The food was good. But the service is terrible. We made a reservation on opentable, but when we arrived the host clearly wasn't aware of the reservation. We managed to be seated in a high table area where we had to share the table with another group. It was hard for us to get our waitress' attention. The food was very slow. It took about an hour for the main course. When we finally had all our main courses, the first main course that was served was already cold. We asked the waitress to heat it, and when it came back the uni in the truffle uni pasta was taken away. We had to get our waitress and ask for the uni again. That being said, I would have given this restaurant a zero star if the food were mediocre. But the food was actually pretty good. So what can I say. read more

Our group of six film producers including a couple from Australia decided we'd attempt to eat the menu by trying many small plates and share. Boy what an adventure. Every taste different and delicious. Some are rather spicey and not for those down under we learned, bur for this LA boy I love the heat in some of the dishes. We tried the poke,clam chowder, fries( with a few unusual dips including Allen.s wing sauce- delightful bit of heat and soy sauce..used generally on their wings sauce try it) The carpaccio,scallops and yellow tail all were perfect. Every thing is fresh here, so great for clean eaters and wonderful for pescatarians. Not a place for vegans as few solely plant based dishes...valet parking..street parking very difficult on this stretch of thirds street. Place was filling up around when we left. Make reservations. Ill be back read more

I ordered over the phone and picked up my order. I got the Hokkaido scallop carpaccio, seafood squid ink pasta, and truffle uni pasta. The scallops were fresh and a perfect light and refreshing appetizer. The seafood pasta was good but the highlight was definitely the uni pasta. Both pastas were creamy and decadent. Because truffle is a pretty strong flavor, it seemed to overpower and cover any uni taste, but still was delicious! read more

COD Restaurant - Truffle Uni Pasta, seafood squid ink pasta, & Hokkaido Scallop Carpaccio - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Eh we had a reservation, but seemed like the staff couldn't be bothered with us. We were told to wait at the bar (rather quick & dismissively) which was cramped, didn't have enough chairs, weren't acknowledged, & didn't have a time estimate of when we'd be seated. We were never asked of a name or a time of our reservation, after waiting for 15 minutes, we just left to Bestia instead which was far better read more

There weren't too many restaurants open on Christmas so I did a search for restaurants open on Christmas in our neighborhood and ended up here. I'm glad we did because everything we ate was fresh and delicious! I would order everything I ordered again. See pics below. Even the cocktails were creative and delicious. It's been mentioned many times already but order the truffle uni pasta! So decadent and creamy! The only drawback is the price. I think it's a bit overpriced and costs more than other uni pastas I have tried. They have an excellent selection of fresh oysters but wish we can order a variety. It's either half a dozen or a dozen of a particular kind of oyster. The appetizers are a small portion so order a couple of them. The service was attentive. We even saw a big Asian celebrity here! (I still get starstruck even though I grew up here). Parking is not great. I don't think they have a parking lot. There's a valet guy in front and 3rd street is usually busy. We walked here since it's not too far. The atmosphere is dimly lit and trendy so good for a date night or a small group of friends. We will definitely be back. read more

No wasabi and ginger until we asked 20 minutes into dinner. Still no waters as im typing this message. We have beer and wine but water is so essential for dinner. They said they have no gluten free options. Advertise as open till 11 but offered last call at 9:40 pm. Overall SHIT hole. Unmotivated staff with no passion for the restaurant And zero care for wellbeing of customers. Slack of a sushi restaurant. Better luck next time. Thanks for reading. Don't come here. read more

Food: My friend recommended to try this place as she had a good experience here during Dine LA previously. She has an appetite for food and I definitely trust her judgment when it comes to eating good food. All the dishes we ordered were amazing from start to finish. We started off with hamachi ceviche which was light and fresh. Afterwards, came the octopus which was grilled to perfection and had a nice charred smokey taste to it. The octopus is not on the menu but they do offer it if you just ask. The Chilean seabass was moist and flavorful. The fish was just right and not over cooked. My top 2 favorite dishes were the truffle uni pasta and the black pepper beef mignon. The uni pasta was simply amazing. It's a savory and creamy dish that simply cannot be overlooked. It has a very rich flavor to it that can easily fill you up. The black pepper beef mignon was tender and juicy. As you bite into the meat you can taste the warm black pepper sauce. The dish is nicely paired with steamed rice so that you can mix the black pepper sauce with the rice. Lastly, the cocktail drinks were refreshing as well. Service: The service was a tad bit slow with some of the dishes coming sooner than others. The server whom I believe was also the owner acknowledged that certain dishes were on the way. However, he did check up on us, asked how the food was, and refilled our water glasses. I would almost dock a star due to the service because it was not stellar but the food compensated for it. I also understand that it is a tough time for certain businesses and restaurants to be operating with minimum resources/staff during covid just to stay afloat. Ambience: COD is situated on a busy street of Los Angeles just down the street from the Beverly Center. Lots of pedestrians and people watching. There are about 6 to 7 tables covered with white linen outside in front of the restaurant where you can enjoy outdoor dining. I hope to return to this restaurant and enjoy indoor dining when it is safe to do so. My friend told me they have a second level where there is an outdoor patio which I believe is currently not in use. I look forward to visiting COD in the future. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed the truffle uni pasta ($33) and the hamachi ceviche (~$15). The albacore sashimi (~$15) was also good but nothing special. We finished off our meal with the chocolate lava cake which was yummy and pretty standard ($9). Service was great, never had to ask for a refill of water or soda as or server was very attentive. Parking valet is $10 or street parking (very limited). read more

Love the food, prices are a bit steep but the food quality is great. Definitely recommend!

COD: Catch of the Day Really, that's what it stands for. This new addition to the Beverly Grove area is now one of my favorite restaurants in LA all because of their uni truffle pasta. Seriously, one of the best things I have ever tasted and I am drooling just thinking about it. The seafood here is FRESH and ABUNDANT. They have an extensive selection of oysters and fresh raw fish. I would highly recommend coming for happy hour from 5-7 on weekdays. They have an extensive selection of apps and reduced prices and great deals on wine, beer and well drinks. The truffle sliders are AMAZING--so tender and full of flavor. The truffle fries are probably the best value as the portion is HUGE. Every single sashimi dish I tried was melt in your mouth fresh. My favorite was the scallop. Now the main attraction is the truffle uni pasta. WOWOWOWOW. The noodles are perfectly al dente and swimming in the most decadent truffle cream sauce and topped with fresh shaved truffle. I like to mash the uni up and mix it into the pasta so I get that briny umami taste in every bite. I love that their truffle products incorporate REAL truffle, not just oil. Our waitress informed me that they have a truffle guy who comes with a briefcase of goods every week much in the manner of a drug dealer. The flavor of real truffle is unbeatable and is worth the extra dollars. Parking in this area is a doozy so I would recommend saving yourself the headache and just valeting. read more

Had reservations. Arrived on time. Place was not packed nor was there a line and tables where open. The servers saw me standing there quietly waiting. My date showed up. We both waited. Not one person spoke to us for over ten minutes. We left and went to no. 10 next door and had a wonderful dinner. Ive never even had a cat ignore me that overtly. Will never go again. read more

6 years ago I would have given this place 4-5 stars. Unfortunately it has gone down the tubes. It started with stressed out staff, then watery cocktails and we topped it off with a poor quality meal. Did they change owners? Wtf happened COD? Yikes. read more

Everything was going great till I ingested the contents you see in the pictures. They were various kinds of rocks and horrible black sludge. And yes they were really rocks. I was amazed at how many rocks and sludge could be inside of a clam. It's not like the clam was closed tight so there's no reason for this to have escaped the chef. I remember vividly when the soup, clam chowder arrived at my table and with my spoon I felt what I thought were rocks in the soup which turned out to be clams with the shells. My first thought was chef Ramsey and the show Kitchen Nightmares where he goes into a restaurant that is failing and the chef brings out his 3 to 5 or more top dishes and immediately Ramsey is grossed out. Why would you put clams with the shells in a soup!! Just imagine if a small child would've inhaled these rocks and had an airway emergency. I give the overly concerned waitress who took my number and was going to Fwd It to management, who incidentally never called. 3 stars and I give the chef 1 star for this amazing blunder that he probably hasn't corrected and still thinks is a good idea. I couldn't even finish my meal. I went home and threw up twice and I have made an appointment with my dentist. Be careful at this establishment because they're clearly not paying attention in the kitchen. read more

Me and my wife used to go to this restaurant and always enjoyed a food and service. Today is Valentine's Day. I took my wife there for a dinner and guess what happened. We came there in a great mood expecting a great dinner and a lovely time together... But today they brought us a HOLIDAY's menu which was a $70 per person with a very limited dishes. I had no idea that is gonna be something like that. Otherwise I would choose another place. But we decided to stay there because usually food is really good at this place. But not today! The dishes we chose from that limited menu was twice smaller then usual and disgusting!!! I still can't believe that they did that to people who love their place. Thanks for management for ruining our Valentine's Day! We will never ever get back to your restaurant again! Ad I'm sure that I'm not only one who thinks like that cause I saw faces of the people who had the same filings as I'm. Good buy Cod!!! read more

So I actually ended up at COD by accident tonight - my reservation at Catch LA got cancelled since we were late, but T GOD because COD is the bomb.com!!! Like, I'm not even kidding or exaggerating when I say this, but my meal at COD has got to be one of my favorite meals I've ever had! Every single dish was perfect. But if I had to pick favorites, dishes that I would get every single time, it would have to be the oysters and the truffle uni pasta. If you go during happy hour (5-7 pm), a dozen oysters are only $18!! #dealzzz I have nothing but good things to say about COD. When we went, it was almost 7 pm on a Friday night, but the restaurant was still relatively quiet. If you're looking for a more cozy/private dining experience, definitely opt for the second floor dining instead of the first floor, where it can get a bit loud. COD deserves all the stars, literally the tastiest dining experience I've had in a while. Definitely memorable for my 21st birthday celebration! read more

COD was a pleasant surprise. We needed to find a last minute place to eat in the area and decided to make a reservation at COD. When we walked in we noticed the darker color scheme and kind of nice but nothing that wowed us. However we were definitely wowed by the food. We ordered spicy tuna crispy rice and fries to share. The spicy tuna crispy rice was tasty without being overly heavy. The sauce that came with it was delicious. The fries were perfectly crispy with a truffle aioli that I could not stop eating. I had the cucumber salad which had the soy sauce flare throughout but was good. The sushi rolls tasted fresh and I thoroughly enjoyed both. The California roll was $8 which when I see a cali roll over $6 I'm typically skeptical but it was worth it and very big pieces. My friends got the siu mai dumplings which were also large and two different rice dishes and sushi rolls (spicy tuna hand roll, green dragon roll). My only complaint was that everything came on different plates and we did not have enough room! We also ordered drinks. I had the lychee martini and it was sweet and strong without tasting too strong. Overall the presentations were pleasing, the staff were friendly, every dish we ordered we were impressed with, and the place was very clean. I would definitely come again if I wanted a good tasting meal read more

Glorified bar food. An overpriced disappointment in every sense of the word. Inattentive service, sloppy presentation, overpriced dishes, and incongruent flavors. EVERYTHING WAS UNDERSALTED AND FLAVORLESS. The crab toast was messy, dry and loaded with wilted arugula. It was terrible. They forgot the avocado, which I only noticed at the end. Grilled octopus was served in a soup with canned kidney beans. Very confusing. The uni pasta was decent, but $33, hence the 2 stars. It was edible, but not great. I would never go back. read more

COD was an incredible experience. After a long day at universal studios, we wanted a nice dinner to wind down with. We got to COD at 5pm right when they opened. They have a solid happy hour menu from 5-7pm with discounted appetizers, cocktails and beers. We had quite a spread for dinner: Scallop Carpaccio - $10 happy hour Delicious and refreshing, 5 scallop slices dressed in a refreshing tart yuzu sauce. Half Dozen Oysters - $9 happy hour We ended up forgoing their cocktail sauce and pouring the yuzu sauce from the scallops onto our Oysters. Delicious!! Crab Avocado Toast So so good. Fresh crab meat topped with grapefruit and pickled onion that gave a really great bite to the toast. Grilled Local Seabream $40 Their seafood list was extensive and you could choose what protein you want grilled or hakaissan style (flash fried with onions and peppers on top). Ryan decided on grilled seabream they offered to de-bone the fish for him when it came to the table but he's been to enough Chinese family dinners with me to pick at a fish carcass the fish was fresh and well-seasoned. Uni Truffle Pasta $30 This has to be one of the best pastas I've ever had in my entire life. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the sauce....was so incredibly.... Creamy and umptious. Uuuuugh. So good. And then spoon a little uni on top of each bite giiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrl it was heaven. The sauce, pasta and uni perfectly blend to create an amazing bite. I was so sad when I was done. I will definitely want to come back for this pasta. Service was fantastic no matter how busy it got and the ambience was very nice. I'm so glad we stopped by!! read more

Best place ever! We go to this place almost every weekend, food is good, amazing and very friendly staff. Always accommodating !

Worst Valentine's day dinner ever. If you like to be ignored, this is the place for you! 10 minutes standing at host stand, 20 minutes to get waters, never got a second set of utensils, apps came out before drinks (they forgot we ordered them). Salmon was overcooked. Took me asking 3 people and going up to the bar for me to get lemons and hot sauce for the oysters. The best part was chatting with nearby tables about how awful the service was. One of them just got up and left because not one worker spoke to them for the 30 minutes after they sat down. read more

Came here for my birthday dinner two days ago and loved it! The ambiance here is great--feels like I'm at the pier and with the dim lights it's super romantic (great date spot). They have some raw seafood displayed in the kitchen and I thought that makes this place look super high-class and fancy. Between two of us we shared the: SPICY TUNA CRISPY RICE, SALMON WITH YUZU AND SOY, GRILLED OCTOBER, UNI TRUFFLE PASTA, and CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE. We both prefer trying more items which is why we got more appetizers rather than main dishes. We were happy with all the dishes. We were extremely impressed with the SALMON CARPACCIO and UNI TRUFFLE PASTA--these two dishes are a must try! Although I felt that the salmon had too much sesame oil which completely overpowered the taste of the fish so I had them take it back to the kitchen. The service here is alright...the servers are nice but very careless. My friend specifically told them it was my birthday and to prepare sprinklers for the dessert to surprise me 3 times (when she called to make the reservation, the day of the dinner, when she got to the restaurant), and they STILL forgot. It's odd because usually you have ONE server per area and so the server is familiar with the customers' requests and orders but they have 3 interchanging, so sometimes the communication between them isn't so good. But this isn't a big deal, we just laughed it off. The parking situation here is disgusting lol--I just valeted for $10. read more

We made a reservation at 7:45 and were seated promptly. The restaurant was quiet but quickly became busy. We had the dine out LA special for $39 per person. We had the scallop carpaccio, seared octopus, truffle uni pasta, wagyu steak, and finished with the lava cake and raspberry sorbet. Overall, the food is excellent. The scallop carpaccio had a subtle yet fresh taste with a bit of a spicy kick. The octopus was nicely cooked, sitting on a bed of beans. The tables favourite was the truffle uni pasta - creamy, full of flavours, and pasta was al dente. The wagyu steak was surprisingly large, roughly a 8oz cut. It was 'American wagyu' but was still tender and cooked how we asked. The service could be better as it seemed our waitress was talking to friends most of the time. We had to ask the host for our waitress a few times. Perhaps a miscommunication with the kitchen or she forgot to put in a order, but we also failed to get our order of oysters. read more

Amazing and quality restaurant! I've been ordering a lot of food to go since the pandemic and even though things are finally opening back up, ordering to go is still so much more convenient! I definitely plan on dining in in the future because the restaurant is decorated so nicely! I usually get their chicken lo mein, chicken fried rice and orange chicken. The wait is pretty quick usually is ready within 15-20mins. It's so good I'll atleast get it once a week lol The food is always hot even when I get home and it tastes super fresh. The serving size is definitely large enough to share with 1-2 other people too! read more

COD Restaurant - Garlic Noodles - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

yassss so good! Food, service, decor all receive 5 stars from me. We started off with some wine and ordered the following: Truffle green beans: YUMMM. what a burst of flavor into each bite. You can really taste the truffle in scent and taste. a little too strong for my bf but i really liked it hehe. garlic noodles: reminds me of the garlic noodles they serve at EMC in korea town. Noodles were cooked perfectly and the perfect amount of garlic. You can really smell it when you step into the restaurant. a must order! We also got the silver fish which was really moist and not dried out. Our service de-boned the fish for us which is always a PLUS. It was seasoned beautifully and the portion was huge. Also got some kusshi oysters which are my favvvv. really fresh stuff. I will be back. read more

Me and my girlfriend decided to try this restraunt since they offered a nice variety of appetizers and drinks for Happy Hour, unfortunately due to no parking- we had to valet, arrival time: 6:45pm, got seated at 6:47pm and was very excited that we made it just in time for happy happy hour. The Waitress sat us down and stated that they weren't able to honor happy hour. So beware: Last call for happy hour is at 6:45pm ... 15 mins prior to what was advertised. Manager advised us that they had already received so many complaints regarding the 15 mins difference of NO HAPPY HOUR, more like 15 mins of frustration. System is locked and changed at 6:45pm and will not be able to revise price difference to accommodate us. It's not about the price at end of the day, it's the principle. Management: please fix this, this is false advertisement. change the sign to 5:00pm-6:45pm so you are able to satisfy customers and have the customer retention you guys deserve. Although this was a frustrating first experience at COD, the food and service from our waitress was superb! read more

Came for dineLA , we got the scallop carpaccio and grilled octopus. For main entree we got the popular uni pasta with truffle. The uni From the uni pasta was great but the pasta was way undercooked. The spicy tuna crispy rice was pretty average and lacks flavor, the grilled octopus was above average and tender but not the best I have had. The desserts were both good and not too sweet l. If you come during happy hour the oysters are $1.5 each. Parking either street parking or valet . read more

I come here very often and the food is so delicious BUT THE SERVICE IS CONSISTENTLY BAD. I love the food here and the cocktails and not to mention it's a walk away from my residence. To the waitress - I don't know her name but she is middle aged, dark brown hair.. she is always there, she knows most of the patrons, even sits down with them sometimes; her service is horrible, ALWAYS. I take cod to go and I dine in when I want to hAve a cocktail. The food is delicious but the service is slow. They don't have enough wait staff. There's 2 ladies running the dining room, outside dining AND BAR. There's valet, not much off street parking. read more

My husband and friend chose COD as the restaurant for my birthday dinner this past weekend. it definitely DID NOT disappoint!! Reservations were easy to make and they accommodate large groups of people. They have space upstairs, including outside patio space and a bar. We had roughly 20 people and there was more than enough space. Staff was friendly and attentive. A friend of mine who has dined here before just ordered for us. She ordered several dishes and 2-3 of each dish so that everyone would be able to try some (family style-ish). Out of the dishes she ordered, everything was amazingly delicious but my favorite of the night were the green beans and uni pasta. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed everything but when I come here again, I'm ordering the green beans and uni pasta (if you don't care for Truffle, you should not get these items). I also brought my 2 year old daughter who pretty much finished an entire plate of uni pasta and a side clam chowder by herself. What we ordered: - Fresh Uni - Crab Toast - Lobster Roll - Halibut Carpaccio - Clam Chowder (multiple orders) - Crab Salad (multiple orders) - Truffled Green Beans (multiple orders) - House Fries - Crispy Pork Belly (multiple orders) - Jidori Chicken - Braised Beef Cheeks (multiple orders) - Garlic Noodles (multiple orders) - Sausage Fried Rice (multiple orders) - Truffle Uni Pasta (multiple orders) All of us left happy and full. Total came out to over $900. read more

I've come here many times for dinner and happy hour. Dinner can definitely get pricey as it all adds up, so I would recommend coming here for happy hour if you don't want to spend too much since they have quite a big menu for happy hour. The seafood here is very fresh! The oysters and uni pasta were delicious. I love the spicy tuna cripsy rice, garlic noodles, and surprisingly the chicken wings are really good! Those are my go-to items for happy hour. They also have a great selection of happy hour drinks! Definitely worth giving this place a try. The service is great and the interior decor and ambiance are amazing. read more

This place is hands down my favorite spot I found it just looking for something open an they had a open reservation, the food was great , fresh and definitely up to standards I'm huge on seafood an sushi and this place 100% gave me satisfaction when I left not to mention the manager and our waitress she served us right upfront we were one of the first tables as you walk up they were above and beyond when it came to good service. I been here 3x in last 3 months and it's worth every penny if you make reservations an theres still a wait do NOT take it out on the employees they work there butts off serving us to ensure we are having a great dine in experience they can't tell people to get up it's time to go so be patient these ladies hustle and deserve all the respect they can and let me tell you it's worth the wait I'll be back in a few weeks I posted some pictures from there and as you can see there food is definition of DELICIOUS read more

If I based my review on the appetizers and drinks, I would give it four stars. We had tasty, well-balanced cocktails, followed by half a dozen Kumamoto oysters and halibut carpaccio. We were happy. We also had amazing clam chowder. We should've stopped there. Instead, we ordered off the special menu a whole Sea Bream. Our waiter was trying to push the steamed fish but we chose grilled. The fish it's self was tasty and meaty and cooked to perfection. The thing that brought everything down was that clearly the kitchen staff did not de-scale the fish, so nearly every bite had scales in it. I can honestly say I've never had that experience at any restaurant that serves fish. Although it's not absolutely necessary to de-scale a fish, it is if you want to have the skin be eaten. This was served with a crispy skin and honestly I would never come back here. I have called the restaurant twice, but there was no answering machine and no working email address on the receipt or website either. read more

Don't go here if you're black and care about being treated fairly. Had reservations for me and my wife but was told the tables that were available wasn't for two and was made to sit at the high tops at the bar. 30 minutes later the table I asked for in the corner was giving to an Asian couple. When I complained the hostess pretty much ignored me. Even the bartender and other staff was concerned about why I was seated at the bar with tables available upstairs also.

Great experience! Food 10/10 Uni: they definitely picked the best uni and prepared it fresh. It's very delicious and every slice was scooped perfectly Crab toast: mediocre not bad not great, met expectation Uni and black truffle pasta: !! MUST ORDER the richness of uni was well enhanced by black truffle. Daily special: miso marinated seabass, very light but noticeable flavor. Seabass was served on top of salted spinach. Dessert+coffee: have to admitted this is the first seafood place does their dessert right. The Yuzu creme brûlée was amazing!!! Service 10/10 Ambience 8/10 sleek and comfortable Parking.

Highlights: The sea urchin pasta is creamy and it won't disappoint any sea urchin lovers. It's so delicious that I crave for it from time to time. The Catch Of the Day (this is why the restaurant is called COD) specials are always a great option despite the higher price tag (some of them). The desserts (lava cake and purple yam) were decent, but it wasn't spectacular. The lava cake might be a better choice if you ask for my suggestion. The COFFEE is decent. Better than many upscale restaurant. read more
