Unique Seafood PJ23 (23 奇怪海鲜酒家)

One of the standout dishes was the salted egg crab. The crab meat was very tender and fresh, and the salted egg flavour paired really well without being too overpowering. The braised seafood noodles were also very satisfying, with good noodle texture and generous ingredients that definitely fill you up. We initially wanted the roast chicken but it was sold out, so we opted for the smoked chicken instead, which turned out pretty good. The two-tone kailan is something worth ordering. You get crispy deep-fried leaves together with steamed kailan stems, so you enjoy both crunch and freshness in one dish. The deep-fried squid was well done, and the ginger scallion stir-fried snails were quite delicious too. One slight letdown was the 烤鱼 grilled red snapper. The dish itself is usually very nice, especially when paired with Malaysian chilli sambal and fresh onions. Unfortunately, the fish was overcooked this time, and the meat turned out very tough, almost chicken-like in texture. It felt like a wasted good fish. That aside, this place is still a usual go-to spot for many locals around PJ and Selangor for fresh seafood. Overall, a solid dinner with more hits than misses, and still worth coming back for their seafood dishes. We made a reservation for a private room that comfortably fits around 10 people. The private dining experience was great, staff were very efficient with refilling tea, topping up condiments, and changing to fresh plates throughout the meal. The service really stood out and made the whole dinner much more enjoyable. As a bonus, the private room also comes with karaoke, which added to the fun and made it perfect for group gatherings or celebrations.

A rather upscale live seafood place with huge selection and cooking styles. Price is slightly steeper given the type of seafood available (live fish, Alaska king crab, shellfish, etc.) Place is very popular and quite crowded especially during weekends or festive periods so make sure to have a reservation. Parking is difficult to find with paid valet available. Chili crab sauce was well done with light spice and heat paired with sweetness from the chili sauce. This was the perfect combination with the (handmade?) mantou (bread) that was crispy on the outside and light and fluffy inside. The venison was well done with no gamey taste and good texture. Chewy without being tough or hard. The flavours were well matched with the spring onions and ginger without being masked by the sauces. The seafood fried rice is a must have. The clams and prawns were absolutely delicious and soft. Although the portion was a little small (only 3 small bowls from the plate). The salted egg prawns were very fresh and sweet. The seafood preparation was really good as none of the dishes were overcooked. Will definitely return to try some of the other dishes.

Unique Seafood Restaurant continues to be one of those places that never fails when you want fresh and satisfying seafood. The geoduck sashimi was the highlight for me. It was crisp, sweet, and sliced perfectly thin, the kind of freshness you can immediately taste. The butter curry crab was also very good, rich and fragrant without being too heavy, and the sauce was something you will want to mop up completely. What really sets this place apart is their service. The staff are so attentive and thoughtful. They do not just serve you the food and walk off. They actually help peel the prawns and deshell the crabs for you, and they do it with such speed and skill that you almost feel pampered. It is such a small gesture but it makes the whole dining experience so much more enjoyable. You can enjoy every bite without worrying about messy hands or ruining your manicure. For people like me who love seafood but do not love the hassle, this is a dream come true. Overall, the combination of fresh seafood, flavourful dishes, and genuine service makes this restaurant worth visiting. It is a great place for gatherings, celebrations, or simply when you want to enjoy seafood without the stress of handling shells. I will definitely return.

- Restaurant looks grant but smell fishy the moment walking in. - Truffle fried rice has no truffle smell. You need to breathe hard just to get a hint of it. The prawns are big and fresh but cannot hide the fact that the fried rice is dry. It doesnt even match Din Tai Fung’s golden fried rice. RM60—overpriced. - Waiters are just standing and walking beside you within your eye sight, within 50cm and look at you eating and can’t wait to fill your cup. -The pan-fried dumplings are chewy both inside and out, with none of the crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside texture. 香煎锅包里外都糯。没有外酥里嫩的口感。 three tiny pieces Rm16. Ultra overpriced. - The waitress who writes order are friendly and give us good suggestion in ordering. - The Chinese tea is super hot like you use 1000 Celsius of water to boil it. We spent 30% eating and 70% time drinking the tea. It’s giving the vibe of “you finish your food you go, don’t spend too much time drinking tea and playing mahjong”. * Note: When food is described as overpriced above, it does not mean it is expensive. It means the texture and level of deliciousness do not match the price and cannot stand at the same level as comparable dishes in other places.

Had a fantastic fresh seafood dinner here! While the steamed fish initially missed the mark, the manager immediately changed a new perfectly prepared fresh fish. You must try the fried rice; it’s exceptionally good and full of wok hei. Overall, a great atmosphere paired with delicious food.

Unique Seafood PJ23 lived up to its name! The atmosphere is great, and the sight of all the live seafood tanks (like the King Crab we saw!) confirms the freshness. We had a fantastic meal. The Mantis Prawn was perfectly cooked, and the BBQ Sotong had a wonderful smoky char. The Kepah with Superior Soup was soothing and flavorful. Loved the Kai Lan prepared in two styles, and the Fried Rice with Anchovies and Salted Fish was the perfect comfort dish to finish. A must-visit for seafood lovers in KL!

Fast and friendly service, we celebrated a mile stone here with a yum cha and some pipis rice noodles and yam basket with chicken and dried chillies. The yum cha was pretty standard, fresh and steaming hot when it came out. Items are done to order, no wandering carts. The pipi rice noodle dish was tasty and smooth, could have been improved with the addition of some vegetables in the dish. All in all it was a good lunch!!!

Loved the food here! Every dish was fresh, and perfectly cooked. The fried rice with Anchovies & Salted Fish had the perfect texture, with just the right amount of crisp anchovies for that addictive crunch. The sotong was tender and perfectly seasoned too. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy yet lively — perfect for a seafood feast. Will definitely be back for more seafood goodness!

This is a seafood restaurant that emphasis on freshness. You will see the stacking aquariums in the restaurant with live fishes, crabs, lobsters, prawn and shells. So you will have to choose the seafoods that you want, they will weighted for the price charges and cook according to your preference. During my parent's friend visit in Malaysia, I got a chance to try the spider crab that cost around RM500++. The spider crab is huge, so we make it into two dishes- crab soup and fried crab with chili and garlic. Its taste sweet from the freshness of the crab and the meat are so firm and chewy. I personally prefer the chili and garlic flavor more as it's aromatic with the garlic taste and spicy. We also ordered Sea Garoupa, as it's fresh so the staff recommended to steamed it. Although the cooking method is really simple but no doubt, the staff said it right. It's delicious! There's wine shop here, my family like to have seafoods together with some white wine. But if you don't like it, you may also order Chinese tea or fruit juice here. Overall environment and foods meet our satisfaction.
