Our take: Mellben Seafood consistently draws crowds for its classic Singaporean seafood dishes, particularly the Claypot Crab Bee Hoon Soup.
Reviewers frequently highlight the rich, comforting broth of the bee hoon, which many consider a must-order.
The Creamy Butter Crab and Black Pepper Crab also receive high praise for their balanced flavours and generous portions.
While the food quality is consistently lauded, be prepared for a wait, especially on weekends, with walk-in queues often exceeding an hour.
The restaurant operates in an old-school, non-air-conditioned HDB setting, which adds to its local charm but might not suit everyone.
Prices are on the higher side, but many find the quality justifies the cost.
We recommend making a reservation to avoid long waits, especially if you're planning a weekend visit.
It's a reliable spot for traditional seafood, particularly if you're a fan of crab dishes.

What customers say
Mellben Seafood consistently receives high praise for its signature dishes like the Claypot Beehoon Soup and Creamy Butter Crab, which customers find rich and flavorful.
While the food quality is generally considered top-notch and service efficient, patrons frequently note the expensive pricing and potential for long wait times, especially for walk-ins on weekends.
Some traditional dishes like salted egg pork ribs occasionally receive mixed reviews regarding meat texture.
