    The clams! I ate almost the whole dish by myself hahaha
    Jamie Y.

    Food: we got the fried rice, mala spicy crab, the crawfish noodles, the sautéed cabbage, the egg yolk crab, the clams, and the passion fruit drink. Everything we got was so fresh and delicious! You know the chef really cares about the quality of food and that's so important when you're eating seafood. The mala spicy crab was the star of the show if you like spicy. The numbing spice was addictive and spicy! I really loved the egg yolk crab if you don't like spicy. My husband's favorite things were the egg yolk crab and the fried rice. He said it was on the of the best fried rices he's had. He even encouraged me to ask for the recipe from the chef. Hahaha. Needless to say we will be back for the food! Service: We got waited on by two lovely ladies. They were so sweet and super attentive. The staff helped us with some suggestions. The menu is in Chinese and I'm not the best with reading Chinese. Ambiance: The restaurant has a small amount of tables. They do a lot of take out but we dined in. The tables were clean and minimalistic. It's a casual dining restaurant where people eat family style. It's a restaurant where you eat with your hands. They provide gloves so your hands don't get spicy so keep that in mind. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, it reminded me of eating seafood in Asia without the long flight. Tldr; I would recommend this place. I will be bringing my friends here. I am a stickler for quality and I am willing to pay for freshness. I still crave the crab, clams, and fried rice. So so good. Trust me!

    dry pot crab

    Ordered the dry pot crab from here for the first time for take out. The crab was so delicious and spicy, seriously, I'm craving it as I type this The service was quick and friendly. The decor inside is very aesthetic too, I highly recommend eating here!

    Crawfish fried egg ramen

    Best seafood place in LA. Must try the spicy blue crab and egg yolk crab. Crab fried rice and crawfish noodle are must orders!

    Crawfish instant noodle
    Eris H.

    It's very authentic, I can't eat too spicy, so we ordered mild. it's just the perfect level of spiciness for me, the service is friendly and ambiance is quiet. All dishes served within 10 mins, pretty fast, the portion is large, I love this crayfish instant noodles, it's so much that two people can't finish it. Spicy crawfish is really fresh, the sweet shrimp is sweet.

    Love the marinate shrimp!
    Icy Z.

    Foods are good and tasty , the environment are nice and staff are nice too , i enjoy the marinate shrimp so much

    incredible dining experience!The food was amazingly flavorful and delicious, leaving my taste buds truly satisfied. Not only that, but the portions were huge, making it a great value for money. The seafood dishes were a particular highlight, bursting with rich flavors and expertly prepared.

    Mixed Spicy Crab
    Raymond T.

    I don't eat seafood in general but this place is actually good that I ate so much. Everything is so fresh and flavorful. My favorite is the Mixed Spicy Crab. I love the side veggies, potato and rice cakes. The Spicy Duck Blood is so soft and fresh that it's like tofu! One of the best I've ever had. The Stinky Tofu is crunchy on the outside and soft and aromatic on the inside. The Taiwanese kimchi that comes with it are spicy and compliments the Stinky Tofu. The Stir-Fried Clams is so fresh and yummy! I forgot to take a picture of the Stir-Fried Cabbage because it got devoured before I can pull out my phone: it's that good!

    Mixed seafood dry pot with crab - giant portions! Filled with rice cakes, lotus roots, veggies, and potatoes

    Freshest seafood in LA! The restaurant is rather small and unassuming but definitely a hidden gem. The staff and the owner/chef were super friendly, and the service was super fast. They helped walk our table through the menu and really worked to give us great recommendations. All the food was delicious - from the egg yolk crawfish to even the stir-fried cabbage. My favorite was definitely egg yolk crawfish. The sauce was so rich and the crawfish were extremely fresh. It's very messy to eat but they make sure to give gloves and bibs. It was an instant hit with the whole table. The mixed crab dry pot was gigantic and packed full of great seafood and was my personal favorite. For the more adventurous eaters, I also recommend the fried stinky tofu. Its not for everybody but was surprisingly good. I will definitely be going back!

    So good : spicy  。love it!!!

    Good service the frog and crabs you can taste really fresh even my kids like it very much good place to eat with friends and family

    Cheryl N.

    First time trying out this seafood place with my friend and the foods were bomb!!! I have not tried seafood with such flavorful seasonings (my go-to is usually cajun). The frog legs and stinky tofu are good with rice!! The crab is very delish!!!

    每日菜品,每日新鲜!
    Edward W.

    Absolutely one of the best places for crabs and crawfish! Their crabs are super fresh! We've been here almost a dozen time and their quality control is amazing. I had the opportunity to talk to the owner and they said all their crabs are delivered fresh daily! Service is strong and communicates well on estimated time for food to be ready. I would say their selections are worth of their pricing. Will absolutely return in the future. 最喜欢的就是他们家的蛋黄蟹, 小龙虾,辣炒蛤蜊,红糖糍粑. 基本上都很好吃. 食物都很新鲜!

    Raw marinated shrimp
    Zoe S.

    This our favorite restaurant for Chinese spicy crab and raw marinated seafood . Their seafood are always live , fresh and of high quality. The price is not low, but you get what you pay for. Hands down the best Chinese spicy and raw seafood.

    Best Vegan spot! The menu is filled with so many amazing choices. Can't go wrong with anything. We…read morestarted with the shrimp and mushroom appetizer. It was incredible. Tasted like calamari. The seafood noodle dish with vermicelli noodles was filling yet not heavy. It came with a side soup which was delicious. The steak with l black rice and asparagus on side was flavorful because of homemade sauce. Sencha kombucha was a nice sweet and healthy treat with dinner. The rainbow in the sky cake was epic. All natural colors from fruit and gluten free. Tasted light and beautiful presentation. Great upbeat music in background, nice decor and clean restaurant. Mai the owner is so lovely. She shared her story of how this restaurant came to be and overcame an illness just by changing to a Vegan diet. Thuc Anh our waitress was as sweet as can be. Five stars all the way around. Looking forward to next time.

Located in a fairly large plaza that's not too busy so it's pretty easy to find parking but the restaurant can get pretty busy but yet not so noisy where you can have a nice conversation with your friends and family! But onto the food! FOOD Bun Bo Hue (Royal Noodle Soup) My girlfriend is a big Bun Bo Hue fan and absolutely loves it here! Not only that but it seems rather popular. I've yet to try it, maybe I'll try it out the next time I'm there but if you're a Bun Bo Hue fan, you should get yourself the Royal Noodle Soup! Salt & Pepper Tofu One of our go-to appetizers. There's something about it that's so addicting, maybe it's the light crunch, maybe it's the soft warm tofu inside but whatever it is, you'll find yourself possibly ordering another plate if you're feeling hungry! Chicken Ro-Ti with Tomato Rice (Com Ga Ro-Ti) I absolutely love this dish! Incredibly delicious, savory and quite filling actually! Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure I'm always ordering this whenever we visit lol! What can I say, I'm addicted so you should give it a try! Plus it's one of the crowd-favorites! It's always nice to visit Au Lac. Great atmosphere, extremely friendly employees with great customer service that don't overwhelm you by visiting your table every so often. Plenty of seating even when it gets busy. I also enjoy the fact that when it's someone's birthday, they sing you a happy birthday and EVERYONE (even the customers) join in, so it feels very wholesome. My experience every time we visit is always going to leave a smile on my face. Thank you everyone at Au Lac, we can't wait to visit again soon!

'Raw Marinated Soy Crab': I felt like it wasn't fishy at all! You can really taste the fresh meaty crab and the soy marinade was light, not too salty, but still flavorful. I've been here twice and the medium size is good for 2 people, while the large is good for 2-3 people. Comes with a bunch of yummy sides, and miso crab soup, which was my favorite it was so delicious and comforting. Staff always checking in as well to make sure everything is okay which I appreciated!

We ordered the premium crab and uni with the ox tail soup It's important to eat at very clean restaurants especially with raw food. Ox tail soup the toom away a lot of the oils. Definitely high quality. The live uni had a hint of bitterness and a little over powering of the sesame seed oil but the ikura really made it taste good. The presentation is so IG worthy. I would still get it. Crab and shrimp was very clean and fresh. It doesn't have the spoiled fishiness. The female crabs did have a taste of sweetness. Very impressed. Also the service was amazing. They explained to us how to eat it. They came to refill our ban chan and tea quickly. They dumped the shells and changed our plates. The decor, food quality and cleanliness, and service were all top notch. Definitely an elevated korean delicacy.

    Came here to celebrate a girlfriend's birthday…read more Our party had 3 people and we came for an early dinner on a weekday. There was maybe one or two other parties there. Their menu specializes in Korean style premium seafood items. They have the option of live or not. They had different set options and items you can get a la carte. We went with their live fish and sashimi set C. We also got some live shrimp and live octopus to try. I love that the staff was super knowledgeable and explained everything to us. The live set included a lot of side dishes. It also included halibut and flounder, a platter of abalone, sea cucumber, cold soup, hot fish soup, calamari and vegetable tempura. All of which were amazing and tasted very fresh. The live octopus was definitely an experience. They tasted fresh and sweet and were very actively moving. If you want to try it I would definitely recommend trying it here. The chef was nice enough to have us try two types of nigiri. Both were amazing and fatty. The whole dinner was quite an experience. Since there were so many dishes they made sure to go in order but not rush us since many items were coming out. The staff was super attentive. Many items came with its own sauce so they made sure we were doing it right. We spent about $400 for 3 people which included alcohol. I thought it was fair especially for how fresh our seafood was. The inside of the restaurant is pretty casual but clean. You can also see most of the seafood items. I recommend if if you want live seafood items Korean style. We will be back.

It's a mixture of Korean and Japanese style dishes. We ordered the 2 people sashimi and couldn't even finish it. It came with the platter of sashimi...fish was fresh but definitely not high quality like the authentic Japanese restaurant..at the end it comes with tempura, Korean tofu side dishes and soup...just a lot. If you're looking for authentic sushi/sahsimi...this is not your restaurant but if you're looking for Japanese basic sashimi fishes and Korean food...this may be it.

    Absolutely loved this place!…read more Inside is minimally furnished but very clean, gives you a modern Korean restaurant vibe vs the traditional. Our server was very helpful and friendly, since it's a modern Korean restaurant with banchans only came with sets. We expected not to be able to have some more, but he not only gave us one more set, (we only ordered 2 sets, the cold noodle didn't come in set.) he also allowed us to have one more of their very delicious seafood pancake. And it was freshly made to order! We tried their crab roe cold noodles, which was good, not very special, but their spicy crab bimbimbap is very good, best dish is their marinated spicy shrimp and soy marinate crab. Very fresh and sweet, meat is tender and full of umami. A very pleasant dinner experience and definitely worth a five star from me!
