Most Disliked
Some patrons point out that parking can occasionally be a challenge, particularly during peak times. This can deter potential customers if they're not familiar with the area. Additionally, while takeout service is popular, some visitors wish Lobster Pot offered delivery options, especially for those who may not have easy access to transportation.
The takeaway's hidden location can also make it tricky for first-time visitors to find, but once located, it quickly becomes a go-to spot. Some diners find the restaurant's limited seating to be restrictive during busy lunch and dinner hours, which can lead to a hurried experience.

I’ve been meaning to write this review for a long time and regret not doing it sooner, I have been eating here for about 10 years it is hands down my favourite Chinese takeaway not just in Maidenhead but favourite I have ever had anywhere, nothing lives up to Lobster pot for me. Anyone I’ve introduced to Lobster pot absolutely love it and always want to go back. Their salt and pepper chicken bites are SO delicious (I order mine with no chilli and extra garlic), their prawn toast is thick and so full of prawns, their mixed starter is so great to try a bit of everything, honestly everything is so delicious, fast service, the food is always piping hot which I LOVE and it’s so affordable for the portion sizes. I wish they did delivery because I’d order this every week but as I don’t drive I come here sparingly since I’ve moved (maybe that’s a good thing or I would genuinely be the size of a house with the amount I like to order) I love it so much and hope it never changes🤍

Every town has a hidden gem, and this is Maidenhead's. I found this takeaway on a friend's recommendation. Fairly hidden away in a residential part of town. The menu is massive. Service is great and amazingly fast, parking is easy, and most important of all the food is delicious. The best Chinese food and best chips in town, hands down.
