the B) Pork Jajangmyeon was so the worst I have ever had and I have had it often elsewhere. My usual was closed but I still wanted to get some of my mom's favorites for her birthday. The noodles portion was very small and the sauce sooooo watery that it barely coated the noodles. Mainly, it was just lacking in flavor! I don't know how this stays on the menu as I can't imagine this dish having a following. Then there is the G) Korean Style Sweet and Sour Pork --another moms fave which is always paired with jajangmyeon. While the portion was generous, things quickly went downhill as we started to eat it. OMG--it's a miracle nobody lost a tooth! The deep fried pieces of pork were so tough and also flavorless, and the sweet sour sauce was meh. And lastly, the 58. Salt & Pepper Pork Chop was also extremely disappointing. This very popular dish which we order often at other restaurants was amazingly bad. Other restaurants fry the pork pieces with a light dusting of flour or cornstarch and stir fry again with fresh garlic, chilis, and S&P. However, their version was actually battered and fried with slices of garlic which may have originally been dehydrated--not sure. But the battered pieces were nice and soggy from sitting in the takeout container and the flavor was also just not there.
This is not my first order from Lobster King and I have ordered other dishes many times with excellent results which is why the above was truly disappointing. You know, how you want to have a great go-to where you know you are going to be happy shelling out $150 for a takeout dinner? Anyhow, the shrimp egg fuyong and beef with vegetables, which we have ordered before, were excellent this evening--the only redeeming dishes from the entire dinner. And in the past we have ordered fried rice, chowfun and other dishes which have not disappointed. I will still go there but I know exactly what to order when just a couple of dishes are required for lunch or a quick dinner.

Seafood chow mein noodle was tasty but portion small and gravy was not thick. Deep fried chicken was more like roast chicken. Jajangmyun was missing from my order.

B) Pork Jajangmyeon
I've had much better on island, there was little to no flavor. Maybe it was an off day, but I would not order this again. I should have checked the reviews on the jajangmyeon before I ordered.

Food was great! Order correct!! Need to pack and secure the containers better for drivers. Lots of the gravy or sauce leaks out of the container and in package. Other than that we enjoyed our meal!! Thank you!!
