We were seated on the patio, and it was super nice and relaxing. I would have preferred to sit inside, but the patio was still a great experience and had a lovely ambiance. I ordered oysters, a lobster roll with caviar, and fries, and everything was absolutely amazing! The food was fresh and delicious. The lobster roll with caviar was definitely my favorite. Our server was also very helpful and nice. I unfortunately forgot his name, but he made sure we had everything we needed and provided great service. Overall, a wonderful experience with delicious food, a beautiful atmosphere, and friendly service. I'd definitely come back! read more

Seating is limited but there is a long oyster bar. From the raw bar, I enjoyed their oysters, little neck clams, and tuna aguachile. They sell oysters from their family farm which is a nice touch, and the aguachile was a standout and well balanced. We also had their scallop tostado, chowder, and wedge salad which were all great as well. For me, the chowder was the quintessential New England style chowder perhaps made with a bit more finesse. I also liked how their wedge salad used thick cut bacon. However, I felt like the scallops were overpowered by the citrus flavors although that's more of a personal preference. Service was amazing at the oyster bar! read more

My gf and I visited Found Oyster this past weekend for lunch and had such an amazing time! We did a walk in around 1pm and were quoted a 45 minute wait. The hostess asked if we would like to have some drinks on the sidewalk while we waited, which was great! I had a nice glass of orange wine and my gf had a Chardonnay, both delicious. The waitress that took care of us once we were seated was wonderful - I wish I had gotten her name! She explained the menu to us well and was generous with her drink pours. I dried their house wine once we were dining and it was also delicious. Now for the food! We started off the meal with one oyster each and the Sicilian crudo. It has been YEARS since I tried oysters and I remember not liking them, but I wanted to give it another shot. To my surprise, my oyster was fresh, delicious, and not fishy AT ALL. The crudo was incredible - the fish was fresh and the flavor combo of olive oil and capers was divine. For our main, we split the fried fish sandwich with fries. The fries were great, and the sandwich was crisp, not too oily, and paired perfectly with the toppings. For dessert, we had their key lime pie. Also something I don't usually enjoy, but it was fantastic as well. All in all we had a wonderful experience and look forward to returning and trying the other restaurants in the family! read more

Found oysters small place but it was delicious. The wait was around 30 minutes on a Saturday afternoon. The natural wine selection is spectacular the green tea and a white Spaniard wine were my favorites. Also, the oysters from main, oyster shooters, and lobster roll were really all tasty. I have to say it's on the pricier side, but you will enjoy it. read more

We had such a delicious meal here!! We made rezzies in advance for lunch and they seated us within about five minutes of us arriving. We sat at the high top tables along the side of the wall across from the bar. Really cool and casual interior, doesn't feel pretentious whatsoever. Warm and friendly staff. I was worried when looking at their menu online that they only had wine since I was craving a cocktail, but alas they do have cocktails! They have martinis or margaritas. I went with a martini and they ask how you like it so I got mine with gin, an olive and a twist. It was made perfectly and it was so good! We ordered 8 oysters from the specials menu (they have it written inside on chalkboard), the plate of frites, smoked trout dip, and a tuna aguachile dish they had on their specials menu. It was a small table but we got everything to fit because they smartly have a holder to lift the tray above the table which helps. Everything looked beautiful when it came out! The oysters were great, salty but not overly briney. The smoked trout dip with the roe on top was delicious, the buttery ritz crackers pair with it so nicely. I would get that again for sure. The aguachile was good as well, it had quite the kick to it too. And honestly fries are fries, yes, but these fries were maybe some of the best ones I've ever had. Perfectly fried to a crisp and salty. I'll dream of those fries. And such a perfect portion of them for sharing with a friend. I loved our time here! read more

Found Oyster is made for seafood lovers and is truly one of the best raw bars you'll find in Los Angeles. Definitely make a reservation on weekends because a line had already formed outside the door before the restaurant even opened. The interior space is compact but lively, warm, and charming, with bar seating, high-top tables, and plenty of plants that bring the space to life. From the raw bar, we ordered the Sicilian crudo, littleneck clams, peel & eat prawns, Jonah crab cocktail, and a couple of their oyster selections. Almost everything we ordered was a 10/10 because of how exceptionally fresh the seafood was. The Sicilian crudo is a must-order, with a combination of salmon, tuna, and scallop dressed with lemon, capers, and red onion. We also had the New England-style clam chowder with bacon. It was creamy and delicious, though a bit thinner than what I was used to. Service was attentive, prompt, and efficient despite how busy the restaurant was, as it was already bustling from the moment it opened. I'm looking forward to the next time I can come back! read more

Found Oyster has become one of my favorite seafood restaurants in Los Angeles, I first took my wife here for her birthday a couple years ago and now we just keep going back. The menu changes enough to keep every visit interesting, especially the changing oyster selection. This time we had the Lil Namskaket oysters, which were clean, briny, and slightly sweet. Since we shared just about everything in our group of 4 this time, I got to try a wide variety of dishes. The Jonah crab cocktail was a highlight and ended up being my favorite shared plate. The tuna aguachile was bright and refreshing, the Sicilian crudo let the quality of the fish shine, the smoked trout dip (a repeat because it's so good) was creamy and smoky and was paired with crackers, and the scallop tostada was fresh and beautifully balanced. The two dishes that keep bringing me back, though, are the chowdaaa and the lobster bisque roll. As someone who grew up in New England, I'm pretty picky about my lobster rolls, and this one absolutely holds its own here on the West Coast. The clam chowder is another must-order. I don't care if it's the middle of summer during a heatwave--if it's delicious, it's delicious. The fried cod sandwich was satisfying and straightforward, and even the frites were addictive enough that I kept reaching for more. We skipped dessert this time because we were stuffed, but I've had the key-lime pie before and highly recommend saving room for it if you can do it. What I appreciate most about Found Oyster is its consistency. Every single time, the food has been outstanding, the service has always been friendly, and it's a place I genuinely look forward to returning to. If you're a seafood fan, this one absolutely deserves a visit. Street parking can be tough so plan accordingly. They do walk-ins but I'd recommend making a reservation, especially if more than 2 of you are going. Inside seating and bar seating are available but for larger groups, they'll seat you out on the patio. read more

Came here for a light lunch, the food was pretty good but definitely pricey. Favorite bite was definitely the dunguness crab tostada, it was a new item but AMAZING, definitely recommend trying it. The razor clam had a rly good sauce base but it was a lil bit sandy and not as tender as I hoped but still good. We also got the crudo, 2 oysters, 2 prawns, and 2 mussels. They were pretty good, but nothing crazy & lowk expensive. I was celebrating an anniversary with my boyfriend so we were fine w paying but just know that it's a bit pricy for the portions. For the both of us, it was almost $200 read more

What an incredible seafood restaurant!!! Their happy hour (4-6pm) is also so lit because it's $10 strong ass martinis lol I was drunk with half a drink and had to order the trout dip ($26) to balance out my dizziness! The trout dip was sooooo amazing!!!!!! Staffs were super super friendly and welcoming! I was seated at the bar first as I was waiting for my friends but the staff started chatting with me about life and the menu. I really appreciated the friendliness here! Once all my friend arrived, we were seated outside and ordered a bunch of fish and oyster tacos ($8 each). They were both delicious. The shrimp toast was also super yummy. The seafood platter was a must!! So fresh and so delicious! Definitely will be back to try more food. The restaurant is quite small so I'd recommend making a resy if you can or be ready to sit at the bar first come first serve. The ambiance is cute and casual- would even be a great place to enjoy a solo meal! read more

Squeezed in a reaaally fast dinner here between open house visits and had a great time, everyone was super friendly and attentive since the high top tables are quite small. We were also trying to beat the 1 hr parking meter in the 4 hr parking zone (why?!) and managed to do that. Ordered à la carte oysters, which were from RI and Mexico this particular day. I was kind of hoping the Mexico ones were more like west coast oysters or gulf oysters cause I prefer both of those over east coast oysters. Sadly, no luck, both were quite briny with the ME ones slightly less so. The peel n eat prawns were good... but $7 a pop good? Not sure. Chowder was shockingly delicious and full of clam meat and potatoes. I might like this one more than the Hog Island chowder which has been my favorite for a long while. The scallop tostada and Sicilian crudo (halibut, salmon, scallop) were both fine but the fish & scallop tasted not super fresh? Not bad or anything, just kept getting a whiff of something fishy in both dishes. We didn't like the bread as much as we thought (fairly strong charred flavor and doesn't have a pillowy chew). I did love the anchovies though! $10 happy hour martinis are nice, and I enjoyed the champagne which was supposed to be "crisp biscuity goodness". Overall a good meal, vibes are great, and a reservation is required if you don't wanna wait an hour+! read more

Every dish we got was very yummy. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants we've had in LA. Ordered: - Chowdaaa - So yummy. Honestly my favorite chowder I've ever had. Saw them seasoning it with fish sauce. I wouldn't have guess to do that but it works very well. - Silican Crudo - I always love a crudo. Very Yummy - Scallop Tostada - The apple, yuzu, and scallop are paired so well with each other. - Hot Shoft Shell Crab Sando - Lobster Bisque Roll My favorite dishes we got were the chowdaaa, silican crudo, and scallop tostada. The restaurant is small, would recommend getting a reservation. The inside is basically one long bar with a few 2 seats tables along the long hallway/bar. They had a couple tables outside that could sit 4 people. We didn't have a reservation but got there about 20 minutes before opening on a Sunday on lunch. They ended up having probably 20 ish people in line by the time they opened. They had Cape Cod and Maine oysters the day we went. We decided not to get any since they were market price and we had other oysters in similar regions before so decided to focus on the other dishes. read more

I had the most amazing dinner here today. Everything was delicious and I cannot wait to relive it all. The restaurant itself is small, so unless you want to sit outside in the heat, make a reservation. The place was almost full just 10 min after opening. I had planned to try mostly everything raw, but there was a happy hour and skewer menu that they do on Wednesdays and I had to try that as well. My favorite was the oyster mushroom one and the blue prawn. The flavor was insane. read more

We really enjoyed our experience at Found Oyster. We took advantage of a few of the daily specials. 2 different types of oysters served with a delicious basil dipping sauce and a couple of the rum cocktails. Deeeeelish we also shared the crab dip, made perfectly with just enough binder to let you still really enjoy the crab. We shared a fish sandwich platter, and shared a slice of pie among the table. Service was great. Attentive and full of suggestions. Would definitely go back! read more

Had trout dip, crudo, oysters, and lobster rolls. Oysters and lobster rolls were my favorite. Ambience and service were good. Took one star out because of the price.

If you're near East Hollywood and craving seafood/oysters, look no further than Found Oyster. 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! read more

Very pricey and the seafood is good but nothing exceptional. Overhyped place. If you've had Swan Oyster Bar in San Francisco, their Sicilian sashimi is much better. The grilled skewer was fine but nothing special. The highlight was the $10 martini during 4-6pm read more

Found Oyster - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is probably the 4th or 5th time we've dined here - and today was... not the best. The biggest issue was that the kitchen was clearly in the weeds, and our outdoor table took the brunt of that. People indoors seemed to be receiving their food just fine, but the larger tables outside suffered. For hours. We got pretty much zero communication on what was happening; it took almost 2+ hours to receive any cooked food whatsoever. The raw items came out 15-20 minutes into the meal, which meant that we sat for the majority of the time with no entrees and no updates. Keep in mind that one of the hot items we ordered was the clams and mussels - a steamed dish that was literally dumped into a bowl with a pile of raw garlic and fries on top. The broth had a strong alcohol taste that did not cook off. Super underwhelming and disappointing after the 2 hour wait. Moreover, dishes came out seemingly at random, so our table of 4 people ate at different times, with no coordination (I realize some items are family style here, but sandwiches are clearly not). It's not fun/convivial for everyone when some have already completed their meal, and others have not even taken a first bite of their entrees. Ultimately they did offer to take the bread and one tostada off or our bill. A concession, but by no means an acknowledgment of the unpleasant overall experience. I think we're going to give this place a long break. And maybe only come back on a weekday when they're hopefully less busy. read more

Found Oyster has really nailed the raw seafood bar concept. Grab a seat at the bar and order incredible seafood plates and tasty libations. It's sort of pricey, but that's because of all the fresh and amazing seafood. Lobster Bisque Roll: This is one of the best and smallest lobster rolls around. The brioche is lightly toasted and soft as a pillow on the inside. The large firm chunks of lobster are soft, delicate, and succulent. The lobster is subtly sweet and dripping in the juicy aioli sauce. The serrano peppers give tiny pops of heat. Between the soft lobster, crispy-fluffy bread, and snappy chives, this is textural perfection. The frites are at another level. They are extra crispy and soft. Maybe I'm imagining it, but they also taste like they've been dusted with prawn chip salt. Parking: Finding free street parking in the surrounding neighborhood is rather simple. read more

The food here was great! I loved the trout dip and the blue prawns the most. We also ordered French fries so we could dip them in the sauce that comes with the blue prawns, which was a great suggestion from our server! I will also mention I loved the anchovies in the caesar salad, so yummy and the best salty addition. The service here was great, all the servers were kind and had great recommendations. The vibe here is super fun and light. It's got a very hip vibe inside, great music playing but not too loud that it makes it hard to talk. Overall just a great experience and can't wait to go back! read more

I've been wanting to revisit Found Oyster for some time and decided check it out for an early evening dinner. I made a reservation for 4 PM (right at opening time) but probably could have just walked in given there were a lot of seats open and I was a solo diner. Service was scattered in the beginning, which I think was tied to the fact that the staff were still in their preparatory stages right after opening. While I enjoyed going there when it was not busy, I would probably come at a later time that is still on the early side (maybe between 4:30-5:30 PM) but when the employees are more in their groove. From 4 to 6 PM they offer discounted martinis along with some small plates at a reduced price. The prawn toast came with a mixture of seafood (whitefish, scallops, and prawn) and was a small bite that came with a perfectly crispy texture. The fried calamari was also well-made, and the tangy tartar sauce that came with the fried cod sandwich kept it bright and paired well with the fish (that was tender while maintaining a crunch exterior). I also sampled one each of the oysters available that evening, and it was fun watching the staff shuck them throughout the meal. While it can feel pricey given the quantity of food you receive, I though the quality was great! read more

A bit confused as to why this place is so popular but perhaps it's one of those LA hipster things. We had a reservation and sat at the bar. Service was 10/10, chatted with the server and got to watch them shuck our oysters. I was a bit disappointed they didn't have any of the sweet Pacific oysters I preferred. East Coast ones are very briney, but they were def nice and fresh here. The rest of the food and drink I didn't find worth it for the price. The crudo was $21 and really just made me crave the purity of sashimi. The smoked trout dip was good, but $26, served with ritz crackers, and gone in a few bites. The scallop tostada was $22 for a small, unshareable portion with flavors I found confusing. Yuzu, apple, and basil didn't end up tasting sophisticated with the scallop tostada, it felt like someone had dumped yuzu flavored apple sauce on it. I asked for an extra dirty martini and when I got it I couldn't taste any olive at all, just straight vodka. I love a stiff drink but would love it to be balanced and what I asked for. Can be a cute vibey place for a casual date but found the food/value didn't live up to the hype. read more

I heard of this tasty restaurant while I was out to dinner at another phenomenal restaurant across the street. Walk-ins are welcome but it is strongly advised to make reservations as the place isn't that big . Also if you want to take in the indoor restaurant vibes, book the resy. As we waited to be seated the waitress asked if we wanted something to drink. So we ordered a glass of white wine. It was the perfect introduction to the hospitality and the amazing service. We got seated at the bar and were greeted by another waiter and they took our order. We orders the wedge salad, the half dozen oysters and lobster roll. Wow what a refreshing, yummy dinner. The wedge salad was a first but the lettuce was crisp, the dressing creaming and I could have ordered another. I don't even like blue cheese and I scarfed it down lol. I am an oyster girly so I ordered 3 of each of what the daily oyster selection was. Zero complaints. They were fresh and as yummy as can be! The lobster roll was probably the best roll I had in a long long time. Bringing New England to the West Coast is a slam dunk. Parking is relatively easy. There is plenty of street parking. read more

Small charming hole in the wall type of spot. It feels like you're on vacation in another city or country coming in here. Food was fresh, nice quality and tasty. The favorite from our meal was the smoked trout dip! 10/10 try it with the grilled bread for the most amazing combination. The fresh seafood was delicious and the dips were so flavorful! Clam chowder was a bit on the thinner side, I would have preferred a thicker soup. Scallop tostada is soooo unique! It's sweet and tastes almost like applesauce but the fresh basil absolutely brings everything together so perfectly. A great spot to check out. Highly recommend making reservations. Good for 1-2 ppl, not large groups. More intimate dining read more

It's been a minute since I've indulged in seafood in LA. Honestly, it's usually not my vibe. I tend to crave seafood when I'm near the water--fresh air, ocean views, away from the city chaos. It's a whole mood. But I got invited to Found Oyster Bar, so here we are. First impression: damn, this place is tiny. They also have sidewalk seating, which definitely gives COVID-era vibes. We had a group of six, so outside seating it was. Cars passing by, cigarette smoke drifting from someone nearby--just not my ideal setting. Even our super kind and attentive server, Lily, was wearing a mask, which kind of added to that feeling. That said... the food quickly changed my attitude. We started with Grandma's Bread with butter, smoked salt, and white anchovies--and wow. Instant favorite. I never would've thought anchovies and butter on toast would work so well, but it absolutely does. Simple, salty, and addictive. Next up was the Baywatch platter, which came with a dozen of their two kinds of their oysters of the day, peel-and-eat shrimp, and Sicilian crudo. The oysters were amazing--savory, clean, and super fresh. Even my friend who normally doesn't eat raw oysters was pleasantly surprised by how much he didn't dislike them (which says a lot, lol). The crudo was solid--tuna, salmon, and yellowtail, I believe. We liked it enough to order a bigger one. This version had capers, olive oil, and a touch of crystallized salt that really hit with every bite. So good. The basic peel-and-eat shrimp was just okay--felt like it stayed in the pan a little too long and didn't have much going on flavor-wise. But the peel-and-eat shrimp with the special sauce? Completely different story. Perfectly cooked, shells came off easily, and that red sauce was insanely addictive. I don't even know what was in it, but it was so good that I ended up soaking it up with Grandma's Bread and topping it with anchovies--total flavor bomb. We also ordered the smoked trout dip, which was excellent. Paired perfectly with the crackers and honestly something I wished I could take home and snack on while watching TV. Overall, the experience was really good. The setting isn't quite my vibe, but the food absolutely delivers. Lily and the rest of the team were fantastic--attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Can't thank them enough for the great service. read more

great fresh seafood. great vibe sitting at the bar. third wheeled with a couple of married friends to catch up on a sunday night nabbing a later reservation. FO graciously expanded our reservation by 1 person after calling a few hours ahead. they even thoughtfully gave us corner seats so all 3 of us could converse more easily. parking in this neighborhood appears to be tight and not ample but was lucky to find some meter or yellow loading parking. everything was delicious. baywatch platter was a show stopper with all of the fresh, delicious oysters, prawns, and sicilian crudo. everything was SO fresh. but the scallop tostada was a bit on the sweet side for me. although i prefer a simpler butter lobster roll and FO makes a mayo based one, it was so good my buddy gobbled up 2 by himself. the cheesy artichoke brandade anchored everything together and gave us something hardy to munch on. i was pleasantly surprised to find that FO also serves martinis complete with blue cheese olives (extra charge for blue cheese) besides a wide array of wine and champagne. we all enjoyed our martinis and went about our merry ways after a great sunday seafood dinner. service was fast, attentive, and hip. resos are not too bad to get on resy if you plan a few days ahead or don't mind a later dinner. will bring a date or would be happy to third wheel again next time. will def be back. read more

I'd long wanted to try Found Oyster as one of my friends recommended it several years ago and said how 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. read more

Certified Found Oyster fans here!! We've been multiple times over the years - pre-baby, pregnant, and most recently post-baby as our final date night of 2025 thanks to a gift certificate from a friend who clearly gets us. Still obsessed. We ordered the crudo and the fish was insanely buttery as always. That scallion + caper bite with the perfect acidity? MM MM MMM. No crumbs. Mussels and clams with fries never let us down. Ever. Get it with bread. This is not a suggestion. The steak came with a beautifully dressed salad that hit salty, bitter, and sour in all the right ways. Steak was a perfect medium rare, tender, and well-seasoned. She ate. The oyster selection is always 1000%. My husband happily goes to town every time. I am not an oyster girl, but I will absolutely nibble on other raw goodies like the trout dip and prawns. We've had the tostada, chowdaa, and plenty of other dishes over the years and nothing has ever disappointed. Pro-tip: Get a reservation if you can plan ahead of time, but you can walk in and test your luck. Great vibes, comfy outdoor seating, and service that is always sweet, efficient, and on it. Found Oyster forever!!! read more

Came here over the summer before a concert - and it met/exceeded our expectations after checking out their yelp reviews and pictures! My favorite thing about this place was the unique offerings on their menu - lots of unique seafood options you wouldn't find elsewhere. Seems like the menu rotates regularly and has a bunch of specials, which is all the more reason to come back. We ordered the smoked trout drip to start, and this blew us away. The ritz crackers didn't sound so appetizing but omg, they went so well with the creamy dip. We were fighting over the last bite for this one. Was also craving a lobster roll, which was satisfying, and the fries were great too. My dining companions enjoyed their beer and wine selection. Overall the cost was very reasonable for what we ordered, and the service was great. Can't wait to come back! read more

If you're a seafood lover Found Oyster is a spot that's a must try. This is now one of my new favorite restaurants when I'm craving a taste of the sea. I've been a couple times in the last month and enjoyed my time there. It's an intimate spot with mainly counter seating so best for small groups or dates. Service has been friendly and the employees seem to enjoy working as they will converse with some of the guests. They have a tight menu with a majority of raw bar items such as oysters, crudo, shellfish, crab dip, sea urchin, etc. These are served on a silver tray on top of ice. They also have a chalkboard with the specials that will change daily. If you're not a seafood fan, they have steak. This is one of the places I can easily recommend to friends and will definitely be back. The oysters here are so fresh and as someone that was never really a fan before, I look forward to them when coming here. read more

This tiny place packs a big punch. My friend and I came on a Sunday afternoon with reservations to sit at the bar, which I recommend, but they also have high top and outdoor seating. All of the staff were so friendly and gave recommendations. I like the format where any staff member can help you because we were able to interact with many of them. Our dozen oysters from the daily selection were so fresh and well-shucked. I was a bit surprised to find that they only had one type available, for a place with oyster in the name. The Sicilian Crudo took my breath away. The fish was so simply yet perfectly prepared with lemon and olive oil. I could have eaten plate after plate of this so I suggest you don't restrain yourself and go for the larger portion. Bub & Grandma's Bread with the addition of white anchovies also completely satisfied me. The combination of the creamy butter and salty fish on that bread was so good. I could have eaten these 2 dishes and been happy. We were recommended the Scallop Tostada by multiple servers but I wasn't a fan. I preferred the scallops in the crudo, as the yuzu kosho overpowered this dish and added an applesauce texture. It was also small for the price. The Chowdaaa for $9 was a nice and comforting way to round out our meal, along with one of their salads that was on the daily special. I believe it had stone fruit and was a refreshing way to complement our other dishes. So definitely check out that specials board for the day and don't forget a nice bottle of wine to complete the wonderful meal! read more

This is one of those little LA gems you almost walk past -- tiny, cozy, and always packed, but totally worth the wait. The seafood is crazy fresh and super clean in flavor. I had the scallop tostada (so bright and citrusy), a few oysters that tasted like they came straight out of the ocean, and the lobster roll, which was buttery perfection without being heavy. Service was friendly and attentive even though the place was slammed. You can tell the staff really know their seafood. I also had a wine tasting offered by our staff! Usually places don't give wine tasting's and pairing recommendations but they do know what they are doing! Still, it's one of my favorite seafood spots in LA. Perfect for date night or grabbing a drink and some oysters with a friend -- just don't come starving or with a big group. Would say though, parking is very difficult, so definitely plan ahead for parking, other than that, it was an amazing experience! read more

If you're a fan of Oysters I would highly recommend this spot. I always order oysters at restaurants anytime I can so it was so I was eager to come to Found Oyster. They brought their oysters all the way from Cape Cod but they somehow still tasted super fresh. We tried the scallop tostada which was not really my style because of the sweet berry-tasting jam they put on it but my partner liked it! 4/10 The lobster biscuit roll was so insanely good. Tastes just like the lobster rolls at RH ocean grill. 15/10 I would totally come back. read more

They don't have a telephone you can call but you can text them at (213) 377-2726, and they're very quick with replying Found Oyster is perfect if you want to sample everything without over ordering. The raw bar is the highlight, you can order items by the piece, which means no pressure to commit to half a dozen or a dozen of the same thing. We tried 2 mussels, 12 oysters, 2 littleneck clams, and 2 shrimp. Everything tasted fresh, clean, and briny, the way good seafood should be. From the kitchen, we had the summer bean salad, lobster roll (comes with fries), scallop tostada, and ended the meal with a slice of chocolate pie. The tostada was the only miss for me, way too sweet without any tartness but everything else was excellent. And you have to ask for a side of their homemade butter milk sauce for the fries if you like ranch (which they don't have)....the buttermilk was DELISH!! They have 1 non-alcoholic "champagne" (didn't catch the name) available, so I had a glass...it was light, crisp, and cider-like. Hope this helps someone since NA drinks don't pop up in reviews much when I go searching for it. One note: parking looks awful in the area, but I took a rideshare so can't fully comment. Cozy spot, friendly service, and ideal for adventurous eaters who want to mix and match! Sorry the pictures aren't great. We were sat right by the entrance and the combination of street lighting + indoor glow was not camera friendly. Oh yeah, the corner bar seat seemed like the move for best ambiance but hostess said it was reserved already. read more
