If you’re looking for a high-octane, high energy, flashing lights experience that is quintessential Japan and you want to combine it with dinner and a quasi show then dancing crab is definitely the spot for you !!

We’d heard a lot about this restaurant and we were hungry for a seafood boil so we figured we’d try it out it’s an easy walk from the train station in Tokyo and it’s definitely something that everyone should experience if they like seafood.

If you’re planning to go on a weekend or Friday, make sure that you make reservations in advance because the restaurant fills up fast. We found that during the week it was much easier to get seats and the restaurant wasn’t as crowded. If you’re celebrating a special event you can let the staff know and they’ll bring out a special cake or board with a message written to the person of honor!

Well the focus of the restaurant is seafood they do have other options for those who do not want to partake. There is a wide range of alcoholic selections as well and my friends who came with us for a drink were not disappointed with the poor of the bartender.

At different points during the night the staff would come out and entertain the crowd with songs and dance. There was lots of music and shouting as well as singing. It is definitely NOT a place for the faint of heart or those who might have sensitive hearing or trouble with flashing strobe lights!
