This was not the first time we had crabs or seafood in Singapore but after trying so many different places, we still think the crab that we had at this restaurant is the best we have had so far. We ordered Chili Crab using Australian Snow Crab and the crab turned out to be the most delicious crab that we've... More

Among all the big chili crabs places, No Signboard was my favorite. Emphasis on the "WAS" because I think they deliberately offer the Alaskan Snow crabs without telling you that it is 3x more expensive. Our usual bill in this restaurant is $35-50 per head depending how big the group. Last year, I was entertaining some tourists and suggested the... More

Yes, the crabs - we ordered a lot of them, from chili crabs, black pepper crabs, king crabs; cereal prawns, bamboo clams, sambal fish, plus sambal vegetables. It was delicious alright and a meal worth remembering, but the price was astronomically high, so I guess we will remember it for a long, long time. Good thing it was on company... More

WOW. Our friends took us here when we visited Singapore and what an amazing meal! They asked if we could sit near the window and after eventually begging we were able to sit near the window which was nice as there was only 4 of us and table seats at least 10. Nice for out-of-townees. They ordered mee goreng, lemon... More

We were told to go to No Signboard for the best chili crab in the city. Of course, we didn't get a chance to try crab anywhere else, but it really was delicious. My boyfriend and I split one crab, and it was about $60 Canadian, which was a lot of money for one crab, but we decided to splurge.... More

We wanted to try the famous chili crab on our stay in Singapore last month, so we made a reservation at No Signboard. This was the start of a miserable evening. When we placed our order we had requested Western-style utensils, but when the crab came, it was barely cracked at all and almost impossible to eat, especially since we... More

I have been going to No Signboard for some years now, with the last time was in May. I do not find the service as being either poor or inattentive but rather reflecting a very busy (and noisy) restaurant. With this in mind we always book and will give them a follow up call if we are going to be... More

I loved the chili-crab and the white pepper crab at No Signboard. Actually, everything we ate here was very good! We noticed the many poor reviews about service on Trip Advisor, but still gave it a go. I have to admit, while the server was responsive...it only seemed to happen at our request. I can't say they were attentive or... More

The quality and service of no signboard has significantly deteriorated over the years..i remembered it to be pretty decent previously but not anymore. I brought my overseas guest and 4 of us ordered a set lunch for $259. The starter of some cold appetizers which was pathetic, the soup was alright, the white pepper crab which they were famous for...
