“This is my favorite seafood restaurant in los angeles! They're fresh is so fresh and I'm in love with their salmon, candy and their Char. Roiled swordfish sandwiches! Even there, lettuce on their spring summer salad is the freshest.Most beautiful shade of green and red.And they're dressing is divine! I wish I could eat there every day.

You guys truly have an amazing restaurant and market!

Oh, and I forgot to mention they even have take home recipes and recipes on their website! Wow!! Can I be the first Santa Monica seafood brand ambassador?! 😋“

“Overall the food just wasn't very good. The bruschetta was just plain bad. Mushy. The peas were prepared like edamame and did not taste like fresh peas at all. The corn dish was good but not great. My husband likes almost any Brussel sprouts but barely ate these. He had some ribs which he liked and I had some spaghetti which I thought was good but not great. My drink was okay and he liked his beer. Disappointing.“

“Amazing takeout family meal which features the most flavorful and delicious Char Siu Wagyu Short Rib with fluffy bao. All side dishes are well executed and delectable. One of the best staying at home meals I’ve had! Highly recommend it!“

“Me fascinan los camarones gigantes y su langosta 😋“

“Excellent food and fantastic service😊“

“If you’re in East LA and craving solid mariscos, Playita Mariscos is hands-down a go-to spot. I’ve been coming here for years, and it never disappoints.

Their shrimp tacos are a must. You can get them hard or soft, and either way they’re packed with flavor. I love that every taco plate comes with rice and beans and chips — it makes it a full, satisfying meal. And let’s talk about the ceviche: it’s always fresh and super good. They offer different types, so there’s something for everyone, and you can really taste the quality in every bite.

The people who work here are friendly and generous with the salsa and extras, which always makes the experience even better. The restaurant itself is super clean, and even though it’s usually packed on the weekends, the vibe is welcoming and worth the wait.

Playita Mariscos has been a staple for me for years, and it’s still one of my favorite stops for shrimp tacos and fresh ceviche in East LA.“

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

“5 Stars all around. The service and food were stellar. This is hands down the BEST seafood boil restaurant I’ve hand in LA. We found this place from Instagram and I had it saved as a “Want to Go” but I have just moved it to my favorites. We ordered the 4LB boil and got shrimp, scallops, snow crabs, sausage, corn and broccoli. This place was flavorful without being overly salty. My only knock is that it took a while to find a parking space. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a seafood boil. You will not waste your money here.“

“Lobster Bisque in a bread bowl!“

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

“Burning Shell was such a great experience. The space has a cozy but stylish vibe, perfect for a casual night out or a special dinner. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the whole visit feel relaxed and welcoming.“

“Been to this place a couple of times before. It's totally a very casual vibe, the bartenders are unbelievably friendly and helpful. The food is delicious and not on the expensive side especially for what you get. We will continue to go back. Great selection of beer if that's what you are into.“

“L&E is my go-to neighborhood spot. So lucky that I am steps (well, two flights of Silver Lake steps) away. I just threw my birthday there with my closest girlfriends and their staff made the night so special. The food was incredible, the vibes were immaculate - always have an amazing time at L&E.“

“exelente servicio la comida muy sabrosa😋 aquí encuentra amabilidad y cortecia 😍 🤩“

“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.“

“All the food was outstanding. The raw fish and seafood was unbelievably fresh and aptly paired with elevated fresh flavors. The tostadas reminded me of Contramar in Cdmx, but even better (dare i say).

The atmosphere is beautiful, has a massive garden space, scattered lighting, copious succulents. It feels like an escape right in LA. The service is warm, personable, efficient.

Definitely worth the trip and such a great find.“

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

“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！“

“There was a lovely engagement last night in front of Prosecco’s . Young love, and she said, “Yes!”“

“This place is a true gem and I love shopping there for all my sushi and Japanese food and sake amazing selection and excellent service! If you enjoy fresh sushi fish that are reasonably priced then you most definitely must check out this gem!!! Also they teach lessons that sell out quickly so you must sign up for their monthly news email that gives you so much information about all that they do!“

“The inside decor and set up of this place is nice and comfortable. I took my dad here for his 90th bday because he loves oysters. I researched ADA access in advance and it seemed to accommodate but onsite it's very tight navigation. Tables and seats on the patio partially blocked the wheelchair access route. Some diners weren't pleasant or accommodating about moving. Also parking is difficult if busy. Very small shared lot and tight and limited street parking. We were fortunate because we had an early reservation but when we left cars were stacked on the adjacent street waiting for space. Physical mobility and parking loses this place a star. The food and service were otherwise good. Met our expectations. The prices are pricey but we knew that and didn't mind since it was for my dad's experience. It would be tough to make this a regular dining experience due to cost. Otherwise the shellfish was fresh, but their Cesar salad was a bit overdressed, the presentation was very good and 3 of us left feeling satisfied. Only bummer was my dad was not offered a bday treat, they don't really do that I guess.“

“A Peruvian gem tucked away in a strip mall absolutely delivers.

Perfectly seasoned lomo saltado with tender beef, fries soaking up that savory sauce, and fluffy rice on the side. Bright, fresh ají verde that actually has depth, not just heat and would be good on just about anything. Finished it off with plantains and a creamy Peruvian dessert that hit exactly right.

Delicious food. Bold flavors. Attentive and friendly staff.

This is the kind of place you remember and come back to.“

“If you want a good meal before your flight, much better than airport food, this is your place. It’s a quick walk from the airport. The guy behind the counter was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The food was hot and fresh and a good portion size.“

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING“

“The best deep fried fish and shrimp around. We drive from the inland empire to LA for the food, it's that good. Best to dine in as the food is best fresh. Very nice people who work there, always polite. The number 12 combo with rice, beans, and gravy is my favorite.

Restrooms unavailable at all unfortunately.“

“Awesome Steakhouse! Everything was amazing and our server Andre was fantastic. I went for my birthday and even the birthday dessert was great. I was also looking for a place for a small dinner party so I had a chance to meet with one of the managers, Joel and he was also great. Definitely looking forward to coming back. Beautiful ambiance and tasty food!“
