    Server was friendly, made sure i was good with everything. Seafood was surprisingly fresh and delicious. The chips and salsa were addicting to say the least and the oysters were large and tasted fresh! Will definitely be coming back for the quality!

    Been here a couple times 5-7, if I came back would only be for the empanadas. The last time My order was, Dozen of empanadas de camarón, coctel chico de camarón y pulpo , camarones empanizados, aguachiles, chicarrón de pescado, consomé, sodas, water, agua frescas, $192.26 for 6 people, had got tacos de camarón but everyone was done eating and we cancelled them, then they still brought them out and they were cold, they were free. The empanadas were toastier than usual, I prepared my coctel and on the second spoonful, a black hair came out, my hair is blonde, they took it and brought me a new one. Food isn't great, it's ok. I personally didn't like the michelada. This place gets people and they sometimes have live music. Waiter was nice.

    My favorite spot in the antelope valley, the sauce on the camarones encabronados and mejillon/langostinos are always fantastic spicy but just the right amount, we tried the shrimp cheese empanadas for the first time and they were super delicious a bit to greasy but overall great flavor! They gave a bunch of small sauces for the empanadas, salsas, chips and limes, i only gave it a 4 star because when i had originally ordered i asked for extra sauce for the camarones encabronados and they didn't put it with the order so i had to order a side of it for an additional 5.50 and it was half full so that was unfortunate. But overall still a good place to try if you love spicy food

    I looked on yelp for a good seafood restaurant... I'm sooooo happy I was able to find this authentic Mexican Seafood Restaurant. Of course it's a whole in a wall type of establishment, however I find the best food at these type of places. The green salsa is kinda spicy, only if your a mild type of individual but I like my dishes CALIENTE ‼ Ordered: MEJILLONES/LONGASTINOS Mussels and freshwater prawns, cooked in house spicy sauce.

    We have been here a couple times before every now and then. The food is good, the service always seems to be rushed. Today we went in, it was a little busy, we're sat down after a while right next to the bathrooms. But we continued to order anyway because there was no other tables. They brought the food and drinks. Waitress did apologize for the wait. Today was unpleasant because there was a roach on our table. We tried calling the waitress, she came over after a while. She apologized and said it was because they come in trough the back door since the trash cans are out there. We switched tables, finished eating. She did give us a complimentary beer. Honestly the service in this restaurant is always rushed, and there is always one waitress that gives good service the others are not too friendly at all. Unfortunately we won't be returning.

    Oyster, cucumber, lots of union and tomato.

    This was the saddest place I have ever been to. The callo was chewy and the octopus was hard. The oysters were just as chewy as the callo! Very expensive too! Just for a small plate of seafood. The place smelled of a ton of fabuloso. The only good thing here was the music! Crazy! Wouldn't recommend at all!!

Butcher paper are placed on our tables with menus following. We ordered Boba, strawberry smoothies (our smoothies weren't quite sweet enough, and something was missing to make them the best they could be), and Sprite (in a bottle). We also ordered two lobster tails, which came with two corn and two potato sides and Combo Grilled Platters. The lobster tails were generous, packed with meat and flavor. Rolling Crab offers a variety of flavors: Rolling Crab Classic, Louisiana Cajun, Lemon Pepper, and Garlic Butter. Bibs and gloves are available, and you can choose the lobster tails mild, medium, or super spicy, or go for the original. They come in buckets. The Combo Grilled Platters were generous portions, though we wished for more shrimp. The flavor was excellent, though. The restaurant was clean and cozy, with a small space that could easily accommodate a large group. We didn't feel rushed at all, even though it wasn't packed. We noticed a lot of takeout orders, but overall, the service was great, and the food was delicious. We're definitely planning to return!

More concerning, however, was a serious issue regarding safety and how my family--particularly my child--was treated by staff. During our visit, my toddler was standing next to her high chair when employees were running through the restaurant. One employee fell and immediately blamed my child for the incident. I was present and witnessed the situation clearly. My child was approximately four feet away and was not involved in any way. The employee tripped on her own, yet responsibility was placed on my child. If the placement of a high chair in that area posed a concern, it should not have been offered or placed there to begin with. At no point did any staff member, including the manager, ask if my child was okay (especially since they thought she was tripped over) Instead, blame was directed towards my toddler, which made me feel unwelcome and judged for simply dining with a baby. Also if she really was tripped over- they did not care about her at all. This shows: THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR GUESTS. A server came up to us and expressed how she was the blame despite not seeing what had happened. These employees are running up and down. That is why she tripped. This is my my toddler (thankfully) was not harmed. I hope the waitress is okay though, clearly this company does not care about safety much- as she kept working after. We spent over $150 during this visit, and the overall experience left me feeling that this establishment is not family-friendly. This is particularly disappointing, as families should feel safe and respected while dining. Due to this experience, we will not be returning, and I will be sharing this feedback with all friends and family. I hope this matter is taken seriously and addressed appropriately to prevent similar situations in the future. Maybe a training on where to put high chairs, how not to run in an establishment, and how to speak with respect towards others would be a good start.

I honestly wanted to leave, but my kids wanted to stay. I had them look at the claw machines until we were ready to be taken to our seats. Some of the staff continued to openly argue in the dining area during the remainder of our time there. We arrived around noon, and the food selection was okay. Some items were sitting in the pans for so long that they became soggy or chewy. The tempura shrimp tasted really good when it first came out, but when I went to get some for my dad they were very hard to eat. I wish the selection was a little broader, as it is mainly seafood. None of the items were labeled. The younger lady that was making rounds to clear plates from tables was pleasant and really the only positive part of our first time experience here.. I would like to give this place a try again to hopefully have a better experience.

    So why the mixed reviews? Let me break it down for you, as I've been there for both lunch and…read moredinner. SERVICE: The main lady, who I'm assuming is the manager, has an unusual seating arrangement system. When you get there and pay, the cashier will tell you it's a 10-minute wait. Meanwhile, no one else is in the lobby waiting, and the interior of the restaurant isn't busy. The main lady is the one who seats you. The service staff is nice, but they are not "on top of it." The servers don't ask if you want drink refills. You have to tell them. They are literally there to pick up your plates and bring you drinks. Also, the poor things don't even have trays to carry the drinks. They always look miserable, like they're working a 16-hour shift but are only halfway through the lunch rush. None of them are mean; they just always look so exhausted. Additionally, the main lady doesn't speak kindly to the wait staff. She constantly seems angry at them. FOOD: They do offer a lot of variety of sushi, sashimi, korean bbq, hot foods such as a full ham, a full beef, fried fish, seafood boils, beef and broccoli, and their infamous coconut shrimp. All very tasty dishes. The hot food is hot and the cold food is cold, but they have a lot of violations reference: http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/eh/i-want-to/view-inspection-results.htm scroll to "Inspection Results", then type in "Luck Buffet" to review their food handling and temperatures. Again the food is good and tasty, but it comes with a price. The sushi is not sitting on refrigeration or ice, so any of the raw fish does not hold a temperature of 41 degrees or less. The same goes for the salad bar area, where at night they have raw oysters and cooked shrimp. The oysters had ice all around them, but according to the health inspection, their refrigeration unit is not up to standard and is not elevated off the floor. Their raw fish is also not stored properly while waiting to be made into sushi. It's just "under the counter." Similar violations were noted for their raw chicken and various other products containing cooked fish. All of this is to say that it doesn't matter how they present it; it's not at the right temperatures by the time it reaches your plate. OVERALL: I had a great time on Valentine's Day with my husband. I had been wanting to try this place for dinner for quite some time, and we didn't want a fussy, overpriced Valentine's dinner. This place seemed like a great option. I had eaten there a month prior for lunch for the first time, and it was nice, but I didn't have any of the additional items they served for dinner. This time, they had all the options available, and it seemed nice; however, within 24 hours, I became violently ill from food poisoning, and my husband just wasn't feeling great either. I suffered for four days with fevers, rashes, and everything expelling from my body. When I looked up their infractions, it suddenly made sense. The choice, and the risk, is ultimately yours!
