Ordered for delivery - the duo set that comes with crab, mussels, clams, prawns, sausages, corn cob and buns. Spicy level I chose Medium (2). The flavor is really awesome, I like! Seafood is fresh and juicy, very enjoyable! Spiciness is acceptable, the aftertaste heat with flavourful cajun & butter. I just wish there are more corn and sausages, and, personally prefer potatoes to deep fried buns. The sparkling sake definitely complements the dish and it’s $28 for two bottles, well worth it! Will definitely patronize again!

Had a great family dinner here! I made a reservation beforehand, so getting seated was smooth and hassle-free. The food arrived surprisingly fast, and the seafood quality was excellent. We ordered the Garlic Butter Bombdiggity Bag and the Sampling Platter — both were delicious. The seafood was fresh and well-cooked, and the batter was light and crispy without feeling too heavy. My husband also tried the baby back ribs, and for a seafood restaurant, the ribs were honestly really good too. Overall, a very enjoyable meal with quick service and solid food. Would definitely come back again!

Service & quality of food were awesome! First visit to this branch and everything exceeded the expectation. Got the seafood bag - those pearl corns were my fav😋 Medium spicy & added ala carte crab XL with other flavor (garlic butter). Cajun fries - Good enough on its own! Else dip it with the seafood bag sauce.

The rave reviews are well-deserved! Already planned our next meal here 💕 Every dish ordered was delicious. We had: 1. Bombdiggity Bag (we picked Garlic Butter) Served with right out of the bag, the large crab, prawns, mussels, etc. were fresh, delicious, and cooked just right. The crab and prawns were sweet and tasty- I enjoyed them so much, I hardly noticed the effort it took to crack / peel the shells, which was caught me by surprise! 2. Truffle Lobster Mee Pok A must-try premium take on our local favourite! The truffle was clearly present without overpowering the lobster and mee pok. Mee Pok was served al-dente, to the delight of my friends. The lobster portion was generous (see for yourself from the picture). The noodles seeped in the delicate sauce soaked up the flavour and landed on my preferred softer texture by the time I enjoyed it a little later. Pairing this meal with the crispy squid and the bottomless ice lemon tea was perfect. The crispy squid complemented and completed the textures of the meal, while the acidity of the truly homemade tea enhanced the flavours! Highly recommend this place to celebrate your birthday! Please be sure the reservation mentions / waiter knows this. We were served by the terrific trio- Kris, Jun and Amos. Their hospitality made us feel so at home, we lost track of time, enjoyed our meal till late and had a blast. Can't wait to come back again!

Wonderful dining experience at The Boiler. The food was excellent — everything we ordered was fresh, flavourful, and well prepared. A special shoutout to Amos, who provided outstanding service. He was warm, friendly, and attentive throughout the meal, and gave us many helpful recommendations on what to order. The atmosphere was also great. We visited on a weekday evening, so it was pleasantly quiet with no crowd at all and minimal waiting time. As part of our bag and birthday month promotion, we received a complimentary lobster and a slice of cake. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I would definitely return again! 🦞
