Fatty Crab Reviews

A restaurant where even Malays and Indians would go to eat. How could it not taste good?

Crab : missing crab head/shell
Fried rice : tasteless
Satay : sublet stall, no rempah taste
Chicken wing : ok, can be better
Toast : can make urself at home

Great for eating as locals eat. Prepare to eat with your hands.

So yummy..no regrets eating here..everything is delicious ..price is affordable ..

Was shocked by the price of the fried rice!!! Food is only so so. Not worth it.

The crab is average-tasting for me, and its VERY pricey (more than RM250 for a plate). I had better chili crab experience (one of it at a restaurant along jalan Yap Kwan Seng... can google it up). And the garlic prawn is definitely overpriced; a plate costs RM50.

Be prepared to pay, should you proceed to try. Will visit, if someone pays for my meal. Otherwise, this will one-time experience for me.

It is famous for more than a decade......the line up is tremendous long to make you as hungry bear

We have been here since twenty years ago and every month we will have lunch here. It is best in Malaysia.

The sauce...is...to die for. Order the house speciality crab and bread. Your life will never be the same.

For those who like sweet and sour crab, this is the place. Fried rice and chicken wings not bad too. Never tried the satay but should be good since they've been there for many decades.

When I first ate it, it was fishy, so it was a little difficult to eat, but it was uncomfortable. But during the trip, I thought about it again and ate it again on the last day before returning home and it was so delicious. I can't forget it yet.

Food was fantastic. The crab sauce was very unique n spicy.

Although lacking in choice, what they have to offer are the best I've ever eaten. Crab. Fried rice. Chicken wings. Satay. Order all these and you won't regret.

Tasty food in a simple setting but prices are steep and service non existent.

I love this place since 30 years it been alwyas awesome. Keep it up. Cheers

Favourite family restaurant for eating crabs through the years.

Don't come here when you are hungry, very long lines. You have to line up to order with your full group and after you get a table the waiting continues.... but the wait was worth it. Crabs were fresh and meaty.

Exciting food
Worth the 30 mins queue even at 9pm

Overpriced overrated overcrowded. Just not worth the time, effort and energy. Service aunty will never smile nor try to be nice to you.

Food is good. Love how they cooked the crabs, the sauce is fantastic with the white bread toast, that's two thumbs up.

Fried rice is good, but the chicken wing and non steam crab is a little too much

Some believe it's the BEST Crab specialist restaurant... That's over-rated! Food quality is inconsistent - depending on the mood of the kitchen crew, most of the time! Crab at RM100/kg, you would expect much higher consistency in quality control. If you want to impress with price, probably. Fried Chicken Wings & Satay are the only redeeming grace.

The food is good, the queue is long but it won't wait too long. . .

Ordered fried rice, chicken wings, and crabs all very good

Crab is quite tasty and fresh. The restaurant is very busy but they serve the crab quite fast. The service is rather poor. The staff recommended satay to us didn't even know the stall didn't open. We waited for the satay and reminded her of our order and were not told until we settled the bill. Personally find it overrated for the price and the wait.

A very nice food, many people coming amd its so crowded.. Wow..

Better come here around 5:30pm and start queuing and you could get a table within 20 mins. Great sweet and sour crab, fried rice is awesome. Steam prawn looks good should though I ve never tried it yet. The BBQ chicken wing smells strong spice and great too.

This shop is absolutely nice until the customer queue before the shop open, recommended go early if you plan to come here.

The service not good.
Very rude
Adjust the table slightly also cannot smh

Seriously this place is overrated.
Food used to be excellent. Well to be fair like all the great eateries joints in and around KL and PJ the standard dropped over the years. One can't really get what it used to be. The crowd is too big to handle.
Be here early say 5 to 530 or else you got to queue.

They don't have much on the menu, but what they do have, they do well. The satay and chicken wings are from other vendors, but you can order them as part of your meal. The dishes they serve are crab (spicy or steamed), prawns and fish (only 1 variation of each). No vegies! So make sure you get lots of cucumber from the satay man!

Service is tip top.. But gravy will charge rm5 per bowl if u want extra.. What?

You need to q but dont worry it wont be long! The crab was so fresh and sedap! Must try their ayam goreng also.

Our whole family eats crabs often...
The flavours and special meat quality here is far worse...

Good food but seriously wether it halal or not for muslim

Good place to eat crabs once in a while as its a bit expensive.

Over-rated restaurant. crab tastes so -so only. Not worth the wait .

Best place for crabs and wings, you'll always see a waiting list outside

For some people this place is an institution. Most chilli crab dishes have the signature red sauce. Fatty Crab serves the crab in a special black chilli gravy. We would order extra gravy just so we can dip the toasted bread. And/or eat it with the fried rice. It is that good.

O.G. Chili Crabs, unlike other joints.
An institution for locals and tourists alike.
Other specialities include their famous, moorish Chicken Wings, Steamed White Fish, amazing Butter Prawns.
Pricing is roughly US$15-25/pp.

The chili crab is to go for. Eat with the fried rice so good. Other than that, it also have other food varieties like satay, chicken wings and more..

Old-fashioned stores often need to wait in line. Recommended hot and sour crab, Cistanche fried prawns, grilled chicken wings. Just fried rice tastes like a general. The overall price is fair and worth a try.

Very popular for sea food... Sour spicy crab and steam fish is just great!

One of the best seafood restaurant. You must planning to come to this restaurant. If not you end up queuing. But it's worth to line up. Overalls the food is delicious and of course the crab meal is to die for. Highly recommended...

spicy crab is out of this world.. remember.. this is the only fatty crab in kl.. the others is just a clone..

Air conditioning only in level 2.
Friendly staffs.
Spicy sour crab taste unique.

Price increased a bit but is still the best crab. Yet to find one capable to match!

Fatty crab, a neighbourhood crab palace, lovely food.

Long queue, but fast service. Chicken wing is very good too!

It is very expensive as expected but we didn't expect that literally All food did not taste good at all. Not even the very simple satay sauce. It was our first time, and all 8 of us were puzzled as to why there're people queuing up for this.

The place is clean and tidy plus very systematically organised seatings. The design of the restaurant is simple but classy.
The dishes - butter crabs, black pepper crabs, fried rice, steam fish, fried vegetables are tasty as ingredients are fresh.
The services are efficient and waiters and waitresses are friendly and polite.
Worth to give it a try. You don't lose anything.
The price is value for money at PJ.
Long queue...

The food is good. Crab and shrimp are tasty. The price is low. Overall is very good

Simply the best! Must-try! Hope that the ingredients are healthy and less preservatives. Brace for a long queue. We had around 20-30 people in front of us. Operating hours from 5pm onwards. Its closed on Mondays, if im not mistaken

Even before we are seated,we can see Cockroaches running around the table and around the dishes while the workers are stepping on the cockroaches as their way of pest control and that's the sign to get out

Terrible Overrated! + Expensive
But this is the only "Famous" restaurant around the area that serve Crab so people have no other alternative ....
Foods = 2 / 10 +
Ridiculous Expensive ( 1KG of Crab almost RM100)
