“ Came here for the first time with my family today and we had such a great experience! We didn't have a reservation on a Saturday night, but we were able to get a table relatively quickly. We ordered about 5-6 dishes and ate family style. My personal favorite was the salt and pepper fried calamari, but the shaken beef (bò lúc lắc) was delicious as well. I've noticed other similar restaurants with the same dishes tend to over season their dishes, or douse the meat in sauce, but almost everything here was cooked to perfection. The only thing that could have been better is if our honey walnut shrimp and peking pork chop came out on time -- it seems they may have forgotten about those dishes and rushed to get them out as soon as possible, which ended up affecting the overall quality of the dish. We will definitely be coming again. Not only was the food amazing, but the atmosphere and ambiance was great as well. I loved the decorations inside and the overall vibe of the restaurant -- classy, but very homey and nostalgic. ”
“ One of my favorite Chinese restaurants! The kung pao chicken is my go to here. Good flavor and lots of chicken. They have a great lunch special. Dishes at $12.95 and $13.95 good value for this economy. Got 2 dishes with basil sauce. The clams and the fish. The clams tasted fresh and had a good size for most of them. Fish was hot and has a light crust. Lots of aromatics from the garlic and basils on these dishes. Great service here. Changed plates mid way through the meal and helped bagged the left overs. Gave a plate of oranges at the end. They got some Valentine's Day decoration here which is a nice touch. ”
“ This is my first time dining in at their new location. Parking is very easy. They have a lot of space behind the restaurant. I got here at 2pm, and the restaurant was not very busy. I was seated right away. I ordered a small house special lobster with noodles. The plate was huge. The lobster meat is very flavorful, fresh, and tender. The server also brought us rice. I asked for mild spiciness, and would suggest medium next time. We could not finish all the food, and have to pack them to-go. It was a little pricy in my opinion. However, it worth the money you paid. Service was prompt, and server changed our plates when he saw our plate was full of lobster shells. The server offered us oranges slices at the end of the meal. I will come back again. ”
“ Good food and good service. Came here for lunch with my extended family to celebrate CNY. Place was a full house. Line out the door before they were even open. Would definitely recommend trying this spot if you're in the mood for lobster and crab. Stay away from the black pepper beef, i've had better elsewhere. ”
“ We're here today for my sister's birthday and OMG food & service are both excellent . We ordered the large platter of lobster, Steamed Tiger Grouper fish, Bo luc lac, salt & pepper pork chops, seafood fried noodles, steamed Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce and started with the Crab with Fish Maw soup....very delicious banquet!!!!! With both fried and steamed rice...the service was excellent and fast.... ”
“ Food was DELICIOUS. I was alone and able to eat a crab by myself with plenty of noodles to take home. Initially, went in for the Boston lobster but I would not be able to eat that portion alone. Overall SO glad I tried this option. The noodles are absolutely delicious, FULL of flavor & the texture and size of the noodles are my favorite. I'd go again, and again. The service was good , my food came with hot tea and fruit! ”
“ I came here for Dinner on Thursday night and there was no wait, plenty of seats still available around 6:30 pm. This spot is quite roomy and there are plenty of tables to host larges amounts of people. I came with 6 people and we ordered family style. Personally the set meals didn't look too good so we decided on getting lobster with a few other dishes ala carte. These are my thoughts. Lobster with garlic noodles - Wow this was bomb. A must get here and definitely add the noodles. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. (5/5) Walnut Shrimp - Loved this, it was delicious and it's what you'd expect it to be. Good flavors. (5/5) Seafood Tofu Sticky Soup - I really liked this one as well. Came super hot and everything went well together. (5/5) French Style Beef Cube - Tender and oh so flavorful. This was well done. (5/5) Clams - These were good overall. Flavors are simple but delicious. (4/5) Sauteed Small Pea Sprout - A delicious veggie to add to the table. Soft and packed with flavor. Not overly salty which was perfect. (4.5/5) Deep Fried Tofu - They said this was the top sell for tofu and it's obvious. Perfectly fried with a nice soy sauce based sauce. (4.5/5) Oranges - They gave us oranges at the end but they lacked flavor. Free nonetheless. (2/5) Overall, service here was surprisingly top notch. They were attentive and even came around to change out our plates often since there was a lot of lobster shells. This is a pretty pricey spot especially if you end up getting lobster. I think we paid around $300 for 6 people so definitely come for special occasions. A great spot for delicious Chinese/Vietnamese food! Parking - They have a lot, its not super large so I can see it filling up on the weekends though when I came on a weekday there was plenty of spots still open. ”
“ Boston Lobster is Chinese seafood with Vietnamese/Southeast Asian influences style. The star here is their lobster with garlic noodles. It has moved to a better location so now it's more clean and spacious. The decoration is very nostalgic with old photos of well known Chinese cities on the wall. The food is authentic and delicious. Service is attentive, server comes by every once in a while to refill tea and water as well as changing our plates. We enjoyed every dish that we ordered, the lobster was so savory with the garlic noodles. You will not be disappointed if you're a lobster lover. The Fish Maw Soup also very tasty and it's even better with some red vinegar. The beef dish is tender, juicy and flavorful. Basil Fish Filet is one of our must order dish here, the basil gave it a lot of flavor, so delish! Our family has been eating here for many years and the taste is always delicious. ”
