I think this might be one of the best lobster rolls I’ve had!! We tried both the Butter Lobster Roll & the Signature Lobster Roll and I am team Signature all the way. The Vietnamese touch of nước chấm enhances the flavors divinely! And in full honesty, it just makes my lil Viet heart happy ♡

The best lobster roll I've ever eaten in my life! The chips had a unique seasoning, which was great! I would definitely eat here again the next time I'm in NYC.

Definitely the best seafood place to go in Manhattan! The Lobster Roll is the best I ever had, also happy hour dollar oysters, crab caviar and lobster garlic noodle are amazing! Service is very good. Perfect for an afternoon drink and dinner with friends. Great value for money.

They have some interesting takes on lobster rolls here and I really enjoyed the signature roll. Nice chunky bits of lobster and I really enjoyed all the toppings.

★★★★★ 5.0 Uyen Nguyen · Dec 2023

Really good asian-style seafood place. The lobster roll is really delicious, and the seasoning of the fries is to die for: a little sweet, sour, and salty. The crab fried rice is pretty good as well. Another highlight of dinner is the deep fried octopus with coconut milk-based sauce. It tastes just like ốc len xào dừa. Monkfish is also yummy. The meat skewers are normal. Dessert is okay. Watermelon slush is quite good. Service is good. Although the servers forgot/messed up our order 2-3 times, they apologized at the end and gave us complimentary desserts.
