Fishman Lobster Clubhouse Restaurant

This place deserves 6 stars. This is top notch food, quality, and service here. Tried a 3 lb lobster and their corn cream soup, more than enough for a sitting. Just as Mortons Steakhouse used to do, they bring out the lobster they are about to prepare for you. For a humble seafood restaurant to do this is something unexpected, but highly appreciated. The lobster was well-prepared, each cut of the lobster was cut and scored so that I could dislodge the meat from the shell easily with cutlery. As for the cutlery, and the furniture, it was immaculate. Upscale attention to presentation, the menu cards are spotless, the sheets are glowing white The complimentary tea was fantastic and presented with a flame stove to keep it warm The corn soup came in a pot, tasted top tier. The ambiance is amazing, an array of live lobster and crab tanks and dry aging fridges line the interior. The servers go above and beyond. They receive promptly and are attentive. They know the menu well. Overall a great place and truly a hidden gem, puts many downtown seafood places to shame really.

Fishman Lobster Clubhouse Restaurant is a full-on seafood experience—bold, indulgent, and perfect for celebrations. The star is obviously the lobster tower: massive portions piled high with lobster, crab, clams, and sides, served in a dramatic, shareable setup that turns heads the second it hits the table. The lobster is sweet and firm, and the flavors lean rich and buttery, especially if you go for their signature sauces. It’s definitely the kind of meal where you take your time, pick, dip, and enjoy the chaos. The atmosphere is lively and a bit “party dining,” with lots of groups, birthdays, and cameras out, so expect noise and energy rather than a quiet dinner. Service is generally attentive, but because everything is large-scale, timing can vary when the restaurant is busy. Prices are high, but you’re paying for spectacle, quantity, and the sheer uniqueness of the spread—this is not an everyday dinner spot. If you’re craving a low-key seafood meal, this might feel over the top. But if you want something memorable, fun, and unapologetically extra, Fishman delivers. Come hungry, bring friends, and plan to leave very, very full.

The presentation may be a bit indulgent and loud, but the freshness or flavour speaks for itself ; unreservedly recommended The dinner was memorable enough to warrant a second visit before leaving Toronto. To switch it up, we ordered the Lobster/dry aged steak set menu combo instead. Not only is the Lobster prepared perfectly, but the dry aged steak carried a beautifully caramelized crust and the interior is impossibly tender and flavourful.

I'm rating more than 5 Stars if I could!! The new Aged steak item added to the menu was phenomenal!!! Sizzling on a hot heated plate with a candle heating the plate and steak continues sizzle in rosemary, thyme, based in butter and garlic is our of this world!! Lobsters and Vancouver Crabs in swimming in aquariums across the restaurant, what an amazing scenery. Staff were excellent and attentive, especially Daniel that took care extra care to.ensure everything is in order. Atmosphere is definitely suitable for any special occasions or just having a nice dinner out with friends or family!! My family comes here at least three times a year!! So worth it!

Our family had a New Year’s Eve dinner at Fisherman Lobster Clubhouse, and it was a very enjoyable experience. We ordered the deep-fried lobster, crab, AAA dry-aged steak, and the lamb rack, and all the dishes were delicious and well prepared. The seafood was especially fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere was pleasant and comfortable, making it a nice place for a family celebration. The service was attentive and friendly throughout the evening. Overall, it was a great dining experience and a wonderful way to celebrate the New Year.

This was my first visit after their renovation. I prefer the environment at Jumbo Lobster; it feels nicer, and the service there is better too. In terms of the food, I found that it tasted pretty much the same at both locations. This one doesn’t offer the suckling pig option but does have lamb, which I don’t eat. We chose the lobster combo for 5-6 people this time, and the steak was outstanding as usual. As many people have said, the steak is better than the seafood, and it surpasses many western steakhouses like Hy's, STK, Barberian's, and Black+Blue. I’m serious about this! I always order ribeye wherever I go, and those steakhouses consistently disappoint me, but the ribeye at Fishman Lobster Clubhouse and Jumbo Lobster never lets me down. I’ve had it 7-8 times already, and maybe just once it wasn’t as flavorful or consistent, but the rest were spot on.

Consistent with my previous dining experience at the Fishman Lobster Clubhouse, the upscale restaurant excels in what they do. The lobster and steak are their unmistakable signature dishes. Actually the soup turns out pretty good; as is their attentive service.

This place has been on my Toronto bucket list for years, and we were excited to drop by when we happened to be in the area. The restaurant is like a huge banquet hall, entirely surrounded by lobster and crab tanks and steak dry aging fridges. It definitely has an elevated atmosphere, which I hadn't imagined from the pictures. We went around 3pm on a Saturday, so there was no wait and only a few tables occupied, but it got busier when we left. We had to order carefully as we only had two people. We ended up getting the smallest lobster and Vancouver crab available, 2.5 lb each. The lobster prepared in the Hong Kong style was excellent! I loved the flavor and the French fries. The lobster is prepared well so it's fairly easy to eat, and it's amazing when hot and fresh. I'd get this again. Some of the best lobster I've ever had. The crab was not as good -- we got the ginger scallion preparation, and the sauce was good, but because the crab was mostly intact, the flavor didn't penetrate to the crab meat. The meat stuck to the shell which made it pretty hard to eat. I wouldn't get this again. Next time I'd get the lobster again and would want to try the king crab. But I'd have to bring a bigger group, as the king crabs start at 6 lb! Great space and an unforgettable experience. Price is high but depending on what you order it can be worth it!

It's the best place for lobster though it's far from DT, worth for drive all the from the town. Every time when I have friend to visit TO, this is on the top to do list :) Yummy and lobster lover choice.

My family and came here during a recent trip to Toronto after many recommendations. We're a big seafood family so we were looking forward to this dinner. We made a reservation two weeks in advance to make sure we got a spot since we heard it gets very busy. It's very easy to order here as they have set dinners. We opted for the Lobster Mountain & King Crab Dinner, which was for 7-9 people ($688 CAD). The highlight was the Lobster Mountain in HK Style. The lobsters were cooked perfectly. Anyone who has prepared lobsters before knows how quickly they overcook. This dish had a perfect crust and was honestly the best lobster I've had. The Steamed King Crab was underwhelming as the flavor was a bit bland. The set menu also comes with a wine, which was nice. The service was great and I love that they let you quality check the lobster and crab by bringing them out before they are cooked. I also like that they do the conversion to USD for you. Also great experience that I will definitely try again if I'm back in Toronto!

When I first arrived at the restaurant, I thought I was at an aquarium. There are tanks filled with lobsters or crabs around the perimeter of the restaurant. We ordered the lobster family meal. They arrived to show us the lobsters and crab they selected for us. I took a photo holding the giant crab. My favourite dish was the lobster mountain with Hong Kong style sauce and the maggi sauce option as well. The sauce on the oyster sauce was flavorful. I usually don't eat oysters but this time I did. The sweet and sour pork is tasty. The beef cubes were tender, and the sauce was sweet. I would have prefered sliced beef instead. The service is great. During the meal, the server asked if I wanted to swap out my plate for a new one because of all the shells on my plate. The dessert was melon jello. First time trying it but I'll probably pick that over red bean anything. Overall a fun experience. You need a group of 10 adults to order many of the set meal plans.

This is a famous Cantonese seafood restaurant in Toronto that has been featured on many YouTube channels and even by Andrew Zimmern. We came here in March, in the midst of a snow storm, but we were determined to eat here. The ride here was dangerous but that did not stop us from eating delicious seafood. We ordered the three flavor lobster dinner which came with three different flavors of lobsters, soup, fried rice, fish and vegetables. The serving size is for 4-6 people and it was more than enough for the 4 of us. My favorite cooking styles of the lobster that I tried were the lobster with salted yolk and lobster with maggi sauce. Before they make the lobster, they bring the lobsters over to let us see what will be prepared. This reminds me of the restaurants in Hong Kong. The service was also amazing and attentive. They would change our plates when we fill it with the lobster shells. The restaurant is huge! I like how there are tanks throughout the restaurant with different live seafood. I was worried that we would have to wait to get seated, but we got probably got lucky because of the weather. If I ever visit Toronto again, I will definitely pay another visit. I want to try the large lobster mountain next time I visit!

Say Less! First stop everytime I Land into Toronto, Canada. Can you tell it's my all time favorite restaurant? Advice! Try to book ahead or there's a wait. If you want to try most of their dish bring your whole family!! Walking into lobster and king crab heaven. Wall to wall the restaurant is filled with endless tanks full of the lovely sea creatures... Service was excellent... from the host to the wait staff they would cater to you to ensure you a great experience. The Lobster Mountain ... #10! The texture of the lobster meat was made to perfection. The flavoring and pairing with French fries goes together just so well. I'm just surprise how it's fried and the meat didn't dry out and it's very tender and juicy. The King Crab Tower ... #10! You just can't rate these plates because it's all out of this world! The right amount of flavors goes into this dish. The shell was so easy to take off and the meat stayed firm together. Bottom line my whole family thinks it's the best restaurant they ever ate at in their whole entire life. Kudos to Fishman Lobster Clubhouse! We will always be back once we are in Toronto!

This place has been on my bucket list for years and I knew that when I got the chance to go to Toronto, I had to try it. It was only the two of us so I knew there was one thing that was on the agenda, the lobster tower. More of a mini tower for us though. We did start off with an amazing chicken broth soup. It warmed us up and our pallet. They bring out the lobsters for you so you can gauge the size of the lobster. I think we ate with our eyes just being surrounded by hundreds of lobsters that we asked for a 4 lb lobster between the two of us. It was wayyyyyy too much, but no regrets. We probably only needed 2 pounds but we ended up taking it back and finishing the leftovers. We got noodles with it thinking we needed some kind of side dish, but be ready, the lobster tower is also filled with seasoned fries that contributes to your satiety. We would definitely come back when we're in Toronto again.

We ordered: Lobster Mountain, HK Style, 12 lbs. Double Crabs w/Ginger & Green Onion Fried Oyster w/Honey Pepper Sauce Diced Beef Tenderloin w/Dry Garlic Sweet & Sour Pork Steamed Double Bass Poached Snow Pea Tips w/Shredded Ham Fried Rice w/Lobster Roe Overall, big portions of deliciousness. Lobster mountain was flavorful and not hard to access the meaty parts. I was impressed with how tender and meaty the sweet and sour pork was. Steamed bass was executed perfectly. Fried rice had proper texture and taste. Only criticism I have is the snow pea tips needs more seasoning. No issues with service. Great spot for special occasions or to impress tourists craving Chinese food.

This restaurant was recommended to us by a few people, even with an expensive uber ride we had to come see for ourselves during our weekend in Toronto. First of all they only take cash (USD or CAD) or Canadian debit cards. I also called to make a dinner reservation on the phone 2 weeks out of our travel date. For the 4 of us, we decided on a combo with a 6 lbs king crab and a 3 lbs lobster. The king crab is cooked 3 ways (steam, fried, and fried rice) and it comes with soup, stir fried veggies and a jello dessert. You are to pay the weight overage since they cannot find a king crab that is exactly 6 lbs or a lobster exactly 3 lbs. That is when they take out the king crab and lobster so you can see the freshness and even hold it up. There is no way we will ever know there's a weight overage, but hey what can you do right? It's great they have food gloves ready at your table because you will definitely need it. Our dishes all came out quickly and they were all delicious and flavorful. Since we only had 4 in our group, our lobster mountain and king crab tower were much smaller in size in comparison to all the big family groups around us. But even then we had to try very hard to finish all the food in front of us. Our stomachs were definitely happy after this meal. Note that they do give a fair exchange rate if you need to pay with USD. That is what happened with us and you also have to watch closely with the waiter counting all your cash. Our waiter short-counted us $40, however he did not apologize for this math error. I think it's because he has the mentality that as an "older Asian uncle" you never need to apologize. But as customers we felt ripped off and had to call him out. Hence one star less.

‼只收加拿大Debit card和现金 避风塘龙虾是真的好吃，但是服务态度是真的很差 而且是在多伦多吃过的餐馆服务最差的 The Lobster is really good and worthy for revisit, however, the service is really really horrible here. We went on Sunday noon and when we came into the restaurant, no one came to serve us. We wait for few minutes and finally someone came. The staffs walking around and nobody come to ask if we need help or if we want to order, we have to request help by raising hands. Another problem is they only take Canadian debit card or cash. Overall, I'll still recommend you to try to lobster here, it's in a fair price and taste really wonderful.

This place was so hyped up as a must try and we knew it would be expensive, but the taste didn't live up to the price unfortunately. We went for a late weekday lunch and it was pretty empty. Lobsters and crabs were all along the walls, a bit gimmicky, but good for photo ops I guess - they also bring yours to your table to check and you can take photos with them. They had 3 different menus and we were overwhelmed and hungry and settled on the Dinner Set for 4-6 people that included a lobster and a Vancouver Crab (we had 4 adults and 3 young kids). The lobster they picked was overweight so we were charged $28 more (should've asked to swap for a smaller one since kids weren't a fan). Corn soup came out and it was so tasteless I couldn't believe they serve it - same with the jelly dessert, just consider these cheap freebies of the meal. The fish and veggies were good, nothing special tho. Lobster was meaty and we got it cooked with ginger and scallions since the other options were spicy, but again nothing special. The Vancouver crab was chopped up and fried in pieces and built back together for presentation which was cute, but crab has a delicate flavor and the sweetness was a bit lost in the frying. I would give the place a 4 star, but we've had better for $400 (cash only but they never gave us our receipt). Kids didn't like the food and barely ate, so $100 per adult. Overall, the value wasn't there and didn't justify the price, so I'm dropping a star.

It's been a few years since I've been to Fishman Lobster Clubhouse but I went recently with some friends visiting from Vancouver. It's one of those places you have to experience at least once and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is huge, mostly open concept, with tanks of live seafood - lobsters, crabs, fish - on almost every wall. The décor is tastefully upscale classy. Our party of five ordered a combo that included Soup, Lobster, Crab, Fish, Vegetables, and Dessert, all for $248.00 We also added a Pork dish. We were presented with a live Dungeness crab and live lobsters for our approval. The exact pricing of our meal is based on the weight of these crustaceans. Our meal started with a clear soup that looked rather ordinary but was packed with flavour. The soup tureen had lots of tasty goodness in there, including some tender meat. The Sweet and Sour Pork dish arrived shortly later. This was so tender and tasty. The Dungeness Crab arrived next, coated with salted egg and deep fried. Absolutely delicious! The main event, a mountain of Lobster covered with crispy French fries and crispy garlic flakes was next. It was a lot of food! This dish was very picture worthy and ultimately very delicious. Our next dish was a whole Steamed Sea Bass smothered in Green Onions. It was perfectly cooked, with a delicate texture and great flavour. A very generous serving of Baby Bok Choy appeared next. This is one of my favourite vegetables and we all loved it. Our final course was dessert. I believe it was a layer of almond jelly, topped with a layer of clear gelatin with nuts (pistachios?). It was really good without being too sweet, a nice finish to a great meal. This epic meal certainly lived up to, and even exceeded expectations. The ambiance, décor, food choices, presentation, and service were all outstanding! Everyone should experience this al least once!

One of the most amazing experiences I have ever eaten lol. I said that right! I've never heard of this place until I visited Toronto. We went for a bachelor party and the food was off the charts. We got the special lobster mountain family dinner which feeds about 10-13 people and there were still food leftover! The tower crab and tower lobster were amazing. The servers are very nice and helpful. Even took pictures of our group for us. The restaurant is surrounded by water tanks filled with lobster and crabs. They even let volunteers hold the crabs and lobsters you are about to eat. Just an unforgettable experience.

Came here because I was told it was a "must". They are known for their lobsters dishes but also specialize in crabs. We got there at the right time, in between lunch and dinner so fortunately we were able to be seated right away without reservations (although i strongly recommend reservations to be made). They have set meal plans that typically include soup, a specialty item, a vegetable and another entree. They only take Canadian debit card or cash (CAN or USD). Prices were higher than expected HOWEVER the quantity is there. The had traditional dining, round tables, meant for groups, big or small. The walls consist of fishtanks where you can see the live lobsters. After you order, they show you the lobsters (and their weight since you pay per lb in excess of the meal package you get), and you even get to take a picture with the lobsters. Then they start bringing out the dishes, one at a time. The soup was probably the only thing that we did not care for as far as flavor. Everything else was great. Flavorful, unique, fresh. The staff was very polite. We didn't have any complaints about the staff other than someone taking a while to get our order after being seated. One individual that came with us rarely eats shellfish or seafood actually fell in love with their fried lobster. That says a lot about the flavor. I think if you're in the area, it's worth trying. Just make sure you have cash and a lot of it.

This place does not need any reviews. It's just an institution when you come to Toronto. Having grown up and seen so many Asian restaurants with the tanks, this place blows it under the water. Just massive wall-to-wall of so much seafood. Of course the star is the seafood tower. We got two different lobsters, one fried and one soy sauce. The soy sauce is the chefs kiss. We also had steamed fish which is as good as any Chinese restaurant I've been to. Would love to come back and try the crab seafood tower. Make sure you come with more people so you can order larger lobster so you can have a taller tower.

First time in Toronto and everyone who been to Toronto recommended the Fisherman Lobster Clubhouse as a must at least one time experience for visitors. What can I say, they were right. With only five of us and only three lobster eaters, we ordered a la carte instead of their combo dinner. We got the lobster mountain with a 4-lb lobster (5 out of 5), diced beef tenderloin with dry garlic (5 out of 5) sweet and sour pork (5 out of 5), fried rice with lobster roe (3 out of 5), fried e-fu noodles (2 out of 5), and fresh vegetable with garlic (4 out of 5). Based on the main dishes alone, it was one of the best meal I had. The e-fu noodles were overdone..too soft. The fried rice didn't have much flavor.

We got the $768 lobster combo for 10-12 people as we wanted the lobster tower and to try a variety of other dishes. This was def an epic seafood meal!! We had so much leftovers that I think the dinner combo can feed 12-14 people. Everything was fresh and tasty. I was surprised at how good the non-seafood dishes were as well. Prob not a feast on regular basis, but def worth the splurge every once in a while! Check out Jess.feed.me on instagram for more food photos!

Had a great time here with friends. The service was excellent. The food was prepared well and very tasty. The portion size were also very good. Our favourite dishes were the Peking Duck with the wonderfully thin wraps, and the whole fish 2 ways. Honestly, everything was really good in my group of international friends cannot wait to go back.

I came here for a family reunion ordered the family lobster for 8-10 people option(~$90pp). It came with a huge 31lb lobster, two smaller 8lbs lobster, soup, a beef , chicken, fried rice, desert and, bottle of wine. The lobster was definitely fantastic, however some of the fried batter on the lobster got tiring quite quickly. The oil and greasiness made it a bit difficult to go down towards the end. The other dishes were also quite good. Food is good but not worth that cost per person of $90. Food(50%): 8.1 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%): 4.0 Overall: 6.5/10

This is our go-to for special occasions for my in laws. Our most recent visit was for my mother in law's birthday celebration. Everyone had a good time, the food was delicious, and we never feel rushed to get out of here, unlike other restaurants who try to squeeze in more seatings. The space inside is modern, as cool as a seafood restaurant can be without being tacky. We usually always get the set menus as they are quite a good value for the amount of food you get. I didn't get all pictures of all the dishes because everyone was getting impatient to eat lol.

We came here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch at 12. I highly recommend coming for lunch since you get the same menu but it's cheaper. The food was very fresh and there was lots of variety. I preferred the stir fried lobster over the fried lobster, though I understand why people enjoy the fried as it also comes with french fries. I also like that the set meal that we chose came with rice, noodles and veggies making it a well rounded meal. We were 10 people and there was more than enough food without having to order extra, and we got to take food home! The restaurant is also very large and there are lots of tanks filled with sea creatures that my boys loved to look at. Over all would recommend a visit, even if it's just to try once in your life!

Visited GTA for the long holiday weekend, and my brother arranged for our rather large group (25-30 people) to dine here. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the set up with the aquariums, particularly seeing all the crabs and lobsters on display. Staff even bring the crustaceans over to you in a dolly, so you're able to inspect the poor fellows before they meet their Maker, lol. Food was prepared in a timely and efficient manner; they must run a lean operation (kudos!) as the dishes came out rather quickly considering the large amounts we ordered. Only downside I can think of, they accept Canadian debit or cash only; good thing our families had USD pocket money to pool together lol. All in all, will be back again .

The food was ok. Price is really reasonable. Service was great but when they get busy, it's hard to get a waiter because of the area we sit.

Came in for a family dinner, my sister in kaw called days ahead to reserve a table for 7ppl for 6pm. It was a friday night, normally is busy but tonight was perfect, we walked right in and got our table. From the menu, option C which is Special king Crab Dinner for 6-7ppl for $599 CAD. The following items were included: -Black chicken soup- wow such an intense flavor of chicken soup with vegetables and pork cubes. -King Crab Hong Kong Style, is the Star of the table. Tender steam king crab poached in a garlic butter sauce over vermicelli noodles and topped with fried garlic- wow its mind blowing. This is when you know i drive for food all the way from NYC to Canada, as this is the ONLY place that makes other perfect and consistent every time. By the way we requested extra noodles for an additional charge. -Fried Lobster tower with Maggi sauce and frech fries, about 8lbs- this was an additional charge as we wanted a more lobster. OMG we demolished it, savory crunchy fries, tasty chunks of perfectly fried lobster piled high! This is a must have. As an upgrade we did 8lb lobster. For sire we cleared the plate, nothing was left- we chomped down to the last piece of lobster and to the last french fry! -Oyster with honey pepper sauce, wow perfection. Savory and sweet fried oysters drizzle with the hiney pepper sauce on top, make sure you get a beer to go with this! -Cubed tenderloin with fried garlic, beef is very tender and flavorful and the extra fries garlic just adds more depth of flavor to the meat! -Steam sea bass, after having all the tasty stuff first. The sea bass just gets lost in the menu. Was good, steamed perfectly. -Poached snow tips with goji berry, sweet and savory the veggies are so tender and silky! -Fried rice with lobster, savory treat that was brought to the table almost at the end For any lobster be sire to talk to your waiter, our dinner end up adding an additional $250 charge for the bigger lobster and the noodles but it was all worth it! We love this restaurant! But bring cash and be reayto spend about $130-150 CAD per person when you do upgrade to the existing meals they have on the menu for large groups. Of course you can order a la carte that is entirely up to you. Bill will have a service charge included automatically so dont be alarmed. Overall this was a fantastic way to eat and get together with my family.

Stumbled upon this restaurant back in 2015 when we visited Toronto. I was very impressed not only by their food and reasonable prices (mainly by U.S. standards) but also by the amount of king crabs they had in wall-to-wall tanks all over the restaurant. I have never seen anything like that! I seem to think that they have changed hands more than once in the last nine years because the English name of the restaurant seems different every few years (I have looked them up on Yelp a few times when my friends asked for recommendations) even though the Chinese name stays the same. However, the menu stays very similar. The three of us shared the $499 King Crab and Lobster Dinner for 4. It included special daily soup, a 6-lb king crab cooked 3 ways (steamed crab body with egg white, fried crab legs with Maggi sauce, and fried rice in crab shell), a 3-lb lobster in Hong Kong style, poached snow pea tips with Goji Berries, and dessert. The king crab and lobster were slightly over the specified weight and we paid $72 and $26 per pound respectively. I don't understand why some Yelpers thought that they were too expensive because the few restaurants I came across around the Markham area were all charging $75 per pound for king crab. So the $499 set dinner was a very good deal! The food was very fresh and tasty and aesthetically pleasing. Even the daily special soup was an excellent silken chicken soup that took hours to make. It was delicious! The restaurant seemed bigger than it was nine years ago. There were even more tanks filled with lobsters and king crabs. And there was a large collection of wine. It was just a very vibrant and lively atmosphere. Service was excellent: plates were constantly replaced and food came out with very good pace. I'll definitely be back next time I am in town, especially with the favorable exchange rate.

I don't really understand the hype I've seen over this place... I guess there's the experience of taking a picture with the giant crab when they bring it over to your table to show you what will be cooked (cost is based on market price x weight), and there's that lobster mountain dish you can order... but the taste of the food wasn't anything special in my opinion. Though not bad, you can get similar flavours in many other Chinese restaurants around the GTA for a much cheaper price, hence why I'm giving this place 3 stars. The cost didn't seem to be worth it's quality. The atmosphere is also like any other Chinese restaurant uptown, a large dining room with lots of round tables, and some fish tanks with the live animals that they will eventually serve. The service was good though, as the servers were attentive, and quick on all requests. One key thing to keep in mind is that they ONLY ACCEPT CASH OR DEBIT.

A lot of hype and well deserved! I've heard so much about Fishman Lobster Clubhouse and had been salivating for the opportunity for a long time. Their main claim to fame is seafood obviously, and most often the focus is on the Fried Lobster Tower. The Lobster was perfectly fried, stacked piece by piece, on top of well seasoned fries was incredible. The Lobster was so tender and succulent, and seasoned very well. The pieces were chopped up in a way that lobster crackers were not needed. Honestly I never thought I'd recommend fries at a Chinese restaurant but dam these were irresistible. I'm still thinking these fries might be the best fries I've ever had. Skip the Jasmine rice or Longevity Noodles, save your carbs for these garlicky seasoned fries. My meal also included Dungeness Crabs, Longevity Noodles, Fried Rice, Beef Filet and Fried Fish which was all quite yum. The Dungeness Crab was perfectly steamed and quite easy to pick through the shell for the meat. Your waiter may try to upsell quantity so be firm on your selections, otherwise service was very attentive and friendly on a weeknight. Definitely recommend visiting for this unique experience if going to Toronto for sure.

My wife and I were already planning to visit Toronto this year, when I started watching "Ugly Delicious" on Netflix. Towards the end of the Chinese Food episode of Season #1, they visited Fishman Lobster Clubhouse, and after seeing the deep-fried lobster tower being served there, we knew we had to check this place out. Without hyperbole, this is the best Chinese restaurant I've ever been to. Aside from the unique opportunity to eat deep-fried lobster, the service was impeccable. This included proactively changing our plates when there was too much of a build-up of empty shells on the plates we were eating on. And I know Chinese restaurants get a bad rap for not having clean bathrooms, but the Men's Room was very clean when I needed to use it. We went on a Tuesday night, and the place was packed. You absolutely need a reservation there. I called a week in advance, and asked for 6:30PM, and they were already booked solid for that time, so we had to make a 6PM reservation. The place is not cheap, and they only accept cash (but they will accept American cash as well as Canadian cash...just make sure you ask for the exchange rate if you're using American money!). But this is such a unique experience, that I am so glad we visited them.

I'm pretty sure the 1,000+ reviews of this restaurant have said every single positive thing possible about this restaurant, but, if they haven't, I will be more than happy to fill you in on how AMAZING the food is here. Let me start by saying, it's almost a rite of passage for Asian tourists (all people are absolutely welcome, but a majority of the customers happen to be Asian) to visit this restaurant when they visit the Greater Toronto Area. I've been to Toronto on a few occasions, but this was my verrrrrry first time here and I will never, everrrr forget how good the food was. This was one meal where I can proudly say was worth every bit of my hard-earned money and that's saying something for a cheapskate like me. We made reservations a week in advance for an early Tuesday dinner at 6pm and the large parking lot and restaurant were PACKED already! You would think it wouldn't be crazy busy on Tuesday, but it might as well have been a Saturday, although I don't even want to think about how busy they are on weekends. The restaurant is huge and I would say maybe only 2-3 tables were empty, at most, throughout the evening. Our family of 4 were promptly seated at a large table, that could probably seat 10. Menus were immediately provided to us and off we were!!! Basically, there are 3 menus - Lobster, Crab or Seafood a la carte. The Lobster and Crab menus were all pre-fixe packages, but customers have the option of adding a la carte items (e.g. soups, rices, noodles) to the package they pick. As it's a seafood restaurant, be prepared to spend more than a pretty penny because everything is pricey. Oh, and they ONLY accept US/CAN cash or CAN debit. We were only a table of 4, really 2 1/2, since we had our little ones with us, so we couldn't "pig out" and order 10 different items, but we were more than satisfied ordering the Lobster HK Style Dinner For 2-3, which came with: Soup of the Day (Chicken Soup) Lobster in Hong Kong Style (4 lb.) Sweet & Sour Pork Steamed Bass (1.25 lb) Poached Snow Pea Tips w/Goji Berry Dessert Also, we added a Lobster Roe Fried Rice because, well, rice is in our DNA :) Whatever you order, the restaurant drags over a tub with the lobster or crab you will be eating that evening (pretty cool gimmick) and showcases it to you. Feel free to take any photos with your still living, breathing dinner before it is whisked away to its demise. Sounds grim, but to the "meatarians" out there, it's business as usual. Before I talk about the food, I do want to say that I LOVEDDDD the pre-fixe style menu because it just saved us a wholeeee lot of time of trying to pick and choose. There were 15 different Lobster dinner choices and 6 different Crab dinner choices, for groups of allll different sizes, so there's something for every group that walks in here. OK, food time. Food was FREAKIN' DELICIOUS. I mean, OK, I get it, this place has a ton of hype and Instagrammable photos about it, but, damn, the food backs every bit of that hype up...and then some! Everything we ordered was spot on, as in legit Cantonese-style, really tasty. The soup bowl literally had a chicken inside and had about 10 servings of soup in it. The Sweet & Sour Pork, Steamed Bass and Poached Snow Pea Tips were excellent. Our a la carte Lobster Roe Fried Rice was some of the best fried rice I had in a longggg, longggggg time. Yes, it's just fried rice, but DAMN GOOD fried rice. And, the serving sizes of each of these entrees were more than fair and easily could have fed 4 people. Now, for the 4lbs of lobster???? You can say we ordered the smallest possible dinner choice, which was for just 2-3 people, and the lobster mountain (which is what this restaurant is known for) was the smallest possible one, but, it still looked HUGEEEE. My wife and I absolutely obliterated the mountain. We basically split 4lbs of fried lobster between us since our kids didn't dive in much to it...and it was AMAZING. Some of the best lobster we have ever, ever, ever, ever had. What more can I say about this mecca of Cantonese-style lobster and crab? The employees were super professional. The waiters were friendly and all spoke English and Chinese. Every employee inside wore a mic and earpiece and the non-waiters looked like they worked at the MIB. It was definitely like a well-oiled machine inside as employees navigated between tables. This restaurant is more than an Instagram photo opportunity. To say this was a most satisfying experience is an understatement. Definitely one of the best casual dining experiences we have ever had. ANYWHERE. PERIOD.

Food was amazing. We chose the HK style lobster and it's delicious. We opted for the $198 2-3 ppl combination. Highlights: -lobster is delicious and 2 finished all. -steamed fish is yummy too. - sweet and sour pork (Soso, we didn't eat much ) - veggies is great when you eat all that fried food. Service was great because we went at an odd time as the restaurant was empty. The lobster was a little more than 4 lbs so we paid $24 more dollars than $198. There's a service feed. I would come back again.

The lobster and crabs were fresh (i mean they were literally live). Food was good but a bit overpriced in my opinion. It's worth if you go with a huge group and get the seafood towers. The atmosphere is nice and lively. A little busy tho I would recommend making reservations before going during weekend.

龍蝦山基本上係for 打卡 但點都要試一次 味道好嘅 龍蝦新鮮 尤其係龍蝦尾特別好食 不過呢度嘅避風塘同香港有少少唔同 竟然有啲甜 覺得好似搶咗龍蝦啲鮮味 有機會再嚟食 應該會叫薑蔥/椒鹽 薑蔥蠔反而幾失望 零鑊氣 啲薑蔥好似淨係鋪喺面 冇炒過咁 啲蔥食落去青味好重 啲醬汁死鹹 冇乜蠔油味 蠔嘅炸粉好厚 最後個蝦膏炒飯 正常水準 不過唔夠香口 唔夠惹味 雖然踩到咁 但其實唔係咁差嘅 個人認為點都要試一次 而且價錢正常 72CAD incl tax+tips 龍蝦都好新鮮 建議去可以叫套餐 （加蜜汁生蠔） 叫多啲人去食 咁會抵啲 （5-6人去相信可以50蚊埋單 I've heard people saying that Lobster Mountain is a must-try. But some say it's overpriced, and the lobsters aren't very fresh. Luckily our lobster was good and we enjoyed the whole experience. We ordered a Hong Kong style lobster. However, it didn't taste very Hong Kong. The sauce was a bit too sweet, overpowering the original taste of the lobster. The oysters were fresh, but I didn't like how the sauce was separated from them, and the coating was too thick. They were salty and not very flavorful. The fried rice was good though, but it lacked what we call in Chinese "鑊氣" The bill came out to be $72 dollars per person, which was reasonable, but I believe there are Chinese restaurants with cheaper prices and better quality. If you're here for the ambiance and photo opportunities then this is the place for you.

Came here for a set menu for 10 people. We had 10 people in our party, and still had leftovers. The lobster was the highlight, and the rest of the dishes in the combo were all delicious. The pricing for non lobster / crab dishes are very reasonably priced too. Aside from the lobster, I especially like the diced beef tenderloin and oysters.

TLDR; cash only restaurant (takes CAD or USD), pricey but very generous portions, delicious but can get salty. I had a spontaneous roadtrip across the border to Toronto and this restaurant is always viewed as a must visit. There's so much hype over it and so I had to try it for myself. I came during lunch on a Saturday and there were a good amount of customers inside but even more tables than I expected so we were seated immediately. It's actually a huge restaurant and has a parking lot so it makes it easy to get to. Inside felt very open and spacious despite the amount of tables and our table was *gold*, giving very high end feels. The server came with our menus, which was all set menus. We were originally going to get the Lobster Mountain Dinner but opted for the Lobster Lunch in Hong Kong Style (but with the Lobster Mountain) cause our server actually recommended it since we wanted a FAT lobster. We got one 14 pound lobster and the other option would've been two smaller lobsters. The meal came with lobster roe fried rice, snow peas, and dessert but we also added sweet & sour pork. The service was much faster than I expected so the food came out pretty quick. The sweet & sour pork was one of the bests I've ever had. No bones, all tender juicy meat with the delicious balance of sweet and sourness. The snow peas were fairly bland but I didn't mind cause everything else had so much flavor that I kind of needed something to balance it all out. The lobster roe fried rice was so flavorful, I couldn't stop eating it. They were also very generous with the lobster roe so you got it in almost every bite. The dessert was like an osmanthus and almond jelly. It was not too sweet (an Asian favorite term for desserts) and very refreshing after this heavy meal. The star of the show is clearly the Lobster Mountain. It was piled high with big chunks of the lobster (which they brought out to show us before cooking it) and surrounded with fries. The lobster was fried and heavily coated in seasonings that was yummy but gets overwhelming after a while. The meat was so chunky and succulent. The fries were also delicious, coated in the same seasonings and fried really well. Overall, a must visit for sure, at least once. There were 5 of us and we had 2 trays of leftover lobster where we continued to eat it for 2 more meals. Despite the seasonings getting overwhelming in saltiness, it was still so delicious. I would still revisit cause I wanna get the crab mountain next time!

Food - mediocre, I've had way better seafood dishes. Service is average. Ambiance is ideal for large groups.

The food was so good, we forgot to take a picture. This place is such a treat. It is quite expensive but totally worth it when you feel like splurging. The service is quick. The restaurant is pretty loud and kinda old, but we still have a very good dining experience nonetheless.

FYI -- this restaurant is cash only!! And it's also $$$$ so start piggy banking your cash in advance to save up for this place, lol. Apparently this is a pretty famous restaurant (even my mom was telling me). One of my friends have been here a couple times with his family and he enjoyed his experiences here. We made a reservation over a month in advance and still got the 8 PM slot this past Saturday for a table of 4. So definitely call in advance and secure a reservation! The restaurant is large with lots and lots of tables. The way they seat the chairs felt really awkward and uncomfortable for me, but it's to make room for the servers and the seafood they cart out. It takes awhile for the servers to come around to get your order. If you get any of the seafood options like lobster, crab, etc., your server will roll a container of live seafood to show you (and your table approves it) before they take it back to the kitchen to prepare it. I'd expect to be at the restaurant for at least 2 hours. Our group got the FISH, CRAB & LOBSTER DINNER (3-4) for 248.00, which we felt was the most worth it for us. We wanted to get a variety of crab and lobster (prepared in different ways), but we didn't want to splurge on the expensive stuff like king crab (mainly because we didn't know if we had the palette to taste the difference between crab and king crab and it was almost 3x more expensive). Also, if your lobster or crab weighs more, they will charge you accordingly, too, lol. The order comes with the following: SOUP OF THE DAY This was a light herbal soup with black chicken (!!) and goji berries. It wasn't too seasoned with salt, but the chicken provided a deep flavor that I appreciated. It tasted healthy, yet rich with a lot of good ingredients. I definitely enjoyed it. LOBSTER IN HONG KONG STYLE (5 LB.) Hong Kong style implies fried with lots of seasonings (dry garlic, etc.) and fries. Apparently, Fishman is known for their fried lobster tower, so if you know you like that stuff, I'd highly recommend it. I typically prefer my lobster stir-fried with ginger & scallion sauce, but I couldn't deny how delicious this one was. I hated how much I liked the fries but these fries were so crispy and whatever seasoning on this really hit. I loved eating the fried parts off of the lobster shell and enjoying the fresh lobster meat and flavors. Truly phenomenal. I'm not big on fried foods, but this was my favorite tonight. STEAMED CRAB W/CHINESE WINE (2.25 LB.) I felt like this one fell short, and lacked a lot of flavor especially since we got the lobster in Hong Kong style. I didn't really enjoy this as much and the claws and legs of the crab didn't have much meat in them either. The lobster body was for show. We flipped it over and it was just brains, lol. POACHED BASS WITH OIL (1.25 LB.) I didn't get to enjoy this too much because it was on the other side of the table. But the fish was cooked perfectly as it was tender and juicy. Definitely smother plenty of soy sauce/oil onto each bite of fish because it makes a huge difference. By itself, the fish is on the blander side with some light sea briny flavors, but the soy sauce is seeped with the flavors of fish and the oil makes it even better. FRIED SNOW PEA TIPS W/DRY GARLIC We got this stir-fried instead of fried. Vegetables are good additions for every Cantonese meal, but we definitely ignored it and focused on the seafood. It was on the blander side, and I felt like it could have used more salt or umami. DESSERT It was a leaf shaped almond jelly? Maybe with coconut? We were so full by this point that we didn't really think much of it when we ate it. We also got 4 pounds of crab ("the smallest crab you have please") along with everything else. VANCOUVER CRAB FRIED W/GREEN ONION & GINGER (29 PER LB) I really liked the green onion & ginger sauce and it definitely enhanced the flavor of the crab a lot more since crabs have a lighter flavor. I personally didn't love the crab here and felt like it was too bland. Maybe getting crab with the Hong Kong style would be better so there's more flavor. I'm glad I came here to see the hype. We got way more seafood than we could eat and the bill was a bit over 100 per person after tax and tip (12% gratuity). There were some hits, some misses for me. Overall, good experience!

you'd find me here every time I visit toronto. the pre-fixed combos they have is meant to have rice, noodle, seafood and veggies which is a great spread. although it's definitely not cheap but the quality is there and you'll always leave full and satisfied along with some left overs!! they're cash only so make sure to bring some cash and make that reservation because walk ins is pretty much impossible if you come on weekends!!

It's been a while since the last time I dined at this restaurant (blame COVID). A group of us decided it's been long overdue for a gathering and everything for the sake of the "gram", we picked fishman lobster for their infamous seafood meals. We decided on a "two lobster dinner set" to be shared amongst us (group of 7). The portions of each dish were certainly enough for each of us and all of us left with a happy full tummy! The highlight was definitely the lobsters! Personally, I loved the HK style the most- garlic flavour was strong with a hint of spice, the fries were also fried to perfection, something I bet every kid would LOVE to eat... even for us adults we fight for those fries! The beef tenderloin was also memorable as they were so tender, accompanied by crispy fried garlic pieces was just ADDICTIVE! The sweet and sour pork was crispy and despite them being saucy, each piece of pork was still really crispy and still able to maintain a bit of crunch in every bite. Honestly, I don't have anything to complain about the experience. Was service lacking? Not really as I thought it was quite attentive for a Chinese fine dining restaurant- servers would come around and change out your plates full of lobster shells and provide clean ones. Pricing wise I thought it was reasonable with roughly $62 per person and you got to have 3 seafood dishes.

My family really loves this place and we always try to come here at least once a year. I also try to bring friends and family who are visiting Toronto here. The interior is filled with fish tanks filled with crabs and lobsters and the decorations matched the theme. You get to take photos of the live lobster and crab after ordering too which is pretty popular amongst my family members. We would get the set menu as it comes with various things but the best thing would be the lobster tower which we get HK style. It comes with loads of fried garlic and fries as well. The fried rice is also amazing cooked with lobster or crab roe. The service is not too bad especially for a Chinese establishment. They only, however, accept cash or debit (US or CAD notes). It does get a bit on the pricier side which is what you can expect from a seafood place.

The food and service was excellent. Worth the drive from central Toronto. Bring plenty of cash. This place is cash only or Canadian debit card. No credit cards. Starting fixed menu around $200.

I had a lot of friends who recommended fishman lobster club house in Toronto and I have to say I was a little disappointed by all the hype this place got. This place is cash only so make sure you bring at least 100CAD per person. We ordered one of the set courses with sweet and sour pork, lobster mountain, a steamed bass, as well as pea sprouts. The meal started with some egg drip soup which was also solid. The sweet and sour pork was very good and the pea sprouts could've been salted a little bit more. The lobster was solid but not amazing and best lobster I've ever had in my life good. I would probably rate the lobster a 3.5/5 overall as it was lacking in flavor. It would be good if they provided butter or some sort of dipping sauce to impart more flavor into the lobster. I think if my friend wanted to come here again I would come again but I wouldn't be the one who suggests coming here. The presentation is good but some of the food is average for the price, and I'm not sure if I got a bad lobster but to me this place is a bit overhyped.

We've been here twice. Once for dinner and once for lunch. Service: I feel like this was hit or miss. Dinner was great and efficient. Lunch was slower and felt like they were trying to upsell you on items or getting rid of dishes they have extra of. Food: We've had their lobster tower and it is quite a sight to see. Intermixed with the deep fried lobster is garlic chips and deep fried little fish. It's definitely very flavorful. The only downside I felt was some of the lobster was more shell than meat. For lunch dishes, we've had their e fu noodles with eggplant and shrimp. Lots of shrimp that was cooked well and a big plate of noodles. Vegetables dish was cooked and seasoned well. We also had their crispy vermicelli with sweet and sour beef. It's a pretty fun dish as there's crispy noodles on top and saucy noodles on the bottom with lots of filing. Price: Definitely on the high end for Chinese restaurants.

Easy parking, super helpful and friendly service, and delicious food made this the perfect excursion when visiting Toronto. Definitely make reservations, it's impossible to get a table on the weekends without one but you can get a spot on certain weekdays if you're lucky. Every dish was prepared perfectly with the Asian flavors we all know and love. We ordered the 2-3 person lobster combo with extra fried rice which came out about 300 CAD or $220 USD, and for me it was pricey but worth it. It was enough to feed a group of 4 or more and was the perfect feast for our night. We loved the tender, meaty lobster chunks and the delicate sea bass preparation with the perfect ginger soy sauce. Just be aware that HK style lobster is pretty dry so you may want to try some other prep if you're more used to the buttery Asian Chinese style prep. I liked the flavors especially with the fries so would do HK style again. The sweet and sour pork was amazing as well!

Do you know how there are tiers in a video game? Well this restaurant is truly an S-tier Chinese restaurant. The food served here is the best I had. The dining area is surrounded with live lobster and king crab in their tanks. You know it is very fresh . We started off with the sweet and sour pork, and beef with fried garlic. Probably the best I have ever had. The flavor is on point and I want to go back for more. As soon as they brought that huge lobster tower, I was shook... Never in a billion years that I will see such beauty. The steam crab is really good and it is not to heavy in terms of flavor compared to the lobster. The vegetables are also flavorful and it helps cut the heaviness down from the seafood. Overall, literally the best seafood I had in my life!

Food service. Waiters will help you choose which set. Would come with at least 4 people minimum. Food was excellent and worth the hype. The fries on the HK style lobster tower are addicting and delicious

Came back to this restaurant because we had friends coming from out of town and was it ever an experience! Unlike other cities in North America, Toronto is one that has been fortunately enriched by multiple cultures and share a vibrant Chinese food scene. This place is no doubt one of the best restaurants to visit when bringing friends from out of the country. Not only is it actually a superb deal when it comes to the cost vs. portion size. We are always holding our bellies after this meal and it is a special one indeed. We ordered the 15lbs lobster tower set combo. It came with beef, sweet and sour pork, a soup, a veggie dish, a steamed fish, and the famous tower of lobster. The lobster meat were cut to bite-able portions that you could easily rip through with your teeth and fires nested in between and under the dish. The lobster was hot and ready to eat the moment it securely rests on your table. As always we had leftovers and it came to about $80 per person. I was super impressed and will return.

We went here for dinner, and were absolutely happy with the food quality, it's obviously very fresh the seafood. The service was wonderful, and fast, they even packed our takeout for us. We had the second combo I think, with 4 lbs of lobster, the bass and the veggies. But they restaurant was lovely and substituted the lobster rice for us becuase we don't eat pork. This was a delicious substitution. The dessert was jello, which was much better than their sesame soup they used to give. The fries on our lobster mountain were a little stale, but other than that we absolutely enjoyed this meal and the experience

Classic restaurant for family outings or any celebration! love the huge lobster towers. Food is delicious and I especially recommend trying King Crab! The server is fast and the waiters check up on you often.

Came here for a celebration and it was packed! We were luckily able to snag a reservation on the same day for a Friday night. Haven't been here in years so we were all excited for the lobster tower dinner. I miss the times where it came with the little fried fishes, instead they have replaced that with fries. Anyway, my favourite dish is the lobster roe fried rice.. this time around it lacked flavour (maybe it just needed more salt). The lobster was as good as I remembered. The beef sirloin, sweet and sour pork, and veggies were also good. I think we were about an hour into our meal when we started to get rushed by the servers. We were asked three times if we were ready to pack up (there were some leftovers). Didn't appreciate the rush.. hence taking off another star. Otherwise, the food was great.
