What you should know about Crab N Spice.
Crab N Spice is best known for being founded in 2015 by Hai Huynh, who introduced a seafood boil concept inspired by the Cajun and Vietnamese-influenced shellfish restaurants of Southern California, establishing the Las Vegas location as one of the brand's earliest expansions outside California. The restaurant prepares live Dungeness crab, King crab, snow crab, lobster, crawfish, head-on shrimp, mussels, clams, oysters, and scallops, allowing guests to customize heat levels, house seasoning blends, and combinations of garlic butter, lemon pepper, Cajun, and Signature Crab N Spice Sauce served in traditional seafood boil bags. Signature menu favorites include the Crab N Spice Combo, Lobster Combo, King Crab Legs, Garlic Noodles, Cajun Fries, Fried Calamari, Po' Boys, Gumbo, and New England Clam Chowder, while rotating seasonal shellfish availability reflects changing seafood harvests throughout the year. Continued expansion across California, Nevada, and Texas, founder Hai Huynh's emphasis on customizable seafood boils, consistently high customer recognition, and a menu combining Gulf Coast cooking with Asian-American culinary influences have established Crab N Spice among the Southwest's most recognizable seafood boil brands.
Steamed King crab, sweet Dungeness crab, tender crawfish, buttery lobster, head-on shrimp, garlic butter, lemon pepper, Cajun spices, and house seasoning establish a culinary theme rooted in abundant shellfish and bold Gulf Coast flavors. Seafood boil bags, rich garlic noodles, crisp calamari, creamy clam chowder, smoky sausage, sweet corn, tender potatoes, and freshly squeezed lemon deepen that foundation through energetic aromas, layered seasoning, and contrasting textures. Precise steaming, disciplined seasoning, attentive seafood handling, careful sauce preparation, and made-to-order boil assembly preserve the integrity of every shellfish selection while allowing the restaurant's signature spice blends to remain the defining focus throughout the dining experience. Together, Hai Huynh's founding vision, customizable seafood boils, distinctive house sauces, and disciplined execution create a dining character defined by freshness, craftsmanship, and enduring coastal culinary tradition.
