    Everytime we check into our hotel nearby, we have to have at least dinner at Harry’s. Food is always scrumptious, mud crab or not. We’ve always had the mud crab before. This time, we opted for something different. We had the Chicken Wonton Soup, the King Prawn Harry’s Garlic and Butter, the Garlic Sauce Mixed Veg, the Classic Harry’s Fried Rice, and the Harry’s Fried Ice Cream Caramel, everything to share with hubby. Everything was sooo yummy! As always, service was fantastic and never disapppoints. They were all smiling and friendly. The owner (son of the late Harry), was always very pleasant to talk to. Warm in welcoming and still very nice as we leave. I hope he will always be around. One note, though, there should be better heating indoors. Will definitely be back again.

    Don't take a bottle of wine as they charge a 15 dollar corkage by bottle. Real rip off. The crab was ok but not worth 360 dollars. I won't be going back.

    The main attraction are the mud crabs. Market fresh @ $168/kg on the day we went - expensive but if you love crabs, it was worth every cent. The Singapore Style Chilli Crabs were authentic and simply delicious. Order the “mantou” (fried bread) to soak up the sauce. Other seafood dishes were OK but suggest coming with at least 4 to 6 people to enjoy the crab and order a few other dishes - you won’t be disappointed!

    Food is always excellent. The mud crabs are always to die for. Service was efficient, warm & friendly. One suggestion, though … the place is air conditioned, I think, so maybe they can keep the front door closed. The chain smokers stepping outside for a smoke is a useless exercise because all their disgusting smoke comes back into the restaurant anyway.

    A fun night, delicious crab and very attentive staff. Always a pleasure dining out at Walsh Bay. This is a lovely location. We opted for two variations of the mudcrab - Singapore Chilli and Garlic Butter. Both divine. Sauced mopped up with steam buns.

    Restaurant was much nicer than I expected and quite spacious and service warm and welcoming. We only went for black pepper crab and it was served hot, fresh, spicy and delicious. Also grateful that we could take our own wine.

    The place is quite nice and the server on the floor was very efficient. We got our food quite fast and the food was quite tasty. However, the crabs are cheap. Pls check on the price before ordering coz you're bill can easily be between $170 to $200 for 1 crab

    Food was really good. We ordered the Singapore Chilli Crab / Fried Buns / Chicken Fried Rice. The crab was a bit undercooked in some parts only. Most of the crab was really good and was easy to break into the shell. The rice and buns were good. The gravy of the sweet chilli crab was really nice. Most probably due to Covid, but the service was really slow. We had to ask for Tongs and things like that while These were offered straight away to other customers. The 2 people handling the restaurant were not able to attend to all customers and hence were delayed.

    Very good chilli crab and will come back for that. Other dishes ordered are not that great so agree with some other reviewers that crab is the reason to come here.

    We had delicious peking pork ribs (can not fault these) and pipi's with XO sauce (more noodles with the pipi would be nice). We also ordered singapore chilli crab however it was quite salty and mild/medium was not chilli at all (i would recocommend at least medium). I've ordered this dish from here before and it was great so hopefully just a once off saltiness. Great quick service and polite friendly staff.
