The chilly crabs and lobsters was well cooked to international standard. The steam fish was good and oysters was unique. The best kangkong that I have, was not over cooked and still leave a bit of crunch to the stem. Although it is pricy, it...was worth a try.More

This place was recommended by Arjun a friend and tour guide helper. He showed us the way by driving us there. The ambience of the place is gd. The food order arrived a bit late. But service was not bad.

We ordered more than 60 minutes and we kept asking the waiter serval times and her supervisor and just giving us this yellow smile while thd food dishes going around us. I encourage you to check other branches and to ensure following your order every...5 minutes. Very poor service, despite good foodMore

for all the native Surabayans.. this place is quite legendary. I must say the taste though was slightly changing, I prefer the old rustic flavors not so millennial ones. This place is considered the most famous seafood restaurant in East side of Surabaya. They have...plenty of fish tanks full of live seafood so you can handpick your own sea creatures before they served it on your dining table. I love the grilled prawns the most, they have this big tiger prawns (wild guess, sorry not a seafood expert). But they got so many varieties and sauces for seafood to your liking. Beware of the crazy lunch and dinner time, this place was super packed and car parking could be challenging. My family and colleagues love this place because they got big tables and also the service is pretty fast. Not so children friendly, I assume. Unless it's a big toddlers or so.More

Very recommended seafood restaurant in Surabaya. Try the Crab with Padang Sauce. This is the best ever food that I've ever try. I suggest you to make reservation first because the restaurant was very busy. The price was value of money. There were two branches...in Surabaya ( east and west Surabaya ). This is one of the must visit restaurant when I go to Surabaya.More

Layar Seafood restaurant as known long before, it is best seafood restaurant in town. Fresh seafood, you can choose from live aquarium either from the frozen basket, good menu, reasonable price. Spacious place. You may visit in big group either small group ever personal. Open...for lunch and dinner. Also they provide valet for your car because the parking space not really big there.More

Taken to this very busy restaurant by a friend from Surabaya. We spent the first 20 minutes choosing our food from a variety of tanks located at the front of the restaurant. Shellfish, fish, crabs, mantis prawns, Morton bay bugs, lobsters and prawns were all...on offer and we tried an impressive selection. Seated in the main downstairs restaurant you can see why the place is done popular with the locals who come in big groups. Everything we ate was very delicious but be prepared to get your hands dirty as you crack open crab claws, pull apart prawns and scoop out the perfectly cooked spicy flesh. I loved seeing the mantis shrimp stored in the plastic bottles to stop them from damaging each other. Perfect example of Indonesian recycling. Thanks Rudy.More

Recommended seafood place in Surabaya. Try Jumbo Crab with onion sauce and grill fish, best one! Ask the waiter about their speciality and tell your choice of seafood. Price is reasonable. Service is good, many waiters to serve. Almost full house especially dinner. Big resto...with ground and first floor (smoking area). Parking area behind the resto/road side or use Valet serviceMore
