Since I had made a reservation, a waiter quickly led us to a prepared room. Kani Doraku's crabs are consistently of high quality. Whether it's crab sashimi or a whole frozen crab, they are all very sweet and fresh. The only thing to note is that their waiters are not always around to help you. If you need anything, you must call them. They are very reluctant to send a waiter over.

Eating at Dancing Crab Shinjuku was quite fun, experience itself was totally different. We ordered both the Signature Spicy and a Mild seafood bag, I really like the spicy one. The atmosphere was full of energy as staff performances were making it more fun. Perfect if you’re looking for a lively, non-traditional night out in Tokyo!

Had a really fun time at Dancing Crab Shinjuku! The whole dining experience is quite unique compared to typical restaurants. We tried both the Signature sauce and Spicy sauce seafood course, and the spicy one was definitely the highlight for me. The vibe was super lively, especially with the staff performances adding to the energy. Personally loved the magic show where I got to participate. Great place if you want something different for a night out in Tokyo!

Dancing Crab is a must-visit, especially on Friday nights for the dance and magic shows. Eating with my hands was a fun, unique experience! The Caesar salad was fresh, crispy and creamy, and the crabs with two different flavours of sauce including their signature sauce were delicious. Super convenient location right near Shinjuku Station. Highly recommended!

Vibrant, high-energy atmosphere that is perfect for group celebrations. Sould be aware that the experience is very sensory-rich with loud music and bright, sparkling lights, so it may not be suitable for those with sensitive hearing or sight. Food is finger-licking delicious!

The magician’s tricks and the staff’s ability to get the crowd going were amazing—we had a really great time! Eating with my bare hands was a new experience, I was so happy to be able to eat plenty of crab and shrimp. There was a wide selection of soft drinks, which was great since I don’t drink much alcohol. The staff were always nearby, so I had no trouble placing my orders. Access from Shinjuku Station was excellent, and I found my way there without any trouble!
