Ornate Rock Lobster – The Symbol of Fine Cuisine
Recognized worldwide as one of the most premium and exquisite seafood delicacies, the ornate rock lobster stands apart from other varieties with its stunning shell patterns — natural works of art in shades of emerald, amber, and coral. Its meat is firm, sweet, and rich with the essence of the sea, offering a subtle yet unforgettable flavor.
In Vietnamese culinary culture, the ornate rock lobster symbolizes wealth, prosperity, and elegance. It is a dish often reserved for special occasions and celebrations, where every detail — from selection to presentation — is crafted to deliver the ultimate dining experience.

How to Select the Finest Live Ornate Rock Lobster – Secrets from Seafood Connoisseurs
At Dai Viet, our seafood experts follow the strictest standards to ensure that every lobster meets the highest level of freshness and quality.
1. Observe the Shell – Bright Color, Distinct Patterns
A fresh lobster should have a vibrant, glossy shell with clearly defined markings. Avoid dull or cracked shells. When touched, the shell should feel firm and moist, indicating vitality.
2. Check the Antennae and Legs – Active and Responsive
The lobster’s antennae and legs should move swiftly when touched — a clear sign of health and liveliness. All legs and claws should be intact, ensuring proper handling and preservation.
3. Feel the Weight and Texture – Dense, Firm, and Hefty
A good lobster feels heavy for its size, meaning it has thick, meaty flesh. Gently pressing on its shell should reveal a firm texture, and its tail should naturally curl under — signs of a strong, healthy lobster.
4. Choose Directly from Our Live Seafood Tanks
At Dai Viet, we maintain a high-tech live seafood tank system, ensuring optimal water conditions that mimic the ocean environment. Every lobster is imported from clean, pristine waters and thoroughly inspected before being introduced into the tanks. Guests are invited to handpick their own lobster and witness the preparation process for guaranteed freshness and transparency.

From the Ocean to Your Plate – The Dai Viet Commitment to Quality
We collaborate exclusively with reputable suppliers and sustainable fisheries to guarantee the highest quality seafood. Each batch of ornate rock lobsters is carefully inspected — from size and weight to health — ensuring only the best specimens reach your table.
Our advanced storage and tank systems maintain ideal water temperature and salinity, keeping the lobsters strong and flavorful until the moment of cooking. This meticulous care preserves their natural sweetness, firm texture, and authentic ocean taste — a reflection of Dai Viet’s “quality-first” philosophy.
Signature Ornate Rock Lobster Dishes at Dai Viet
Our talented chefs have crafted a menu that harmonizes traditional Vietnamese culinary techniques with international inspirations — celebrating freshness, creativity, and artistry.
Lobster Sashimi
A minimalist yet luxurious dish that highlights the pure essence of the lobster. Freshly sliced live lobster is elegantly served on crushed ice with Japanese herbs, wasabi, and premium soy sauce. The tender, translucent flesh melts on the tongue, offering a clean sweetness and delicate ocean flavor.

Baked Tropical Rock Lobster With Cheese
A refined fusion of Asian seafood and Western cuisine. The lobster is split in half, lightly seasoned, and topped with a layer of fine cheese before being baked until golden. The creamy, melted cheese perfectly complements the lobster’s natural sweetness, creating a rich and indulgent experience.

Dai Viet-Style Lobster with “Lua” Sauce
An exclusive signature of Dai Viet Restaurant. The secret “Lua” sauce blends lemongrass, chili, garlic, and other local ingredients to create a flavorful, slightly spicy coating that enhances rather than overwhelms the lobster’s natural sweetness. Each bite bursts with aroma and warmth — a celebration of Vietnamese culinary creativity.

Steamed Lobster
This simple yet elegant method preserves the lobster’s natural flavor and nutrients. Steamed with ginger, lemongrass, and a splash of rice wine, the meat remains juicy and sweet. Served with a tangy chili-lime dipping sauce, it’s a light and refreshing choice for seafood purists.

Grilled Lobster with Garlic Butter
A Mediterranean-inspired delight. The lobster is brushed with a mixture of melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and a hint of white wine, then grilled to perfection over charcoal. The aroma of garlic and butter blends with the lobster’s sweetness, resulting in a perfectly balanced and irresistible dish.

A bolder twist on the grilled version. The lobster is grilled, then topped with an extra layer of garlic butter and briefly broiled to achieve a crispy golden crust. The caramelized butter adds a subtle smokiness, complementing the sweetness of the lobster for a rich, multi-layered flavor.
Nutritional Value – A Gift for Health and Beauty
Beyond its exquisite taste, ornate rock lobster is highly nutritious. It’s rich in high-quality protein, low in fat and calories — an ideal choice for healthy, balanced diets.
It also provides essential minerals like zinc, selenium, phosphorus, and magnesium, which boost immunity, protect cells from oxidation, and strengthen bones. The abundant omega-3 fatty acids help lower bad cholesterol and promote heart health.
Moreover, lobster is packed with vitamins B12, B6, and E, enhancing nervous system function, improving energy, and rejuvenating skin. Its high astaxanthin content — a powerful antioxidant — helps combat aging and maintains a youthful complexion.
