    Steamed smoked duck. Delicate and moist.
    Michael Y.

    If you love raw marinated Korean crab in soy sauce and you don't want to drive to K-town, now here is a good GG option. They only use good sized female blue crabs for the dish. I love it accented with their fragrant sesame oil on top of a hot bowl of rice. The delicate contents on the inside of the shell is so rich and full of umami flavor. The gochujung version is also delicious. It is not too salty and resides at an easy to enjoy level of spiciness. The steamed duck dish was definitely more than a 1-2 person portion advertised on the menu which justifies the $89 price. I was too full by the time it was ready to eat and it got overpowered by the crab dishes but it was a great meal later that night. The service is prompt and attentive. We will definitely be back.

    This place is located in the side of Hmart. This place has a lot of seats and typically not busy. Had a wide range of Korean food. I went here for the raw marinated crabs which were good. I've tried the soy marinated crab but felt that the portions are really small. My fav here was the spicy raw marinated crabs and corn cheese. I tried their galbi and monk fish but it was okay. I felt some dishes could be marinated better or longer. The fish would have the sauce outside but the actually fish was plain. I also felt like none of the dishes I had were spicy.I do think there potential but wish the dishes had a more impactful taste.

    My husband and I ordered Hinoki steam smoked duck& beef and spicy marinated raw crab. We were both very impressed !! Everything tasted so yummy and healthy including their side dishes. Also, the owner of the restaurant was super nice and genuine. I hope this restaurant sticks around for a longgg time:)

    Great place for marinated raw crab either with soy sauce or spicy. We got both crabs and the duck. The banchans were great and the portion sizes generous. We had lots of left overs to take home. This is a new restaurant with lots of space and very clean. We hope to come back soon to try the other menu items. Lots of parking out front cause it's in the HMart center. Everything was delicious. Happy Yelping!

    Gopchang, daechange is what has me coming back for more. I love how it includes rice balls with it. After we eat about two of the rice balls, I regret not saving it and making fried rice with the leftover gopchang and daechange. One day when I'm there I shall remember. Bossam was really good. I love how it was presented in a wooden box. It says to leave it close so it can steam for a certain amount of time (I forgot), but I suggest not going by the time they say. I would steam it for less because the veggies were overcooked. Other than that, it was really good It's a small place and this place gets busy. I noticed a lot of to go orders too. They are that good. While there, when one group leaves, another shows up at a perfect time to take it up.

    Food is pretty good. We ordered the army stew, grilled abalone, soy sauce raw marinated crab, and the hinoki steam beef brisket and it was all good. My fav was the steamed beef and the army stew. The side dishes are also all so good, we kept getting refills! Inside of the restaurant is pretty big and spacious and service was great when we came! Little on the pricier side, but will probably be back again because the food was good! Was so hungry that I forgot to take pictures before..

    kal guksu
    Caitlin K.

    If you get the marinated crabs, I highly recommend getting the kal guksu too! The crab was absolutely delicious. Not too salty but salty enough for it to be perfectly paired with rice! 2 crabs fed all 3 people in my party. After eating the crab, I ordered the kal guksu and its cold and clear broth was an amazing way to end the meal. It's a little vinegary so it really cleans your taste buds after. They lived up to their name because the banchan was absolutely extraordinary! I love authentic korean restaurants that put so much love and care into the side dishes as well. My favorite was the steamed cabbage with the soybean paste because it's really unique to this place and you don't normally see them at other places. The potato salad was so exquisite as well! I love how much apples were in it making it salty and sweet and crunchy! My mouth is watering thinking about going back!

    Samgyetang(Chicken Soup) with Black Ginseng
    Christina V.

    This ma and pa like shop restaurant, is absolutely delicious and tasty in every way! My partner and I have come and eaten here at least once a week since they've opened bc of how good is it! From their spicy marinated crab, to their kalguksu, chicken ginseng, and various side dishes, we always leave SO satisfied and filled!! The owner is always so respectful and polite. It truly feels like you're being taken cared of and the food comes out in a timely manner as well! Please come and show support if you're in the area!

    Everything was delicious. banchan -delicious. Spicy seasoned raw marinated crabs - Incredible. Tea - so soothing. Soup - Perfection. Rice - it was GOOD rice. Service - excellent! I could have finished everything because it was that good, but I decided to take my leftover crab and a half to go. My conscience told me to give my tummy a break. My brain and heart insisted that I should come back to try the rest of the menu. (For once, they actually agree on something!) I came for dinner on Thursday around 7:45pm and I was the only person there. If you can, support this business!

    The food here is absolutely delicious! I came here as a party of four. We ordered the brisket and duck with an extra order of brisket and the soy marinated crabs just 2. This was my first time having marinated crabs and it was amazing!!! The duck was also delicious. Perfectly steamed cooked and I'll probably won't want it cooked any other way. The service was really good even though it was only 3 person staff at the time. The sign on the door says grand opening is Nov 4 so I guess it was still soft opening when I went. I hope it doesn't get too crowded to the point there's a long wait but the food is so amazing I wouldn't be surprised if it does become really popular. I would definitely recommend this place.

    The service was attentive. Well they are new and we are their 2nd table. Food is very delicious. I found my OC soy marinated crab, I don't have to drive to LA Vermont no more. Oh did I mention their bancha are really tasty I can tell it's on the higher quality bancha.

    The place popped up as new with good review so I decided to try! I tried the Hoinooo steam beef brisket and it was really good! Worth trying and me and my wife got good service.

    I recommended this seafood market to my daughter when she was planning a sushi night with her…read moreroommate, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. She went in looking for sushi-grade salmon, and she couldn't be happier with the quality. The salmon was incredibly fresh, healthy-looking, and full of flavor. She prepared a few different dishes with it, including sushi cuts and a spicy salmon bowl, and both turned out absolutely delicious. It's always nice to find a place you can trust for quality seafood, especially when it's being used for raw dishes like sushi. Highly recommend this market for anyone looking for fresh, high-quality fish.

    I'd round my 4.5 up to a 5. The owners were incredibly kind and took the time to answer all of our…read morequestions from how best to enjoy the fish to explaining what they currently had in stock. We ordered the toro, tuna, salmon, and yellowtail and I can definitely see myself coming back here often. If I'm being completely honest, the toro didn't quite meet my expectations, which is the only reason I hesitated to give it a perfect score. That said, the salmon and especially the yellowtail were outstanding, it was fresh, flavorful, and everyone enjoyed it. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try the shrimp or scallop next time. Currently most items are frozen but I hope they can offer some fresh options to better enjoy day off and smaller quantities (half pounds) so I can buy a little bit of everything. Anyways our sushi night at home that fed three people to the brim was around ~90 and was a success thanks to D&D seafood

    It's been about 7 years since my initial review for Oc & Lau Restaurant & here I am, still coming…read morehere religiously whenever my fam and I are in town. If that bit of consistency doesn't speak volumes I don't know what will. Oc & Lau specializes in Vietnamese street food and essentially works in family style dining. Everything is brought out in platters & large bowls where food is shared amongst the table. The menu is filled with Vietnamese salads, snails, assortment of seafoods, rice, noodles, and hotpot. Vegetarian options are available. As if the menu isn't extensive enough, there is a whole section of drinks- alcoholic & non alcoholic. Must haves: *COCONUT ESCARGOT w/ BASIL LEAVES *GRILLED GARLIC BUTTER ESCARGOT *GRILLED RAZOR CLAMS IN GARLIC BUTTER & PEPPERCORNS *GRILLED RAZOR CLAMS IN TAMARIND SAUCE *SALT & PEPPER SQUID *SPICY GRILLED CHICKEN FEET *RARE BEEF SALAD *DEEP FRIED QUAIL IN BUTTER HOUSE SAUCE *GARLIC BUTTER QUEEN CLAMS The food is authentic and genuinely great! Ingredients are always fresh and the quality is on point. My complaints stem from the restaurant ALWAYS being "sold out" of the razor clams and the stir fried basil clams coming out soupy and off tasting to what they normally should taste like. Not too big of a deal once you factor in all the other great qualities Oc & Lau has. The pricing is costly and the portions can be small depending on what you are ordering. Things add up quite quickly since my family and I eat to get stuffed. Lmao. 5/5 stars because a trip to LA isn't a trip to LA without visiting O&L!!! I'll forever be a fan!!

    Louisiana Creole Approved!!!!…read more Wow, just wow. There were a few other things I was not able to photograph because everyone was so excited about the food it got snatched up. Lol My mother was in town, and I told her about a place that has creole cuisine. Being born and raised in Louisiana, my mom has a very strong opinion on southern cooking. She ordered a cup of a the seafood gumbo and was blown away. My mom has never liked any restaurants gumbo outside of the south. However, this fine establishment was the first to win her seal of approval. Everything was well seasoned and absolutely divine. We ordered several entrées like the gumbo, steamed oysters, French bread and butter, kids chicken tenders, H0use, lobster, blackened catfish, beignets, margarita, strawberry lemonade and a Moscow mule. The food was great. The service was good. The atmosphere was peaceful. There were so many great menu items. It was hard to choose so I guess that means we'll have to continue to keep going back so we can try everything.

    Another date-night experience…read more My wife and I have a number of hometown favorite places to eat with friends and family. My wife also has a little phrase she likes to use on Friday mornings as we wrap up a busy week of work, family, home projects, and other commitments. She will inevitably turn to me, smile, and say, "Where are you taking me for dinner tonight?" Sometimes we enjoy returning to those familiar places where you can always count on a good meal, attentive service, and a comfortable setting. But this Friday, I was thinking, maybe not. How about a place with a menu that was a little unique to the Southern California community, but not necessarily international fare? That's when I came across Roux Seafood Kitchen. I always check the interior and exterior photos before trying a new restaurant because my wife notices things that I would never even think about or care about. For example, she immediately noticed the oyster shells as we walked to the door and the double glass doors as we left the restaurant. Both earned her seal of approval. The dining room and bar area were orderly, classy, and appeared clean and polished. This place was going to make the grade. I made reservations through the website's chat feature and received a prompt response, so we were set for the evening. We were greeted warmly at the door and escorted to a table with a "Reserved" sign on it. A corner booth by the window--perfect. The service was attentive throughout the evening. At least four different servers stopped by to check on us during the meal, and whenever we requested something, it arrived quickly. Every member of the staff was pleasant, engaging, and personable. As many other reviewers have noted, there are similarities to New Orleans-style cuisine. We, too, were reminded of the flavors and Cajun-inspired epicurean dining experiences we've enjoyed in the past. We topped off the evening with warm, sweet beignets covered in powdered sugar. It was a wonderful dinner and a pleasant evening, with just a little taste of Bourbon Street on Beach Boulevard.
