Solid spot to keep warm and get a bowl of pho on a cold day. They have beers on tap as well as additions to the meals like spring rolls for a couple extra bucks. Overall a worthwhile place to go if in the mood for Asian food. read more

Wow! What a great meal. $13 for 2 chicken cutlets, yellow curry sauce, a serving of white rice, pickled darken and carrot and a small salad. Unbelievable value! Crab rangoons slap and if you like Pho you are good to go! Damn!​ read more

This was my first time in Lobster & Pho and I was pleasantly impressed with my experience! I LOVE pho and so it was great to try a place so close by and not to have to go downtown to have a good bowl of pho. The portions and price were very good! The service was very fast. Almost so fast it felt a bit rushed but it was very good and quick. Big menu with a lot of options including seafood boils which was cool to see. I was there with a friend so I do wish they gave a bit more side toppings between the two of us but we asked for more jalapenos, and they brought some out to us happily. The place itself was VERY clean and tables were always being wiped down and cleaned. Staff was also friendly. I did not care for the potstickers they were a bit mushy for me and wish they did not come sitting in the sauce as that is probably why they were a bit mushy. I really like the special they had to add them with the pho for $1.50 or you could add a thai roll I believe for a $1 so thats awesome! Overall, I had a really great experience here and I will be back. Not sure if the pho itself beats a couple places off the top of my head downtown Cleveland but if I have a craving for pho and do not want to go too far this is awesome! read more

Used to love this place, but never again. We came in excited and didn't make a fuss at all during the meal, but every single mussel had parasites in it--completely unacceptable. The crab legs were wilted and had barely any meat, and the portions were off. Then the bill came and it was $84 for two boils with no drinks, with no clear explanation for the extra charges. This place fell off BAD. Don't waste your money. read more

They never miss for me. I probably go once a week. My favorites are the lamb pho and the shrimp pho. read more

They have great pho, always enjoy it. They have quick service, and the ambiance is normal.

Excelleny Pho, hubby ordered extra spicy, he likes it HOT and was pleased with the heat. My chicken Pho was more than enough to eat and very tasty. I tried the thai tea, it was delicious! Our waitress was very attentive and kept checking on us. Nice ambiance on the inside even though the outsides make you think differently. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants, which is why this was disappointing. I ordered a special with a few customizations, but wasn't told about a newly added special that would have fit my order and was about $20 cheaper. I don't mind paying for quality, but I do expect to be informed of all available options. Hoping staff will be more transparent about specials moving forward read more

had a great time and lobster and pho. a very unsuspecting spot in a strip mall, this seafood boil meal was a win! our drinks were great and water was refilled regularly. appetizers were done well as were our boils.we didn't get anything too spicy but probably could have. pro tip: request crab leg crackers, it will make things easier!! read more

Great pho! The broth was excellent and full bodied flavor, the noodles were appropriately cooked (neither soggy nor dry). The add on special of pot stickers for $1.50 were also very good. Service was fast and friendly. Will def visit again Edit: went back a second time a week and a half later. Just as good. Will probably go back again next week read more

First time in Ohio last week and as usual, looked for Pho to comfort me while traveling for work. With 'Lobster' in its name, I had no choice but to order a lobster roll...and oh boy, what a great decision. The roll itself was buttery, and filled with chunky lobster - all of it was scrumptious, plus it was served with fries. Even though I took the meal back with me to eat at the hotel, it was still warm and fries were still crunchy, all in all I was NOT disappointed. I am definitely going back to Lobster & Pho - and can't wait to try the Pho! read more

I was so excited to come try pho and when i got here , they told me after i ate that you HAVE to tip in order to sit down and eat! ALSO they took 74.80 out of my friend's account. read more

We ordered the R4 BBQ pork with rice. Everything on that plate was outstanding even the salads. The shrimp pho was just perfection. Loved that they allowed us to make it the right amount of spicy. The pot stickers with the pork bbq sauce it's a winning combo. Excellent service even close to closing time. read more

Finally found where to get a good and reasonably priced lobster roll in town! I meant to take my own pic, but devoured it instead, and theirs is accurate to what I received. The roll was perfect, the lobster was tasty, if a slightly different flavor profile due to use of Asian mayo. Good fries too (which also go well with the mayo, if you're inclined to ask for a side of it). Also Thai Boba tea and lovely huge spring rolls, yum! Did not expect to find this particular combination of my favorite things in one restaurant, but I'm not complaining! read more

Finally! Authentic pho in the Cleveland area. I saw on my way in that they were listed on the top 100 places to eat in Cleveland, I have to say I agree! The pho was extremely good, coming from California. It's hard to beat Asian cuisine however this is a really great authentic option for fall. I will say, however, that my Thai tea was a bit disappointing. The tapioca Boba was overcooked, causing it to be wrinkly and dry instead of soft and chewy. I'm not incredibly upset about that because it is a common issue in the area. Lastly, the chicken wings were very good, especially dipped in their sweet-and-sour sauce, everything is made to order the service is very good, and to top it all off they have a full bar. I will definitely be returning and recommending this place too many people. read more

I work near this restaurant and, as a lover of pho, I made the short trip to try out their version of pho. The idea of lobster in it is very unique, but I stuck to my usual of beef at this visit. The decor is unassuming and the place was kind of dead when we came to visit for lunch one Friday. The waitress seemed a bit irritated we had come in at all. Anyway, I ordered the spicy beef pho, expecting a kick of course, but it seemed as though they knocked an entire jar of ghost peppers in my soup! It wasn't edible and the waitress wasn't thrilled to replace the broth with the normal one when I asked her to. I got it switched out in the end, but that level of spice didn't seem normal to me. Maybe I just got unlucky? Anyway, the price for the bowls are a bit higher than average even though the serving size is just average. I'd be willing to give this place another go but don't make a trek out here if it isn't close to you. read more

Lobster & Pho - VERY spicy beef pho - Seafood Near Me - Independence, Ohio

We tried this place for the first time. I had the beef pho and vegetable roll. The veggie roll was crispy but tasted like it was cooked in old oil. The beef tasted old as well. And the broth wasn't flavorful. Once i added the sauces it got better. My coworker really liked the pho with chicken added. Apparently the vegetables were fresh and tasty. She didn't complain about the pot stickers. The service was great. I would try them again but maybe get something different. I'm giving 3 stars because my meal wasn't wonderful but my coworker seemed to like hers and service was good and quick. read more

Jill is always attentive... but the food has become mediocre.. the new cook is horrible. I frequent this restaurant at least twice a month. The lobster roll has turned into cold mush on a roll!! I'm so disappointed. The Manger lacks people skills. I don't recommend! read more

The servings here are large and the food came out quickly! The photo of my beef pho is a bit misleading because I started chowing down before I snapped the picture. I'm definitely recommending a trip here before or after you catch a movie down the street at @cinemark at Valley View. read more

I was meant to try this place over a year ago, and for some reason I wasn't able, however today I found myself randomly to this location, service was friendly and responsive, ambiance was relaxed and chill, now the food, first of all a lobster tail Pho I mean awesome. In a day where lunch can cost you $20 dollars for something healthy. This lobster pho is listed for $20 totally worth it! I added another lobster tail for $15. The Best seafood for your dollar in all of Cleveland! Thank you! I will return and bring others with me! read more

Food is delicious, but we arrived at 9:14 and they close at 10 and the host was pretty nasty about reminding us they closed at 10pm....... sooo that means I can't come eat at 9:14? Then you should close at 9:15pm read more

The food was done quickly, their spring rolls were delicious, and their lobster pho, while, for me, not a pho, was excellent.

I love seafood and do like eggrolls. EXCELLENT food from here, quickly and well prepared at an extremely reasonable price. Fresh, delicious, ample, perfectly seasoned--lots and lots of first-rate, good value food. Highly, highly recommend this place! read more

Service was terrible with a horrible attitude, the cutlets were undone.. lobster roll wasn't good either.. not a fan

Okay, I did not realize this place was a full scale restaurant. I thought it was like a pseudo fast food restaurant. This is like 5 star stuff here, I walk in and see crab legs, a live lobster tank, and I was confused. To be in a strip mall set up, I was not expecting this. The food and options are amazing, I will go back. Next time I'll plan on getting the premium plates, bring on the crab legs! read more

Never had a lobster roll before and that is what I ordered and it was so good. My kids had the pho and they weren't to impressed

This is new I believe and it's good. The concept is different as they pair creole seafood boils with Vietnamese pho. I went for the spicy beef pho and egg rolls. It was fantastic. I don't have much to compare it to since I've only had Vietnamese a few times. Everything was hot and freshly prepared. The spiciness level was perfect. They offer a full bar and the service was friendly. If this style is your thing, or you're feeling like something different, I highly recommend. read more

Terrible service. Rude. Bought dine-in, decided to change my mind and dine in, I even offered to pay extra to eat in and the ladies wouldn't allow me to do so. Literally for no reason. During regular working hours. To top it off, the food was pretty awful. Certainly nowhere near authentic Vietnamese. Recommend going elsewhere everytime, but I wish them luck as my experience is a recipe for disaster. read more

Let me start by saying this review is not about the food. Id actually give it a 5 . This is about the fact that drove 20 mins because the website as well as the door says you close early 10 pm today. I got there at 943 pm to find the doors locked and lights out. Very disappointed. read more

Excellent Service !! excellent atmosphere !!, excellent bar!!!! Excellent food!! The food was hot and served quickly.

Tried the lobster roll and fries and it was good. The fries were greasy and not crispy so that's why the rating is lower. The lobster roll was solid though and definitely filled with meat. I would go again to get that. It was about $18 read more

Traveling through the area and this little gem caught my eye. Don't let the less than appealing exterior fool you, the interior atmosphere is warm and lively. Food service was prompt and without issue. The pho tai was authentically flavored, and a cup of the milk tea was the cherry on top for this meal. read more

20% gratuity for all dine in is ridiculous. The salted calamari isn't too salty but happens to be close to if not the best fried calamari I've had in Ohio! For $11 or so you get a large portion of perfectly fried lightly crispy airy flavorful calamari. It was wonderfully crunchy and not gummy or too hard at all! The fried lobster tail was expensive at $18 and came with fries and sauce. God it stunk to high heaven like old fish. However it was lightly breaded and kinda juicy with a light characteristic lobster sweetness. Not bad but better if just steamed IMO. read more

Yum! My food was tasty! It was my first time here. I dined inside as Pho is too messy of a dish to eat in my vehicle. There are specials often and they are displayed on a board. The staff will also tell you about them. I like the layout of the restaurant and it was clean. read more
