Unique Seafood PJ23 (23 奇怪海鲜酒家)

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!

I’ve visited Unique Seafood PJ23 twice now, and each time the experience was memorable. We tried a range of seafood—crabs, various fishes, abalone—and every dish impressed with its freshness and authentic flavors. The food consistently tasted great. Plus, the service was prompt, the seating comfortable, and dessert was a pleasant, refreshing touch. The only slight inconvenience? It’s not the most accessible spot without a car or a Grab ride.

Excellent seafood dining spot! The place is very clean, comfortable, and nicely air-conditioned. The food was fresh and delicious, and the staff were friendly without being pushy. Service was truly outstanding! Love the salt & pepper Canadian oyster and salted egg crab. Highly recommend for all occasions.

Despite the name, there’s not much that feels truly unique about Unique Seafood — except for the display of live seafood in clean tanks. The cooking is average, with a light style more suited for large group gatherings than for those craving flavourful seafood. The steamed prawns were fresh (as expected) but overcooked. I liked the BBQ snapper, but it had almost no flavour unless dipped in the sauce — possibly due to poor tank feed. The fresh fruit platter was the only highlight for me.

so many different kind of seafood to choose from! they’ve got some rare ones too. & it tasted very fresh!! their prawns & crabs r the starlights!! highly recommended and the crowd here is huge 😆

their seafood is superb! especially the prawn, so fresh and meat was so tender. service is very good too with a big range of varieties of seafood to choose. highly recommended!

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.
