Venue looks very good and inviting from the outside. The menu is literally the size od the oxford dictionary. They have thai, western, japanese, seefood and even mexican food. I dont really know if this is a plus or not - i personally think that restaurants with a smaller menu tend to have higher quality food but thata me. We sat down at a table and immediately got our menus and when we wanted to order we had to spend quite some time waiting for our waiter (there were 4 other at the front but unfortunately they couldnt serve us for some reason even when called). Some of the food came. Some only did after another long wait. Food quality is definitely good. Nothing special here really. But dor the price i was happy with it.

I'm not sure about the other reviews on here but we had a pretty decent experience at the lucky crab! This may be due to the fact that we were in Phangan at a quiet time but I can't vouch for that. The staff were friendly and attentive and were able to answer all our questions. We ordered the bbq seafood platter to share which was very good and came out in good time. The downside is there wasn't much of an atmosphere but as mentioned this may be due to it being a quiet time. The price was a little higher than we had previously experienced but still not expensive. The platter was 650 baht between us. I would recommend if you're looking for some good bbq seafood on the island.

We walked past The Lucky Crab and seen how busy it was and took this as a good sign. The menu was HUGE like the biggest menu ive seen in my life. We were sat down quickley and our order taken promptly. Drinks were brought and my beer was a little warm. Here is where it got really bad. We waited 40 mins for our order to come and even then only one dish was brought out for our party of 4. 2 of us were given food that didnt match the description of what we ordered and this was after the wrong food had already been brought to our table. My friend had to wait for a further 30 mins for her pitta bread sandwich when there was tables that came in after us getting served before us. The food was average at best and the service was really bad. The toilet was also very dirtt and blocked. Would not return.

As many other reviews state, the menu is ridiculously expansive. They were out of cornflakes so I went for a fruit platter and a coconut mango shake. The fruit was over ripe but OK, the shake was interesting in a 'won't get it again way' but that's personal taste. Very hard to get the attention of the staff. OK if you're desperate otherwise better meals to be had elsewhere.
