If you ever get hungry while shopping at the Del Amo Fashion Center than EMC Seafood & Raw Bar is a good option to enjoy some cocktails and seafood. I came here today for their Happy Hour menu and ordered a half dozen of the Chef's choice oysters along with garlic noodles, honey crispy shrimp, braised pork belly, truffle salmon carpaccio and fried zucchini fries all on the HH menu along with some wine to pair with the food. I felt the garlic noodles was a bit bland and the zucchini fries was nothing special. Everything else was delicious. The Uni pasta isn't on the HH menu but it is definitely a must try here. We were seated right away and our server was friendly.

Happy Hour all the way! My hubby and I decided to finally try this place one day and OMG, we loved it so much. We thought, maybe it was just luck. So we came back to celebrate my birthday with some friends and the fam. Little did we know, we'd love it even more! I love how quick the service is. For a group of 15+, we were seated in 5 minutes! On top of that, our servers were friendly and attentive at all times. Uni pasta isn't on the HH menu but definitely must try. I couldn't stop thinking about it the next day! It was that delicious. Also, $1.50/oyster during HH! We had to do a dozen per person. I mean, why not?! Let's just say, we've never done HH like that before. Worth every penny. Anything with truffle oil on it, order it!! No kidding. You're welcome!

Got a dozen oysters and they were so fishy we didn't even finish them. We asked our server if they were fresh but of course he went along and said they receive fresh oysters every day.

How long would it take to prepare a pasta and stir-fried beef? An hour and half? I don't think so. If you don't have the capacity to take delivery order then don't, you are wasting others' time.

The 1st time hubby and I went, we really enjoyed the food here so we brought our children the next tune we came. Unfortunately, they didn't have the same sentiment as me and my hubby. The service was also not as good as we did the 1st time. And it wasn't even that busy either. But overall, we still enjoyed some of the food except for the sushi which was mediocre.

The food here was awesome! The oysters melted in your mouth and the Carpaccio was nice and tender. We also ordered the seafood garlic noodles and the miso soup. The seafood garlic noodles were so flavorful and good, but the miso soup didn't have much miso in it. The miso soup reminded me of a French onion soup, but with tofu and seaweed lol. Our service was awesome and would definitely come back. I really loved this spot. I'm grateful Yelp let me know this spot was around!

First time here and won't be the last. Came here for happy hour and I was pretty impressed. Surprisingly it was very empty. But regardless, we enjoyed our delicious food. It's right outside the mall entrance in Torrance, Ca. So stop by here and grab something to eat and then shop till you drop.

Recently had a birthday dinner with more than 20 guests and the staff really made it a special event. Jorge the manager was extremely helpful and accommodating. He was a huge help in choosing the dishes, providing a private spot in the restaurant, and making sure we we were all taken care of. He and the staff always went the extra mile. Jorge even called us the day of the event to make sure we were going to be ok sitting outside because it was a colder day. The food was great and reasonably priced. The quality is great and the variety of dishes is convenient when you have a large group with different tastes. The fries with truffle aoili are ridiculous, the beer is cold, and the sushi is delicious. Thank you Jorge for your hospitality.

Food tastes great bit some of the menu seems way too priced for its worth

Nice foods and nice service! Specially during the happy hour time, you can get huge discounts on the foods. Dont miis it.
Crab fried rice was very bland, hot and sour soup was oily and overly sweet, seafood noodles were very soggy, Kung pao chicken was just ok, not spicy like it typically should be, sushi was just ok, the shrimp tempura roll was not crunchy, squid with broccoli did not have enough broccoli. Over was an overpriced disappointment.

Extremely underwhelming. This tasted like boxed ramen noodles with shrimp. Literally nothing else was in this pasta. They claim this is a best seller. Not worth $20 at all, maybe $5. What a waste of time and money. Don't waste your time, skip this place.

What a great find for indoor or outdoor dining. This restaurant is located at the mall but in a good area. The outdoor seating literally felt indoors but you got a great breeze. The food here was delicious and fresh. Service was a bit slow but obviously because of the pandemic. The server we had was great! I felt bad for him because he was serving all of the outside area. Maybe management should put two people outside. Anyway, there are no complaints here just a happy and satisfied customer. Thanks
