Mr. Youssef is the best. It's a very welcoming restaurant & the staff are very nice as for the service I was very impressed how fast it was for the quantity of food ordered. Number 1 date night spot this place is a gem!!
I went for the first time yesterday & I have to say it was delicious. They were very nice & provide a great first time experience. I got the Cajun sauce & the Jumbo dish that had a bit of everything. Definitely recommend! I was suppose to call back to tell them what I think, but I'll leave this review instead! Will definitely come back
Fast serving, very clean, fresh seafood & lots of it for the price. Absolutely delicious I recommend this place was a great experience to eat directly on the table.
We accidentally discovered this restaurant. The high Google reviews caught my attention, but the photos didn't seem to justify the ratings-the food lacked that signature seafood boil appeal. Still, I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, my gut feeling was right; the place felt overrated, possibly due to inflated reviews. For context, I've enjoyed seafood boils in California, Hawaii, & Houston-some of the best places for this cuisine. Now in Montreal, I had low but realistic expectations for Ooh Crab, & it still disappointed. Upon entering, we were greeted by a host (likely the owner) who seemed disinterested, spending most of his time on his phone. You're required to order, pay, & tip before receiving any service, which made the experience feel very transactional. As others have mentioned, no water is offered-you have to purchase bottled water. It seems they aim to avoid doing dishes since everything is disposable except for the cutlery, which I suppose is a smart move operationally. We ordered the Jumbo Mix for with rice & potatoes. Sensing it wouldn't be enough, we added the fried calamari with shrimp, totaling nearly $100 before taxes & tip. The shrimp & rice were good, but the lobster tail was overcooked & had noticeably shrunk. The crab legs were small, frozen, & also overcooked. Clearly most of the seafood served were frozen. The only decent dish was the fried calamari & shrimp, which is hard to mess up. We tried to make the most of it, but I would pass on returning. At this price point, there are too many better options out there.
We ordered the ooh crabe mix platter (seafood boil) for pick up tonight. So good! Yussef was very helpful during my phone call (full of questions) for our order. Will return.
Ooh Crabe is a seafood lover's dream! The crabs are perfectly seasoned, tender, & full of flavor. The garlic butter shrimp & fried crawfish are also outstanding. The staff is friendly, & the atmosphere is casual & fun. Highly recommend for anyone craving fresh, delicious seafood!
