Been meaning to try this food truck for a while. The truck parks daily starting at 4 pm on the corner of Valley and Muscatel, opposite the Rosemead library and in front of Prince Dumpling's parking lot. The owner, a very nice and friendly woman, was working the cart all by herself this day, so I don't know if anyone else works there at other times. I got the lobster roll a la carte, the lobster bisque, and the coconut shrimp, which comes with fries. For my Yelp check-in I was given some free shrimp chips with what looks like dried seaweed flakes on top. The shrimp roll is a little bit of an illusion. The meat is piled up on the top of the bun instead of shoved in. That being said, when I did shove it into the bun, it was still plenty of meat. The flavor was good if a little more bland than I've had before. It tasted like plain lobster, and as some people mentioned the meat is technically cold (or room temperature). It would be better if the lobster had more butter covering it and was warm. The lobster bisque taste good but was a rip-off. It was a teeny tiny cup, which would not even qualify as a cup in a restaurant. It was somewhere between a shot glass and a cup of soup. Not worth the price. The coconut shrimp were probably my favorite item and absolutely amazing. The shrimp are fresh, the flavor is great, the dipping sauces work well, and the fries are good. I liked this more than the namesake lobster roll. I will come back and do recommend trying it. Just know about the lobster being cold, so you're not put off. Also, I probably would try a few more places I have bookmarked before I rush back. Still, it was a decent meal, and I would definitely get the coconut shrimp again. Give it a try! read more

A Unique New Food Truck in the 626 Area Over the past couple of years, more and more food trucks have been popping up around the 626 area. Most of them are usually grilled food, Hispanic food, or sushi-style options. This food truck feels like something new and different for the area, especially since it's opened by a Chinese owner. I give them credit for bringing something rare and unique to a location where this type of food truck is hard to find. Location The truck is located on Valley Blvd, on the westbound curbside outside the GW Supermarket parking lot. Menu Their menu is not overwhelming, which I actually appreciate. Their signature item is the lobster roll, but they also offer tofu pudding, shrimp/lobster chips, fish and chips, lobster grilled cheese, coconut shrimp, clam chowder, and a few other items. They also offer free shrimp/lobster chips if you check in on Yelp. What I Ordered On the day I visited, I ordered: 2 lobster rolls Clam chowder Free shrimp/lobster chips from Yelp check-in Free tofu pudding I really appreciated their generosity and friendly service. The lady who helped me was super nice and answered my questions in detail. Lobster Roll -- 3.5 to 4/5 The lobster roll was not bad. I would probably rate it around 3.5 to 4 out of 5. I do think it could be better with a different type of bread. I understand they may want to be a little different from other places that use the usual lobster roll bread, but in my opinion, the bread they use is not necessarily better. It just feels different. Shrimp/Lobster Chips The shrimp/lobster chips were decent. Clam Chowder & Tofu Pudding -- 2/5 The clam chowder and tofu pudding were not really for me. I'm not sure how to describe them, and maybe it just comes down to personal preference, but I would personally rate both around 2 out of 5. Price Price-wise, it is definitely on the expensive side. A lobster roll is $26, which feels very pricey and may make people hesitant to come back often or order more items. It is even more expensive than some of the more popular lobster roll spots in Vegas. Overall Overall, I respect the concept and appreciate that they are bringing something new to the 626 area. The service was friendly, and the lobster roll was decent, but the pricing and a few of the side items could be improved. read more

I LOVED this place!! Incredible lobster rolls near home!? The lobster was generous. It was perfectly cooked and tender. The bun was crunchy and buttery. They gave shrimp chips that were freshly fried and had that delicate crunch. They were seasoned with furikake and so yummy. I tried the tofu pudding and oh my gosh - I thought it was one of the best things. The flavor is subtle and light but the texture was so satisfying. The lady who took my order was very nice and bright with a friendly smile and enthusiasm. It was really pleasant. Will be back, without a doubt. $35 you get a lobster roll, shrimp chips, dessert and a drink. Amazing. read more

Lobster Zen - Lobster roll and shrimp chips! Delicious! - Food Trucks Near Me - Rosemead, California

The owner is very nice, the truck seems clean, and the food is alright. The lobster roll was good, but the lobster bisque was just okay (my husband noticed a strange aftertaste). The shrimp chip was essentially just a shrimp chip, and my husband felt it tasted like it had too many chemicals or MSG added. The dessert tasted awful. Lastly, it is overpriced, especially for a food truck. We will not be returning. I am still giving it two stars because the lobster was alright and the owner was pleasant. read more

tried the lobster roll twice already. so fresh, clean, and light and for the amount of lobster we get, i would say its worth it. tried calamari , would pass on it. the lady/owner? was super sweet and friendly. she forgot one of our items and gave us tofu pudding to make up for it. overall, would definitely come back again for just the lobster roll itself! read more

Im so glad they have ICELANDIC HOT DOGS!! I've been craving one ever since I visited a couple years ago. The taste of these hot dogs is so unique and "clean" and exactly like the ones I've had in Iceland !! Perhaps even better bc of the toppings,, I am so glad. I think the value for this is great! I will visit again. Highly recommended :) read more

This type of food is expensive but I believe I got my money's worth. The lobster roll here is delicious with meat in every bite with a hint of truffle. The bread is also toasted nicely. I was on the fence on whether to get the lobster bisque and I'm glad I did. There were piece of lobster in there which added some texture. The woman running the truck is really nice. There's plenty of street parking by truck. I called in my order in advance to minimize wait time. It's not advertised on Yelp but I saw a sign on the truck that said free shrimp chips for checking in. read more

Overpriced lobster on a hot dog bun, don't bother with it, you can go sit in a restaurant for what i spent at this highway robbery truck. Wont be back, sorry folks, too pricey for me... read more

It's nice to have lobster rolls in the area. Located on Valley Blvd. You can't miss this truck when driving by. But it sucks you have to take it home or eat it in your car since there's really nowhere to eat it. The lady in the truck is really nice. The lobster roll was good, buttery and soft. Can't go wrong w a good lobster roll but for the price, I think I'd rather go to a sit down restaurant. read more

I have no idea how this place got a 4.8. Their fish and chips is like they bought frozen fish sticks and just fried them (looks nothing like what they have pictured). The lobster roll is okay at best. Their clam chowder was served like warm. read more

Yummy lobster rolls ! Nice and friendly owner I'll definitely come back and try their lobster bisque and shrimp fries, read more

Delicious lobster rolls! The lobster was fresh, perfectly cooked judging from the texture. Would definitely get it again. The douhua tofu pudding desert was also refreshingly good as a dessert. The fish from the fish and chips' batter was a little undercooked on the inside as it was moist/mushy where it touched the fish. But that's alright because the lobster roll and douhua make up for it tenfold! The only woman working had such great service and energy. I had never had the tofu pudding before, so she gave it to me for free on the house which was so nice of her! Check them out! read more

Came here to try their Icelandic hotdog and it did not disappoint. They import their hotdog straight from Iceland and you can really taste the difference. The toasted buns were fantastic and the crispy onions and creamy remoulade pairing took the hotdog to the next level. As an added bonus, the owner is extremely sweet! I had a great experience here and would recommend it to everyone. read more

The owner Vicky is so sweet and hardworking. I came near closing and she was the only one working when I got there. You can tell right off the bat how caring and thoughtful she is. Down to earth and the sweetest lady you'll ever meet. The lobster rolls are great, and everything is made fresh. If you check in on yelp, you get some free chips! Chips were so fresh they were still crackling and popping when I got them. Food is on the pricier side, but you get amazing food and amazing service in return. Highly recommend! read more

We were looking for something in the area and came across this food truck through yelp, the food was fresh and service was really friendly

Trying the famous Lobster roll. Looks delicious and fresh. A true local gem. Conveniently located for bite before the show.

The Lobster Roll is excellent. The bun is deep-fried, which gives it a great rich flavor and crispy texture, pairing perfectly with the fresh, generous lobster meat. Another standout is the Tofu Pudding--it has a very unique, rich aroma and is incredibly smooth. The ingredients are fresh, the service is genuinely friendly, and the place is clean. Great quality for the price. I'll definitely be back! read more

The lobster roll was to die for!! Worker was really nice to us and spoke mandarin too.

We drove by Lobster Zen's truck a few times and finally got to try it recently. Hubby and I decided to share a lobster roll and a lobster bisque. The roll/bread is lightly toasted and buttery, very generous with all the lobster claw meat. Yummmm! There are also a few pieces of lobster meat in the bisque as well. Both items were amazing! With Yelp check-in you can get an order of shrimp chips. These were dust with seaweed flavoring and they reminded me of Ono Giant Shrimp chips from Hawaii. IYKYK Since this is a food truck we ate most of our food in the car. I think it's a one lady shop where she takes your order and cooks your food as well. She was so friendly and nice, she even gave me an order of tofu-fa on the house to try. The tofu was so delicious and soft! We are definitely coming back and next time we are not sharing that lobster roll! read more

Solid lobster rolls in a food truck located in Rosemead on Valley blvd and Muscatel ave. Plaza has parking, shared by Prince Dumpling and GW supermarket. The employee (I'm assuming owner) was very sweet and prepared everything quickly. My friend checked in on yelp so we received a complementary tofu pudding dessert and shrimp chips. The lobster roll was packed to the top with lobster pieces! read more

It was my first time trying this place and it did not disappoint!. I got the lobster roll combo for $32 and overall I think it is a good value. The execution of the roll was on point. Soft sweet roll that was toasted and there were good chunks of lobster on top. I could have eaten two easily. It was that good. The combo comes with shrimp chips sprinkled with seaweed and sesame, and a canned drink. It also comes with a sweet tofu dessert which I also enjoyed very much. I will definitely come back again. read more

really great tasting lobster very fresh. Would definitely recommend to others. Server was also really nice and patient.
