I believe it's been Relocated to Monterey park under a new name : Yu Kitchen. We love this place. Our family often goes here for delicious lobster and noodles. The portions are legit and taste is amazing. I hope the new place opens up soon and has the same server and chef! They both are amazing. read more

Lobster & Steak Express - New location and new name! - Chinese Near Me - West Covina, California

This is the one time yelp completely failed me on the reviews. I dont know if people who give this place a great review above 4 stars and above were just high on MJ or climbed out of a rock, but this was no where near comparable to any legit chinese cantonese cuisines. I rather have eaten Panda if the quality was going to be this low and saucy and salty. The service was atrocious too. 1 person handling the order taking, table service and the register. So imagine trying to get any service when she has to attend to the other tables as well. She will leave you mid ordering to handle something in the kitchen to grab a dish then come back to take ur order later. They should just make this a counter register ordering spot. where you get a number and grab your food at the counter when its ready. Cuz i sure as heck wasnt tipping 15% for this service. read more

Stopped in the other night for dinner and felt that the food was different than in the past. Not sure if there's a new chef, but there seemed to be a lack of seasoning/flavor. The service was still good, but I would have to say that the food was only average at best. We ordered most of our usuals: the Spicy Wontons (a little bland, not very spicy), House Special Fried Rice (with Chicken, Beef, and Shrimp) which also seemed a little bland, Spicy Filet Mignon (best of what we ordered), and the Kung Pao Chicken, which was not good at all. Apparently, they offer crunchy and non-crunchy, but there was hardly any chicken, and it was so small that it really seemed like all we got was the crispy coating. Plus, it was a little sweet and not at all spicy, which is what I would expect from Kung Pao. The portions are always good sized, but we were very disappointed with the taste. Hopefully, this was a one-off experience, and things will be back to normal on our next visit. read more

Been here multiple times but the last time I went here 7-8yrs ago and taste different. Fried scallops and the filet mignon was my favorite here. However, recently ordered to go here because I was craving for fried fish with garlic and anything that's has fried garlic; I would say the taste is not the same. The fried garlic they put here before is not the same kinda disappointing now. Pork chop with garlic is not as tasty as before not that salty and doesn't have that much garlic. Ordered fried fish with garlic but I don't think they put garlic they just put a lot of garlic seasoning with five spice, there's bits of garlic but it doesn't taste garlic. Honey walnut shrimp is good but not a lot. Overall, very disappointed and food still good but it's not the same as before. It didn't satisfy my cravings read more

if i could give this place more than 5 stars i definitely would! Wow this place is amazing, not just with the food but with the service. The ambiance is very calm, very nostalgic and cozy. The lady at the front, Rebecca, was very sweet kind and approachable. She was very attentive, always making sure our water was full. Something that really stood out is that she literally packed out leftovers! That is something that you usually only see at fancy steakhouses, and the fact that she did that for us made our experience that much more special. As for the food, i was in awe the whole time. We ordered the House Special Filet Mignon, garlic noodles, green onion pancake, and fried shrimp in honey sauce. For the filet mignon, it was SO good, it was super delicious, tender and all in all absolutely amazing. I would definitely recommend that dish. The garlic noodles paired very nicely with the steak bites, and i liked that they weren't oily. Green onion pancake was tasty as well, definitely would get all these items again. All in all, I will continue to come back, and recommend that you give it a try too, you won't regret it! read more

Woooaaahhh delicious , my craving for steak garlic noodles was completely satisfied. I walked in with my husband around 7pm around 7:30 it got packed . The woman working was on top of it , along with the cook. Food came out fast & perfectly cooked . A lot of people were ordering the lobster and house lo-mein I'll try that next time . The squid kung pao could have had been spicier it lacked a little flavor . I will definitely try it again with a different protein . read more

I will say the food is good but they are on the salty side. I dont think the owners have anyone eles working there because we came in and it was busy but we were rushed to get out of the restaurant. Our plates all came at different times and not together. I was told they are moving so idk if I may follow. The options are many! But if you are trying to sit down and have a meal I DO NOT RECOMMEND ITS BAD SERVICE. We had to keep asking for things, never got a refil for the whole table just the ones that we're close the the walk way. If they make a smelly food you are trapped inside until they are done cooking. I am sensitive to smells and it smelt like stinky tofu and I also threw up. Some people like it but I can not do the smell. I came here with my family we were a party of 7. I would say the food is mid but flavorful and salty read more

The food was literally just meh. The service was very fast, but the food was only ok. I'd rather go to mama Lu's literally 2 doors down. Just not very flavorful. read more

My family and I wanted to explore the restaurants outside the new Haven City Market in West Covina. The name of the restaurant caught our eyes. We absolutely love to eat any authentic style Lobster entree. Ordered: Lobster w/ Ginger & Scallion -on top of noodles Chinese Donut House Special Filet Mignon w/ rice The food was absolutely amazing, flavorful and delicious. Ambiance is nice and clean. Friendly staff and service was fast. read more

Lobster & Steak Express (West Covina) sells very fresh, plump, juicy, well-cooked lobster. I ordered the House Special Lobster, "Five Pounds" ($145 + $15 tax). The amount served is tremendously large. It easily feeds multiple people. My family and I happily enjoyed our meal. (Quick Note - Lobster Prices Before Tax: Four Pounds cost $116... Five Pounds cost $145... Six Pounds cost $174... Seven Pounds cost $203... Eight Pounds cost $232) On Sunday (around 1PM), I ordered the House Special Lobster To-Go. The staff member on the phone spoke terse, business-like English. She listed a couple lobster weights, and I selected the "five pound - medium size." Then, she asked for "spice levels," but I personally don't think it matters. I'd chosen spicy, but it was not spicy at all. The House Special Lobster was ready in 15 minutes. Fast!! Lobster & Steak Express (West Covina) is located near the busy Haven City Market Plaza. Unfortunately, Sunday (near 1:20PM) is horrifically busy. The entire parking lot was ridiculously crowded. Thankfully, after 10 minutes, I found a parking spot. Lobster & Steak Express (West Covina) is filled with customers. The interior is extremely plain and clunky, but it's relatively clean. The ambiance is nonexistent, but it's a functional place with good prices. As mentioned prior, my family and I enjoyed the House Special Lobster. The amount of lobster that's packed is very fresh, generous, and well-cooked. And all its shells are sliced open, so it's very easy to eat. The House Special Lobster sits on chow mein; these thin noodles are bouncy with little flavor. Overall, I enjoyed Lobster & Steak Express (West Covina). Although the staff is terse and and the ambiance is plain, the lobster is bountiful and juicy. This location is popular for good reason. If craving well-priced cooked lobster, I happily recommend. 4.5 out of 5 read more

While we were visiting Haven City Market, my husband was craving some noodles, so we got some from here for takeout. My husband absolutely loved his noodles, and finished the whole thing. The noodles were affordable. About $15 for a whole plate and it satisfied the two of us. This is not a fancy place by any means, but they do have some seats if you decide to dine here. read more

Not bad! Great Chinese/Viet style lobster as well as many other dishes. Only thing is PLEASE take down your website domain. It's obvious that it hasn't been used in ages as it still lists the lobster prices as $29.99. Orders are going nowhere and I'm sure the business owners are paying for something. So better to just remove instead of confusing customers and having something useless sit there. Anyways, we came here on a Saturday evening before the dinner rush and they had our order ready in less than 15 minutes when we walked in to order. They have the market prices for the lobster written down on a piece of paper next to the menu. Staff was efficient and friendly. Altogether for some shrimp fried rice and a whole house special lobster (the noodles were complimentary with the order of lobster), it was $174. It was enough to feed 5 people with some leftovers and it was meant for my grandpa's birthday and he really liked it. Lobster was very meaty and seasoned deliciously. I usually hate lobster because many times it's much too dry, but this was nice and moist. Fried rice was pretty good, not too greasy either and came with a good amount of shrimp, scrambled egg, and chicken. Really wished there was a bit more noodles because, although quite greasy in contrast, the flavor was soaked with the same seasoning as the lobster so it was great. Good food, thank god I wasn't the one paying for it lol. read more

Great little place.. amazing food.. great service.. we have been here before.. this isn't my first review for this restaurant.. our previous experience was great also . This time we tried the house lobster .. ..wow did I say wow.. I'm not usually a lobster guy.. places I have been served those 8 or 9 oz tails.. they were good but it wasn't a wow.. here it's a two pound lobster chopped up in shell I about 2 inch cubes.. house sauce over a bed of thin noodle.. the ones my wife prefers.. I'm hooked on this dish very tasty.. however the price was fairly high.. they say it's for two to four people . But me and wife had no trouble trouble devouring it . I also got the spicy clams. So good . Not wow but enjoyable.. if you have some extra cash. Try the house lobster.. but ask the price. So your not painfully surprised read more

Lobster & Steak Express - House lobster incredible, but ask price before ordering - Chinese Near Me - West Covina, California

First time going, went in the afternoon after work. The lady greeted us and sat us quickly. The place was clean and had some pictures of the food on the walls so you have an idea of what your ordering. We ordered the house special steak, spicy honey shrimp, garlic noodles, and green onion pancake. Everything was freshly made on the wok and were good portions. Garlic noodles were spot on! Not oily like other places. Shrimp was crispy and tasty. The house special steak was good and had some veggies mixed in for a variety of texture, super tender as well. The green onion pancake was excellent as well, I really enjoyed dipping it into the steak sauce. The lady taking orders was also seating people and bringing out the food, and even then with all that on her plate she kept checking in on us! For the amazing service, great portion sizes and quality it is definitely very reasonably priced. I'd would definitely recommend checking it out and will be back soon! read more

LOBSTER & STEAK EXPRESS first time being at a restaurant with a name like this very direct to the point , refreshing. It was fast paced, and for someone like me that loves a good deal, I definitely thought it wasn't overpriced for LOBSTER and good portion :) Most importantly super flavorful just how I like it ! - house special filet mignon -house special lobster add noodles = $5, it goes by pounds I got 4 pounds which was $116 -garlic tung choi Honestly one of my fav lobster spots now! I was eating it and realized little red dots all over and realized it's like some type of seafood eggs or something extra yummy The filet mignon if you like SAUCEY, is SOOO GOOD WITH RICE ! ***FREE RICE BTW The lady working was moving around so much she made me hungry watching her exercise lol ! She spoke so fast she left before i finished my order, but i enjoyed the fast paced environment!:) I WILL TOTALLY BE BACK TO TRY REST OF THE MENU!

I have tasted lobsters dish from several restaurants but never served on top of noodles. Can't wait to go back to bring friends and my family !!! read more

Instagram made me go to Lobster & Steak Express! So I had some pretty high expectations - all of which were impressively met. There was just one lady attending to all the diners, greeting the folks getting their food to go, and manning the phone. She was so pleasant and really good at multi tasking. I felt rushed placing an order with her because she was talking so fast, but within minutes, the food came. I totally got that she was wearing so many hats at once so I didn't mind the frantic energy. Their lobster with noodles was a 4 pounder and cost $116. It was worth it. They didn't just serve shells but all the meat was there. We of course couldn't finish everything so we packed the lobster in to-go boxes...but guess what? The lobster tasted just as good the next day. The salt and pepper squid was lovely. Crispy on the outside but tender inside. The fried rice was fantastic too, but just a touch too oily...which is typical for Chinese cuisine. We loved everything. The cost was around $200 for the lobster, fried rice, steak and calamari but we had a great experience and we will definitely bring friends with us next time. This is too wonderful a restaurant to gatekeep. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for awhile now. I was curious how it compares to New Port Seafood and Boston Lobster. For the House Style Lobster I thought it was good and we enjoyed the bed Garlic Noodles that the Lobster came with. If I had to choose I think I prefer Boston Lobster'a House Style Lobster. The thing about the House Style is they use a lot of strong flavors and sometimes you can't taste the Lobster as if you ordered it with Ginger and Scallion Style but here it did not overpower the Lobster. Theb Stir Fryoed Omg Choy with Garlic and the Beef Chow fun was goo as any other places. The Fish Maw soup with Crab soup was good but I thought it was a bit bland compared to Newport Seafood and Boston Lobster. We had a lot of leftovers and it was still enjoyable at home. read more

Service is super great. Menu is varied and prices are reasonable except those that are market price. The shrimp with fried rice should have been fried rice with shrimps, since there's a lot more rice. All the servings were plentiful. The only fare that stood out was the lobster and the KangKong. The place is situated on a strip mall. Ambiance is ehhhh, although it's nice and clean. read more

I am so excited and very satisfied that I have tried this restaurant. I came on a Friday afternoon for lunch with my classmates and it was such a pleasant, pretty quiet meal, a great place to wind down. The lady was sooooo sweet, she pays attention to details like clearing, trash out of your tables and replacing your shell plates. We were a table 4, and we ordered the smallest lobster and garlic noodles, filet mignon and the clams with basil.. we were so full!! The portions are huge!!! We had such a great time I cannot wait to come back and try more. Just come dine in, or order Togo you will not be disappointed. read more

I tried the shrimp fried rice and the beef chow fun and they were both delicious, especially the fried rice. Those shrimps were cooked to perfection On a side note, the Thai tea and strawberry milk tea were bomb. The service is great, we were attended by a very friendly lady and our food came out quick. The prices are very reasonable, considering the quality and portion size. This place is a good thirty minutes from my house, but I'd definitely make the drive to eat here again. read more

The lobster and noodles were outstanding. $29 per pound. I got 4 lbs for $116. I believe after it was cook it was more like 3 lbs or less. The noodles were flavorful with garlic and perfect amount of spices. I also recommended to try the honey shrimp with shell on. It was fried so crispy that you could eat the shell too. I highly recommend these two dishes to try. read more

Haven't gone there for a while. I ordered the Kung Pap Chicken. The chicken was chopped up into tiny cubes, and I didn't know if I was eating fat or chicken because the chicken was fried, not stir fried. We tried but was only able to eat about 20% of that dish. The beef and broccoli was disappointing. At least stir fry them together! No, it was broccoli on the bottom, and just a bunch of sliced beef on the top, both cooked separately. The Lemon pork chops didn't look right, as there wasn't a hint of yellow to be found, BUT, it tasted good. I did not order the lobster, so my review may not be worth looking at if that's what you're after. I don't think I will go back. read more

Lobster and Steak Express is one of the best Chinese restaurants around the West Covina area. Today i ordered their garlic fish filet, basil clams and fish filet with Chinese broccoli (gotta balance it out with some vegetables lol). Great flavor in all three dishes. I rwally like their basil with fish and now i also love their garlic fish filet. My dad really likes their basil clams. The one noticeable thing is they line their styrofoam take out container with foil (some places does not do this which can cause the food to melt the styrofoam and in to your food). Great place for some delicious Chinese food. read more
