I have been seeing this truck around town for several years. The other day I saw one parked in South Pasadena and was driving by, so thought I would pick a lobster roll up for dinner. There was one gentleman running the whole show, including taking orders, payment and preparing the food. He appeared to be quite efficient and was friendly and polite. I ordered the lobster roll with prawn butter which just sounded fantastic. I didn't order any sides or drinks since I was taking it home and had some other accompaniments for the meal. Lobster rolls in general are on the lighter side. I have quite a small appetite but even I could have eaten something else afterward. However, the rule had a fair amount of lobster meat in it including pieces of claw, the more prized cut. The toast was crunchy and soft inside. The melted butter was served on the side so it wouldn't make the bread soggy. I noticed there was a fancy hot dog on the menu with good quality meat. I guess that is for the person that doesn't want lobster but I'm not sure why they would even approach the truck given the theme. Overall it was quite an enjoyable experience. read more

Their site says Sherman Oaks on Saturday 12:00 - 1:00. A bit pricey but good food. The only problem i have with them is lack of consents hours. Island is nearby. I've eaten there for a long my ,time waiting for them to show up so l can get my fix. : read more

Yikes. I drove to Carson on 8/21/2025, but the truck was a no-show. I tried again the following day (based on the schedule that was posted on the website), yet the truck was missing in action. It's a slap in the face to post a weekly calendar, yet no-show 2 days in a row. Since no-showing seems to be a common practice, I won't bother returning. read more

Had the Lobsta roll with butter and a side of Chowda. Both were delicious through and through. The roll was filled with lots of juicy- large pieces of meat (including claw), just perfect with the crispy, buttered roll. The chowda was savory and rich, full of wonderful flavors of smoked bacon, clams - sooo good. I am hoping the price of lobster will drop soon - as this delicious though pricey small sandwich has gotten even pricier - almost too high for me given the portion size. That won't stop me from coming back read more

Lobsta Truck - Menu Aug 2022 - Seafood Near Me

Okay I saw the truck made a U Turn on Ventura. I pulled up walked over and looked at the menu. I was intrigued by the crab roll, it's only a buck less than the lobster roll could be that good? I asked the man in the truck if it was King Crab. He said no it's red crab from Maine. He saw the wheels turning on my head and said 'we really are know for the lobster'. GOT IT. thanks for showing me the light without saying 'hey dummy it's not call the crab truck The lobster roll did not disappoint. It not the cold lobster roll with mayo and celery, it hot lobster and drawn butter on a perfectly toasted and buttered roll. If you like lobster and you haven't tried this, you have failed as I had until today. This thing is a masterpiece of simple but delicious. Now they advertise DWAI hot sauce. I'm thinking why would anyone want to change the flavor of this already perfect sandwich. Well this sauce, I believe, was literally designed to go with seafood, especially lobster with a ton of drawn butter. It has a hint of citrus, and the perfect amount of spice to kick up the amazing flavors you're already tasting. This roll could be a bit too heavy with the sweetness of the lobster and the amazing drawn butter. Every third bite a slash of the DWAI sauce makes it that much better. Excellent and the man in the truck Jay, just a superb human being! Don't wet the bed, Try the LobstaTruck!! Sorry no pictures, as soon as I got the roll I couldn't even wait to take the first bite and the boom, boom , boom it was all gone. read more

Three times at the South Pasadena location he is a no-show when he is scheduled to be there. We look up his schedule before we drive there. We drive in traffic to his location, and there's no one there. Very disappointing! read more

Tried the lobster roll and it was very bland. Had it with the butter and there was absolutely no flavor, thinking I should have asked for the mayo. The lobster roll was really underwhelming and I probably won't go back again. I did however give 2 stars because my husband put the hot sauce on his and he said "my roll was bomb, probably not worth the money but..." For being the Lobsta truck it's not that great with lobsta read more

Found the truck and thought let's give it a go. Wish I had NOT had that idea. Bland should not be the first descriptor of a lobster roll but that's what you are going to find here. But if you really need to try on your own, get the mayo because at least that is seasoned. Then expect to pay a massive amount for a tiny return. We ordered two rolls and two soups. Splurged and added extra meat. Nearly hit $100 bucks. I hate giving 1 star reviews. I always try to find something that gets to two stars. Just can't in this situation. I had such high hopes. But would never stop for a second round. read more

This is not a food truck to chase after or wait in a long line. However, if you are craving for lobster and if it's conveniently nearby, then it's good enough. The lobster roll (3.5 stars) was small and $13. Luckily, I wasn't too hungry or else I would have wanted and more. That's the usual price point I've seem from other trucks. It includes fresh lobster in a soft bun. I chose the lobster roll with butter, but it could have used a spritz of lemon. Service (3 stars) was quick but not too friendly. I prefer the lobster rolls and friendlier service from Cousins Maine Lobster. read more

Every time I've had, it has been buttered and chewy to perfection. Sweet plump juicy lobster.! It's been a while, but I remember how good the crab lobster rolls were. I am about to save this place. Let you know. Hold onto your lobster because it's fully loaded. DONT will come out. They don't play about the portions which I love. This place to explore sample and close your eyes and be a symphony of heaven. Well, least that's what it does for me! read more

Heard good things about this specific lobster truck and it does live up to the expectations but I absolutely could have ate 2 on top of the clam chowder. The bread looks so good and it taste just as good!!! It was crisp on the outside and moist on the inside! Now the chowder, it was good but it wasn't hot more like a warm temp but not warm enough for me. They're here in Sherman oaks on Saturday's and Beverly Hills on Thursday's per the cook. Deff a must try even once read more

My wife is from Maine, so she's really picky when it comes to lobster rolls, and I've learned her ways having traveled to Maine a lot since we met. We love the rolls from the Lobsta truck. We live in Sherman Oaks so it's convenient when they're in the area and we always stop by if we happen to catch them. The gentleman who always takes care of us (shame on me for not catching his name) is always very friendly and polite. I'm surprised to see comments that say otherwise. Also, their hot sauce, DWAI, is amazing. I consider myself a bit of a hot sauce connoisseur having collected dozens of hot sauces from countries all over the world, growing my own peppers, and making my own chili oils and sauces, and this one has quickly become one of my favorites. I'm already looking forward to our next rolls. Thank you Lobsta Truck. read more

Got my pandamit lobster roll fix at the Lobsta Truck. The rolls are buttery, toasted, and lots of lobster. The bun is what appears to be a Kings Hawaiian bun. Not very big but good. Can get extra meat. Price is $14, but Lobsta rolls are not that plentiful. For me, quality is worth the price. Also, the clam chowder is very flavorful and clammy. I'm happy and looking forward to the next one. read more

My dad found this truck through a facebook food group he's part of and since he is a fan of lobster rolls, we thought we should try it out. Before I begin, I do believe on their website it tells you where the truck will be located. There was only one person working the truck so it was a wait for the food but my family didn't mind. When we ate the food we were very big fans of it. I got their crab roll and it was delicious! I took off two starts because of their price and portion. For the size of the rolls, the prices were too expensive for me. It was good to try and their food was amazing but their price is the only thing stopping me from coming back. read more

They came a few days ago to universal/nbc lot and I just so happen to walk by AFTER eating lunch! Grrrr. So you know I had to eat again, ordered a lobster roll, butter only and I mean minus the claw I found in it it was as expected. One guy came back and ordered another one and said give me mayo and butter. Hmmmm. Noe that sounds even better. Too bad it was like 14 bucks so no seconds for me. I've had the lobsta truck before outside of trader Joe's off 3rd and la brea so I knew they were legit. The guys are REALLY friendly and it's a honest good snack for some and meal for others. :) read more

Taste: Acceptable, given that lobster rolls aren't exactly an LA specialty. Don't expect the lobster to be Maine fresh, though. Value: Pricey/moderate due to the small size of the roll (it's a normal hot dog bun). Novel to try once, but probably won't be a repeat customer. read more

The owners haven't even claimed this page and don't bother to respond to comments. I've been coming for years but their service keeps declining. The trucks look rattier and rattier. The guy who serves the Guitar Center location couldn't care less. A few months ago they downgraded their crab meat. And frequently run out of crab mid day. Today I went and there was a dirty sign in the window saying he'd be back in an hour. What gives Lobsta Truck owners? It's clear you don't care about your product or service. read more

Lobsta Truck - Crappy sign. - Seafood Near Me

I've been wanting to try this truck for years. Finally, I tried it. Three lobster rolls, three crab rolls, and three clam chowders. $151.00 It's not only the price; but also, the quantity, and the quality, that left me disappointed. Having worked at a fast food restaurant- I suspect that at the end of the truck's stop- A lot of food went to waste. I believe that it would've been better to "load up" the sandwiches, than to waste food. read more

Really bad lobster and crab rolls at Lobsta Truck. We ordered the lobster roll and crab roll. I hoped to try at least one of their two soups, but they ran out. To start with the lobster roll, it was a disappointment. It was very bland. It was well cooked lobster, with a nice tasting butter. Though, you don't really get much flavor from just lobster and butter. There was no other seasonings, maybe some paprika, or even celery bits would be nice. What you have is a bland tasting lobster roll. Another big upset is how there were pieces of shell. I thought at first it was just one bite, though it was on multiple bites. The crab roll was another problem. Surprisingly the lobster had more flavor than the crab roll. What I personally like was how the crab was really juicy. Though again, it was bland. There was no seasoning whatsoever and no additional components. The bread for both rolls were cheap buns. The flavor of the bread was a nice sweet and toasty. The presentations were not so appealing to the eye. Again, no greens or other components to complement the rolls. The quality tasted well actually. Both the lobster and crab tasted fresh. The portion is upsetting. The rolls were both unfortunately small. You're paying 15 dollars for 4 bites. The price does not match the portion. I received my order fast because I was the only one in line. The truck itself is very clean and eye catching. The reason I wanted to try this truck was because of it's eye catching truck. I do not recommend getting lobster or crab rolls here. read more

27.83 for a lobster roll with extra meat and was hardly any extra lobster. Wonder what it would have been if I didn't get extra meat?! ‍ But that's not why I'm writing this review. I have had this lobster roll a few times b/c I always see it. I always have to put garlic salt on it when I get home b/c there's no seasoning, but today the lobster made me incredibly sick. I'm still hurting as I write this. I noticed when eating it was a bit off in texture but like a dummy I kept eating it and I'm paying the price. I feel like I have to throw up and my stomach is hurting bad. Can't wait til this is out of me and the pain is over TMI read more

Perhaps the anticipation, the excitement, and the hype...were all set too high. I enjoyed it, but I've had so much better. While I couldn't say no to eating here again, I also wouldn't go running down the street like a madman (again). 1. Clam Chowder ($4 cup): those were some real clams in there in a good and thick creamy and potato base. If your slightly clam-squeamish and like them really minced up, don't get it. They are chopped in large pieces, perhaps 1/3 or 1/2 of one piece of clam meat. This baby is hearty and filling, and I liked it. [4.0 stars] 2. Lobsta Roll ($12): Hot dog bun size, with 3 oz of meat. Choice of butter or mayo. Served a thin roll (like toast), toasted, and a tad of melted butter on it. Disappointed by the portion -- a man needs more than a 5" sandwich. I needed more butter and a little salt, and for $5 more, they'll add more meat. The roll, meh -- thin and tasted like Weber's Wonder bread. [3.0 stars] 3. Crab Roll ($11): Flick and flack, the same as the Lobsta roll, but I did like the consistency better as the meat is naturally shredded so easier to eat. [3.5 stars] 4. Service: lovely peeps. A 3-person crew were so nice and quick churning out the orders. [5.0 stars] 5. Overall: Really tasty, but eyes were not rolling back. Perhaps the freshness later in the day (dinner vs lunch?). The novelty of lobster rolls on a truck is quite clever, but eating it on a gum-filled sidewalk is not my idea of "wow and ambiance is great, too". A lobster roll, to me, should come with a side of salt air. [3.75 stars] Truck location: Woodbine & Overland, Palms read more

I don't have any lobster rolls in my past to compare to, but Lobsta truck is pretty darn delicious.

That butter! The clam chowder is pretty delicious as well. read more

I have wanted to try this truck for the longest time and finally I was able to and man I really enjoyed it!! The truck wasn't as busy as what I was thinking it was going to be. I ordered a lobster roll with butter and it felt amazing. This lovely small bite sized lobster roll was very filling for me. But I can see why many people would complain about it. I think you get what you paid for and this is well worth it! Just try it out and see how it is but if you like it, than just come and eat two of them. I did try the lemonade but it wasn't that impressive. But the Lobster roll is a must try. The taste is just awesome !! :) read more

I finally had to the chance to try this truck when it was in El Segundo last week. It's been on my radar since it first opened. Last month I was in Boston so I had the true lobster roll pretty fresh in my mind. It definitely can't compare but I thought it was still good. My friend and I split both the butter and mayo lobster roll. We also got a cup of their clam chowder. We both agreed that the mayo one was better. The lobster on both rolls were a little inconsistent. Some pieces of lobster were tender and some were a little rubbery. I did like the toasted bun they used. It was toasted perfectly with a little bit of butter. The chowder was creamy but didn't have a lot of clams in it. Total for one roll and the soup was $16. Pretty expensive if you ask me. It was good to try it once but I wouldn't go out of my way or hurt my wallet like that again. I was still quite hungry after also. read more

I have to give this truck an update with an extra star because I've had their competition...Cousin's Maine Lobster. The lobster rolls and bread is better here at Lobsta. Cousin's mayo lobster roll is stupid, all they do is squirt a line of mayo on it and place "normal" cold lobster meat on top. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but I seriously could have done that myself! All I'm saying is, if the Lobsta Truck and Cousins Maine Lobster trucks parked next to each other I will pick Lobsta any day. read more

Was it just my lucky day...??? because I know I am not easy to please and this lobsta roll just blew my effing mind!!! 5 solid stars and I didn't even eat it on the sidewalk - I drove it home to eat it at my dining room table. I've heard of the Lobsta Truck before as it has come near my office but since I'm usually gym'ing at lunch - food is the last thing on my mind but holy hell, I have been missing out! I came across the reviews for Lobsta Truck this week and decided I would check out their schedule, see when they are around and plan on checking them out sometime. Well... it just so happened they were going to be in my neck of the woods today - so I added it to my calendar and planned on being around to pay them a visit. I made sure to hit Lululemon to try on the spandex BEFORE heading to them to pick up some lunch ;) They were parked on Ventura Blvd in Sherman Oaks in-front of Guitar Center from 12P - 230P (street metered parking available) No line, a few people getting into their cars with their lunches and a few others sitting down eating. I walked right up and ordered (they accept debit cards). I had their Lobsta roll $12 with butter (because regardless of how crazy I get mayo will NEVER in this lifetime be an option for me) then I spotted a blueberry bottled soda OMFG! I'm in LOVE with blueberry so I knew I HAD to try this. These two were the most perfect combo! The lobster was so fresh and delish, perfectly shredded not to thick not too thin, texture was perfect, bread was perfection. I was so impressed. I could also probably eat two of these Lobsta rolls if I wanted to, but I will pace myself and perhaps even eat it in the car or on the sidewalk next go around. The blueberry soda is so fantastic and this Lobsta roll, my oh my! BEST DECISION I'VE MADE ALL FREAKEN YEAR!!! I will certainly be enjoying this fine duo again. Ah-maz-ing! read more

I got to try the Lobsta Truck when they were in Culver City. I came here and got: Lobsta Roll with butter $11 Lobsta Roll with Mayo $11 Crab Roll with Butter $9 Clam Chowder (Pint) $6 When I say roll, I mean french roll... not sushi roll. And the rolls are a little small like the review say. It's about 4 inches long. First the clam chowder. I'd say the clam chowder was about average. I actually think the Campbells Chunky Clam Chowder tastes better. Crab Roll - No clue. I only got a tiny chunk to try! Lobsta Roll - (Butter) - Good. Kind of chewy. 4 Stars. Lobsta Roll - (Mayo) - Better than the butter. Of course. All that mayo. Both are pretty good actually. I picked up the order to go for myself and some other people. .. so it was a little cold when I ate it. I'm sure it'd probably taste even better warm! I'd come back. read more

Meh. The order- 2 lobsta rolls Lg clam chowda Sm lobsta bisque 2 bags of chips The lobsta didn't taste fresh. The texture felt too soft for it to be freshly picked. And didn't feel like they put enough meat in the sandwich especially for $17.00 per sandwich (apparently we missed the memo of the price increase). The soups were bland with no proteins in them. I guess that's why they say you can buy extra meat. The decision- I tried it, I'll pass. Wasn't worth the money. read more

I was thrilled to see that this truck had made another appearance at the OC DinDin A GoGo... this time, without the line of thirty or so people! I figured this must be a sign from the food truck heavens. We were destined to try the Lobsta Truck. I casually tried to walk over, but failed and ended up half galloping, half sprinting, to the truck, just to be sure that I would beat the typically nasty lines for this truck. I decided to order a pint of their clam chowder (which I've heard so much about) as well as a Lobster roll, 1/2 butter and 1/2 mayo. As soon as I got the food, I dug in... and the food definitely met expectations. Though the clam chowder was just the slightest bit watery, I could barely tell because it was so creamy and rich! As for the lobster roll... I couldn't really tell the difference between butter and mayo but it was still so good! Smaller than I like, but then again... where else can you get a Lobster roll in little Irvine? I don't usually repeat food trucks, but I'll have to go back to this one, even though the prices are kind of lofty. read more

Lobsta Truck - Lobsta Truck's Lobster Roll with 1/2 butter and 1/2 mayo. - Seafood Near Me

On a day when there were 20 food trucks parked on the same block, which truck had the biggest crowd in front of it? The Lobsta truck clearly won that contest. They serve up a fairly small menu. Lobster roll or Crab roll (will mayo or butter), clam chowder and potato chips. They do have pretty quality stuff. I went with the lobster roll which they prepare in a very minimalist fashion. Grilled thick cut toast folded over chunk lobster meat (claw and tail) with either butter or mayo. It was fabulously tasty! A bit pricey though. At $11, clearly the most expensive stuff on the block and a small portion. Maybe 4-6 bites at the most. So, maybe grab some from other food trucks to fil up afterwards! read more

Lobsta Truck - Seafood Near Me

Overhyped!! Expensive, not as warm as expected, but it's lobster! The truck was outside the office building that I work at, so some coworkers and I decided to go check it out. All the responses regarding the taste were positive, but everyone agreed that it was very pricey for the size of the food. When I heard "lobster ROLL," I thought of more of a roll, more premium bread kind of thing, but it came on some buttery toasted white bread instead. I also expected the lobster roll to be warm, but pieces of the lobster were COLD! Yeah, lobster is expensive and whatnot, but woooow.. this truck must be making such a great profit because white bread = cheap, drinks are overpriced, and there wasn't /that/ much lobster inside the lobster roll. It took us more time to go outside, order food, get the food, go back to the building than it did for us to eat the lobster rolls. Anyways, it's a good place to try once or twice if you're into this kind of thing. Articles say that lobster rolls are very pricey at restaurants, but at least restaurants (sit-in ones) have servers. One coworker took one bite and she enjoyed it so much that she got another lobster roll! If it was $6 instead of $12, then yeah.. maybe, but omfg.. it isn't filling! read more
