Our take: Melben Seafood Restaurant at Cluny Court, nestled within the Botanic Gardens, offers a more accessible location for some, but it appears to be a mixed bag compared to its Ang Mo Kio counterpart.
We see consistent praise for the signature Claypot Crab with Noodles, with some reviewers highlighting its deliciousness and value compared to other seafood chains.
The prawn paste fried chicken also receives high marks for its batter and succulent meat.
However, we note recurring concerns about portion sizes and pricing, particularly for vegetables and smaller crabs.
Some patrons felt the $15 vegetable dishes and $88 small crab were overpriced, with one reviewer specifically mentioning a dish being mostly bean sprouts and mushrooms.
Service quality also seems inconsistent, with reports of staff being inattentive or not clarifying promotional details.
While the food quality, especially for signature items, is generally well-regarded, the value proposition and service experience at this branch appear to be areas of contention.
We'd recommend managing expectations regarding portion sizes and being prepared to clarify any promotional offers.
Best for those prioritising the signature crab dishes over a full, value-driven meal.
