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.”

“If you’re a fan of massive, meaty crabs, you have to check out this franchise from Sri Lanka! They fly in live crabs and prawns directly from Sri Lanka twice a week, so the freshness is on another level. ​The crabs are huge and packed with meat. We got the Jumbo size, and the claws were literally almost as big as my arm! At only 4,700 THB, it easily fed 4 of us. They offer a huge variety of sauces to choose from, and the prawns are incredibly fresh with rich, creamy roe The chef and staffs are very friendly, especially the Restaurant manager who helps us crack the crab😁. Definitely recommend!”

“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.”

“I truly enjoyed my experience at the restaurant. The atmosphere was very pleasant, the service was excellent, and the staff were always welcoming with genuine smiles. The food was absolutely delicious and well prepared. Although the prices are slightly on the higher side, the overall experience is definitely worth it. Highly recommended.”

“I tried asking a few local Thai people about this restaurant, but no one seemed to know it—probably because, at this price range, it’s not a place most people go to regularly. After all, people usually come to Thailand for Thai food. I ordered the jumbo prawns, and the shrimp roe was excellent—rich and paired beautifully with the sauce. If it weren’t for the price, I’d definitely come back more often, at least for special occasions.”
