Crab Hot Lau
I feel like I tried basically everything on their menu. I just got back from Vietnam a few months ago and was craving all the delicious food I ate that you can’t find at your typical pho restaurant. Crab Hot Lau had all the northern vietnam offerings!!! We got delicious crab spring rolls, my favourite bun cha, a yummy crab soup, and banh cuon which was also amazing! I think we ordered way too much for 2 people, but I wanted to try everything! I was so satisfied after all this delicious food.

Crab square Spring rolls were so good. You see the layers - prawn, crab meat and mince pork. Delicately fried, no greasy after taste. Goes nicely with the fish sauce and pickle carrot/daikon.The crab noodle soup was tasty with the crab broth. They give you lots of vegetables, go lightly and add to the soup carefully.

The food at this place was incredible. We ordered the pate bread sticks, the crab square spring rolls and the crab soup noodles. Will definitely be back for dinner to try the crab hot pot that they have on their dinner menu. The only negative is that this place is on the pricier side but at least they give you quality and generous portions.

We went and ordered 3 dishes and the restaurant was near empty but it took a while for the food to come. Saw the guy out from the kitchen using bare hand arrange" our food after touching his phone. The food was okay but because of the arrangement I would give it 3 stars. The restaurant is clean and nice but the food was so so."

Finally tried out crab hot Lau on Kingsway! It does get pretty busy but managed to snag a spot for two. Food takes a loooong time. We ordered the A6 and it was the highlight! Delicious square crab spring roll, crispy and light with dipping sauce - 2 pieces cut into 4 ($19). Well portioned for the price and we could see and taste the crab.I ordered the #1 since it’s their most popular item but I just found it “okay”. I didn’t think the flavors of the ingredients went well together, like the dill fish cake with the crab roe. Well portioned for price!

I love their crab spring roll. Sooooo crispy and packed full of crab and flavour. The hot pot was very pricey but enough for suggested serving if you order other items. Overall great flavours and unique experience

One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants at the moment. Fresh ingredients. The square crab spring roll is delicious! Packed with stuffing inside. Deep fried just right. Not overly greasy and very tasty. The lemongrass pork with vermicelli comes deconstructed but everything was fresh and tasty. I wasn't overly thirsty afterwards too! Will try the hot pot next time I go. Friendly hostess!

Had dinner at Crab Hot Lau and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Food was delicious, very tasty and filling. We ordered the crab dish, crab based soup and the rice roll with meat inside (forgot to take a pic). For dessert we had Mango bingsoo it was soooo good, perfect way to end the meal!

My friends and I searched online and found this special Vietnamese restaurant that was highly rated, so we decided to give it a try.We ordered three dishes to share. They were a crab hot pot for one person, glutinous sticky rice with mung been, pork floss, fried shallots, and Vietnamese ham and an appetizer (A4 - Fresh vegetables, pork belly and pork skin. Wrap it yourself with rice paper). We did not enjoy any of the dishes unfortunately. The appetizer was very dry even though we could dip the rice paper into the fish sauce. We couldn’t taste the crab broth in the crab hot pot. The crab hot pot came with some sauce with crab cream/sauce but the crab hot pot didn’t give us a crab flavour at all. We felt disappointed about this dish. The sticky rice with mung been, pork floss, fried shallots and Vietnamese ham was a bit better among the three dishes.We might probably order the wrong dishes. But we did not enjoy the three dishes at all. We could have gone to better Vietnamese restaurants in the same neighbourhood. I gave three stars because the service was good. Servers paid attention to us and provided what we needed.There is street parking right in front of the restaurant on Kingsway. People can also park on the small streets in the residential area.

The food is fine but service is unacceptable. It was a super long wait (-40 mins) for the hotpot, while the forgetful waitress keep browsing around and not carrying the order we asked for. The restaurant was just 2/3 of capacity but they did not pay attention to the need of customers, even when we asked to replace the gas we had to asked for 3 times until we got it and replace by ourselves.
