This place is so underwhelming and I’ve been deceived by the great reviews. THIS IS NOT AN AYCE!!

We ordered the two tail lobster special
One pound of peeled shrimp
One rice

Total came out to $82 BEFORE TIP

Overall, food took a while despite us being the ONLY ones in the restaurant and the food was very disappointing considering its price. This place is not worth the visit.

I’ve been searching and trying out seafood boil restaurants in the area, and Lobster Chef is definitely the best around. The service is great and the restaurant is well kept, clean and inviting. The prices are comparable to others around and they have an all you can eat buffet option that’s a no brainer. Their sauce is very flavorful and light. I don’t like chunky and thick sauces so I was so happy with Lobster Chef. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommend it to anyone out there.

My boyfriends mom told us about this place and I just had to try it! It’s AYCE seafood boil and it was only $45 per person! I got a pound of shrimp, mussels and clams. I also chose the garlic butter sauce. For sides I got the corn and potatos.

We thought the seasoning of the sauce wasn’t to strong. It tasted a little bland to us. But I mean for that price and it’s AYCE?? can’t really complain!

Such a great meal! The owner was so nice and was a great lunch spot on a Friday afternoon. Will definitely be coming back and will be placing an order for our Super Bowl watch party!

Very tasty! Shrimp is big and fresh. Chicken wings is a must try! Best wings I have had in the Bay Area. Their other fried appetizers are amazing too.

IF you order take out, they give you two of a kind of each seafood. Total ripoff for the price.You're better off going to Marina next door and buying all the ingredients and making it yourself at home.

La sopa súper deliciosa, sin embargo no ofrecen bebidas al momento de tomar la orden. Aunque si hay bebidas gaseosas y demás no nos ofrecieron nada de eso, las raciones son algo pequeñas.

SUPER YUM lobster tail with just average edamame. The bonus is that everything was fresh and clean. Seriously...that lobster was amazing!

The Cajun sauce if definitely different, if not the best, than other Cajun places around. The garlic butter was not as special, however. Seafood was fresh and flavorful. Definitely worth going back to for those easy lunch/dinner outings.
