What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Lobster King is celebrated for its fresh, delicious seafood, particularly the lobster, which can be hand-picked and cooked to order. The atmosphere is often described as warm and relaxing, with live music adding to the experience. However, some diners find the restaurant overhyped and mention issues with slow service and staff attentiveness, with a few citing high prices.
"A very pleasant experience! The food was extremely tasty, with generous portions and great presentation. The atmosphere in the restaurant was warm and relaxing, and the live music added a special touch to the evening. The staff was kind, friendly, and always attentive to our needs. Definitely a place I’ll return to and gladly recommend!"

"We went for the lobster, of course—it’s what they’re known for, and it didn’t disappoint. The seafood is priced per kilo and cooked to order, with live and fresh catch on display, which adds to the experience.
They also offer a wide variety of Filipino dishes, so there’s something for everyone. The restaurant is spacious and equipped with toilet facilities, making it convenient for groups and families.
Prices are on the higher side, but that’s expected when it comes to fresh seafood—especially lobster. Overall, it’s worth it for the quality and the experience."

"I was really craving a nice fresh lobster, so where better to go than a restaurant named "Lobster King" and I tried their specialty King Lobster.
The King Lobster came in at a whopping 1.9 kilos @ 6,200 peso's per kilo...PLUS drinks and side dishes. My total bill was 15,000 peso's but it was well worth it! Every peso. An awesome meal to start off my week here!
Tender, succulent and tasty, the King Lobster was a meal fit for a king! This place is nationally rated as one of the top restaurants on the entire island of Busuanga!"
