If you don’t love crab enough to eat it until you literally explode, this place isn’t for you. Everything about this experience caters to only the truest of crab enjoyers. You sit down, they open the crab for you, you eat it, you’re happy. My wife and I did the “B” tier all you can eat deal which was in our opinion PERFECT as it comes with a king crab leg for each person, unlimited snow crab, and unlimited other dishes. We also tried the fried shrimp, salmon sushi, and shrimp sushi. The fried shrimp and salmon sushi were also phenomenal, I’d skip the shrimp sushi next time to have more valuable room for other delicious things. We’d recommend this place and we’d come back!
PS: we are from the USA so we were surprised that butter was not served with the crab. HOWEVER, the chili sauce that is on your table as you sit down is an excellent substitute.
It was great. They actually open the crab for you. Loved the king crab I didn't eat much else lol even though I ordered option A
