The food was so good & fresh! I highly recommend coming in and trying the food & Micheladas. The place was clean & the servers were attentive.

This is the first time that we sat down and ate at this establishment. We have always picked up tubs of Mariscos to go for our family functions, the Mariscos were really delicious. Dinner tonight was good, Coctel Maleficio Aguachile, callo de hacha, this was made of Aguachile, shrimp, and scallops, and was delicious. There was a lot of seafood in it. The tacos de Camarón were also very good. The service was great. The young lady that waited on us was courteous, friendly and attentive. The structure is medium in size with plenty of tables and chairs and booths to sit down and enjoy your meal. The prices are fairly reasonable in line with other establishments of its kind. There's plenty of parking with the handicap stalls near the front entrance.

The shrimp cocktail with pulpo !

This is my mom's and I's favorite location for some delicious lukewarm shrimp cocktail with pulpo! Her and I have recommended it to MANY and they love the service & how quick the servers are! It's always so clean inside and they have all you need right at your table!

Mariscos a little bit of everything

Food is delicious and the micheladas are a must try. Stop and try this place if you are ever in the city of chino.

My go to love this place. I usually will get Kicken style shrimp with corn, potato's and sausage…read moreand it does not disappoint. Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Cleanliness 10/10 Return? 10/10

Food was fine, but the service needs a lot of work…read more It was our first time coming here, so I had no idea how anything worked. When we first arrived, the front was completely disorganized, and there were no lines at all. People were just crowding around the hostess table, so I had no idea how to add my name to the waitlist. There were no signs that showed where the line starts, and no line was being formed at all. The hostess kept having to walk people to their table, so it was nearly impossible to grab her attention. When I did manage to do so, she was very rude and prioritized other people before us. She obviously saw us come in before other people, but ignored that fact and just added other people to the waitlist first. Ridiculous. Their waitlist system is through Yelp, which sends you a text when your table is ready. Based on the app, it said that our table wouldn't be ready for about 1.5 hours, so we decided to walk around the outlet in the meantime. After nearly 1.5 hours, I saw that we were 2nd in line and decided to have our family walk back to the restaurant. While we were waiting outside for me to receive the text, we heard the host call my name and say that our table was ready. We met with him, and I said that it was odd since I hadn't received the text yet. He said, "Oh no, the hostess told me about you guys. You said that your phone was dead, so you'd hang around the restaurant and wait for us to call your name." No. We never said that. They have us confused with a different party. This means that if I hadn't checked the waitlist regularly and had just waited for that text, it never would've come, and we never would've gotten seated. What a messy system. Also, I've never been to a seafood boil restaurant where we have to ask for the bibs. Normally, they're given to us right when we're seated, so it was weird. We noticed other people were given bibs right when they're seated, so we're not sure why this happened. Other Kickin' Crab locations also give you an entire bottle of ketchup, whereas this place only gives small plastic cups. Weird. I think the employees and other customers would agree with me when I say that the entire place is completely disorganized because multiple orders around us were being messed up. The table to our left was missing its piece of corn and sausage in its bag of shrimp, while the table to our right was missing crawfish in their bag. The workers were obviously trying their best to straighten things out, but it didn't seem to be working. The menu is consistent with their other locations, but the market prices are a bit higher than what we're used to. Compared to the location that we always go to, this place offers bigger frozen crawfish, but the bags were mainly just the claws, so it seemed like a big ripoff. * Cajun Fries: 8/10 - nice cook, but there was only cajun seasoning on the top * Shrimp (Head-On): 9/10 - good flavor * Crawfish (Frozen): 6/10 - big crawfish, but the bag was mostly just claws and not enough garlic The place is located at the Shoppes of Chino Hills outlet, so parking is relatively easy. After being seated, the servers were nice, but it was difficult to enjoy the experience because of everything that had already happened. Overall, the service was a huge letdown, and we did not feel comfortable eating here. Places like this are why tipping is optional. The workers at the Kickin' Crab location we usually go to are way more laidback and friendlier, yet still maintain impeccable service. Would not return.

Came here to say on a Sunday night around 6, place wasn't too busy. Got seated right away. The menu…read morewas very easy to read, they had a lot of items on the menu. Service was excellent even when they got busier later on. Prices were reasonable. We ordered the cheesecorn, bulgogi fries, and pork katsu. They were all good. The bulgogi was so tender, spice was just right. Staff was friendly and attentive. Unisex restroom was very clean. Loved the interior and they were showing K pop music videos. As we walked out the door, one of the staff gave us a plushie that was their promo.

It was my first time at Inssa yesterday and we walked through the doors with much excitement!…read moreParking here is very easy and there are numerous spots that are shared with other neighboring businesses. You won't have trouble finding a spot even on the weekends. Upon walking in, we're greeted by Supreme everything and Brick Bears of all different types. Squid Game cosplays are placed on some Jinro frogs. They have quirky decor and funny sayings pasted on the art/walls. KPOP music videos are being projected on the walls in multiple spots, with an endless playlist of current trendy songs. Why go to the BTS concert when we have BTS here?? The server was the sweetest and I feel bad I didn't get her name! She was calm, cool, and so pleasant to talk to. We had taken out time to wait for our sister to arrive. We ended up ordering their cheese corn, kimchi pancakes, French fries, and bulgogi tacos. We also ended up ordering lychee soju, apple mango soju, and a pitcher of Mango Cart. Our food came in waves, which was great because we were busy watching the music videos. They were super distracting and mesmerizing. I believe the kimchi pancakes were fantastic! Their French fries were on the drier side. Their cheese corn was loaded to the top and very good for their portion size. I think the bulgogi tacos were okay but a bit much. I believe I'd come back here soon. It's such a vibe and such great service. It's easy to drink here and munch away on food with good company. They're doing it right!

My family and I absolutely love coming here since discovering it last year! Parking lot sucks but…read moreworth the walking. We visit often and have tried nearly everything on the menu. Some of our favorite dishes include the bbq beef, beef bone ribs, both poke bowls, and the furikake salmon. During my most recent visit, I tried their latest addition, the Poke Nachos and they were amazing. They had the perfect spicy kick, and the chips were incredibly crunchy. I do wish it had cucumber slices, but overall the poke nachos were excellent. The mac salad is delicious, we always get extra. The Iced Lemon Tea is easily the best drink here. It is so refreshing and always a must order for me. They are always generous with their sauces, which I really appreciate about this place, coming from a sauce lover. For takeout orders, they always carefully wrap the plates and sauces to prevent any spills. I really appreciate the extra attention to detail. The service is consistently quick and friendly, and the restaurant has a beautiful modern vibe. Highly recommend this spot!

We finally tried this spot!…read more Such nice welcoming people behind the counter, was quick and the food was delicious! We tried the beef and bbq chicken plate and the katsu and bbq chicken plate, both had a great portion and the Mac salad was bomb 10/10
