    Side of toppings for Pho
    Grace O.

    This was my first time in Lobster & Pho and I was pleasantly impressed with my experience! I LOVE pho and so it was great to try a place so close by and not to have to go downtown to have a good bowl of pho. The portions and price were very good! The service was very fast. Almost so fast it felt a bit rushed but it was very good and quick. Big menu with a lot of options including seafood boils which was cool to see. I was there with a friend so I do wish they gave a bit more side toppings between the two of us but we asked for more jalapenos, and they brought some out to us happily. The place itself was VERY clean and tables were always being wiped down and cleaned. Staff was also friendly. I did not care for the potstickers they were a bit mushy for me and wish they did not come sitting in the sauce as that is probably why they were a bit mushy. I really like the special they had to add them with the pho for $1.50 or you could add a thai roll I believe for a $1 so thats awesome! Overall, I had a really great experience here and I will be back. Not sure if the pho itself beats a couple places off the top of my head downtown Cleveland but if I have a craving for pho and do not want to go too far this is awesome!

    Lamb Pho and strawberry boba

    They never miss for me. I probably go once a week. My favorites are the lamb pho and the shrimp pho.

    Chicken wings

    Finally! Authentic pho in the Cleveland area. I saw on my way in that they were listed on the top 100 places to eat in Cleveland, I have to say I agree! The pho was extremely good, coming from California. It's hard to beat Asian cuisine however this is a really great authentic option for fall. I will say, however, that my Thai tea was a bit disappointing. The tapioca Boba was overcooked, causing it to be wrinkly and dry instead of soft and chewy. I'm not incredibly upset about that because it is a common issue in the area. Lastly, the chicken wings were very good, especially dipped in their sweet-and-sour sauce, everything is made to order the service is very good, and to top it all off they have a full bar. I will definitely be returning and recommending this place too many people.

    had a great time and lobster and pho. a very unsuspecting spot in a strip mall, this seafood boil meal was a win! our drinks were great and water was refilled regularly. appetizers were done well as were our boils.we didn't get anything too spicy but probably could have. pro tip: request crab leg crackers, it will make things easier!!

    We ordered the R4 BBQ pork with rice. Everything on that plate was outstanding even the salads. The shrimp pho was just perfection. Loved that they allowed us to make it the right amount of spicy. The pot stickers with the pork bbq sauce it's a winning combo. Excellent service even close to closing time.

    Spring rolls
    Sarah Y.

    Finally found where to get a good and reasonably priced lobster roll in town! I meant to take my own pic, but devoured it instead, and theirs is accurate to what I received. The roll was perfect, the lobster was tasty, if a slightly different flavor profile due to use of Asian mayo. Good fries too (which also go well with the mayo, if you're inclined to ask for a side of it). Also Thai Boba tea and lovely huge spring rolls, yum! Did not expect to find this particular combination of my favorite things in one restaurant, but I'm not complaining!

    VERY spicy beef pho
    Mallory S.

    I work near this restaurant and, as a lover of pho, I made the short trip to try out their version of pho. The idea of lobster in it is very unique, but I stuck to my usual of beef at this visit. The decor is unassuming and the place was kind of dead when we came to visit for lunch one Friday. The waitress seemed a bit irritated we had come in at all. Anyway, I ordered the spicy beef pho, expecting a kick of course, but it seemed as though they knocked an entire jar of ghost peppers in my soup! It wasn't edible and the waitress wasn't thrilled to replace the broth with the normal one when I asked her to. I got it switched out in the end, but that level of spice didn't seem normal to me. Maybe I just got unlucky? Anyway, the price for the bowls are a bit higher than average even though the serving size is just average. I'd be willing to give this place another go but don't make a trek out here if it isn't close to you.

    Menu as of April 2024.

    The servings here are large and the food came out quickly! The photo of my beef pho is a bit misleading because I started chowing down before I snapped the picture. I'm definitely recommending a trip here before or after you catch a movie down the street at @cinemark at Valley View.

    Will come here once a year to enjoy the boil and it's so fun to do! The portions are reasonable for the price and the flavor is spot on.

    The food was done quickly, their spring rolls were delicious, and their lobster pho, while, for me, not a pho, was excellent.

Erin was our server and she was amazing, from beginning to end! We would come back just for her, but I know she works limited hours because she's busy being an epic artist! She let my dad tell her dad jokes and when he wanted to meet Leo (because he looks like Fish from Shoresy and my mom thought he was hot) they obliged which was truly going above and beyond (even if it made me and my sister a little awkward). The boudin balls were great! Very similar to New Orlean's verisons so that was great! We also tried the hot rocks which were also great! Our table tried both gumbos, the jambalaya and the crab cakes. All of which were delicious and the closest you'll find to NOLA style around here! For dessert my mom scored the last creme brulee which made her day and the rest of us had beignets. Their beignets are definitely not Cafe Beignet or Loretta's level, but they are still absolutely delicious as their own dessert, like a mix between a funnel cake and a beignet! Drinks were also amazing! It's one of like 3 places you can get a Pimms cup in Cleveland! They had a lot of other cool options and Sunday looks like it's usually an all day happy hour so we have to go back! And finally, I just have to note how beautiful the place is.

    I ordered the Ultimate from Lee's Seafood Boil in Cleveland, and it was missing several items I…read morepaid for -- fried calamari, extra sides of eggs, corn, and potatoes. I called to let them know, and the young male cashier who answered the phone acted like I was bothering him. He said he would "go ask the manager what to do," put me on hold, and then hung up on me. When I called back, he hung up again without saying anything. So I drove up there -- even though I didn't really have the time my because fiancé recently had surgery on his leg so I'm taking care of him-- and yet things got even worse. In person, the same cashier cut me off while I was speaking, told me to my face that I was wrong, and said he had already checked the order (which clearly wasn't true). When I tried to explain, he got loud, threw my receipt on the floor, and kept arguing with me in front of other customers. His tone, attitude, and behavior were unbelievably disrespectful and unprofessional. Thankfully, the manager stepped in, stayed calm, and offered to make the missing items for me -- which I appreciated but while speaking with him the cashier would interject with rude, condescending and callous remarks, trying to continue the argument. The cashier placed the bag on the counter and refused to even acknowledge me. He just stared away like I wasn't standing there. The manager saw this too, and ended up moving him to the back room and handing me the food himself. My little sister was also disrespected when she came in to pick up our initial order. He would say "I can't really help you" and would walk away to sit on his phone and put his feet up on the counter. How are you the cashier manning the counter and can't give someone their order?. He gave the same response to another lady as well. We usually go to the Lee's Seafood Boil in Solon. The food is amazing there and the customer service is some of the best I've ever had. While the one on Lee Rd is the exact opposite and they're extremely greasy in comparison. We will never be returning to the Lee Rd location and will forever stick with Lee's In Solon. Manager: 4/5 - respectful, professional, and made it right. Cashier: 0/5 - rude, dishonest, disrespectful, and completely out of line. This was one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. No one deserves to be treated like that. I won't be coming back unless serious changes are made -- starting with that cashier.

They made no effort to try and offer us any discounts or adjustments to the check after all the errors and rude behavior. Loud atmosphere, slow and poor service, bad management and, overpriced and subpar food. Save yourself from having your own bad experience at Russo's. I strongly recommend going elsewhere. I find it hard to believe our situation was an isolated incident.
