The presentation was impressive, especially with the seafood being grilled right at the table, which made the whole experience feel interactive and fun. Every bite tasted fresh, and the variety in the combo made it easy to try a little of everything. The pricing is on the higher side, but it's reasonable for the quality of the seafood, generous portions, and overall dining experience. I'd definitely come back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great Korean seafood BBQ spot~

One faux pas, which I find surprisingly common even at restaurants that highlight oysters on the menu: the server forget to bring me an oyster fork and I had to chase one down. The heirloom tomatoes salad was marvelous! Lots of fresh tomatoes bursting flavor, nicely accompanied by avocado slices that enhanced the tomatoes instead of competing with them. This puts to shame the heirloom tomato salad at San Laurel in the nearby Conrad hotel. I'm usually reluctant to order a steak at a seafood restaurant, but I have been recently disappointed several times at steakhouses and gave it a try here. The filet mignon was very good. Service was outstanding, although it faded a bit towards the end of my meal. My server--Christopher--was courteous, friendly, attentive, and mostly quick. Two different managers stopped by several times to check on me. For dessert, a scoop each of sweet cream, white chocolate chip, and peanut butter ice cream and an espresso martini. Ice creams were okay. Espresso martini was marvelous!

It was perfectly pleasant, though be warned: foot traffic passes just a few feet away. I kicked things off with a martini, which was excellent--surprisingly generous by today's standards and a real deal at $12. For starters, I had the Caesar salad. Think tuxedo at a pool party: definitely overdressed. But it was delicious, and I'd order it again--just with light dressing. The fish sandwich was fine, nothing more. I couldn't help thinking McDonald's might edge them out on the Filet-O-Fish (though it's been decades, so who knows). It wasn't bad; I'd just try something different next time.

Chef…read moreGilberto Cetina draws inspiration from the coastal cuisines of Mexico, especially the Yucatán Peninsula, combining traditional Mexican flavors with fresh Southern California and Baja seafood. Don't let the casual food-hall setting fool you -- this place serves some seriously impressive seafood! There is usually a line about 30-90min. Once you ordered, find a table and food will be delivered. I recommend to come during off peak time to avoid long wait. The mesquite-grilled octopus and tacos are always my must-order items whenever I visit. If you love seafood, there's so much to explore here, from fresh ceviche and aguachile to grilled fish and creative tacos. *Pulpo a Las Brasas - $28 Mesquite-grilled Yucatán octopus with almond pipián, cilantro rice, black beans, avocado and pico de gallo. This is one of my absolute must-orders! The grilled octopus is a highlight and a dish I would definitely come back for. *Pescado a Las Brasas - $31 Whole grilled branzino served with cilantro rice, black beans, avocado, pico de gallo and handmade tortillas. A great option if you prefer a whole grilled fish. *Guacamole & Chips - $14 A classic starter to share while waiting for the seafood dishes. *Tostada de Kanpachi + Uni - $24 Premium Baja kanpachi ceviche topped with Santa Barbara sea urchin. A great choice for seafood lovers who enjoy more premium ingredients. *Shrimp Aguachile - $28 Raw New Caledonian prawns in spicy green aguachile, served with fried shrimp heads and avocado. A vibrant, spicy seafood dish for those who enjoy a little kick. *Ceviche Mixto - $23 A refreshing mix of wild Mexican shrimp, Yucatán octopus and halibut ceviche. *Grilled Kanpachi Collars - $20 Two mesquite-grilled Baja kanpachi collars served with cilantro rice, black beans, avocado, pico de gallo and handmade corn tortillas. A nice alternative to the usual fish fillet. *Taco De Pulpo En Su Tinta - $8 Braised and fried Gulf of Mexico octopus with calamari ink sofrito. One of the signature tacos to try, especially if you enjoy octopus! *Smoked Kanpachi Taco - $8 House-smoked Baja kanpachi with Oaxaca cheese, salsa cruda, avocado and peanut salsa macha. A more distinctive taco with a combination of smoky, creamy and nutty flavors. *Baja Shrimp Taco - $6 Classic crispy battered shrimp with crema, mayo, salsa roja, cabbage and pico de gallo. *Baja Fish Taco - $7 Crispy battered local rockfish with crema, mayo, salsa roja, cabbage and pico de gallo. A classic Baja-style fish taco. *Scallop Taco - $9 Pan-seared Maine diver scallop with butter, x'catic salsa, caramelized onions, tomato and marinated fennel. A more elevated take on a seafood taco. Overall: Holbox is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates Mexican coastal cuisine and quality seafood. I would prioritize the mesquite-grilled octopus and make sure to try a few different tacos rather than sticking to just one kind. With so many interesting seafood preparations.

We were wowed. Don't wait as long as we did to get here!…read more This is a friendly, neighborhood feel place with out of this world food. Parking is a disaster but after you get past that hurdle, you're in for a really really good meal. They have interesting drink options - alchoholic and non. I ordered iced tea and while the tea is good, they don't have any sugar options (no sweet & low, etc...) so order something from their unique menu. My SO has to have chowder (chowda here) where ever he goes. He liked this version but felt it maybe needed a little more seasoning. I think chowder/chowda is such a personal thing... it's like the yankee version of chili or soup beans... everyone likes it a different way. I had two each of the oysters of the day and OMG they were both pristinely fresh and outstanding. We ordered two sandwiches - I had the lobster roll and my SO had the fried cod. Both were just perfect. I don't even like fish sandwiches but the one here is a winner. Service is fast, friendly and welcoming. You can dine outside, at the bar or at tables or booths in the small but comfy dining room. This is where you take someone who is visiting out to dinner. Or just go for a casual but lovely dinner. It's so good it works for a special occasion, but given the quality of the food, it really isn't terribly expensive. Loved it. Out of superlatives now. Go.

I booked the bar seating on Sunday for lunch for 2. SERVICE: It was not great throughout the entire meal. We did not feel welcomed at all. The girl shucking the oyster at the bar was our server for most of the meal. She barely greeted us and really only served us when we had to flag her down. When we were ready to order, she told us go ahead but just continued shucking her oysters without writing anything down or acknowledging that she was even listening to us. After we told her our entire order, she continued shucking her oysters for a good minute while we just sat there wondering if she heard us or not... we only figured she got our order when she walked over to the computer to enter it in. FOOD: - Sicilian Crudo: most excited for but most disappointing. Fish was fresh but super salty and very tart. Would not get again. - Dungeness crab cocktail: basic. It was only good because they actually used fresh Dungeness crab. Otherwise it was just drenched in mayo and togarashi spice. - t Tuna aguachile: sauce was good, tuna was fresh. No complaints - lobster bisque roll: our favorite dish but the roll was very small - Chowdaa: good flavor and lots of clams but very watery chowder - trout belly: flavor was very good, loved the sauce, but it was BURNT DISAPPOINTMENT: When we got our receipt, it said that an automatic 4% "restaurant fee" was added to our bill so they can give their servers health insurance and benefits...... and the tip percentage starts at 20%... Why am I paying 24% for terrible service?! Food was mediocre at best. Small portions, pretentious and overpriced. Would not recommend.

Honestly, I need to come here more than once a year. Every time we've visited, the food has always hit. I always leave the restaurant stuffed and satisfied. We had a great time at our most recent dinner. We celebrated our friend's birthday and they made our dinner really special for us. They gave the birthday boy a bedazzled crab house t-shirt, gave us 2 plates of braised salmon on the house and even an extra uni small sized uni bowl. As you can see in my pictures, our table was FULL of food. Service has actually gotten much better than our past few visits. No more pesky, valet guys and they have plenty of parking. I've been tempted to try the other raw marinated crab restaurants but we honestly love this place. Thank you for a great time crab house!

Overall (8.5/10) Pretty good spot for marinated raw crab…read more The crab was fresh and not fishy at all, the workers were phenomenally nice, and the overall experience was really enjoyable. First Impressions (8/10) Very cozy and authentic Korean restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. It was surprisingly not very busy when we went, which made the experience even better. What We Got (8/10) * Soy marinated crab: Very fresh and melts right onto the rice. The sauce is on the sweeter side, almost like a Coca Cola flavor. * Spicy marinated crab: Good flavor but only has a very mild amount of spice. * Panchan: Really good fermented kimchi, rice cake, japchae, and sesame dressed coleslaw. * Each crab dish came with rice and they also serve tea for free. We even got a slice of salmon, which definitely hit the craving. Taste and Quality (7.5/10) The crab was the highlight. No fishy taste and the texture was really soft and rich over the rice. The soy sauce was a little sweeter than I expected, while the spicy sauce could use more heat. Service (10/10) The workers were phenomenally nice and very welcoming. Easily one of the best parts of the experience. Space and Atmosphere (9/10) Really cozy and authentic feeling. The music was mostly BTS, with some BLACKPINK mixed in, which fit the vibe. Apparently Lisa has also visited here. Was It Worth It (7/10) Pretty good for the price, especially with the rice, panchan, tea, and extra salmon. There were also a lot of crab pieces, so you definitely get a decent amount. Final Thoughts A solid spot if you are craving Korean marinated crab. I would come back, especially for the spicy crab and the really nice service.

King Fish is easily one of the cleanest and nicest fish markets I've been to! We stopped by…read moreyesterday to pick up a few different types of fish for a barbecue, and I was so impressed by the quality, freshness, and selection. They have everything you could possibly need--an amazing variety of fresh fish and seafood, sides, seasonings and rubs, sauces, and so much more. They also have a great selection of sake, wine, beer, and other drinks. What makes this place even better is that they have a café where you can order freshly cooked fish and seafood and enjoy it right there. There are tables if you want to sit and eat, and they also make poke bowls. We tried the tuna poke bowl, and it was AMAZING--so fresh and delicious! The entire market was incredibly clean, organized, and well stocked, and you can really tell how fresh everything is. Five stars, 10/10, HIGHLY recommend King Fish! Whether you're buying fresh fish to cook at home, grabbing a poke bowl, or sitting down for a freshly prepared meal, they have it all. We will definitely be back!

Everything we ordered was amazing. I was just a tad bit disappointed by their signature squash buns and their Dutch apple pie. The buns just tasted like regular stale dinner rolls warmed up and the apple pie slice was cold and bland. The salted caramel sauce was the star of the dessert. Only downside was how hot that place was with the sun going down and being directly at us. Crazy we're having this bad of a heat wave in the middle of October. I will definitely be thinking about this dinner for a while. We probably would've stayed longer for some drinks and hung out at the beach for the sunset, but Bruno was waiting for us. Thank you guys so much, we'll definitely be back!
