Enjoying a takeaway lunch from Lobster Bay with family. Something for everyone! We especially enjoyed the Yee Mien (noodles). The fish with vegetables was also delicious. Rice is included with the lunch special order. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. read more

I came here with my family once again, and they were busy on a Saturday at noon. However, we got seated immediately. A big party reserved a section of the restaurant, and our server notified us that the kitchen was busy. Their deals also seemed to attract many others. We ordered dishes, including chicken chow mein, mustard greens with black mushrooms, and braised bean curd with brown sauce. We got the vegetable dishes first along with a complimentary soup. The braised bean curd with brown sauce was part of their discounted small-sized order menu. For a party of three, the portion size was adequate. All of the dishes tasted good, but they unfortunately forgot our chicken chow mein. We initially gave them the benefit of the doubt that they were busy preparing food for other tables. However, we later found that they forgot the dish after following up with them. While the noodles tasted good as usual, the chicken did taste bland. This restaurant isn't usually busy, so I think that day was an exception due to them accommodating a big party. read more

My family has been ordering the same fish dish for the past two months. We held a big family event here over the winter holiday 2025 and food was great. We had about 100 people and service went great as well. So i didn't understand the low ratings until today. Usually we have our help from William or Kate. We've been ordering this Chilean black cod fish Thai style as listed in the printed prefix menu they gave us when helping decide our event dinner. Been ordering the same dish for weeks. Both workers were not there on a Saturday night. The dish is essentially a stir fried salt and pepper dry stir fry with basil leaves. The person on the phone was not sure which item it was. Instead of saying he's not sure he asks the chef, comes back and says "ok 20 minutes." What we picked up and opened when we got home is fried fish. Sauce on the side so not even stir fried. And the sauce was a typical Chinese red sweet and sour sauce. Now this is where I decided to give the 1 star. I'll just state it now, I'm a chef with over 25 years of experience. I call to confirm the mistake of miscommunication through ordering. As I explained before, the the dish is a typical dry salt and pepper stirfry with basil or mint leaves. My mother always orders it mild. I call back explaining the concern and even the flavor and style of dish it is. Now the guy on the phone says it's because she said no spicy. Now I would understand trying substitute. But you have to verify with customer that's the order they want. The ingredients in the original dish was salt pepper and basil. And you give sweet and sour sauce on the side instead? Flavor profile are not even the same. How does the chef make a decision and instead of trying to correct the mistake,(I'm willing to drive back to just get the dry seasoning on the side) try to blame the customer instead? -- dude just say sorry for the confusion and carry on to try to fix the problem!! Again I work in the industry and i usually just ignore mistakes and don't even leave a review and move on cause my empathy to the business. BUT how it was handled after spending $24 on a dish left a bad taste in my mouth. 1-Instead of admitting they did not understand the order, (we would've hung up and not ordered and wait until next time William is working). ---But that is also part of the problem if customer service is different depending on the workers, there is no consistency. 2-Making the choice to substitute a sauce that sounds nothing like the dish described. From a chefs standpoint point-- I mean even a cook's reasoning-- salt and pepper stir fry is nowhere close to a wet sweet and sour sauce in terms of texture and flavor profile. It's completely different dish. That's like asking for soy sauce and they give me vinegar instead. 3-Instead of attempting to correct the issue to find a solution. Such as offering the seasoning ingredients on the side for me to pick up. I was willing to drive 5 miles back on a Saturday in the rain to have the problem resolved. But instead they defended their decision. At the end of the day: The dish I received was not the dish I wanted. And if any business is okay with that statement, they don't deserve to stay in business with how fragile the restaurant business is right now. I'd be surprised if they're still here in 2 years. The only redeeming decision they made was to make it sauce on the side. I threw away their "Thai style" sauce aka sweet and sour sauce. And stir fried it myself. Defeated the point of ordering food, I wasn't trying to cook on my day off. Forever lost a customer, and all potential 100+ customers we brought from the holiday event. Will never throw an event here again. But congrats to them... they were able to give me chef rage on my day off! read more

Lobster Bay is closed! Gone! ;___; we were coming here to celebrate Mother's Day, only to see a sign saying the "Happy Together" is taking over Lobster Bay. I'm heart broken! This is one of the few No MSG restaurants around. We loved their lobster noodles and lunch specials. I'm so sad. ;_; read more

Wanting to celebrate a late Mother's Day lunch and upon arrival, discovered the restaurant appears to be permanently CLOSED.

Come here for lunch for the first time. Ordered a few lunch specials. In addition, my party ordered an Abalone dish. I do not recommend "Wonton Noodle Soup" due to lack of taste. We asked the server for Red Vinegar and Chili Sauce. 15 minutes later the server just took the vinegar away without our consent while we are still eating. The server also took our soup bowls away while we still have the soup of the day on our table. read more

Just a quick updated review on my latest visit to Lobster Bay... My aunts threw a birthday lunch for one of my uncles. He is one of my Dad's younger brothers. There were about 30+ people so we occupied 3 tables... large, medium, and small tables LOL... not kidding. Each table was instructed to order one dish per person. My table had 11 people, but we ended up getting 13 dishes. I guess we don't follow instructions well when it comes to food LOL. It's all good. It was hard to capture the staff's attention as we were at the far corner table. However, when we did get their attention, they were very receptive and took good care of us. Thank you! All of our 13 dishes were yummy and delicious (check out photos). Flavors were on point! Portions were decent. We got the complimentary lunch soup and white rice which was nice. There was one mix up... for the bittermelon spare ribs, they made it with beef in error... no biggie, we kept the dish as is... it was quite tasty actually. I do have to call out their amazing salt and pepper shrimp as it was the most favorite dish by all counts... SO SO GOOD! There weren't any least favorites really. Everything was fantastic! Dishes were emptied as they arrived shortly to the table LOL. Great job Lobster Bay! I did have one observation... it was during lunch time on a Saturday and there weren't a lot of customers which was quite concerning. They are located within a side street so maybe people don't know they are here. Anyway, hope they do better during dinner time. Anyone reading this, go and support Lobster Bay when you're in the Rowland Heights area! I know we'll be back for sure... read more

Went here on a Sunday afternoon when it wasn't too busy. We ordered a lot of food but my favorites would have to be the House lobster and the honey walnut shrimp!

I made an order through Fantuan delivery, so I'll stick with the food. The main item - House style Boston Lobster, was a total disaster. I tried to pick a piece of meat of the shell, it just broke apart like powder. I understand it's supposed to be dead, but powdery? For over $100 a dish, not even worth to try again. 龙虾湾顾名思义以龙虾为拿手，一道100刀的波士顿龙虾，虾肉一碰就呈粉状崩离。其它就甭说了！ read more

Asian food- they provide live fresh seafood, especially the lobster and fish, was incredibly yummy. Each dish was delicious and tasty, making our dining experience truly exceptional.The service was also great. Our server was very nice and provided excellent service throughout the evening. The kids loved the place too, adding to the overall enjoyment of our celebration. If you're looking for a place with fresh seafood and a great atmosphere, I highly recommend Lobster Bay! Free parking. Make reservations before you go. read more

Lobster Bay overall is consistent choice for my Canto dad whenever he is craving Canto food, and the lunch special options come with rice, tea, and soup. While I can't say the food will blow you out of the water, it is good in terms of consistency and is a good choice for large group dinners. There is also a good amount of parking in the Plaza, so no need to worry about finding parking. read more

We went there for lunch, it was good. Big portion with lunch specials. But dinner was so disappointed. Peiking duck is cold, live fish is expensive but dead. They didn't show you the fish before cooking. Not recommended this place. Cheating and not honest. read more

07/08/24 Today would have been my father's 77th birthday. Mom & I celebrated it pretty big at Lobster Bay, but just us. We ordered: *Chicken & Corn Soup *Lobster (deep fried with jalapenos & garlic)*** *Seafood Chow Mein *Rock Cod with Ginger & Chinese Broccoli We didn't say anything about the occasion to John, Ming & Rico as they served us. They were surprised with the amount of food we ordered, but this is how my dad used to order. Order a lot of dishes. Make sure everyone has a taste of everything. Take home what's left/ if anything is left. ***It's Lobster Bay's 10th Anniversary, we got another lobster for free!!! (When you order more than $77) read more

Celebrated my nephew's birthday with lunch at Lobster Bay. My first time eating here and I was impressed. We arrived about 1pm and there were plenty of tables so we were seated right away. After taking our order we didn't have to wait too long before we were served soup. We asked for ice waters in the beginning but they didn't bring them until after the soup. Just a slight delay. They served a house special soup to start. Different...with red beans in it, but good. Next came the Kung Pao chicken which tasted pretty ordinary. After the tofu in Chiu Chou sauce was served warm. Deep fried tofu covered in a soy type of sauce...it was good! Next came the stir fried string beans with Minced pork. The string beans were crispy and flavorful. We wanted to try the Rice Noodles in Zhong Shan style and really enjoyed thi tasty noodle dish. The last dish served was the House special lobster with noodles. The lobster was cooked in a sauce that was a little spicy but had a really good flavor! You could order the lobster cooked in other ways but we all thought this dish was delicious! The restaurant is decorated more than your typical Chinese restaurant. They even have. Fishing net displayed and hanging at the entrance with "caught" items in it. It's large enough to have a banquet but I'm not sure if they have dividers to make them more private. The food is good and the price is not too expensive so I do recommend giving it a try if you are in the area. read more

My family and I ( 3 of us ) came here for a dinner on boxing day around 6PM. It was quiet, just our table and another table. As time passed by, more customers came and by the time we left around 730PM, there were 5-6 more tables of customers. Maybe its just boxing day so business was slow. This place is clean and server were friendly. At least they don't have the attitude problem you encounter at most asian restaurant. They have a couple private rooms so if you want to book a dinner and have it privately, there are options. Price wise, since this place is more toward the higher end of traditional Chinese restaurant, the range is a little higher but acceptable especially nowadays when everything is pricey. We ordered a lobster which the market price was $27/lb, a seafood soup, a dish of veggie and a dish of egg tofu. Total came out to be $178 without tips. Do I think its worth it? Not really. Not because the food is bad but i can find another place that cost cheaper but better taste or food. They don't have alot dish options as well. At least they don't have something that stands out or other places don't offer. Their food is average / decent and there is nothing I can complain about or wave about. Overall, i would give a C+, a 3.5 if i have the option. read more

I ordered over the phone for pickup around the time they opened on Christmas day and they answered the phone!! 2 other of their competitors did not! My family feasted like Kings & Queens. Entrees we ordered that I would recommend: Lobster (house sauce) 4.5 lbs @ 24.99 per lb special Crab (ginger scallion sauce) 3 lbs @ 21.99 per lb Turbo fish (steamed) 3 lbs @ 36.99 per lb Sauteed Snow peas veggies Black bean clams & basil chili clams Filet mignon cubes w/ mushrooms (Portion and seasoning was ok) ******Skip the salt n pep porkchops, they were over battered and lacked flavor, meat to batter ratio was off.... Walnut shrimp (could have been better) Our order Came with a container of white rice. Total was approx 460.00. Well worth it with lots of leftovers as we were only a family of 5!!!

This was our go-to for take-outs during the Pandemic. This is the first time we'd been back for a dine-in experience. Best dishes: - sweet walnut soup with sesame glutinous balls: the walnut soup was made fresh! - watercress soup with dried duck gizzard The walnuts in Honey Walnut Shrimps were crispy and tasty; unfortunately, the same could not be said of the shrimps, which were bland, to say the least. The rest of the dishes were below par. The menu was full of authentic Cantonese dishes. The seafood in the tanks looked fresh and lively. However, the execution was disappointing. We learned that the main chef was off for the day. On a Tuesday night at 6:45pm, we were the only table for the entire duration we were there. We had undivided attention from our server. However, I am not sure if the empty restaurant was an indication of the general consensus on the restaurant. read more

We came right at the beginning of dinner. We asked for a small room for our party. The waiter was very helpful on all our Questions. We ordered Lobster 2 different ways, steamed fish, noodles, crab fried rice, jellyfish, fried intestines, Chinese Broccoli and a few other dishes. It was whole lot of food for 9 people. The food was tasty and the waiter was very attentive. The restaurant is not current in style . But, the food is worth going. read more

If you have a large party, this is not the place to go. The workers are liars and will trick you. I brought my family and relatives to go eat lunch and we were not allowed to sit in the main dining area because they claimed that all the large tables were reserved. The workers told us to use the private room and said we could use it for free. It wasn't until we ordered when they said there was a $300 dollar minimum. Go to Boston Lobster across the street instead. read more

This is my favorite place to get lobster in Rowland Heights! I was surprised to see the current rating and how empty it was when I visited the restaurant. Lobster Bay can be a bit pricey but it is lobster after all. Plus, the quality of the food makes it all worth it. The app isn't letting me post a picture for some reason but I ordered the house lobster with garlic noodles. This is a MUST do in my opinion if you visit this restaurant. The lobster was fresh, juicy, and went well with the flavor profile of garlic noodles. You could order other items such as their honey walnut shrimp and calamari, but just getting lobster could be enough for a small party. The one downside of eating here is that parking is a bit crowded. Lobster Bay shares a small parking lot with a popular hot pot spot so parking can be competitive and carpooling I'd recommended. However, I think it is worth it if you only go once in a while. I hope this place is able to stay open despite how few people were there when I visited. Perhaps it is a hidden gem or people forgot about it during Covid. read more

Nasty food experience. Ordered the sweet and sour fish, but it was $50 for a small/thin fish just drenched in the sauce. The fried intestine had that heavy scent when you bite into it. At other places, the intestine is carefully cleaned so when you taste it you won't taste the pungent odor. The fried wings tasted spoiled, poor food prep/temp. I believed the chicken was not stored correctly, like it was sit out in room temp for a while too long. Rice, tea, soup were decent, though. I did like how the servers greeted me at the door and when I left. Overall, would I come back again? Probably not. read more

Before the pandemic, we used to go here more often...it's been a while since we went back. We went for a banquet style dinner; although the food was ok but the service was kind of lacking. After the waiters brought in food, they didn't come to check on us if we need more water, or pick up the soup bowls or trash, instead they were all watching their phones the entire time until you asked them for something. When they were asked, they were nice to give you things per your request, but they didn't really provide any service. read more

Awesome delicious food! Had lobster and steamed fish. Was really good Service was great! It is on the pricey side. But it is seafood

Happy CNY!!! I'm hoping this review reaches the management or the owner of this fine establishment. Not throwing shades at our waiter at all since all the staff were working hard... walking back and forth looking busy without carrying any food or order or menu. This is going to be a harsh critique if you can't tell already. First of all, if you're open on major holidays, arent you expecting customers to come in?? Thus, make sure you're staffed up. With that said, we had a reservation at 6 pm. We were seated at 6.30 pm. Ordered by 7.30 pm. And the soup came around 8.00 pm. And had to wait every 30 minutes until the next order came out. It felt like we weren't being served because no one in our group spoke Chinese. Boo. We had to ask multiple times for rice, water, and sauces... it's even more painful that we have a hungry toddler with us. Waiting for over 2 hours for food is just ridiculous. The food is okay. The staff does not care about your requests. We asked for extra crispy intestines and we get wet intestines on the table. :/ anyways, please staff up so everyone can have an okay dining experience. And we weren't the only group feeling this way by the way. If you ask most of the customers today, they'll have the same general complaints. Also. Please keep the bathroom clean. It was filthy! Wet floors, no toilet paper, it was disgusting. read more

My review is mainly on the food cause we all know service is not always going to be amazing at these types of restaurants haha. I come here pretty often with my parents because it's so close to my house. The food is almost always a hit with a few exceptions here and there but for the most part, we always leave pretty happy and with leftovers haha. I will say over the years, the portions have gotten smaller but that's not surprising considering how expensive things are getting. Food is always fresh and comes out relatively quickly read more
