    I was in the Ladera Heights shopping complex and remembered a friend really talking this place up! I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Ramen with lemon pepper and garlic and butter seasoning. I got a 12 oz of the clamp chowder and I also got the fried shrimp with fries. My total was 45,47 something. (I cannot recall final amount). I must say, the food is very, very tasty.. The soup is filling and nicely seasoned. I love the thickness. It's a complete meal. The ramen is delicious and reminds me of the garlic noodles at Beverly Hills Crustaceans. The fried shrimp and fries were nicely prepared and I enjoyed those as well. Don't sleep on this place. Parking is ample and this food is jamming. I will return.

    came here on a sunday evening with one other person and there was no wait. I thought that was a bit telling since I'm used to seeing long lines for seafood boil spots around dinner time... some more people came in as we ate but it never got crowded (about 4 parties in the restaurant at once max). the waitress got us seated right away and took our orders promptly. we got the #1 shrimp star family combo with 2lbs of crawfish for the choice of 2 in mild full house sauce. you could also get the shrimp peeled for a few extra bucks which my friend opted for but they did not look as appetizing as when the shell is on imo. when it came out, it didn't look very saucy and we were able to ask for extra sauce on the side. the sauce wasnt super flavorful but mostly oily and spicy. I usually love crawfish but it did not taste nor feel fresh from here. I'm sure it was frozen but it didnt say that on the menu. the pieces were very small and the texture was dry. everything was quite mediocre and we thought it was around the same price for boiling crab, but with lower quality food. we would have much rather waited in the long line at boiling crab if it meant our taste buds would be happy. if you're really craving seafood boil and in the area, this isn't a bad option but I don't think it was good enough to satisfy my craving.

    The food was okay. I think boiling point is still the best seafood boil. The place was empty, so we got seated instantly. The seafood was fresh, I didn't get sick. The crab wasn't mushy and still had integrity. I feel like the flavor of the sauce could use more work. It wasn't impactful enough. The gumbo was pretty good though. Try it, if you do come here

    I was told about this place from a relative. I've already been to Star Crab about 3 times in the last month so that should say something. The service here is great, very attentive and friendly staff. The Cajun special is the way to go if you're not planning on sharing; snow crab legs, peeled shrimp, 1 corn and potatoes. I have yet to try the other items but as of right now this is my to go spot!

    Seafood boil flavor is top tier! I didn't want to waste a drop of it. We did order 2 different soups and those tasted very bland. Free parking and huge booth areas to sit! We arrived at the perfect time and were seated right away. Within about 10 minutes 6 more parties had come in and waited to be seated lol. Timing is everything. Service was friendly!

    Foods pretty good and nicely seasoned. I usually order Full House/Spicy, delicious! Service has gotten better since opening. Usually not too crowded, I've never had to wait. I'll definitely return, conveniently located! Super casual, nautical theme, no need to dress up!

Parking is a bit tight, with only one spot in the back and limited street parking, so keep that in mind. They do have a small patio outside, though, which was really nice to sit on and enjoy the breeze. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of the whole fried tilapia, but take my word for it--it's a MUST if you're in the mood for cooked fish. The outside is perfectly crispy while the inside stays flaky and tender. It comes with fresh cucumber and Spanish rice with corn, which is a great complement to the simplicity of the whole fried fish. But if there's one thing that sets them apart and is an absolute MUST TRY, it's the Aquachile. The balance of citrus and spice is perfect. The raw shrimp practically melts in your mouth as it soaks up all that delicious sauce. Seriously...my mouth is watering just thinking about it. We also tried the Mango Ceviche, which was good overall, but unfortunately the cucumbers were a little bitter, which threw off the flavor for me.

I've heard a lot about this place and I'm glad we finally checked it out.

People joke about Chipotle skimping on portions, but this California Fish Grill takes it to another level. I honestly thought it had to be a mistake, so I went back inside to ask. The employee told me it wasn't a mistake; "this shouldn't be right but that's how they sell it". He offered to make me another cup but his coworker told him to make me wait for more chicken. It doesn't take that long to get another four pieces of chicken ready so I left. All their protein bowls are like this, I'm done supporting this scam.

It was cooked exactly how I wanted it, with a nice seared exterior and a tender, flavorful center. For the side, I got the lobster mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were creamy and rich, and the lobster added another layer of flavor that paired really well with the steak. The hospitality was amazing. Kept asking how was everything.

At the end of dinner, we also asked to have our mashed potatoes packed with our leftovers, and those were forgotten as well. At times, it felt like decisions were being made for us rather than simply following what we had asked for. Unfortunately, I also developed significant stomach pain and diarrhea shortly after leaving the restaurant. I had eaten the oysters that evening, although I can't say with certainty what caused my symptoms. For how much we spent, the overall experience was disappointing and left a bad taste in my mouth. The ambiance was nice and the food was good, but unfortunately the service overshadowed both and put a damper on what was supposed to be a special anniversary dinner.
