50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Monrovia

“Great tacos of all kind & affordable. Fish tacos, potatoe tacos, carne asada tacos, & more Mexican dishes. It's a small place with only a few tables. But it's mainly a take home food place. They have special either Wednesdays or Thursday & it's 2 for one. They select which tacos will be on special. Customer service has always been kind friendly people.“

“We randomly stumbled upon this poke restaurant and it quickly became one of our favorites! The fish was incredibly fresh. The ahi and salmon was very high quality. I enjoyed how customizable the bowls were and how the sauces had the perfect amount of flavor and spices!

Portions were generous and the toppings were fantastic!

Staff was friendly! They provided helpful recommendations.

I will definitely be back at this hidden gem.

Highly recommended!“

“The shrimp and crawfish is very good.“

“Okay, this is a new spot for my friends and I. Great place for a beer and some good food. I had the shrimp cocktail. The flavor is great! And had their Michelada! Delicious. Definitely going back! Great customer service 👏🏾“

“Very kind and friendly for takeout. Didn't know that I used to be a customer of the previous restaurant at their exact location. Found their deal online Google maps because another person posted it. I forgot to get their menu photo shots and specials currently, sorry guys. So hungry and running home. It was a good deal for us overall. If I get a chance I will post again with menu and specials for the sto.“

“Most of so called Taiwanese restaurants are for snack food or street food. It’s so hard to find Taiwanese banquet cuisine, so every time we are in LA, we stop by here. This spot is the closest to the authentic Taiwanese food we can find within in California and Nevada.
Comparing to Cantonese food or Sichuan food, Taiwanese cuisine is on the light and healthy side, not oily or salty.

Below are some must orders:

Kidney and chicken testicle in sesame oil broth. They make the freshest kidney and not overcooked!

Chicken roll. They homemade it on site, super juicy and delicious.

COD with chili paste. Very flavor and really juicy fish.

Eel sticky rice. We added salted duck yolk which enhanced the flavor and presentation.

Intestines. They do not have the authentic vinaigrette flavor but still good.

I have been craving for the slow braised trotter with bamboo (bamboo is actually the highlight of this dish), so I pre-ordered it. It’s a big portion for 10 people.

Taro dessert. Not too sweet and not greasy but just a perfect combo for the dessert.

It’s very spacious inside, nice and clean. Easy and pretty of parking in the lot as well.“

“Super delicious amazing food and service is great“

“We had a wonderful family birthday dinner at Duck House! The 3-course Beijing duck was absolutely fantastic, and the combination fried rice and crab soup were delicious too.

Thanks to Catherine and the friendly, attentive staff. The inside dining area had such a warm and cozy atmosphere, which made our celebration even more special.

Highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time for ordering Beijing Duck. We’ll definitely be back!“

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

“We waited around 30 minutes for a table on a Sunday around 7pm. I would say overall that this food tasted very authentic and reminded me of what I had in China. However, it didn't suit my Americanized taste buds.

The pickled fish fillet dish had a strong white pepper flavor and the fish had skin on it. I prefer boneless skinless fillets, and while this fish was pretty tender, it wasn't amongst the varieties of fish fillet that I prefer. My husband really really loved the soup in this dish. I liked that you could choose two add-ons -- we got the bean curd which really absorbed the soup well, and the vermicelli noodles, which I prefer a bit thicker in this type of soup.

We also got the sizzling shrimp with vermicelli. I liked the garlic flavor and the shrimp was mostly tender. The noodles were a bit soft and oily, but otherwise this was my favorite dish.

The truffle fried rice was pretty good but oily. I liked the stir fried greens with garlic.

Overall I felt that the food was a bit heavy and the fish fillet was not quite my style. But again, it really reminded me of the food I had in China, so it seems very authentic!“

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

“I had the fish and chips dinner it was magnificent it was the best I ever had, and trust me I am not easy to please when it comes to fish and chips I've had a lot of places but none of them have come close to this I would highly recommend this establishment to anybody.
Is there a choices of fish covers everybody's taste selection of choices of fish are unbelievable.
If you want an excellent meal at a reasonable price.
Check it out you won't be disappointed“

“Capital Seafood is one of our favorite Chinese restaurants. We live more than an hour away, but we gladly make the trip every time because the food is excellent. However, what truly makes our experience special is Mia’s exceptional service.

As Mexicans, we deeply value warmth and hospitality, and Mia makes us feel at home every time we visit. Her approach is genuine, kind, attentive, and always accompanied by a sincere smile. Not only does she provide impeccable service, but she also creates a memorable experience that keeps us coming back again and again.

In an industry where great service makes all the difference, Mia stands out for her professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for others. People like her are hard to find and represent the very best of hospitality.

If you have the opportunity to visit Capital Seafood, I highly recommend requesting a table served by Mia. Without a doubt, she is one of the best servers we have ever met and one of the main reasons we continue to return.“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“We had a great Mommy outing. The glass partitions made us feel safe.“

“The best Vietnamese Style Lobster and seafood! Always a long queue to be seated. Get here early for best parking and best seating.“

“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.“

“took a date there on a weeknight they let me get to my table early to put flowers on the table for m date. the food was great and the drinks were perfect would recommend this place“

“friendly staff good food reasonable prices 👌“

“This is my go to place for pickup and go dim sum. They don't speak a ton of English but they try. The food is always good and generally moderately priced. I love the seaweed rolls as well as the ham sui gok. Most issues you can't go wrong. If you want no nonsense dim sum that you can just grab and go this is a great place. They do have sit-down traditional dim sum style but it's pretty crowded and the place isn't very big.“

“Buena comida buen servicio“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Me encantan los camarones y su buena atención“

“Delicious sea food and micheladas at a great price!“

“This is by far the most delicious Cantonese restaurant. Too bad they close the temple city branch. I have to drive here to have their lunch special. Menu off the lunch special are also amazing and delicious. It’s truly a gem. Every dish taste amazing. Highly recommended ❤❤❤❤“

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

“😁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!“

“I have driven past this place for years skeptical of the seafood at a small stand, but boy was I proven wrong! So glad the location I was going to was closed because the nearest seafood was Mariscos el Zurdo. I saw they had 7 mares, so we said let's give it a try. Luckily we found parking in the small lot they share & found a table to eat because it sure got full & people waiting on a table.
I am kicking myself for having missed out on the delicious fish taco, shrimp hard shell taco, & agua chile tostada, all these years, but I will sure make up for it. The soup wasn't the best 7 mares i've had, but it was a big hearty bowl with crab legs that my soothed my mom's craving.
I am looking forward to head that way & stop to try other items along with that aguachile tostada 😋“

“Our first time ever Trying the Vietnamese food! One word ; THE BEST!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best shrimp tacos in the world, by far. Have them with the grilled chiles.“

“Went with my boyfriend and my pug, awesome attentive service!! We sat outside and they even brought my dog a water bowl and treats. The food was delicious and fresh. The michelada mix was absolutely delicious! The horchata made from scratch was one of the best I’ve had! This has become our new go to spot! Oh and let me not forget the reasonable prices 10/10“

“Buenísimo todo 😉👍😋 excelente atención y servicio ☺️ limpieza 🧹 y buen precio 👏👏👏“

“I’ve eaten here before and really enjoyed the food, so I was surprised to find the restaurant closed today. There wasn’t any notice explaining why, so I’m not sure what’s going on. Does anyone know the reason or when it will reopen? I’ve attached a photo in case it helps others.“

“This is my go-to Indonesian restaurant whenever I’m in LA. I live in Colorado, but I travel here from time to time for business, and Wayang is always on my list.

The food is delicious and authentic, and I love that Ibu Lily makes most of it herself from scratch. She used to be a private chef for celebrities in Los Angeles, and you can definitely tell she knows her way around the kitchen. Everything I’ve had here has been full of flavor and thoughtfully prepared.

When I visited, Wayang was only taking to-go orders, but they still had a few tables set up for customers who preferred to eat there. It’s a self-serve setup, you grab your own water and utensils and eat from the takeout container. Honestly, I really liked the casual setup. Since the restaurant was set up for to-go service, Ibu Lily let me stay for as long as I wanted, which was perfect since I had a little work to get done. It made the whole experience feel relaxed and unhurried. This way, I had the chance to try several different dishes.

For me, that’s part of the charm of Wayang: authentic Indonesian food, made from scratch, without all the fuss—it feels like home. I’ll definitely be back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Crab Grabber in Pasadena exceeded my expectations! The seafood was incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor. The garlic butter sauce was absolutely delicious, and the portions were generous.

What really surprised me was how good the Chinese food was too. The roasted fish and beef were delicious, and everything tasted fresh and made to order. It's not often you find a place that does both seafood boils and Chinese dishes so well.

The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the service was fast. If you're looking for amazing seafood along with delicious Chinese food, Crab Grabber is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back!“

“We love Mr. Chopsticks food, our favorite is fried pork chops, long green beans. We also have tried and liked honey almond shrimp. There’s so much food to pick from and you can go family style.“

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

“Great food and great service! What more can you ask for!“

“Great place, food is good and Drinks are better 😆 Frozen Mango Margaritas are 💣 I love that they serve chips and dlasa and add a bean dip to it. We always get their Mix Fajitas has chicken, aside shrimp and fish. Seeved with beans and rice tortillas. Although I wish they would add condiments like sour cream, guacamole and Pico de gallo otherwise this is a great buy and can be enough for 2 persons. Also Carnitas burrito and their Molcajete is BOMB!!“

“Jumpin’ Lobster was a good deal for $12.99 a lb! Came with a big piece of corn and a potato! Both were really good! Not mushy. We enjoyed the salt and pepper crab too. The place was not too busy so it was a good place to hang and catch up. Shrimp was big and fresh! Will definitely be back!“
