God, yes! I don't especially enjoy lobster, but the Lobster Tempura at R23 was one of those "you haven't lived until you've tried..."
$55 for a modest platter, lobster and veg, to share, btw

I've given up trying to find good Maine Lobster (the ones with claws) on the west coast, but then again, I have to go to NYC several times a year on business, so I load up there. If you've ever seen a really fresh lobster, it's a lively "bug", and you have to get a good grip on it, or it will get away from you. They flop around almost like live fish. Every lobster I've seen in LA is lethargic, if not almost dead, by comparison. Call me a snob, but like a donut, live lobster loses its flavor and texture with each passing hour. I spend my $ on sushi instead.
If someone can point me to a place that has "lively" lobster, I'll very well may check it out, but I'll ask to see the bug first, then decide on what to order.

Has anyone been to that Lobster place off Melrose? It's right by Popeye's chicken and not to far from Astro Burger by Paramount Studios.
