    The clams! I ate almost the whole dish by myself hahaha
    Jamie Y.

    Food: we got the fried rice, mala spicy crab, the crawfish noodles, the sautéed cabbage, the egg yolk crab, the clams, and the passion fruit drink. Everything we got was so fresh and delicious! You know the chef really cares about the quality of food and that's so important when you're eating seafood. The mala spicy crab was the star of the show if you like spicy. The numbing spice was addictive and spicy! I really loved the egg yolk crab if you don't like spicy. My husband's favorite things were the egg yolk crab and the fried rice. He said it was on the of the best fried rices he's had. He even encouraged me to ask for the recipe from the chef. Hahaha. Needless to say we will be back for the food! Service: We got waited on by two lovely ladies. They were so sweet and super attentive. The staff helped us with some suggestions. The menu is in Chinese and I'm not the best with reading Chinese. Ambiance: The restaurant has a small amount of tables. They do a lot of take out but we dined in. The tables were clean and minimalistic. It's a casual dining restaurant where people eat family style. It's a restaurant where you eat with your hands. They provide gloves so your hands don't get spicy so keep that in mind. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, it reminded me of eating seafood in Asia without the long flight. Tldr; I would recommend this place. I will be bringing my friends here. I am a stickler for quality and I am willing to pay for freshness. I still crave the crab, clams, and fried rice. So so good. Trust me!

    The crabs at crab times were incredibly fresh and prepared for perfection. The services were excellent! It is a see food lover's paradise that will leave you craving more. 5/5 definitely

    Best seafood place in LA. Must try the spicy blue crab and egg yolk crab. Crab fried rice and crawfish noodle are must orders!

    Crawfish instant noodle
    Eris H.

    It's very authentic, I can't eat too spicy, so we ordered mild. it's just the perfect level of spiciness for me, the service is friendly and ambiance is quiet. All dishes served within 10 mins, pretty fast, the portion is large, I love this crayfish instant noodles, it's so much that two people can't finish it. Spicy crawfish is really fresh, the sweet shrimp is sweet.

    Love the marinate shrimp!

    incredible dining experience!The food was amazingly flavorful and delicious, leaving my taste buds truly satisfied. Not only that, but the portions were huge, making it a great value for money. The seafood dishes were a particular highlight, bursting with rich flavors and expertly prepared.

    Mixed seafood dry pot with crab - giant portions! Filled with rice cakes, lotus roots, veggies, and potatoes

    Freshest seafood in LA! The restaurant is rather small and unassuming but definitely a hidden gem. The staff and the owner/chef were super friendly, and the service was super fast. They helped walk our table through the menu and really worked to give us great recommendations. All the food was delicious - from the egg yolk crawfish to even the stir-fried cabbage. My favorite was definitely egg yolk crawfish. The sauce was so rich and the crawfish were extremely fresh. It's very messy to eat but they make sure to give gloves and bibs. It was an instant hit with the whole table. The mixed crab dry pot was gigantic and packed full of great seafood and was my personal favorite. For the more adventurous eaters, I also recommend the fried stinky tofu. Its not for everybody but was surprisingly good. I will definitely be going back!

    Mixed Spicy Crab

    I don't eat seafood in general but this place is actually good that I ate so much. Everything is so fresh and flavorful. My favorite is the Mixed Spicy Crab. I love the side veggies, potato and rice cakes. The Spicy Duck Blood is so soft and fresh that it's like tofu! One of the best I've ever had. The Stinky Tofu is crunchy on the outside and soft and aromatic on the inside. The Taiwanese kimchi that comes with it are spicy and compliments the Stinky Tofu. The Stir-Fried Clams is so fresh and yummy! I forgot to take a picture of the Stir-Fried Cabbage because it got devoured before I can pull out my phone: it's that good!

    So good : spicy  。love it!!!

    Good service the frog and crabs you can taste really fresh even my kids like it very much good place to eat with friends and family

    Cheryl N.

    First time trying out this seafood place with my friend and the foods were bomb!!! I have not tried seafood with such flavorful seasonings (my go-to is usually cajun). The frog legs and stinky tofu are good with rice!! The crab is very delish!!!

    每日菜品,每日新鲜!

    Absolutely one of the best places for crabs and crawfish! Their crabs are super fresh! We've been here almost a dozen time and their quality control is amazing. I had the opportunity to talk to the owner and they said all their crabs are delivered fresh daily! Service is strong and communicates well on estimated time for food to be ready. I would say their selections are worth of their pricing. Will absolutely return in the future. 最喜欢的就是他们家的蛋黄蟹, 小龙虾,辣炒蛤蜊,红糖糍粑. 基本上都很好吃. 食物都很新鲜!

    A couple weeks ago, we finally made it to dinner here, and I'm impressed…read more We started with apps: fried oysters (because I always like), and the coconut snails. Let me say the snails were a highlight. Surprisingly tender and flavorful. Sometimes, snails can have a livery / dirt / bitter flavor, but not these. And we were lucky rice wasn't on the table, because we would have stuffed ourselves eating rice with that wonderful sauce. Next comes the boil itself. My wife insisted on "no-spice" (ugh). But I got a side of the house sauce with med-spice. Let me tell you. That sauce. Again, good thing no rice on the table, because I'm already drowning everything in that sauce. Esp the garlic bread. The seafood was fine. You're not at the pier / Hawaiian beach / HK wet market fresh off the boat & straight into your mouth scenario. But fine. We're planning to be there again tomorrow. BTW, that boy scout selling popcorn a few years ago? He made it. He's now an Eagle Scout. Thanks again for the icy refreshing drinks on a hot day.

The squeeze of lime was perfect to cut through the richness of the sauce and beef and I will come back just for this dish for sure. 10/10 Garlic string beans: cooked nicely and garlicky and was very satisfying. That said I think there could have been some extra savory notes to make it better, thaif said still very enjoyable. 8/10 Basil fried fish: spicy and sauced up fried fish with Thai Basil and jalapeños. This dish had a ton of fish and still had some crunch to it even though it was covered in that simple delicious sauce. 8.5/10 Seafood hong kong chow fun with gravy: healthy portion of sauced up noodles with a bunch of shrimp, imitation crab, and squid. Overall it was enjoyable but could have used some more imparted flavor. I am interested to come back and try the dry version or possibly the fried noodle version of the dish as opposed to the gravy version. In short, the food was delicious overall and would be happy to come back and try more things on the menu. Everyone else in the restaurant ordered the big giant lobsters and they looked amazing. I will definitely come back to try it out as well as other items.
