Our story

Family-run.
Flavor-first.

Founded by Theresa Tran, The Crab Pad blends Vietnamese-inspired Cajun flavors with a laid-back dining experience built for cracking shells and sharing great food.

Nine years in Logan Square, and still every dish is made fresh and tossed in our house-made sauces. #IGotCrabsInChicago
