From other reviews, the restaurant has parking in the back. * Meal: if you like seafood and KBBQ, look no further! 5 stars. * Service: friendly and pleasant. 4 stars. This restaurant came up on my IG feeds... looks awesome... we were not disappointed! The restaurant does not take reservations online. We came on a weeknight, found a street parking right infront and got seated right away (scored!) They have 4 tower sets: crew set ($109) serving 1-2 persons, chief set ($159.99) serving 3-4, master ($219.99) serving 4-5, captain ($299) serving 5-6. They also have a la carte, hot pot, etc. We had crew set which includes 1.4 lbs Manila clams, 2 whole shell oyster, large clams, shrimps, mussles, scallops, octopus, potatoes, served with korean ceviche, steam egg, pancake, spicy rice cakes, korean noodle soups. There are 3 different dipping sauces which are delicious. It is a lot of food. You definitely get your money worth here. The staff is friendly and attentive. They cooked the seafood at the table. The air ventilator is pretty good but I probably won't wear my must dry-clean clothes to dine here. Overall, Burnin' Shell did live up to its hype!

The staff are very attentive and kind, and I can confirm that their food is fresh and delicious. I can't wait to come back and try that Mac and cheese.

Loved their fish tacos too - they have like 4 different flavors going on in them - so good.

Everything was extremely fresh--honestly felt like eating straight out of the ocean. The Kumamoto oysters with horseradish stood out the most for me--smooth, buttery, and just clean. Every oyster was high quality, no misses. The Rockefeller oysters were rich and well done, a solid addition to the whole experience. What really made the night, though, was the service. Cheam took care of me from start to finish and absolutely nailed it. He helped me choose the oysters, recommended the perfect wine to go with them, and his timing was spot on the entire time. On top of that, I came in wanting to watch the NBA playoff game, and without me even asking, he suggested moving me to a better spot at the bar where I had a clear view. That kind of awareness and attention to detail stands out. Cheam's service, recommendations, personality, and overall style were a 9.9 out of 10--only because I don't believe anything is perfect. But he's as close as it gets. Great food is expected at a place like this, but service like that is what brings you back. I'll definitely be returning.

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.

We got some spring rolls from the Thai place as an appetizer lol and stayed in line maybe 20 min? Line wrapped around the outside area to the side of the building. Pretty quick considering how many people were there. For food: everything was really good! I kinda wish we ordered more of the different tacos instead of so much raw stuff (we got 2 ceviches + 2 tostadas). The raw items tasted pretty similar to each other. Whereas the fish taco was a lot cheaper ($8) but was still bomb and had a different taste. Everything was good! Just wish we ordered more variety lol anyways definitely recommend stopping by

If you're near East Hollywood and craving seafood/oysters, look no further than Found Oyster…read more Especially during happy hour which I believe is 4-6pm during the week. $10 dirty martinis, they are small but mighty so be careful. As for the food let's get into it: - Smoked Trout Dip (9/10) surprisingly one of our favorite dishes, packed a lot of flavor and paired perfect with the crackers. - Sicilian Crudo (10/10) I've had this at other places, but found oyster does it right. Will be adding caviar next time. - Oysters (8/10) prices were reasonable and the oysters themselves were delicious. Wish they had Kumamoto oysters but their selection was more local. - Clam Chowder (7/10) Wasn't terrible, but I prefer a more thicker chowder. Still, at $9 a cup I would give it another try. Overall a great experience. The service was really good especially at the bar. Would I go again? Absolutely!

I'd long wanted to try Found Oyster as one of my friends recommended it several years ago and said…read morehow good it was. Back then, they didn't take reservations, but I noticed recently that they started accepting reservations via Resy, so I made a reservation and my husband and I came here in March. Found Oyster is located in East Hollywood, on the same street where Saffy's is. It can be a bit hard to find street parking nearby because of neighborhood rules, but we managed to find a spot after circling a bit. The restaurant is very small, but it has both indoor and outdoor seating. I think the size of it adds to the charm. It also has a nautical theme inside and a New England feel about the place. The seating options inside are either at the bar, or tiny high-top tables. For appetizers, we shared the peel and eat prawns, half a dozen oysters and the sicilian crudo. Everything was good, but the servings were smaller than I expected. I also think that the peel and eat prawns would have been pretty mediocre without the special sauce. For mains, my husband got the lobster roll, while I had the mussels. His lobster roll was good, but in my experience it's hard to go wrong with buttered lobster on bread served with fries. My mussels were fresh and tasty. They were good, but nothing to write home about. Service was friendly and efficient.

From the moment we walked in, the staff went above and beyond. What stood out immediately was how attentive they were to my children. Before anything else, they made sure my daughter had a cup so she could grab a drink, which may seem small, but meant a lot in that moment. It's rare to find places that genuinely prioritize kids like that. Then it got even better--when our food arrived, the staff surprised my children with a small Easter gift. Such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture! You can tell this isn't just about serving food; it's about creating a warm, family-friendly experience. The team was incredibly friendly the entire time, and their kindness didn't go unnoticed. As a parent, I truly appreciate restaurants that go out of their way to make kids feel comfortable and included--and this place absolutely delivered. Great service, thoughtful touches, and a welcoming environment. We'll definitely be back!

We forgot how difficult it can be to find parking in LA, but we managed to find one on the side of the road, just to find out... this restaurant has their own parking lot. Hehe. Went around 5pm and saw we were the first ones seated while a handful of people came and gone for to go orders. I immediately ordered the soy marinated crab and live uni. There is a combo order of both, but it includes the American marinated crab and an extra small live uni. With their recommendation, we opted for the Korean marinated crab and small uni to share with 2 adults and one kid. When the food came out, they gave us another live uni on the house and I was so happy because I didn't want to share mine! The food was so homey and delicious. The seafood pajeon was so loaded with all the seafood bits and the soy bean soup was the perfect palette cleanser. Service was great and they were so helpful to answer any questions we had. They gave us extra water for our little one and refilled our tea when it was a fourth full. They were so tentative and asked how we liked the food. We loved it. We also enjoyed the banchan!

Definitely recommend this place!…read more Service was very warm and welcoming, had such a pleasant dinner. We got the set menu A Combo and the portion was very generous. The marinated crab was very delicious, and spicy crab was even better, but the marinated crab is definitely higher quality, so if you want to get the best of both worlds order both or get the combo. When we finished ordering, appetizers came immediately and basically covered the whole table, and as a Korean restaurant with such warm hospitality I assume you can get more side dishes if you want, but we didn't want to waste any food. All dishes tasted great. The uni wasn't very surprising but it's still good, so if you are doing à la carte you can skip it. All in all a 5+ for the restaurant, also the restroom seems pretty clean so it's another plus for this smallish restaurant.

Eddie is so experienced and knows the menu, food prep, galley and the best customer service techniques. There's NO chance that these guys let you go home dissatisfied. The items my family most often orders includes: salmon sandwich with fries and Cole slaw, a dozen chicken won tons, a poke bowl with the hamachi (yellow tail) and spicy tuna, a fried shrimp taco, the smoked salmon pasta, mango salsa, crab cakes, crunch fish, CA & spicy tuna rolls, oysters on a half shell, veggies and sometimes their tempura. Needless to say, when we come here as a family, we feast. Zoila was another employee we loved seeing here but more recently we learned that she retired. How exciting for her!! The tables are always clean and tidy. Their trash cans are being emptied often. Folks are typically very nice about sharing chairs or squeezing by with a high chair.

French fries, were a must crispy tasty fries did not disappoint. Spanish octopus, cooked to perfection- lots of interesting flavors and textures we enjoyed. Lastly we shared the tacos (1 cod 1 shrimp), tasty fat tacos. Accompanied with fresh chips and the guac and salsa that was tasty. What really set it for us, was while we were wrapping up the meal.
