The service was good. Staff were attentive and cheerful. Seafood was fresh and delicious. Must try their coconut pudding. We will come back again soon.
Good food though the price is a little bit high and the location is not so convenient. It is suitable for dining of a big group of people.
We waited half an hour to have one of the three waiters who are ic of food ordering to attend to us. Pretty frustrating. But I guess it's due to the huge crowd on a Sat night. My family's a regular customer of Chin Huat but this was our first time visiting on a Sat night. Despite the long wait to order food, the dishes were delivered to the table really quickly. Food was good as usual!
We went there with 7 of us, 5 adults and 2 teenagers. Great food, great service. enjoyed every minute of it. ordered Alaskan crab, Boston lobster and suckling pig with some other b&p's. Food fit for a king.
Excellent food, very fresh seafood with many choices, very delicious cooking, very nice services and price is very reasonable instead of a tourist trap. I will definitely come back again.
Ordered Live Boston lobster in superior broth. Broth a bit too salty and with MSG. But lobster is fresh I admit. Very meaty. I Just that I hope if the lobster is 2.35kg, don't tell me Computer will round up to 2.4kg and you charge based on 2.4kg.
Service is efficient and prompt. Food served quickly and of fairly good standard. Ordered a 1.5kg crab which cost $100, taste wise was slightly above average.
Very awesome seafood and service! The staff are just too attentive to our needs despite being busy! I will go back again for the golden sauce crabs!
The payment system was down and I had to wait for more than 45mins to pay as they have also mixed up my orders with that of the next table and I had to pay for a more expensive seafood due to their mistake.
Excellent food, nice service and good value for money! I would love to visit it again and again whenever I want to eat crab in Singapore.
Food and services are ok.. I made an reservation at 6pm, when i reached the restaurant, they told me i have to leave by 7.30pm. We ate until very stress as we ordered crabs.
Great food and service . Staffs are very friendly and seafood especially the lobster is extremely fresh . The taste is wonderful when cooked in simple style .
Great experience . Fresh seafood , good service. The pumpkin crabs is really good. Fantastic lovely experience . Though seated outside , weather is cool for the evening. No worries
Awesome Sri Lankan crabs that never lets you down. Always had the golden sauce ones but decided to have the Chili Crabs this time round and was equally good.
Chillie crabs,drunken prawn very fresh and nice. All my guests enjoyed the food we ordered today. Thanks to Chin Huat Live Seafood. Will bring guestd there again.
Great food and pretty good value especially if you go in a big group. BYO wine and liquor which is always a bonus. Would go again!

Appetizer was excellent - tasty and beautifully presented but the main dish was too commonplace. My friends and I had the hokkien mee which was like seafood noodles for us rather than what we traditionally know as hokkien mee.
Nice food, especially the prawns which are very fresh. The dessert coconut pudding is nice too. It will be good if the lunar new year menu can have more dishes.
This is my 2nd visit, ordered diff dishes to try out. I am glad my friends enjoyed the food here. Definitely will be back for more foods....
Crab was good - the reason for a 2. Plates were dirty with soil, dirt and dust. When we asked for a change of plates or tissue paper to clean our plates, we were ignored twice, and on the third time were given extra towels. Subsequently, were surprised to learn that we were charged for it. Then it took a really long time for them to correct our order, needing us to approach the cashier. Overall, service was ineffective - though some people were nice. Another instance was when we ordered tofu, but the order was not keyed.
My 5th time at the restaurant, food is consistently good, though orders may take a while to come due to the many diners there; but they have trained up more servers to take your orders to cut the waiting time
Overpriced. Pushy service to get their expensive seasonal dishes. Overcharged in bill. Please srutinise the bill carefully. How can 8 person be charged for 10person items.
The family's favorite. While their seafood comes really fresh, Chin Huat produces excellent tze char staples as well. Dishes include sambal kang kong, home made tofu, venison and lemon chicken. Moreover, they are reasonably priced between $8-14. Been frequenting this restaurant for more than 5 years and we always leave satisfied :)
Hidden in a residential area is Chin Huat. If you are up for traditional Singapore Chilli Crab, this is the place to go to. Fantastic.
Tip top customer service, staff (Suppose to be the owner) interact with all customer and it does make us feel welcome. Crab is good and the flesh is firm, it kind of scare us off when we saw the menu stated that they could not 100% guaranty that the crab is fleshy even thot we are not the first time visiting chin huat but it still don't give us the confident to order their crab. So far every trip we ordered is good *Cross finger*. I will recommend chin huat over turf club seafood restaurant as chin huat serve more intense taste food .
Good food, nice location, but needs more waiters who can take orders, else there would be a long wait time waiting for someone who can help take the order
Good food. Service was fast and staff friendly and efficient. It was my friend's birthday and they presented us with birthday buns which was a nice touch!
As we did late change for start time they accepted easy The services of shop crew were excellent Dishes ordered black tiger, chili club and lobster all are delicious
food was fantastic. i dined with elderly parents and two young children and all enjoyed the food. the service was also prompt and polite and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience there
Lack of ordering manpower for CNY. Waited for almost 15 after calling for ordering due to only 3 person is able to take order. Services from staff is excellent.
Food was great but had to wait a Long time just to place orders. Was told to wait at least 10 times. Will still go back but not during a festive period!
The services are good and they serve fresh and yummy seafood too. I will surely recommend this restaurant to my friends and will this is my 2nd visit, will visit more.
Food and service were excellent, but the price will on the high side. If cost is not an issue, then this place is highly recommended.
Had a meal there for a staff lunch in the private room. Service and food was good. Enjoyed myself tremendously. Thus, I brought my family there to celebrate mum's birthday but it didn't meet the tastes of some. Standard was still there though. Golden sauce and coconut pudding are must-haves!
food was great, however, did not expect the lobster to be so expensive but perhaps i should have done my homework first. service not as stellar as per normal because of the busy period, but it was alright. made a reservation at 730 about one week in advance, and my table was not ready. someone told our party to wait and disappeared with no answer until about 8pm. however, all in all positive.
Our experience this time was not as pleasant as our previous ones, probably because the restaurant was full to the brim. It took some time for our order to be taken, and the only Yu Sheng offered was abalone which was just really tiny pieces. The other dishes were ok except for the braised pork ribs which is a family favourite. It was unusually tough! We sat indoors and though air-conditioned, the place was warm and we were all perspiring during the meal and couldn't wait for the meal to end!
Staff were very friendly and accommodating. We requested to sit outside since the aircon indoor was too cold and they helped us find a table. Food is great - Pumpkin crab highly recommend!
Have been dining here several times and food has been consistently excellent. The pumpkin crabs are an absolute must-try! Was a little disappointed with the bamboo clams running out during the last visit. But overall it was excellent nonetheless!
Super nice food ! It's good to give treats to guests or gatherings. Better to make reservations as the place is packed by the time we finished dinner.
Very rushed dinner as the restaurant overbooked. We basically had to rush through dinner. So so experience overall.
The golden crabs tonight (30-12-16) seems like not as good as it used to be. The crabs meat is a bit starchy and not firm enough, gravy is a bit too sweet.
Service was good though patchy because of CNY crowd. The food standards were maintained and amazing as always. Prices were slightly inflated during CNY so expect to pay about 30-40% extra during this period.
Good food. Service can be a little better esp in the online reservation part. Should check more regularly. Luckily it was not crowded and so they can accommodate us.
Crab in golden sauce was delicious. Remember to order the mantou to go with the sauce.Steamed prawns were fresh and tasty. Crispy chicken skin was yummy but meat a bit dry. Cozy ambience. Polite staff. Price a bit on the high side but worth it.
Fresh delicious seafood at reasonable price with friendly service. Definitely coming back when I am next in town
Good service, delicious seafood. A hidden corner of the city, good experience to bring your overseas guests. Must try their pumpkin crabs which is not in the menu.
Great food & friendly staff.one more black paper crab pls ...lol
Chilli Crab and bun was superb. :) The Yam Paste dessert was nice too. The only disappointment was getting to know that I could only occupy the indoor table for about one hour if I reserve the table online. So I eventually chose the outdoor seating.
Food and service was great. The crab and cereal prawn was fresh. Definitely worth the price. Would highly recommend to make reservation during sat and sun.
