A seafood boil place, with many more options, from BBQ to Thai food! Come by!
Overall, my family and I had a good time here. The portions are large, and most of us ordered the fish and chips and leftovers. My favorite thing was the Cajun fries. The spice blend combined with their frying method made for a crunchy exterior with a soft interior that didn't need additional sauces. The fish was good and also fried well. Our server was great and quick to help.
This restaurant is truly exceptional! What truly sets it apart is Tustin, who works there. He always greets guests with a warm smile, instantly making you feel welcome. His genuine respect for everyone adds to the inviting atmosphere, and his friendly demeanor makes each visit enjoyable. The food is outstanding, bursting with flavor and expertly prepared, paired with service that is unmatched in Hollywood, CA. I highly recommend this place; you'll have a fantastic experience that will leave you utterly satisfied and eager to return
This seafood boil was one of the best I’ve ever had.
They do use a lot of garlic in their sauce, which I loved, but you may not.
Do NOT get their Thai Food (Yellow / Red Curry). It was very bad.
Just wish they had bigger bibs and cleaned their shrimp better
Yes & Yes the BEST flavor bomb, full of delicious Cajun Seasoning Seafood Bag we come across so far.
We recommend:
1. Shrimp, 1 Lobster Tail, 2 Dungeness Crab, potatoes & corn with Mild Garlic Butter Sauce in 1 Bag.
2. Shrimp, Crawfish, 2 Dungeness Crab, potatoes & corn with Mild Garlic Butter Sauce in 1 Bag.
3. 3 Side's of Garlic Butter Sauces to dip Seafood in.
We 1st discover this spot 10 years ago & returned back to the exact same spot again. The workers were so friendly & kept our drinks (Coke, Raspberry Tea & 2 Waters) filled. They provided paper plates, plastic forks, crab cracker & bibs. Our order didn't take long to get to us. We got so much Seafood in 1 bag it was Seafood Heaven. We each ordered what we wanted & requested our Seafood to be in 1 bag. So we got 2 bags mixed with the Mild Garlic Butter Sauce. It was slightly spicy but we got 3 Garlic Butter Sauce's on the side to tone down the spice by dipping in the Seafood.
After we ate they gave us togo cups for our drinks. Between the ladies & men's bathroom there is a station to wash your hands. The bathrooms were clean & accessible.
We did our best to capture our experience by pictures & video but it doesn't do justice, so we recommend you try this place out 100%. You won't be disappointed!
Food was amazing will definitely come back and the service was excellent. Would recommend a thousand times.

Very good flavor. I drive from san fernando valley only for this food. Place looks litle dirty. For sure need more clean and need more atenccion of the owner to repairs.. close to early!!

Most fire 🔥 in la killing boiling crab and stinking crawfish this ones my new favorite and a must try
Food was very delicious. Great service and staff friendly.
This seafood boil was one of the best I’ve ever had.
They do use a lot of garlic in their sauce, which I loved, but you may not.
Do NOT get their Thai Food (Yellow / Red Curry). It was very bad.
Just wish they had bigger bibs and cleaned their shrimp better
Awesome food and beer I love this place so convinced.
I got the fried shrimp basket. The Cajun fries were delicious. The fried shrimp were store bought, nothing special, but the food was hot .
Shimps and crab legs were goooood
fried calamari was meh... no crunch
i love the food so much and we didn’t have to wait long. definitely coming back here
Friendly and serves up delicious food. 😋
I sure do love shrimp 🦐🍤 💕
Absolutely love this place! The food is lovely and the staff are so approachable and kind! Can’t wait to go back next year!
We ordered through Door Dash delivery. My oyster po’boy was small but stuffed with oysters and very filling. I could only eat half. My husband was very happy with his beef and rice. He’s hard to please!
Will definitely be coming back, great food & great service.
Fried food done nicely but it's the stuff you can buy at Costco. The curry was good but the pad see was sticky and without any sauce. The clam chowder was a Thai thom yum that visited New England and tried its best but isn't that great.
I always come here to enjoy the shrimp, (Indian spice, peeled, medium spice), and they are always wonderful. The service is simple but friendly, and the shrimp are always fresh. (You WILL need a bib and maybe gloves! I love it!) Enjoy!
Great experience and delicious food
Najlepsze koryto w całym LA, byłem tam ładnych parę lat temu, a ciągle o nim myślę :)
Very good food here. Everything was fresh and beer was excellent.
The food was great. I like the location and the ambience. Vibes well with my appetite!!!
Not one for seafood but this the best fish and chips, chicken fried rice, shrimp I've ever had. I would definitely come back. The front of house was very friendly and attentive .
Very very disappointed.
to be fair, the shrimp that my wife and son ordered were great. However the fish & chip was the worst ever. I mean unbleavably awful; the fish was old, it may have been from the night before.
Sadly disappointed, the ribs was very very tough to eat, fries were ok. Garlic noodles w/ shrimp was flavorless. Had to go home and revamp them with a plethora of seasonings. Not worth $40
Good service and you can split a combo if you're on a budget. If you're not good with spicy make sure to get mild or less because it has a kick to it. Cute atmosphere. They give you little bibs and over the table cause it's messy. You might want to uber over because parking is difficult over here even when it's not busy. All the food we tried tasted good. Clams had a little grit but otherwise good food.
I'm so full right now... it was delicious thank you !
I nice
Good food and great, prompt service.

If you want a hole-in-the-wall, tasty, reasonably priced seafood boil, this is your spot. Your sauce will be buttery, your order will come quickly, and your seafood will be enjoyable. Don't be afraid to get the hottest spice level -- it's quite tolerable.
My food is a little simple, in my order I added utensils and they didn't send anything
I have given 3 stars ⭐️ because I had to get up from my table to go get the server twice for me to get utensils and stuff to eat my food with.
Other than that the best seafood boil and ice cold beer. I love the garlic bread but it’s expensive for 4 slices of bread $7.99!!
Anyway I’ve been coming in here for quite some time. Place is chill kid friendly comfy seats and outdoor patio area is the best.
First time eating here, the food was delicious! Besides that great customer service my server Tustin was really nice.
I wanted to love this place but did not. My family didn’t either. The fried rice was abysmal. It was literally plain WHITE RICE stirred up with some veggies. Talk about disappointing. Furthermore, the seafood boil wasn’t great…the seasoning lacked. The best thing on the menu was the fried oysters and fries but the sauce options were lacking for that dish as well.
I come to this restaurant several times a week throughout the year and I have to say that this is the best restaurant in California. and it is the best, because professionals in their field work here. they are attentive and kind. always smiling. it is the only restaurant in California with such a staff. I will continue to come here. You have the best food and the best prices.
Best hole in the wall place
Title fits exactly!
One of the best little restaurants in east Hollywood for sure! The peeled shrimp pot with garlic butter and potatoes and corn is sooo delicious
I love how they have $4 beers and the servers are all very nice!
There’s indoor and outdoor seating, and the ambiance is so chill
Stickers on the walls, cool lights everywhere
Def a fun place to go to munch out!
Shrimp lovers
This has been our go to spot for years. I fly back into Los Angeles and my son and daughter-in-love take me here with my daughter. Tonight was soo disappointing they have literally price gauged with charging for every single thing (and without informing the customer). We were charged for butter after ordering the largest bucket (why wouldn’t a butter come with a $65.99 bucket with crab?). We were charged for peeling shrimp (he asked if we wanted it, without conveying a cost). We were charged for an additional Thai tea and not until we called because they didn’t bring it to us did they call did they confirm they didn’t give it to us. Our bill is usually over $200 and you would have to to literally over charge us? It’s so upsetting when a business receives your loyalty - ongoing and they do this.
Good
Always a great experience 🍾🥂💪🏾🎯
An interesting restaurant that was introduced to me by sheer luck. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and sheer amount of seafood options that were offered in this place. The shrimp and mussels were delicious in combination with their homemade sauce. I would wholeheartedly recommend trying the food if you enjoy seafood and are fine with casual dining.
One of my favorite restaurants! The best seafood boil. Been coming here & ordering online here. Superb!
I was there to n 2021 and I absolutely love the food. Yea, I recommend this place!
Definitely go here!!! AMAZING food, friendly staff, and they are extremely accommodating to allergies and diet restrictions
Best Seafood boiled in LA.
I Like this intimate restaurant, they give you a good portion of food, n oh, you can hit up yo hood on they wall wit a marker.🤪 Sustain Killer Shrimp.
They messed up on my order and when I went back to try and see if they can fix it they told me no gave me muscles which I dont eat plus I gave them a tip the server was very rude plus I'm a loyal customer probably won't be back
Recomended
Overall good experience excellent food. Will visit again
the seafood there is top shelf , Great service great staff , and very helpful.
Thank you shrimp lover staff. ทำสิ่งที่คุณกำลังทำต่อไป ขอบคุณ แล้วพบกันใหม่ครั้งหน้า 🤗☺️
Service was great and friendly!! Shrimp was out of this world 🌍 good!!
Me encanta el lugar.
My go to spot for Cajun shrimp. Ever since Boiling Crab got busier, I couldn't stand the long wait times. Shrimp lover satisfies my craving for seafood with minimal wait time. I recommend this place for anyone who enjoys Cajun style seafood!
I loved this place when I was younger. it's still pretty good, but growing older I noticed everything is really salty. the wings this time around were a little overdone in the fryer too, not as plump or juicy as I remember them to be. still, as far as thai cajun shrimp boils go, this is still better than a lot of the others.
Love the concept! delicious food. Not too expensive
THIS IS MY FAVORITE PLACE TO GO FOR ANY SPECIAL DAY. ESPECIALLY DURING MY PREGNANCY. LOOOOOOVE IT.
The Ladies Were So Nice To Us.. Our Food Was Perfect!! Very Beautiful Environment To Eat At🙏🏾🙏🏾
The seafood is bomb!
Love this place never disappoints!!! This place is a must
Hands down better then other competitors it is extremely flavourful......!!!!!! Must try.
I wasn't happy with my to go order today. I ordered 1lb shrimp and they only put it in plastic bags no box container like they use to. I also asked for side hot sauce, eating utensils and gloves and none of those items were given to me.
It was a cheap looking presentation. There are other places right up the street that can do better. I won't be back for a while.
The Shrimp & the mussels we're great.... The crawfish sucked(not in a good way either😉
This place is a must! Love the medley spicy flavors here, were always greeted with a smile and great service, the food flavors are consistently phenomenal I recommend the garlic bread (yummmm) usually no wait time to be seated this is my go to shrimp spot in los Angeles and Hollywood area, highly recommended the done in experience is a plus.
Best pad Thai in town and the crab legs are bomb. Calamari too!
My wife order fried shrimp a double order . First the shrimp was not fried. We ordered French fries with the order. No French fries . I called to encounter a rude stupid individual. I strongly suggest to find another Cajun seafood restaurant. This was far below any standard , The order taker on the phone seemly had less than average English speaking skills to understand an order. Let alone take an order correctly. Ver straight don’t stop at Shrimp lovers. . Huge disappointment .
One of the greatest most memorable places I've ever eaten! 🦐♡
I got their medley squid for to-go. And it tasted really really tasty. Happy that I have such a good seafood restaurant nearby. Might try the other seafood next time! Definitely recommended
Favorite restaurant very good service good music very good food they play old school rnb or rnb I really love the fires, the garlic bread, the shrimps
The food was good but I got a lil mad cause I got there before other people and they took care of the people that got there after me and then me .. Anyways it was good
Muy deliciosa la comida y muy buen servicio
Muy buen sabor, el lugar es un poco loco pero el sabor muy bueno!
El local parece tenebroso por fuera. Por dentro tiene una decoración perturbadora (graffitis). Pero la atención es de primera y la comida es deliciosa.
Delicious!!!!
It's not for everyone but I like it.
Very good
This place is the chill spot on the hollywood; Thai strip. Grub. Brewskies* Chill. Great hosts. Excellent fresh seafood! Yummy yummy donuts, thai style!!!
Game flat screens for that game!
Triple gem blessings!
Amazing food. Looking forward to going again. Kid friendly.
I love this place It's one of my favorite seafood places ever!
Very good and tasty. The garlic bread is a little pricey because it seems to be the frozen kind you find at a grocery store
Server was very patient & friendly. I had the yellow shrimp curry with fried rice & my friend got the Thai fried rice with chicken, & seafood. Both were delicious! They serve beer & wine. There is a covered Patio
Wait to long,
Fish combo plate the Fish was to dry and not fresh. Bad choice.
Excellent service, tasty food. One of the best seafood restaurant in los angeles.
We really enjoyed ourselves. Impeccable customer service. The food was delicious. The servings were hefty-- for boils*
No good service. Long wait for order
So good.
Very good, definitely going back!
The food was cold and the spice level was wrong on 3 of the 4 orders we placed. They took our food back to warm it up but it being seafood by the time the food came back out it was over cooked. Very disappointed in our experience....
Awesome seafood and Thai food. Pad see yew to die for.
Best Alaskan crab legs I've ever had in my life if you want Real Seafood go here
Discovered this place delivering for others. What a gem! The 'spicy' shrimp was too spicy for me the first time, so i got the chili on the side the next 👌 ordered it with extra corn bc who doesn't love buttered garlic corn? 😋 Also got the Tom Kha with chicken & it was very good with lots of mushrooms 🍄 tomatoes 🍅 & chicken, but a teeny bit heavy on the tomato. Drunken noodles with pork was tasty & had plenty of pork, although the pork was a teeny bit tough/overdone. Thai iced tea was good too. Not very photogenic (so I didn't take any) 🤷♀️ Plenty of parking & fast friendly service despite being pretty busy
Great food
The food was so good ...but the place needs to be cleaning No for The graffity but for the floors and bathrooms
If you are a shrimp lover & haven't been there , trust me you are missing a lot .
Nope I didn’t go there. I went to my dentist next door. 😁😁😜
It was small and personal. The food was awesome and filling. The social distancing was on point enough personal space, no hard liquor just beer and wine but it quenched the thirst for mild seasoning. The waiter was worth the tip he stayed focused as busy as it was and it was only one person on the floor.
They have the best fries I've ever tasted. They even beat McDonald's fries. I had the fried shrimp platter that came with fries.
Awesome customer service...very conmftarble been coming here for 12 yrs
Good service, friendly staff and quick good food.
My first time trying the shrimps and I couldn’t stop eating it definitely coming back 😍🥰🥰😍🥰🥰🥰
