Price is affordable.
We went there Saturday night without reservation.
We ordered garlic broccoli, seafood tofu, pineapple fried rice, cereal prawn and coconuts water.
Garlic broccoli tastes good. Seafood tofu is normal.
Pineapple fried rice is a bit too oily and the pineapple is sour.
Although the pier prawn is fresh, cereal prawn is covered by thick flour.
Coconuts water tastes weird. It’s not fresh.
I asked them to change new one but the new one also tastes not nice.
In terms of their service, I understand we had to wait for seat as we went there without reservation.
However, even after 5 groups left at least, the service staff did not bother us until I waved her for her attention. That’s very bad. We waited half an hour even though it’s no one in front of us.
FYI, atmosphere was okay, but the smell from water surrounding the restaurant was terrible like someone farted a lot.

Came for dinner. Tables were 3/4 full. Can choose either buffet BbQ steamboat or normal orders. The dishes we ordered took longer than expected to be served . However all were tasty n presentable. Fresh n full of taste with generous portions for each dishes
During the wait, specifically from 730pm, there would be a cultural 'show' with various cultural dance performances, all local to this region. Very entertaining n fun to watch. The beautiful dances would also invite diners to join in on the dances n also try the 'sumpit' . Lastly diners can also go on stage to take pictures with the dancers too, as the perfect evening came to an end, for our group at least. The total dining cost was somewhat expensive but to enjoy fresh tasty seafood dishes n be entertained by the dancer were all worth every cent of it. Highly ii recommend this place n will definitely come back here again 👍👍

Kampung Nelayan has lost its touch in terms of everything. Those days about 10 years ago, they were top notch in food & service. And I've been here at least 8 times in the last 10 years. My last visit was in Oct 2023, and the food was not fresh, quality very poor, service was also not up to standard.
The management needs to improve on this. I know, most of the time, one-time tourists and visitors from MICE groups come here, but we locals also follow, so please keep your service and quality up. Otherwise, you're gonna lose customers.

Came here with my family and wasn't sure what to expect. We opted for the all you can eat option.
I had a very positive experience, the food was good and the staff were very attentive. The amount of seafood and meat on display just makes the mouth water. If you are dining around 7.30-8.30 pm, there is a cultural show as entertainment, which children and adults alike can enjoy.
It's great value for money, certainly somewhere to keep in mind if entertaining non-Sabahans.

The food was beyond my expectations. Low class food. Fried rice was hard and tasteless. The fried noodles have no taste. The chicken tasted too sweet. Japanese tofu has no taste and no flavour. Sweet and sour fish was the worst ever. Satay? Totally out. Steamboat nothing special with bad quality selections. Those people with no tongue are encouraged to dine here.

It's a stretch to call it a floating restaurant. The food was mediocre but there was a few highlights such as the salted egg squid.
The crab was not fresh and very small.
There was a good entertainment for us as it was company dinner though.
