“ This is always my go to place in Singapore. I love all of the food here and the service is very good. We did not have reservations on a Friday at 515PM, but it was before the rush that starts around 630 or so. We were sat at a table closest to the water so our view was great. They took our orders right away and wound up serving our drinks fairly quickly. For food, we ordered the chili crab, the pepper crab, pork spare ribs, drunken prawns, fried pepper prawns and some venison with green onions. The items came to the table in a time staggered fashion which I appreciated. The staff was attentive to bring additional drinks, napkins, gloves, etc... As always, the food here was excellent, the serving sizes were fair, and the prices seem about normal for this area. My favorite item is always the pepper crab and surprisingly the venison was a close second. The venison was very tender and flavorful. I will be back, ”

“ 10/10 overall experience! Lisa and tammy took care of us and made our dinner a memorable first time . Had to order their alaskan king crab and try out their recommended black pepper and chili type of preparation which turned our very very good. Can't wait to come back again! ”

“ During my visit to Singapore, I was told I must try their famous chili crab so we made a reservation weeks in advance for a table of 4. Thank goodness for the reservation because we were told wait times was up to an hour! Also note that they have 2 locations in Clark Quay. I had a mini heart attack when the hostess asked which location I booked for and I had no idea and wasn't sure I was at the correct restaurant. I like how they give you bibs, gloves, and wet napkins because this was the messiest meal ever. They also give you some tools to assist with cracking the shells and picking the crab meat out. We ordered both the chili crab and the black pepper version but honestly I prefer the chili sauce more. The black pepper was too spicy for me. I liked using the mantou to dip into the sauce. However, I thought the crabs were not as impressive as people made them sound. A little overrated in my opinion. Overall a decent and delicious meal but can get pretty expensive. ”

“ I went to the Dempsey Road location. Every dish is to-die-for amazing! I have to eat at Jumbo Seafood at least once wherever I visit Singapore. We ordered 6 dishes for the 4 of us. Good portion size and every giddy is so flavorful Black Pepper Crabs - my absolute favorite with the perfect balance of spiciness and sweetness! For the first time I did not have to dirty my hands to peel the crabs! The staff peeled every piece and arranged the meat nicely on the plate for us. All we have to do is dip the meat into the sauce and enjoy the flavors of each bite! Even though I enjoyed the pampering, I do prefer to peel and suck on the flavor off the crabs myself. Drunken Prawns - big fresh prawns cooked in rich flavorful soup Mushrooms with Vegetables - very tasty Stir-fry Flat Noodles - this is a unique dish where the top is crispy noodles and the bottom is pan-friend and saucy. Love the combo and again so delicious Black Glutinous Rice with Coconut Milk - this is a common dessert and can be found cheaply at hawker centers or food courts. But Jumbo alleviated it by serving it in a fancy bowl with dry ice effect. Definitely a wow moment when they serve but taste is not extraordinary Jumbo Seafood is definitely not the cheapest place to enjoy seafood in Singapore but they are one of the best in terms of taste and quality. Their service is outstanding and attentive too! ”

“ Visited Singapore on family vacation late June and had to try the famous Singaporean Chili Crab. Our party of 4 made a reservation a couple weeks in advance and had no issues getting a dinner table secured. The venue had a modern and clean look. The hosts primarily spoke mandarin, but some could speak English as well. The chili crab was definitely an experience! You get a bib, gloves, and a wet wipe to tackle this meal. The crab was solid and the sauce was both sweet and had a bit of a kick to it as well. The dish is definitely messy! Probably not a first date spot, but definitely a cool experience. Please note the Chili Crab sauce has peanuts so if you have a peanut allergy, you'll want to avoid. ”

“ (4.25) ~ Very good Overall food & Service. NOTE: Reservations recommended. DRINKS: ** Watermelon Juice = (5) Excellent! ** Water (bottle) = (4.5) Very Good! FOOD: ** Chilled Mango Sago Pomelo = (4.25) Very tasty Treat ** Shark Fin Soup = (4) very unique. NOTE: The "Superior" one is a whole fin, the regular is chopped up. ** Chinese Scallions (side) = (4) very tasty & shareable ** Chili Crab (Mud Crab) = (4) very good, but should be called "Sweet" Chili Crab b/c it's very sweet and not spicy at all. Depending on the size of the crab could be shared. The Mud Crab meat tastes very close to Blue Crabs found in Maryland. Will try the Black Pepper version next time b/c I wanted more spice (heat). * Mango Pudding = (3.75) Good ”

“ Jumbo Seafood is a staple of Singapore and a must-visit for chili crab! I've visited Jumbo Seafood every time I've been to Singapore but on my recent trip, we decided to check out this location which is on the Clark Quay river, pretty close to the other location down the river. We made a reservation ahead of time (highly recommended as they often are booked out for the night around 6-7pm) and were seated right away. We ordered our favorites, the chili crab (get the mud crab!) and sambal kang kong aka water spinach. It's the perfect combination for 2 people and the vegetables are so flavorful from their sambal sauce which we may like enough more than the crab. Definitely visit Jumbo while in Singapore and they even have a location in the airport if you're stretch for time. ”

“ As one of the most popular chain restaurants for chili crab, I managed a reservation the day prior for 5pm. When I arrived, they noted that our reservation was only for 1.5hours or they'd have to move our tables. It was fine until they inform you that the chili crab may take 45 minutes, which I had no idea until we ordered. We also ordered some Kang Kong Veggies (SG$24), but weird that they brought that plate to us right away. Shouldn't they have waited to bring it out with our crab? Poor time management on their part. While we waited, someone also came around to all the tables offering some Fried Salted Egg Prawn Chin (SG$9.80). This was a pretty good snack and I really enjoyed the salted egg flavor on it. Finally, our crabs came. First was the award-winning Chili Mud Crab (SG$153.40 for 1.3kg). Wow, this looked and tasted amazing. I have to say that the sauce on the crab really made this dish stand out. You definitely need the rice to soak up all the sauce. The best part was mixing the rice into the shell as a bowl and getting all the inside juices. Next, we also got the Signature Black Pepper Dungeness Crab (SG$107.80 for 1.1kg). Sadly, this one was just mediocre and I would've rather had more chili crab or tried some other dishes. Overall, some hits and some misses. I'd mainly come for the chili crab though. That sauce is one of the best things I've tasted. ”
