Karai Crab

If you love everything crab, this is your go to spot. It’s a short car ride from Waikiki if you’re visiting. Get the king crab legs, they’re worth it. It’s a nice size portion so it’s good to share, especially if you’re getting other items, options for sauce with a heat index and also several varieties can be cooked in garlic, tropical, etc. The salt and pepper shrimp are the best I’ve ever had, so crispy you can eat the shell and head. They have garlic noodles, get a loaf of bread you’ll want it for dunking into the sauce. Servers are always so friendly and quick service.

Totally beyond expectations. Food was excellent and so was the service. Found Karai Crab on the internet and definitely did not disappoint. Perfect anniversary dinner!! Highly recommend the miso clams!!

Best seafood in Honolulu!! I ate here at the old location about 8 years ago with my family on our summer vacation to Hawaii. My dad hasn’t stopped talking about how good this place was. My husband and I came to Hawaii for our honeymoon and I took him to the new location. Parking was easy and I loved that they had a visual instruction video to show you how to access the garage. It was by far our most favourite meal on our entire trip. The service was top-notch - super friendly and they check on you consistently. The food is absolutely amazing. Super flavourful and cooked perfectly. The calamari were the most tender squid we’ve ever had. We got the colossal sampler for the two of us and it was outstanding - definitely get the karai special sauce. I loved that they give you a bib, scissors, gloves, crab roll, and a bowl for your garbage. You make a huge mess but it’s well worth it and the table it’s covered with paper for that reason. The drinks were also the best we’ve had in Honolulu. And we had the pecan tarts for dessert - perfect way to end the meal. We wish we could’ve come again during our stay in Honolulu. It’s family run and you can tell how passionate they are about serving you the best seafood and ensuring you have the best dining experience. It’s definitely worth the short trek out of Waikiki. Highly highly recommend Karai Crab!

Karai Crab was awesome. The Karai wings were crunchy and seasoned perfectly. The fries were cooked just right with a crunch. My wife loved the shrimp and chicken. Food came out 7 minutes after ordering and my drink never went empty and I got 8 refills. Amazing service and food.

Sweet stuff, super fast serving speed, and delicious food make it worthy of 5 star. Recommend the catfish, any shellfish with the spicy Cajun flavor. The snow crab is either not fresh or overcooked, that’s what I would not recommend.

DELICIOUS seafood!!!! I finally got to have King crab and it was so good. Everything was fresh, good flavor & seasoning, and excellent attentive service.

Food was great! Service was just as good!

We had our family dinner here recently and everything was really good. The food was amazing! It was larger than what the picture shows. There was 5 adults and 2 children in our party and it was more than enough. We got the Kraken from the Happy Hour menu and we also ordered the Miso clams. The staff was very attentive and friendly.
