What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Salut Seafood Restaurant offers incredibly fresh seafood, particularly its prawns, and a stunning sunset view by the river mouth. While many praise the freshness and speed of service, some diners have encountered issues with billing dishonesty, insufficient portions, and inconsistent food taste, with a few noting the ambiance and maintenance could be improved.
"5 days ago I ate at this restaurant and this is the first time I set foot here.
I can honestly say, the seafood here is delicious and very fresh in Kota Kinabalu. The location is secluded from the hustle and bustle of the city and the most relaxing is the location of this restaurant next to the river mouth. The view is amazing and beautiful when the sun starts to set.
A large and spacious dining area, plenty of parking space and fast service from them.
Reasonable price depends on the quantity you choose. The menu that should be tried is the Shrimp. It is very very FRESH."

"Dishonest Practices and Poor Experience!!
I had a highly disappointing experience at this establishment. We ordered five dishes, but the portions were insufficient for our group of four. When we asked for white rice, the owner assured us it was free. However, after having two small bowls each to compensate for the inadequate portions, we were shocked to find the rice included in our bill. The total cost exceeded 300+, despite the underwhelming food quality and quantity.
On a previous visit, we ordered steamed fish along with other dishes, but the fish was never served. Yet, it was still added to our bill. When we pointed this out, the owner casually removed it without offering an apology.
Additionally, the venue itself is in poor condition. Many areas are closed off, the floors are visibly rotten, and the place feels unsafe.
Between the dishonesty, unsatisfactory portions, and unsafe environment, this is an unethical business that I cannot recommend!!"

Kota Kinabalu – Our Adventures in This Sabah City
Many of the restaurants, such as Ocean Seafood Restaurant and Salut Seafood Restaurant, will have fish and crustaceans swimming in large tanks. Instead of ordering from the menu, you can just walk up to the tanks and point to the fish, crab, lobster or other sea creature that you would like to eat!. It feels a little strange to point to a specific sea creature and request its demise so that you can have a nice meal, but this way you know that the seafood is as fresh as possible!.
