Holy Crab Bar & Restaurant

Located in the heart of LKF. Perfect for central people after their stressful day.
Once you get in you received warm welcome from the staff, either on a long sharing table or your private table on the side depends on your group size. Beer is half price for happy hour which is a good deal. Then ready to get yourself to the seafood tank to pick your seafood. It’s in seasonable price and its marked on the board. Dungeness crab is the highlight, big fat fruity with their Cajun sauce.
For groups that want to try more variety of their seafood. They do have a all you can eat bottomless package. Which you can order as much as you want including king crab legs, lobsters, tiger prawns, mussels. It’s definitely value of money of you are a seafood lover!
Also don’t forget their cocktails, Bloody Mary with a lobster craw, definitely make your day

The restaurant has a pretty nice set up … The seafood pool as you walk in, bright colours, long tables, a friendly and family vibe. Happy hour from 6−9pm with half price on beer, house wine and house spirits. It was hard to decide what to pick (because we wanted to try everything), but we ended up settling for oysters to start and lobster three ways.
The food was good, but nothing spectacular. All up it cost $ 750 each, which is a little pricey for what it was. The 3 stars reflect the poor value for money.

I could have been wrong but this is one of the only two restaurants that serves Cajun cuisine (from Louisiana) in Hong Kong, the other one being Restoration. I wouldn’t know, cause I never know enough to make comment about Cajun cuisine, but I surely liked the food here.
Located in the heart of LKF, the settings are quite surprisingly spacious. Both the two times I was here I was sitting at the large table, which could comfortably accommodate 12 people each, while it wouldn’t be too close to get awkward with you are sharing the long table with other groups.
The menu is roughly split into three categories, the deep fries, the seafood, and other classic Cajun dishes. The deep fries bucket is madness. Pick your fries, your accompaniment (corn, curly fries, or potato wedges), and your favor, and you are set. Seriously, I could come here just for the deep fried chicken tenders, scallops or soft shell crabs.
The seafood was great too. I tried the (whatever-I’ve-forgotten-the-name) crab, and the crawfish and the king crab legs. They were mental. It’s probably due to the fact that it’s my first time I ever had seafood in a traditional Cajun low country boil technique, but the rich in favor was certainly memorable. If there’s one thing I had to nitpick, that would be the market price of the seafood. It’s understandably pricey, so just like Bistecca, this is not your usual dinner every night, but more for special occasions.
Now off to something really different. Their «nuclear wings challenge» on Wednesday. So the challenge was 12 nuclear wings in 5 minutes. WARNING: the sauce consists of ghost peppers and two other chili I never wanted to remember the names. How many did I have? I had ONE wing, both times. Yes I was silly enough to try the second time. Tears in my eyes and fire in my mouth (and in my pants, the day after). But if you do think that you can eat spicy, you know where to go!
One more thing, but that’s purely personal — I notice that they play Postmodern Jukebox’s music (
) in the background throughout the night. It’s a band primarily covers popular dancing/​clubbing songs in jazz/​swing/​blues arrangements. Perfect match for this restaurant in this neighborhood!

Open since 13-​Feb, the venue was completely empty when I got there (aside from staff of course). The place is spacious and décor was resemblant to a ship deck, with the main dining area lot up by halo-​shaped lights and wok-​shaped lights at the end. There is a tap and sink in the smack middle of the restaurant, which is very considerate; don’t think I’ve seen any other seafood place in HK that would commit precious floor space to customer-​comfort but non-​revenue-​generating furnishings.
The menu is obviously tailored toward groups of four or more, with most portions made large for sharing — true to their ideology of family, friends, good food and great party.
Some like their seafood with white wine, I like mine with beer, especially when it’s hearty and Cajun! It’s a little pity that they only have Carlsberg and three craft beers (Dirty Bastard, Big Wave and Great White).
Be prepared to get your hands dirty digging into the seafood! But fear not for your clothes, for aprons are provided to keep you stain free. The flavors are big and bold and do not disappoint! Seafood is fresh (obviously, they were still swimming in the tank before I picked) and mostly imported. While I think the menu can be expanded to include more options, what they already have is good and a decent base to expand upon. I will be coming back!
P. S. Having said all that, I still think the seaside Chinese restaurants in Sai Kung /​Lamma /​Lei Yu Mun etc give the best seafood experience. This is Hong Kong after all. But for a totally new experience, Holy Crab is the place to go.
