JUMBO Seafood - Riverside Point: Reviews & Ratings
Prices for the Chili Crab were wild! But food was actually very good. There were three of us and we split Chili crab, half garlic chicken, some greens, rice, and buns. Everything tasted good. Food came out quickly. Service was good! We were also "walk ins" and did not have a reservation. We were told wait would be 30-40 mins but got our table within 10 mins. Definitely worth checking out for the chili crab alone but be prepared to pay a lot!
Food was amazing. Chili crab was the best. A little pricey and service is lackluster.
Chili Crab....A must try dish. It tastes soooooooo amazingly good. The sauce is perfectly blended and tastes soooo smooth. For 2 pp, we ordered Chilli Crab (awarded winning), Chinese vegetable and a shaved ice mango dessert. That is so perfect.
Always go back and forth between this spot and Red House. I think they both have their charms and draw. I think Red House seems less touristy but is definitely 2X expensive. So maybe Jumbo if you're on a "budget" This location is on the water so if you're patient wait for outdoor seating. Nothing like eating a delicious crab with a cold beer on the warm banks of Singapore. We were lucky to go once with a local... who ordered coffee pork - apart from crab, this is one dish to try! So delicious Chili pepper crab, black pepper crab, bread. Try all of these! One crab per person is a good measure so bring a couple of friends to try variety!
Worth the wait if you're willing to fork out major dough.. Ordered 2 crabs, 2 coconut water, 1 side of veggies, 1 bowl of rice, 4 pieces of bread for $300 Considering chili crab is everywhere and if you trek it outside of the busy spots there are places you can get chili crab for about $45 not $80 but the sauce was pretty good. We waited for 1 hour and 45 minutes for a table for 2 around 6pm so try to get there earlier or later.
