This place gets your savory munchies going! Refer to yelp for menu help! Food Pictures from other yelpers is always an intelligent way to help you select what's going to taste best! Pork belly was BY FAR the best thing we had! Garlic noodles was an amazing compliment to the pork belly. Oysters were delicious and fresh tasting. Brussels sprouts were overly salted but still manageable! I love me some Brussels sprouts so it's always an automatic order! Maybe next time memo easy on the salt. Service was slow but it was a Wednesday and there were a total of 2 servers there who were bartending and serving so you can't blame them too much! They did well given the circumstances read more

Had pretty poor experience here. The drink menu is hard to read (particularly the prices) as it's like a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy, plus they didn't have most of the drinks on the menu anyway. We watched the waitress straight up argue with a table about what they ordered, didn't put OUR order in right, neglected to check in with us, and we had to ask for the check four times before it finally appeared 30 minutes later. The staff also bickered at one another in the open. Food - at least what actually ended up arriving at our table since we never did get some of the plates we ordered - wasn't that great. Coupled with the poor service and environment, won't be back. read more

Cod has great sea food specially for the value. The biggest highlight of our visit was the lobster roll which came out warm and the bread they used was equally delicious, felt more like a brioche. We also ordered were the "trio" roll from the special menu, for $23 you get 18 sushi rolls. Ordered the crab salad and the Uni truffle pasta which is their signature dish. Thought the Uni was just ok. Ratings: Crab salad: 8/10 Lobster roll: 8.5/10 Trio rolls: 8/10 Uni pasta: 7/10 read more

I ate here and didn't like it. Trying way too hard. Too loud to talk. The staff was kind. I have a feeling I'll try again. We'll see

What is the point of accepting a reservation when the restaurant is not even open at the time they say they will be.

COD is amazing the food is wonderful very tasty .. the sushi is fresh the drinks are great and the ambiance is right on point ! The owner is also very amazing ! 10/10 read more

Omgosh, I love this place. It was my first time here. Hands down better then EMC restaurant if you have ever been, both look similar along with the menu but COD's food quality tasted much better. The staff was excellent and made it fun for us while we were dining on the Balcony 2nd level. Best uni pasta, you'll ever eat it in Los Angeles, we also ordered the 12 dozen house oysters, sushi, and garlic string beans, all were super delicious. Everything came out to $155 without tip we also order drinks too. Parking is hard to find in the area so we did valet for $10 after a certain time it go up to $20 just FYI. I will Definitely be back to dine here again read more

Food: 4/5 Value: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Parking: 4/5 Came here for dinner and because we went to happy hour we were a little full to begin with. Overall thought this place was very good and would come back here. The service was very quick and lucky for us, it wasn't too crowded. We got the shishito peppers, crab toast, oysters, and yuzu salmon. The peppers were pretty oily and not my favorite, feel like I've had better ones at other places. The oysters and salmon was very fresh and really liked the sauce of the salmon. I definitely liked the crab toast however my biggest complaint was that it did not look like the pictures, it was much smaller and just felt they could've done a better job on presentation. read more

Came here for Dine LA a few weeks ago. Overall, it was a pretty good deal for $55. 4 courses left me feeling full and satisfied one of got the grilled lamb chop, and it was very dry and tough. The waitress was very nice about it and offered to send it back and replace it with something else, so we got the scallops. She said it's not one of their specialties. The grilled octopus was tender, albeit I don't think the kidney beans added to the dish. Truffle uni pasta was creamy and very good! The assorted sushi set was very ok. Probably wouldn't choose it again. We came early so there was plenty of street parking, but they also have valet if you're in a pinch. read more

I went to COD for the first time last night and was not disappointed at all! In fact, I had an incredible experience! The food was incredibly fresh, the ambiance was intimate, and the server was bomb! THANK YOU NATHAN, your service knocked the ball out the park and this is coming from someone who's been in the industry for a long time. We ordered the Kumamoto oysters- which if you don't know oysters very well, they'll always remain my favorite and you have to try them to see why. The halibut carpaccio melted in my mouth with each bite - I love the citrus notes and the Yuzu in the sauce. Then comes the best part - the New Zealand Sea Bream!!! Hands down the star of the night. I've never had it before and I like to view myself as a seafood connoisseur. The white meat outshines any sea bass or branzino. The texture was so delicate and I will be coming back for it! We ended with the uni and the matcha creme brûlée which i finished myself lol Overall, definitely worth a visit back and will be asking for Nathan again! read more

Tried this place for dinner twice for DineLA! I wouldn't go to this place if it wasn't for DineLA because it is kinda sorta pricey. DineLA includes the uni pasta, which includes noodles that are cooked absolutely perfectly. I think it even includes truffles. fancy~ The noodles are semi bigger and have a great chew to them. The portions are pretty big so come with your appetite ready! It includes 3 courses with an appetizer, entree, and dessert. They have good drinks here too but sadly the one I wanted they ran out of... I believe it was a lavender vodka drink. But yeah, overall this place has good, fresh food and pretty good service from what I can remember! Try this place out for dineLA so you can experience a greater variety of the menu for a fraction of the price. Parking is valet unless you get lucky with street parking. Not too far from the Beverly Center! read more

COD Restaurant - Uni Pasta. Go for Dine LA until the 25th for a special deal! - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We went there with friends and trying some new dishes. I heard many good stories about this restaurant, and I wasn't disappointed. the Uni Pasta is just amazing, and now they are serving Chinese Dim Sum for lunch. my favorite are xiao long bao and shrimp dumpling, too good. Also note, the parking during lunch might be a challenge since they don't offer valet until dinner time. read more

We went for Dine LA. Our favorite was Uni Pasta and Chocolate Lava Cake. Since the same owner of EMC owns this joint, Uni Pasta was similar with black truffles with it. It was soooo goood!!! XD. We also tried Octopus and scallops as appetizer, yhey were equally good. Since Uni Pasta's regular cost is $33, Dine LA was a great deal. We will be baaack!! ＼(^o^)／ read more

I am taking off my 5 star review for this place.This is the 4th time I have been disappointed with their service.I even made it a point to bring this to the managers attention the 3rd time they messed up but still I was generous enough to give them a 4th chance.Honestly since 2016 I have been fond of this place but looks like it's getting off my list now! It literally took them more than hour to process my online order (directly placed through their website) and the food wasn't still ready.When checked with the hostess she mentioned she didn't know the reason for the order not being processed.Finally I had to ask them to refund my money.Their service definitely needs some work!!! read more

Great date night restaurant , my hubby and I enjoyed the food and the waiter was new and attentive I wish I could remember his name .

The food here was great: we ordered the seafood tower, ceviche, uni, sashimi, soft shell crab, pork belly, garlic noodles, Thai basil shrimp....we ordered the works. The food was truly great. Our server, was great. The Australian woman from the east coast. SHE WAS A DOLL. Knows her menu back and forth. Great service. They get a star removed because of the incident that occurred as we were about to leave. We were seated upstairs on the outside patio. I'd like to point out that they were not abiding by having tables 6ft apart. There were people roaming without masks on. Capacity was a little to much given everything going on. We thought they'd be following stricter rules. However, we were approached by another server stating that due to covid they were asking us to leave. Excuse me?! Y'all care about covid ALL OF A SUDDEN?! If approaching parties of 6 that tip 25% and telling them that covid matters to the restaurant. Is necessary...perhaps also consider following more closely covid cdc and who regulations more closely. A little review on what those should be and how they can improve would be a great place to start. Don't cherry pick at your convenience for capitalistic reasons what rules you want to follow and speak condescendingly to people. Y'all can do better. read more

My boyfriend and I walked in on a Saturday night and there was no wait. I started off with a lychee martini and it was too sweet and syrupy for me. My boyfriend ordered some oysters to start and he said it was delicious. We ordered the Pork Xiao Long Bao, Steamed Har Gaw Dumpling, Assorted Seafood in Spicy Thai Basil Sauce and the Chicken Garlic Noodles. Everything we ordered was amazing! The assorted seafood in spicy thai basil sauce went soooo well with the garlic noodles. We finished every single thing on the plate. The service was amazing as well. Will definitely return to try other things on the menu. read more

My sister selected COD restaurant to host a company party for approx 80 people. The restaurant is located on 3rd street just east of the Beverly Center. Parking is an issue but they do have a valet even though it's scary just to get to the valet. The main dining room is on the first floor but they gave an upstairs that doubles the size of the restaurant. The is a front and back patio upstairs and a bar. Our party were served appetizers of shrimp, scallops and tiny tiny oysters. The tiny oysters were so small the shells basically chipped into the meat only complaint of the night. I would compare them to the size of a quarter. The mains were served buffet style Grilled salmon was good Grilled asparagus and cauliflower nice big pieces of cauliflower Seafood linguine Fried rice Braised beef cheeks were the highlight of the meal. So so tender great flavor. Many of us asked if it was on the regular menu. Yes it is! Through out the night the drinks flowed and I was introduced to the owner who in fact owns 13 restaurants most notability EMC raw bars. Including his flagship restaurant in Irvine. Being restaurateurs we had great conversation, especially how adverting and promotion has changed over the years. Social media ie Yelp has taken over print and broadcast advertising. Service was ok . I think they needed a couple extra servers. read more

COD Restaurant - Beef Cheeks grilled cauliflower salmon - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Excellent prices and yummy food. Ordered clam chowder and super delicious. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes

I decided to try this restaurant for dineLA since I heard nothing but great things about this place. The dineLA menu offered a 3-course meal for $39 which was a terrific deal! Also, my friends and I decided to try the oysters too. So, we ordered the Kusshi and Fanny Bay. Both of the oysters were delicious & fresh but, I personally loved the Kusshi oysters because of the creaminess and meaty texture. For the dineLA meal, I ordered the grilled octopus (appetizer), uni pasta, and chocolate lava cake. The grilled octopus had a savory flavor that I fell in love and wanted to order another one! I was truly impressed by the truffle uni pasta since usually, I don't like the uni pastas from other restaurants. The pasta was creamy and perfectly cooked! Lastly, I finished with the chocolate lava cake which was rich and tasty. Overall, my experience and the ambiance of restaurant was delightful! read more

Came here for DineLA with a group of friends. I wouldn't say I was very impressed but the food was good. We were seated in a private area which was nice. We each had something different from their dineLA menu. FOOD BREAKDOWN: Lavender Sparkler - it was really good. I love the light & bubbly taste. Barely taste the alcohol. Fresh Oysters - 3 shots of oysters. It was fresh and went down pretty smooth. They shucked it pretty well. Snow Crab Salad - friend had this and they said it was pretty good. Look pretty simple. Grilled Octopus - very delicious. Surprisingly it wasn't chewy like most octopus I had but quite tender and soft. Pan Seared Shrimp & Chive Dumplings - reminds me of the chive dumplings I get at dim sum. To be honest, it just felt dressed up on a pretty plate. Still delicious though. Truffle Uni Pasta - very heavy cream and we only got 2 small pieces of uni on top of our pasta. Grilled Chilean Sea Bass - this by far was the best in my opinion. It was really well done. Soft and the sauce paired very well with the fish. Yuzu Cheesecake - this was really good as well. I like the crumbly crust at the bottom and the cheese cake flavor was very good. Chocolate Lava Cake - didn't melt like a lava cake. A bit disappointed. It was just soft in the center and lightly crispy on the outside. AMBIANCE & SERVICE: It was very romantic and intimate. Service was good and they were attentive on our need. We used valet for parking. Friends found parking on the streets but they seem a bit far. OVERALL: I would probably just come back if a friend wanted to eat here, and/or they got new dishes I want to try.. My recommendation to the restaurant is to make more unique dishes. A lot of the menu items felt like dressed up dim sum and/or Chinese food I get elsewhere. Some of the dishes like the sea bass was really good and I want to see more dishes like that. read more

Resturant is a joke....food is mediocre at best, price is of any LA high end seafood Resturant. Service is awful. They simply pack the place and ignore ALL covid health precautions. Although the "indoor" patio (pre-indoor dining) had tables on top of each other, and even after our table of 5 had a bill of $400+ the "host" has the balls to tell us we have to leave because of the "covid time restriction". When I asked her what about the the other covid precautions that they are failing the manage, her response? "That's a whole other issue, we have guest waiting for your table". Awful experience. read more

Everything that we had at COD was great! Fresh, flavorful, and very reasonably priced (depending what you order, it could be pricey, but we were very happy with our not so pricey selections off the menu). Valet is $7 (this is a very busy area with lots of restaurants, so if you are dining at a popular time, save yourself the time and valet). The vibe is trendy casual, a bit crowded and bustling so not great for an intimate dinner but good for a fun night out. We shared (for two): Hokkaido Scallop Carpaccio (yuzu kosho, smoked sea salt, ponzu sauce, olive oil) - the scallops were served sliced, the perfect texture, and complemented well by the ponzu sauce. Albacore Crudo (shallot garlic ponzu sauce, chive, frisee salad) - almost melts in your mouth. Very high quality albacore without too much to distract from the natural taste of the albacore itself. Truffled Green Beans (chilled crunchy baby green beans, olive oil, truffle salt) - the green beans could have been cooked a bit more for my liking (they are crispy) but the truffle sauce is amazing. Crispy Garlic Brussels Sprouts - pretty good, nothing too special compared to all the sprouts out there, but good. Crab Glass Noodle (crab meat, julianne vegetable, seafood broth) - A generous amount of crab accompany a large pot of noodles. It's not too "crabby" but definitely not for those who are not big crab fans. Great for sharing. We weren't sure that it would be enough food for two, but actually left with enough noodles leftover for a second meal. I'll definitely go back! read more

The uni pasta here is to die for!! It's by far the best uni pasta I've had in all of LA! So creamy and full of uni and truffle flavor, topped with a few pieces of super fresh uni! If you're an uni lover, you MUST come try this uni pasta!! Last time we went, we happened to come during their happy hour and tried a few items from the HH menu. The garlic noodle and pork belly were our favorites! They also have cocktails and $6 wine on the HH menu. HH is M-F from 5-7 PM! read more

COD Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Always wanted to come here for dinner, so I decided to have my final meal of 2018 here! Getting reservation was super easy as they are on OpenTable. Parking can be difficult in the area so we used their valet ($10). Our reservations were at 7:45 and we arrived around 7:40. I knew instantly it was going to be a very interesting night when there was no hostess and no one acknowledged us for 5 minutes. The restaurant was packed and I saw the staff running around. We finally got a table and sat down about 7:50 (not too bad) but then it took another 10 minutes for someone to come over. Needless to say the service was horrible all night hence the 2 stars. But enough about the horrible service, the food was outstanding! Below are the dishes we ordered: 1) A dozen oysters (Fat Bastard and Minter Sweet). They were fresh and delicious (5/5). 2) Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice. A little lacking in the spicy department but they were still very good. (4/5) 3) Hamachi Ceviche. Fresh and flavorful (5/5) They also give you plenty of "crackers" so that every bite has a crunch! 4) Hokkaido Scallop Carpaccio. We love scallops so wanted to try and they did not disappoint! The smoked sea salt definitely gives it great flavor. Must try (5/5) 5) Salmon with Yuzu Soy. Classic dish, fresh and it has great kick from the serrano pepper. (5/5) 6) Truffle Uni Pasta. Fantastic dish to end with before dessert. It is very rich and heavy but full of great flavor. It is heavy on the creamy side (4.5/5). 7) Chocolate Bread Pudding. Biggest disappointment. First, I thought bread pudding should be hot or at least warm but this came to us room temperature. Maybe at first it was slightly warmer but I wouldn't have not known since it took them 10 minutes to bring us spoons to eat it! Overall Food was 5 stars and service was 0 stars. I guess you can say this is really a 2.5 star review. It was a shame the service was not as good as the food. I probably won't be going back. read more

Saturday evening after seeing a movie at the grove. Needed to pick a last minute dinner place nearby for 5 people. Have always walked by this place and friends and I decided to give it a try, partially because they had availabilities and also because we were down for seafood. We were seated in the upstairs private dining area which was more spacious; however, there was storage boxes strewn around near the bar which was less than sighted. Wait staff was extremely accommodating and made up for the food, which was a combination of Chinese and Japanese dishes. Everything was good but just ok, nothing special. There is valet parking. Street parking on 3rd proves to be difficult during the busier hours. read more

We went there for dine LA , it's not bad experience, snow crab salad and oysters are good as the starting , we did side order the salmon carpaccio which has nice kick on spicy but good. On main courses , uni pasta is the great dish, waygu beef is good too, the sea bass came out lit cold , so it tasted lit fishy. Desserts are normal. Only issue is 4 courses meal we're taking 2 hours to finish.... read more

C.O.D is Good A.F.! The food at COD, as in Catch of the Day (not the actual fish...although that also works) is seafood-driven with a heavy Asian influence...catchy, right? ;) Pretty much everything I've had has been really good and really comforting, I could eat here almost every day--and my husband pretty much does. And for the most part, the food is fantastic every time. Sure there have been some MISSES here and there (wah wah), but overall, C.O.D. is truly one of those places you can eat at on a weekly basis. Our go-to's are the garlic noodles which really needs no description or selling point. Just get it. The pork belly is a MUST and is perfect in every way--sweet, salty, fatty, chewy perfection. Chicken wings are a safe bet, but delicious all the same. Raw fish dishes have all been really tasty, fresh, beautiful and bright. The restaurant isn't exactly a tiny mom-and-pop and it's not sprawling either, which makes it a great, neighborhood/date-night/grab-a-bite-to-eat spot. It feels more casual, but has a dark and cool vibe. The residents around 3rd street are lucky to have this jewel in their backyard. read more

C.O.D. is kind of like a westerly EMC, a seafood restaurant that leans heavily Asian, though more Japanese than Korean, or live-fish-tank Chinese. Matt B. and I went for a recent Saturday date night and had a lovely meal. We were able to reserve a 7:00 table just a few hours in advance. It was pretty bustling the whole time we were there, but I'll bet it's easy enough to walk in. The space was fun, casual and attractive with a nautical theme--a big-ass fish wall painting, a suspended canoe. Service was good, no complaints from me. I witnessed some expert handling of a supremely unreasonable customer at the next table. He thought his salmon was too small and he made it into a whole incident, and the staff was just humoring him and his aggressive bullshit for several minutes. I think they may have even sent him something gratis for his troubles. Tiny salmon; world's tiniest violin. We shared a bottle of white wine, a New Zealand sauvignon blanc, and ordered up a bunch of seafood. We started with a half dozen Kusshi oysters and the Hokkaido scallop carpaccio. The oysters were fresh delicious, small and meaty with great clean flavor, served on ice with cocktail sauce, horseradish, mignonette, and lemon. The scallop carpaccio was spectacular, the delicate slivers of raw scallop ridiculously silky, dressed with a flavorful mix of yuzu kosho, soked sea salt, ponzu, and olive oil, with a garnish of micro cilantro. I got the truffle uni pasta for my entrée. This seems to be a house specialty, and it's one of the better uni pastas I've had, with shaved truffle, green nori linguini, creamy uni sauce, and fish roe. Uni pastas can be bland or light on uni, and this one was neither. The linguini had real substance, with a satisfying chew, and I loved the decadent uni sauce. Matt's grilled Chilean sea bass was also fantastic, perfectly cooked with a nice miso sauce and sautéed spinach. We live pretty close to C.O.D. and I'm excited to go back to try more of the menu. There appears to be a solid happy hour, too, with good deals on oysters, among other things. I think this place will end up in our regular restaurant rotation. read more

I had high expectations for COD because it's associated with EMC. However, EMC is way better across the board especially pricing. Came here with Jane K. & we ordered at least half the menu: *Crab Glass Noodles (Crab Meat, julienne vegetable, seafood broth): reminded me of japchae! I liked this dish but it was just a small lump of crab on top for $25. Steep. *Oysters: Super fresh but pricey pricey. No specials like there are at EMC. *Crab Toast: I love avocado+toast & it's even better with crab. It's not a must-order though. *Garlic Noodles (egg noodles, parmesan, green onion): Again, at EMC this is $8 and I feel like it's similar if not the same. *Truffle Uni Pasta (shaved truffle, green nori linguini, creamy uni sauce, fish roe): I really enjoyed the linguini but uni pasta is$33 here whereas uni pasta at EMC is $18. Green nori linguini is unique but not worth 83% more.... *Geoduck Sashimi - did enjoy this - served pretty traditionally (in the shell). This dish is a little more special than the other dishes. Just to end this review on a happier note, I absolutely loved the okinawa purple yam dessert though! Caramelized like a creme brulee & not too sweet. Would definitely order this again. Net net, go to EMC instead. read more
