   First time dining at Crab Hot Lau and it was delicious! Service was excellent - very friendly, attentive and helpful. Enjoyed the rice field crab hot pot, crab spring rolls & black pepper beef with rice.

   Crab Hot Lau offers a unique take on seafood hot pots, with fresh crab and flavorful broth, but it’s not your typical Vietnamese spot. If you’re looking for something different from the usual, it’s a good option for a hearty, shared meal.

   We’ve been there a few times and I noticed this time the food portion was smaller than before. We went on a Wednesday night and they were busy as usual, we had to wait for each dish to come out after we finished one. I felt sorry for the waiters/waitresses as there were only three of them serving the whole restaurant and some tables even ordered hotpot. We had to ask to refill our water, otherwise food tasted as good as before.

    After seeing the #1 ranking for Crab Hot Lau, I was excited to try it. However, when we walked in it felt like a night club with the music blaring from the huge speakers only a few feet away from the reserved table we were offered. We waited for another table which thankfully was away from the “dance floor”. My friend ordered the grilled lemongrass chicken while I had the rare beef noodle in soup. Maybe we ordered the wrong things but these were just ok and not mind blowing as I thought we’d experience given the #1 ranking!
