I visited for breakfast on a Saturday morning, a little after 9am. The eggslut and BOULANGE on the 1st floor were quite crowded, but this store on the 2nd floor had no customers ahead of me. I ordered the COMBO B, which includes the LOBSTER & CRAB ROLL, French fries, and a soft drink. The food was served in less than 5 minutes. First, I took a bite of the lobster side! The combination of the plump lobster and the bread, which had a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior, was delicious, with the lemon butter sauce enhancing the flavor of the lobster. Then I took a bite of the crab side. Hmm, it didn't have the same impact as the lobster. A pack of Sriracha, a garlic hot sauce, was included separately, but I didn't use it because it wasn't my preference. I would be happy if they could provide hollandaise sauce separately! This might be a typical breakfast volume, but considering the price, the quantity and variety of flavors were a bit lacking. Thank you for the meal.
**A Must-Try! Lobster Roll with a Big Impact** Located right across from the south exit of JR Shinjuku Station! This restaurant, situated beneath a large LCD screen, offers an incredibly impactful lobster roll experience. Part of the Southern Terrace complex, this establishment houses three different restaurants under one roof, creating a unique eat-in atmosphere. Luke's Lobster is located on the second floor, boasting a charming interior reminiscent of a fishing vessel. After securing a table, I placed my order at the counter. This time, I went for: * The signature Lobster Roll * Mazesoba (shrimp) * B Set (drink + fries) * C Set (drink + soup) **Lobster Roll** The regular size weighs in at 113g, roughly equivalent to one whole lobster. The lobster practically spills out of the bun! While the meat is seasoned with spices, it's best enjoyed with the accompanying chili sauce (I initially ate it without the sauce and found it lacked flavor). The lobster was incredibly fresh and of high quality, as expected for a roll priced at ¥2,480. **Mazesoba (Shrimp)** This mazesoba is a symphony of shrimp, featuring shrimp broth, shiitake mushrooms, and shrimp miso. The curly thin noodles perfectly absorb the rich flavors, and the spicy seasoning makes it a delightful and easy-to-eat dish. The mixed rice served at the end was delicious, but I found it a bit too salty. **B Set Fries** The fries, resembling wedge cuts, were fluffy and satisfying. **C Set Soup** The soup, possibly a bisque, had a rich flavor that lingered on the palate. **Overall** It was a delicious and memorable meal! ------------------ ☻ Order Lobster Roll (Regular) ¥2,480 (excluding tax) Mazesoba (Shrimp) ¥2,640 (excluding tax) B Set ¥500 (excluding tax) C Set ¥600 (excluding tax) ------------------ ☻ Highlights ✓ Conveniently located near Shinjuku Station! ✓ Perfect for attracting foreign visitors! ✓ The lobster roll is a true showstopper! ✓ Enjoy burgers and bread from the first floor alongside your meal. ------------------
About 10 years ago, a Thai executive visited Japan and expressed a desire to try the lobster roll at Luke's. I wasn't able to join them at the restaurant back then, so it's been on my mind ever since. Finally, my wish came true and I got to try the lobster roll. I ordered the light size, but it was more than enough. It was juicy, satisfying, and made me realize how delicious lobster truly is. The bread was more like toast than a hot dog bun. The price was surprisingly high, but I'd definitely eat it again. I also want to try the Eggslut downstairs.
On May 7th (Wednesday), a slightly late lunch time. I visited with my family of three. A reward for myself for working the entire Golden Week 🎁 Lobster, shrimp, and crab, a sandwich with three kinds, a sandwich with two kinds of lobster and shrimp, all were delicious 😊 You can enjoy the difference in texture and flavor ☺️ Personally, I recommend the lobster 🦞 The accompanying sauce is not too spicy, and you can add it halfway through for a change of flavor 👅 The drink and potato set is definitely a good deal. Some people say the price is high, but considering the recent rise in import food prices due to exchange rate fluctuations, it's understandable. Japan has been in deflation for too long 😓 I don't think it's a good idea to sell things cheaply either. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the wonderful lunch 😊
We've had lobster rolls in many countries, and this one was delicious and high quality. Therefore, we don't understand the negative reviews. It's obvious to anyone that lobster is generally expensive. We can only recommend the lobster itself.
