"Buttered seafood is a little bit overpriced. 595 php for a few slices of calamares, mussels, shrimps, potato and corn. But it tastes good specially for me who loves garlic. Pork sinigang and Oyster fried rice are also great."

"The Red Crab in Tomas Morato did not disappoint! The crab with Szechuan sauce was incredibly fresh and flavorful—definitely a must-try. Despite our late-night visit, the staff remained welcoming and attentive, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be back!"

"My FRIENDS loved it and my Partner as well. . They have a lot of varieties, even the resto name says Red Crab, the menu didnt just stop there. The variety is from seafood to meat and chicken which I approved as I'm very allergic to seafood. A little pricey buy 2-3 person can share in one so it's fine."

"So the oyster sisig was overly seasoned, the bangus, lechon and kangkong were nothing special, the mussels were overcooked and dry, but the clam soup was enjoyable and generous with the clams. But I came for the crab and for the nth time in my life, their crab marites Just. Does. Not. Disappoint."
