50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Studio City

“Not only is the food great, and the inside of the restaurant stunning - the owner and staff are just the best! We had a graduation dinner of 40 people scheduled for a dinner downtown that had to be canceled due to protests/curfew. We called last minute to see if Leona’s could take us. We got lucky since it was early it the week. The owner and his team jumped in to accommodate us and were so helpful! We got so lucky. Even though we were a last minute booking, they treated our large group with such care. The staff worked so hard and our evening was perfect! This place is a gem, not only for the fantastic food, but for the hard-working, kind-hearted folks working there. Thank you!“

“I previously enjoyed dining at this poke establishment. However, the recent shift in atmosphere towards being unwelcoming and impolite has been quite disappointing. It is evident that the presence of the owner greatly improves the level of service and friendliness among the staff. While I typically refrain from leaving negative feedback, I strongly believe that individuals working in the food industry must maintain a professional and courteous demeanor when interacting with customers.“

“Love it mane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’“

“Excellent food !! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu“

“Loved our meals, took my son here who’s 17 and he loved his meal. He had the milanesa napolitana and i had the chicken with mushrooms on it. Service was also phenomenal“

“Great food and service First time they are but I will come back from now on and enjoy a great food“

“The whole experience was amazing. Service was quick and friendly. They were very knowledgeable and made great recommendations. The chefs quickly made our rolls and each one was better than the last. With everything being made right in front of us, you could tell that everything was fresh and of the highest quality. This time we got the 5 hand roll set, a H.Y.E., and, our favorite, Uni Shooters. I cannot wait to come back and try the bowls next time!“

“Excellent Italian food. Fine dining. Great for special occasions.“

“I’ve always had an amazing experience at this location. I really just want to give appreciation to everyone who works at the restaurant . I’ve been coming here for the past 7 months and can say I haven’t had a bad experience once. I got to meet a very nice and respectable manager who is always very polite and looking to make his customers happy. Josue has always made sure my experience there was nothing less than great.“

“Everything about this place is excellent. The food is flavorful and clearly made with care, the service is kind and attentive, and the atmosphere is both elegant and inviting. A wonderful dining experience every 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“

“Delicious food and super friendly staff. I would highly recommend“

“This was a great brunch and starting with the grapefruit and juniper spritz set the right tone because they were perfectly balanced. I hate cocktails that throw off the balance with alcohol. Baked scallops, great flavor; lobster pasta I highly recommend because the sauce could be eaten by itself it’s so good; smoke salmon Benedict was done to perfection and the highlight for me was the addition of avocado and a very thin super crispy muffin! I always think muffins are too big so that was a big plus for me.“

“Although I was a little put off by the paper plate table settings… this was by far the most delicious food I’ve had… a wildly unexpected treat! Simple yet brilliant flavors using incredible olive oil… it’s my new favorite place! Highly recommended…“

“This place exceeded my expectations. The food, the vibe, and the service were all flawless. Will definitely coming back here again“

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

“Simply delicious, we enjoy sunday brunch!“

“Malama polo restaurant is best�Highly recommend for all.“

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

“Excellent food and fantastic service😊“

“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.“

“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“

“I’ve been hearing about this place a lot recently — it’s basically Korean BBQ but with seafood. Came on a weekday with a group of 8, and while it’s usually busy, we grabbed a table in the back patio so we didn’t have to wait too long.

We went with the Captain Set and the Crew Set. Both came with banchan and cold Korean noodles, which were super refreshing alongside all the grilled seafood. Everything is cooked over coals, which gives it a nice smoky flavor that really brings the seafood to life. I even tried hagfish for the first time — definitely unique, but glad I gave it a shot.

Price-wise, it feels a little high for what you get. At the end of the day it’s just seafood, so it didn’t really fill me up the same way a KBBQ set would. But the quality was good, and I liked that the meal finished with a hot noodle soup — comforting and a nice way to end the spread.

Overall, it’s a fun spot to check out with friends if you’re into grilled seafood and want something different from the usual KBBQ routine.“

“Delicious food, excellent service ~ our table ordered Caesar salad, clam chowder, tiger prawns, crab cakes, sea bass, ahi tuna, swordfish, tiramisu, and carrot cake (maybe a bit more) and everything was superb ~ the taste, the presentation, the service, the space. Highly recommend.“

“Beyond expectations! Best meal & service in at least 10 years. I’ll be back!“

“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 is a great spot for a seafood forward Mexican meal with an absolutely stunning patio. We got a few dishes but the standouts are the scallop tostada (culichi tostada) and the branzino zarandeados. The branzino comes with beans, rice, avocado, tortillas, quesadillas, onions and salsas. We loved making our own tortilla with the quesadillas that it came with. Make sure you leave room for the iconic LA churros!!“

“Tar and Roses was fabulous. The food was delicious. Scott was so attentive and never let us run out of water. We were seated out on the patio and it was so romantic. All the food was fresh and tender. Would for sure go again for another special occasion.“

“Hurtig betjening og fantastisk aftensmad 🦞🍺🦐“

“Nice for fine dinning! One block away from Rodeo Dr!“

“What a fantastic plate of oysters. The horseradish was hand grated. Has a lobster roll as well with thin fries with old bay. Service was great food was super fast.“

“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.“

“Gem alert!! Absolutely delicious food (great lobster rolls in quality, portion, and flavor; fryer expertly manned so your calamari is creamy and crisp outside; house-made sauce that is both delicious and interesting). The service is great, the vibe is relaxed, and the beer choices are good. Can’t wait to come back for lobster rolls and a pitcher of beer to share.“

“The food was delicious and the soft drinks as well, excellent service and atmosphere too!! Thank you so much Natalies Peruvian restaurant!!! I extremely recommend you the Lomo Saltado, Tallarines verdes, Yucas fritas and Chicharrón de calamar!!!“

“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“

“A nice small family owned seafood shop. Also they have an amazing lobster roll deal. $25 for two lobster rolls ,chips and a drink“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“Great food , excellent customer service and friendly I will stop by all the time, because food are delicious 🤤“

“Atmosphere, food on point“

“Lobster Bisque in a bread bowl!“

“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“

“Andy’s is a great place to grab tacos or a burrito. We usually get the quesadilla and sometimes nachos to round it out. Great prices, the tacos taste fresh with crispy veggies. It’s the kind of place you might just pass by because it’s tucked away in an old mall but you’d be missing out.“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“Having visited Luke's in New York and also ordered online to our West Coast home, was guardedly excited to see how this phenomenal product has translated out west. I was delightfully surprised with not only the consistently amazing food, but also the accommodating and attentive customer service. I took an order to go with about an hour and a half drive to my home from the Santa Monica location and everything arrived perfectly and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Keep up the great work!!!!“

“Absolutely Phenomenal! Ann and her staff were excellent. The food was perfect. The night was perfect. The restaurant is perfect. You get what you pay for and everything in life. This is well worth it.“

“Great food, creative cuisine“

“I have been coming here for over 20 years!! This staple of the community provides affordable seafood. A total hidden gem, you must try the ceviche tostadas and cocktails. Cash only!

Parking: Parking is very limited, if you are lucky you can get a spot next to the place.“

“I will like to give a shout out to the chef. I think his name is Shawn or Sean. When we got to Santa Monica, we looked up restaurants to go have our 26 year anniversary dinner, we stayed at Hotel Delmar right across the street. We googled the restaurant menu, and decided what we were going to have. when we got there, and they brought out the menus, all what we decided to have was not on there. I was crushed. Because I had my mind set on the Halibut. I said it's ok I will just have the Ribeye, mind you I had a ribeye steak the night before. When the waiter came back, my wife asked if it's possible to get the Halibut and he said let me check with the chef. He came back later and said the chef said it's no problem. I was blown away. That was the best Halibut ( besides mine) that I have ever had. Thank you chef Shawn. From one chef to another, thank you. you made my night.“

“Service, Lobster and oyster sampler was great!“

“Asked for a view in a 3/4 empty room, was told 2 people couldn't have the corner seat. Was offered an inferior view so we left. Bad business to turn away a couple over seat preferences. We have never been to a Bubba Gump Shrimp restraunt before, will never return either. Too bad. Went across the pier to Seaside on the pier and have an excellent view.“
