Seafood by the River 滨海湾渔村

I recently dined at this seafood restaurant by the river, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The service was genuinely great—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Their dim sum is definitely my favorite; fresh, flavorful, and easily the highlight of the meal. The river view added a relaxing and scenic backdrop, making the whole visit feel extra special. It’s a perfect spot for gatherings with family or friends. Highly recommend!

There was a great variety of seafood to choose from. We decided to get the Alaskan King Crab with chili sauce. They showed us the crab we would be having, explained the pricing clearly, and recommended the best flavor to try. Everything went smoothly from ordering to serving the food. The staff were attentive and organized, making the whole experience enjoyable. It was truly a delightful dinner with fresh and flavorful seafood.

The food was fresh, and the Singapore chili crab was very flavorful. They also have bamboo clams and a variety of local dishes. I highly recommend trying the chili crab with mantao, garlic butter prawns, seafood fried rice, and Singapore satay as appetizers. Their yuzu honey mocktail was very refreshing. The staff were attentive to our needs, and the service was excellent. Definitely a recommended place for local food at reasonable prices.

We tried some of Singapore’s favorite dishes at Seafood by the River at 45 Boat Quay, including chili crab, black pepper crab, cereal prawn, and kailan vegetables. All the food was fresh and absolutely delicious. The crabs were flavorful and perfectly cooked, the cereal prawn was fragrant and crispy, and the kailan was fresh and well-prepared. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience by the river. Highly recommended!

We ate at Seafood by the River located on Boat Quay, Singapore. We began with a couple of Tiger beers. We ordered several of their specials: the Singapore Streetfood Tasting Platter, the Salted Egg Slipper Lobster plate and the Salted Egg Calamari. We also ordered Fried Rice with shrimp. First to come were the Salted Egg Calamari. These were delicious. They were in a light batter, cooked perfectly and came with a slightly spicy dipping sauce. The calamari were succulent and tasty, and the sauce enhanced the flavor. The fried rice arrived in short order, replete with several whole shrimp on top. The rice was fluffy and tasty. Next, they served the Salted Egg Slipper Lobsters. They were about the size of Langostinos, split length wise. These were tasty, but not as good as the Salted Egg Calamari. Lastly the Singapore Streetfood Tasting Platter arrived. It was nicely plated with a lobster head and body filled with cold lobster, a variety of small pieces of fruit and what looked like large roe. The roe was in fact a small sphere filled with a very lightly citrus flavored liquid in a soft gelatin ball. The lobster was good and the balls fun with a nice flavor bump to the lobster. Also on the platter were more calamari, fish balls, spring rolls, fish or crab rolls, deep fried crab cakes. There was also a dipping sauce. Overall, we felt the Singapore Streetfood Tasting Platter while good, was not anything special and probably not worth the price. The service was extremely attentive and if anything, a bit too hovering throughout the meal. Value wise I did not feel this was competitive with other similar restaurants, and did not like the fact that the Slipper Lobster was up charged from what was stated in the menu, nor the additional charge for the two “Wet Tissues” that were placed on the table when we ordered.
