Not sure why this place is called Boston Lobster, but this outstanding restaurant in the San…read moreGabriel Valley focuses on Cantonese and Vietnamese flavors. Their signature dish - their "house special lobster"- is the most flavorful preparation of lobster that one can have. The lobster is fried and the juicy bites of meat is layered with garlic, green onions, and sweetness. If you're lucky, you might get some roe, which gives extra salinity. An order of lobster presently costs $34/lb and a "small lobster" will weigh 3-4 lbs; therefore, I only order this signature dish for special occasions. Even if you don't want lobster, don't fret as the rest of the menu is equally delicious. Their "yang chow fried rice", crab and fish maw soup, beef loc lac, and clams with basil sauce are all personal favorites. I love their lunch specials as their entrees come with rice, but at a slightly lower price. The food is top notch, and it brings amazing Vietnamese and Cantonese flavors to this location in the San Gabriel Valley. For a special occasion with my wife or with a group, this is always a winning pick.

First time at Boston Lobster on Lower Azusa Road and I was impressed!…read more I went with my son for a one-year-old's birthday party and somehow managed to arrive an HOUR late ‍. Thankfully, they were incredibly gracious and accommodating when we showed up. The food is served family style, so we got to sample a little bit of everything. The filet mignon medallions were delectable--tender, flavorful, and perfectly marinated. And the Lobster Noodles! This was my first time trying them and they absolutely delivered. The lobster was cut and fried in a way that made the meat tucked inside the shell really easy to get to, which made the whole experience so enjoyable. And that gravy... I was literally sucking on the lobster shell trying to get every last bit. So, so good. We also had a stir-fried green vegetable--possibly watercress--and it was delicious. Simple, savory, and cooked just right. I loved having something fresh and green alongside all the richer dishes. Great food, warm service, and such a fun meal to share with a group. I'll definitely be back.

Didn't realize this, but they will prepare the items for you like take the abalone out of the shell and clean the geoduck for you so all I had to do was slice and eat. Saw them doing the same for some fish, which was cool. Be sure to tip them if they do prep for you. Prices seemed reasonable to high, but considering my favorites are difficult to find, price was really no object. I wish I didn't have such expensive taste or I'd be back weekly :). Language is a bit of a barrier but can get by with pointing and basic English. Pro tip: ample parking in back or street parking right up front.

For appetizers, we ordered the fried calamari with the dipping sauce, which was delicious. I also had a sangria, and it was so refreshing! For our meals, I ordered the Pan Roast with chicken and sausage, served with white rice. It was so flavorful and came with a generous portion. I ended up sharing it with my son because there was so much food! My husband and my son both ordered the jambalaya, and we all really enjoyed our meals. Everything was delicious and satisfying. The customer service was excellent. The staff were very attentive and kept checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed and that we were enjoying our food. That always makes a dining experience even better. The restaurant itself is cozy and nicely decorated, with a DJ playing music. The music was more for the younger generation I'm definitely old school! but it still added a fun atmosphere to the evening. The decor is really nice, and I especially noticed how clean the bathrooms were, which is always a big plus for me. Overall, we had a wonderful birthday dinner, enjoyed the food, and felt very well taken care of. Definitely a place we would come back to!

They are located in the same plaza as CVS, Tam's Noodle House and Dim Sum Box. There was sufficient amount of private parking for the plaza. When we first arrived, there was a lot of seats open. The staff was friendly and welcoming and said we can sit anywhere we would like. Phuong and Dat helped us the entire night and the service was fantastic. I recommend coming early because they did get busy and by the time we left every table was filled. The energy here is definitely upbeat and a great place to hang and catch up with friends. We had an incredible feast and would come back to reorder all of the dishes we tried this visit and more: Goi Xoai Muc ($15.99) - Mango salad with squid. Very light and refreshing. This is an unripe mango thinly cut and mixed in with traditional Vietnamese herbs. It also comes with some shrimp chips to funnel up this delicious salad. Oc Mong Tay Mo Hanh ($18.99) - Razor clams grilled with scallion oil. One of the least flavorful items by compare. Both my friend and I felt like the scallion oil was very light on these razor clams but enjoyed it with the sauces from other dishes. Oc Mo Bo Toi ($24.99) - Fat snails prepared garlic butter style. Delicious. These bigger snails makes them easier to pick them out with the skewers they serve this with. Ngheu Xao Bo Toi ($16.99) - Clams prepared garlic butter style. Yum. Juicier compared to the snails and absorbs the sauce well. The clam shell makes it easy to scoop up the sauce and drink it. Oc Len Xao Dua ($16.99) - Sea snails in a coconut milk sauce. One of my favorites but I know it's one of the more difficult ones to eat, cause you'll have to suck on it really hard to get the snail out. But the sauce is delicious and unique. So Diep Trung Cut ($15.99) - Scallops with quail eggs. Highly recommended by staff, They mentioned this was a popular dish. Very decadent. It was a smidge too much food for 2 people but when I asked my friend if she would remove anything, she mentioned it was all a good variety for the meal. Next time we'll need to come back with more friends to try more of their dishes.

There are private rooms in the back on request if you have a larger party and seafood is always fresh as they have an aquarium with lobsters, crab, geoduck, and fish. The decor is charming with vintage trinkets along the side of the wall. There is a waiting area by the lobby and restrooms in the back of the restaurant.

But as for the food itself, the standouts would be the fried shrimp and the lobster. The shrimp is perfectly fried and I enjoy how soft the shell is. I like the lobster alot too. I personally prefer the way it's prepared at Henry's, but Newport's is still pretty decent. For the most part, the food is overloaded with MSG. Each time I've gone or taken food to go, I feel massively dehydrated after that I get a headache if I don't drink enough water. Luckily the staff was pretty on top of refilling our waters, and they often switched out our plates for clean ones. We've been going for years, and they used to allow substitutions for the set menu. But on a recent visit, this didn't seem like it was a thing anymore.

The parking lot was extremely full, but we were able to find parking on the street and walked over to the front of the restaurant. We came at a busy hour, but they sat us down right away and we got a chance to sit with the menu. Some of their stuff was sold out, but we managed to get items that we really wanted to try since they served dim sum items as well as lunch specials and à la carte plates of food. I like how we were able to pick what kind of complimentary hot tea we wanted and out of the six options I picked Jasmine. I picked the dim sum items and my husband got something from their lunch specials and selected the fried rice. As each item came to the table, they checked off a receipt that listed the items we had ordered, just like other dim sum places do. Not going to lie, all the food tasted great with the Fried Rice with Diced Chicken & Salty Fish and Steamed Rice Noodle with Shrimp being my top faves. The rice was just really tasty and I didn't notice the salty fish in it till I bit into a piece of one and the chicken wasn't dry. The rice noodle with the shrimp was soft and the sauce with it wasn't overwhelming. I was surprised with the dumpling and pork buns because they were also not too dry and the truffle wasn't overpowering. The Spare Ribs in Black Bean Sauce did come at the end of me stuffing my face, but I tried two pieces and it was really good. We ended up taking a bunch of leftovers and my husband got a chance to talk to our server while I went to the restroom and he was excited for us being our first time here and when my husband told him we plan to come back and we really do want to! Next time I want to try: - Seafood Congee - Radish Cake - Pork BBQ Bun - Chicken Feet - Roasted Duck

I usually place an order through their Instagram DMs a few weeks in advance for holidays. You can ask for their excel spreadsheet and they'll send it to you with prices and this same spreadsheet updates every year! There is also a little deposit for holiday pick up depending on the size of your order. Their sashimi platter is beautiful, fresh, delicious, and always a party favorite. I usually get: Salmon, Toro, Yellowtail, Scallops, and Oysters. If available, uni trays and fresh wasabi (which can also be picked up at HMart). Scallops are my favorite but every piece of fish is so good and cut perfectly. Parking and pick up is easy. It is a very small store front with one party inside at a time and pay at the counter.

So let's start with this happened last month 9/5/26 I was/am…read morethe MOH so I had first hand experience in all of this My best friend rented this venue for her wedding The person she was talking to Daniel pretty much promised her the world to get her and fiance (now husband) to get to sign the contract. He lied about the drink prices he stated that they were going to be $8 per drink but went over $14 the of the event. The food portions were small and when they went to the tasting they didn't get to try what they were told they were going to get to try. So they had to guess what to serve for the day for the wedding. Daniel kept ignoring/ not answering Desiree calls or text even when they had planned meetings for walk through and payments dates but when it comes for the grooms calls or text Daniel answered like nothing. The day for one of the scheduled payments in person Daniel didn't answer call or text from Desiree at all but did answer the groom keep in mind they both( Bride and groom) had to take time off from work to come down and make the payment and Daniel coincidentally was on vacation. He didn't bother to mention or reschedule this meeting at all. What management does this to a paying client!!!!!!!!!!! Now for the day of the wedding They were promised the venue was going to be opened by 8 am to be able to decorate. That was another LIE. The place was a mess. Pictures provided. The linens didn't get there til way later than promised/said. So decorating the tables made it harder than needed to be. The women's restrooms were disgusting, no toilet paper, seat covers, and the doors locks were/are broken. It was so hot at night that no one wanted to be inside the venue, most people left early or stayed outside because the AC was either not working properly or turned off. As a bride/wife myself and also a DIY wedding trying to save cost when possible but I see when people are taking advantage of others as a cash grab and that's what this venue/Daniel did Also before I forget they took/downloaded videos of the wedding from the brides personal account without permission and consent to show how it turned out. It turned out that way because of the wedding party, family and friends NOT THE VENUES HELP AT ALL!!!!!!! Like that said there are 2 sides of every story. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION AT ALL FOR ANY EVENTS!!!!! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!

For the price of food and the amount you get, I can't complain! The flavor of their own seafood boil sauce (boom sauce?) is a standard seafood boil flavor, it's legit. The flavors don't overwhelm you and make you wanna go to the toilet right away, you know what I mean? The family pack comes with 3 corn on the cob, 3 sausage pieces and 3 potatoes (like a medium sized potato!) it was good but I wish the seafood had time to sit in the sauce, you can tell the food was dumped on the sauce. We had to fight to scoop some sauce onto our mussels cause the bag was so full of food- what a good problem to have. Maybe the sauce is a bit thin? Maybe that's why it didn't stick to the food? Service was good, the ladies were attentive and professional. The decor looked like this place was known to be a bar- I mean there's a huge bar to the side. There's even a second floor but no one was seated there so it doesn't look used. Cute decor with the sea theme. Not happy about their toilet in the women's restroom. There's a a sign saying to please not dispose the toilet seat covers in the toilet cause it could clog it up. I was being a nice person and went to the trouble of respecting their wishes. It was gross as I was being careful not to touch the peed parts of the toilet seat cover. Don't judge me, only God can judge me! Come here to feed your family and friends at a very reasonable price! And if you're a lady you're gonna have to hover while you pee if you don't want to deal with the toilet seat cover disposal issue...
