My mom and I visited the Fantacy Lobster House as it was near our house and saw there was a grand opening. When we first entered we were treated right away and the staff made answered all our questions about the menu! We got beef, Lobster fried rice, chili oil wontons and this free jelly dessert! The food was excellent it is an upscale Chinese restaurant so it is on the higher side of pricing. It's a nice fancy dinner experience I would love to go again and try new items! The interior was sooo cool! Loved the ornate details of the chess ceiling and gold decor!
My first impression was their decorations. From outside, inside and even restroom. Their foods are suppers and service was beyond excellent. Overall I would come back. Highly recommended
Want to be treated and filmed like a king? Come to this restaurant! It is such a unique experience dining here. We came here with a family of friend for dinner today. It looked gorgeous inside. Food was amazing as well! The cheese lobster is a must try. Adding some noodles to it will make it even better!
The restaurant has a fancy interior.The crab and lobster were fresh and delicious, good experience!
They use ai for everything, their menu, photos, ads, and they even have a giant video screen playing through different ai videos by their bathrooms. Lobster was not a great texture and the flavor was just as bad. The fried rice wasn't awful. We also found what looks like mold in our water. I wish you could see it clearer in the photo, but it was a gray fuzzy thing floating around. Our server was nice though so there's that.
We went here because it was new and wow Chinese lobster! Service was friendly and very helpful, all the workers were nice. But I'm here to talk about the food and the food was not good. The lobster was expensive for being such a small lobster. I grew up in the 626 where the lobsters were bigger for what you pay for. Maybe they should charge by lb for the lobster like other Chinese lobster places in order to make it more fair
Elegant, grand, regal and golden are words that come to mind to describe Fantacy Lobster House. The minute you walk down the red carpet and through their front entrance, you'll be treated to distinctively premium Chinese decor, private rooms, robot servers, and light shows (only at night). We were pleasantly surprised to be greeted by Rian during our visit since we knew him from Classic Chinese Restaurant. Our server, Felicia, was extremely friendly and attentive. They have an extensive and oft evolving menu that centers around their specialty - lobster. We tried a number of their dishes, most of which are featured in my photos. I highly recommend their lobster dumplings and lobster fried rice (we were told they use rice grains from overseas that produce a chewier texture). Everything else ordered was delicious with the exception of the New Orleans Style Grilled Chicken Wings which were a bit too sweet for my liking. We were also unexpectedly treated to a light show in the main dining room. If you fancy yourself a gaudy dining experience, I recommend a visit to Fantacy Lobster House in Foothill Ranch.
The food here is actually pretty good. The pak choi was well seasoned and cooked well. The black pepper lobster was also incredibly tasty. The beef dish had really good flavor and was very tender. The fried rice also had good flavor, but the texture was kind of weird? The whole experience threw me off a little bit. I walked in and was overwhelmed by all the gold. Service was friendly and efficient, but I would by lying if I said I was expecting an experience similar to other Chinese restaurants (ie Chinese servers, menus with Chinese characters,.... Chopsticks). My impression is that this is a Chinese restaurant geared towards non Chinese. They do have private rooms which is a plus! Food and service were good, the only reason I'm only giving 3 stars is I feel like the value proposition was not there. The portions were on the smaller side.
My MIL wanted to go here for her bday, and they pulled out all the stops for her. As a big party of 12, we were seated in a private room, which was nice as we had littles with us that can be contained instead of running rampant through the restaurant as they're inclined to do. There was also a large screen tv that also posed as karaoke machine (alas, Chinese music only) with a lovely huge couch for the littles to hang out on while the adults took their time with food and chatting. And the service - let me tell you, my MIL is VERY demanding of wait staff (sending dishes back if there was some stray bean sprouts in the noodles that she specifically asked to have removed - I would have just picked them out, asking for only half of her cup to be filled with ice) and our guy took every one of her demands with grace and patience. Food was delicious, had traditional Asian flavors, and there's stuff on the menu outside of the lobster for anyone that may have allergies to shellfish. For additional entertainment, they also have a light show with music in the main restaurant that's definitely a spectacle to behold, with everything in ornate golden decor and a giant golden throne in the middle for photo ops. Replete with music and animatronic flowers opening and closing in the walls!
We came to check out a new place in Foothill Ranch, where Denny's used to be. Unlike other restaurants in the area, Fantacy Lobster House is decorated in glistening gold (plated?) everywhere you turn your eyes. We were the only party when we arrived. To our surprise, several parties came in after us, filling up the place. Service was slow today as Ryan was the only server on duty and he did his very best to take care of everyone. It is currently in the soft opening period. I expect the service will get better by its grand opening in April. We ordered a lobster roll among 3 other dishes. Ryan explained to us there is only 1 roll per order, not 2 as on the menu. Lobster served are all Boston lobsters. I enjoyed what we ordered but their prices are certainly on the high end. The number of tables in the seating area is limited, but it does have 2 rooms for private parties. For anyone wants to check it out in person, my recommendation is to come for dinner as it has a laser show nightly at 6:50, 7:50, & 8:50pm.
Perfect spot for the rich Chinese wives of Irvine to gather for lunch. Probably the most beautiful Chinese restaurant in America with gold decor with reasonably priced dishes like my favorite crab roe tofu.
We've been to countless Chinese restaurants, have traveled all over the world, and have even lived in Asia, so it takes a lot to really surprise us -- and this place definitely did! First of all, the décor is GOLD, GOLD, and MORE GOLD! The gold bars are absolutely in your face, but honestly, that's what made it so fun and different. It's definitely not your typical Chinese restaurant, and we loved the over-the-top, glamorous vibe. We celebrated my dad's birthday here and the entire evening was nothing short of spectacular. The service was fantastic -- our server was so attentive and thoughtful. They even surprised my dad with a special noodle soup served inside a peach for his birthday! Such a fun and memorable touch. And the FOOD! We ordered the lobster vermicelli, tofu with crab roe, sesame honey chicken, lobster dumplings, lotus vegetables, Dan Dan noodles, two orders of chicken, and so many other dishes that I'm probably forgetting! Everything was delicious, but that sesame honey chicken was SO good! And we have to talk about dessert! Their fruit and jelly desserts were refreshing, light, and not overly sweet, which was the perfect way to finish such a big meal. Overall, this was such a fun, unique, and memorable dining experience. If you're looking for something beyond the typical Chinese restaurant experience, just come and try it! The gold, the food, the service, the presentation -- it's all part of the experience.
This brand new Chinese restaurant oozes elegance. It's such a gorgeous space that's perfect for banquets and parties, with private rooms and a spacious dining room that can accommodate groups. We went early on a weekday to enjoy a special lunch date. We shared: Red Curry Lobster Lobster & Pork Bao Pork Belly with Steamed Pancakes The bao are so juicy and oozing with lobster flavor. The lobster curry was so rich and flavorful, and paired nicely with udon. The pork belly had a touch of spice, and it was fun making little wraps. They have a pretty extensive menu with multiple ways of preparing lobster, but they have plenty of non-seafood options as well, so if you're planning for a group dinner you're covered. They have something for every palate here, and the service is amazing.
Reviews are largely positive. Many praise the fresh, flavorful seafood, unique menu options, and ornate gold decor.

We tried Fantacy Lobster House for the first time today for lunch and they did not disappoint! Price point is standard for an upscale Chinese restaurant. The decor is beautiful and the restaurant is very clean. Service was prompt, polite, and lovely. We love spicy food, so when we asked for spice, it was perfect and gave a good kick! We ordered the mushroom salad, spicy stir fried beef belly, Dan Dan noodles with spicy beef, a large spicy fried chicken, pan fried lobster dumplings(the dipping sauce is 10/10 delicious! Filling is juicy and the wrapper isn't overly fried), and lobster fried rice( one fellow working told us they shop this rice especially from China because it's not produced her in the States!) Every dish had complex flavor and was not overly oily. Will definitely come back again! We plan to try the sets the next time we come. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by Fantacy Lobster house. Ambiance and decor: I had seen the pics of what some (including myself) would think as gaudy over the top gold decor, but over the course of the meal, it grew on me. The chess pieces on the ceiling was unique. The AI generated video was entertaining for my kid. Service: excellent. The owners greeted us when we arrived, wearing his jogging suit . The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. Food: great. I really enjoyed the food. Lobster with garlic bread. Lobster dumplings. Pork wrap. Garlic veges. Shrimp with vermicelli. The veges were a bit bland but everything else was good. I particularly enjoyed the pork wrap and lobster dumplings. Price: reasonable. Most dishes were around 20, with the exception of whole lobster and crab. I would definitely go again. read more

Chinese restaurant Specializes in lobsters dishes as well as crabs and other seafood. We were amazed by the interior decor the moment we walked inside. Lobby is as glamorous as a Chinese palace even with an emperors chair two VIP rooms features private karaoke systems and mahjong table. During dinner time amazing light shows are performed every hour! With Chinese folk music, Feel like we are in China We ordered Lobster dumplings were freshly made Lobster roll with fries were popular among kids Crab hot pot has tons of seafood: shrimps abalones, oysters mussels, plus mushrooms and corn Soy sauce stir-fried peas Their famous fried rice uses special rice imported directly from China which does not raise your sugar level. read more

We went to the grand opening of the Fantasy Lobster house celebrating my friends birthday! She was amazed at the decor so took the adventure from Long Beach to a little past Irvine! Though it was in a shopping center, the restaurant was placed at the rear of the center! Beautifully decorated! Perfect for pictures/ selfies! Down side was the limited variation in the menu and the birthday girl didn't get her food for almost an hour ( and it wasn't busy) ! Disappointed but we eventually took a lot of food home! They need more workers! read more
