Lobster Wok is a hidden gem from the 1980s that offers authentic Chinese cuisine. The restaurant is known for its very fresh and hefty portions of homestyle cooking, which is non-greasy and always made with fresh ingredients. The front desk owner is extremely cheerful and accommodating, often greeting customers with a smile. Customers frequently praise the freshness of the food, noting that the crab Rangoon has a good amount of cream cheese, and the chicken teriyaki is tender and juicy. The white pork fried rice is lightly salted and flavorful, while the beef teriyaki, though slightly drier, still satisfies many diners.
In addition to traditional dishes, Lobster Wok offers unique options such as specialty fish and farm fruits like tangerines and Asian pears. The restaurant is highly regarded for its value, with many customers emphasizing the generous portions. The hot and sour soup is a standout dish, with a thick texture and excellent flavor. The staff is friendly and professional, making the experience warm and welcoming. They also have a private chat group for customers interested in daily specials, showing their commitment to customer service. Overall, Lobster Wok is a must-visit for anyone seeking authentic and delicious Chinese food in a cozy, home-like atmosphere. The welcoming environment, unique dishes, and fresh ingredients make it a notable restaurant in the area.
