Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: Kelly Jie Seafood, formerly TPY Mellben, maintains a strong reputation for fresh seafood, particularly their crabs.

Reviews consistently highlight the quality and meatiness of the crabs, with the crab bee hoon soup being a signature.

While the crabs are a definite draw, some diners find the soup itself overly sweet.

Other dishes like black pepper crab and cold fried pork receive positive mentions, though some feel the overall menu can be a little overpriced for what it offers, especially compared to competitors like Jumbo.

The atmosphere can be lively, especially during festive periods like Lunar New Year, with staff like 'Aunty Alice' contributing to an energetic dining experience.

However, the noise level, particularly on the second floor, is a recurring complaint, with echoes making conversations difficult.

Service is generally enthusiastic, though some experiences point to staff upselling and being a bit 'snappy'.

We'd recommend focusing on the crab dishes for the best experience.

Best for groups who appreciate fresh crab and a vibrant, albeit noisy, atmosphere.

What customers say

Kelly Jie Seafood is praised for its fresh and well-prepared seafood, particularly the crabs, with many highlighting the energetic and impressive 'louhei' performance by Aunty Alice and the team during festive seasons.

While some find the unique handmade sauces and food presentation impressive, others note that some dishes, like the crab bee hoon soup and bamboo clams, can be underwhelming or overly sweet.

There are also mentions of staff upselling and a noisy dining environment, especially on the second level, which can detract from the experience, with some finding it overpriced compared to competitors.

Went for seafood today and the chilli crab was seriously next level. The sauce was thick, rich, sweet-spicy and damn shiok — every bite just hits differently. Even the mantou was so good dipped into t…

Finally got to experience their popular crab bee hoon soup! Crab meat was okay, not like super juicy and sweet that you’d expect. We also ordered Black stout Pork ribs, quite meaty and yummy. Hei Chok…

The only "good" thing was how fresh and meaty the crabs were. I highly recommend ordering based on personal knowledge of your own portion sizes, as the staff kept trying to recommend "more" or bigger…
