Ministry of Crab Bangkok

I had a wonderful experience at the Ministry of Crab. The ambiance was stylish yet relaxed, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. The food truly lived up to the hype—fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The crab dishes were the clear highlight, cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. It's a great spot for seafood lovers looking for something special. I would definitely recommend it and would love to come back again!

A truly unmissable restaurant in Bangkok. They serve incredibly fresh crab dishes flown in from Sri Lanka, with recipes unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before—absolutely unforgettable. It’s hands down the best premium luxury seafood I’ve had in my life. The staff’s service was flawless, and every detail—from the music to the interior—made me feel genuinely happy. I’m sincerely rooting for this brand with all my heart!

I had dinner at Ministry of Crab a few days ago and as usual it never disappoints. I’ve been here multiple times, every time I travel to Bangkok, I make it a must to visit this place for dinner. Do yourself a favour and try it at least once. Thanks again for your hospitality and amazing food!

I’m glad to be here at Ministry of Crab Bangkok. The crab was just as fresh as promised and advertised. I first had an amazing experience at their original branch in 🇱🇰Colombo many years ago and now again in 🇹🇭Bangkok. It was a pleasure to meet Executive Chef Harsha, a super friendly and passionate Sri Lankan chef who still carries the same warm hospitality and culinary excellence. 😀👍🏻 I began with the prawn bisque, a comforting and flavourful start which made from Sri Lanka’s famous freshwater prawn and infused with a bold mix of spices. The rich broth, paired with traditional wood-fired Kade bread, was the perfect warm-up for the main act. Then came the highlight, my pre-ordered XL-size chilled crab. Served without gravy in its purest form, the freshness and natural sweetness of the crab truly stood out. No distractions and just premium crab, perfectly cooked and chilled. What followed was not just a meal, but a 3Hrs crab “postmortem” session. With precision and patience, I dissected claw by claw, leg by leg, shell by shell, determined to extract every last bite of the sweet, delicate meat. It became a culinary ritual, combining both skill and appreciation. A true crab lover’s experience.😋👍🏻🦀 Throughout the entire session, Mr. Bill and his team delivered impeccable service, never rushing, always attentive and fully supportive of my slow-paced seafood indulgence. Dining here isn’t just about eating, it’s about celebrating the art of crab. I’m already looking forward to coming back for the next round.

We visited this restaurant several times and every time we have very good experience. The crab and prawns are delicious and service is good. Every time, we order at least the OMG size crab which is excellent. This time we met the crabzilla which is really marvelous! The Manager is very nice and kind. Really enjoy to dine in this restaurant.

Good place! But the review comes with an asterisk that I didn’t have namesake crab. I did have the crab kaprow and a large prawn. I would Defenitly want to review it again having more food. However from what I ate I really did enjoy it. The crab dish was plentiful and flavorful and the prawn was big and chunky. You can only wish lobsters tasted this good in the states. The chili garlic sauce matched well with the shellfish and was delicious to soak up on its own with the bread. I will certainly go back on a return trip. No complaints!

The liver pate was amazing. The colossal crab stood up to its name. The olive oil was mild and just right with spices. Will be back to try the other sauces. And yes you should have the bread with all your crab dishes. Its just right. The staff are amazing and very helpful in suggesting. Thank you

This is one of the signature places a crab lover must visit for an upmarket experience. A variety of crabs to choose from (local Thai, Sri Lankan, etc) and close to a dozen different types of sauces to pick from. I had personally gone for black pepper Sri Lankan crab for a thick succulent bite. If you do not want to get your hands dirty, the staff here can help you to deshell (depending on the volume of customers at that time), so eating the meat without having to wrestle the carapace is an elevated experience for me. I recommend the Krapow Crab as well, a very humble portion that whets your appetite as you wait. Great service here, great ambience, you'll love it.
