Small Chinatown spot for flavorful seafood boils and budget-friendly fried seafood, with uneven service and occasional cleanliness and quality lapses—great value if you prioritize price over polish.
The verdict
Chubby Crab delivers strong value-driven casual dining with solid food quality when execution hits—fresh boils and generous portions draw loyal repeat visitors. However, inconsistent seasoning and order accuracy, combined with cleanliness and food safety concerns, prevent a higher grade. Best suited for budget-conscious diners prioritizing flavor and portion over comfort and reliability.
One caveat: Shrimp sometimes arrive uncleaned and seasoning can be uneven
