I think this might be one of the best lobster rolls I’ve had!! We tried both the Butter Lobster Roll & the Signature Lobster Roll and I am team Signature all the way.

The Vietnamese touch of nước chấm enhances the flavors divinely! And in full honesty, it just makes my lil Viet heart happy ♡

The best lobster roll I’ve ever eaten in my life! The chips had a unique seasoning, which was great! I would definitely eat here again the next time I’m in NYC.

Definitely the best seafood place to go in Manhattan! The Lobster Roll is the best I ever had, also happy hour dollar oysters, crab caviar and lobster garlic noodle are amazing! Service is very good. Perfect for an afternoon drink and dinner with friends. Great value for money.

They have some interesting takes on lobster rolls here and I really enjoyed the signature roll. Nice chunky bits of lobster and I really enjoyed all the toppings.

Really good asian-style seafood place. The lobster roll is really delicious, and the seasoning of the fries is to die for: a little sweet, sour, and salty. The crab fried rice is pretty good as well. Another highlight of dinner is the deep fried octopus with coconut milk-based sauce. It tastes just like ốc len xào dừa. Monkfish is also yummy. The meat skewers are normal. Dessert is okay. Watermelon slush is quite good.
Service is good. Although the servers forgot/messed up our order 2-3 times, they apologized at the end and gave us complimentary desserts.

We had the BEST experience here! Everything was delicious, the service was great, and the atmosphere is amazing. Sit at the counter to get the full feel and chat with the chef and staff about your food. Ask for recommendations and ALWAYS use the sauce given. Every dish is clearly thought through to the nth degree and executed well. The drink menu has been crafted to perfectly complement the feel and flavors as well.

We had almost half the menu and everything was impeccable. The pork jowl is to die for and the papaya salad was a great refreshing surprise full of texture and flavor. The oysters were the perfect amount of salt and the roe was a great texture add.

You cannot go wrong with dinner here. Even the playlist will get you excited!

Came here after walking around the market line look for the best light lunch right before we headed for our movie upstairs. Decide to give this place a try. Wasn’t busy at all and we ordered the full sized lobster roll with French fries. Included were a couple of pint sized bottles of water which resembled milk containers from back in public school days. The lobster roll combo was served Vietnamese style and had some good flavor for each bite. The fries were overpowering with sea salt which made the fries taste more like eating salt which was a bit disappointing. The lobster bisque soup was okay.

Such a great little gem inside of Essex market. The waiters are amazing. We came here for the famous happy hour oysters.

Certainly one of the best deals in the city. The oysters were absolutely delicious. We were also amazed by the rest of the menu.
The tiger prawn skewers and the handmade noodles were fantastic. The food can be a bit spicy, but order yourself a nice drink and enjoy it. It can get crowded during peak hours especially due to the publicity received in social media.

We’ll be back soon

One of my favorite South East Asian spots with a menu that keeps you wanting more. The fries with their secret spices is amazing. The happy hour pricing (dollar oysters) is definitely worth it for the food. Other highlights include the clams, skewers (lamb is a must), crab fried rice, and the fried Skate wing!

The staff was friendly and made us feel welcomed into the space.
