Sea Story Seafood & Bar

If I could give them zero stars, I would. I’ve been here before and the seafood is simply not fresh - especially at this price point. Go to any proper omakase in little tokyo/san Gabriel valley for better sashimi. IKI nori and iki ramen also do it way better. The sashimi here had an extremely fishy aroma to it and tasted rotten. They also require you to show ID at night to dine in even if you do not wish to order alcohol. The male host/server at night is extremely rude and yells at the customers. Management should consider closing the restaurant or rehiring/retraining. Food safety inspectors need to check on the freshness of the produce. It is unacceptable.

Terrible food!
It was late and this was the only place open, so I went there once and was very disappointed...
In particular, the sea cucumbers and sea squirts had a very salty taste... The quantity was too small for the price... I wonder if the owner is managing them properly...

Very nice place to eat. Fresh, healthy and tasty. Their staff is very friendly and attentive to customers’ needs.

I ate two Dungeness scraps about a month ago.I remember the price was over $80 a piece.I drank a bottle of beer during the 40 minutes of steaming the crab, and there was no ski dashi, so when the crab came out, I thought I would give it up, but then I met a crab, and there was a ski dashi before, but why was there no ski dashi?I think so. I ate raw fish.Ah- it's a waste of money ㅠㅠNo, I ate 200 dollars - I can't be bitten because I don't have skis againThey gave me two scrambled eggs for service.I felt so young..Still, it was late and the owner was kind, so it was an expensive place to go...Ah... I don't think I'll be back ㅠㅠ

Generous amount! friendly service! Unsweetened and fresh food :)

A complete rip-off

Freshest steam lobster I’ve tried in LA. Growing up from a place with fresh steam seafood culture, this is so far the only place meet my standard.

False advertisement. They have a poster for $99 combo on their window. What we got was missing few of the items like raw crab and pancake!Bad taste - bitter fish and sea cucumberBad service - lady was annoyed when we were always nice and appreciative. They were not even busy, there were little customers.Expensive - but what for? Not worth itLiterally regret coming here, all the other restaurants in the same plaza has great food but this was a big miss.Will not come back and not recommendThe google review seemed good but I think they’re fakeSave yourself money and time and go to LA Sashimi instead for live seafood, also in Korea town! Tastes much better and even though they also do not speak English they actually make effort to communicate and is very friendly

I ordered the sashimi large plate for 4 people. I loved various side dishes and they were yummy! Sashimi was fresh, texture was good. But the amount was not enough for 4 ppl. (Probably because we are sashimi lovers!) Maewoontang (spicy fish soup) was not traditional Korean flavor but it was good. They also have Korean soju and beers ?. The server was very friendly and nice. The only downside is the price -it’s a little bit pricey ?

They are not telling truth on review. Their family must be writing the review. Owner has no interest to running the business. Food service was bad as it can be but the price was rip-off. They should close down business.

I wanted to try something different than korean BBQ. I found a place on yelp where they have korean halibut sashimi. When I walked in, service wasn't so great. Took a while to get water and menu. We ordered live fish assorted large. We also wanted Raw crabs and live octopus but they didn't have any. I was worried if we will have enough food. Waiter said don't worry and we will be full. And I'm glad I listened to the waiter. Few minutes later, server started to bring food. porridge, korean seaweed salad, abalone sashimi, squirt fish, corn cheese, steam egg, oysters, octopus (not alive ones), rice soup, fish soup and main sashimi. We had 6 people table for 4 and our table was so full that we didn't have anymore space. All dishes were so delicious! It's just like what I had in korea. I would definitely come back for more! It has been a great experience!

There was a lot of disappointment
When I entered the restaurant, it was a Sunday evening and there were very few customers, so I thought I would just leave, but since the review was 4.3 points, I decided to just eat there, but I was very wrong.
First of all, it is difficult to see people working. They don't even give me water, just give me the food I ordered, and then disappear. The rice is about two days old, and they also give very little sea urchin, sea cucumber, etc.
The only side dishes are smelly kimchi and spinach.
I wanted to eat crab, but there wasn't even that, and there was a lot in the restaurant.
I did an advertisement.

실망이 많았다일단 식당에 들어가니 일요일 저녁인데 손님이 거의 없어 그냥 나갈까 하다 리뷰가 4.3 점이라, 그냥 먹기로 했는데, 내가 무척 잘못 판단했다.일단 일하는 사람 보기 힘들다. 물도 주지도 않고 음식 주문한것 만 주고, 사라져 버린다. 밥도 약 이틀지난 밥이고, 성게, 해삼, 등도 무척 적게 준다.밑반찬이 냄새나는 김치와 시금치가 전부다..게장먹고 싶었는데 그것도 없으면서 식당안에도 크게광고를 했다.

I love coming here. Excellent Korean style sashimi. Order it by the size, small medium or large. The medium is really big and the large is huge. They have all kinds of Korean appetizers and food. I wish they would serve hite beer though because I'm not a fan of cass beer. However every time I come here the staff is super friendly and make you feel like you're a part of the family.
