50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Los Angeles

“Amazing takeout family meal which features the most flavorful and delicious Char Siu Wagyu Short Rib with fluffy bao. All side dishes are well executed and delectable. One of the best staying at home meals I’ve had! Highly recommend it!“

“The signature dish is the crab in sauce, which comes in medium and large sizes. medium is two crabs with two bowls of rice, and large is three crabs. Compared with other Korean restaurants, the sauce crab taste is mild, and it will not be salty enough to explode in the middle of the meal and cannot continue to eat. The crab is fresh, not fishy, and the meat is firm, not squishy. The crab meat is also very full, the crab legs are full, there is no empty shell crab. The sea urchin rice is a little smaller but the sea urchin is enough. regular sea urchins are not particularly sweet, but they are fresh and worth the price. The sea urchin Rice bowl combo will be served with steamed eggs, runny eggs and two prawns in sauce. Raw marinated salmon rice is amazing to me. The salmon is marinated just enough to be flavorful, but not overly salty. The portions are generous. You can eat two bites of each piece of salmon.“

“Now this restaurant… fireeeeee. The atmosphere at night is my favorite! The food was delicious I couldn’t get enough of the spicy tuna rice cakes. The aguachiles are FIREEEE it’s the right amount of spicy. The margaritas pair well with their dishes. I look forward to trying their lunch menu! I will be back.“

“Progressive Japanese food that focuses on simplicity and freshness showcasing technique. They highlight their eel and we got the whole one to share. It can be a bit intimidating for people not familiar and a bit simple but the effort to prepare takes a lot. For the price, I wish it came with a side of rice or something to complement it. I really enjoyed the Tofu and Eggplant dish also. The Eggplant was super unique and cooked in a way I haven’t tried before and was very flavorful with a dark miso crust. The Corn and Sausage was unique too and presentation was pretty cool. I really enjoyed the Strawberry Shaved Ice for dessert. Great way to end!! Overall, the food is on the lighter side so if you’re looking for hearty or indulgent food this may not be the best pick. They serve smaller plates that are good to share between two people or a small group. Service was great though and super friendly.“

“The tasting menu is full of unique seafood dishes, and the portions are generous.“

“Simply delicious, we enjoy sunday brunch!“

“Me fascinan los camarones gigantes y su langosta 😋“

“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!“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“This place has consistently fresh and delicious Aguachlle. It's amazing. I'm from the East coast and my son brought me here for lunch. He brought me here last year during my visit as well. I couldn't wait to go back this time.“

“Possibly the best and freshest Mexican style seafood in LA Think fine from a James Beard award winning chef and kitchen on the very casual setting of a food court It’s busy so get in early as the line to order grows quickly Plenty of parking with extra space at rear of the car park for the overflow This is a must try if you are in the area“

“Please please do yourself a favor and eat here! We had the ceviche Classico & lomo saltado - I’m not even joking that my boyfriend and I had to hug after the meal because it was SO delicious and enjoyable. The flavors were bright and unique. You can tell that these recipes were thoughtful created! Can’t wait to try more on the menu ❤️“

“Just had a self Omakase date and I have to say, the detail that was poured into each dish, flavor wise, was really special. Even just the sashimi pieces themselves really had great complimentary garnish flavors that weren’t even noticeable just looking at the fish.

Great service and throughly enjoyed.“

“Amazing Food. We ordered quite a few dishes and everything was delicious! The Peking Duck and green beans were my favorite!“

“This place is soooo EPIC!! So epic the cast of Parasite movie ate here after winning the #Oscars! Nackchi bokum was the best I ever ate but everything was authentic and delicious!! 🦑👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️“

“Freshest restaurant quality sashimi and sushi at a reasonable price in the U.S. Their sashimi is top notch. Highly recommend the Hamachi/yellowtail toro (so underrated), the scallops, and the squid/ika, but honestly any of the options won’t disappoint. Also a big fan of their tamago and their Takuan roll (which has fresh perilla leaves inside)!
If you’re a big sashimi/sushi enjoyer and value quality, this place is perfect!“

“This was formerly a M- star restaurant and it is no suprise why based on the food. The ambiance isn't anything to write home about and some of the seat cushions were ripped up. The server's explained the food really well and food came fast. Would definitely recommend this for a seafood lover and for someone who enjoys spicy food. I had a few dishes that I had never heard of like a drink made with condensed milk, coconut water and something else...it was good. The green sauce they serve with the chips is VERY spicy. Would definitely go again and try some different things.“

“If I could give Tuk Tuk Thai on Sawtelle in W. L.A. six stars, I would. They serve, hands down, the best Thai food I have tasted outside of Thailand. We were blown away by everything...the delicious, creative, authentic, clean food with the freshest ingredients , the cute, funky, casual and intimate space and exceptional hospitality. We ate incredible tasty, innovative and beautiful dishes such as mouthwatering fresh scallops and shrimp dumplings, duck, Wagyu beef and a killer pad Thai to name a few. The servers and kitchen were flexible to accommodate our parties' diverse dietary requirements and did so with pleasure and grace. I highly recommend you to run, not walk, to try this W.L.A gem..I cannot wait to go back!“

“Queen’s Raw Bar & Grill is a charming take on a Southern seafood and raw bar. The space is beautiful and the service friendly.

Standouts were the fresh oysters, grilled artichokes, fried code sandwich and passion fruit sundae.

Friendly dogs are welcome on the patio. It’s a perfect afternoon spot, or evening date spot.“

“Best Thai food in LA! 🔥🔥🔥“

“Went here specifically for the lobster roll. Best I've ever had. Yes it's small, lobster rolls are always small. Yes it's expensive, but I've paid more and they weren't nearly as delicious. We got the warm with butter, in my opinion, the only way to eat lobster. And it was delicious. Just splurge, so worth it. I will come back just for the lobster roll. That's all we got, so I can't comment on anything else“

“Okay, ngl, the entrance was confusing to find, but once you go in, the vibes are immaculate. The food was amazing, my wife and I shared the mixed seafood cocktail. I had the shrimp burrito. My wife had the tuna birria quesadilla. I liked the quesadilla, but who am I kidding, the burrito was by far the superior menu item. I still have dreams about that burrito. The shrimp had a light batter, and each ingredient was appropriately represented so that you don’t wind up with a mouthful of just one thing. It was perfect. I’d go back just for the burrito.“

“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.“

“The food here is so fresh and tasty! We had refreshing watermelon drinks and ceviche with chips and salsa. The atmosphere was relaxing and air conditioned. Nice, music and ambiance filled with lush green palms. Our server Genesis was very helpful, and accommodating. Will definitely be back!“

“best japanese rich fllavors unique taste simple fresh and delish“

“A WONDERFUL RESTAURANT - THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS , THE PORTION SIZE WAS LARGE AND THE WOMAN SERVER WAS VERY KIND AND PLEASANT - AN EXTRA PLUS INEXPENSIVE PARKING WAS ADJACENT TO THE GOLDEN TREE . LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING BACK AGAIN .“

“Manager Josh is amazing. I had a bad experience dining at Ospi already in terms of service, so after there were missing items in my order I was about ready to give up. I called in and when he took the phone he didn't hesitate, asked me for my address and drove over the food himself. He also threw in a kale salad for me as well. I will be coming back. Ospi team, you have a good one in Josh!“

“The soft shell crab taco was stupendous. One of the best things I've eaten this month. Unique, flavorful, absolute must have.

The Baja style fish taco was fine, but not nearly on the same level.

One taco was around $7, which is more of a gourmet price. But I would happily pay that for the soft shell crab taco.

Service was very impersonal. Nobody greeted me. Not a single word of hi/hola, thank you, goodbye. Nothing. You just enter your name and order on a tablet. A few moments later somebody looks and gestures at you to take your food. Sitting situation is not great. But it's a fast casual bite, so you're not there for a long time. FYI - this is a food truck and not a brick and mortar space.

I would go out of my way to eat the soft shell crab taco again. Wow, I'm still thinking about it.“

“Liked the Shandy and tuna melt with fries“

“Great food and drinks! We will be back.“

“Fantastic service, stellar wine program, and a tuna crisp I’ll think about forever!“

“An intimate experience where Chef Brian showcases his culinary artistry using the finest ingredients. The warm and approachable chef thoughtfully crafts each dish. Standout courses included the exquisite Uni Tartlet, the delightfully inventive Sardine-topped Milk Bread Toast, the savory Pesto, and the incredibly tender Abalone Risotto.“

“When I think of seafood in eastside Los Angeles, I think of Ceviche Project. This is my go to for ceviche, aguachile, tostadas, and oysters. Octavio is an incredibly passionate and kind human being, and his food speaks for itself. He provides a completely engrossing and sensational culinary and human experience. The quality of the seafood is unmatched, the atmosphere is so relaxed, and the hospitality of Octavio goes beyond that of pretty much any other restaurant in LA. . It's just such a pleasure being able to eat at this local gem of a restaurant. The Silver Lake/Atwater Village/Glendale/Los Feliz community is lucky to have a restaurant like this. Thank you Octavio for your hard work!“

“Was a bit taken aback that the place was a food truck and not an actual restaurant, but overall, I had a great time eating those tasty ceviches, keep in my the food portions are a bit on the smaller size, especially the auguachiles and ceviches“

“One of my favorite places to eat!“

“my go to Thai place in LA“

“A very stylish bar tucked away in downtown LA near Grand Central Market feels like an NYC bar. I had a great chat with the owners—they hand-select everything they serve, from small-batch wines to charcuterie sourced from both local and international makers. It’s a perfect spot for a date or catching up with an old friend. Everyone was super friendly, and the doorman adds a nice touch of safety and comfort.“

“店內服務一流，令我心情愉快。“

“Phenomenal. Our server, Candelaria, and Chef Anthony were both so attentive to my nut allergy. Walter was so kind! Thank you for the most amazing dinner experience we’ve had in LA. Fantastic food, incredible atmosphere, attentive and kind staff. 11/10. Thank you ♥️🙏🏼“

“exelente servicio la comida muy sabrosa😋 aquí encuentra amabilidad y cortecia 😍 🤩“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“NIKU X delivers an impressive seafood & A5 wagyu steak buffet. The quality of the meats and seafood is top notch. The wagyu is tender and rich, and the seafood bar has good variety. The decor is stylish and the service attentive.

A few drawbacks: some items are a bit slow to be replenished, and the price is steep but for a special occasion it’s worth it.“

“the variety of veggies and seafood made an amazing broth, then the addition of lamb, pork and beef made this meal even better.. soo good“

“Good fish taco truck. They also have other seafood options like ceviche and tostadas. Can definitely recommend the fish tacos and shrimp empanadas.

Service was good. Orders can take a while so be patient. There's street parking up and down the block.“

“Tasty food reasonable price!!“

“The food and staff were amazing. The oxtails and greens were fire!!! Best I’ve had in a long time. And treat yourself to an empanada and lemonade. Deliciouso!!“

“Great and delicious food 👍“

“Even though they have fish I love the chicken wings!“

“Great fish tacos. Note that these soft taco shells are the larger kind where they're put on the grill for a minute to get slightly crispy and crunchy, not the tiny cold ones out of a bag that everyone else uses for their fish tacos and has to double because they fall apart the instant the salsa touches them. The tacos have generous portions of fish and you can get extra salsa at no charge (again, unlike a lot of other stingy places).

The whole fried tilapia was good too.“

“great food. Good service. decent prices“
