The PB&J chicken wings are absolutely amazing! Of course the seafood is amazing as well. We had the crab and prawns which were really yummy however the best part of the experience was having a piece of butchers paper on the table and getting absolutely filthy while eating. Very fun!

Taste - Singpore snow crabs were best tasting by far. However crabs were not all that fresh tasting which was a slight let down. Cocktails were quite nice. The lobster fries were a major let down as there seemed to be no actual lobster meat present in this dish. Salt and pepper squid were nice. Cost - In comparison to what you get, this place is quite steep. Costed $180 for the below photos plus 2 drinks. Happy hour is quite nice and cheap for drinks and oysters if you dine at the right time.

Utterly disappointing! As a previous customer it is obvious either management has changed or some serious cost cutting measures are in place. First, price is on the high side. As most would agree it can still be worth it when the seafood is fresh and tasty however when the food is bland, cheap and frozen. It is not a good feeling. We started off with the special of the night, the buffalo squid. It was below average as it was served cold, batter thick, hard and a little soggy. Gave me the impression it was previously fried, fridged and simply refried before serving to "warm" it up. However benefit of the doubt still at play, I excitedly anticipated to the main reason I was here, the flavoursome bag of mixed seafood goodies (previously served in a plastic bag of generous serving of tasty sauce). What came out instead was...2 dry looking pots of what appears to be seafood. Let me get to the point as I've probably wasted enough time already first at the restaurant and now writing this but hopefully it'll save you both time and money. We ordered the mudcrab with the Singaporean sauce. The mud crab first of all was tiny like the size of a fist, it tasted frozen, mushy and actually a little unethical to eat. I got the impression it was simply steamed or boiled and then a scoop of singaporean (more just like chilli sauce, was not sweet and didn't have eggs) sauce was added. Kinda funny how they give you some staled bread on the side to scoop the sauce with but how do you scoop when there's barely enough sauce for even the crab? Next dish...the creole butter prawns was just as underwhelming. Again felt it was boiled and a scoop of butter (unflavoured) was added to the mix. Lacked serious flavour and freshness. Might have as well bought some raw prawns (on special due to expiring soon) and boiled it yourself. Probably would have turned out nicer. All in all, It was literally a struggle to finish both the crabs and prawns but then again it was the first time I walked out leaving some crabs still on the house. Something is definitely not right when the best dish of the night was the free prawn crackers you get before you even ordered. Management, hope you find this feedback helpful and actionable too.

Has the Singapore style crabs. They were more chilli than Singapore which is typically more sweeter with sweet chilli sauce and saucy. Overall a unique experience

🦑 Warm, retro diner themed deco with lively vibes! Spacious dining areas are perfect for small groups and family minded individuals. Ordered the Alaskan king crab which was cooked in a juicy Singaporean sauce, mudcrab was dissapointatingly small and unflavorful. The cheeseburger 🍔 was served with generous portions of fries 🍟 and sauce. However both mudcrab and burger was mediocre at best and quite dry with a rubbery after taste. No freshness detected. 🌟Would recommend if you're after wonderful Alaskan Kingcrabs but stay away from the mudcrabs and burgers if that's your thing 🦀🦀
