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.“

“We came to try this place on a Friday, craving mariscos. Super loud. It’s definitely not a place to bring your family to have a peaceful dinner. I ordered a mixta tostada and the fish was too chunky. They also added ketchup on it! The tostada was not good. Shrimp was fresh! We will not be coming back.“

“Little skewers are the best over-all barbecue place to go in my opinion. A lot of bbq places have food quality and sanitation problems. But little skewers never disappointed me. Service at very branch is good a usual.
There was a singer performance on Friday. I think the place has limited vacancy for that. It was loud and hard to talk. It was also weird that the singer is walking around by every table when you are eating.“

“Super delicious amazing food and service is great“

“One of my favorite Taiwanese restaurants in the area. The food here is incredibly authentic, with flavors that remind me of traditional Taiwanese home cooking. Their roasted duck is especially outstanding. Perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and tender and juicy inside. The service is always friendly and attentive, making every visit enjoyable. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Definitely a place I keep coming back to and highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Taiwanese cuisine.“

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

“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“

“Great food and new location!“

“Great food, nice service, liked the ambiance. Definitely recommended“

“The Sour Cabbage Fish features a distinctive flavor profile, characterized by a delightful acidity and subtle notes of chrysanthemum. However, the accompanying dried tofu was exceptionally tough. Overall, the execution of the dishes was merely average. The Braised Tofu Pot lacked the savory depth typically provided by cured pork or mushrooms. The pairing of brown sugar mochi with ice cream was a brilliant creative concept; however, the mochi itself was poorly prepared—having been deep-fried, it was overly greasy and had become saturated with oil.“

“😁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!“

“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.“

“Wonderful and helpful staff! Frances notcied me sitting outside and offered to bring a water. It was unexpected, above and beyond. Great healthy options too. Will definitely be back. Grub Hub is a helpful way to discover good eats in the area. I appreciate that they have indoor and outdoor seating and even booths. So glad I stopped by!“

“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“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“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.“

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

“Under new ownership and already such a difference. I stopped by last night and had a FANTASTIC meal. I ordered the snapper and catfish meal with two sides. The fish was tender and perfectly seasoned and the colored greens and string beans were amazing. Perfectly seasoned and nice and hot. They give you two sauces and two slices of bread as well if you want to make a sandwich. It’s inexpensive and the customer service was excellent. I can tell lots of love has already gone into this place and will as the new owners settle in. Looking forward to stopping here regularly!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 😋“

“Me encantan los camarones y su buena atención“

“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!“

“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 ��“

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

“Buena comida buen servicio“

“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!!“

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

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

“This restaurant has an extensive menu of northern Chinese, Sichuan dishes and Peking duck. Unlike other pecking duck restaurants, we did not have the call in advance to pre order the duck. We were a party of 2 and we tried the marinated cold jelly fish, the pecking duck and the stir fried morning glory (ong choi) with garlic. We found all these dishes delicious and of high quality. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. The dining room is nicely decorated and noise level low.“

“friendly staff good food reasonable prices 👌“

“This spot was recommended to us and it did not disappoint. The moment we walked in the vibe was amazing. The girls were awesome very nice and helpful. I wish I can name them all but the one person that served us was Vanessa. She was really sweet explaining the menu the point we can make by registering and so on! The place is very clean and very tidy! The boil was perfect and the sides were delicious. We had the fries (lemon pepper) garlic bread & onion rings, all 10/10! There is so many things I can say but I don't want to bore you guys. Lol you need to try it for yourself:)“

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

“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“

“Top Island is a classic gem in Alhambra for authentic Cantonese cuisine and dim sum. We came here for dinner and were blown away by the variety and quality. The Salt and Pepper Shrimp & Squid was perfectly crispy and seasoned, and the Empress Chicken was incredibly tender with that signature ginger-scallion dipping sauce. We also loved the Beef with Tomato—so savory and comforting! The atmosphere is bustling and traditional, perfect for big family gatherings. Great service and very reasonable prices for the portion sizes. Definitely a go-to spot in the area!“

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

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

“Been coming here for years. Their tostada servings are always generous. Their rice and beans are great. Tostada mixta is my go to but I also was craving the mojarra as you can see. Everything tasted great. Small place, and the decor is very dated. But the food makes up for it. Good for to-go orders too.“

“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“

“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!!!“

“Excelente servicio 👌🏼 muy recomendable“

“Super delicious amazing food and service is great“

“My wife’s family and I come here at least 1-2 a month. I love coming here. Typically I’ll order their salt and pepper pork, but I’ve yet to order something I didn’t like on their menu.

Service is always extremely friendly and the food usually comes out promptly.“
