About Dada

Sinh Nguyen, a fisherman by trade from Seadrift, Texas, met with Dada Ngo of Kansas in 1995. With a love for Cajun seafood boil, the couple founded The Boiling Crab in 2004. Their first location, in the heart of Orange County’s Little Saigon, was decorated with kitschy fake anchors, fishing nets, and photos of Mr. Nguyen’s family, who were crabbers and shrimpers for generations in Vietnam. After 15 years, The Boiling Crab is expanding to more than 21 locations including California, Texas, Nevada, Hawaii and Florida. With locations in Shanghai and Manila, 2020 is marked as the year that The Boiling Crab begins to share its secret flavorful sauce, The Whole Shabang®, with the world.
