The menu at Crab Hot Lau features a variety of Northern Vietnamese and seafood dishes, with a particular focus on specialty hot pots and pho. It is organized into several key sections to facilitate easy selection.

Appetizers and Light Bites: This section includes items such as the square Crab Spring Rolls, which are golden and crispy rolls filled with crab meat, shrimp, pork, and shiitake mushrooms. These starters are typically served with homemade fish sauce and fresh herbs, available in full or half orders.

Hot Pot: The hot pot offerings highlight the Rice Field Crab Hotpot, a signature dish inspired by traditional Bánh Đa Cua Đồng. It consists of a rich crab broth with crab roe, crispy pork fat, fried shallots, and a variety of accompaniments including red rice noodles, fish cakes, pork wrapped in lolot leaves, and seasonal vegetables. This section may include variations based on available toppings.

Main Dishes and Pho: The menu also features classic pho selections such as Northern Vietnamese beef pho, along with grilled and vermicelli dishes like BBQ pork vermicelli and grilled squid. Other notable dishes include crab cakes and fish hot pot, showcasing the focus on seafood and regional specialties.

Desserts and Drinks: For lighter options, dessert drinks like Milk Skin Yogurt offer a creamy, slow-fermented yogurt option made from whole milk and cream without preservatives. Traditional Vietnamese dessert selections are also available to complement the meal.

The menu is suitable for a range of dining occasions, from casual meals to quick takeout orders, offering both individual dishes and shareable hot pots. It combines seafood-focused entries with Northern Vietnamese culinary staples, catering to different preferences throughout the day.
