Ministry of Crab Bangkok

Pros: • Friendly staff • Crab meat itself was fresh and flavorful. • Garlic bread was very good; we liked it so much that we ordered a second portion. • Clams are must have to try for those who enjoy. Cons: • The crab fried rice was very bland and contained paprika, which was not mentioned on the menu. I have an allergy, so I had to remove it manually in order to eat the dish, and we did not finish the rice. Clear ingredient disclosure would be helpful. • The prawns were overcooked. • The “garlic butter” sauce lacked a noticeable garlic flavor and tasted mostly like oil with chili and spices. • Pricing is high compared to similar seafood restaurants in Bangkok. Conclusion: The total bill for two people was around 200 EUR, including water and two drinks. All prices already included VAT and service fee. While the overall quality is acceptable, the restaurant feels overpriced. In Bangkok, from experience, it’s easy to find seafood places offering comparable crab and prawn dishes at a much better value.

Ministry of Crab Bangkok brings the legendary Sri Lankan crab experience to the city with style and confidence. Specializing in premium mud crabs sourced from Sri Lanka, the restaurant lives up to its reputation for bold flavors and top-tier seafood quality. The crabs are undoubtedly the star—meaty, fresh, and cooked to perfection. Signature preparations like the iconic chili crab showcase deep, complex spices with just the right balance of heat and richness, while letting the natural sweetness of the crab shine through. Portions are generous, and each dish feels indulgent and well thought out.

To be honest, Ministry of Crab feels extremely overpriced for what it offers. While it’s a good addition in places with limited seafood options, it doesn’t stand out in Thailand where excellent seafood spots are everywhere. I tried both crab and seafood dishes here and found them comparable to what local restaurants serve at a fraction of the price. The food quality is good, but it doesn’t justify the premium. The overall experience is fine for a one-time visit, but there are many local seafood places nearby that deliver similar taste and freshness for much better value.

Really a wonderful restaurant. Friendly staff, professional service, and of course delicious crabs. This is not a cheap restaurant and if you want "Bang for your buck", there are better options. But if you want an excellent experience (and Sri Lankan crab), I can think of nothing better.

Always on the to do list, if you love seafood. The staff was courteous and helpful and friendly. We ordered the crabzilla in Sri Lanka curry and some butter garlic prawns. The fresh ingredients and the chefs delectable preparation had us enjoying every morsel. A lovely creme brulee to end with a lovely birthday wishes from the staff. We will be back soon to relish the food.

I had an amazing dining experience at Ministry of Crab Bangkok. The crab was incredibly sweet, fresh, and cooked to perfection. The service was outstanding attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the evening. Both the quality of the food and the level of service truly exceeded my expectations. The pricing is absolutely fair for the exceptional freshness and flavor that they deliver. Overall, it was a perfect balance of taste, quality, and hospitality. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves premium seafood and top-notch service.😍🙏🏻

Friendly helpful amazing staff Food was super. So much better than Singapore and Malaysia outlet. I come here each time in Bangkok The clams with garlic bread is good. Garlic chilli and pepper crabs are good. Kilo crab is great. U can’t tell at first sight what u are paying for. But once u taste it is obvious.

When you first set foot into the restaurant, you know you have walked into somewhere special. Everything is nicely decorated, napkins are folded perfectly. Everything was just nice and prefect. We had the 1kg crab cooked in Singapore chili. It did not disappoint. To be completely honest, I have had crab less than 5 times in my life. Mostly because i see its too much work for very little gain. But this 1kg was different. The meat separated easily and that are so many flavor hitting you all at the same time. The OMG prawn was very good also. I ordered a basket of bread just to soak up the priceless sauce. The cocktail was brilliant as well. Waiting staff came to check in us through out the meal to make sure everything is prefect. What a great dinning experience. Friendly and comfortable. They just do everything perfectly better than all others.
