The Corcoran GroupOctober 11, 2013When we're shopping at Chelsea Market, we always have to stop in here for a lobster roll. Start it off with a cup of their amazing New England Clam Chowder. Then get lobster to go to have at home!

The remodeled Lobster Place keeps its classic appeal while adding a proper sushi bar and soup stand. Don't miss the live lobster bath in the back featuring daily fresh lobster from Maine and Canada.
THE place 4 raw seafood: $12.99/lb live lobsters (or cooked for more $), NE clam chowder, Jonah crab claws, stone crab claws, bottarga, uni, & best variety & value of fresh E & W coast oysters in NYC!
Amazing authentic place! Huge variety of seafood and oysters! You should try Kumamoto oyster! Best one I've tried in my life. This place is great to try a bit of a huge variety of seafood.
Anastasia SiverApril 4, 2016Third time here and again it was delicious! Great selection of sushi and fresh oysters for reasonable prices. Lobster roll was good. LP is my must eat in Chelsea Market
Sergey IlinOctober 3, 2018New England clam chowder is exactly what I had in Boston! Crab cake burger is also a good thing: expensive, but good!
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍December 28, 2019Lobster Place is a very popular combination of seafood store and "restaurant." Lobsters here are excellent and in the afternoon the wait is very short. The spicy steamed shrimps are also delicious🍤
Ashley ChanApril 27, 2017Literally seafood heaven- the fresh shellfish on display are incredibly fresh and varied. However, I had the sliders sampler (lobster roll, lump crab and jumbo shrimp sliders) and was not impressed.
Michelle BurnettMarch 8, 2019The lobster roll is to die for. It has a hint of lemon. Which makes it taste really fresh. Totally different than Luke’s lobster which tastes pure and buttery. Wouldn’t know which one is my favourite.
JETApril 13, 2015This place is awesome. A huge live lobster cooked right before your eyes and a huge variety of oysters. Everything on display. Their lobster bisque is great. It's a must go to place when in NYC.
Isabella LauSeptember 12, 2014The lobster roll was so good! Perfect size and temperature. The oysters were super fresh. Shrimp cocktail was average. I recommend the lobster roll and the tons of oysters that are available there.
Jin MoonSeptember 11, 2016For the locals, get the fresh salmon to go. The back has really good chowders. New england clam chowder and scallop and bacon is pretty good.- Max WendkosJanuary 16, 2021The Maine- and Connecticut-style lobster rolls are both delicious. They’re on the smaller side, so try one of each if you’ve got a big appetite. 🦞
jon ferrerAugust 23, 2014Excellent lobster rolls, crab club and po boys. the sushi is fresh though not at the same level of a high-end sushi restaurant. also a great place to buy seafood to cook. super knowledgable staff.
T ZApril 12, 2015Got the sea urchin + a bunch of raw oysters & ate at the Raw Bar standing up. also got the yellowtail scallion sushi which I wasn't a huge fan of. no place to sit down. Fresh seafood. Lots of options.
RamiAugust 7, 2014Its your seafood haven! They offer Shrimp, caviar, Lobster rolls, chowders, shellfish, live lobster, sushi bar, fresh fish, oysters, smoked fish, steamed lobster.
Caitlin HalleMay 20, 2016Everything here is insane! I have sushi for lunch and get something to take home to cook. They have the best and freshest selection of seafood of anywhere in the city!
- Absolutely love the food and friendly staff at the sushi counter. Killer Salmon belly. If you're a regular, check out their loyalty program (info at the register) to get 10% back.
EdwulfJune 21, 2015YOU GOTTA BE HERE! Fresh fish and seafood, go directly to the far end and have an excellent clam chowder and a steamed lobster (huge portion guaranteed) around 30 USD but good portion- JessicaJuly 21, 2015Their lobster rolls are really delicious! A bit crowded due to tourists but if you're a foodie, it's definitely worth trying! There's something for everybody (unless you hate seafood of course)
MischaJuly 2, 2015Pro: the lobster in the lobster roll is fresh & you can tell. Con: the place is always packed, eating comfortable won't be an option. You can get it in a lunch box that's also good!
Jess NaldoNovember 21, 2014Just head straight for the soups and happily pour the savory lobster bisque all over your body. Rinse. Repeat. Also, great selection of fresh shellfish, sushi, and others. Did I mention soup?
Ruby AnayaDecember 22, 2015Walk straight up to the oyster counter for fresh oysters. Add on a glass of wine or beer from there too.
Anna K.March 7, 2016Lobster tastes like a dream. Selection of oysters in the raw bar is totally worth the money. Sushi are kinda overpriced, but fresh and delicious.
❀✿ YIᑎG ✿❀June 24, 2015The chirayashi at the sushi bar is the best! Service is awesome. Will definitely be a place I always visit whenever I'm in NY!
My favorite spot in Chelsea for cheap, fresh takeout sushi for lunch! Soups are awesome and you can never go wrong with a lobster roll. The oyster raw bar is a great new addition.
David ZhangJanuary 7, 2017Expensive but delicious. Lobster rolls are great and so are the oysters. Avoid the madhouse of Chelsea Market during lunch though.
Esther WeylJuly 30, 2013The lobster roll is a combination of a buttery bun and really fresh lobster that works beautifully. And you can also take it to go and eat it at the highline, that has a great view : )
dawn.in.newyorkApril 14, 2015Great place to have various seafoods like sushi, oysters and chowders along with lobsters. New England clam chowder is hands down.
Kristina BSeptember 27, 2012Fabulous place! The lobster is even better with a glass of white wine from the place next door. Make sure you ask nicely to eat/drink in the hall and return your plastic trays and wine glasses. Enjoy!
Shn JuayJune 11, 2018Go for oysters such as Pemaquid, Wiley Point, Capital and Pickering Pass. Perfect with a glass of Riesling !
Serious EatsMay 2, 2013Though this is mostly a fish market, it's a surprisingly good spot for lunch. Dependable soup can be found here, along with lobster in roll and whole form.
Oysters at the standing raw bar is a must! Great selection and variety, and friendlier on the wallet compared to dine-in seafood restaurants.
Katie SchlossJune 10, 2013Learning to cook? The Lobster Place has an entire bar dedicated to pre-marinated fish, including directions for how long & what temperature to cook them. All delicious & incredibly easy!
Rob CJuly 9, 2015The uni and roe rice bowl is to die for. I am from out of town and come here especially for this
A&B American StyleJune 26, 2013Don't miss the chance to try our Pepper Sauce on the best seafood in NYC. We recommend you pair it with oysters, lobster roll and clam chowder. Read more
Jinnie LNovember 18, 2014me n my friend had a nice dinner here. (we spend almost 5 hours in chelsea market today;;) lobster bisque, scallop bacon chowder, n the lobster rolls♥ so delicious! yumyum~
Fernando T.February 26, 2016It's a great seafood shop inside Chelsea market, where you can buy and eat seafood right in the spot.
kbd bFebruary 25, 2016I gotta say, the medium lobster is almost the same size as the small one. And they say the smaller the sweeter. You know?
Sammy BirdJuly 8, 2018This place is a foodies heaven. come with a friend and come hungry. :)#foodie#seafood#lobster
- Elizabeth LeeOctober 18, 2016Love their steamed lobster. So fresh and juicy, they serve it with lemon and melted butter. Can't go wrong with that.
Michael Fox-RabinovitzSeptember 27, 2015Great seafood mecca, roll is rather small but bursting with lobster. Also has whole lobsters, great sashimi and bisques
Great selection of seafood, particularly the oysters. Their pre-packed sushi isn't bad but opt for made to order instead. I usually go for chirashi.
julia tNovember 28, 2014Great seafood selection and good for a snack - fresh oysters, solid lobster roll. Good caviar selection. Sushi is nondescript - not the draw.
Ranu RajkarnikarJanuary 30, 2016Fresh seafood and delicious sushi at the bar. Chirashi bowl for the win.
Yvette PDecember 24, 2012The best fresh fish in NYC and I've tried them all! Plus, sushi, lobster, soup and a bunch of other very tasty ready to eat food for dinner or lunch.
LaylaOctober 20, 2019Oysters and lobsters! Pricey but so delicious, so perfect if you’re feeling a bit fancy ;)
Honghui YuJanuary 5, 2015I come here whenever I need to buy fish or seafood that I can't find in regular supermarkets, but because this is a specialty store, prices can be quite steep.
