Forget a bucket or a bowl, the seafood comes in plastic bags and you dig right in.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n There is a variety of appetizers to choose from like chicken wings, satay, fries and egg rolls. We ordered the wings and fries. The wings were not spicy at all and came with a sweet sauce and a mayo sauce.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a>

The Crab Planet <\/a>is a “Halal” restaurant located in the Canoga Park neighborhood of the San Fernando Valley on Desoto Avenue.\u00a0It is the sister property of Lemon Grass Thai-Halal Restaurant<\/a>\u00a0located a few miles away.<\/h4>\n
<\/a>
Located on the main Desoto Ave, you cannot drive past it. From outside even if you don’t read the name, the Crab tells you its mainly seafood.\u00a0 Parking is right in front of the restaurant and is a bit tight.\u00a0The entrance hallway is wide and gives an open feel to the dining area and the adjacent bar. The lovely bar\u00a0and the dining area has a rustic tone with an underwater theme throughout the restaurant which compliments the menu.<\/h4>\n

The Crab Planet is a Cajun-Thai-Seafood place and has the same concept as “The Boiling Crab” <\/a>and “The Shrimp Haus”<\/a> restaurants where you order seafood by the pound, decide your\u00a0seasonings\u00a0and choose the heat level. But that’s not it. They have a full Thai menu too with yummy appetizers, soups and entrees. Also its good to have an option of\u00a0a fusion restaurant in the San Fernando Valley so do you not end up driving far to enjoy Cajun seafood.<\/h4>\n

The kids did not want to try the seafood so we ordered Thai fried rice and Chow Mein for them and that too without veggies. As for the adults we ordered Tom Yum Soup, Drunken Noodles with Beef from the Thai menu. We ordered headless jumbo shrimps with Cajun seasoning and a side of rice and lobster with crazy mix seasoning (which is a mixture of all seasonings since we could not decide on one :))<\/h4>\n
