Always a classic Chinese/Vietnamese seafood restaurant. You really can't go wrong with this place. They have a big selection of fresh seafood and a variety of dishes that would suit the whole family. They also offer good value meal sets. The restaurant is good for big parties/events or just a simple dinner. There's adequate parking, but it can be difficult during the weekends.

This place is a solid place if you’re trying to get good food on the table for a lot of people at one time. The service is not the greatest and the place needs some fixing up because of water leaking. Other than that they are capable of handling large parties and dishing out good food.

This is my first time dining in at their new location. Parking is very easy. They have a lot of space behind the restaurant. I got here at 2pm, and the restaurant was not very busy. I was seated right away. I ordered a small house special lobster with noodles. The plate was huge. The lobster meat is very flavorful, fresh, and tender. The server also brought us rice. I asked for mild spiciness, and would suggest medium next time. We could not finish all the food, and have to pack them to-go. It was a little pricy in my opinion. However, it worth the money you paid. Service was prompt, and server changed our plates when he saw our plate was full of lobster shells. The server offered us oranges slices at the end of the meal. I will come back again.

We were delighted to discover an abundance of parking. The interior design was modern and spacious. The restaurant featured aquariums with live lobsters and fish, and complimentary tea service was provided. During my initial visit, I savored the white rice and vegetables. My wife particularly enjoyed the shrimp walnut dish. The house specialty lobster dish boasted impressive flavor, albeit with slightly firm lobster meat. The noodles, conversely, were delightfully soft.

The best food I’ve had in a long time! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone and would definitely come back when I visit the LA area again.

Very crowded place here, we needed to wait to get a table. With High expectations for the food, I personally was disappointed with the food and service. The lobster 🦞 wasn't tasty, took over 20 minutes to receive the plates. It's my personal review and this it was a one visit to this place. Enjoy your visit!

Went here for the third time with coworkers for lunch. The food never disappoints. Obligatory lobster was ordered and was very tasty. I had the squid for the first time and it tasted AMAZING. Something to come back for. Always love eating family-style, especially at Boston Lobster.
