Royal Lobster 2250 Kalākaua Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96815

"This place is tucked away downstairs but soooo worth finding! The lobster rolls are the best I have ever had! No fillers- just lobster meat and butter on a toasted bun, side of aoli, chips and slaw for 29.99. It was a whole lobster! So good! A+++++"

"I got in line and ordered my Lobster Roll to go. First off, the service was excellent and lightning fast! I was given my bag and booked it home. The presentation in the to-go box was like I was sitting at their table. Everything was packaged nicely. It evens came with instructions on how to dress the roll. The lobster was fresh and perfectly cooked! I added just a touch of butter and old bay seasoning because I really wanted to taste the fresh lobster. The slaw was a great addition as it gave a little extra tang to the combination of roll and chips."

"LOVE THIS PLACE! An absolute hidden gem, hole-in-the-wall type atmosphere. Royal Lobster is the only place on island that will give you a whole bun full of straight lobster and not try to put any filler veggies in to take up space. There’s only two dishes, a lobster roll and lobster salad. Both priced at 30$ (market price?), which is a little steep for your average meal, but it’s well-worth the treat. It’s always quiet, which I absolutely adore. There’s some inside and outside seating for dine-in, but you can do take-out. The staff are always kind, they make suggestions for how to enjoy your meal. Like what seasonings they recommend and when to use your garlic mayo. I’m going to miss this place so much when I move off island. If you want to try any Hawaiian-owned small business, this is the one I recommend!"

"For a satisfying Lobster Roll experience, I highly recommend visiting this place. The brioche bun is delightfully soft, and the lobster is not only fresh but also delicious."

"This location will take some searching (or good ol’ GPS) but if you like lobster, it’ll be worth the effort. As the name suggests, lobster is this restaurant’s specialty. The Lobster Roll and Lobster Salad offer the best value for your money. Just be prepared to fork over a $20 for either dish. I chose the Lobster Roll and I was not disappointed. It was tender and slightly sweet, the roll was soft and perfectly buttered, and the offered lemon wedge gave it some extra tang. The coleslaw was okay and the chips were decent. There’s not much space to eat inside. It could reasonably fit around 10-12 people at most from what I remember. Fortunately, there was nobody else there when we arrived. If you’re willing to seek this place out, you’ll be rewarded with delicious lobster prepared by people who know their trade."
