Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Marina BBQ Seafood, located within Satay By The Bay, appears to be a mixed bag, with recent reviews suggesting a decline in food quality compared to previous years.

While some patrons have had positive experiences with specific dishes like vegetables or receiving good service recovery (e.g., a complimentary medium portion of lala beehoon after a minor issue), consistent complaints about blandness, watery sauces, and unappetizing presentation are common.

The Hokkien Mee, in particular, receives criticism for its texture and lack of flavour.

There are also strong warnings about overpriced and un-fresh seafood, specifically a $80 crab described as dead and mushy.

Service, however, is generally described as friendly and efficient.

We'd recommend approaching with caution, perhaps sticking to simpler vegetable dishes or being prepared for inconsistency.

It seems to be a convenient option if you're already at Satay By The Bay, but not a destination for a quality seafood meal.

What customers say

Marina BBQ Seafood receives mixed reviews, with some customers appreciating the staff's responsiveness to issues, like offering compensation for a hair found in lala beehoon.

However, consistent complaints highlight declining food quality, with dishes like Hokkien Mee and chili crab described as unappetizing, bland, or not fresh.

Service is also a recurring concern, with staff sometimes perceived as disinterested, contributing to an overall disappointing experience for many.

Overpriced, terrible food that is not fresh!!! $80 for a tiny crab which they said weighted 600-700g. Nevermind it’s overpriced, crab is dead and not fresh with very soft mushy meat. Worst chili crab…
