The Kickin' sauce is delicious! The restaurant space is new and big and clean. We got waited a bit to get seated and food comes out a bit slow but at least you know it's made to order! I wish there was more obvious signage that they validate parking for 2 hours because that would've saved us a lot of time not having to drive around ktown for a street spot before we could even go in.

Parking can be a bit tough at times because it's always packed! The restaurant has a lot of seating as well as a patio outside! They have a pretty decent size menu and a lot to choose from! When you walk in you wait in line and if you're ordering fish, you can pick out which one you want. After they write up your order, you pay and then they will call your number when it's ready! We normally order the tilapia fish, Camarones enchipotlados, the shrimp tempura plate, garlic bread and steamed rice. There hasn't been one time where I left hungry! They give you good portions and everything is so tasty. The fish is cooked to perfection, the shrimp and the chipotle sauce is to die for and the tempura shrimp are so yummy! Overall, this is a place where you could come over and over again and never get tired of it! If you're looking for great seafood in the LA area, definitely checkout Alaska Seafood, they will not disappoint!

It's been a bit over 3 years... and I'm still obsessed with this place! It's been a while since…read morewe've dined here (we actually visited last June for our anniversary dinner lol). Honestly, I need to come here more than once a year. Every time we've visited, the food has always hit. I always leave the restaurant stuffed and satisfied. We had a great time at our most recent dinner. We celebrated our friend's birthday and they made our dinner really special for us. They gave the birthday boy a bedazzled crab house t-shirt, gave us 2 plates of braised salmon on the house and even an extra uni small sized uni bowl. As you can see in my pictures, our table was FULL of food. Service has actually gotten much better than our past few visits. No more pesky, valet guys and they have plenty of parking. I've been tempted to try the other raw marinated crab restaurants but we honestly love this place. Thank you for a great time crab house!

Overall (8.5/10) Pretty good spot for marinated raw crab…read more The crab was fresh and not fishy at all, the workers were phenomenally nice, and the overall experience was really enjoyable. First Impressions (8/10) Very cozy and authentic Korean restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. It was surprisingly not very busy when we went, which made the experience even better. What We Got (8/10) * Soy marinated crab: Very fresh and melts right onto the rice. The sauce is on the sweeter side, almost like a Coca Cola flavor. * Spicy marinated crab: Good flavor but only has a very mild amount of spice. * Panchan: Really good fermented kimchi, rice cake, japchae, and sesame dressed coleslaw. * Each crab dish came with rice and they also serve tea for free. We even got a slice of salmon, which definitely hit the craving. Taste and Quality (7.5/10) The crab was the highlight. No fishy taste and the texture was really soft and rich over the rice. The soy sauce was a little sweeter than I expected, while the spicy sauce could use more heat. Service (10/10) The workers were phenomenally nice and very welcoming. Easily one of the best parts of the experience. Space and Atmosphere (9/10) Really cozy and authentic feeling. The music was mostly BTS, with some BLACKPINK mixed in, which fit the vibe. Apparently Lisa has also visited here. Was It Worth It (7/10) Pretty good for the price, especially with the rice, panchan, tea, and extra salmon. There were also a lot of crab pieces, so you definitely get a decent amount. Final Thoughts A solid spot if you are craving Korean marinated crab. I would come back, especially for the spicy crab and the really nice service.

When they say spicy it really is! We were at Monkish down the street and wanted some ceviche or…read moreaguachile and saw this place as we drove down the road. We went with the shrimp aguachile and were warned it was spicy. They weren't wrong but it was SO GOOD. We got the 12 ounce size with 4 tostadas and it was perfect to split for two people. Washed down with a cucumber and lime agua fresca it was the perfect combo! There is a small seating area on the patio so if you're looking for a larger group maybe take it to go. The service was fast and friendly!

This is a seafood joint on Sunset in LA/Hollywood…read more For me, I would not come again. Many reasons. First the waiting staff is bad. The guy taking orders is rude and a jerk, and does not how long an order takes. Told 5 minutes and had to wait 20z Second, the lady at the window, because they don't serve you so you pick up your food. At first was nice, but the more things I had to ask, the worse she got. Third, the food is just not that good. Not understanding what people are thinking but it was not good at all. Papas taquitos were one seasoned and not good at all. Cameron's dorado were more potato tacos, no seasoning, not fried enough, and just not good. The Pescado aguachili was basically inediblez. Way too spicy. Was told it was spicy, but this was ridiculous. After one bite my taste buds were toast and I could not eat any longer. Glad it was the last thing I tried. For me, will definitely NOT be a return customer.

Cousins Francisco Aguilar and Alexis Chacon relocated from Oaxaca to open this mobile mariscos operation. But Simon's seafood-forward menu is innovative and sophisticated, seemingly more at home in a sit-downery than a mobile food cart. Unsurprisingly, Simon has been lauded by news outlets and food critics abound. I've been dying to try Simon, but the limited and often unpredictable hours have kept me from it for months. My partner and I visited for a late weekend lunch and ordered immediately. We opted for 2 tacos (the Soft Shelled Crab and the Baja-style Fish) and a Large Aguachile Negro, and our made-to-order meal was prepared within a few minutes. Between the tacos, the crab was a clear winner. The crispy, whole crab was well-complemented by the fresh pineapple salsa and the rich chipotle crema. In stark contrast, the Baja-style fried fish was one-dimensional in flavor and ran on the soggy side, owing to the watery pickled cabbage slaw. But not even the crab taco could compete with the stellar aguachile. We couldn't get enough of the marinade's rich blend of acidity and smokiness, which overshadowed even the generous helping of fresh shrimp. Simon's complimentary salsa lineup also exceeded expectations. We most enjoyed the earthy salsa macha and the smooth, creamy salsa verde, but the tangy salsa Simon -- the truck's take on taco sauce -- was no slouch, either. Our bill totaled just over $30, and the meal felt reasonably priced and appropriately filling. While the tacos didn't knock my socks off, the aguachile certainly did -- I can't wait to return to try some of Simon's other varieties.

I tried a few tacos and the ceviche. All of it was pretty solid but nothing really blew me away…read more Mostly, I don't think that the food truck model works for knife and fork seafood. At least not for me. If this was a sit down spot I think I would have enjoyed it much more, but trying to eat seafood with a plastic fork on the side of the road just doesn't do it for me.
