One of our favorite places when we are in Boca Raton. Food is always delicious and served at proper temperatures. Service is generally very good, except when the restaurant fills up. View all feedback.
What Sinkaput doesn't like about Chili Crab:
we have dined there many times, this was the busiest the restaurant ever was while we were there. They seemed to be understaffed. Food was not prepared with the same care as normal. it was a Monday , although a holiday, and we are chaulking it up to unusual demand. We will go back again. View all feedback.
I used to live in Singapore. One of the signature dishes in Singapore is the name sake Chili Crabs. It is my favorite dish I have ever had anywhere. So I of course had to try it here. It was very very good. As you can see from the picture, it is very messy to eat. They give you some gloves, but imo they just do not work. My daughter just could not handle the mess of eating them. LOL. I did not even see chili crabs on the menu, but make sure you ask for them. You won't be disappointed.We also had the Pepper Crabs and Duck. Which is a LOT of food (we have two teenagers and we still took home some left overs). The Black Pepper Crab was also good. NOT as good as the Chili Crab, but still very tasty. The duck was also outstanding.I was so enamored with the food, I almost forgot to mention the atmosphere and service. It is very quaint and a fun place. Plus, they constantly checked up on you if you needed anything. The only negative I have, is that it was not cheap. I will say, you get what you pay for.Overall, my summary is that it is very authentic and reminded me of my time in Singapore. We will be back, however probably only ordering the chili crabs and duck.Parking: There is plenty of parking for the size of the restaurant. Depending which way you are coming from, you will have to cross Dixie Highway and the light could back up there. So you may have to wait a minute or two. Not really an issue though.Kid-friendliness: It was a family friendly restaurant. So there should be no issues bringing your kids.
Everything was absolutely perfect. I'm talking about top end food cooked to
We ordered Duck for 3 people plus an appetizer. In addition a chicken dish and rice dish for my wife. The Duck came out in 5 minutes, the appetizer 15 minutes later followed by the rice 10 minutes later. When we asked about the chicken dish, the waitress came over to explain that they made a mistake because they had an extra Duck in the kitchen and decided to send out to us even though none of the other food was ready . We asked the waitress again about the chicken dish since we were finished with the Duck and my wife still had nothing to eat. The waitress was rude and insulting. It's an expensive restaurant with very poor service.
We were greeted warmly and seated promptly. Boone made sure that our wine came quickly and took our food order as well. Food is fabulous. Appetizers were the pork gyoza and chicken bao. Both delicious and rather tasted similar. Main course was the half Peking duck. The presentation is good with the glossy and crispy skin prominent. Very enjoyable evening/
