When Lobster Central first opened in Central, word on the street said they were Hong Kong's first legit lobster roll. I went and tried it and thought ... yeah. Pretty good. Nice and buttery. Exactly what it's all about.Recently, they have opened their second branch. This time in Causeway Bay's Tang Lung Street.

Recently, they have opened their second branch. This time in Causeway Bay's Tang Lung Street. As I live near here than Central, I came here for lunch.
Shop, though small, is larger than the Central branch as there are more seats. Just like their Central branch, you pay (cash only, no 10% service charge) at the cashier and they will bring the food to you when ready.
Menu is in English only. It appears to be the same except they now offer add on options. So you can have a soup/fries option and make it like an actual meal. Previously, they only offered this by offering half a roll But to me I thought .. I don't want half a lobster roll! Now they give you the option of adding it with a whole roll! YIPEE for this change!
I ordered a lobster roll ($138) with an soup and slaw upgrade ($65).
The soup was a lobster bisque. Sadly, it wasn't too good. A bit too grainy and too creamy in taste. Not much lobster flavor as well. Probably due to the fact they over dosed it in cream.
The slaw was a bit too watery. It did have a nice crunch and had that bit of tang that I like but it was just dripping in liquid. I have no idea why.
Of course, here is the lobster roll. I don't know if it's this place of they changed their recipe completely but it's not as buttery as before. In Central, it was like buttery goodness. This was a bit on the dry side. The lobster was also chewy and definitely overcooked. Now I wonder if the rumors are true. That the crab roll is better than the lobster roll? I guess I'll have to try it out next time to confirm.
Lobster Central now has stiff competition in Causeway Bay with Hungry Lobster (who personally, I think does a better lobster roll and lobster bisque for a lower price). But it's still a good option for me if I want a little fast food seafood. I will be back to check out the crab roll as people have told me that is what is better. So, yeah ... will be back.
