Crab Rangoon in Downtown Winnipeg
Crab rangoon is the starter that shows up in review after review of Shaba Thai Cuisine. Crisp wonton parcels are folded around a creamy crab and cream-cheese filling, fried until golden and served with a sweet chili dipping sauce. Order a plate for the table before your curry or noodles arrive.
About Our Crab Rangoon
Crab rangoon is a beloved Thai-American appetizer: a wonton wrapper filled with crab, cream cheese, green onion and seasoning, pinched into a little pouch and deep-fried. The contrast between the crackly shell and the warm, creamy centre is what makes it so hard to stop at one.
At Shaba Thai Cuisine it is the first thing many guests order, often alongside our shrimp rice rolls, before moving on to Pad Thai and green curry. Google reviewers describe the full experience as the best Thai food they have had in Winnipeg, and crab rangoon is a big part of that first impression.
What Makes Our Crab Rangoon Special
Each order is fried fresh so the wrappers are crisp and blister-light, never greasy. The filling is generously portioned, like everything at Shaba, and the sweet chili sauce adds just enough tang to cut the richness.
Pairs Well With
Build an appetizer spread with rice rolls and vegetable spring rolls, then follow with Pad Thai or green curry, the same combination our reviewers rave about.

“This is the best Thai food I’ve had in Winnipeg! The portions are so big & the flavours are so so good! We had the crab rangoons, green curry, coconut rice, & the pad Thai. The service was amazing and the lady that runs it is the kindest woman ever, such a great experience. Definitely coming back!!”

“My new favourite in Winnipeg! We started with the Panang dip with fried naan. The dip was delicious - somewhat sweet and coconuty; paired with the crispy naan, it was a definite win. I followed it with the peanut butter stir fry with tofu…”
