We ordered the crabs, garlic prawns, chicken wings and fried rice and bread, man that was one amazing meal, ate so much.... As a bonus after we finished walked across to a lorry selling durian... What a finish to the already wow dinner. Must try, will be going there again. Note it's open only from 5pm to 11:39pm, and think... More

We arrived at 5pm when the restaurant was just opened and there were already 5 tables occupied with people waiting to have their orders taken! We ordered the house speciality: sweet, sour, spicy crabs, fried rice, chicken wings and toast. The crabs were gigantic! Full of succulent meat and the sauce was really delicious, especially when used as a dipping... More

Limited menu means the chefs here concentrate on making the few items they make really GOOD! Different version of chilli crab available here, not the tomato-based sauce type. The unique sauce makes the chilli crab here worth having. More

I didn't know that the Name of the restaurant is what it is in the menu. Crabs. Well at least I manage to order a Crab Fried Rice, and luckily it was a not too bad dish. Any other dishes you wish to order that you usually does when you enter a restaurant, you will not be able to find... More

Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy.... even thinking about it makes me drool.... Ok, let's get to the point, I have tasted chilli crabs all around south east asia & this is the place I would recommend. Try getting here early; around 5pm ish, to avoid the long wait... Yes, there is a queue system of sort which does work, and... More

A friend took us to this place a few years ago, and it was a wonderful dinner with huge and tasty crabs. A revisit recently has turned out to be a disappointment. Fried rice, fried chicken wings and crabs tasted very, very average; nothing memorable or deserving a return visit. The thing I find most unacceptable is their limited menu.... More

Its a must if you are a crab lover! The crabs are cooked in sweet and sour sauce to perfection. Must not missed the buns that goes extremely well with the sweet and sour sauce! More

Me, my wife and daughter had dinner and I do not have much to say except, if you like good quality sea food with finger licking taste and value for money then this is THE place. Avg cost per person is RM 50-60. If you stay far from the area this restaurant is located, then they deliver to almost all... More
