" Had a lovely meal at Crab Hot Lau! The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was very attentive. I loved the square crab spring rolls, but I wasn't a fan of the crab hot pot. I found it slightly bland and hoped for more flavor. Overall, I would recommend it for the spring rolls alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Crab Hot Lau is a fantastic spot for crab lovers! The food is superb, with vibrant flavors in every dish. The square crab spring rolls are a must, perfectly crispy with generous fillings.
