Really yummy seafood boil! We ordered the “Are you chubby” meal for 2 people with cajun sauce and two cups of rice and it was enough! Delicious sauce, yummy meat.. only muscles were too small. And price is reasonable. I would recommend it! Chubby CrabPH – Where Seafood Dreams Come True! If you’re in the Philippines and love seafood, Chubby CrabPH needs to be on your list! As a family born in the Philippines but raised in the Bay Area, California, we were on a mission for comfort food that hit home—and wow, did we find it. The Spam Fries disappeared in seconds. The kids loved them so much we had to order more (pretty sure they would’ve eaten just that if we let them). The shrimp and crab were insanely good—so good, in fact, that we willingly became their personal shell-peeling service. Worth it. We also devoured crispy pata, oysters, noodles, pork liempo, and the spicy crab & shrimp family meal. The real MVP? The vinegar was so good we basically sipped it like tea. And don’t even get us started on the crispy pata sauce—it was next-level addictive. By the end, we were so full we went straight for the Tiger Balm massage next door, leaving us both satisfied and officially chubby. Bottom line: If you love seafood and crispy pata, Chubby CrabPH is a must. Just be ready to fight your kids for the Spam Fries! Crab served seems to be not fresh and it is overpriced. Usually, when I have seafood boil I would wait a bit before I start working on the crabs. When I did, I realized that the crab is cold but it was too late to have it fixed. Even the table beside us complained about their crab being cold. When that table complained, kuya that was on our floor asked the cook and when he came back, told that table that it is fresh and it just got cold due to the air conditioning. That table didn’t escalate the issue further and just went on to finish their food. I can guarantee that the cook was not being honest because there is no way that the crab would’ve been colder than the room that quick. Having tried seafood boil in US and Canada, I find this one to be way overpriced. The portion is very underwhelming and very limited options for the boil. To be fair the food is very tasteful and si kuya na nagseserve sa amin was very nice and helpful.

I’ve visited Chubby Crab Boracay twice and while I enjoyed the overall experience, there were a few issues. I ordered a bucket that was supposed to include Manila clams, but unfortunately, they were not available during both visits. They offered to replace them with shrimp, but it seemed the substitution wasn’t always consistent. The service is superb — the staff and owner are friendly and attentive, making you feel welcomed. The food is good, and the atmosphere is pleasant. The only downside is the location, which is a bit far from the main hotels and busy areas. If you're willing to make the trip, it’s worth it for the good food and friendly service.
