New favorite seafood boil place. Their special where you can order 4 lbs of anything and get all you can eat snow crab garlic noodles is amazing. Definitely get a side of rice too, to soak up all of the flavors. The service was lightning fast despite it being super busy, and the ambiance is clean and sleek. Would love to come back for a special occasion. read more

First off the servers are so friendly and greet you. The place looks so clean yet inviting. Was my first time but my wife had been there before. She loved it so we went. The boil is amazing but the wings are so good and flavorful and their French fries were so crunchy and good. read more

Amazing! We had a great server. She helped make my boyfriend's birthday dinner special. They brought us a cute lil dessert, she timed it a little early but he definitely got a good surprise off it haha. The food was so good 10/10 as well! We were visiting So Cal and I was impressed with the flavors. Crawfish was frozen but still delicious. The shrimp and crawfish tasted clean, it didn't have any taste of bitterness or dirt. Will definitely come back when we are in the area. It was a great vibe overall, very happy with how dinner went. read more

We had such a great experience at Cap't Loui! Our server Melanie was amazing. We were definitely a little needy and had quite a few requests, but she was so patient, attentive, and friendly the entire time. She made sure we had everything we needed and never made us feel like we were bothering her. Her customer service was excellent and she really made our experience that much better. Thank you, Melanie! We'll definitely be back! read more

I found Cap't Loui on TikTok while looking for affordable seafood boils, and the combo deals convinced me to try it. The experience was just okay for me. The main issue was the crawfish--we weren't told they ran out of live and were given frozen instead. For ~$20 a pound, the frozen crawfish had an unpleasant aftertaste and very little flavor. The fries were crispy but on the sweeter side, which I personally didn't enjoy. On the positive side, the space is nice and spacious, service is fast, and food comes out quickly. Parking in Koreatown wasn't too bad either. Overall, I wouldn't come back, but I can see why others might like it. read more

The business owner responded to my original review and said that their current promo is for 4lb+ seafood which is a lie. See photo where their promo starts at 2lb seafood. We had also gotten the promo at 2lb but they wouldn't give it to us with the 3lb when we ordered an additional lb of shrimp. read more

Cap't Loui Seafood Boil - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came back after my first visit in February, and they've definitely gotten way more popular since their grand opening. The wait on a Tuesday night was around 30-40min. The good news is they still have solid deals, especially on Tuesdays with promos like $1 oysters, so it's still a pretty affordable seafood boil spot. Compared to my first visit though, this one didn't hit the same. Back in February, I would've rated it closer to a 9/10 because the food felt like such a steal -- we got the 4 lb combo, 3 sides, fries, a free snow crab cluster, and unlimited garlic noodles for around $115 with tax and tip included. The boil sauce was good, service was great. This time, I'd say it was more of an 8/10. The food was still decent, but the boil tasted more just okay, came cold and not as memorable as before. Service also felt a little weird this visit, very inattentive and for our boil takeout (to-go leftovers), the guy just gave us an extra clear trash bag to carry everything out in?? It worked, but it was kind of random. He could have offered a carrying bag for it... It made the experience so underwhelming. Overall, still a good deal and worth going for the promos, but my grand opening visit was definitely the better experience. read more

My daughter was celebrating her sweet 16 and wanted a seafood boil. We found Cap't Loui on yelp and they did not disappoint. The best seafood boil in SoCal. Our server Tara was amazing, our party was 9 people and it was our first time. She was very patient and very knowledgeable about menu. She knew the spice levels very well and help accommodate our versions allergies. Everything was fresh, good and so flavorful. We got the shrimp, crawfish, mussels, and snow crab and I can't decide what was best because it was all amazing. The crawfish size was bigger than most places I've been. The flavors you could taste and it wasn't just salty. Definitely a must try. It was so good we forgot to get pictures of everything. read more

this was such a cute little restaurant in ktown. the decor was adorable, and all of the staff were really friendly. we came around 4:30 and were able to get the $1 oysters (available every tuesday), and despite being on the smaller side, they were fresh and delicious. for the seafood boil, we got the 3 lb combo with the two free sides. i do wish they had better combo deals though, since i feel like other seafood boil spots offer more value. we chose the house sauce with a medium spice level. i was a little worried after seeing yelp photos because the bags didn't look very saucy, but i had nothing to worry about. everything was coated in sauce and seasoned so well. the house sauce was super flavorful with a hint of sweetness, and the medium spice level was perfect (noticeable without being overwhelming). we added a ton of lemon though b/c we prefer a tangier flavor. i just wish they allowed you to mix the two sauces. everything was cooked perfectly and tasted great. my only complaint was the potatoes. they were so big that they didn't seem fully cooked, so i would've preferred smaller ones. the staff was super nice, but we were sat in a more secluded area near the front, so it was a little harder to flag someone down when we needed anything. because of that, we felt a bit overlooked at times. next time, i'd probably ask to sit somewhere more central in the restaurant. read more

Visiting LA and TikTok brought me here! We were in Koreatown and stopped in on a Thursday around noon. It was pretty empty when we arrived, so we were seated right away. We started with the juices, which DID have alcohol in them , and they were very refreshing! Our waitress was super nice and took the time to explain the menu since it was our first time visiting. I ordered the crab boil with TWO pounds of crab, a lobster tail, and added broccoli. It also came with garlic noodles. Y'ALL!!! Everything was SO delicious! It took about 20 minutes for our food to come out, but I was completely fine with the wait because everything tasted extremely fresh. i did have one issue with my lobster tail. There was quite a bit of dark material inside that honestly looked very unappetizing. When I brought it up, they explained that it wasn't what I thought it was and that some lobsters have more of it due to the liver/tomalley. Either way, for what I was paying, I didn't want to see all of that on my plate! They quickly replaced it with a fresh lobster tail without giving me a hard time, so I really can't complain about how they handled it. Now back to the FOOD! The flavors were ON POINT, and writing this review is making me want it all over again! Those garlic noodles were HITTIN'! Just be careful because they are definitely filling, especially when you already have two pounds of crab and a lobster tail to tackle. The inside had a nice little vibe and was very clean. Between the food, drinks, and service, we had a really good experience overall. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try! read more

I remember when this place was called toe bang, my old watering hole. Now it's completely remodeled and it's a place for seafood boil, like the boiling crab, but better. Their lunch deal is fantastic, but it's only on the weekdays so not everyone will be able to check it out. But they currently have a grand opening special, which is a great deal, and perfect for a group of four. I highly suggest you check it out soon. I'm hoping that one day they'll have happy hour. I ordered the shrimp and clams spicy with their special seasoning. It was absolutely delicious. Their garlic noodles were also tasty. I honestly I can't wait to bring my other half to check this place out. I went with a fellow yelper who loves this type of cuisine and he said this might be his all time favorite, and he's a connoisseur of seafood boils, all around socal and New Orleans. read more

Cap't Loui Seafood Boil - Seafood boil, garlic noodles, rice, and lemon pepper fries - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Parking: It's street or parking at the plaza for $10 by cash or $11 by card. Parking in the plaza is for 2 hours. Food: I was super disappointed by the oysters that were presented to us. 4 out of 6 were clearly shriveled up and tiny. It was 6 pieces for $19. Definitely not worth it. It says live oysters on the menu but it honestly didn't taste fresh at all and felt like it was previously frozen. The Capt Loui sauce for the seafood was great. My friend did think there should be a bit more sauce. I like how 1 potato and corn was included. It was alright, definitely not fresh either. Service: Staff was attentive and checked up on us and gave us a cup of lemon slices when we asked for it. read more

5 out of 5. Tried the Pick 4 combo here and it ended up being a really good deal compared to other seafood boil spots. You get a good variety and the flavor was strong without being too salty. Only thing I would say is I wish the combo came with a few more crab legs, but everything tasted fresh and came out hot so no complaints. The unlimited garlic noodles was what made this worth it. Sounds simple but they actually do it right. Good garlic flavor, not dry, and they keep bringing more which makes the combo feel like a better value. Place was clean, service was friendly, and the food came out pretty fast. Prices are not cheap but for this type of seafood boil it felt fair, especially with the Pick 4 deal. Would come back again just for the garlic noodles and combo. read more

Located in the KBBQ Quarters plaza, $4 for self-parking. The only reason I made the schlep out to K-town is for their Happy Hour promotion of $1 oysters on Tuesday all day. I first clocked this deal off of Instagram and glad I did, the quality of oysters was nice and they were well shucked. On the day that I went their oysters were from Mexico if that matters... Other than oysters on Tuesday if you go during lunch you can get delicious combos that are worth the value. From seafood boil to fryer basket, all is tasty. I got a mix of clams and mussels with the house sauce, the medium spice and plenty of garlic flavor hit the spot for satisfying the seafood boil experience. Pro move get some of that seafood boil sauce and mix with the garlic noodles. A con of this location is that there is no alcohol served, they have delicious mocktails such as their pina colada but I'm like man if this only had a shot or two it would be way better! read more

First, time trying here. I found it on Instagram so I've been trying been wanting to try for a while . Customer service was good. Ambiance is nice. Parking is a fee which is a negative. The captain sauce is cool. It could be thicker. The garlic noodles could have used more garlic. The funnel cake fries for dessert are good. Idk if I will be back because it's nowhere near my house. read more

Cap't Loui has quickly become one of my favorite seafood boil spots in Koreatown. Everything came out fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. We ordered the pick 2 combo with 2 lbs of shrimp (head on) with mild Cap't Loui sauce, and it was buttery, garlicky, and had just the right amount of spice without overpowering the seafood. The shrimp were juicy and easy to peel, and every bite was coated in sauce. We also tried the garlic noodles and cajun fries, which were both really good. The pasta was simple but rich and perfectly al dente (my pet peeve is mushy noodles), and the fries were perfectly crispy with great seasoning. We had the noodles as part of the combo but the fries were definitely worth ordering as an additional side. A special shoutout to our server, Jacey, who was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. She checked in on us throughout the meal, made sure we had everything we needed, and her positive attitude really elevated the entire experience. Great service can make a good meal even better, and Jacey definitely made our visit a 10/10. The atmosphere is casual and fun, making it a great place to catch up with friends or enjoy a messy seafood feast. The food came out quickly, the quality exceeded our expectations, and we left full and happy. We'll definitely be back! read more

Came here at around 12:30, specifically for the free snow crab and unlimited garlic noodles deal on a Wednesday. Was able to get seated as a party of 2 right away. In order to get the deal, you have to order 4 lbs of seafood. Honestly, because the garlic noodles are rather dry, I probably wouldn't get that deal again. The seafood itself was good though. Really like their capt Loui sauce. Cajun fries and sausage are pretty good too, and they provide gloves and free mouthwash in the bathrooms. Servers were attentive. My only complaint is that it was HOT in the restaurant. My partner was sweating like a sinner in church, and it was only towards the end of their meal did they finally decide to turn on the AC. Not sure why they turned it on so late considering he was dripping sweat (we also didn't realize they had AC, so we didn't think to ask- it was really hot so we figured they just probably didn't have AC to keep the interior that hot inside). Overall, I think this place is worth trying, but not sure if it's the best either read more

The deal on the oysters is not something I can pass up, and I'll definitely be back. read more

Was recommended by my boyfriend's coworker and I'm so glad we gave this place a try! The service was top tier and attentive (everything you could ever look for in a restaurant). We came on a slow day, there weren't many people surprisingly. Great price, great environment, and great company! We got the oysters as our appetizer and for our meal, a pound of shrimp head on with some sausages, broccoli, potatoes, and corn. As a side, we ended up with some garlic noodles. I think out of the places I've been, this place has some of the best noodles ever! For dessert (unfortunately we devoured it before I snapped a photo), we got the funnel cake fries with ice cream on top. Everything came out fast and fresh, which I truly appreciated. The only thing I wish for was that it was more saucy. It wasn't a big deal, everything was flavorful and well seasoned, I just love extra sauce when it comes to my seafood boils. I'd definitely come back! read more

5 STARS, no hesitation. This seafood boil was EVERYTHING. The flavor was rich, buttery, and perfectly seasoned. Every bite was coated in that sauce. The shrimp were juicy, the crab was tender, the corn and potatoes soaked up all the goodness, and you can tell everything was cooked just right. Messy in the best way possible. We also ordered the funnel cake fries dessert with ice cream which was so good! and it was the perfect sweet finish after all that spice. The vibe was fun, casual, and perfect for getting your hands dirty with good company. If this is a new spot, they're already doing it RIGHT. I'll absolutely be back! Thank you Kathy for your customer service! read more

Finally a reliable restaurant to satisfy my seafood craving! This place was so good. We tried a 4 lb bag with lobster, shrimp, scallops, and crab. Since the restaurant is new, they're offering a free snow crab and unlimited garlic noodle special if you buy a 4 lb bag (so recommend coming with a date or a friend). The Capt Loui Cajun sauce was flavorful without being overwhelming, and the hot spice level was perfect for us. Garlic noodles were really good too so definitely get those. Service was good too; Lorena was attentive and friendly. read more

10/10, I would absolutely recommend this place! The food was delicious and very reasonably priced for the amount you get. We ordered the Pick 4 with shrimp and crawfish, and I was honestly shocked by how much food there was. There were three of us, and we all have pretty good appetites, but we still had plenty left over. It's definitely shareable! The flavor was incredible. I usually drown my seafood in lemon or lime, but I didn't need to add a thing here. It was perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor on its own. My only gripe has nothing to do with the restaurant itself--it was the parking. I ended up paying $10 to park, which felt a bit steep. If you can, I'd recommend finding street parking instead. Overall, amazing food, generous portions, and great value. We'll definitely be back! read more

I came across this Yelp page while planning a friend's birthday dinner, and the high reviews caught my attention so I decided to go with this place. Placing a reservation was very easy - they were very accommodating for our large party and the service when we got there was even better! Cap't Loui is located in a cute little plaza in ktown and is quite spacious inside. When we went, the grand opening special was going on, and we were able to get free unlimited garlic noodles and free crab legs for every order that contained 4 different types of seafood. Even without the special though, they have deals like free sides if you get 2 or more pounds of seafood. I usually just get shrimp at seafood boil, and the shrimp at Cap't Loui was probably the highest quality I've had at these types of restaurants. They tasted so fresh and they were so big and plump! We had added sausage to our bag since we got more than 2 pounds and while I usually am not a huge fan of the sausage offered at seafood boil, the one they use here was amazing and had a good balance of sweet and savory. Honestly this might be the best seafood boil I've ever had, and I've had quite a few! I'm definitely coming back, and it's good that there isn't a location closer to me otherwise I'd be here all the time! read more
