Fried oysters
Vivian A.

Flew into LAX and mentioned to my Pops that I was craving dungeness crab. He said "Let's go get some!" and told him "Say less". I saved this spot as it (no lie) came up when I asked chatgpt what was the best place in the LA area to get whole dungeness crab so I already had it saved as a back up. We arrived a little after they opened on a Thursday. There was another couple but we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. What we swallowed: *WHOLE DUNGENESS CRAB WITH CORN AND GARLIC NOODLES side: This was spot on. We ordered the mix seasoning (cajun and lemon pepper), mild with added corn. The sauce was sticky and gooey. I took the meat out of the crab and topped the crab meat with the sauce. It was SOOOO good. The garlic noodles were good, more garlic then flavor but it was still good. Topped that with the crab sauce too, lol. *FRIED OYSTERS WITH FRIES: The oysters were hot and tasty. They didn't have a weird after taste like some oysters do. Topped these with the crab sauce too. lol We really enjoyed our time here. There is parking in the back and code for the bathroom. The server was really attentive and made sure our experience was great. I'd definitely come back when I'm in town!

Shirts I printed with the old manager.

Unfortunately, I can't review the food today because the way I was treated by the new manager made me decide not to stay. I work under contract at a nearby medical facility and have enjoyed coming here for a bucket of crab during my lunch breaks. I've also completed work for this business in the past, so supporting them always felt especially meaningful--they trusted me with their work, and I was happy to return that support as a customer. Today, however, I wasn't greeted or made to feel welcome. Nearly everything the manager said--and, just as importantly, the way he said it--gave me the clear impression that he did not want me there. The interaction felt dismissive, uncomfortable, and very different from the hospitality I had experienced in the past. I can't speak to what was in his heart or what motivated his behavior, but I know how I was made to feel. Sometimes exclusion isn't communicated through an explicit statement; it comes through a person's tone, body language, and unwillingness to extend basic courtesy. I left without ordering and will spend my money somewhere I'm treated with respect. I hope the owners read this and take a serious look at how customers are being received under the new management.

Absolutely delicious. My go to spot for a seafood boil. And the service is always great!

The chalkboard menu

I stopped by here on a whim while in the area for a quick lunch and was not disappointed! Usually a crab boil is kind of pricey and comes as a large portion, so I was very excited to take advantage of their lunch special seafood boil. I got crab and crawfish with the garlic noodles and was very impressed with the flavors. I must say the presentation was a bit lacking as they just brought a plastic bag with food in it to the table, but that did nothing to take away from the taste. I think they're known for their all you can eat specials, which seems to be a awfully good deal! Dining area has floor to ceiling windows facing the street to let in plenty of light. A good lunch was had here and I would not hesitate to return when next in the area.

All you can eat

My wife and I have been crazy about anything Cajun. This place is at the heart of Korea town. Honestly, with the all you can eat option, and based on what things are inside, this is a deal. We went wayyy too crazy on this. But my wife and I keep coming back. The spices, the food, the gloves, it's all an experience. You've got to try it.

Seafood boil
Karen P.

If you're looking for an affordable AYCE seafood boil in Central LA, this is your best bet! For $38.99 per person, you can have unlimited shrimp, mussel, crawfish, and clams with your choice of Louisiana or lemon pepper seasoning (and you can change the spice too). On a Tuesday at 6:30pm, it wasn't too busy but seemed to get busier during our meal. Staff is attentive and come by often to refill your waters, ask if you want another round, or if you need new gloves. There is a parking structure too! When I came in July 2025, the only 1 lane access in AND out was along 6th Avenue. The exit on Virgil was closed, for some reason, which meant sometimes you had to allow the cars to get out before you can get in.

Their all you can eat is spectacular and the service is great! Also the location is very central The beer is also decently priced! Definitely need to come back

AYCE
Chloe L.

The staff were extremely friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The food was delicious, and we were very satisfied overall. We visited with my little one and the restaurant was clean and family-friendly. They also had non-spicy menu options that were great for kids, which we really appreciated.

I wasn't sure what to expect at first, especially since they don't have a liquor license. I'll be honest--I had a moment of "I don't know about this." But the second the food hit the table, all of that went out the window. The seafood was fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor, but the real surprise was the garlic noodles. As soon as those came out, I was hooked. Rich, garlicky, and absolutely addictive. One of those dishes you keep thinking about after you leave. Service was friendly, the vibe was casual, and the food more than made up for not being able to grab a drink. If you're on the fence, go for the food alone--it's worth it. I'll 100% be back.

AYCE Seafood boil (cajun mild with shrimp, crawfish, clams, mussels, corn, and potato) Garlic noodles, and fried calamari!
Danielle K.

THIS PLACE IS SO UNDERRATED. I went yesterday with my boyfriend for my birthday after a long day at Universal and we were supposed to go someplace else but somehow ended up here. We saw the reviews about a rude server and were hesitant at first BUT we gave it a try and IT WAS THE BEST DECISION EVER! We got refills of the shrimp and crawfish and corn and went to town with it! We enjoyed the food so much we forgot to take a picture. The service was amazing! The server was very attentive and constantly asked us for anything we needed plus gave us new gloves and water refills before we asked for it! The ambiance is nice and most importantly the seafood is SO FRESH AND DELICIOUS IVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT ALL DAY TODAY AT WORK! Highly recommend!!

The "fish and chips"

The fish and chips are not fresh. Everything i ordered tastes like it's been microwaved. Nothing has flavor. The coleslaw was decent but that's it.

Price increased within the last month from $34.99 to $38.99 for their all-you-can-eat combo. The AYCE (All You Can Eat) option includes unlimited servings of shrimp, clams, mussels, crawfish, corn, and potatoes. It also comes with a plate of garlic noodles and a "daily basket"--which, during my last two visits, consisted of fried chicken tenders served over a bed of French fries. When you order AYCE, you're also eligible for 50% off their crabs. You can choose your preferred spice level, but keep in mind that everyone in your party shares the seafood tray--so only one spice level is allowed per group. You also have the option to select the sauce from Louisiana, lemon pepper, or a mix of both flavors for an extra $1 per person. Honestly, I highly recommend going with the mixed--it's worth it. This has become my go-to spot whenever I'm craving a seafood boil. It's a solid deal for the price, though the seafood isn't the freshest--you can definitely tell when peeling the shrimp, but not horrible. They start you off with a tray containing a bit of everything, and you can request less of any item if you'd like. As you order more, they'll bring out a pot of freshly cooked seafood and pour it directly into your tray to keep all that sauce flavor intact. On my last visit, they added extra garlic and lemon pepper--it was absolutely AMAZING. The staff is attentive too, always checking in to offer fresh gloves or a new bin for shells, and they consistently come by when the seafood starts running low in our tray to see if we want to order more. Will be back for more!

Once a thriving fried chicken chain with…read morelocations scattered throughout LA, Pioneer Chicken is now down to just two remaining restaurants, including this longtime Boyle Heights location. For many Angelenos who grew up eating here, Pioneer Chicken holds a special place in their hearts. It's more than just fried chicken; it's a taste of their childhood! I've been wanting to check this place out for quite some time and finally got around to giving it a shot! Walking inside felt like stepping back into the 1970s! I absolutely loved the retro aesthetic, vintage advertisements, historical photographs, and iconic rotating sign outside. There's something charming about a restaurant that has preserved so much of its original character. It's easy to see why nostalgia keeps this place alive! **THE FOOD:** The employee working the register was incredibly friendly and helpful when I asked for recommendations. I ordered the **3-Piece Chicken Dinner ($14.99)**, which includes two sides and a biscuit. I was undecided about the sides, so I asked for suggestions and went with the Spicy Rice and Mashed Potatoes. **Spicy Rice:** Probably the better of the two sides. It had a nice little kick of spice and contained a few small pieces of chicken. It wasn't bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. Just okay. **Mashed Potatoes:** Unfortunately, these were a major disappointment! They were incredibly dense, and not in a good way. The texture was unpleasant, and I really didn't enjoy them. I almost always feel obligated to order mashed potatoes with fried chicken, but these weren't worth it. I wouldn't recommend them! I was also disappointed that mac and cheese wasn't offered as a side. **Fried Chicken:** Now for the main attraction, and unfortunately, the biggest disappointment! At first glance, the chicken looked promising! It had a beautiful golden-brown exterior with a thick, crispy, almost kettle-cooked-looking crust. Visually, it looked delicious! Sadly, looks can be deceiving! The chicken was **INSANELY GREASY!** I honestly lost count of how many napkins I went through. The breading was excessively thick, making it feel like I was eating more batter than actual chicken. The meat itself wasn't particularly flavorful or enjoyable either. I reached for their hot sauce, hoping it would add some much-needed flavor. While it helped slightly, it wasn't enough to save the meal. Between the excessive grease, overwhelming breading, and underwhelming meat, I just couldn't get into it. I hate wasting food, but I ended up throwing away most of the chicken and mashed potatoes because I genuinely wasn't enjoying them. **THE SERVICE & ATMOSPHERE:** Thankfully, the service and atmosphere were the highlights of my visit! The employees were polite, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. One thing I found interesting was that the credit card machine prompted customers to leave a tip. That's not something I typically encounter at fast-food chains like KFC or Popeyes. That said, I'm happy to tip when I receive good service, and the employees here certainly deserved recognition for their friendliness. One of my favorite discoveries was the pair of old-school, coin-operated baseball pinball games! For just a quarter, you get to try hitting a home run by landing the ball in the hole. The best part? Regardless of whether you succeed, you still win a bouncy ball! I absolutely loved this little attraction! The employees were even happy to break my dollar into quarters so I could play. It's these little touches that make visiting a nostalgic establishment like Pioneer Chicken special. I also enjoyed looking through the old photographs and advertisements documenting the chain's history. There's something fascinating about seeing how a once-popular LA institution has evolved while holding on to its identity. **FINAL THOUGHTS:** From a food standpoint, Pioneer Chicken was a **2/5 experience** for me. The chicken was excessively greasy, the breading overwhelmed the meat, and the sides were disappointing. For a restaurant built around fried chicken, I expected much better. However, I'm bumping my overall rating to **3/5 stars** because of the friendly service, wonderful nostalgia, and preserved retro atmosphere. I think Pioneer Chicken is one of those places where the emotional connection is stronger than the food itself. People come here to relive childhood memories and experience a piece of LA history that has largely disappeared. I'm genuinely happy Pioneer Chicken is still around, keeping its legacy alive for longtime fans and curious first-time visitors like myself. I'm glad I finally experienced this iconic LA institution, but unfortunately, the food didn't live up to its nostalgic charm. **Would I return?** Sadly, probably not. While I loved the atmosphere and appreciated the employees, the chicken simply wasn't good enough to bring me back.
