Lobster at $3.99 each! What's not to like about that, especially when its preparation is so tasty?
A friend and I went to Ocean Star to celebrate Girls' Night Out and ordered the lobster special (and a scallop & vegetable dish that was delicious). We were (1) disappointed and (2) outraged. What we got for $3.99 was the end of the tail (where it fans out), the end of the head, part (and only part) of a claw, and the body part. Almost nothing to eat. When we asked about where the rest of the lobster was -- specifically the meaty part of the tail and the claws, we did not get a satisfactory answer. All we were told was that it was a small lobster. Hello! The good parts weren't there.
The Chinese couple next to us had a lobster, and the amount of lobster on their plate was twice what we had.
We'll never go there again, which is a pity, as the flavor of the food was good. And I used to love their dim sum.
Pros: Cooking is very tasty
Cons: Advertised Special Wasn't
