Nice place, delicious dish, enough varieties. Price is a bit high, though, especially for some special sea food dish.

Layar since beginning is my reference to have good seafood, my latest visit during X-Mas last year and found out they're moving into new location (not far from previous one). More larger space, looks luxury and brighter. My fave among the menu are Crab with...the shrimp with salted egg coated and steam fish, but many others also good. Choice of sambal / chili sauce is free flow available for you to match with the dishes and your appetite. Will always comeback here for good seafood together with family or friends.More

I came here for a reunion with some old friends after 10 years living apart. We had a good time in this luxury, spacious and comfy sea food restaurant. And we found that every single dish we ordered was delicious and satisfying. The serving time...was also pretty quick, considering the place was fully booked that night. The most delicious dishes (to my taste) were crabs with salted egg sauce, spicy grilled fish and crispy fried prawn.More

Always dine in here when in Surabaya. The selection of seafood is awesome! They have almost everything... Tried both 2 branches in Surabaya. The resto is clean and cozy. The service also so quick. It is suggested that you make reservation first and pre-order menu...is recommended.More

Loved everything here. The food was (always) great, from grilled squid to steamed fish, was super delicious. Crab, prawn, and any kinds of exotic fish could be found in the aquarium. You can choose the size (and price) yourself, and the chef would turn them...into super yummy cooking. Also, I love the semi-outdoor seating. Very comfy, especially when you visit in the afternoon.More

I have visited Layar Seafood at Dukuh Pakis , Surabaya, surprisedly, it was different look with the photo library in TripAdvisor. Layar Seafood is A beautiful Restaurant outside and inside , with a friendly staff. I ordered Singapore Chili Crab, Grill Bali Calm and Smoke...Pakis with Shrimp. The taste is pretty strong with sweet and salty that cant make you eat without steam rice. Why Is The Fresh Crab meat tasted in a normal temperature degree not tasted hot whether it has cooked already ? Delicious enough and the price is fair. I came as a walk in guest , and choose the smoking room with a beautiful view whether I am not a smoker and have a tolerance with that. My second surprise was suddenly a crowd of 7 people came into the dinning smoking room table and smoke together in there, beside my table, they were talking, laughing and calling as if nobody guest in there. It would be really appreciated if the Layar Seafood could make a real smoking room to accommodate the smoker.More

The restaurant has been newly renovated and it is beautiful. The ambiance is really nice, perfect for family dinner. The food is good, worth the price. The service could be better, though. We had made a reservation and we got there, our table wasn't ready....The staff wasn't quick enough to come up with a solution for our group and we were let standing while they figured things out. Not until I got angry, did they offer their apologies and solution for us.More

We had dinner here with our colleagues and ordered various seafoods, such as oysters, shrimps, mantises, crabs, fish skins and squids, plus veggies. We finished them all because they were all extraordinary, not only the sauces and the spices that came with them, but also...the quality of the seafoods themselves; they tasted fresh to me. This Layar outlet was big, clean, bright and well designed. I strongly recommend all seafood lovers to dine in here. You will not be disappointed.More

Such a wide range of choice of seafood, and even each dish has a small medium or large fish / crab / shirmp selection. Good service, they listen carefully. Very nicely prepared, and served in good time.

We went after reading the reviews and was not disappointed. Service was good even though, no one spoke any English. Very helpful staff as the manager helped me to 'Grab' transport back to the hotel. They had live seafood and the seafood per gram (ONS...in Indonesian). We had the following:- Jumbo Crab 6ONS at 42500/ONS and it worked out to be 255,000IDR Garoupa Fish 5.2ONS at 29000/ONS equals 150,000IDR Squid Baked at 62,500IDR Jambu Juice at 17.500IDR Sprite at 10,000IDR 2 plates of rice at 12,000IDR They gave one piece of Mantau together with the crab. And charged 9,500IDR for 2 extra pieces of mantau. Overall it was pretty cheap.More
