Smack Lobster Roll (Soho)

• The concept is so simple you could 'smack' yourself
• Then filled with chunks of exquisite lobster in different flavours
• Yet the options are so tempting
• Both rolls were simply heavenly
• The concept is supposedly simple
• The japanese one is my favourite
• Problem is one roll is not enough to make you full
• The interestingly named Smack Lobster Roll is the little sister of Burger &
• The lobster tasted fresh along with the brioche roll
• The presentation was great but for that price I expected a little more
• My friend said this is very very good
• The salads are quite disappointing
• With elements that are a bit too cold
• S website however educates me that smacks are the boats which go out to catch lobster and they are very proud that their lobsters are all responsibly farmed from Nova Scotia and Maine
• Was surprisingly packed with both lobster and flavour
• The courgette fries were alright but not something I would purchase again
• I'll probably be back if I'm in the area and either not too hungry or with extra cash to spend
• The price might be more on the expensive side but they are generous with the lobster so im okay haha
• Ever wondered why Smack Lobster Roll (Soho) is called Smack Lobster Roll
• Far from the provocative notion but the name came from the boat that was used to catch lobsters
• They wanted to eradicate the idea that lobster is rare and only for the rich and famous and only eaten at fancy restaurants
• There was plenty of fresh lobster in a bed of white cabbage garnished with Japanese mayo
• The brioche is warmly toasted for the added crisp to the roll
• Created by the wonderful magicians at Burger and Lobster (you can read my review of them here) Smack is everything you want in a lobster roll without having to wait
• Was disappointed with the lobster roll
• Both of them are really tasty
• The ambience are modern and casual
• Even though the owner knew it was his success but he changed that and is now serving regular potato fries
• Lobster however is a good option if you run out of time to wait for table in the restaurant
• The sweet potato fries were just perfect
• The lobster roll clocks in at 16 quid with a choice of a California spin or a Japanese inspired roll called the Seven Samurai
• The basics of the sandwich are well covered
• While the interior of the roll is fluffy and soft
• The lobster is of good quality and not overcooked and the amount of lobster in the roll is not stingy for the price
• The california and the seven samurai are great lobster rolls
