| - I had to see what the hype was about - and like my fellow Yelpers have mentioned, the lobster is no joke. It is very expensive, the lobsters are huge, and maybe slightly overrated, but damn the lobster dinners are definitely up there.
Service was good and attentive. They replace your shell-filled dishes several times throughout dinner. And although a popular restaurant, they don't give you pretentious attitude like other Chinese restaurants do.
Lobster cooked 4 ways: steamed (hardcore lobster fans will enjoy this), Maggi sauce (for people who enjoy their salt fix), fried (makes it more interesting for the usually less desirable lobster parts), and fried rice (taking the usually yucky remnants into something delicious and edible). It is definitely very smart to use all parts of the lobster this way as you don't get sick of one monotonous taste.
I am not a lobster fan. Nor a seafood fan. But I still enjoyed the taste and can still appreciate the meal. If you are a die-hard lobster fan, look no further - save your money and come here. If you're like me, it will still convert you to a fan. Be prepared to splurge (ie. $200+ bill) and go in a large party (smallest lobster is ~6-7 lbs)
I will return on an off-season month (typically $23.95/lb during March, August - October, while $20.95/lb other "off-period" months). Jennifer K provided an excellent tip - you may receive a small discount if you pay cash!
