Cajun seafood boil restaurant and Vietnamese kitchen at 8008 Girard Ave, Suite 220 in La Jolla, 92037, opened Thanksgiving Day 2024 by husband-and-wife duo Truc Nguyen and ThuHang Le. Crab City's La Jolla location joins the same 8008 Girard building that houses Taste of the Himalayas and Cherrywine Sushi & Burmese Cuisine — making this single address La Jolla's most concentrated hub of Asian dining. The La Jolla Cove exclusive is lobster pho, available only here alongside the classic Cajun boil lineup. Snow crab legs, whole Dungeness crab, crawfish, King crab, shrimp, and clams all come by the pound in customizable spice blends from mild to fiery. The full Vietnamese menu — pho, banh mi, rice dishes, vermicelli bowls — runs alongside, and 22 rotating local and SoCal draft beers keep the drinks interesting. Happy hour runs 3–5pm Monday through Thursday. Open daily 11am–9pm. Bring your appetite and your people — this is communal, hands-on eating at its best.
