| - Ate lunch here today. Made a reservation for the 11:30am seating and it wasn't too busy. We ordered the lobster lunch special at $13.99/lb (we ordered 7lb). This comes with the fried rice, snow pea leaves, and dessert. In addition, we got 2.5lb of the Vancouver crab cooked in the ginger and scallion style. This was for four people. I've read a lot of complaints about upselling, but we didn't experience this at all. In fact, the waiter recommended we only get a 2.5lb crab (not larger) because we would have quite a bit of food from the lunch special.
They brought out both the crab and the lobster for us to see, and told us exactly how much they weighed and cost before confirming our order. They allow you to take a picture with them if you want, but that wasn't our thing so they were sent straight to the kitchen for cooking!
The crab was delicious! I've eaten a lot of lobster cooked with ginger and scallion, as it is one of my favourites, and this is definitely at the top. So good. The Hong Kong style lobster is new to me. Lived in Hong Kong for several years and never had it, but wow. It was absolutely delicious. It has a nice spicy flavour, but not overwhelming. The fried rice was also very good, using parts of the lobster for flavour. The snow peas with goji berry were cooked well, but may have been a little bland (or seemed so) due to the strong flavours from the other dishes.
All in all, everything tasted fresh and was cooked very well. We spent $195 (tax + tip included), so it's not bad for $50pp.
