Not only crab, you can eat fresh lapulapu sashimi as well here. It was my second time to visit. Huge lapulapu sashimi was awsome and plus took away the soup which is called maewoontang (spicy fish sopu) also great, yummy. Calamari - we added one more! Friendly staff and convinient area in the cebu city.

Excellent dining experience. The place pleasantly atmospheric and tables are divided with sections for privacy. You can really find the alimango crabs are fresh because they're alive and in a tank right at the hallway. Surprisingly they have more dish than just crabs. Sashimi is excellently cut and presented. The octupus was definitely my favorite aside from the salmon with a hint of wasabi. My favorite dish for tonight other than the chili sauce crab was the tiger prawn shrimp and the sauce. I would recommend it paired with the garlic rice and just smother it with the sauce itself. Plus pair it with beer and you're good to go. Heavenly. A very fine dining restaurant with friendly staff and accommodating owner. The staff will also help you break down the crabs, so it's convenient for first timers or beginners. Overall this is one of the best dining place I had in Cebu. This restaurant was closed during pandemic and now making a comeback in Mandaue. I would recommend this for tourist and locals to try it.

If you're using Grab, it's called Monster Crab still, so probably renamed. Food was great, definitely get the special set menu which is available for a larger group or just 2-3 people. Only down side is the price which is a bit much for the amount. Service was top notch. They have a few private rooms which we were lucky to get since they have AC.
