Luke’s Lobster Opens At Shaw House In Orchard Road – Is It Worth The Hype?

Many Singaporeans (myself included) were really excited when we heard that Luke’s Lobster was going to open at Shaw House in September this year. However, I knew that the queue was going to be crazy initially due to the hype, so I decided to wait for a while before going down.

Luke’s Lobster is a US franchise famous for their lobster rolls. Interestingly, they are very popular in Tokyo too. I have checked out both the US and Tokyo versions before so I was curious to see how the Singapore branch would compare.

Luke’s Lobster SG is located on the first floor of Shaw House. When I went down last Wednesday at 3pm, there was no queue at all and I only had to wait about five minutes for a table.

Menu

The simple menu offers Lobster Roll ($25.50), Crab Roll ($23.50), and Shrimp Roll ($21.50).

The most popular item is of course the lobster roll, which uses lobsters from Maine, USA.

To try all three flavours, go for the Luke’s Trio ($33.50).

Alcohol lovers will be happy to know that beer and wine are available too.

Lobster Roll

I ordered the Lobster Roll ($25.50), which came with generous chunks of juicy-looking lobster meat sandwiched in a toasted bun.

The lobster chunks were fresh and juicy with a nice briny taste, but I wished the bun was warmer. Personally I would have preferred to enjoy the tasty lobster meat with a hot toasted bun.

Conclusion

My verdict? My lobster roll from Luke’s Lobster was definitely quite tasty, though it didn’t blow me away. However, it is worth a try if you haven’t eaten it before. If you are wondering, the price of the lobster roll here is similar to the prices in New York (USD17 / SGD24) and Tokyo (¥1706 / SGD22).
