This is a nice little gem in our community. The staff was really nice, pleasant. I got the Cajun special, which came with the half pounds of shrimp head off, A crab leg, 3 potatoes in one coin, I added an extra corn. My cousin got mozzarella sticks, fried oysters, sweet potato fries, fried shrimp and regular fries and crab cakes the food was good and tasty. The place was clean a little dark and I'm not sure if they have a restroom. Other than that, I would go back

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.

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!

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

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!

First time here and I am happy to say I absolutely loved it! Parking may be difficult on weekends…read more There's street parking or public parking (tiny) right across the restaurant. The service is top tier, servers are very well mannered and friendly. Inside is a cozy vibe with multiple tv turned on to sports channel. I loved their booth seating it was unique and cute. We tried their Oysters: the size isn't that big but they're fresh and delicious. Salmon: wow their seasoning was so good! And their spinach side was exceptional. Desserts: not the best, you may skip. (Still a 5 star bc this is not a dessert shop) Overall I would definitely come back whenever I crave some good seafood dish!

We easily destroyed 2 dozens. +if you like oyster Rockefeller, would recommend paying the $3 up charge and order it. It's definitely solid and worth it! +peruvian scallop is good--it's dressed in Asian inspired dressing and it felt like I was eating Thai food. Scallops are fresh and we enjoyed it. +calamari was also a solid order. Batter is crispy but thinly coated and the calamari itself was tender and delicious. +lobster Mac & cheese was good but I don't think I'll order it again. It was comforting at first but the sauce got water-y midway through. -grilled oysters - we weren't a big fan of this one. It tasted like oysters in bbq sauce and we could do it without them next time. A true gem in MB. We'll try to be back more often!

Coni Seafood is such a great stop if you're heading home from the airport and need a quick bite…read more This location has always served us well! 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. Still a good dish, just a little mishap this time around.

Even a little sweet (from jicama maybe?). So good. We had the Garlic Shrimp with rice and the Sea Bass. Hot damn. So tasty. The shrimp dish could have been a little bit hotter (temperature wise) but all and all it was good. I think one server handled the whole dining room and patio on his own with a busser or two. He was awesome! Great service and big Lemonades. No alcohol at this location, but they do sell beer and wine at the Inglewood location! I've heard a lot about this place and I'm glad we finally checked it out.

Okay, so this is unfortunately only my second time coming here, and now that I may be moving to…read moreNYC, I seriously wish I'd made it to Tangaroa more often during my 5+ years in LA. This place is such a gem! The menu is on point. From the octopus salad to what might be the best Peruvian ceviche I've had since actually being in Peru, and the best part, it's all incredibly fresh and sourced from New Zealand; this place is a must-try. And considering LA prices and the quality and freshness of seafood coming all the way from New Zealand, the price point is actually really great. The service is also amazing. Clark is incredibly knowledgeable about the menu (and just great in general). You can also order platters to go ...they'll prep and shuck everything for you, or provide everything you need to do it yourself, which is my preferred route since I actually love shucking my own. Net-net: an LA gem and an absolute must-try. And then probably try again...and again. Enjoy!

I walked in at 2 and it was empty but it was open so I opted to sit outside where there was a breeze. I ordered the lobster reef SVB and it was decent. I also ordered the tuna crispy rice, I wasn't expecting that much tuna on top of it. Also it wasn't like the many other crispy rice I had. If you're not completely comfortable with eating this amount of raw tuna, with zero sauce on it...I would skip it. But it was a generous portion. Ordered the mussels with extra garlic bread ($4.95) I knew I wasn't going to finish it but I love garlic bread for my curry sauce. The mussles itself was pretty big. Bigger than some places I have ordered at. The curry sauce was underwhelming for me. I seek out places that offers mussles without the traditional garlic white wine sauce. Curry is usually the 2nd option in most places. Although it had curry flavor. Something was missing. Maybe some spice or something. But I also love bolder flavors, so it might be perfect for everyone else. Overall, I got to try this place since it's been on my list. My bill was about $95 before tip. Street parking only, it would be difficult during dinner rush since there are several hot spots aceoss the street.

Our waiter was very attentive at the beginning, but his attentiveness noticeably declined as the evening went on, and we increasingly felt neglected. There were also multiple instances where things we requested were forgotten. We ordered sorbet but it never came. When we eventually asked about it, our waiter said he thought we had decided not to get dessert, even though we had ultimately ordered it. 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.
