According to a recent business filing, Yummy Crab will soon expand with a second location in Vancouver at 8115 NE Vancouver Mall Drive.
A representative of Yummy Crab was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Portland’s request.
While an official opening date has yet to be confirmed, according to Washington Company Search, behind Yummy Crab is Liming Zhang. He is also listed as being behind Yummy Crab in Spokane.
According to an article from The Spokesman-Review, “Yummy Crab Seafood, located at 1723 N. Division St. in a 4,000-square-foot space formerly occupied by Burger King, offers Cajun-style seafood boils along with fried menu options like hush puppies, deep-fried balls of dough made from cornmeal and seasoning.”
“Yummy Crab, which started as a chain around 2019, also has locations in North Carolina, Michigan, Iowa and Illinois. Owner Lee Zhang decided to open a Spokane location upon finding that Spokane lacked the create-your-own, Cajun-flavored seafood boil experience that Yummy Crab offers, Furches said.”
“Yummy Crab’s ingredients mostly come from New Orleans, Florida, and the Washington, D.C., area, Furches said. Customers can pick a combo meal or they can mix and match proteins and sides from a menu that includes three different varieties of crab, clams, mussels, shrimp, crawfish, and lobster.”
“Seafood boils and sides come out in an enclosed plastic bag that customers can shake to mix up the flavors. Orders come with a bib, plastic gloves, and hand wipes, while dine-in seating is equipped accordingly with paper tablecloths, Styrofoam plates, and a bucket for shells.”
