I was really looking forward to having my first mud crab at Ocean King. Every time we passed by, they were very busy which we thought was a good sign. We booked in and from the moment we were seated the waitress was terrible. She couldn’t care less taking the menus away after we ordered our entrees and when we asked for the menus to order our mains it was as if that was too much for her to handle. There was another woman that was very nice and helped us with our order and explained it to the waitress after we ordered to make sure it was correct. The salt and pepper calamari was the best dish. My mud crab was over priced and under seasoned($ 87). Very disappointed and wouldn’t recommend this restaurant due to price and service.

Glen Waverley has an abundance of Asian restaurants, most of them offering similar experiences as their neighbors. Ocean kings is probably one of the ‘better’ restaurants in Glen Waverley, it offers a much more family/formal(I use this word loosely) style of dinning as its seating capacity is on the larger side. You walk in and immediately you see round tables surrounded by friends and family members enjoying conversation over a meal. Its definitely got a restaurant feeling to it, whereas the other restaurants neighboring ocean king only offer an ‘in and out’ atmosphere. This place is probably on the pricey side in comparison to the other places on the strip, however I find their food to be of better quality and the whole experience more enjoyable. You pay for what you get, this includes prawn crackers, ‘lei tang’ and fruits. Ocean king offer fresh fish, crab, lobster and abalone. They have a large menu with a lot of goodies(try the pork belly). They also offer take away meats(roast chicken, duck and pork). If you’re looking for a slightly more official dinner destination in Glen Waverley, I would suggest here coming here.
