nothing like a day out with family at the beach and a seafood dinner to boot. Haven't been to jumbo for quite a while, it's always massively crowded, no kidding.

The good part about it though is the air conditioned area is less in demand than the al fresco and we were glad for air con comfort.

Ordered my usual favourite mee goreng.
no more scallops in mee goreng now.

As usual, every bit licking good. Told them to go easy on the oil earlier and glad that they really did take note of it.

We also had a large serving of scallops in yam rings, boiled prawns that were very sweet and done so simply it was great on its own or with a dipping sauce of dark soy and chilli. We ended the meal with individual servings of mango puddings.

I like to patronize the seafood restaurants at east coast for good and reliable seafood. While we order lots of seafood dishes we also have to get some vegetable dishes to get out fix of greens. We ordered sambal kang kong which was pretty decent. The vegetable dish was sufficiently tasty and spicy without being overwhelming. However it was very oily and the vegetables were covered in lots of chilli oil.

Jumbo is famous for its seafood dishes but their meat dishes are actually pretty good too. We had the honey pork ribs in a large portion for 12 to share and found it really tasty. The pork rib pieces were boneless so they were super easy to eat. They were sweet and savoury at the same time making for an interesting taste. One thing to note here is that it is alot more worth it to get the large portions of different dishes cause the small ones is really very small.

Prices are more skewed to the high side here but the food here is really yummy and delicious! The pincer of the crab meat is so hugeeee. The fried buns are yummy and goes well with the chilli crab gravy. I love the chilli crab sauce here!

I have not tried the other types of seafood but I will do so the next time I go there. Their kangkong is good too but not spicy enough in my opinion!

Went for dinner recently with my family of 4 for a birthday celebration, we ordered several dishes to share including iconic chilli crab. Chilli crab was good, especially with mantous to soak up the delicious sauce! Another dish we enjoyed thoroughly was the crispy fried baby squids, extremely tasty and crunchy! However we found that the portion sizes seems to have been reduced since the last time we were there, which is why we found the place slightly pricey.

The place was packed by 7pm , with majority of them non-locals and tourists. The bill came up to $500+ for a table of 9. We ordered food like seafood noodles, chilli crab with buns, steam fish, stir fried venison, baby kailan, baby squid, deep fried fish cake, fish otah, coconuts, cereal prawns. I thought the food was very average though the fish was huge at 1.2kg. Dish serving speed can be improved as our dishes were served staggered and not few dishes a time. So by the time the last few dishes came, everyone was full already

All the three seafood dishes (fried crab with shallot and ginger, steamed bamboo clam with garlic and vermicelli, boiled prawns) were fresh and delicious!
We also had vegetable, beer and tea. It just came to a modest $144 for the three of us. Great value!
We were also very impressed by the service. The waitress, Ding Pan, was very pleasant and helpful in taking and following up on our order.
All in all, a very enjoyable experience.

you can not don't eat chilli crab when you are already at Jumbo sea Food. Every time I go East Coast, Jumbo Sea food has been always my first choice for dinner. The sea view made the food even nicer to eat. The crab meat is so tender yet it's shell is very hard. You have to use the shell cracker to open but it was very fun using bare hand and with your friends around chat chit, you wouldn't feel boring at all. It's best if you would like to eat with these crispy outside yet soft inside bread. To me, just this would make me feel pretty full already! you can order rice to eat with the sauce and crab if it's not enough!
I really enjoy having Sea Food at East Coast as I like to eat food outdoor :> {The wind there is pretty strong so bring a rubber band to tie yr hair up if it's long and get action!}

Bon Appetite~!

While I like the seaside locale of the restaurant, I'm not a fan of the extremely cramped configuration of the dining tables. I suppose it's a profit-driven ploy to maximise business with whatever space they have, but I could hear everything the tables surrounding us were saying!

We ordered:

1) Ginger and Onion Fish Fillet ($14) - The fish is sliced thickly, smooth and soft in texture, and slightly coated in a delicate savoury spring onion and ginger-tinged oyster sauce

2) Beef Fillet with Pepper Sauce ($9 each fillet, minimum of 2 pieces). The grilled beef was flavoursome enough on its own, tender to the bite and had a smoky charred edge. No need for the straight-out-of-a-can-tasting pepper gravy

3) Mixed Mushrooms with Beancurd ($14) was nice as a normal cze char fare, even if it wasn't the most refined dish. The beancurd tasted refried, as the crisp skin was a tad chewy. That said, the shimeiji and enoki mushrooms provided a luxe element to the starchy oyster sauce gravy

4) Black Pepper Sri Lankan King Crab ($42 per kg) - MUST-TRY here, the crabs are always sweet, meaty and fleshy, with a coating of fiery peppery sauce to complement the sweetness of the crustacean

this is one of the way to eat fresh prawns

which is the herbal soup type.. freshy taste and light

if you love tofu.. this is one of the must try.. fried tofu.. soft and tasty.. with those mushrooms and sauce..and a few broccoli, healthy definitely ~!

lastly.. scallop deep fried wrapped with yam ring~

i love scallop~! this is not overcooked.. hence still able to feel the texture of the scallop~!

I went for a gathering with a goup of friends to jumbo seafood. Since there were quite a few of us, we ordered quite a lot of food. Their sambal kang kong, chilli crab, black pepper crab, fried you tiao, claypot beancurd. It was simply delicious. the sambal kang kong was one of the nicest I have tried. The stem of the kang kong is very crunchy. The sambal is not too spicy and not too sweet. the crabs are the juiciest and freshest I have tasted. Love their sauce, so tasty.

Long heard of jumbo
went there with my mum & sister
We ordered quite about 4-5dishes
& total damaged - $200+ +
Their peking duck was great
The skin is very crispy & meat is juicy & tender
we ordered the whole duck,but can't finish so we take away
& they never charge us any extra charges
Nice ambience but abit noisy
overall i rate 8/10

Looking for quality seafoods? Jumbo seafood is definitely one of your best choice. The environment is cosy and spacious, which you can choose to sit indoor or outdoor. Many live seafoods are found here and the chefs will usually use the live seafoods to cook your dishes, which make their seafoods so tasty and juicy! This restaurant is usually quite crowded so is always best to call for early reservation. My verdict: 7/10

Jumbo Seafood, is a well-known brand name here in Singapore and is renown for its delicious chilli crab and seafood dishes!

As a family outing, we decided to have dinner at Jumbo Seafood East Coast.We ordered the famous chilli crab which i loved! The gravy was awesome, and had just the right amount of spice for me. It was a perfect combination when dipped with the crispy golden fried buns. Yum!We also ordered the Salted Egg Yolk Prawns which was pretty expensive, but also pretty damn good in taste as well! The prawns were fresh (although small) and tasted great with the salted egg combination.

Overall, an awesome meal! Was really satisfied with the food here. Do remember to ask for discount at the counter (& pretend to walk away if they don't) before letting them lead you to your seats! They'll usually give u a 10% off for fear you might end up at their competitor's place.
