Mantau: We had to pay for this separately, in cash (25k per one). We didn’t order two portions, but the staff automatically brought one per person. Unfortunately, it was inedible: hard, dry, and not enjoyable at all.
Drinks: They didn’t have soft drinks available. We ordered watermelon and mango juice instead. The watermelon juice (without sugar) tasted like nothing, and the mango juice was made with frozen, sour mangoes. Meh.
Crab: We ordered soft-shell crab with the Dandito signature sauce. The dish came with fried soft-shell crabs. The crab itself was fine, but the much-hyped signature sauce was nothing special.
Food highlights: The nasi goreng and fried cumi-cumi (squid) were very good and highly recommended.
Note:
– There is an additional 3% charge for credit card payments.
– People smoke inside the restaurant, which really affected my appetite. Secondhand smoke while dining was VERY UNPLEASANT.
– The restaurant is also not very clean. I saw photos showing that a former president had dined here in the past, but considering that reputation, the experience was very disappointing

First time to Balikpapan. Local driver recommended this place for good seafood. Ordered Chef recommended Fu Yung Kepiting, Nasi Goreng Special, and Chicken Tenders. Love the Fu Yung Kepiting – the sauce is good! Wanted to try their female crab or udang gala, but they ran out of both at lunch time!
Side note: The toilet in this place is clean. There’s wifi, but you have to ask for it. There’s service charge at the end.

everyone said that u have to try the crab if u come to Balikpapan! and @kepitingdandito is the hot place to go!
we’ve tried the kepiting jantan saus dandito and I’ll sadly announce that crab is not my cup of tea the meat is not as sweet as I imagined it to be, and it’s such a hassle to eat with just a little meat. however, the sauce is great and everyone happy with it ↕️
but everything else is super tasty for me! the udang saus asam manis was bomb and super clean! BUT THE FUYUNG HAI is such on another level, I’d say it’s the best fuyung hai that I’ve tried so far.
the waiting time is okay and the server were very helpful. the price was okay compared to the overall experience. I’ll recommend it to everyone that visit Balikpapan to try.

My go-to whenever I’m in BPN. Their crabs are fresh, sauces are nice. Overall a good place to those who wants crab.

The place is buzzing the whole time I was there. I arrived around 14.00 and it was still crowded until I left around 15.30. For your convenience, making advance reservation is highly recommended
Once we arrived, we ordered 2 menus of crabs. Their speciality is the kepiting goreng bawang putih, so we ordered it together with kepiting lada hitam. I’d say they do better with the kepiting lada hitam (a bit spicy because of the blackpepper sauce)
The kepiting goreng bawang putih was actually good if only you eat it together with the sambal bawang (complimentary).
The crabs alone actually tasted plain in my opinion (bumbu nya kurang nyerap di kepiting) so you need to eat it with the complimentary ingredient to get the right taste (e.g. sambal, sauce).
I’m giving a 4 ⭐️ because I think this place is too hyped up ♀️ there is another place that sells crab and tastes better than here (karena bumbu nya nyerap ke dalam kepitingnya), but Dandito is still a good try and you still need to try their kepiting lada hitam
But if you are more into spicy food, then go for the kepiting goreng bawang putih + sambal bawang. Their sambal is great and super spicy ️ ️ ️
⏳Cook time: 10-20 minutes
Menu recommendation: Kepiting masak lada hitam
✅ Tips:
1. Make advance reservation to secure a table (t&c: DP 50% —> it seems much, but you can always buy 1-2 main menu and add more after you arrive )
2. You can order 1/2 portion for the kepiting jantan and kepiting soka

This is the local seafood restaurant mainly served the crab. Many type of taste to cook the crab. Reasonable price and the seafood are fresh! The restaurant is big but service is a little bit slow but understandable during the peak hour. There is a live band singing which entertain you while eating, which is feel great!

My friend recommended it.
The soft shell crab is nice but the portion is too big for two to finish. The kangkong with prawn is so so, some prawns are not fresh.
The crab soup is the highlight TBH, it’s very smooth and tasty. I would just come again for the crab soup.
One complaint I must make is when I want to return an extra bottle of drinks (not open), they do not allowed. They claimed it’s already keyed into the system. I think they are just lazy and illiterate to get it removed.

Very good seafood restaurant. Known for its crab dishes, but we only ordered the soft shell one, the special dandito sauce was good. cant really taste the crab in the crab fuyunghai, might as well order the ordinary one instead. kangkung is actually so-so. cant relly taste the sauce for grilled fish. price wise i think this place is not that cheap.
