“Upscale but relaxed and casual- nice vibes. We had a great view of the open kitchen from where we sat.“

“The food and service were awesome. However, I did order a latke and caviar but didn’t get it nor was I charged. I guess it was missed somehow. Either way we had more than enough food. Thank you to our waitress for recommending me the fish and chips, it was tasty. Oh and the Sweetbun Crown was AMAZING.“

“Simply delicious, we enjoy sunday brunch!“

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

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

“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?! 😋“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food, new favorite local spot. Please please come on down and try them out, theyre staffed with generous and nice people and the food is very fresh and house a great assortment of flavors. The grilled onions you're able to add on are some of my favorite. My pictures don't do the place justice but I promise they are great“

“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.“

“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!“

I appreciate how clean the establishment was and a nice service that I received.

Zucchini was nicely seasoned, the rice was nice and plump and the corn is some of the best I've ever had.

Mycoll was on the food items with great care.

Nicole was a pleasant help with a calm demeanor and a nice smile.

Michelle's was a wonderful support to her co-workers.“

“This place is soooo EPIC!! So epic the cast of Parasite movie ate here after winning the #Oscars! Nackchi bokum was the best I ever ate but everything was authentic and delicious!! 🦑👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️“

“Reall bomb sushi rolls were the yellowtail and spicy tuna roll. Wow. Our waiters suggestions didn't disappoint and only impressed us with the high quality of flavor from this restaurant. Would go here again and ambience is very romantic“

“Boiling Crab is one of my favorite places to go their catfish and their chicken strips are so amazing. You will not be disappointed. My husband and son loves their shrimp crab clams and so much more. You will definitely have to try.“

“Very cute spot, that I would return to if I had a random weekday off. When we went there were hardly any other parties so we had no issues finding a seat.

The menu has something for everyone. It didn't take long for our order to come out. Portions were bigger than what I was expecting (I was worried they were going to be tapas sized portion, but the yellowtail tostada was quite filling), so I would say that dishes are reasonably priced. My friend and I felt the flavors hit the mark with each dish.

In retrospect, I could have ordered just the tostada with my americano and be satisfied. But I am glad to have tried more things on the menu. I would say that the dishes, while savory, leaned more light which I think is perfect for brunch.

During our visit, I got the yellowtail tostada, fish taco, and flautas. All were delicious. They also have a milk punch/clarified cocktail that my friend ordered (which are hard to find in LA) and it was also a well balanced drink.“

“Great friendly service and very well prepared cuisine! Great experience“

“I love this place! They have the best “French dip” ever.“

“This was hands down, the best surf and turf I have had in a very long time. The atmosphere is fantastic and the staff was amazing. Try them out!“

“Ich liebe Bubba Gump und besuche praktisch jedesmal wenn ich bei m Universal Citywalk unterwegs bin. Wer Shrimps mag, liebt diesen Laden.“

“What a great find! We had oysters, crawfish and seafood soup for dinner. Food was great, but even better was the service, which was very friendly and helpful. It was fun to compose our main dish! Highly recommended if you like Thai-style seafood with a twist.“

“Burritos are amazing (5 star)skip the nachos. Cute little place with limited seating.

Beware ordering online—I order online and paid (have the receipt) but the restaurant never got the order. The staff was quick to make the order once I showed the receipt, so 5 stars for that, but the website is iffy.“

“Best crab legs I have had in over a year. It was perfectly cooked the special Cajun garlic sauce was amazing and I added on the sausage corn and potatoes best decision ever. You must try.“

“First time coming in store and ordering food from this chain. Amazing service, very attentive and friendly. Location was clean and well lit. The food didn’t take long and was a big portion. Wasn’t greasy or heavy at all. Definitely coming back, my only complaint is not coming sooner to try it out.“
