Dancing Crab (VivoCity)

Food is amazing! Loved the zesty garlic butter sauce. You can customize your own combo (choose whichever seafood you want, and as much as you want). For our appetizer, we got the beer battered maitake mushrooms. They were good and serving is big. Then for our other mains: we ordered the lobster roll, shrimp & clam combo, crab fried rice. The lobster roll was good too, but a bit pricey for what it is. The crab fried rice was so good, went so well with the sauce of our seafood! Service is good. Staff are very friendly and attentive.

Love love loved their chili crab! It is served on top of the sauce and in a sour dough bread bowl! You tear off a piece of the bread and just dip it into the sauce and it was chef’s kiss. We also got the seafood boil in white sauce to share but you definitely need to go here for the chili crab!

Came here for a birthday celebration, and it was not bad. I would say that there isn't a consistent service level among all the staff, but it is still acceptable. For those who have not tried Cajun style seafood, you can give it a try. Overall, the seafood is fresh and serves pipping hot, and the atmosphere is good and relaxing.

Celebrated my brother's birthday here. Came here for the crabs, so can't expect to save on the bill for a table of 8. Food is fresh and nicely done. Complimentary brownies were served in a crab decorated tray, and birthday song sang. Memorable experience.

We came here for an anniversary celebration. Ordered the black pepper crab and the chilli crab w bread sets, and a side of fried calamari. Food: Black pepper crab was great, on the spicier side. Chilli crab tastes unique, has a bit of western influence in the spices. Bread was crispy at the top and paired well with the chilli crab sauce. Unfortunately, the aircon might have been too strong and our food got cold pretty quickly as we're eating the crab 😅 Service: staff were warm and hospitable, and assisted with the membership application for more discounts. They also assisted with a birthday celebration for another table. Wash basins available. Atmosphere: we came in the evening, and there were disco lights as fixtures. Pop music in the background. Overall, it has a festive/clubby vibe. Price: similar with high end seafood restaurants. Overall, it is a fun place to eat and would recommend for friends and colleagues, though may be a tad loud for those who prefer quieter dining.

Dancing Crab Restaurant: - Delicious Food: The 3 lunch sets ordered were flavorful and satisfying, showcasing the restaurant's culinary expertise. - Variety of Options: The lunch sets offered a range of dishes, providing a comprehensive taste experience. - Slow Service: The service was a bit slow, which might be a drawback for diners in a hurry. - Not Crowded: The restaurant was not crowded, which could be a plus for those seeking a quiet and peaceful dining experience. - Potential for Improvement: With a bit of improvement in service speed, Dancing Crab Restaurant could become an even more attractive option for seafood enthusiasts. Overall, Dancing Crab Restaurant offers tasty food, but may benefit from refining its service to match the quality of its cuisine.

Ambience good. Sea view dining in aircon condition. Crabs are fresh. Gravy very tasty. Love the chilli crab bowl and garlic butter crab.

Visited the restaurant last Saturday for my sister’s Birthday Celebration🎂 Everything was Tip-Top especially services! Ordered a Seafood Combo with Buttermilk sauce🧈 was unexpectedly delicious! Heard that their Spicy Sauce🌶️ is their signature dish but me myself can’t take spicy so yeah, you should probably order it when you visit. Their Deep Fried Calamari🐙 is way tasty than others, very crispy! Seafoods in the combo meal were very fresh too especially the prawns🦐 & crabs🦀 Service wise is literally on par🌟 Very friendly & patient of explaining menus to us📖 They actually arranged a special Birthday Dance for my sis as well! The vibes & the staffs energies really gave my sis an unforgettable birthday🫶🏼 Appreciate it🫡 A big shoutout to JAYDEN who served our table with his professionalism & can see he’s the tallest guy among the team🧑🏻‍💼With good face too😌 Anyway, very recommended yall to have a meal in this restaurant. Is good to come for a lunch where you can see the sea view, very nice🌊

This place is located on the top floor of Vivocity. Its a crab place where they serve your food on a plastic table cloth and you eat right off it. Not my favorite style but oh well. We came in late so got the lobster roll and crab cake. The lobster roll was tasty, but had far too less lobster to the amount of bread. The crab cakes were too oily. The truffle fries though were pretty good. Overall not the best value for money.

Dancing Crab is a good option for weekday lunch with specials on many Cajun seafood staples. Bright and airy restaurant located at the top of Vivocity. My hands down favorite is the crab garden salad. Generous serving of crab with fresh greens and hazelnuts + almonds for textural contrast. All brought together with a sweet and creamy dressing that brings the whole salad together. Not sure if it's still on the menu but the shrimp etoufee is really tasty with rich shrimp flavor. We got the last serving of the jambalaya which meant it was dry since it was the bottom of the pot. However, that was something that the staff proactively pointed out and offered a cup of gumbo on the house to compensate. Love the proactive service! I would say that service here is better than most places and testament to quality associatediiii with the Tung Lok group.

Dancing Crab, a Cajun Seafood restaurant, is brought to us by the Tung Lok Group, which at first might be a bit surprising. Yet, Cajun food is spicy and Cajun seafood can be (or rather is best) eaten with one's hands. That is a great description of Chili Crab and other Singaporean seafood favourites. So in retrospect it makes perfect sense that they're started this concept here. The lunch menu here is great value, but seafood by weight seems very expensive. So bear that in mind before coming here. We had a Vivocity-only lunch set with coleslaw, crab noodles, fizzy lemonade and prawns. The star of the show was 5 prawns in mild signature style. Although it was "mild" it turned out to be a pretty spicy tomato sauce with corn, carrot, potato and sausage inside. The prawns were super fresh (possibly live) and great. The crab noodles were very tasty. That said they seemed more Chinese style (slippery thin yellow noodles coated with flavourful oil and some crab meat on top). The coleslaw was very good: tangy, crispy and milky. It was most refreshing and cut the heat of the food. The fizzy lemonade was normal. It wasn't sweet and I couldn't tell it was fizzy. The lavender lemonade was interesting and sweeter too. Oddly it was pink even though lavender is blue. The jambalaya (lunch menu item) was not bad. It was a touch less wet than it was supposed to be but was tasty enough and had a fair bit of ingredients inside. Dessert was beignets aka county fair style fried dough. The crumb was not quite light enough and was a bit inconsistent with some beignets fluffier than others. Other than that they were pretty good and they tasted like they were supposed to, and were dusted with light icing sugar. Thoughtfully, the branches have sinks in them, so you don't need to go all that far to clean up after massacring a bag of seafood.

This location seem hard to find, is at Tue corner that u have to try very hard to locate. Tue food was great, maybe the location is hard to find, the business was very slow, lucky they can still keep the seafood fresh. One star deducted because only one non spicy sauce you can choose from n the rest are all spicy which may not be suitable if you have children dine in.

Fresh hot spicy seafood in a bag, eaten off the table with clean hands hopefully. Somehow everything taste better when eating with hands, and more so if it's eaten off tables. Naturally, they will charge you arm and leg for that privilege. Fresh. A sri lankan crab, 300gram prawns, 250g clams, corn, potatoes, sausages all precooked and soaked in cajun sauce spicy Louisiana style. Just the way I like it. Black pepper rice is pretty decent and it tastes like something all kids will love.

Note: to be fair, I didn't eat any of crabs, prawn, mussels or any from their seafood bags. I went to the boiler -louisiana food and beer the night before and forswore not to eat another seafood in a bag till my stomach digested whatever was thrown in. I was still burping clams when I entered dancing crabs.. So this review is based on their lobster rolls, fries, and uhm.. Other surprises ........................... What greets you before you head into dancing crabs? Live crabs of course!! Oh dearie me. Don't look at them and walk on. Lobster rolls for 29.90! Gasps.. So expensive but is it worth it? The bread was fried like a mantou but not as silky as one would preferred.. Lobster amount was okkkkkaaaay and we tasted more of the mayo rather than the lobster.. Cajun fries was a leeeeetle spicy but shoe string.... But the atmosphere is great.. You get to eat with all the messiness.. No one will judge you once you don the apron. And that's what counts. Ask for the table downstairs so you can see sentosa and the sea as you eat your prawns, though I reckon your eyes will be on the food rather than the view. Service for food is fast but chaotic.. Not bad. And nice service.. They make mistakes but they try to rectify it as much as they can so win for them!!

A decent and not-that-expensive lobster roll! Well you know how expensive lobster rolls can be so at 29.90 this one is fair. It doesn't have that much lobster but it tastes very good and the little bit of coleslaw at the bottom was a surprising nice touch. The bread is CORRECT. Buttery and fluffy the way it should be. Fries not too bad- shoestring and they come in normal, truffle oil or spicy cajun (no extra charge!).

I recently ate at the VivoCity outlet for the first time. My meal was fine (fried rice with crab), the service about average. However, we were surprised to be issued plastic tableware in a sit-down restaurant that is not overpriced but certainly not cheap. Perhaps the restaurant is going for a picnic-like vibe, or it is due to Covid measures, but eating decent food with plastic utensils affects the taste and is a definite setback to the environment. They should rethink their usage of plastic utensils in 2020 and customers should call them out on their unnecessary reliance on plastic.

I like the crabs, and that's all. Limited dining time just enough for finish the food. Eating everything on disposable tablecloth with really hard-to-use plastic spoon and fork. Not sure if there's any other restaurant at the same price level would do so.

We had a birthday celebration here unexpectedly when our car broke down at Vivocity, and the food was surprisingly good (get the Dungeness crab!). Better yet, the atmosphere was great! The staff brought out the cake in this super cute crab platter and sang for my dad. Would come back again!
