It was one of the best meals I have ever eaten. The chinese lobster was so delicious. We had one plate for 3 persons and it was more than enough (the rest of a meal we took away). Before lobster, we had got soup and cup of tea, which was included in price.

Really a hidden gem!!! Do not know, why this place is unknown to many people. Feel really bad for the owner, he used to be a chef for Newport and you know how good they used to be. It is empty most of the time, so no wait. Parking is super easy. The food is really good, love the lobster special, catfish sour soup and catfish in claypot. The best part is the price is really cheap compared to Newport or Boston lobster. I really recommend this place, the owner is super sweet giving this a feeling of mom and pop shop.

Decided to check this place out and as I stepped inside I wasn't too sure I was gonna have a good time. It all changed with the friendly staff and delicious food. Had the lobster and shrimp soup, it was a very tasty meal. Only disappoinment part of it all was that they seemed to be out of crab, boba. But other than that, the meal was great. Will definitely go back again and recommend it.

great deal for lobster, but limited choice on everything else. So come here if you want to eat lobster!

Great customer service. I went there with friends and we ordered one of their packages (8-10 dishes). Since they were out of crabs, they substituted it with another lobster! Unexpectedly, the dishes were huge comparable to American restaurants. This place will be my go to for lobster and seafood. I highly recommend you try this place considering it costs half of what you would get at that other lobster place on Las Tunas.

Great food, excellent service. Come support them. Definitely better than waiting hour long at Newport and better service than Boston lobster. Portions are huge and pricing beats both of the others.

Very nice Chinese / Vietnamese restaurant! Super friendly staff made the experience that much better! Unusual to have such helpful staff and so attentive. We had: House special crab (2) w/ noodles Clams with basil Vietnamese beef (bo luc lac) Fried pork chop Fried calamari (squid) Pea sprouts Everything was great - we had to ask for low salt to keep those of us on anti-hypertensive medication to not have to dose again...

Came here for family dinner on Saturday night and food was delicious. There was no wait and service was good. We brought in two bottles of wine and they didn't charge a corkage fee. That's awesome as most restaurant charge for corkage. We ordered the following: Crab & fish Maw soup lobsters with noodles House special Lobster Crab baked with salt & pepper Shrimp with walnut Clams with black bean sauce Crispy squid with salt & pepper Steam whole fish Beef luc lac Onchoy Pea sprouts My favorite was the lobster. It has a kick to it. I love the jalapeí±o in the house special lobster. Must try if you love Chinese seafood.

Recently, 626 Lobster has become one of my favorite restaurants for family dinners. Although the restaurant is small, I personally have never run into any issues getting a table for 10+ people. And, there is always ample parking at night. Of course what I love most about 626 Lobster is the delicious food! All dishes are very flavorful, but just a heads up - some dishes can be a little on the oily side. Some of my personal favorite items include the fillet fish with basil, shrimp with walnut, and of course the 626 house special lobster (comes with noodles). Basically, when you're in the mood for Chinese food, 626 Lobster is a solid choice!
Pretty average Vietnamese/ Chinese place. Small lobsters here go for about 100$ each but they are pretty tasty. My favorite thing here was probably the cat fish soup. It's a Vietnamese style hot and sour soup loaded with fish. Don't get this if you can't drink sour. I also ordered the French style beef which was just okay. The meat was pretty tough and was not as good as other places. The chicken in the lettuce wraps was also tough. They also literally chopped half of a lettuce ball and served it to us. Other places usually peel the lettuce and stack individual cups on top of each other. Walnut shrimp was pretty good. The shrimps were nicely fried and the walnuts were nicely sweet. I also like getting the fried tofu. This place is just average to me and I think Newport seafood or capital seafood does a much better job.

Came here last night because boston lobster was crazy packed. I'm giving this place a solid 4 stars for the house lobster. That's the only dish we got. Overall, the taste was really good. After a couple of bites, it started getting really salty for me. The lobster was cooked perfectly, but felt the meat was somewhat lacking...too much shell, not enough meat. I would recommend this restaurant to those who want to avoid the wait at boston lobster. The menu looks very similar and the taste is uncannily alike.

You guys, if you are looking for a delicious lobster, look no further. This IS THE PLACE. I have never had Asian style lobster and man have I been missing out. We were seated right away, we went at a weird time (between lunch and dinner) so the place was really empty (literally only two other groups of ppl). We ordered the 626 House Special Lobster (3-4 lbs approx) on a bed of garlic noodles, fried rice, Chinese broccoli, and two beers which came out $90-ish or so. The lobster was juicy and flavorful. My only "complaint" is that it was not spicy despite having asked for that. The garlic noodles underneath were really good too, my mouth is watering thinking of it. Everything was just so good.

I wanted to give it more stars but the lobster was just a little over cooked

Good lobster, but everything else is poorly executed. If you go, only order the lobster with noodles.
