Ordered from this place through uber eats and had a horrible food experience with this restaurant. And before you try to come at me with "oh well, that's because you got it to-go and delivered" - I literally just had a different seafood boil place through uber eats and it was a tremendous difference! Saw the IG reels on this place and thought I'd give it a try. Ordered the shrimp and crawfish with a side of Cajun corn. The driver literally went from the restaurant to my place, no other stops. Upon arrival, it smelled promising. After peeling the first crawfish I knew it was going to be a bad experience. ALL the crawfish were black and muddy inside. Both crawfish and shrimp were mush! Like they left them boiling for days mushy. Couldn't even eat them. The street daddy corn sounded delicious. Too bad they were chewy kernels and lacked flavor. Basically they overcooked the corn without seasoning then coated it with the seasoning only on the outside. I definitely won't be ordering from this place again. Don't waste your money like I did.

Labor Day BBQ was complete with kalbi, boildaddy shrimp and clams and steak, noodles.

I am not a huge cajun food person but my good friend loves cajun food so I picked up some along with 6lbs of kalbi and the entire party loved it! This seafood boil was gone before the LA kalbi! They loved the Daddy Sauce and they are from OC where they have great crustacean food and boils. My takeout had plenty of sauce that we actually even smothered over our other raw shrimp we had on skewers to grill. I will definitely be back to bring more for my friends later.

The place is good but the portions are horrible. I ordered the shrimp bowl and it came with ONE piece of sausage. The daddy sauce is tasty just be careful of the spice level

Unseasoned. They don't season the shrimp or potatoes. They expect the sauce to be all the flavor I guess. But even that was lacking.

One of the best Nashville hot chicken sandwiches I've ever had. Sometimes the line can be long and…read moreparking isn't always easy but this sandwich is worth it. It's a thick piece of chicken with crispy coating and the spice is so flavorful. The medium had me sweating! The place is more for take-out (I ate it in my car) but there is outdoor seating as well that's great for people watching

When we visited LA last year, our son recommended Howlin' Ray's and we really enjoyed the food at…read morethe Pasadena location. This time, we decided to try the Chinatown location since the traffic going toward Pasadena looked terrible. This location is pretty small and doesn't really seem set up for dining in. It feels more takeout-focused, although they do have some tables outside so we sat there. They didn't have the Mild+ spice level that the Pasadena location offers so I ordered two Mild and one Medium chicken tenders. I also got a side of collard greens after seeing several reviews recommending them. I felt like the spice level was higher at this location than at the Pasadena one. Even the Mild was definitely spicier than I remembered! It still had really good flavor, though. I also really enjoyed the collard greens and was glad I decided to try them. I'm not sure if it's just this location or if all of their locations do this now but they also gave us bottled water for free, which was nice. One thing I really liked about the Chinatown location was the parking. There's a huge parking lot across the street so finding a spot was easy. I prefer the Pasadena location for dining in but its parking lot is very small and finding a spot can be difficult. We'll definitely go back to Howlin' Ray's when we visit LA again next spring. We just haven't decided which location we'll choose next time!

The pacific oysters are a good size and I really enjoyed the yuzu-kosho ponzu sauce on it. The spicy tuna crispy rice have a good amount of spicy tuna on top & I loved how crispy they made the rice underneath. The Kodo trio comes with uni, toro, & wagyu and the Toro sampler comes with o-toro, chu-toro, akami. All of these handrolls were phenomenal & just left you wanting more. The Wagyu katsu you cook on a hot stone at the table which I liked as an interactive dish. The Wagyu cheeseburger was dripping with juice but still had those crunchy edges. The Uni pasta was beautiful & delicious. The Chimichurri prawns I could eat multiple plates of- the shell comes sliced down the middle so you just have to peel it off. For dessert we ordered the Kodo basque cheesecake & Miso chocolate torte. I love a basque cheesecake & the sesame crumble added great texture. The miso chocolate torte made me wish I ordered my own. Everything from start to finish was amazing, it's hard to pick favorites. Parking- valet $13

Crispy, juicy, and somehow not as heavy as fried chicken usually feels. It's the kind of meal that makes you think, "Maybe I should eat better," while actively eating fried chicken. The place is small, the menu is focused, and nobody is trying to reinvent food with foam or tweezers. They're just making really good chicken. It gets busy at the Row, but that's because people have figured it out. You walk in hungry and walk out wondering if it's too soon to come back tomorrow. I left full, happy, and with exactly zero regrets.
