I just went to Chili Crab tonight for the first time, and I am thoroughly impressed. When you first walk in, you can tell they put a lot of effort into redesigning the restaurant (the building used to be a BBQ place), and the decor is very nice. Next, the service was impeccable: very polite and friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. And of course, most importantly, the food! We had a bit of everything: the xiaolongbao, gyoza, various shrimp dim sum, yuzu honey ribs, Taiwanese popcorn chicken, calimari, chili chicken (quite spicy, as it should be!), and romaine with garlic. I loved everything, each dish was prepared perfectly and the flavors were fantastic. We tried one of each dessert and they were all a great fusion of traditional fine dining dessert choices but with a distinct Asian twist.Overall I highly recommend Chili Crab, it's a little on the pricier end but between the quality of the food and the portions, totally worth the occasional splurge.
A new hidden gem for Boca! The owner Alan makes their dumplings homemade from scratch and fresh every day. Very great customer service and beautiful atmosphere. Great energy. Will come back again and will be a great customer.
Loved everything about this place ! Rather than try to remember all the dishes names I’ll add the pics. Forgot to take pics of the 2 types of dumplings. Everything was amazing and I don’t say this lightly. We had very personalized and attentive service .Cant wait to back .
The food itself is very authentic and not like you'd find at other places (suchaspfchangs). There are little Chinese decorations throughout the place to give it that type of vibe. The waiter was friendly and attentive. Recommended to try new foods here that are ACTUALLY Chinese.
Follow @eatwithhordy! This was the first, and likely final, visit to this place. After much hesitation due to some menu review before hand and their exorbitant pricing, we decided to take the plunge. The menu consisted of some of the standard Chinese restaurant dishes along with some items outside the box from your average restaurant. Starting with an assortment of dim sum we were able to taste a few of their different dumpling options. Most of which were boring, except the cilantro shrimp, and at a price tag of $25 for 8, it was certainly not worth it. The pan seared pompano, which came filet’d, was still rather bony. Layered in a sweet house soy sauce, it was half decent, but certainly nothing to come back for. One of the main reasons I came was for the Peking duck. A good Peking is hard to come by down here in the area. Even though it was over salted, this wasn’t half bad. The skin (my fav) was crispy as can be. The meat was mostly tender and had a good flavor. The pancakes traditionally served appeared to be made from rice (I could certainly be wrong) instead of flour and had the wrong consistency for this dish. At an absurd $40 for a location of this type, I just can’t justify it. You know when you have that little voice that whispers inside you, “don’t do it”, well I should probably listen more often.
We were passing through and decided to stop to eat here, since I am passionate about Asian food, I was really pleased, the attention was excellent and if you want to try the true Asian flavors I recommend coming, everything was just delicious!!!!
We stopped here for my birthday dinner tonight. We had no reservation, and were still seated immediately. Staff was outstanding, very informative, and fun! The food was delicious. The Peking duck is amazing! Everything was very delicious! We highly recommend dining here. The atmosphere, the food, the drinks, and the service were all the very best. We will be back !
Went with my mom while we were on vacation because the owner of our hotel recommended it. Everything was amazing. I looked at reviews online ahead and saw everyone loved the Peking duck, Mom said it was the best meal she's ever had at a restaurant and I can't disagree. Food was amazing and service was great.
Our family hosted a rehearsal dinner in November and we cannot praise staff enough! When approached about the dinner, Staff said he would make it easy for us and he did! He came up with limited menu that included great choices and the food was delicious! , so friendly, helpful and attentive. Such an enjoyable evening at such a special time! Thank you!
My group was orginally planning on going to a restaurant nearby but it was closed for renovations. We decided to try Riverside and boy are we glad that we did. The food and atmosphere was absolutely amazing. It got some blackened shrimp over noodles and it was amazing. I tried some other foods that people in my group got and it was great as well. Don't pass this place up. Go eat there, now!
