International Lobster Rolls

Walked by here when one day and saw a new lobster roll place was opening soon. I was curious what the “international” meant as most lobster rolls I’ve tried around Seattle were the basic traditional rolls that left a lot to be desired. I was looking forward to this place opening and it did not disappoint when I tried it out the first time. I love the variety of flavors. The lobster is moist and tastes like real fresh lobster. The bun holds everything well and does not fall apart with a perfect warm toast to it. I’ve been back 3 times already cause I’m so curious about all the other lobster roll flavors. Every time it has not disappoint. Make sure you order the crab garlic fries or lobster bisque to go with your unique lobster roll. I could just come back again and order the crab garlic fries. It’s that good!!! This place will definitely be a staple of my places to eat out. It’s affordable compared to the other lobster roll places, and you definitely get more for what you pay here in serving size and tastiness. Appreciate that it’s in the CID to offer something unique besides the usual Chinese food fare.

A Must-Try for Lobster Roll Lovers I had such a great experience at this lobster roll spot! The moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere—bright, clean, and inviting. You can tell they take pride in the details, both in the space and the food. The lobster roll? Absolutely incredible. Fresh, tender chunks of lobster, lightly dressed in just the right amount of mayo and lemon, all tucked into a perfectly toasted buttery roll. Every bite was packed with flavor and freshness. You can really tell they care about quality. I got the Honey Walnut Roll and my partner ordered the Taco Roll. We shared a side of Garlic Crab Fries. I’m telling you everything exceeded our expectations. I would 10/10 recommend coming here and trying it out at least once. I will definitely be back and will be spreading the word to friends and loved ones. Great job, International Lobster Rolls!

This is the new gem in the International District! 100% real lobster meat from Boston in 11 different international flavors. The portion sizes for the price was VERY generous. The Tamarind lobster roll was delicious. This place is the best bang for the buck! Amazing sides which could also be considered a main course judging from the portions they serve-- The crab & garlic fries were sooo good! This place is a MUST if you're in the ID or in the mood for some amazing shellfish with an international twist. This was well worth the drive across bridge!

Me and the wife were visiting Seattle for her birthday and wanted a fresh lobster roll 🦞. We found this place based off Google reviews and my goodness was the reviews right! We both got the warm lobster roll and the crab fries! It was absolutely to die for! The price was amazing, the portion size was great, and the food was absolutely amazing! The best place in Seattle to grab a lobster roll at a insanely good price! Everywhere else around town that does lobster rolls are doing a injustice by serving the small portions they do and at the price point they have. Do yourself a favor and come to International Lobster rolls for great service and even better food! Also try the new Green Thai Tea they are testing out, it was delicious!

Have been craving some lobster rolls but usually the ones I’ve tried in WA are overpriced and taste mid. But these were delicious!! And the price is amazing for how much lobster you get in each roll. We tried the mango Cajun and lemon pepper. Both were packed with flavor and the lobster tasted so fresh. We also shared the crab fries which was garlicky, crispy, and loaded with crab. Only coming here for lobster rolls from now on! Can’t wait to try their other flavors!

The vibes of this place were immediately so welcoming. I loved all the “you’re my lobster” friends references. The owner was super chill and not only provided great recommendations but had a great conversation with my friends and I about the area, his life and just total recommendations he could offer. I really hope this place continues to grow and become a Seattle staple. I definitely want to come back to Seattle just to try more of the menu.

Came here with my foodie partner Dara for lunch and this man had the audacity to return for dinner without me. That’s how good it was. Rolls inspired by different regions, Cajun mango and garlic Parmesan were the standouts. What made me smile most though? It’s exciting to see a spot in the CID that’s clean, welcoming, and full of good vibes. The rolls had that ideal ratio too, lobster forward, not bread heavy like most $27+ rolls that feel like a carb trap. Big love to the new wave of restaurants bringing fresh energy to the neighborhood. Keep going and we’ll always be here to show nothing but love ❤️

Delicious and affordable lobster roll with very generous portions of lobster meat. Bun is also crisp and well buttered with many unique flavors. I tried the garlic parmesan flavor which was savory and complements very well with everything else. I will definitely come back to try the other interesting flavors. Edit: Came back a second time and tried the Connecticut roll which was buttery and juicy with lots of lobster meat as usual. I tried the lobster bisque and it was creamy and had rich lobster taste, with extra chunks of lobster meat. This is far better than the lobster bisque I had at Mason’s which was overly thick and cheesy without the lobster taste.

I downloaded the app just to write this review, the deal for a $20 lobster roll that tastes amazing was great. The service was extremely fast, we got our food about 6ish minutes after ordering. When I asked for more sauce, they didn't even bat an eye. The restaurant had a great ambience and it was an all around great experience!

Fast casual: order at the front, find a table and they will bring your food out to you. Also nice and clean. Food came out quick, and the man taking care of us was very kind, and gave us great service. He checked on us as we were eating and brought us some extra napkins. He directed us to the water fill station since we didn't order drinks, which I really appreciated. They do have bottles of water, sodas, and juices for sale as well though. At the end of our meal he also offered to bus our table for us, which was really kind of him. Just excellent, personable service. These lobster rolls were delicious! We got the Maine and the Cajun Mango. My friend enjoyed the Maine more (a bit less rich), and I enjoyed the cajun more (lots of flavor!). They are also very filling, which is great. Sometimes when I get a lobster roll I leave a bit hungry, and that definitely was not the case here. They probably also have my favorite lobster bisque I've ever had. Creamy, flavorful, but not too insanely rich that it would upset my stomach. Just perfect with chunks nice of lobster on top. (I got too excited and mixed up and ate a couple bites of it before I was even able to snag the photo) Fries were nice hot and crispy too. I read another review that said it was a bit quiet in the restaurant, but I didn't find that to be the case, they had some music playing at a good volume (maybe they took the feedback, or it was an off day?). It was comfortable, but we were still easily able to hold a conversation. This place is directly across from Diamond Bay Restaurant which is kinda at the edge of the ID. If I didn't find it on yelp to try I might've missed it, which is a sad thought. Definitely come here and try out some great food, and support a small local business friends!

International Lobster Rolls is the perfect addition to the ID! The owner Hyan, is super friendly and is excited to bring the concept to the ID. Their menu is a refreshing twist on classic lobster rolls, by giving you options for flavors like garlic Parmesan, Cajun mango, gochujang, tamarind, taco, wasabi ponzu, honey walnuts and masala. I had the Cajun mango, which has Vietnamese crawfish boil flavors but also a touch of sweetness. The garlic crab fries are the perfect side, crisp fries topped with buttery garlic and crab meat. They've only been open for 2.5 months so get here before the crowds!

Amazing Loster Roll place to try!!! They have a great deal for a lobster roll for $20. There's a decent amount of lobster and the taste is amazing. Not only that, but they make different flavors of the rolls. I picked their most popular flavor which is their garlic parmesan lobster roll and it tasted so good. The lobster was juicy and tasty and the garlic Parmesan went well it. I also had their sweet potato fries which I very much enjoyed too. It was on the softer side but it still was good. The crab fries were good as well if you're looking to spend less but still eat some seafood! The service was excellent. The owner/server was very nice and attentive. He explained about the menu and gave us their recommendations. The food did not take long to make. The ambiance was good! Plenty of space and a decent amount of seating. It's nicely decorated and organized. The only small issue is that it's decently quiet in the restaurant so it can feel awkward. I wished they'd turn their music louder. Overall, I very much enjoyed my experience here and I'll definitely be coming back!

You like seafood at a good price and no BS?? This is it. $20 Lobster Rolls Great menu at great prices and great food. Tried it for the first time today on 8-6-2025 and so glad I did. We had their Connecticut and lemon pepper roll. Both were great but definitely would say get any of the lobster rolls that aren't the classics. You won't regret it before they really start getting packed.

The garlic Parmesan and Cajun mango rolls are delicious!! I will definitely be back to try more rolls. The crab garlic fries & lobster eggs rolls had plenty of meat in them which was awesome. The power slaw is nice and refreshing after a buttery lobster roll, I like how it uses kale instead of the cabbage. The man helping us was very friendly and checked up on us throughout the meal. Decor was nice as well, there's a cute lobster theme throughout the restaurant.

Delicious food with friendly customer service in the CID! I enjoyed meeting Hyan, the owner and learning about how the restaurant came to be. My mom has been wanting to try this place and it did not disappoint. We ordered a hot (Connecticut) and cold (garlic parmesan) lobster rolls along with a cup of clam chowder and lobster bisque. Everything was fresh tasting and flavorful. I love supporting local businesses especially those who are helping revitalize the CID. The food is delish! Good price point that doesn't break the bank. There's ample seating and it did not take long to get our food. I look forward to coming back to try the crab garlic fries.

Delicious food. Interesting flavors. Fresh lobster. Chill, laid back atmosphere. Will definitely come back to try all the flavors. Service was fast and friendly. Lots of seating for groups of various sizes.

Food - Real lobster & crab. Great taste, lots of butter and sauce. Nice and toasted rolls. Pretty decent variety of types of rolls. Service - Friendly owner, food comes out fast Ambiance - Plenty of table seating, photo op spot in the back, clean bathroom. Overall, fantastic lobster rolls and definitely need to come back and try more!

Comfort food at its finest! Delicious and filling! I had the crab grilled cheese ($16) which was chock full of crab with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on sourdough. It was very cheesy and just the right portion size. Also, the lobster bisque ($8) was buttery and topped with chunks of lobster. It was great for dipping the sandwich into. I prefer crab over lobster, but I'm intrigued to try one of their lobster rolls. The place is tastefully designed. Good prices. Fast casual: Order at the counter and they bring out the food to you. I usually take a long time to make my rounds re-visiting establishments, but I'm excited to prioritize a return soon to try more of their menu! Run, don't walk to this new gem in the CID!

This place doesn't have too many reviews yet but it's worth trying while it's still somewhat of a hidden gem! To start, they have AMAZING lobster rolls with the business using only the claw portions of the lobster so you don't have any sort of rubbery texture from the meat! This has always been my issue with lobster rolls and so I usually get only crab rolls but this place has changed my mind! The restaurant is super cute and clean inside. My only constructive thought was that the rolls were not flat toasted on each side - then again these are international lobster rolls so ofc I figured they have to be unique in their own way! Lastly, Hyatt who helped us, walked us through what makes them different and the top recommendations. The whole experience was very lovely we left very happy and full!

This place is awesome! It's tucked away on one of the quieter streets in ID. They have an inventive menu of lobster roll flavors, plus the Maine and Connecticut classics. I got the Lemon Pepper one, which had a generous heap of lobster and was well-seasoned without being overwhelming. The lobster was served cold on a warm, buttered bun. We also got a side of crab fries, which had a generous heap of crab - they really don't skimp. Price-wise, the food was worth it. There was plenty of indoor seating, and the owners were incredibly nice.

The service was quick and chill. The owner was very relaxed and honestly a great experience. It's $19.98/roll regardless of which one you get and well worth the amount of lobster you get. We got the basic rolls to try first and would definitely be back for the international flavors.

I like the fact that it's in a quiet part of town, the service was quick, I had the food to go. I went with the lemon pepper which was highly suggested. I would definitely recommend, I will be coming back to try the other rolls.

Food is AMAZING, especially the cajun mango oh my lord. Restaurant is clean and spacious. Owner was really nice and genuine. Do not gatekeep you should tell all your friends after you eat here

Saw this place on Instagram and I'm always down for a lobster roll. Popped in for the Connecticut, yummy and hit the spot. Love that the slaw has kale! Excited to branch out and try the other flavors.

I got the garlic parm lobster roll and fries on the side for $24 total! My roll was stuffed with meat it was practically oozing out every bite. My boyfriend and his friends got the Maine and honey walnut roll and they said it was delicious as well. The interior is very clean and cutely decorated. The owner was really friendly too so I hope this place takes off. Sadly I'm from Cali so I can't stop by often but my bf and his friends will #HiddenGem

What a great new place! I went along with some friends to check this place out that they heard about. You walk in and it's nice! Inspirational quotes on the wall and some Asian centric decorations as well make for a cute indoor seating area. We walk up to the menu and the gentleman helping us was very helpful with our questions. I ended up getting the Taco flavored lobster roll as well as a side of regular fries. We didn't have to wait long for the food and it was delicious! It makes me curious as to what the other flavors are like! As we were eating the same gentleman made sure we had everything we needed and was super nice with cleaning things up. I will definitely be coming back!

This place is a hidden gem. The foods are very tasty and service is good. We had Connecticut lobster rolls and lobster bisque. Both are great!

Top tier lobster restaurant! Would definitely come back again and recommend to family and friends

Definitely would recommend. Clean place and delicious food. Garlic Parmesan roll hits the spot. Service was fast too.

OK to be honest I've never had a lobster roll before so I really wasn't sure what to expect. This place has about 10 different types and they all sound delicious. I decided on the garlic Parmesan and to have some jalapeños put on it. Definitely five star The lobster is amazing.! The flavor is beyond delicious and the bread. Oh my gosh so soft so good! I highly recommend.

Great food, friendly service, super clean restaurant. Big, tasty lobster rolls for a very affordable price. Highly recommend this place to everyone.

So yummy in my tummy! I can't wait to go back! Now I hope more businesses open lobster menus.

This place is amazing! I had the Maine lobster roll and it was delicious - great portion of lobster and the flavor was so fresh! I also had the lobster and crab egg rolls and they were great! Nice and crispy with a homemade filling, seasoned very well. You can tell that they are using high quality ingredients. The service was great! The owner here gave us lots of great recommendations and he never steered us wrong. So cute and clean inside the restaurant with lots of fun decorations! Come by with a group of friends and enjoy a great meal!!!

Great place with super affordable lobster rolls for under $20! We got garlic perm and Connecticut lobster rolls! They were really meaty and fresh! I highly highly recommend this place! The owner was really nice too. He told me that he doesn't collaborate with any influencers for this place. Those five star reviews are real!

Food was amazing. I still can't believe how affordable the lobster rolls were. They were filled with meat and pretty large for a lobster roll. The flavors were great. We got the connecticut and cajun mango. Both are must tries. The service was also amazing. The owners and staff were so kind.

Food is delicious and the service was awesome! I had the Maine lobster roll while my partner had the lemon pepper roll, we both liked our own rolls better because of our differing preferences. Lobster portions were great and the lobster tasted really fresh. The bread rolls themselves are slightly crispy on the outside and really soft on the inside - it literally felt like the perfect bread choice for a lobster roll. The rolls tasted well-seasoned and not overly buttery. We also had the crab fries - the fries were hot and crispy, also seasoned well. I was a little surprised at how generous the crab portion was. We probably would've been full with just the rolls, but I'm glad we tried the fries too. The owner was super nice in helping us decide what to order and checked in on us to make sure everything was good. We were pretty hungry at the time, so it was a relief to see our food come out really quickly. Would definitely come back again to try the other flavors!

So glad I stopped by to try this place. They just opened two days before my visit. However, the place is very clean and cute inside. I got the Connecticut Lobster Roll and it was so delicious. Owner was super friendly and easy to talk with. I will definately be coming back to try more of the rolls.

Food, service and ambiance all five star. The personnel were warm and friendly. Easy access and location.

I loved the lobster roll prepared Connecticut Style. It was the perfect amount of butter and seasoning. The bread roll was soft and delicious. Great Lobster Bisque and sweet potato fries as well. Nice restaurant as well with a lot of seating!

Tried this place for the first time today. Lobster was fresh and well portioned. I got the Maine Lobster roll with the intent to return and try one of the more adventurous flavors. I will be back! Also, the fired shrimp were great!
