My go to place for Chinese lobster. The new location is bigger. Parking lot has more spaces than the previous location. It can get busy there, so be strategic on when you go. Absolutely get lobster! I personally don’t care for the noodles with the lobster, they sometimes get soggy, so I just prefer lobster alone. The salt and pepper shrimps are one of my favorites. They have other great dishes too - clams with black bean sauce, filet mignon cubes, steamed whole fish, beef chow fun, etc.
I mean just look at the size of the plate. This is the medium. Can’t imagine how big is the large. It’s their signature and it deserves to be a signature. The lobster is very tender and juicy. If you want more of the sweeter taste then ask for no spice otherwise the spice will over take. I feel other dishes are not needed if this is the main dish for 2 to 3 people. But for a big fam, yeah go big or go home
As the name suggests, the signature dish here is the house special lobster. It is cooked Chinese-Vietnamese style, stir fried with scallions, green and black pepper, garlic, and a savory sauce with strong wok-hey flavor. Lobsters come at a minimum of 4 lb, so come hungry with a group! Add ye-mein noodles for $10 extra. You won't be able to experience giant lobster with this complex flavor profile at any typical Chinese restaurant.
Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 - ordered some of the most popular dishes! House special lobster sauce was spot on without being too salty. Unfortunately the noodles underneath were a bit over cooked and almost a bit mushy. The lobster felt over cooked as well since the shell was almost soft rather than us being able to crack it like usual. The basil clam sauce was good but some of the clams weren’t cooked all the way and one oozed green goo when pressed. Also ordered French style beef cube, salt & pepper pork chop, and pea sprouts. The veggies were a bit tough but the rest were great Ambience: 4/5 - typical asian restaurant with no frills or fancy decoration. When you walk in, there’s a fish tank with lobsters in it Service: 4/5 - there is a bit of a language barrier but when someone in the party switched to Cantonese, they were extremely friendly and happy to help. They came around to ask if we need plate changes twice Value for price: 3/5 - more expensive than other similar Chinese restaurants. We may have gotten in before lobster season really started but it’s quite pricey at $30 per pound
First time eating here and I really enjoyed the food. The lobster was good, but a little pricey. Everything else was excellent especially the shrimp fried rice. Place was a little small and compact and it was a little crowded when we went. The service was amazing and the staff came frequently to check in on us and to switch out the plates when it's full of shells. Because of the lobster and the fact that we ordered A LOT, it made the bill a little higher than normal, but it was worth it.
