    Their black pepper steak is delicious!
    Ethann P.

    Excellent juicy pepper steak! Fast service and plenty of juicy sauce and Soy sauce! Meat was Tender

    76. Chicken Chow Fun 27. Mu Shu Pork with 4 Pancakes 10A. 6 Piece Crab Rangoons
    Dani L.

    I knew judging by the general vibe that this place would either slap or be incredibly mediocre and I was so glad it ended up being really yummy! I got the chicken chow fun, crab rangoons and mu shu pork and it was all solid, exactly what I wanted it to be. I'll definitely be back when I'm craving some comfort food. The people who run the place seem nice as well! Oh and here's updated pictures of the menu cuz I am a philanthropist.

    A lot of leftover food good amount of food served

    First time eating at chef Minh's kitchen very good service priced good for the amount of quantity and quality that you get. Tried several dishes. None of them were disappointing. I love that they cook it fresh for you and it's not sitting there.

    My husband and I used to go a really simple original Chinese restaurant with a friend. It was few tables, disposable plates and silverware. But, the food was super tasty. It is closed now. Now, we found another restaurant, this place that brought the same feeling and great taste of food by an authentic Chinese family restaurant. If you don't like disposable plates, no worries, pick up the food and eat home. But, try! The tofu was incredible good and the noodles so good! Good price!

    Extra spicy General Tso's Chicken combo plate. Comes with chow mein. $17.50

    Good Food made fresh and served Hot! Service was good too overlooked little spot. Kinda sucks that you can only choose 1 item with chow mein and rice but they do give you a lot of food. The restaurant itself is like almost every other Chinese food spot in LA it was clean and the vibe was chill with friendly staff.

    Crab Ragoons & Sweet and Sour Sauce
    Connor Y.

    I ordered Chefs Ming so this review is a little different. But the food was prepared fresh and was delivered on time. Everything was still hot when it got to us and looked phenomenal. The service was great in that regards. The crab ragoons where really the perfect crispy texture on the outside till you get to the middle where its nice and soft. The tasted phenomenonal. The spicy orange can always be hit or miss simply because it may not be spicy enough but it was good sweet savory missing a bit of spice for my personal taste but more than satisfactory. The Honey walnut shrimp was good this had that savory ness that most honey walnut shrimp is missing. This was really well done l. Overall a very good experience 4/5

    Very solid Chinese food at a great price. Friendly staff, and awesome variety and selection of dishes that are ready made and can be made fresh to order. Dinning room is cozy. Parking is a challenge especially from 12-3 Thursday and Friday because of street cleaning.

I got there with my mother and was greeted by a very lovely gentleman named Clark. He told us we could sit wherever so we seated ourselves in the outside area. He came over right away with the menus and asked if we had been there before to which we responded had not. He went over the menu with us and answered any questions we had regarding the menu. He was very sociable and friendly. We chatted with him and put in an order for the Kiwi Chowder. I ordered a Modelo and my mother ordered a glass of orange blend wine. He came over with the drinks a while later and the Kiwi chowder and have us plenty of time to sit and enjoy the dish before we ordered our main courses. The kiwi chowder was delicious and came with little crackers. The clams and mussels were so tasty and the Ora King Salmon was a nice treat. After a while he came back and served me the Fisherman's Mixed Basket and my mother got the Fish tacos with fish of the day for them being Sword Fish. The fisherman's basket was amazing and paired perfectly with my beer. I had never had clams,mussels, snapper, and oysters all together and they were so good I wish I could have them more frequently. The place was very cute and sat quietly with good music playing. Not current music but music that really fit the place and set the vibe. I will be coming back here and if you ever go, there is no bad choice for the fish, the service is stupendous and I haven't gotten anything like it in forever, and if you meet Clark enjoy a friendly conversation with him.

The oysters and salmon were especially memorable--about as fresh as seafood gets. We ended up ordering far more than we probably should have, but it gave us a chance to sample a good cross-section of the menu. We started with a half dozen oysters and the mussels before moving on to the branzino, cioppino, and Yukon potatoes. Everything was excellent, and the portions were generous enough that we brought more than half of our entrées home for another meal. I'd only been to the seafood market once before, but this dinner reminded me that there's much more to this place than buying fresh fish. Since I work nearby, I've already decided to make Friday stops part of my routine so I can pick up fresh seafood for dinner on the way home. Would we come back? Absolutely. Whether you're looking for an outstanding seafood meal or fresh fish to take home, Santa Monica Seafood is well worth the visit.

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.

It is hard to find reliable seafood spots that are family friendly without breaking the bank, but Pacific Catch nails it every time. I wanted to give them a well deserved shout out.

I read online that it was their #1 seller, and now I know why - it was top-notch, and I will definitely be back. For the purists, this isn't an authentic Connecticut-style lobster roll (it has mayo), but it was one of the better lobster rolls I've had outside of New England, and I'm born and raised there. The Old Bay Cheese Fries were pretty good, too. Nice and crispy with a great Old Bay flavor, and the clumpy beer cheese dip complemented them well. I would definitely order them again. I plan to come back to try more of their menu, hopefully with a pint of beer. I want to try their lobster mac and cheese and lobster quesadilla. Lobster & Beer is absolutely worth a visit, especially for locals in Santa Monica who want a place to grab beers with friends. They have a lovely little patio out front.

The vegetables and salad were tasty but the fish was very bland and on the tougher side. It came with a mango salsa but I didn't get any of the flavor of salsa. Everything was pretty pricey as well.
