Family of 5 adult travelers craving seafood went here for dinner. Wow. Excellent. Live lobster and fresh fish are here for your personal selection (until they run out). You pick, they weigh and tell you the price, then you pick the method of cooking and flavor. We got the 3 largest lobster, snapper and lapu lapu. 2 lobster were steamed and 3rd was grilled over coals. Snapper was also over coals and the lapu lapu was fried. Just awesome with fair prices. Lots of great sides. We got here about 6 pm and almost all their live/fresh seafood was gone by 7. Get here early.

Went here for dinner after our island hopping tour. Place was highly recommended by our tour guide. It’s close to the town center, but we had to take a tricycle to get here. The place is unassuming, simply decorated with native artwork, nothing fancy. You are welcomed by a couple aquariums with live lobsters and fish. They also have fresh seafood laid out in beds of ice to maintain their freshness. We came on a weekend and the place was lively with a band offering guest to sing karaoke. We ordered a couple of live lobsters served with butter and lemon, lapu-lapu fish cooked in garlic butter, pork sinigang, calamares, and squid bicol express. All of them were yummy but the highlight was the lapu-lapu. The lobster was okay but little chewy. Ambience and service was great. Lobster king is definitely recommended.

Good lobster quality. The lobster is alive and once you pick the ones you want it is grilled on the barbecue with a butter/garlic sauce. We also had their clams and prawns skewers which were also good. Be aware that based on your choices (mainly the lobsters) the bill can get a little pricey.

From the outside it’s a rather unattractive place and inside they haven’t bothered too much with the decoration but this is clearly a place where people come to enjoy the food and enjoying we did! Near the entrance are some tanks with lobsters and on a table nearby are the fish on offer. You choose what you want to have grilled, cooked, fried or steamed and you can choose what you want it with (rice, salads, vegetables, etc). Between the two of us we had a large grilled Pampano fish, a steamed small lobster, a lovely salad of sea grape (seaweed) and an eggplant salad with rice. It was a lot but it tasted heavenly and we cleared it all off, the price was reasonable, cheap by European standards.

We have a very satisfying dinner at The Lobster King. Started with the Ensaladang Talong which was grilled to perfection and smothered with a fresh tomato and onion topping. The added shrimp paste all made it very tasty. Next came the hand picked from the tank 1 kilo lobster grilled with garlic butter! Delicious and fresh like the steamed Lapu Lapu whole fish garnished with onions, peppers and lemongrass in a soy ginger sauce. Steamed veggies and garlic rice were finishing touches to this incredible meal. Seafood doesn’t get any fresher than this! Don’t sleep on the Lobster King!

Restaurant was nice like the friendly staff, who are ready to serve you. They have quite a selection of live and fresh seafood available. We picked a live lobster from their aquarium and was at good price. They cooked it for us to how we liked it. We also picked fresh calamari, and we requested it to be stuffed and grilled. They also had a live band who also took requests. Great atmosphere. Good for couples and for families. Also, for large groups, they would be able to accommodate. Their pork sinigang was also great. I would recommend this restaurant.

We had dinner here and we were welcomed by a live band. The singer was actually good but the speakers are too loud it was hard to carry a conversation in our table. We weren't craving for lobsters so we ordered buttered garlic shrimp, nilagang baka, chopseuy and pork bbq sticks. The shrimp had a really great flavor in it but it was overcooked that the skin was hard to remove. We still finished it and ordered extra rice because the sauce was bomb! The nilagang baka was also good. We wanted to eat veggies and the soup had a lot in it. The chopseuy was good but it wasn't what we were used too. Their version is dry, no sauce and has chunks of corn in it. It was delicious.

LOBSTER KING CORON Definitely a number one choice for super fresh very wll prepared seafood. Being on the sea ensures the availability and most food is cooked on open fire. All the lobsters and such are in the tanks and you can choose. We ate here couple of times as it was so vertgood. Service was fast and good. Full dinner with beers was $35 so great value. We ate there over a month many times and it was always 100%.

Walking distance from lodging this was a great choice for dinner. I had a lobster, steamed with garlic butter sauce and garlic rice, Vern had the shrimp in garlic butter and garlic rice, we both had mango shakes. I picked my lobster so fresh for sure. A bit over cooked and tough and the "sauce" wasn't my style, but I used the garlic butter, and it was fine. The mango shakes were excellent. Service was average. It got busy by 6:30 with two 14 tops so we were glad we got there early.

Food was not good. Service is slow. Took about an hour before our food were served. We went around 6pm before the crowd came in. All the meat items we ordered were tough and the potatoes or carrot inside were raw. Was really surprised adobo can taste bad cos we ate at many restaurants it was a fail proof food in Philippines. Squid tastes alright. We enjoyed the eggplants. Would recommend to skip all meat items.

Seafood was fresh. We picked couple of live lobsters from their tank. It gets weighed and you’re informed of the price. We had it grilled and requested the garlic butter sauce on the side. We also ordered gambas and squid, both delicious as well. There is no AC in this restaurant so it’s open air. The neighbor was burning some stuff in their yards so the smell of burning smoke wafted it’s way to the restaurant. Don’t forget to spray on some bug spray as it it is open air. Got bug bites on my legs. If you’re looking for fresh lobster and variety of seafood offerings, this place works. Close to our hotel. I get to pick my lobster that guarantees freshness.

I had the Kalinaw and fried calamari. Both were very good. The dipping sauce for the calamari was too sweet but I just used the leftover Kalinaw juice and it was perfect. The place was packed with Philippinos, I was the only foreigner so I took this as a very good sign. The restaurant is clean and very large. The service was friendly enough. If you are craving seafood, this is the place to come in Coron.

A local recommended it. I picked out the lobster and for P3200 just for the lobster I expected an amazing meal. Very disappointed. They smothered the lobster with refrigerated crushed garlic that tasted bitter, it ruined a fresh live lobster. So disappointed. Service was Ok, though he never checked how the food was. Ambiance is definitely nothing to write home about. Not a date night go to place.

I don’t know if it was because of low supply but many sesfood items on their menu was out-of-stock. We were forced to order a lobster that’s worth 3k++ per piece because we were so hungry. Good thing the lobster was good. Pork sisig is also worth a try.
