I love seafood and had to try this place. We ordered the crab mac and cheese which was delicious, super gooey. We did find a small bit of shell and told the staff who apologised and offered to replace, but we were fine with it. The soy fried chicken which was delicious, crab roll and chips.
The staff are very attentive and lovely. The place has a cool vibe, but I'm not a fan of the lighting, I personally don't like restaurants where I can't see my food or my shadow is cast over it. I would also recommend that the menu isn't on the front door but to the side, think it intimidates people and you feel underpressure/in the way of others. That aside, the food is great, the restaurant is great for large groups as they have more seating downstairs
If you book on firsttable.co.uk and are happy to have dinner at 5.30pm, all food items are 50% off. Which is such a great deal! The kimchi fried crab was the favourite and the Cajun boil was pretty good too. An overall lovely experience and great friendly service.
The lunchtime street food menu is great value here. I had the crab brioche roll, which had perfectly toasted bread and a good amount of fresh crab meat. The evening menu looked really good too with plenty of non crab related options - will have to return to check it out.
Really impressed with all the new items on the menu! Genuinely liked everything we ordered, and the taramasalata was surprisingly our favourite?!!
The fish tacos were good, interesting flavours but very tasty, the Korean fried crab was very delicious the mac and cheese needs no intro, and the their signature roll was delicious as I previously remembered.
Their cocktails are also on tap! So cool! Would definitely recommend checking out if in the carnaby street area!
Nice seafood place with sharing style dishes. The soft shell crab "KFC" was a little too oily and lacked seasoning however the crab mac and cheese and lobster and crayfish roll were great.
Conveniently located at the back of carnaby, its great to see a small plates place come to the oxford circus area. Although claw specialises in all things crab, I decided to try the other food since I don't eat crab... I was not disappointed! The caramel chicken wings and the grilled chicken were excellent, as was the dessert. Will be back for more next time!
On my first visit to London I decided to try some of the local food and the mixture of international cusine London has to offer.
And by far Claw was my preferred place, it brings the classic and the cool fusion. A must visit place for locals and visitors.
Atmosphere: excellent music, just at the right volume, spaced tables and the right decor make it a perfect place to hangout with friends.
Food: I was expecting good food, but what I got was excellent fresh food. A mixture of street food with the finest always fresh seefood ingredients complementing each other. Compliments to the Chef!
Service: Often times this is where your day/night out can get ruined, but the crew of Claw's makes your experience complete, with just the right amount of interaction and always a smile on their face. They don't drop the ball and are always ready for you.
I will always come back :)
Really nice place to visit with friendly staff. Great to bring people who love crab and who don’t. The crab is large and well presented.
Other foods include chicken wings, amazing sausages and crab mayo fries.
Worth a visit :)
There is only one word here that can actually be mentioned as appropriate. Outstanding. The food is fantastic, the service excellent. And we had a wonderful evening in a great atmosphere. Thanks for a great time.
I tried Claw on a whim and was absolutely delighted. Sit at the bar and watch delicious imaginative food prepared in front of you and chat to the chefs. 'Loved the salt-and-pepper squid with aubergine. Great value too. I'll definitely be back!
