Kirin is the best place to have this hands down.

They don't cheat you on the weight plus they make it good.
Personally, I find steamed with garlic the best. You can have it steamed with egg whites, which it's definitely not as tasty as the one with garlic as the taste is a little bland. You can also request to fry it with the spicy seasoning which is great also.
Usually when we eat it, we ask for them to have 1 crab 3 eats... What this means is that half of it it's steamed with garlic, the other half is fried with the spicy seasoning as mentioned above.
The sauce that is left over from the steamed is used to mix it with noodles and also served to the guests. The head shell is used to create a plate of seafood rice which contains scallops, small shrimps, and some kind of yellow sauce (forgot what it's called).
Hope that helps! It's in season right now so it's relatively cheap, around $15 per pound at Kirin.
