    Connecticut lobster roll

    This was my first time trying International Lobster Rolls, and I will definitely go again! I ordered Connecticut lobster rolls and calamari for takeout. Everything tasted delicious and I thought it was good value for the price! They gave a lot of lobster in each roll, which was great for just $20 each, and the buns were lightly toasted and soft. It was a little hard to find parking, since there's only street parking available, but I think it is well-worth making a trip to International Lobster Rolls for the great food there!

    International Lobster Rolls is located in CID in one of the original buildings. Kudos to them for a remodel that yielded a clean and modernized look. They offer lobster rolls that are traditionally prepared, such as the standard Maine and Connecticut styles, or choose amongst those that are uniquely seasoned with international seasonings. Hence, the name of the restaurant. We ordered at the counter and asked for recommendations. The proprietor says the lemon pepper is his favorite. The food came out quickly. We had better luck with the not-lobster roll items. The Food: Connecticut Lobster Roll, $19.98 - 4 Stars This is a traditional preparation, served warm, with the lobster having been drenched in melted butter. They don't use the flat cut, buttered, and grilled bread. This is closer to a wide hot dog bun. We had better luck with this roll with lobster that are bigger pieces. Cajun Mango Lobster Roll, $19.98 - 3 Stars This lobster roll's seasoning was too salty. I have a high tolerance for salt, and this crossed my line. I am wondering if these are pre-seasoned. We are there nearing closing hours. The lobster meat were not chunks; instead, there were lots of mushy bits that may have absorbed too much seasoning. See photo - no chunks in sight. I am going to pass on the unique flavors next time. Same 'hot dog bun' type of bread. 6x Butter Fish Sauce Wings, $11 - 5 Stars These were excellent. If you are not familiar with Vietnamese style butter fish sauce wings, definitely try these. Wings are also available in multiple flavors. Classic fries (+ non-alcoholic drink combo), $5 - 4.5 Stars These fries and non-alcoholic drink are $5 when ordered with a lobster roll. Worth it. These fries are super crispy and flavorful.

    I didnt trust the reviews and I didnt come with as big an appetite as i should have. I have a feeling ill be back soon to get more food. On this visit I ordered a single lobster roll with their wasabi ponzu flavor. While I waited I had a pleasant conversation with the teller. Shoot before I ordered i also had a pleasant conversation with the teller trying to figure out what to order. Their menu is impressive. Ive never seen a lobster roll selection, but I have seen similar appetizers on a few rare occasions. Dont skip the rare. After ordering and conversing I checked out the various decorative features as well as the overall theme. I felt the modern viet tea/sando spot with vibes. There was a few focal decorative zones to snap shots of for this review so of course I snapped a few. Lucky for me my food was ready when I finished taking photos. Today is friday the 13th by the way, but today was more of a lucky day for me. I discovered an affordable and delicious lobster roll joint in seattle with unheard of offerings and it was actually pretty good. The roll easily had as much lobster as other places, but at an even better price with even more flavors. My lobster roll was delicious was light bursts of wasabi and citrus flavors.

    I had a wonderful experience at this lobster restaurant! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully served. The lobster was cooked perfectly, tender, juicy, and full of taste. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Everything felt fresh and high quality. Definitely a great place for seafood lovers, and I would love to visit again!

    International Lobster Rolls is in the east side of ID, at S King Street and 8th Ave S. They have a menu of lobster rolls, soups, salads, and other appetizers. I tried the lobster bisque and it was creamy and flavorful, topped with actual pieces of lobster ! Seating is plentiful and staff were friendly, food was ready quickly despite it being a busy Saturday.

    My husband and I had a little date night dinner, and this new spot popped up on my Yelp, so of course, we had to try it! I work near the International District, so it was super convenient. Parking wasn't too bad, and the inside of the restaurant was a decent size cozy but not cramped. We ordered the Connecticut Roll and the Tamarind Roll, and oh my gosh... both were so good. We even got a second round of the Connecticut Roll because, duh!! Who doesn't love butter and lobster? The bread was soft and fresh, not hard or chewy, which made it even better. We also tried the lobster bisque and the lobster crab roll bites, which were okay. For the price, the lobster rolls were totally worth it they pack a generous amount of lobster compared to other places that charge way more. The service was great the person who helped us may have been the owner, but he was super chill. If you haven't checked this place out yet, do yourself a favor and go! We're definitely coming back again soon!

    Really great amount and quality of food for the price. $19 for a lobster roll with a good amount of lobster is unheard of in the Seattle area. I also like that they are serving many interesting flavors for the lobster roll, based on different countries in the world! All of bread/rolls are buttered and warmed up. In my opinion they put a good amount of lobster in each roll - every bite for me had lots of lobster. The Connecticut was a classic and the lobster was soo buttery. I got the garlic parmesan and I thought there could be more garlic and parmesan flavor, but still enjoyed it. My friend got the cajun one and that one reminded us of a seafood boil in the best way possible. The crab fries were a really good appetizer/shareable item. They used real crab and they did skimp on the amount of crab on the fries. The fries themself were perfectly crispy. It comes with an aioli or spicy sauce. The owners are really kind people as well. I think this place definitely deserves more hype!!!

    This new-ish spot in the CID replaced the now-defunct Dim Sum House, which never had as much traction as the other dim sum competitors in the same area. It's such a welcome addition to the district that I was excited to try this by myself too! I came in to an empty restaurant around 7:30pm on a Saturday and was greeted by the owner at the register. Inside is brightly lit and clean, with tables spaced evenly and some fun random decor on the walls. Even the restrooms are clean, which is already a plus in my books! Water is self-serve here. I got one of the most basic rolls here: the Connecticut lobster roll. The bread is unique compared to what I've had before; it's warm when it comes out, yet it has a distinct taste like garlic bread. It's not even a banh mi baguette, it comes apart more easily yet is on the verge of becoming crispy. The lobster meat is fresh, succulent, very buttery and a little sweet. There's a lot of it too, and I actually don't prefer seafood most of the time! Lots of butter or sauce dripped from the roll while I was eating, and if it gets this finger-licking kind of messy you know it's gonna be better than good. All this was just for $20 before tax, and that's lower than other lobster rolls places I've had, with even more higher quality than those same places! I enjoyed talking to the owner Hyan while I was eating; he actually created most of the flavors himself (the Maine and Connecticut ones are standard in most lobster roll places) and is planning on making more. It was also really nice hearing how he started the concept from the ground up as a traveler, and I'm really happy he brought this location to the CID. When I come back for another visit, I'm gonna try the garlic parmesan lobster roll since he recommends it! Please come here and try the lobster rolls here! They deserve a lot more hype than what they have right now.

    Wasabi Ponzu
    Anh N.

    Came here on a Thursday afternoon and there was no wait time. Stumbled upon this place because where we were around pike market and was craving some lobster rolls but saw how ridiculous the prices were around there so decided to look up what's around. On google, we saw the variety in the menu and decided to go try this out. The place is clean, with open seating and had parking nearby. We ordered the Wasabi Ponzu and Cajun Mango. The portion and prize is unbeatable, especially in the Seattle area. Met the owner and he was so kind and told us about his journey of opening up this restaurant. The lobsters are from Boston (best place for lobster)! Overall, had a wonderful experience.

    International Lobster Rolls is an absolute gem! The lobster rolls are packed with fresh, flavorful lobster and served on perfectly toasted rolls. Every bite tasted incredibly fresh and delicious. The quality of the ingredients really stands out, and the portions are generous. The owner was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making the entire experience even better. The restaurant was clean, inviting, and had a great atmosphere. Whether you're a longtime lobster lover or trying a lobster roll for the first time, this place is a must-visit. Had a unique spin of flavors as opposed to the traditional Lobster Rolls you would normally. While parking is a challenge it is worth it even if you have to park around the block. Without a doubt, some of the best lobster rolls we've ever had. I can't wait to come back and try more from the menu. Highly recommended!

    Honey walnut lobster roll
    Paul T.

    Wife and I were so excited to try this place during our day in international district. We visited Seattle for a few days and it was certainly at the top of our anticipated line up of places. Boy did it deliver! We got the honey walnut lobster roll which was amazing. The lobster tasted great and mixed very well with the sauce. It was apparent how much care he puts into his flavor combinations as everything seems very tastefully done and balanced to let the lobster shine as well. Besides the awesome food, I have to say a big highlight was meeting the owner. He is very passionate about his restaurant and it shows in his food and his care for his customers. We spoke for probably 30mins about many things and it was such a pleasure to learn about him and his journey. Owner, if you are reading this - thank you for the very nice connection. I can't recommend this place enough! Be sure to check it out if you are in the Seattle area.

    Honey walnut lobster roll
    Janice T.

    It's rare to find lobster rolls less than $40 that aren't super small so I knew I had to visit this place! I stopped by around 4:30pm on a Wednesday and was greeted by the one employee behind the counter. Everything looked clean and there were no other diners in the restaurant. The variety of flavors of lobster rolls were intriguing. I went with the honey walnut lobster roll since I'm a fan of honey walnut shrimp. If I didn't have dinner plans soon after, I would have also ordered the garlic crab fries. The wait was about 5 minutes. Upon first glance, I wasn't sure if they had given me the right roll since the description said "with candied walnuts" and there were no walnuts to be found. The honey mayo flavor was a bit on the mild side which I appreciated- I had been afraid that it would be mayo heavy. The chives and lettuce were a bit dominant but overall, I was really satisfied with the roll especially given the price point. I would give this flavor a 8/10 but would probably not get it again. If I was in the area, I would definitely come back to try other flavors and the crab fries!

    Lobster egg rolls
    Tia P.

    The garlic Parmesan and Cajun mango rolls are delicious!! I will definitely be back to try more rolls. The crab garlic fries & lobster eggs rolls had plenty of meat in them which was awesome. The power slaw is nice and refreshing after a buttery lobster roll, I like how it uses kale instead of the cabbage. The man helping us was very friendly and checked up on us throughout the meal. Decor was nice as well, there's a cute lobster theme throughout the restaurant.

For it being less than half an hour before closing, it was packed inside, with two sections of seating for various group sizes, and a casually loud interior with a counter full of water jugs and glass cups in front of a nice plant backdrop with the name of this place in lights. Menu serves a ton of Asian fusion dishes along with some regular entrees and a ton of cocktails and wine. From my sis's recommendation when she went, I got myself the banh mi smash burger after deciding between that and the Pho-rench dip my brother-in-law had. My friend got himself the La Vong fish sandwich, which I didn't get to try though we both did split an order of honey sriracha Brussel sprouts. - For the banh mi smash burger, think of ALL the essential ingredients of a standard banh mi sandwich; then put in a regular beef patty, throw in lemongrass beef as the other meat and add provolone cheese as a complement to the pate-mayo spread. That's what this is in a nutshell, and it tastes exactly like a banh mi sandwich as a result, only in burger form. This was an absolute hit and win for me; beef patty was juicy, condiments were fresh, lemongrass beef was equally as juicy, and the side of fries made this a very filling dish! - I normally don't like Brussel sprouts because of their similar taste profile to asparagus, but I ate a ton of the honey sriracha Brussel sprouts from here. It's sweet and tangy, both of which mask the oddly earthy and bitter tones of regular Brussel sprouts. They're also roasted which further gets rid of that bitter taste I don't enjoy. We rushed a little eating since they were close to closing but we loved everything we got here! I should start keeping a list of places like this one for places I need to make a second and even third visit to for their other dishes.

The restaurant itself is decorated nicely, lots of memorabilia from various countries and even the check came out in a passport-esque binder. We got a couple of things, which I'll review down below: Carribean Pineapple Cornbread ($8): Tasty cornbread that has nice coconut flakes spread through the batter and around the cornbreads. The cornbread was moist and there is a pineapple undertone in the flavor profile. One downside was that the quantity is quite small, I think for the price, you get like 2 3x3 squares of cornbread, which I think is unfortunately not enough as an appetizer even. Chengdu Wings ($24): These wings do have a tasty flavor profile and have a fragrant aroma when you bite into them. The batter is crispy and they are pleasing to eat! Once again, I unfortunately think the suffers in terms of quantity - you maybe get like 3 wings for $24, which I personally think is a very steep price for fried chicken wings, regardless of the flavor profile. I understand that not everyone can handle very spicy flavor, and personally think that despite the name being Chengdu Wings, it serves as a good entry to Sichuanese cuisine for people given the motivation of the restaurant. Malaysian Dhal ($22): A pleasant dish that has a fragrant coconut, lime, and lemongrass flavor that represents the flavors of Malaysia well. The stew has a pleasant consistency and each bite coats your tongue with the fragrant flavors. The roti is flaky on the outside and soft on the inside - perfect for enjoying this dish. African Bunny Chow ($24): Probably the most filling dish that we have ordered at Nue - I think if you are hungry, maybe go for this one. There is a decent amount of meat in this dish, and the flavors are tasty - it feels like a slightly more toned down Dhal in terms of fragrance, but has a pleasant thicker consistency. In the end, I think Nue is better served as a Tapas-esque restaurant than a place you would visit if you are hungry. Prices vs. quantity does suffer quite a bit at Nue unfortunately, which is why I think it serves as a place to sample cuisines in a night out and then maybe visit elsewhere to complete your dinner. The food is flavorful and pleasing to the general audience, which is a good thing for people who generally aren't very adventurous in their culinary horizons. I'm not sure I would revisit, but I would definitely recommend this to people that lean more on the safer side of dining out.

    A very cute, cozy and comfy cafe in Central District! That being said, good luck finding parking…read morefor this place as street parking gets atrociously full around most times of the day, including Friday night around 8pm. Back to my rave: this place is comfy and a great place to just sit in when it's chilly outside. There's a comfy couch near the entrance, many knickknacks strewn around the inside and it's brightly lit to the point where you feel like you're at home instead of a cafe. The owner of the place is very sweet and welcoming, and the pastries shown around the area looked so delicious. For this visit, my friend and I got the Thai green tea latte, key lime tea, egg tart and a slice of tiramisu crepe cake. The egg tart was warm and yummy, and quite big too so it has a mochi-like layer inside it. The tiramisu crepe cake had tons of layers of crepe and cream along with the tiramisu powder sprinkled on top. This was creamy, delightful and calming all around, that's how good this cake was! My key lime tea is a mix of Thai tea and fresh lime juice, and I'm surprised that neither part interfered with each other too much given one is sweet and the other relatively sour. The Thai green tea latte was just as great to drink. This place is so cozy and cute, and the owner gave us great service. When you do find parking, come here for some drinks and desserts, it'll be worth it!

    Been eyeing this spot for crepe cakes but unfortunately they did not have them on my visit. I asked…read moreand got a generic "not today" so not really sure when they offer them, so can't help provide an update here. On the bright side, there's a clean washroom, the space is small but cozy, and they have wifi plus available. Solid spot to lounge. Would consider coming back crossing my fingers for a crepe cake. Strawberry Snowie Frappe - it's a solid dessert. Very sweet and likely double blended because it's not super icy, rather the liquid collects at the bottom. However the icy blend at the top wasn't watery either, there was still some flavor. Overall, it was as expected, but a decent refresher on this street.
