Hailing from New York City, USA, Luke's Lobster set up shop in May 2015 at Tokyo’s iconic Omotesando, combining the sweet, succulent meat of Maine lobsters with perfectly grilled sandwich bread. The seasoning is simple, yet the taste is incredibly satisfying. Luke's Lobster serves three varieties: lobster, crab, and shrimp. For those wanting to mix things up, there’s also an option with a half-and-half combination of flavors. The signature lobster sandwich is normally priced at 980 yen for a regular portion. For double the lobster meat (with the same bread size), you can opt for the US size at 1,580 yen. And if you’re worried about not having enough, you can add chips and a drink for an extra 400 yen.
If one sandwich isn’t enough, you can also add other snacks. (Photo source: instagram@lukeslobster_jp)
