I came here all the time, but it will be my last time tonight, I came with one of my friend, the guy who helped us was kind of helpless and unfriendly, he keeping asked the people sitting behind us, but never asked us, maybe he doesn't like Chinese even he is Chinese too, when we asked for the check, he put 18% tips without asking us, I was so mad, I usually gave 15% above tips, but the way he did makes me mad, that's impolite. We still gave end up with 18% tips, but I'll never come back again

Was craving some lobster, duck and veggies and we bit the jackpot when we ate here. The place was packed with dinner patrons but the friendly owner found us a table and we were seated in a matter of minutes. First, ice cold beers to refresh us after a day in the Hawaiian sunshine. We placed our order with a pleasant server who suggested a smaller sized lobster if we were having additional dishes. Next we ordered the half Peking Duck which comes conveniently sandwiched in Mandarin style buns instead of the usual crepes. The stir fried watercress was cooked perfectly with garlic and a slightly spicy sauce. Everything went absolutely perfect with bowls of white steamed rice. Perhaps a half a dish too much for two but no complaints as the taste of each dish was wonderful.It was nice to see that the popularity, atmosphere and taste of this favorite spot of ours hadn't changed in four years since our last visit. Will definitely return and hopefully much sooner next time.

Surprisingly, Lobster King has chefs who can cook seafood cuisines as fantastic as those offered in Chinese restaurants in Vancouver, Canada. I was a visitor from Vancouver, Canada. I dined in this restaurant three evenings and met a new friend. I felt home here!

I have ordered live lobster with them at least a dozen times, but today is the second time they use lobster from yesterday to cook for my delivery order. They are not fresh and taste sour. Had to throw the entire order away after only one taste.

Definitely get the golden crab, golden shishamo, roast pork, Peking duck, and garlic ong choy. Finish with the bread pudding and ice cream. Love this place, my family comes here a lot and now I come here w my friends. Say hi to the Queen of the Lobster Kingdom while you're there.

Men’s bathroom smelled like fresh human feces on two separate day occasions during this weekend. You wash your hands and must dry them on your pants. Then door knob on the way out is dripping wet where others also could not dry their hands. Make you want to puke. Wonder how kitchen was? Probably the same.

Had lobster, steamed fish, sizzling beef, chow main and stir fried beans. Everything was excellent and very tasty. Spacious dining space that is adequate for comfort. Good service.

Great experience, wonton soup is good, lobster in garlic butter and salt & pepper crab are my favorite, also had the pudding bread and ice cream.

Lobster is the best!! Three ways to cook a lobster - soup, sashimi and salt and pepper. Don’t miss out this place for authentic Chinese food.

One of best down to earth to go to regularly & great hours...all hold would give 4.5 stars...Very good...prices keep going but wait earns it good tip. up...won't see tourists and their luck, a right place maybe best corner in all of town for a mid priced restaurant that's relaxed but efficient & parking easy. Chinese with a taste of Korean. Staff tends to stay.Normal local like Dew Drop Inn.Get free Kim cheer up front & has beer & wine.Ask for snow peas with main course.Disposal place near front door in rear at free parking needs them to build a wooden shed around it.
