Tomdo
Description
Tomdo is the place to eat lobster in Hoi An without the guilt of the bill. The signature black pepper lobster and butter garlic shrimp are the orders to make, and the portions come prepped in a way that actually lets you eat without fighting the shell for twenty minutes.
The air conditioning is real and genuinely appreciated – this is one of the few spots where you can sit through a full seafood meal without soaking through your shirt. Wash everything down with a cold beer and you have a near-perfect evening for not much money.
The price-to-protein ratio here is the whole point. Lobster combos run around 450,000 VND each, which is the kind of deal that makes Korean visitors (and everyone else) order two.
Highlights
Insider Tip
Order the black pepper lobster and ask for extra rice - the sauce is too good to leave on the plate.

Cons
'- Reviews skew heavily Korean, so expect a crowd that knows exactly what they're ordering (not a bad thing, but worth knowing)
- Limited review language around non-seafood options, so if shellfish isn't your thing this probably isn't your spot
