50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Monrovia

“The shrimp and crawfish is very good.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Super delicious amazing food and service is great“

“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 food and new location!“

“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!“

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

“First time there… my son and his friend took me. Really good food!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Buena comida buen servicio“

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

“Super delicious amazing food and service is great“

“I am not a big fan of mariscos. This is one of the best mariscos spots I actually enjoy. I highly recommend the shrimp and fish tacos, the camarones dinamitas, camarones de cucarachas, Coctel de Camaron, the aguachiles is actually one of the best sauces I've actually tasted, not to mention there other Mexican dishes they have on the menu. I also rented the hall for events and the menu for their catering services are good as well and the hostility from dining in and renting the hall has been phenomenal. Anyone wanting to eat good mariscos I highly recommend this place“

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

“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“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“There is a public parking in the back of this restaurant. We came here for lunch on Sunday. I heard that they are known for their seafood. This place has lunch special, which was a good deal. This restaurant is very clean, especially their bathroom. We ordered chicken, tofu in clay pot, satay beef with vegetable, shrimp, and soup. Food was very authentic. My favorite is the satay beef with vegetable. The meat was tender and flavorful. Our server was very attentive and service was fast. Will come back for more Chinese food!“

“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!“

“😁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!“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“Super delicious amazing food and service is great“

“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.“

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

“The asparagus fries. Crispy & not greasy. You can appreciate the asparagus flavor. We split the Thai spicy salad. It was spicy, but the Thai basil & the peanut dressing were the stars. It didn't need the chicken. The best was the ribeye melt. The meat was cooked perfectly.The sourdough was crusted with parmesan. With a side of horseradish that was perfectly paired for this sandwich.“

“Great food. There isn’t anything I haven’t ate that I regret. It’s great food. 😋😋😋 from the Ceviche, to the camarones al mojo de año, costa azul, rancheros. And the famoso zarandeado😋 👍🏻 Bomb, bomb...or yummy, yummy whatever choice of words you prefer!!!“

“The food was delicious, the service excellent, the establishment was clean, portions generous, and cost affordable. We ordered chow mein, fish with black bean sauce, and Mongolian beef. It's not Chinese fast food, it's a sit down restaurant. Surprised it wasn't crowded as the food is delicious. The location is a little non-descript but street parking was easy. I live in Gardena and although there are several Chinese restaurants, none are good. This was a lucky find as restaurant reviews in general tend to result in a bad choice.“

“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.“

“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!“
