"I 'm not gonna knock the kicking crab Xpress. I 've enjoyed it from time to time... And I was actually pretty sad to see that it was closed during Covid times. I 've been so excited to know it was back to the Cerritos mall and serving up that delicious Cajun goodness. Went to the mall a few days ago and ordered their shrimp platter special. The young man who prepared it was so nice and even made recommendations on a spicier sauce which turned out excellent. So good in fact, I went back upon completion of my meal and ordered an extra to go for my husband to dry. Imagine the shock over when I came home with an anemic plate of lackluster shrimp. Now mind you, I had checked out his plate and noticed a major visual difference while still at the mall, I took it back to the kiosk and told them that they had forgotten the sauce to which they apologize for and handed me back a fixed meal. It was nowhere near as good as the first plate and lacked seasoning severely. Forgivable. Not everyone has to have a heavy hand with seasoning and it was just a complement to the rice to have such a nice saucy dish. Cut to a few days later, today in fact. I took my husband to the mall so we could enjoy a shrimp platter together on a nice day out while the kids are at school. I ordered the same thing I have ordered at this point 3 times and received a shrimp platter this time with absolutely no sauce. We unfortunately had Take an hour meal home to enjoy it and were shocked to find essentially some boiled up shrimp and rice and a cooked piece of lemon. Really disappointing, this place is good but check your mail before you leave and make sure it 's actually season. Waste of $16 and our time :"

Don't come here.. go to the real one. Shrimp is so dry.. they will charge you extra for the sauce.. flavor is bland. Disappointing.

The food does not match what is advertised in the pictures. I got the Fried Fish Tacos and the pieces of fish were super tiny. I returned it with no refund given. They only offered to fry another piece of fish! Do not waste your money!

Got the fried shrimp and fries. The cashier mentioned the Cajun seasoning was spicy but I said that be fine. For $12 you get 6 shrimp and fries. The worst ever. The seasoning was sweet and it over powered the whole meal. Way way too much seasoning I had to remove the coating from the shrimp and tossed out the fries. View menu

Shalom, The kickin' crab was spicier than I initially expected. We ordered half a pound of jumbo shrimp (with the heads removed), and it was fantastic! I recommend ordering a full pound instead; it will save you a bit of money and time since you'll definitely want that extra half pound. The sides looked appealing, but we didn’t try them this time. That's about it! Shalom, Brother Drew Brother Drew Ministries

It’s my first time visiting this mall so I was stunned to see a Kickin’ Crab here. The mall was super packed and I got my food in less than 10 minutes. I ordered the 1lb of shrimp (medium kickin style shrimp). The downside is that they don’t have all the full flavors; however, it’s understandable because this is an express pop up. The employees were efficient and nice. The area looks clean and well put. Keep up the great work!

I've tried their food before and had a good experience, so I decided to order more this time. I am really disappointed! I spent nearly $200, and the shrimp were so overcooked that peeling the shells off was a struggle. The shrimp meat came off with the shells, making it impossible for my family and me to enjoy the meal. The crab legs were decent, but the flavor of the sauce was not what I expected. We ordered the seafood in a bag, and considering the restaurant was somewhat busy at the time, I expected better quality food. I'm not sure if the shrimp were overcooked or reheated, but either way, it felt like a waste of money! We also ordered headless shrimp but received them with the heads sti... View menu

I brought a shrimp and fries meal from this place today the girl that took my order was awesome yet when I bit into my shrimp it had a spoiled smell to the shrimp. After returning back to the cashier who was absolutely helpful. I explained that the shrimp smelled spoiled and I would like to receive my money back for the shrimp and just keep my fries. Well, the lady cook in the back caught an attitude when the cashier went to the back to explain about the spoiled fried shrimp. The lady cooks automatically wasn’t trying to be helpful yet the male cook came from the back and try to help. I did not receive my money back and I had to take $15 worth of fries and corn because I was too scared to ea...

"I immediately called the restaurant to explain the situation, and the staff member on shift assured me it would be no problem to correct the order. I provided my husband's name and told her I would give her the order number, but she said she could see it and would handle it. When my husband picked up the order, he confirmed that they had agreed to make the corrections, but when we got home, we discovered that nothing had changed. I called back to address the issue, and the staff member sincerely apologized and promised a refund for the incorrect bowl. However, a minute later, Jasmine called me back with an attitude, claiming she couldn't issue the refund because the order was under my name and not my husband's. I tried to explain that I had offered to provide the order number and mentioned that the website issue had caused the confusion, and that someone had already offered me a full refund. Instead, she only offered a 10% discount on the order. I inquired about when I could speak to the main manager or owner, but Jasmine told me they come in at their convenience and that she would make sure they would address the refund when they had a chance to speak with me. This entire situation could have been handled much more professionally, and I am left wondering when the manager or owner will reach out to resolve the mistake that Jasmine created over a mere $11."
