Here’s our quick review of the newly-opened restaurant:
The Ambiance
Located conveniently nearby the Abu Dhabi Bus Station at Defense Road opposite Al Wahda Mall, Red Crab Seafood Grill and Restaurant is mere steps away from the capital’s central transport hub. Upon entering, diners will get to marvel at the lovely murals painted on the walls depicting different kinds of delicious seafood available at the menu. The restaurant’s well-trained and courteous staff are also more than happy to assist and recommend their specialties that suit the taste of each diner.
The Food
Red Crab Seafood Grill and Restaurant offers a wide variety of Filipino ‘paluto’ viands, as well as their signature dishes – but what makes them unique from the other restaurants that offer seafood is that diners can really taste the freshness of the sea as if it the seafood was just caught and prepared immediately.
Marine Feast. Diners can easily select from a fiesta of flavors that complement the seafood well, with mixes of shrimps, mussels, crabs, and more. Their Red Crab Specialty Sauce rightfully earns the moniker and title of the restaurant as its flagship sauce that diners would never tire of tasting. Their special Curry sauce offers a Filipino version of the usual curry flavor that’s more savory and cheesy, instead of spicy. The team also had a taste of their soon-to-be launched Oyster Cajun sauce that’s perfect for diners searching for that kick of spiciness in their meals.
Party People. Craving for grilled seafood? Red Crab Seafood Grill and Restaurant’s specialty grilled offerings gives you that fresh taste of the much-beloved ‘ihaw-ihaw’ experience with a selection of mussels, shrimps, crabs, bangus, corn, vegetables with a side of Kilawing Isda that takes you back to the beaches of the Philippines. Each seafood entry is grilled to perfection and paired with their special soy sauce that heightens the taste of the seafood.
Szechuan Crab. A taste made for seafood lovers from China, Red Crab Seafood Grill and Restaurant’s Szechuan Crab banks on the mildly spicy sauce known from China’s Szechuan region while not overpowering the fresh taste from within each piece of crab.
Lobster Teriyaki. Diners can likewise select a lobster straight from the aquarium of Red Crab Seafood Grill and Restaurant to prepare for their meal. The restaurant’s version of the Lobster Teriyaki has the fresh, steamed chunky Lobster meat topped with their signature Teriyaki sauce. The mixture of sweet and savory flavors meld deliciously within your mouth as you grab another handful of rice for a satisfying meal.
