Rating 3.5 It’s definitely an institution for Asian seafood. This also mean that you pay top dollars for them. We came when the world was still “normal”, I’m glad we did despite being sceptical of the value for money. Their signature Singapore Chilli Crab is that good! 🦀 The other dishes were good too but the crab was definitely a stand out. Service was bit slow and prices very steep, but we all enjoyed the meal.
Really enjoyed our night out at this legendary establishment. Relax with a couple of beers, put on your bibs and really dig in! The crabs are enormous and succulent and you'll be licking every last drop of sauce from your fingers!
You can't go wrong with this place, it has been open since the '80s and Harry is such a legend.
Sit down, don your bib and order a bucket of beers.
Get the house special crab with Singapore chilli sauce and everyone stops talking.
You will thank me later!
Great crab and flavour. I had the Singapore chilli blue swimmer crab, medium hot. It was just the right amount of heat from the sauce, and the crab was great.
Extensive menu full of fresh seafood and other dishes. We ordered the fried rice, eggplant (which is a must) and the prawns. Staff are friendly and polite.
I really enjoyed my experience here. It was unfortunate because I wanted to try the spiciest level of chili crab but we had friends that could not take too much spice, so we settled with level 3. The sauce had a lot of flavor and we had other dishes that tasted really good as well. Service was prompt and I would come back here on special occasions.

After almost 30yrs in Sydney, I’d never been and have no idea why not. The decor is shabby, the place is on busy Elizabeth St, on a non-descript corner.
Our party of 8 is given the private room in the front, which is sort of lovely, but also very fishbowl from the street.
The waiters are the real deal, with very limited English.
We start with san Choy bow chicken - really good. And some pork dumplings. They were ok, but lacked the delicious chilli condiments of din Tai Fung. The chilli salt n pepper calamari was yum. The vegetarian spring rolls were however all mush inside.
Then the honey king prawns - these are utterly superb. So tasty, crunchy, fresh.
Singapore noodles were tasteless and bland. Steamed broccoli and chicken similarly flavourless.
But these are all a dress rehearsal for the main event - all be upstanding for the King - szechuan chilli mud crab. Truly exquisite. Crab is fresh, flavours are bountiful, the chilli warm but not oppressive, and the Szechuan pepper it’s delightful numbing self. Reminds me of a Linkin Park song. This is a must do. The roti to soak up the sauce is ethereal - like a hand in a glove.
Expensive, certainly, but you get what you pay for. This is tops.
If you like Singapore Chilly Crabs then look no further than Harris Singapore Chilly Crabs in Sydney's CBD. I had the curry styled preparation extra extra hot and spicy (didn't realize how spicy it was then but do now). Taste it with pan fried buns - delicious! Staff are friendly. Remember - Crabs don't come cheap - so a main meal might set you back by about $200 (with alcohol). Also, remember it's a BIG meal so come with friends to share the experience. Mind you - eating crab is a messy affair - but the staff will look after you!
Been here previously, didn't disappoint the first time and didn't disappoint this time either. The Singaporean chilli mud crap was delicious. The waiter advised us of the price of the crab/kilo prior to putting through our order (same procedure as the last time we went) everything else was fairly priced. The dishes came out hot, freshly cooked/fried and relatively fast. The staff were very attentive and polite. It was very humid today, so depite the air conditioner, the walk to the restaurant had us hot. The staff noticed, without us saying anything, and adjusted the AC. There's been some renovation since the last time we were here, it all looks very classy. Will go again.
Have been here a few times. While the price point is a little on the high side for me personally, I do enjoy the food and ambience.
Very convenient location as well.
Always love Singapore chilli crab but didn’t find any restaurants that can do same or similar like in Singapore….. until I tried Harry’s which recommended by friends. The crabs were so fresh and taste was sooo good. They have many options for crabs, highly recommended the black paper crab, it brings you back to Singapore.
A great place to go to satisfy your crab cravings. I've been there 5 years ago to get the signature Singapore chilli crab and it was delicious. This time we ordered 3 different styles: salted egg, garlic butter and XO mud crabs. I must say that the XO was the best by far, in this place I recommend staying with the classics and if you want different flavours, choose a different place. Despite crab season the price was high but the crabs were meaty, sweet and cooked perfectly.
Exceptionally great services. Best Singapore Chilli Crab I have ever had. Finally find somewhere to eat here in Sydney that reminds me same level of tastes in Singapore
Excellent Singapore and Black Pepper Chilli crab paired with none other than Singapore's very own Tiger beer (and/or a Singapore Sling). Brought back memories of many nights at Boat Quay and Clarke Quay for me! 👌🏽
First time been here, the food is outstanding and service is awesome. Recommending the Singaporean chilli crab, garlic and butter prawns. Probably the best Seafood restaurant I’ve ever been to in Sydney. Highly recommended and will come back for sure!
The taste of chilli crab is fantastic! I’d say its even better than what I tried in Singapore before! Highly recommended and will definitely visit again! The shrimp and squid is also must try!

From the moment we entered service was on point. We were politely welcomed & taken to our table for the night. Ordered our food and what a treat! Every single dish we ordered was packed with juicy deliciousness & oh so scrumptious! We booked here to kick of our mums 60th birthday weekend and what a start it was. The renowned mud crab (Mums special request), blue swimmer crab, Singapore noodles & caramelised pork thrown in with some drinks and it’s the best combo! The staff were so attentive and always on it, made the experience so enjoyable. An amazing, quaint spot on Elizabeth Street. Definitely will be back…
