The Roasted Crab - Santa Clara

We have the combo of the king and the garlic noodles. it was amazing. we were filled and the seasoned / taste?. the total amount was almost $150, a tad expensive, but it was worth once in a dae.

The food was amazing. The service was also great (Tyler served us)

In the last few years, there are many restaurants specializing in seafood in the SJ area. The crawfish and crabs seem to be the favorites because these restaurants have their specialty sauce dialed in perfectly for the taste of customers.We happened to be in a new restaurant in Mercado shopping center. It’s close to HomeGoods and Movie theaters, one stop shopping and dinning. The parking lot is huge easy to find a parking spot on a busy Friday night.The place is new and clean, full bar but not too many tables, therefore reservations is recommended. The prices are on the mid level but the food is excellent.The sweet potato fries were amazingly crispy and mouth watering for appetizer.The shrimps on skewers were so tender and well marinated.Deep fried calamari was crispy and can’t stop eating.Cajun squid was just right amount of spice and tender.The crab we had was big and full of meat, the sauce was extremely tasty, I’m a good cook but I can’t imagine how they roasted this crab with full flavored like that. Some crabs have less meat inside the shells, but the one I had was full to the shells, they do know how to select their crabs. It’s all in the sauce, flavorful and the salt was just right.We had crawfish also, they came in a bag with the special sauce again, quite excellent, we asked to take the sauce home to eat with baguette or steamed rice. I normally don’t like to eat crawfish because there’s not much meat and lot of work to eat them, but they’re actually satisfying when tasting them with the sauce of course.The fried rice was specifically fried, a little burnt to have some crispy, crunch taste, quite unique and good IMO. The salt was just right also.The oysters were so fresh and sweet, they’re supposed to be a special hand picked from some famous source, I couldn’t have enough of them although they’re not inexpensive LOL.The clams were amazing, haven’t seen any of the full bodied clams before, so juicy and tender and their sauce was delicious.We were insisted on trying their signature drink, shark, it’s a huge glass with some blue mix with shark gummy beat type in it that you can actually eat. It’s big enough for both of me and my wife and quite unique.We will take our children back here for dinner, they will love this place although they’re not crazy about seafood, but my daughter likes crawfish and my son love fried rice.

This place is AMAZING. We had King's combo with their signature sauce, no spicy. Every ingredient tastes so fresh and delicious. The King Crab legs are big and rich in meat, the mussels are huge and soft, the prawns' texture tastes very fresh. Even the fries are very well made. The price might look a bit high, but it's 100% worth it.Hope they can keep it up!Highly recommended!

Best seafood in town. Highly recommended roasted crab and garlic noodle
