The service was good, I’m not going to lie. The staff member who served us was friendly, attentive, and professional. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the overall dining experience. We ordered one fried rice, one fried kway teow, and two crabs. It took approximately an hour for all of our dishes to be served, which was already disappointing. The pricing was another major concern. The prices of both the fried rice and fried kway teow were, in my opinion, unreasonably high. As for the two crabs, the total came to SGD 330. I’ll leave it to others, especially locals who are more familiar with the market, to decide whether that is a reasonable price. I want to emphasize again that the staff member who served us was very nice, and my criticism is not directed at him. However, I genuinely believe the management should reconsider both its pricing and the overall value offered to customers. After seeing the final bill and considering the long waiting time, the experience was a huge disappointment. The pricing left us feeling seriously overcharged.

We had a seafood platter that had the best mix of amazing seafood. Just what we wanted to experience in Singapore. Great location with a table on the quay which was beautiful and relaxing, also the staff were lovely and helpful. Tables very well cleaned. Would 100% recommend this restaurant.

Nice seafood with great views! Picked 1.2kg live crab and chose the black pepper style which was very fresh and juicy, and not too spicy, just nice. The sambal Lala was pretty good too, and ordered egg fried rice for the kids and they liked it. Service was great / friendly, and outdoor seating on a nice evening with river views makes the perfect atmosphere.

Amazing Live Alaskan King Crab Experience! I had a wonderful dinner at Marina Seafood House, and it was truly a memorable seafood experience. The highlight of our dinner was the live Alaskan King Crab. They showed us the live crab, and I was able to choose the Alaskan King Crab myself before it was prepared. It was very fresh and impressive! 🦀 We chose to have it prepared as Singapore Chilli Crab, and it was absolutely delicious. The Alaskan King Crab meat was incredibly fresh, sweet, juicy and tender. The chilli crab sauce was rich, flavourful and perfectly balanced — slightly sweet, savoury and spicy. It went perfectly with the fresh king crab meat. For me, this was one of the best chilli crab experiences in Singapore. The quality and freshness of the seafood really stood out. Being able to see and select the live Alaskan King Crab before cooking gave us confidence that we were getting genuinely fresh seafood. The service was also excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive and helpful throughout our dinner. They explained the seafood and made sure everything was served nicely. The atmosphere was comfortable and enjoyable, making it a great place for dinner with family and friends. If you love fresh seafood, live Alaskan King Crab and Singapore Chilli Crab, I highly recommend Marina Seafood House. The freshness, taste, service and overall experience were excellent. I will definitely come back again. Highly recommended for seafood and chilli crab lovers! 🦀❤️ Excellent food, fresh seafood and great service!

One of the best places for chilli crab and fresh seafood in Singapore! 🦀🦞 I had an amazing dining experience at Marina Seafood House @ Boat Quay. The Singapore Chilli Crab was absolutely delicious — fresh, meaty and cooked in a rich, flavourful chilli sauce. The Black Pepper Crab was also outstanding, with a perfect balance of spice and aroma. The seafood was very fresh, the portions were satisfying, and the service was friendly and attentive. The beautiful riverside atmosphere at Boat Quay made the experience even better. If you’re looking for great chilli crab and crab in Singapore, I highly recommend Marina Seafood House. Definitely worth visiting, and I’ll be coming back again! ❤️🦀

Crabs and lobster are very fresh in fact they are live and live in fish tank you can see. Other seafood may not be good, so I recommend getting a big crab, lobster and sharing with a party whilst enjoying the view. The vibe is really nice, the 1.5kg Sri Lankan crab cost 177$. Also very nearby is so much nightlife activity, bustling city.

Highly recommend Marina Seafood House! The ambiance right by Boat Quay is absolutely fantastic, and the staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive. It is the perfect spot for a great meal, light drinks and a lovely evening by the water.

Had a fantastic dining experience at Marina Seafood House, especially with their famous Chilli Crab and Black Pepper Crab! 🦀🔥 The Chilli Crab was absolutely delicious. The sauce was rich, thick, sweet, savoury, and had just the right amount of spicy kick. Every bite of the fresh crab was packed with flavour, and the sauce was so good that we couldn’t stop dipping the buns into it. It’s definitely the kind of dish that makes you want to order extra sauce! The Black Pepper Crab was equally impressive. The fragrant black pepper sauce had a wonderful balance of spice and savouriness, with a strong peppery aroma that went perfectly with the sweetness of the crab meat. The flavour was bold without overpowering the natural taste of the seafood. What I really enjoyed was that both dishes had their own distinct character. The Chilli Crab was rich, saucy, and slightly sweet with a spicy kick, while the Black Pepper Crab was more aromatic, peppery, and robust. If you love crab, I would honestly recommend trying both rather than choosing just one. The seafood tasted fresh, the portions were satisfying, and the overall meal was incredibly enjoyable. It’s a great place to come with family or friends, especially if everyone wants to share different dishes and enjoy a proper seafood feast. Overall, Marina Seafood House is definitely worth visiting for crab lovers! 🦀❤️ The Chilli Crab and Black Pepper Crab were the highlights of our meal, and I would happily come back again to enjoy them.

We are a group of 12 people, we reserved a table at the river, beautiful view. We ordered Chilli crab and salted egg crab. The price is slightly higher than Jumbo but the size of crab is a lot bigger. Very fresh crab, the meat was so tight. We also ordered the other dishes, such as fish, vegetable, fried noodle, chicken, they all very yummy to us. Great service and friendly staff.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Marina Seafood House at Boat Quay, and it was one of the best seafood experiences I’ve had in Singapore. From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with genuine smiles and outstanding hospitality, making us feel comfortable and well looked after throughout our meal. The highlight of our dinner was definitely the Singapore Chilli Crab. The crab was incredibly fresh, sweet, and meaty, while the chilli sauce had the perfect balance of sweetness, spice, and rich flavour. Every bite was unforgettable, and dipping the mantou into the delicious sauce made the meal even more enjoyable. We also ordered the lobster, and it was cooked to perfection. The meat was tender, juicy, and naturally sweet, showing the excellent quality and freshness of the seafood. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented, generously portioned, and prepared with great attention to detail. The quality of the food truly stands out. You can tell that Marina Seafood House uses fresh, premium ingredients, and every dish is cooked with care. From the seafood to the side dishes, everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. What impressed us even more was the exceptional service. The staff were friendly, attentive, professional, and always ready to recommend dishes or make sure we had everything we needed. Their warm hospitality made the entire dining experience even more memorable. The riverside location at Boat Quay creates a wonderful atmosphere, especially in the evening. Enjoying delicious seafood while overlooking the Singapore River is a fantastic experience for families, friends, tourists, or anyone celebrating a special occasion. If you’re looking for the best place in Singapore to enjoy premium crab, fresh lobster, and top-quality seafood with excellent service, I highly recommend Marina Seafood House. It’s a restaurant I’ll definitely return to, and I can’t wait to try more of their signature dishes. Thank you to the entire team for an amazing dining experience. Highly recommended ❤️❤️❤️
