Positive User: A great dining experience here. Foods are on the higher price side but you can assure that they are high-quality seafood.
Avocado crab salad has a strong wasabi taste which I am not a fan of but that might be just me. Crab pate suits my taste bud pretty well.
I am not a fan of their crab risotto as they are too mushy for my liking. Butter clams are fresh and delicious. Prawn bisque tasted like a nonspicy curry to me but it was all good.
Their signature Crabzillas are the highlight of the day. We have two of them in garlic chili and steamed butter respectively. Both are very meaty and juicy but I preferred steamed butter as it could preserve much of the crab sweetness.
Give it a try when you are in Bangkok. No regret!
Positive User: Keep calm and crab on 🦀💯👍
Positive User: Love the food
Four Stars
Positive User: Pricey restaurant in Bangkok. Crab was nice. Minus one star for the tiny oysters (around 8-10 small oysters) which cost 990 baht, which you don’t necessarily have to order as you can find bigger and better taste ones in EmQuariter shopping mall ground floor Gourmet Market.
Dessert is bare nice.
Positive User: Average cost 3000 bhat. I think curry crabs is better than black pepper crabs.
Positive User: Expect to spend near 2500 THB per person. Food was good without being great. Service was very good, especially with the complimentary crab cracking. With the high price factored in though, it’s not a surprise that the restaurant was not busy.

Three Stars
Neutral User: It’s alright
Neutral User: Compared to other places the crab and prawn is not that spectacular, the prices, however, are. Definitely one of the more expensive establishments. The value for money is not really given, even if the service is quite good.
Neutral User: Prices are very high. If you mention your birthday or anniversary when making a reservation, you will receive a free coconut creme brûlée. This is delicious!
Shrimp might be better than crab.

Two Stars
Negative User: The food was okay but expensive, probably due to imported seafood. But the taste was average, nothing special for someone from South East Asia.
Negative User: Just can’t compare to the Colombo nor Shanghai locations unfortunately. Environment / ambiance wasn’t that unique in comparison to their other locations.
Crabs decent quality!
Service was… so so. Bring a cardigan as it was very cold with AC on directly above you.
Negative User: Not the best pepper crab given the prices
One Star
Negative User: I travel extensively for food. This place was a complete let down for the price paid. The crab was fresh but bland and not palatable. I found some amazing restaurants in Bangkok but this one did not make it to the list.
Negative User: The slender man who spoke very badly Very bad service
Negative User: First and foremost, the only reason I can post a review is by giving it minimum 1 star but if I could, I would rate my overall experience as a 0 / 5.
While I consider myself an open-minded person, I am baffled as to how this place gets so much praise in terms of food quality and overall experience. The menu items were presented on an iPad and while I mean no disrespect to the waiting staff, I probably saw more passion from a primary school play then in their motivation to serve and be hospitable. Furthermore, I did not appreciate how evidently they showed no respect to my girlfriend who was accompanying me, whether it is by not addressing her directly when she spoke to the hostess or not even pulling out her chair when she was sitting down.
We ordered garlic crab which we can safely say had zero taste or seasoning of garlic ; an extremely blend and heavily drowning in oil type of dish. The same can be said of the supposedly “garlic fried rice” – throwing a few pieces of burnt garlic on the rice does not make it a fried rice. We also ordered 12 “butter” shrimps which honestly I am not even sure if real butter was used at all, as this dish was blend as well. The best part of our meal was the garlic bread, my beer and the bottled water ; an extremely overpriced meal for such poor quality and service provision. A shame because of the supposed praise of this establishment, I highly recommend you avoid it for seafood and crab in particular.
