This is the go-to place if you're craving for seafood in Alabang Town Center. Their sauces are amazing and my personal favorites were the Aligue and Sweet Chili Garlic. Out of all dishes I have tried, there was one that astonished me. It was their Crispy Calamari. I have never been more amazed by the taste of calamari and the execution of the dish was perfect. Definitely will eat here again and again! :)

if you have no access to dampa and you need a seafood fix, the boiling seafood is a great alternative. although on the pricier side, you are sure to enjoy the freshest catch. my family ordered prawns and mussels in both garlic butter and sweet chilli sauces (mild and wild heat levels) and we were not disappointed! they didn’t have plastic gloves but i’m assuming that’s due to city ordinance so no points deducted for that.

The place was simple but the food was super delish. We ordered the Sweet Chili Garlic Shrimp and the Pirate Paul’s Buffalo wings. All in all the experience was superb and we walked out thinking when we will come back again.

Worth it and a must-try! We ordered shrimp with sweet chili garlic sauce, buffalo wings solo and steamed rice. One order of shrimp is about 350grams. It’s definitely good for sharing. Shrimps were in good size, so it has more meat. It was good and flavorful. It was best eaten with squeezed lemon and pepper. Buffalo wings were also a surprise! I like its taste and dip. We only paid for 1089 pesos, but felt so full! Satisfied!

The best thing is you may choose the sauce you want for each seafood. Like, we had butter garlic for the mussels🥘, creamy aligue on the crab🦀 (with its own thick aligue), coconut curry for the shrimps🦐. The Crispy Calamari🦑 was, yes, crispy😄
The place just doesn't look so inviting😕

Worst 😣😑😐🙂☺😁 Best

😁Food - Great food! Sweet chili shrimp and buffalo wings are the bomb!

☺Ambience - Just right, but nothing exceptional.

😑Price - Expect to pay $$$, which I guess is too much, considering you can get the same tasting food at a lower price from other seafood restaurants.

☺Service - Good service. Nothing exceptional either.

The food was good, i love the seafoods, specially the crabs. In some point, you can’t really know the weigh of the crabs that you order. They just say “we have 600grams, 700grams, 750grams”. So you will choose 750grams but when they served it, it doesn’t look like 750. The taste was good. Very good!

So i brought my family here on my birthday to eat crab. We were supposed to go to red crab but i didnt know that they're no longer in atc. Fortunately this resto also serves crab. I think their price per 100 gram is a lil expensive compared to red crab. They served the food in a plastic above a plate which is odd for me. My bad i didnt ask what's the plastic for. I am satisfied with the freshness pf the shrimp and crab we ordered. I think Red Crab tastes better but theirs is also delicious. I liked that they served the seafoods with lemons, salt and pepper. Nakakaalis ng suya 😂

Ambience is average. Location is great but it's outside the mall.

Servers are a little stiff. I felt they were a little cold when taking orders.

My sister loves Boiling Seafood that she kept bragging about it. She went home with crab, shrimp and carbonara. Haven't been to the place yet. But boiling seafood deserve to be brag about for their tasty sauce and freshness of seafood.

Good food. Especially the bbq buffalo chicken. The crab in aligue sauce is also good. Less salt maybe. Should have add more groovy music to uplift the mood though.

Overall dining experience is just average - didn't find anything special about the restaurant but didn't have any bad impressions either.

Ordered a bag of shrimp with cajun sauce (which i really enjoyed), seafood pesto (tastes okay too), and fish and chips (which is too salty for me).

Thing to note: They do not provide any plastic gloves so be prepared to deshell the shrimps either with your bare hands or your utensils.

Ambiance: It was quite dark inside the restaurant and it didn't make for a great atmosphere to eat. But... It doesn't matter 'cause we ate anyway.

Food:

Prawns in butter garlic sauce: It may be a normal combination but their butter garlic sauce was just !!! I don't think health buffs would appreciate it though because, if and when you ask for their butter garlic sauce, you'd feel the butter... But.... You know.... YOLO!

Crabs in Sweet Chili Garlic: As a fan of all things spicy, this was really good and a must try.

Clams in Coconut Curry: The sauce was good but the clams were too small to enjoy.

Mussels in Cajun Sauce: The sauce didn't make much of an impression to me... BUT!!! You're not me!!!! So who knows?!

The Boiling Seafood is located at the new extention of Alabang Town Center so it's an easy access. It's the only or first of their branch. The staff were ok, but not so friendly.

My friends ordered for us and they chose from the 'Pick Your Seafood' section. We chose shrimps on clams. Then they chose the sauce. 3 different sauces for the shrimps; buttered garlic (tame), sweet and spicy (mild), and Cajun (wild). For the clams, the sauce was coconut currey. I think it's kind of fun the way you get to choose which seafood you want to eat, choose the sauce, and then control the spiciness.

The group's favorite was the sweet and spicy (mild) shrimp. I have to agree with them, but I also like the coconut curry clam. The food was good and the price is reasonable for the serving size. It's great to eat with rice. Their unli rice is called forever rice. Looks like we found where forever really exists. Ha! Well, that was fun.

The food here is simple  but delightful. Their crabs and shirmps are freshly served. The crabs are somehow dry inside but still soft. I would recommend cajun sauce on crabs is if you love spices. For shrimps, crab meat (aligue) and butter garlic are  good choices too. The service is good and crews are attentive.  It may be a little expensive but it's worth dining.

I've dined here thrice. My favorite is the Cajun sauce. Aligue wasn't so bad. I just find it a bit redundant if added on to the seafood. I would rather order a bag of crabs with its aligue and top it with the sweet spicy Cajun sauce. Buttered garlic is the usual mix for shrimps. I like going here weeknights cause the place isn't too busy and FA were attentive. Maybe if they provided disposable plastic gloves with their servings of seafood in a plastic bag then I would have given them a perfect score. I know Muntinlupa bans plastics but since the seafood is served in a plastic bag then might as well give away optional plastic gloves with it. Seafood is yummy eaten by hands but the "langsa" takes a while to wash off. Oh and please provide more lemon slices, spruce it with your water to freshen and rinse off our palates while we enjoy your dishes trying to clean our plates. It is also good to note that they have joined MetroDeal for their promotions almost 3 months ago. I keep coming back since I like seafood and their sauces. They should really think of selling it in bottles for take out. Thankful I do not have any seafood allergies, too.

Definitely a must try!

No pretentious seafood restaurant that serves fresh dishes. One of their best in my opinion is the Buffalo wings (not exactly seafood).

Their cajun sauce is excellent for my taste, I just couldn't stop eating and perfect match with a bottle of beer.

Yes the seafood they served was really fresh. We ordered shrimps with butter garlic and mussels with aligue. We also tried their caesar salad (I wish they made their own croutons over breadpan).

Rating:
Seafood freshness= 5
Butter Garlic sauce = 3
Aligue Sauce = 5
Caesar Salad = 3
Red Iced Tea = 3

Note: I'd probably not dine there again. The food took a long time to be served. We had to follow up our order. The drinks were not refilled proactively and their attention had to be called (no the place was not too crowded for our glasses not to be noticed).

Recommendation: Order the seafood with Aligue sauce. Order it mild or wild. You'll enjoy it!

I have never tasted  mussels  this good.  The mussels with crab fat  is a MUST order. The  sauce is so delish that  you can survive just with this.  The sad part is  a fourth of the order can't be eaten  because it is still unopened.  I was a bit surprised they have Salpicao in a seafood restaurant perhaps  to give people like me some  choices.  It wasn't the best though. I am not so much for seafood restaurants because I find eating crabs and shrimps such a hassle. But when you eat  with  friends so  engaged in  both the crabs and shrimp, it  becomes a worthy  dining experience.

All their sauces tasted super yummy. My family and I tried their cajun , curry, chili garlic and garlic sauces for shrimp, clams, mussels and crabs - fresh and very tasty. You'll want to have a bigger appetite and forget about dieting.

The Boiling Seafood has the same concept as Boiling Crabs in the United States. They serve you shrimps, mussels, lobsters, and crabs in a plastic bag with their special sauces, and you throw your shells in a small bucket on the table. They made sure to incorporate the Asian taste, hence their sauces include cajun, sweet chili garlic, crab fat (aligue), coconut curry, and butter garlic. Aprons are provided so you don't have to worry about getting sauce stains on your shirt. (P.S. Eating with your hands is encouraged here.) Their seafood are guaranteed fresh, flown daily from Roxas City to Manila. They specialize in seafood, but they do offer some non-seafood options like fried chicken, spaghetti, and salad, as well.

Their seafood are guaranteed fresh, flown daily from Roxas City to Manila. They specialize in seafood, but they do offer some non-seafood options like fried chicken, spaghetti, and salad, as well.

Non-seafood dishes: 
Crispy Calamari (P285)
Pirate Paul's Buffalo Wings (P295/6pcs | P575/12pcs)
BBQ Baby Back Ribs (full slab P995 / half slab P565)

To order seafood:
Step 1: Pick your seafood (shrimps, crabs, clams, or lobster) 
Step 2: Pick your sauce (cajun, sweet chili garlic, aligue, coconut curry, or butter garlic) 
Step 3: How hot do you want it? (Tame, Mild, or Wild)

First up, we had the shrimps in sweet chili garlic sauce (shrimps are P595/350 grams). We got to try the tame version, which was okay for me because the spicier the food gets, the more I'll end up eating. And since this was the first dish, I had to control myself or else I wouldn't have made it til the end. Haha! Definitely trying the mild/wild next time though! :)

Then the shrimps in crab fat (aligue) sauce. It looks similar to the sweet chili garlic sauce, except the sauce is thicker and it doesn't have corn in it. Unfortunately for those with high blood pressure or high cholesterol, you can't have too much of this. I'd suggest avoiding it altogether because, I'm telling you, you won't be able to resist it! Lucky for me, I don't have any of those conditions, so I was able to eat as much as I wanted. Definitely my favorite dish of the day!

Next is the clams in coconut curry sauce (clams are P325/400 grams). Coconut milk and curry - two things I like! I kept pouring the sauce on my rice, but I do wish they had made it a bit thicker and not too diluted. I still liked it though!

The mussels in Cajun sauce (mussels are P325/400 grams) was slightly spicy and garlicky. 

Crab Garlic Overload (P195/100 grams) - crabs tossed in rich aoili and burro sauces, overloaded with crispy toasted minced garlic 

P.S. If you're lazy, you can also request the staff to crack the shells for you. :)

The best seafood establishments, in my opinion, stand out through their close connections to suppliers, netting them a steady supply of freshly-caught seafare flown in directly from the dock. On the plate, that translates to succulent shellfish, sublimely fresh fish and seasonal specialties - all of which live up to the impressive hype. The Boiling Seafood lived up to my expectations; so far so good.

The restaurant was nice, modern and upscale. Pleasing colors, very warm and inviting, nice without being snobby or pretentious. It is pretty big but divided up nicely, so it feels more homey. We were greeted quickly by our server, who promptly brought our drinks back. He explained the menu well, and had great knowledge of the food.
The menu had a collection of mouthwatering seafood dishes; in particular Crab and Shrimp choices caught our eye. And it was well-set out with plain descriptions, they’re certainly not pretentious. We didn't find any of the entrees to stick out so we just ordered a lot of appetizers and all of the entrees.
1/2 dozen oysters- They were very fresh and weren't massive but the sauce topped it all off. Highlighting the Aligue Sauce, very sinful yet exquisitely satisfying.

I highly commend the entire wait staff. We were well looked after and there was an effort to make us feel welcome. Especially in the way a number of the servers introduced themselves and offered their services. They were noticeably efficient as all our meals were delivered speedily. They also thought to offer us condiments and extra sauces too. We had a few excellent dishes and would go back again for sure. And we’re not the only ones, bookings are essential on weekends for a reason!

I know that their Pirate Paul’s Buffalo Wings is not a seafood dish but it deserves some highlight here. The outer layer had the right crisp, and was evenly coated with the tangy sauce. The meat inside was juicy and good sans the paired sauce. To elevate its flavor, one could pour some sauce in.

Their calamari was crispy yet you could still taste the squid. The coating was thin enough to put the spotlight on the squid. It’s best eaten with the sauce that came with it.

And I knew I was in for a treat when their Shrimp in Crab Fat Sauce was landed on our table. With some generous heaping of crab fat or aligue sauce, this was one sweet dish. The shrimp were cooked well. You could also tell that it was fresh. I had no trouble peeling it from its shell.

Their Shrimp in Cajun Sauce was equally good too. I liked the slight heat of the sauce on this one.

Their Clams in Coconut Curry Sauce tasted sweet for me that I can take multiple bites of it. I do prefer some heat on my curry but this was good. It was creamy that was probably brought on by the coconut.

And their Mussels in Cajun Sauce was good! I liked the spice on these mussels. Very flavorful yet retaining the taste of the clam

I never got to taste their de-shelled version of Crabs Garlic Overload. Yep, this is for those who don’t want to get their hands dirty. 

And now for the main event: crabs. I’m a sucker for these crustaceans. I do enjoy the plain steamed version but I also find those with sauce in to be enjoyable. The addition of sweet chili garlic on this gave justice to the crab. The spices worked with the natural sweetness of the crustacean. Though there were tools given to de-shell it, some pieces were de-shelled already. Makes it easier to get the crab meat from its shell

True to its name, their Crabs Garlic Overload was loaded with garlic. Though I prefer the other crab dish, this was good too. Perfect to pair with just plain rice.

Yeah…there was an additional order of these ribs. And I didn’t expect that huge slab to be served to us. Placed on a bed of potato fries, I liked the tangy taste of this. The fries weren’t that crunchy as the heat from the meat diffused it but nonetheless, it still tasted good.

Just went here a while ago. There was no one in there and the place is simple. Not much designs or things around. So I ordered their buffalo wings and carbonara. The carbonara is so cheesy! But I like it that way so that's a thumbs up from me. The buffalo wings are sweet when its in your mouth but spicy on your throat. Yummy too! I was full. 👍👍👍

Stumbled onto this for lunch and what a great find. Service was great and attention to any requests was spot on. The dishes were served in durable plastic bags all set for take away if you can't finish them. The Chile sauce was spot on and we liked the degrees of spiciness that are offered to you for your seafood selection. Just a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. So I didn't mind it was worth it. Suggestion to management, get the aprons for men and not children. They are too small for real people, I noticed that almost everyone was struggling with them. This is a good place to come with a group to have fun and share a good messy food.

My family loves this place. Not only is their food great but the service is great as well. The staff are attentive and accomodating. They dont only cater to serving seafood, as their name suggesta but they have a wide variety of dishes. If you are allergic to seafood just like me, I reccomend the carbonara, buffalo wings and the baby back ribs.

I've been wanting to try this place for the longest time but I quickly dismiss thoughts of dining here merely because of my wife's dislike for seafoods. I guess it was my lucky night we finally ended up eating here.

We ordered Shrimps with Aligue, Beef Salpicao and Unlimited Rice/ Forever Rice (in the menu). I love the shrimps as it was smothered with aligue and cayenne powder. I just wish the sauce was a little bit "wilder". The Beef Salpicao isn't impressive at all. The quality and quantity of the beef cannot justify the price of 350 pesos. We should have stayed on the safe side and ordered their seafood dishes instead. They serve bottomless iced tea which costs only around P90 which is a great deal, a really bang for the buck.

The bad part, they serve low quality rice which I think is their biggest miss so far. Filipinos are rice eaters and truth to be told, the yummier the rice, the bigger we eat. Seriously the rice was the major turn off. I do not mind paying more for quality, really.

The servers, especially the guy who was assigned to refill our glasses was pretty quick. He is very thoughtful and very accomodating. I wish all servers will be like him.

By the way this place does not have a wi-fi connection so doing selfies and checking-in on FB isn't gonna be possible unless you have your own wi-fi with you. This is in contrary to the Zomato Info tab where they say Wi-Fi is available. Apparently it is not, because I personally asked the waiters and they said they do not have Wi-Fi. Oh well, I guess the owner isn't very familiar with online marketing and has understimated the power of social media.

Overall, I will give them a a grade of 4 because of the bads-- no Wi-Fi and low quality rice. No wonder every time we pass by, tables are always empty.

Update: Zomato contacted me via email and I was told that they have confirmed that this place has no wi-fi and that they will update the info for this restaurant.
