Happy Crab Will Soon Debut in Auburn

According to a recent permit filing, Happy Crab has filed for a location in Auburn at 22 A Street SW.

A representative of Happy Crab was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Seattle’s request.

While an official opening date has yet to be confirmed for Happy Crab, according to the company website , “At Happy Crab, we’re bringing a taste of the bayou to the cities of Auburn and Yakima.”

“Happy Crab invites you to a culinary journey that will transport you to the heart of the South. Our commitment to quality shines through in every dish, whether you’re savoring the rich flavor of our seafood baskets or indulging in our iconic Cajun fries.”

“Here at Happy Crab, every meal is a celebration of bold tastes, good company, and the joy of Southern living.”

Behind Happy Crab, amongst multiple businesses in the Seattle metro, is Xiaoli “Lily” Wu. One of those businesses is Xi’An Noodles. Xi’An’s website states, “Xi’an Noodles was founded in May of 2016 by Lily Wu, a Chinese immigrant with a dream of bringing the famous “biang biang noodles” of Xi’an (the capital of China’s Shaanxi province) to Seattle.”

“Lily dedicated two full years to learning and perfecting the craft of noodle-making before moving to Seattle, where she made her dream a reality in the form of Xi’an Noodle’s flagship restaurant, located on University Way in the UDistrict neighborhood.”
