About

The Kickin' Crab is a Cajun seafood restaurant in Irvine, CA, known for its hands-on dining experience where bibs replace napkins and no utensils are needed. The menu centers on fresh seafood boils tossed in signature KC sauces that blend spicy, sweet, and tangy flavors. Guests rave about the snow crab, shrimp, crawfish, and clams, and the combo options let you mix and match your favorite catches. The lively atmosphere suits a wide range of occasions, from date nights and family outings to girls' nights and group hangouts. Outdoor seating is available, and the restaurant is kid-friendly.
