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!

dry pot crab
Jennie X.

Ordered the dry pot crab from here for the first time for take out. The crab was so delicious and spicy, seriously, I'm craving it as I type this The service was quick and friendly. The decor inside is very aesthetic too, I highly recommend eating here!

Crawfish fried egg ramen
Jessie C.

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 Spicy Crab
Raymond T.

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!

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!

So good : spicy  。love it!!!
Jie W.

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!
Edward W.

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!

Raw marinated shrimp
Zoe S.

This our favorite restaurant for Chinese spicy crab and raw marinated seafood . Their seafood are always live , fresh and of high quality. The price is not low, but you get what you pay for. Hands down the best Chinese spicy and raw seafood.

clam

Great service, delicious spicy crab. Their crayfish noodles have limited availability. If you are lucky, make sure to give it a try!

What a unique experience!…read more Grilling, bbq-ing, etc is a norm but steaming your food on the table? Now that's something else! I really enjoyed the dinner I had, they offer lots of options, from freshly made buns, dumplings to fresh seafood. The menu is pretty extensive and they also offer cooked dishes from the kitchen. The staff are very helpful and friendly. They made sure we get the best experience as it was our first time dining at this place. We had the big eye fish as they called it and they steamed it at the other empty table because our buns and dumplings were steaming at the same time to save time. They finish the fish at the kitchen with the hot oil and sauce. We also had the pork and shrimp buns, and beef dumplings. They were delicious! You can make your sauce at the station too and they provide good options. We also got the baby oysters appetizer that was soaking in some sort of light soy sauce marinade. Also got the soft shell crab and you get 3 whole crabs for $10! It was so worth it! The whole restaurant looked clean and inviting. The booths were spacious. I would definitely come back here and try other dishes!

Came to YOUPENG Seafood recently and overall had a really enjoyable experience…read more The crab was fresh and beautifully presented. The meat was sweet and tender, and the sauce had a nice balance of savory flavor without overpowering the natural seafood taste. You can tell the quality of the seafood is solid. The sea urchin egg custard was super smooth and silky. The uni added a rich, slightly briny depth that paired really well with the delicate steamed egg. Definitely a standout if you like uni. Each dishes had its own highlight. Ambiance is modern and clean, giving a slightly upscale seafood house vibe. Service was decent and the food came out nicely presented. Prices are on the higher side, but for fresh seafood and quality ingredients, it feels reasonable for a special meal. Would come back again to try more of their live seafood options.
