Lobster was $40/pound when I visited and also required a 1-day advance order. Excellent attentive service from the staff. 1 VIP room area with 2 tables, each seating 10. Minimum charge for a VIP table is $400. Rice is $1.95 per bowl (not large). Nothing special about the interior. Plenty of free parking. For those who like pork belly, get the Dong Po pork.
