| - This place is GREAT. This place has definitely become a staple for my family every time my parents come visit. The place is loud, rowdy, and crowded. It's hustling and bustling the moment you step in the door and see tanks filled with lobsters and king crabs surrounding the central dining room.
Definitely make a reservation, and try to arrive a little early.
Also, come during lunch -- it's much cheaper.
The star of the show at this place is the HK style lobster. It's a mountain of lobster, deep fried and rolled in some delicious garlic and chili sauce. One of the best parts of its dish is the fried little fish and pieces of garlic that make up the mountain!
We've been getting the B1 (i think, it's on one of the many menus they have) special, which is the HK lobster, stirfried veggies, and fried rice. Oh! And dessert. For a lobster 4-6lbs, i think it's $16.99/lb and if you get lobsters over 7lbs, it's $15.99/lb.
The 4 of us always get 7+lbs, and it's enough to eat another meal or 2 after the lunch, but it's a better deal and we can't help but want a massive lobster mountain to come at us!
After you order, they bring the animal up to you (alive) for you to see if the size is okay.. this is also an opportunity for some photos with the giant beasts.
Our meal ended up being just a bit over $150 (10% tip included in bill). for 4 people!! That's an almost 8lb lobster guys, for less than $40/person!!
Don't expect the service to be amazing -- at any 'traditional' chinese food place, it's all about the food, not the service -- they bring you your food, you ask for what you need, and they'll get it for you. They're very busy, so don't expect to be doted on.
Definitely come by and try the lobster mountain -- you won't regret it!!
