4.8 / 5.0(6,267 reviews)

Excellent cuisine, great service! It’s my first time at The Boiler, and I can see why it’s so well-reviewed. Amazing portions, freshness, flavors and price points. Overall, simply a great experience. We loved their garlic butter sauce, and the birthday special of a lobster is so generous. The seafood food in the pack really lured me...had tried garlic butter-> kid loved it especially with the fried Mantou dipped into the saucy sauce. Another bonus is the sausauge given.... fantastic with kid. The lala, mussel, prawn and crab is very fresh, sweetness from the seafood and very well blended with the sauce.... we ordered a bag for 4 but it is just nice for three adult... we added a fish and chip so to dip in the garlic butter sauce. The battered is thin and crisp and the fish is well seasoned. The service is superb as the staff are very attentive to our need like extra apron, refill on lemon tea (bonus-> it's refillable).... Plus point: Birthday month if you order the bomb dignity bag and you get a free lobster... superb fresh and we ordered their signature sauce... it is very flavourful and mild spicy. If you want to sit indoors, please do your reservations. Food was great and the service was excellent. With a full house they still never fail to serve us with great service. Special shout out to Danish who took his time to explain the menu and promotions to me. He was attentive and noticed that it was our first time without even us mentioning. Also made my friend's birthday celebration memorable. Thank you
