About Johnny's Shrimp Boat

Johnny's Shrimp Boat is a beloved restaurant in Los Angeles, known for its delicious deep-fried shrimp and comforting dishes like short ribs with rice and gravy. Located on Whittier Blvd in Boyle Heights, this gem is a favorite among locals and visitors alike. The batter on the shrimp is cooked to perfection, although some have noted that there can be a lot of batter compared to the shrimp itself. The rice and gravy are must-tries, and the chili served over a generous bed of rice has received high praise for its unique flavor and thickness. The restaurant is clean, and the staff, including Vic, is always friendly, adding to the overall pleasant dining experience. Families have been visiting Johnny's for generations, making it a staple for those in the know. Even those from outside LA make a point to stop by when in the area, as the flavors of the food are described as heavenly and immensely satisfying. Whether it's the shrimp with lemon and hot sauce or a burger, Johnny's Shrimp Boat offers a taste of comfort food that is truly worth experiencing.

We were in the mood for some shrimp and fish tacos and came across this spot in Boyle Heights. It was a cool drive going there. The atmosphere was cool and the guys who work there were super chill. We got the Fish and Shrimp plate and some Shrimp tacos and it was super delicious. The batter on the fish and shrimp was super crunchy and full of flavor. I highly recommend who ever lives locally or passing by to stop and taste their food. Won't be disappointed.
