Love the food. I'm a fan of chicken wings and shrimp. So it was perfect! Sad to say wala silang buttered shrimp at maliliit pa yung shrimp. Ambiance is okay. Typical restaurant.
Shrimp Bucket is a good place to go to when you have cravings for shrimp and mussels. I haven't tried their crab yet. Shrimp Bucket is my favorite among the restos offering different flavors of shrimp.
My usual order would be....
Shrimp - the Mardis Gras - the chorizo sauce is so addicting! Perfect combination of pork, paprika, garlic and spiciness. Extra rice please!
Mussels - Frenchy Lemon Pepper - large mussels go well with the butter lemon sauce. Another extra rice!
For extra, get the deep fried baby squid!
Other fave sauces is the Salty Eggsperience.
Favorite to order is mardi gras with its chorizo bits and spicy sauce. A bit expensive but understood since it’s really expensive to begin with. Don’t order when they’re about to close. They’ll accommodate you but give you unmarinated shrimps. I believe alcohol can also be served here. Their choice of drinks are also interesting. A good place to try
This place is awesome. The food is good, servings are generous and servers are nice. The ambiance is a bit confused (tho not sure since there might be an event which is why the place is being decorated) Their shrimp and sauce is absolutely fabulous! Price range is a bit high. Definitely recommended.
Yummy food! We always get the Lemon pepper Shrimp and Mardi Gras Mussels! This Shrimp Bucket branch is also alot more spacious than the BGC branch.
We got the shrimps with mardi gras sauce and salted egg sauce. We also got mussels with mardi gras sauce and buffalo chicken wings.
In terms of cooking, they were all cooked well. Nothing over cooked. The sauces were on-point and yummy, exactly what you would expect.
Oh, and by the way, their mardi gras sauce comes with lots of meat that tastes like sausage/longganisa. Pretty salty, but best with rice.
Buffalo wings was okay. Generally, nothing much to talk about. You get what you expect. Quality is good. So if you’re craving for their dishes, head over!

Looooove Shrimp Bucket, glad there’s a branch in Ayala 30th already! And our go to dishes are Mussels in Mardi Gras (i.e. with chorizo) sauce, Shrimps in either the French Lemon Pepper (i.e. lemon garlic butter) sauce or Salted Egg. That’s when there’s only 2 of us. It’s more sulit to get 1 bag of mussels and 1 of shrimp because the former is cheaper by ₱200+ and if you get the Mardi Gras, I promise you, the chorizo sauce is ulam in itself, soooo goooood!!!
If I’m dining with friends, like earlier today we were 3, just added the Deep Fried Baby Squid. So you’ve got yourself covered with 3 kinds -shrimps, mussels and squid - or actually 4 if you count the chorizo sauce! Hehe!
There are a lot of good seafood places now with similar concept and it’s rare that they get it wrong. Shrimp Bucket is definitely one of my favorites (ang kulit ko, but ung Mardi Gras chorizo sauce nila binabalikbalikan ko talaga!) and the Shrimps are always perfectly cooked (please keep it up & don’t change / don’t be lax, okay, Shrimp Bucket? 😆)
P.S. I forgot to mention, at minimum you will consume 1 cup of rice. White rice is best because the sauces are so tasty. If you order a cup of extra rice (or two!), no one will judge you. 😉
Still the best seafood bucket resto in the Metro! So far it’s the Ayala 30th branch that is the nicest. Staff were quick to assist. The only thing I did not like was the restroom. Hope they’ll keep it clean all the time.
We ordered The Mardi Gras(Mussels), Salty Eggsperience(Shrimp) and Frenchy Lemon Pepper(Shrimp)..
I liked the Frenchy Lemon Pepper, it's like a twist of buttered shrimp with lemon and garlic..

Who is on a “seefood” diet? When you see food, you are instantly drawn to it, and you find yourself eating it with gusto. Many of us are guilty of this, right? Kidding aside, seafood lovers, I have a exciting update for all of you here.
Let me just first congratulate Shrimp Bucket for their anniversary! Five solid years in business.
In lieu with this milestone, Shrimp Bucket, which has six current branches, BGC, Il Terazzo, Olympia, Greenhills, U.P. Town Center, and newly opened Ayala Malls the 30th, recently prepared a scrumptious dinner for some bloggers and media friends. They are also preparing for an event on December 9, possibly in BGC, dedicated for its loyal clients. Stay tuned!
Shrimp Bucket founder, Paul Martires welcomed us and gave his opening remarks. This is where things got more thrilling, fellow foodies, he revealed new offerings and we had the pleasure of trying them firsthand!
To kick off the seafood (and more) feast, we were introduced first to Deep Fried Baby Squid (Php 215). This addictive starter had crispy well coated batter on seasoned to the letter squid paired with sour and quite hot vinegar dip.
Chicken Wings in Buffalo (Php 225) in traditional blue cheese came next. It would be quite a challenge not to have rice with this tasty and plump wings.
We also got some sides, I was able to bite on some Fresh Cut Fries (Php 78), rustically delicious to look at and taste, as the potatoes still had its healthy skin. For a healthier option, there was the Popeye Greens In Lemon & Garlic (Php 70), which is spinach with a zesty kick of lemon and garlic. This was a good deal at less than a Php 100!
After being given our respective bibs, it was time for the star of the night, the shrimps. We were able to try two variants: Salty Eggsperience (Salted Egg), and Mardi Gras, which was also as flavorful, thanks to loads of Chinese chorizo in it.
For the not so secret part, bags of Stir-fried Shrimp with two secret sauces were placed on our tables. Two cups of Asian sauces came with it. Shrimp Bucket has not named them yet but one thing’s for sure, one is Vietnamese and one is Thai inspired. At this point, we just really had to pair them with garlic rice.
But wait, there’s more! A big bag of crabs was placed in front of us, to much of our delight. The Crab Sebastiana is among Shrimp Bucket’s newest offerings, it is a humongous crustacean, well seasoned and full of heart stopping fat.
To quench our thirst from an almost unending course, I tried the Lemon Raspberry Iced Tea (Php 85), as recommended by our server and in preparation for dessert, the Mango Cream from Shakes & Smoothies (Php 135).
Our palates were cleansed more thoroughly with the refreshing Sollie’s Tapioca In Coconut Milk (Php 75). This you got to have for its milky sweetness finish.
If you enjoy getting down and dirty with seafood, with your hands of course, Shrimp Bucket should be in your bucket list! It’s all out in here.
The salted egg shrimps is less tasty than the one in UPTC. Still good but lacks a bit of flavor! The Kani and shrimp salad also tastes good :)
Still one of my favorites though!!!
Very casual ambiance perfect for informal gatherings with friends, family or colleagues. Not first-date venue material though as the seafood can be messy to eat. Food was great. Our group really enjoyed the Bags by the Pound Shrimp and Mussels with the Salty Eggsperience and The Mardi Gras sauces, respectively (the butter and garlic sauce was underwhelming though). The Buffalo Wjngs are also a must-try. The waiters are friendly and accommodating but could benefit from professional training to enhance customer experience.
