LOBSTER SPECIALS ONLY ON SUNDAYS!
We source our lobster fresh from our good friend Ian, who actually comes to Chinatown from 9am–1pm, all the way from Wales. He’s got his own fishing boats, It’s all freshly caught the day before, and he drives all the way to Manchester Chinatown in the early hours of Sunday morning. He’s been doing this for over 20 years.
He’s one of, if not the best, seafood suppliers in Manchester in our opinion. He sets up right behind our restaurant in the alley. He’s got all the best seabass, lobsters, clams, oysters, crabs, razor clams, and squid.
We pick it up from him around 10am, then walk about 2 minutes back round to the restaurant to clean, prep, and prepare them for Sunday service. We usually get around 20 lobsters, and his lobsters aren’t small either.
You can order them with traditional ginger and spring onion, salt & pepper, or garlic and butter. We serve them with our broth pho soups and stir-fry pho.
We’ve been doing this since we opened, and it’s become a tradition here at our restaurant to serve lobsters every Sunday.
