Place: Crabby Cafe, Castor & Longshore

First and foremost.... Crabby Cafe is known for it's seafood not it's Pho. But.... the adventurous person in me needed to try it.

The broth was okay. It had a hint of spice and definitely had fat. It was aromatic and the flavor was bland but you could taste the fish sauce they used in it. Props for going traditional on this one! It wasn't the worst flavor but definitely not the best.

The meat quality was okay. The steak was thin and cooked with the broth. There was no tripe or tendon. The brisket was cut way too thick. Think BBQ brisket slices instead of paper thin pho style.The meatballs were your standard frozen bo vien. It wasn't fantastic but again it wasn't terrible.

The vegetables seemed fresh. They gave you enough of lime, jalapeno, basil and bean sprouts.

The noodles were cooked nicely and they gave you plenty of it. 

The Pho looked alright. You could tell automatically that there wasn't as many layers of meat or flavor just by looking at it.

It was very affordable the Dac Biet was about 8.00.

I would NOT recommend this place based on the Pho. But that's purely because of the PHO. If you want amazing seafood and crabby special wings (fried fish sauce wings) then you NEED to go here. That Crabby Sauce for the seafood is like crack.... you gotta try it.
