89 King Crab, Seafood restaurant in Jiangshan Village, Taiwan.
89 King Crab is a seafood restaurant on He Jiang Street with two dining areas connected by an alley and an outdoor cooking space. Chefs prepare king crabs in view of the diners.
The restaurant built its reputation by sourcing king crabs directly from Hokkaido, Japan, and maintaining high preparation standards. This origin continues to shape its offerings today.
The place follows Taiwanese dining traditions where customers choose live king crabs from tanks and watch the kitchen prepare them.
Visitors should book ahead since the restaurant fills up quickly with limited seating. The portions are generous, so sharing makes sense when dining in a group.
The kitchen prepares different parts of the crab in different ways: legs are grilled while the body and claws arrive raw. Diners cook these themselves in their personal hot pot with corn and tomatoes.
