50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Monrovia

“A gem in the city of Monrovia. It’s in a small plaza next to a laundromat, near a liquor store and across from another taco stand—this taco stand across the way doesn’t serve fish tacos. This place has a good variety on their menu, but the prized item is their fish tacos. Quite tasty and delicious with green or red (for the more spicy palettes) salsa. A good place to stop off for a snack or meal. Great and friendly service, especially from Mario.“

“The shrimp and crawfish is very good.“

“One of the best Poke spots in the San Gabriel Valley (in my opinion).

Come a good day with the right servers and you’ll get your moneys worth. The portions are great, perfect ratio of protein to rice & sides.

Plenty of protein options and sauce options.“

“This place was had the best Micheladas I ever tasted. My Mixed Ceviche was top tier I asked for no shrimp so they added extra fish … it was a fish and Octopus ceviche. The waitress kept checking on us. I recommend this place if ur in the SGV it’s close to the freeway (210) a hole in the wall that gives high maintenance and caliber restaurants a run for their money. Top 10 hands down!!!“

“Super delicious amazing food and service is great“

“God! It's a touching taste
We came to play from AZ and were recommended by relatives and friends to try it out.
Shacha water spinach and mutton is simply the taste that I miss in my memory
The scallion chicken is super tender, the oyster cakes are also delicious, and the kids love the sausages.
But the shredded ginger intestine is not sour enough, and the intestine is a bit too soft after cooking.
What’s even more touching is that if you spend $30 or more, you’ll get a free Taiwanese beer!
It’s just a quick-service restaurant!
Fast food and great service!“

“Excellent service. Great food. Highly recommend 🤌🏻“

“My family and I visited the other day and we will definitely be returning. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was enjoyable the perfect place for a family. The owner and his son were the kindest people and you can tell they take pride in what they are serving. We will definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“La comida está riquísima mis respetos para todos Siempre que vamos nos ha tiende “Jorge “ bien atento con lo que necesitas Los tacos de pulpo 🐙 los mejores #1“

“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.“

“😁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!“

“Great food and new location!“

“The food was excellent. The food far surpasses the service. Let's begin with the Buffalo shrimp, which were perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. An excellent take on wings seafood style. The seafood caldon especal was full of flavor, perfectly spices even though it has jalapeño in it bring back a sense of being on the beach. The Capechana was high quality and the delicious. The chef not only an excellent cook but took part of the service. The Michelada base alone is memorable and wanted to buy a gallon of it. The waitress was professional but needs to elevate her service skills, one attention to the client was very slow, there was no effort to explain the menu, little initiative to attend out table.“

“The breaded Shrimp with rice, beans and the brown sauce! Just like the good ole’ days!“

“Buena comida buen servicio“

“Great food! I've been here twice and have tried the fresh shrimp and tofu spring rolls with terrific accompanying sauce, flavorful chicken fried rice, shrimp pho with delicious broth, and the lovely Lychee fruit tea! Yum! Totally coming here again... and bringing more friends. Mangosteen has a clean, modern atmosphere, primarily indoors with a couple of outdoor tables. Friendly and helpful customer service.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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 ��“

“Delicious & authentic Cantonese and Vietnamese cuisine! Everything was so fresh and well prepared. Service was spectacular!“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“Really great snapper fish sandwich for an amazing price! Was very crunchy and the tartar sauce was nice and not overly sweet like other places. Need I say more? I wish other fisheries took note. We don't want to spend $30 on a huge plate. Something simple and cheap suffices.“

“Food was absolutely delicious! Jonathan was an exceptional - guided us through the menu.“

“Townsent is a hit or a miss. I guess it depends who is manning the kitchen and who is taking your order. Today for lunch the food sucked. I ordered for 2 people, 1000 year pork, crispy fried shrimp, stir fried clams with ginger sauce and Kung Pao scallops. The 1000 year pork was a little chewy, normally it should melt in your mouth. The ginger clams and scallops had no flavor at all, we had to spice it up ourselves. It tasted like it was just boiled in water. The steam rice was soggy and looks like it’s been steamed way too long. The only thing I enjoyed was my hot tea. The waiter never checked on us at his own. We had to whistle him down. Maybe their food and services at night is a better hit. All I know is that I had good dining experience with them in the past. But today. It really sucked!“

“The food here is amazing. Best salsa in town and the ceviche is fresh.“

“One of the best garlic fish in LA County, Orange, Riverside, etc…. Delicious flavor and great size. Accompanied by salad and French fries; There is an option of beans and rice too. The place is very clean and tidy. The menu options are spectacular and I will surely return to try more. The service is very good too. The music was very loud and I asked if they could lower the volume and they very kindly did so. I was able to eat in peace. Thank you.“

“My Family and I LOVEE coming here when we are craving aguachiles, tacos al pastor, and coctel mixto! Everything we’ve tried is soo delicious! We leave satisfied with their food and service every time! If you are around the area, you should definitely give this place a try. ツ“

“The food and services are excellent. We eat here every time we visit!“

“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 sea food and micheladas at a great price!“

“I had an excellent experience at Via-Mar Restaurant this past Wednesday! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared.

A special thank you to our waitress Vanesa, who went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. Her attentiveness, kindness, and professionalism truly elevated the entire dining experience.

Highly recommend this place—I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Excelente servicio 👌🏼 muy recomendable“

“good food live music friendly waitress good beer and 🍷“

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

“Sea Harbour Seafood Restaurant is truly one of the best dim sum experiences in Los Angeles. The food is outstanding—everything is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, from the dumplings to the seafood dishes. You can really taste the quality in every bite.

The service is excellent, with staff who are attentive and efficient, even when the restaurant is busy. The dining area is clean, spacious, and comfortable, making it a great spot for both family gatherings and special occasions.

If you’re looking for authentic, top-quality dim sum and seafood, Sea Harbour is a must-visit. I can’t wait to come back and try even more dishes!“

“We rarely dine in, it is usually a take out. Saturday's or Sunday's, we highly recommend their Menudo or Weekday's their 7 Mares , it is delicious and pricing is not bad at all. However, be aware that if you take out then no tortillas will be included.“

“Used love this place and would come here often. Their fish 🐟 tacos 🌮 are delicious 😋 but it seems they have changed a bit.
The quality was definitely better before, maybe a different cook? Not sure. They're still good but not as they used to be. Service is always good, the staff are friendly and attentive. I've had their campechana and it's so good! Definitely recommended as well as their tostadas de camarón and pescado“

“The food,drinks, and service was great.“

“A traditional Chinese dim sum and Chinese restaurant. Food was delicious and came to the table quickly. Congee was perfect along with the Chinese broccoli, turnip cakes, bok choy and buns. We will be back. We'll worth the drive to Arcadia!!“

“Sabado y Domingo Rico menudo y diario Ricas parrilladas. lo mejor de la puente california mmmmthe best sea food“

“Me encantan los camarones y su buena atención“

“Haven’t been here in a long while and kinda forgot about it. But my parents wanted to go specifically for some garlic crab. And it did not disappoint! One of the better Cantonese style Chinese restaurants in the SGV! I would absolutely come more often now. Whoever cooked on 8/15 dinner time, chefs kiss.

Garlic crab was delicious. Although crab is so tedious to eat like this, it was really good. Beef filet cubes were super flavorful and so tender. Not chewy at all like other Chinese restaurants make it. The lobster was my favorite. Black pepper seasoning was not too overpowering and the basil added such a nice aroma. Green beans were amazing. Perfect amount of wok char flavor and spice. Salt and pepper squid was fried perfectly, not chewy or tough at all. Clams were tasty but for this one you gotta enjoy bittermelon. If you don’t, stick with the clams and black bean sauce. Fried tofu was good, soy sauce with it just needed some chili. Beef chow fun was delicious, you can taste the wok char, noodles were perfect texture, we said no bean sprouts so they kindly added Chinese broccoli for us. The fried rice was good but lacking on something. I would definitely try a different fried rice next time.

Service - keeping in mind it’s a Chinese restaurant, they were still sooooo nice! Attentive with tea and switching plates. Food came out quick. They brought napkins and checked on us. We enjoyed our dining experience.

Parking - free small lot in this little plaza. Didn’t have an issue with parking at all. I’m sure if they got busy, parking might be a smidge difficult. But we had no issues with 3 cars.“

“Best food in town and dj 👍“

“Esta muy sabrosa comida me encanto se las recomiendo k ballan y prueven esta deliciosa comida“

“This place is amazing. I go often and everything on their menu is delicious. Their service is always on point, it's like joining family.“

“The restaurant offered a variety of fresh seafood dishes that were bursting with flavor. The quality of the ingredients was evident, and each bite was a delight. The attentive service added to the overall enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to Marisco lovers. Will be coming back“
