Kam Ling Seafood Restaurant 金陵海鮮樓 — Restaurant in Borneo

Kam Ling Seafood Restaurant is a well‑regarded seafood destination in Tawau. The restaurant boasts spacious indoor and outdoor seating, climate‑controlled and air‑conditioned options, plus ample parking.

The unique selling point of this restaurant is the freshness of the live seafood—lobsters, crabs, prawns and groupers are kept in tanks and prepared to your preference. Signature dishes include salted‑egg squid, dry butter prawns, steamed flower crab, Sabah vege stir‑fried garlic, nyonya style curry fish and yam ring with chicken . Personally I think their dishes as both traditional and creative, often highlighting excellent seafood texture and presentation .

Service is generally courteous and efficient, with fast seating and attentive staff clearing and refilling as needed . Take note that booking ahead is wise, especially for the air‑con hall due to its popularity.

Prices in Tawau are considered above average locally (about RM 25–35 per person for typical seafood dishes), though many find the quality justifies the cost.
