We visited Mr Lobster’s Private Kitchen a few weeks ago with a group of family and friends (there were nine of us). We made a booking in advance and were seated at a large table with a lazy Susan, which made sharing easy.
We ordered a range of dishes from the menu—everything sounded amazing, and each dish had its own unique flavour. The standout for us was definitely the Peking duck. The crispy skin, juicy meat, and the combination with the wrap and veggies were just perfect. We also really enjoyed the green beans, roast pork, spicy chicken, and BBQ fried noodles—they were all packed with flavour.
The only downside was the slow service. It seemed like dishes were being made and served one table at a time, which is understandable, but with so many other groups there, it meant we waited over 30–40 minutes before the food started arriving. A bit longer than we’re used to, even at busy places. That said, once the food came, it was worth the wait—just something to keep in mind if you're heading there during peak hours.

A regular lunch spot for us!
Food here is absolutely top notch, our favourites would be the Peking duck and special fried tofu!
I had a birthday dinner here the other day and each of the servers were so helpful with our cake and even sang me happy birthday 🥹🫶
Particular shout out to the young man working on the Monday evening 😊
Just remember to put in your car plate number into their computer system before you dine!

From the moment we walked in with our group of 7 adults and 2 toddlers, the staff was incredibly welcoming. They quickly set us up with high chairs and adorable cutlery for the kids. Ordering via the QR code was a breeze, and the staff was more than happy to explain the taste and texture of dishes, like the jellyfish one.
Everything we had was freshly cooked, delicious, and served promptly. The place had a lively, buzzing atmosphere, and we all left feeling very satisfied and full. Thanks for a great experience!
Definitely be back 😃
