The Boiler food was awesome. The place was a bit small though and wish there were more variety of crabs. The outside space while waiting for our queue has lotsa sandflies...please do some thing about it.
This was my 3rd visit to The Boiler but it's with another girlfriend. She's happy with the food but as always, the place gets noisy after 8pm as the crowd comes. The place is not very big but cosy for a get-together.
The food is delicious however I think the service needs improvement. There was actually happy hour promo for the beer Blanc at 1 for 1 pint. When we enquired for a jug of Blanc details the staff did not mention that there is blanc promo. We are not aware as I don't see the promo on the menu end up we ordered a jug.
The ambience was good n thumbup to the service. We are quite taken aback when the food arrived in a bag . No cultery to use ( plate, spoon or fork). Use your hand to dig into the bag to find your food treasures. A good busy experience after all . It will be nice if gloves is provided to be less messy. opps now o remember, we forget to wash our hands before digging in.
We ordered the prawns spicy sauce. It tastes real good and the prawns are fresh. Now having 500g of prawns free 500g which is a good deal. The service wise is so so.
Because of the free lobster, it's worth the trip. Quite expensive actually. Food is indeed not bad & rather fresh! Spam fries is only so-so though. Service is marvellous!
Nice ambience with nice food for catching up. Staff are friendly and patience. I love their in-house lemon and the superlicious corn. Great experience but a little ex.
The restaurant is very crowded at night but the busy staff are forever friendly and helpful also putting on a smiley face to attend to our request. The food was great! We had 2 birthdays gal and boy with us and we given free lobster! It was big and we enjoyed the food totally!
The mussels were done just right. Prawns and lobster was as expected, the crab cake was excellent. The ribs and calamari was good but the crayfish was disappointing. Too small than what you get from Louisiana and more than half its weight is a throw away. Sausage was disappointing- I was expecting those juicy ones but these were bland and dry. Mid wings were over fried. Ambience was intriguing and that made up for the crayfish disaster.
Great dining experience and cozy environment. It's my second experience and I love the birthday promotion as previously I didn't had a chance to enjoy it. The food was fresh and succulent.
Fresh seafood. Liked the corn and prawns. Various sauces available. Drinks were available that couldnt be found elsewhere (i think). Will go again if budget permits.
Their signature bomb bag is really fantastic. So are the fish and chips! Only wish it's not so crowded so we can sit longer...service is not very consistent but the food makes up for it.
Overall experience is good, Pro: Seafood is fresh , service and taste is satisfied. Only drawback is the price is toward high side with the amount of seafood given .
Staff were very helpful in serving us. Food served very quickly, so don't need to worry about waiting time even during peak hours. The seafood is really fresh, especially the lobster. Even the crab shells are easy to crack.
The seafood is fresh. The sauce is great. The environment and location also good. But a bit pricey. Highly recommended. Definitely will go back again.
Food was good as was the service. Location is ok and parking was convenient. Medium for the sauce is probably a bit on the hot side and drowns out the Flavours. Would recommend going with mild. Price was reasonable.
Casual dining experience eating with our hands. Had 2 boiler bags amongst 5 adults. The luncheon fries were the highlight with the kids. Will come again
The food was awesome! Besides the signature seafood in a bag, the starter fish and chips and chicken wings were unexpectedly good too! We enjoyed the meal so much! And the happy hour drinks really worth it! Such a good combination with the seafood!
Very friendly staffs. Delicious food as usual. Will recommend to my friends and family members to go. Best to make booking beforehand as it is crowded even on weekdays.
Overall experience was still good, the service personnel were friendly and helpful. We had ordered a set for 4 people which entitled me to a free lobster in view of my birthday. It was actually more worthwhile if we had ordered a la carte items.
The food is okay, but the price is a bit high. We ordered 2 of Boiler's Bombdiggity Bags as we had 2 birthday ladies, so we received 2 complimentary lobsters (1 lobster for each bag per birthday person). The portion is just nice for 7 of us, with the extra lobsters. I had no idea of the price before I step into the restaurant. The service is prompt and serving is fast. I thought we had to wait longer before getting our food.
Very good service. Staff were friendly and helpful. Environment was nice and quaint. Food was nice and the amount of food is very value for money. Overall a pretty good experience.
Nice environment, nice food, waitress is friendly , a pretty good place for family and friends gatherings , enjoy our dinner there, thumbs up !!!
It's the second time back to the boiler after many months, it's was good to see that the food was as good as the first time round! Will be back again!
Food was generally good and the new dish Crispy soft shell crab pasta with Tom Yam sauce was delicious. The only gripe I have was that they serve warm water in a disposable (transparent) plastic cup without handle. As the plastic cup was probably not designed to withstand heat, the plastic cup became soft and handling was a little challenging. It would be better to serve warm water in a proper glass or china cup with handle.
My second time to The Boiler this month. Once again, got a terrific meal. Fresh prwans and the butter garlic sauce are highly recommended! Do also add on the fried buns to dip the sauces with.
The staff were attentive to our needs tho it was a full house that night and also gave us recommendations. Overall, a great dining experience. We see ourselves coming back very soon!
food was awesome! music and service are average though. a must go for seafood lovers! a 5 to 7min walk from tai seng mrt for those taking public transport.
nice environment. good service and food. price was ok but alcohol was expensive. their signature sauce and garlic butter was good. may return again depending if i am around the area
Advice patrons to make reservations before popping by as all patrons made reservations and the restaurant was full house on a Tuesday night. Food was okay, just bad air ventilation hence clothes a tainted with smell of food. Limited choice of alcohol too.
Great service. Food is good too. Not forgetting the free lobster for birthday month. Located at a place with ample parking. Reserve to get your seats.
Good food! We have a free lobster as my wife's birthday is in June. Service is good. Personally, I think the Bombdigitty bag portion should be bigger as it's for 4 person. Overall Great!
Good service & great food . However we were led to a wrong table (seated ) for 6 instead of 2 . Which made in quite inconvinient to shift again . Good vibes about the place though
The crab with works sauce is perfect and I like the way to eat the crab without cutlery!!! The staff is friendly and the environment is great!!
The food is nice and the service is ok. You will get a free big lobster when you present your IC for the birthday month.
Great food, great service and nice ambience. Had the mild sauce and garlic butter which was both a hit! Spent approximately $96 for two ladies.
Enjoyable dinner and friendly staff. Very fresh seafood though pork ribs were rather tough. Could expand dinner menu to cater for those who don't eat seafood like 1 of my boys. Include lunch's pasta would be nice.
have awesome service got friendly staff spacious to held more customers the food are nice affordable price for most of the menu accessible which is just around the corner
A great place for all seafood lovers with reasonable price!
Ambience ok, food good. Only thing is that we were not able to finish all the food so we asked to pack them. When ask to make it hot then pack, we were told that the restaurant doesn't make the food hot? But hmm, this is a restaurant ...no?
