\"lukes-lobster-tokyo\"There are 6 outlets of Luke’s Lobster in Japan; Osaka, Kobe, and Kanagawa Prefecture have one stall\u00a0each, and you can find 3 in Tokyo. In Tokyo, the outlets are at Hiro-0, Shibuya, and Harajuku. The Shibuya and Harajuku outlets are near to each other. We went to the one at Harajuku, which is near to Meiji Jinggu shrine, a huge tourist attraction.<\/p>\n

\"img_9928\"Oddly, Luke’s Lobster did not originate from Japan. It was\u00a0founded in New York, USA, in 2009, getting its sustainable, traceable seafood supply from Maine, a portside area known for their fresh seafood. On the day we were there, the lobsters were from two Maine\u00a0harbors called Portland and Friendship.<\/p>\n

In Tokyo, they operate as takeaway shops although there are a few tables and chairs. People were considerate enough not to hog the seats, and people in the queue didn’t chope<\/em>\u00a0the seats. They queued, they ordered, and then they searched for seats. There should be enough seats because it is a eat-and-go place, so don’t be\u00a0kiasu <\/em>and reserve seats before purchase.<\/p>\n

When we were there at about 1pm on a weekend, there was a long queue but it moved quickly, taking about an hour. Many people in the queue were tourists, and there were many Singaporeans.<\/p>\n

\"img_9935\"Initially, I wanted to order the set (with drinks and chips, additional \u00a5400). Although the cashier could not speak English well, she made it clear to me (in a polite and amicable manner) that it was cheaper if I ordered a soft drink and chips individually as a la carte. In any case, she showed me that the chips are\u00a0Kettle potato chips and not french fries, and I definitely did not want anything from a packet. That’s great service.<\/p>\n

\"img_9933\"So we ordered a roll each at\u00a0\u00a51580. This is about Singapore $19.50, which is rather\u00a0affordable, and which may explain the queue. My advice is: each person should just order 2 rolls because 1 roll isn’t filling and you already queue so long for it.<\/p>\n

How was the food? It was alright. I appreciated that it wasn’t drowning in mayo. Oftentimes lobster rolls err on so much mayo that the lobster loses it taste. But in the end, it’s only lobster tossed in a light sauce, and I thought it was vinegary for me. It was a good, clean, fresh lobster roll, but there was no magic.<\/p>\n

I don’t think it is worth the wait for something that is not\u00a0shiok<\/em> enough. I’d rather eat at Platypus Lobster Shack in Singapore<\/a>, which costs the same price without queuing, and you get a comfortable seat. Given the power to turn back time, I certainly won’t queue. \u00a015 minutes maybe, but not for an hour. We spent \u00a53280 for two persons.<\/p>\n
