Updated review... it's been a while since we came here the first time. Friends were having a…read morebirthday so we had to give it another try. Got here around 5:30 pm on a Friday. We lucked out and got the last booth before the dinner rush. The place looked exactly like it did last time we came. Staff was still friendly. They don't accept cash, only cards/tap to pay. Their menu looked different. Wish I had taken a photo. You have an option to build your own boil by choosing your protein, sauce, spice level and add in's. They still don't allow you to mix garlic butter and lemon pepper sauces. You're forced to get the Kickin mix which includes Cajun even if you're not a fan of that flavor. They also have a kids menu with 2 choices, appetizers and family combos. Always intimidating ordering from a menu that doesn't disclose the pricing up front. That's the weirdest thing. Even restaurants in Beverly Hills have pricing on their menus. We got the family feast which feeds up to 4 people and had a combo of crab, mussels, shrimp, sausage, rice, potato and corn which was about $107. (Side note, they charge 50 cents for a pair of gloves and they do not provide you with a little towelette to wipe before or after your meal) This I have to admit was a pretty good deal considering it's a good amount of seafood. They serve it to you in a large metal bowl. We asked for mild since we had toddlers, but because of the Cajun in the sauce (that they force you to get if you want garlic butter and lemon pepper flavor) it was more of a medium, and the kids could not tolerate the heat. Which wasn't a bad thing since that meant more for us grown ups. Ordered them a side of truffle fries which was not too bad actually. We also ordered some of their specialty drinks which come in huge cups. We tried asking for two small empty cups so the kids could share our drinks, but they refused to provide that to us. According to the waiter, it's the restaurant policy that they can only provide water cups, but we have to figure out what to do with the water inside. (Insert face palm emoji) Also they do not provide buckets for your shells so we weren't sure what to do with all that water but drink it. The cups are thin paper cups to pair perfectly with those gross paper straws. By the time we finished the water the cups were pretty mushy already. Needless to say we couldn't finish all our food so we asked for it to go, reluctantly as we hoped they weren't going to try and charge us for those to go bags as well. Pro's: they brought the food out quickly. The food tasted freshly cooked. Con's: don't know where to begin. Parking lot sucks since it's shared with multiple other businesses. There is no place for you to sit and wait outside the restaurant. You'll need to stand outside by the parking lot and pray you don't get side swiped by some crazy driver. Menu has hidden pricing. They charge 50 cents for gloves and do not provide wipes for after your meal. They don't provide a bucket/container to place your seafood shells so it gets mixed in with your other food on the table. Can't even ask for an empty cup for kids. They don't let you customize your sauces your way. Sad to say after all this time my review for this place is still a solid 2 stars.

Appetizers (plural), a main course, and even a dessert were all excellently prepared and served, from start to finish.

This review is for their new happy hour only…read more Arrived right after they opened and grabbed a high top table in the service area, as the bar was reserved and it was way too hot to sit on the patio (bar, lounge, and patio only for hh). We hadn't been there since they built the bar and it looks quite nice, though cramped. Noor was our very friendly server who made sure we had everything we needed. Throughout our time we had: Estrella Lager ($8) refreshing, as always Old Fashioned ($12) good, though Jim G said it tasted like it was batched House red (Chianti $12) good 2 Giant Prawns ($7 per prawn) great flavor (shell on, btw) and served on some bread with a tasty garlicky sauce. Pricey, but tasty. Lamb Ribs ($13 for two ribs). Tasty and tender. Almost too sweet, but good. Burger and fries ($19 limited to the first five orders). Both were good. We had medium rare and I would recommend medium rare plus. Why only 4 stars? It's still pricey, even though it's happy hour. The deals are good, relative to the normal price, but their prices are on the high side and the seating area is pretty cramped. Hh outside when it's not blazing might be the way to go.

My first time trying Indonesian food, and LaaLaaPan made it such a memorable experience. We ordered…read morethe Nasi Tumpeng Mini (18), grilled fish, and Martabak Manis for dessert, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. The people who I assume own the restaurant, working as both the waiters and chefs, were incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they serve. Since we were completely new to Indonesian cuisine, they patiently answered our questions and gave us great recommendations, which made the experience even better. This is exactly the kind of small business you want to support. The flavors were unlike anything I've had before, and I loved getting to try something so different. My favorite dish was easily the grilled fish. It reminded me of the Filipino grilled fish I grew up eating, so it had a comforting familiarity while still showcasing its own distinct Indonesian flavors. If you're looking for authentic Indonesian food or simply want to try something new, I highly recommend LaaLaaPan. I'll definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu.

The balado wasn't spicy, but the sambal definitely was. I also missed having sambal ijo and some gulai gravy, both of which would have made the plate feel more complete. The bakwan jagung had a similarly homemade style. Depending on your preferences, it will either make you miss your mom's cooking or leave you craving a crispier, restaurant-style bakwan jagung packed with corn kernels. The soda gembira, like many Indonesian places here, use Sprite instead of club soda or plain soda water, which makes it far too sweet. The syrup they used tasted authentic, though. Overall, you may love this place specifically because the food tastes like something you grew up eating. However, if your preference leans more toward polished, restaurant-style Indonesian food, it may feel a little underwhelming.

Salt Fish and Chips in Lake Balboa is like a favorite bottle that you don't want to open cause it's so so good nothing compares and yet you must open cause it's so so good nothing compares. They have the best. No I mean the best fish and chips. Not the crud you typically get with the oil that is so rancid you don't know what is worse the fish or oil. I am talking about sweet white fish ( possibly cod) that tastes so good and not fishy at all. The fries are even better than McDonalds so crispy on the outside yet tasty on the inside. Yum. The dips. Are yummy too. They prepare daily their own tartar sauce and cocktail sauce. When there they give you large containers of refrigerated tartar, cocktail , and ketchup. All the best of the best. Beverages are like a smorgasbord of choices including. With and without carbonation. Some dinners include the beverage. Price you won't believe how delicious and yet reasonably priced. Old school all the way. They want to make a little on a lot of people knowing that you will be back. Why- its so good, your body says so. But your mind will even trump that. So where can you find the best of the best two large pieces of fish filet, one really jumbo shrimp, a plate of French fries and sauces to your content for $8.95. (Captains Special). All fish two pieces with fries $6.95. All shrimp three pieces with fries $8.95. Drinks cans and bottles range from $1 to $1.89 ( bargain. I paid 2.99 at 7-11 for same Orange Crush but did get 400 useless points cause each time I update my phone I lose 4000 of them. Summed up. - don't eat fish well than have the best chicken strips. My dad complained. Why. He said that for $5.49 with fries. They gave enough for a family not one person. Their onion rings are yummy. Their Cole slaw they make and if still available at night is so good. So Fish and chips are the best and don't have to be smothered in that horrible hot sauce so you don't get food poisoning. Been their done that. Get really fine fish and chips plus more at a price that you and your family is comfortable with and your taste buds is ecstatic with. You will keep on coming here for years and years like I have, with my family and have continued since my mama passed three and a half years ago but I still feel her presence.

Almost once every three days. There food is epic. The fish and chips all star. The jumbo shrimp to write home about. The onion rings a home run. The new fried chicken is fabulous. My dad does not like fish or seafood but he can't get enough of the epic seasoning that is part of the Chicken Breadt Strips Meal. The owner is a doll. She gave us a sample of the new chicken breast a couple of weeks ago last week she we gave a sample of the epic chicken. Tonight a sample ( medium size of her freshly made most delious Cole Slaw). Everything here is made in house with a couple of exceptions. The Tartar and Cocktail Sauce; Cole Slaw; etc are all made in house. They are so wonderful. The taste is beyond compare. You feel you're at you're aunt Peggy's house and she has made you a treat. You are not eating food from a bag, jar, or can. The owner cannot be sweeter and more caring. She makes you feel like no matter your age, you are one of her children. My dad is almost 82 years of age, and he too is treated like one of her one. Please you gotta try H Salt Fish and Chips.
