The Kickin’ Crab is kicking up something new for Sin City. According to a Clark County permit, the Viet-Cajun-style seafood boil food chain is slated to open in Spring Valley at 4190 S Rainbow Blvd, Ste. 1.

The new Las Vegas opening is already listed as “coming soon” on The Kickin’ Crab website.

What Now Las Vegas attempted to reach out to The Kickin’ Crab founder, Jan Nguyen, but did not hear back by the time of this publication.

Nguyen founded the brand in Southern California in 2017. Nguyen immigrated from Vietnam in the 1970s and worked in Louisiana, where she learned the Cajun cooking style. She later combined this with Vietnamese flavor profiles at home before launching the restaurant.

The Kickin’ Crab has grown to multiple locations, featuring a signature bagged-seafood service. There are now more than 20 The Kickin’ Crab restaurants in California, Texas, Arizona, and Missouri, with California having the most locations.

“Dive into a Cajun seafood experience at The Kickin’ Crab! Feast on the freshest catches, drenched in our signature KC sauces—a tantalizing blend of spicy, sweet, and tangy flavors,” The Kickin’ Crab website reads.

“Here, it’s all about hands-on dining—no plates, no utensils, just your hands and a bib. Whether you’re gathering with friends or family, our vibrant atmosphere sets the stage for unforgettable moments. Join the Crustacean Nation and embark on a flavor adventure that will leave your taste buds craving more!”

The Kickin’ Crab offers a long list of starters, including oysters, and also serves soups. Customers can get their seafood on a plate or in a bag. If you opt in for the plate option, you’re looking at either Seafood ScampiSeafood Alfredo PastaKC Tilapia, or KC Trout. The seafood in the bag option comes with a plethora of choices, from mussels to clams to lobster. Of course, the Kickin’ Crab has a slew of sides to go along with your meal.

The Kickin’ Crab is anticipated to debut in Las Vegas in Spring Valley at 4190 S Rainbow Blvd, Ste. 1, by the end of this year.
