    Combo Fried Rice
    Andrew C.

    Hit up this spot in Long Beach recently and oh man... you guys gotta check out A&J Seafood Shack. Service was super friendly. Parking's a bit small but there's a lot behind that has more spots, and have some outdoor seating. We got their Combo fried rice, oysters (which was sooo good, and their sauce - CHEF'S KISS), and the garlic shrimp plate.. everyone was so flavorful and price was decent for each dish. They do not skimp out and filled each box really well. I will be returning, but please go show some love and support!

    This place is a tiny shack that can easily be overlooked by passerby but definitely worth a stop. The beef skewers were tender and had a nice balance of char and lemongrass flavors. The spring rolls were fresh and delicious. They have a couple of picnic tables but it's mainly intended as place for street food/takeout.

    Beef Stick Rice
    Rick S.

    Great place for fresh seafood and Cambodian food. The beef stick rice, garlic shrimp and crispy salmon were freshly cooked, high quality and they all tasted so delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful with recommendations. The ambiance is consistent of a shack with only a few outdoor tables and seatings. Get here early for the few available parking spots. Otherwise, street parking are available too.

    Garlic Shrimp
    Mai T.

    The garlic shrimp is a stand out dish. Most of the garlic flavor comes from the rich sauce. There is not a lot of chopped garlic bits coating the shrimp if that is what you prefer. I found this fine. The sauce is generously poured on and soaked up by the rice, giving the rice much needed flavor and taste balance. A lemon wedge and several slices of pineapple are included to give the dish its tropical taste. There is some outdoor covered seating around the shack but you are generally facing the small parking lot. Good place to grab a quick bite but I saw most get their orders to go.

    Last time I was here I had the fried rice which was phenomenal! I was tempted to get it again today but I wanted to try something different. I opted for stir fried noodles with no sausage and the salt and pepper wings. They were packaged nicely for transporting home but I had to take a quick bite before the ride home. The noodles were delicious and chicken was nice and tender. The wings were crispy and tasted great even without dipping it in the accompanying sauce on the side. The lady at the window was super friendly and answered my questions. Small outdoor patio is nice and casual on a beautiful day like today. Definitely a hidden gem of the city! Drive by too fast you'll miss it!

    Used to love their seafood boil bag. I have gotten mine with 2 added Dungeness crabs added so it becomes high in cost but when I want it, I close my eyes that it's $133 before tax, tip and delivery fee which then becomes about $170. The sauce is great but the shrimps are mushy and overcooked. The real issue is the crabs. The flesh are mushy and grainy in texture like there are fine grainy feel in your mouth. I know they were previously frozen but the first time I ate them, they were good then the next two times, they were awful. I gave them the third time bcz I was hoping the second time was just incidental. Unfortunately, the problem repeated. They should taste their own food sometimes to see what their customers are getting.

    The food was absolutely delicious and 100% worth the hype. Everything we tried was packed with flavor, but I'm still thinking about the garlic shrimp... seriously THAT good. Perfectly cooked, super flavorful, and just one of those dishes you keep craving after you leave. The whole experience lived up to what everyone says--great food, great vibes, and definitely a spot I'll be coming back to when I'm in Long Beach again.

    Seafood Chowder
    Megan T.

    what a cute lil shack! they also have a couple of benches to eat at, but very limited parking. we got lucky someone left the small plaza as we got there. we ordered a bunch of goodies, we heard this place was poppin' and we're RARELY in Long Beach, so we wanted to make the best of the visit (and mind you, we weren't even super hungry) garlic shrimp: very very flavorful, I don't know the exact term but it had the same bite in the back of your mouth when you eat a little too much sweet chili sauce, in a good way. this was like #2 on their top dishes so we figured why not, they also give a LOT of rice. and this came with cute slices of pineapple and lemon. beef stick rice: we ordered everything else and asked for a recommendation of another dish and the lady said to get this. very tender, also flavorful. Since we had smaller appetites, this was basically finished before we left to get back home. seafood chowder: holy moly, I mean the cheese being shredded (chef's kiss emoji), imitation crab, green onions, shrimp, potato, this was so rich and creamy. we regretted only getting a cup but it was also just enough due to the richness (and our lactose intolerant tummies). vietnamese coffee: well I didn't know it was going to come in a cup as big as one's bladder, but this (as one knows about Vietnamese coffee) packed the punch in your throat by the first sip. I felt like I got flashbanged in the gulag. the flavor was also delicious, can't go wrong - but maybe let the ice melt before you try chugging it.

    Ah this garlic shrimp was sooo good! I loved the heafty amount of rice it comes with and the sweet slices of pineapple too. I've passed by this place so many times and honestly tried it when I saw this place listed by Infatuation. And I'm very happy I gave this place a try. The service was relatively fast and I think the price for this large plate is very reasonable. Truly a shack in the corner so very chill vibes. Everything looks good on the menu but I can for sure say the garlic shrimp is packed with flavor. I need to try other dishes from here frfr

    Fried Crispy Salmon
    Shelly A.

    One of the best seafood spots I've eaten at in Long Beach! My girlfriend and I ordered the crispy salmon, garlic shrimp and lobster, and all dishes were absolutely worth it. We placed a pickup order, and it was ready quickly, which was a nice bonus. The seafood tasted incredibly fresh and well-seasoned. The garlic shrimp, crispy salmon, in particular, stood out, it was easily one of the crispiest salmon and season shrimp I've ever had. I also loved that it came with a dip and a side salad, which complemented the dish perfectly. The prices are great for the quality you get, and the outdoor seating area has a nice, breezy vibe. I'd definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for delicious seafood!

    Stir fried noodles
    Ann T.

    My friends and I came here after a day at Anime Los Angeles. There's only outdoor seating so you're going to have to eat in your car or sneak into the nearby McDonald's if it's super windy and cold outside. The food came out decently quickly enough and we hauled ass to run away from the cold afterwards. Unfortunately, a lot of the more unique things that we wanted to order off of the menu was sold out, so that was a bit disappointing. We got the: 1) Fried Whole Squid: -Always see these offered at night markets and you don't usually see it offered at restaurants so we ordered this. Comes with lime and their house sauces. -Tentacles were hard and chewy. Overall this was a bit too dry and chewy even with the sauces. Not like the quality fried squid that I've had elsewhere with the moister meat on the inside. 2) Beef sticks on rice: -Comes with 2 large skewers with lemon grass marinated grilled beef served with steamed rice, pickled papaya, and garnished with cilantro and green onion. -Probably the best of what we ordered. Moist and deliciously sauced beef. Went great with the rice. Pickled papaya was a unique addition to it too. 3) Stir Fried noodles: -Flat rice noodles tossed with chicken, shrimp, Chinese sausage, eggs, onions, Chinese broccoli and carrots. -It was more veggies than anything. Not that many noodles and the meat was all dry outside of the Chinese sausage. I took some bites of this and was done. Took the rest back to feed my dad who had to cook extra protein to go with this. 4) Spring Rolls: -Made with mint, lettuce, shrimp, pork belly, cucumber and bean sprout with all of the sauces. -The most disappointing of everything that we ordered. -All the meat inside was super dry, making the entire spring roll even drier than it already was, even with dousing it with sauce. Literally you can get better spring rolls at BMC. That's bad. 5) Thai Tea: -Decent fast food level Thai tea. Sweet pick me up if you need it. All we wanted was to try the Khmer sausage but completely sold out for the night. Food was mid and a bit disappointing to all of us to the point where we ordered extra McD's where we were camping in.

    Fried squid

    This little gem in Long Beach is a great spot to grab some great food! It's a very small building and there are a few seats outside or you may need to eat in your car but it's worth it! Items to order - the giant fried squid , egg rolls , salt and pepper wings and the seafood chowder!

    Laleen K.

    I ordered the Grilled Beef sticks, and honestly, it was very nostalgic for me as this is a Cambodian Cuisine Staple. The service was quick, we called to order about 15 mins before arriving and it was ready when we got there to order takeout. It is a tiny shack located in Long Beach with a small lot, very cute spot and not very big. I want to come and support their business more, they seem like a very sweet small business.

    I have a digestive intolerance to gluten (but rice & corn ok). Do any of these dishes have soy sauce, barley, rye, or wheat ingredients and/or can they be made without those ingredients? Khmer Sausage, Braised Pork Bowl, Seafood Chowder, Cajun Bag?

    You’re good. We’re not using any of those ingredients you’re intolerant to.

    Can bring my own beer?

    It's just a shack with outdoor seating. Bring it at your own risk.

    Good flavors that reminds me of Hawaii? Owner: Bring back the flag painting that was there before! 👍

    Were in the process of creating a full wall murial that will include the flags and other cools sea creature arts. Hope to have complete soon.

    Do you use any all purpose flour in your garlic shrimp? Wheat/Gluten allergy, so I want to double check. Thanks!

    Our garlic shrimp are not battered with flour. So you’re good.

    Hi Vannak, Is it possible to order the bag of shrimp without any added sugar or sweetness?…

    Im sorry, our sauces are pre-made in large batches, so were not able to customize it to your liking except for heat level.

    Can you buy just the papaya salad?

    Yes, you can purchase a side of pickle papaya as part of an order with something else such as beef stick, wings...etc. We don’t however sell it by itself of sell large quantities of it due to limited supplies.

    Are they already open for business?

    Hi Jove! Our soft opening will be Friday, April 10th, 2020! We look forward to seeing you then for takeout of our fresh seafood!

However, as a Long Beach food lover and…read moresupporter I'd be doing a disservice not saying that this is just not the place to eat in Long Beach. There is metered street parking and it's not too hard to find a spot. The decor is also beautiful and it's a wonderful ambiance with consistent GREAT service. On the real real- I am disappointed in the food. Each time. Every time I've been here I actually don't eat the food beyond a bite or tie because it's just not good. However, I will say if you are looking for a cute place to people watch on second street and grab a cocktail then this is perfect. I've tried over half of the menu and I've never been impressed with anything. I never can even get past one or two bites. I kept going back to give them another shot, but at this point, I've decided I can't recommend anyone to eat here, especially for the price point. This last visit I had an amazing bartender and preserved a poke bowl, ceviche, and shrimp cocktail. None were good and I can't even call them satisfactory. I had two bites of the poke and it was bland, boring, and actually tasted bad. Same with the shrimp. The ceviche was also off and my friend and I left full plates and no questions were asked as to why and if we liked the food. We didn't. Very cute place, friendly servers. Mediocre at best food, and very expensive. This 11th chance leaving disappointed (and hungry) was the last chance. I tried.

The hubby didn't like it either. His was also missing any lobster.

But the shrimp tacos itself lacked flavor. It was a super miss for me as well. The red salsa was not good either. But this is just me. You may like this place. It's just not for me. The lemonade though .... That was definitely delicious. I don't think we will be back to this place. $12 for lobster bisque that's not so lobster or bisque
