50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Altadena

“Fresh & delicious seafood on the street, food truck.

Parking: Street parking either in front or back of food truck so best to be nearby for pick-up & eat home.

Wheelchair accessibility: If you do not mind street parking either in front or behind the food truck & can tolerate eating messy food outside instead of the comfort of your home.“

“This is as local and authentic as you can get for Mexican food! It's a cute little shop that makes fantastic tasting dishes, better than many fancy restaurants I've visited. Their Carne Asada nachos is bursting with flavor and reasonably priced, consider me a regular, cheers!“

“muy delisiosa comida lo atienden Co un gran serbisio recomendado“

“I had the chicken and steak with fried rice! Absolutely delicious! 😋 My son had steak, shrimp, chicken with fried rice and veggies, his gf had the shrimp and chicken with fried rice. The yum yum sauce and garlic butter are the best I’ve ever tasted! All of it was AWESOME! You need to try! ❤️ The owners are super dedicated, kind, and friendly!“

“If you’re in East LA and craving solid mariscos, Playita Mariscos is hands-down a go-to spot. I’ve been coming here for years, and it never disappoints.

Their shrimp tacos are a must. You can get them hard or soft, and either way they’re packed with flavor. I love that every taco plate comes with rice and beans and chips — it makes it a full, satisfying meal. And let’s talk about the ceviche: it’s always fresh and super good. They offer different types, so there’s something for everyone, and you can really taste the quality in every bite.

The people who work here are friendly and generous with the salsa and extras, which always makes the experience even better. The restaurant itself is super clean, and even though it’s usually packed on the weekends, the vibe is welcoming and worth the wait.

Playita Mariscos has been a staple for me for years, and it’s still one of my favorite stops for shrimp tacos and fresh ceviche in East LA.“

“Great food and awesome service. Definitely a must dine!“

“Ate dine in at this little hole-in-the-wall joint on a recent visit to LA. Close (street) parking was a miracle, but theres also parking (and bathrooms) across the street at the El Super. Portions for a Boil Bag were generous, one corn, potato, rice and a few broccoli were included. All amenities were provided: table paper, bibs, sanitizer, bucket, gloves, scissors for crab legs. Cajun garlic butter seasoning was delicious, not too spicy for the kids. Speaking of kids, seafood boil keep kids remarkably entertained! This place deserves all the good reviews. Our only (small) complaint is the distance to a bathroom, but it's a small price to pay for a delicious meal.“

“Great food and new location!“

“Very authentic and delicious Sichuan restaurant. The sauerkraut fish is their specialty and definitely worth trying. The portions are quite big, we were able to share the single sauerkraut fish dish between two people. You order on your phone and they bring out the food, and all of the utensils and napkins are in a little drawer at your table. Very clean interior and the staff are always ready to assist when needed. They also have fortune sticks which are fun.“

“L&E is my go-to neighborhood spot. So lucky that I am steps (well, two flights of Silver Lake steps) away. I just threw my birthday there with my closest girlfriends and their staff made the night so special. The food was incredible, the vibes were immaculate - always have an amazing time at L&E.“

“All the food was outstanding. The raw fish and seafood was unbelievably fresh and aptly paired with elevated fresh flavors. The tostadas reminded me of Contramar in Cdmx, but even better (dare i say).

The atmosphere is beautiful, has a massive garden space, scattered lighting, copious succulents. It feels like an escape right in LA. The service is warm, personable, efficient.

Definitely worth the trip and such a great find.“

“The inside decor and set up of this place is nice and comfortable. I took my dad here for his 90th bday because he loves oysters. I researched ADA access in advance and it seemed to accommodate but onsite it's very tight navigation. Tables and seats on the patio partially blocked the wheelchair access route. Some diners weren't pleasant or accommodating about moving. Also parking is difficult if busy. Very small shared lot and tight and limited street parking. We were fortunate because we had an early reservation but when we left cars were stacked on the adjacent street waiting for space. Physical mobility and parking loses this place a star. The food and service were otherwise good. Met our expectations. The prices are pricey but we knew that and didn't mind since it was for my dad's experience. It would be tough to make this a regular dining experience due to cost. Otherwise the shellfish was fresh, but their Cesar salad was a bit overdressed, the presentation was very good and 3 of us left feeling satisfied. Only bummer was my dad was not offered a bday treat, they don't really do that I guess.“

“Located in a vibrant neighborhood, Oyster Dive Bar offers a delightful dining experience with a unique twist on seafood classics. The crispy Cajun fries with cheese are a standout appetizer, perfectly seasoned and crunchy, making them an irresistible starter. The lobster pasta features fresh lobster, expertly prepared and bursting with flavor, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, ideal for both casual outings and intimate dinners. The service is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyable atmosphere. Prices are reasonable given the quality and portion sizes. However, it's worth noting that the restroom could use more attention; cleanliness was a bit lacking during my visit. Despite this minor drawback, the delicious food and pleasant surroundings make Oyster Dive Bar a recommended choice for seafood enthusiasts looking to enjoy a satisfying meal in a relaxed setting. Overall, Oyster Dive Bar earns four stars for its tasty dishes, friendly service, and comfortable ambiance. With a few improvements in cleanliness, it could easily become a five-star dining destination.“

“Great ambiance. Excellent choices. Definitely returning 👍😁“

“😁Since I was a little girl we have been patroning The Shrimp House when it was in El Monte and now here and the Jumbo Shrimp have always been our favorite. It was my mom's favorite food so now it is a great reminder of our wonderful family times and the food and all the sides continue to be delicious!! Thank you!“

“hard shell tacos bomb shrimp ceviche bomb everything looks delish“

“My free shrimp skewer was honored because I put the app on but my senior discount and or promo (gameday2025) 30% off total bill wasn't honored. The food was delicious. Chris was helpful with our order on the kiosk. My family visited from Conneticut and I was hoping the promo was honored.“

“Very cute spot, that I would return to if I had a random weekday off. When we went there were hardly any other parties so we had no issues finding a seat.

The menu has something for everyone. It didn't take long for our order to come out. Portions were bigger than what I was expecting (I was worried they were going to be tapas sized portion, but the yellowtail tostada was quite filling), so I would say that dishes are reasonably priced. My friend and I felt the flavors hit the mark with each dish.

In retrospect, I could have ordered just the tostada with my americano and be satisfied. But I am glad to have tried more things on the menu. I would say that the dishes, while savory, leaned more light which I think is perfect for brunch.

During our visit, I got the yellowtail tostada, fish taco, and flautas. All were delicious. They also have a milk punch/clarified cocktail that my friend ordered (which are hard to find in LA) and it was also a well balanced drink.“

“Great lobster roll and even though the margarita is agave wine rather than tequila, very tasty! Highly recommend“

“This is my second time at Pez Coastal Kitchen and it was absolutely delicious! The quality of ingredients is incredibly fresh and each dish I've ordered has left me pleasantly surprised by the unique combination of flavors. All of the staff is very knowledgeable about the menu and drinks and gave great recommendations. Brett is a phenomenal chef and owner! Will be returning, I'm happy I live so close to this place!“

“This was hands down, the best surf and turf I have had in a very long time. The atmosphere is fantastic and the staff was amazing. Try them out!“

“Under new ownership and already such a difference. I stopped by last night and had a FANTASTIC meal. I ordered the snapper and catfish meal with two sides. The fish was tender and perfectly seasoned and the colored greens and string beans were amazing. Perfectly seasoned and nice and hot. They give you two sauces and two slices of bread as well if you want to make a sandwich. It’s inexpensive and the customer service was excellent. I can tell lots of love has already gone into this place and will as the new owners settle in. Looking forward to stopping here regularly!“

“Food and prices always great. Have tried many dishes including: birria de res, burritos, breakfasts, chilaquiles, sopes, tacos dorados, bean and cheese burrito, their French fries are a fam fave! The ladies there are always great and the coffee is delicious!“

“I have been coming to ABC Seafood Restaurant whenever I’m in town for years, and it’s one of my absolute must-stop spots every single visit. Everything here is exceptionally amazing — from the freshest seafood to perfectly cooked dishes. The Peking duck is my all-time favorite, and the crab and lobster are unbeatable. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. 1000/10 recommend!“

“a succulent chinese meal!
the lunch special prices are excellent (especially for downtown LA!), the portions are huge, and every meal comes with a big glass of green tea and a sweet tapioca pudding for dessert. great atmosphere/decor, great service, great food. highly recommend to anyone looking to get a meal near Union Station or anyone looking to get a meal in general :)“

“$3 fish tacos on wednesdays are pretty good. From the overall size not some mini version taco and the tortilla the fish tacos are served on they dont get soggy by the time you get home. Also they serve it with a sour cream/crema not mayonnaise like some places do. The fish itself battered with a light tasty crispiness overall a valued deal.“

“La vdd todo RIQUISIMOOO el sarandeado las empanadas de camarón �� ��� delicioso y el agua de cirula OMG ricaaaa !!�� .... me quite el antojo de empanadas que traía ���. Muchas gracias por su atención ��“

“Sometimes the combination of Restaurant you have been wanting to try + high cost per diner can be unsatisfying; fortunately with Corridor 109, both the wait and the cost were more than justified and magnificently exceeded expectations.
After securing a reservation via Resy text two days before, my wife and I got to try the tasting menu. The ingredients should be familiar to any high end omakase patron: sea urchin, salmon roe, different types of mackerel, different types of shellfish and so on. What Chef Brian and his team does with these ingredients (all of the highest quality sourced from Japan, mostly from Hokkaido) is… transformational.

I won’t go into each dish here, but there are things on the menu where in hindsight, you can easily think the ingredient combination is so obvious; the planning to come up with those combinations, then the execution to make those flavors come together is truly magnificent.

About the cost: ~$300 per person plus alcohol easily carries the total bill for two close to and over $1,000. My wife and I thought it was worth it because of the execution, the ingredients, the ambiance of the bar seating around an open kitchen, and the phenomenal service from the bar through dining. It is, surely, possible for my wife and I to secure some similar grade ingredients and try to mimic some (definitely not all) of the dishes to save money, but that would be a great disservice to the total experience of dining at Corridor 109.

I congratulate the Chef and his team on an amazing start to what is hopefully a not short term venture; my wife and I look forward to coming back at a different point in the calendar year to see what different and in season ingredients make it on to the menu!“

“Me encantan los camarones y su buena atención“

“excellet food te los recomiendo muy buen servicio“

“We had a great Mommy outing. The glass partitions made us feel safe.“

“My husband and I googled a boiling crab originally and this place popped up. We were hesitant but the food looked good and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! We called to see if there was any wait time. Since there wasn’t we went. From the moment we stepped in the service was AMAZING and food was DELICIOUS! The gumbo, clam, shrimp, crab, and corn! Absolutely everything was great! So much better than boiling crab! This place is a hidden gem. My husband and I will definitely be coming back.“

“It's great. The food is good. But you have to wait outside until your number is called and outside the place is littered with cigarettes in the waiting area. Please clean it up and put a no smoking sign. No one wants second hand smoke.“

“love it 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈“

“Very good food . Clean establishment. Great customer service and reasonable prices.“

“It's a cute family restaurant. Great tentative service. I recommend for 2 people or plus since the dishes tends to be a bit bigger for family to share .

Also, they do have a private room to have a good time with the family or friends privately“

“Delicious And Great portions. Most of All lots of healthy Choices. I'm trying to Eat healthy. Definitely will be cool back.“

“Best Dim Sum!!!! My children and I have been coming here for years, and we absolutely love this restaurant. The staff is so attentive and kind and the food is absolutely delicious 😋 We've love trying new places, but when it comes to Dim Sum, no one beats Capital Seafood. Thank you, Mia, and the entire wonderful staff, you all make every visit a treat & we always leaving absolutely full and lazy, lol. Thank you! 💝“

“Fish and chips are awesome. Shrimp skewer is delicious. Good value for the price.“

“This area of highland Park which is to say the stretch of North Figueroa Street from avenue 26 all the way to eagle Rock Boulevard is a little bit of a mariscos desert, other than the shrimp tacos at La Estrella. (El pescador is overrated) So it was very exciting to find out about this truck. Excellent service -- outstanding campechana, savory in a peppery way that was welcome. Shrimp tacos were outstanding . Very convenient and even at lunch time there wasn't a long wait“

“Great Dim Sum spot for classic dim sum food and not too long on wait for a table.“

“My wife’s family and I come here at least 1-2 a month. I love coming here. Typically I’ll order their salt and pepper pork, but I’ve yet to order something I didn’t like on their menu.

Service is always extremely friendly and the food usually comes out promptly.“
