    This is a great restaurant. I came here on my birthday when it was pick up only. The food we order was delish. So when they open to eat in( short lived) i came back and fell in love with the place. It is run by the Lady owner, a super friendly. Now we came back and they have a patio. The food once again I super delicious!! If you are in the area I highly recommend it.

    Shrimp fajitas.
    Greg S.

    Today was my fist time going here, the food was amazing! I went with the shrimp fajitas, they come with rice, beans, tortillas, and even a side salad. I skipped the aforementioned because I'm trying to do that Atkins diet thing. Anyways, there was enough for me to eat and still get full without the sides. which is to say, that the portions here are definitely on the large side so trust me when I say you are definitely getting your money's worth! As for the food, it was awesome! Good flavors, not over cooked, and a solidly large portion of it. The Price was what you'd expect for seafood. $$ but worth every penny. I did my best to communicate with the waitress in my best broken Spanish and her in her best broken English. (Yeah I'm that guy, sorry) Luckily for me my coworker filled in the gaps because she's fluent. But, if I'm honest, I prefer my Mexican style food prepared by people who don't have English as a first language. In the same way I'd prefer my Chinese food made by someone who's first language is Chinese. It adds to the authenticity of the whole experience.

    Botana de Camaron, after adding MY OWN lime from home. Stingy with the avocado.
    Christine P.

    Originally from LA, I'm used to having many choices of sea food. I was in search for a good spot, and came across this location and thought I'd give it a try. Definitely wasn't worth my $16. I got a Botana de Camaron to go. It hardly had any like in it, I had to squeeze some from home to add juice to it. It came with only 2 slices of avocado. The flavor was very salty and had nothing that stood out. Plus they gave me a container of some kind of "hot lemon juice", it was definitely bottled lemon juice which tastes awful when compared to real lime. I won't be coming back, not worth what I paid for what I got. Thanks but no thanks!

    I really like and enjoy this seafood place for many different reason, the parrilladas are bomb! They make the best micheladas! And the beat part is the customer service! They cook your food to your liking. Rafael the owner is really cool with the customer!

    Andrew M.

    Really amazing I got chille relleno with an amazing broth sauce and rice beans. And then oysters. So fresh and good. The salsas they have on the table are great too. Deff come back again. The waitress was a little slow to come to our table thru out the meal.

    The waitress was busy watching her Novelas, instead of attending to her customer's needs. Smh!

Butcher paper are placed on our tables with menus following. We ordered Boba, strawberry smoothies (our smoothies weren't quite sweet enough, and something was missing to make them the best they could be), and Sprite (in a bottle). We also ordered two lobster tails, which came with two corn and two potato sides and Combo Grilled Platters. The lobster tails were generous, packed with meat and flavor. Rolling Crab offers a variety of flavors: Rolling Crab Classic, Louisiana Cajun, Lemon Pepper, and Garlic Butter. Bibs and gloves are available, and you can choose the lobster tails mild, medium, or super spicy, or go for the original. They come in buckets. The Combo Grilled Platters were generous portions, though we wished for more shrimp. The flavor was excellent, though. The restaurant was clean and cozy, with a small space that could easily accommodate a large group. We didn't feel rushed at all, even though it wasn't packed. We noticed a lot of takeout orders, but overall, the service was great, and the food was delicious. We're definitely planning to return!

More concerning, however, was a serious issue regarding safety and how my family--particularly my child--was treated by staff. During our visit, my toddler was standing next to her high chair when employees were running through the restaurant. One employee fell and immediately blamed my child for the incident. I was present and witnessed the situation clearly. My child was approximately four feet away and was not involved in any way. The employee tripped on her own, yet responsibility was placed on my child. If the placement of a high chair in that area posed a concern, it should not have been offered or placed there to begin with. At no point did any staff member, including the manager, ask if my child was okay (especially since they thought she was tripped over) Instead, blame was directed towards my toddler, which made me feel unwelcome and judged for simply dining with a baby. Also if she really was tripped over- they did not care about her at all. This shows: THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR GUESTS. A server came up to us and expressed how she was the blame despite not seeing what had happened. These employees are running up and down. That is why she tripped. This is my my toddler (thankfully) was not harmed. I hope the waitress is okay though, clearly this company does not care about safety much- as she kept working after. We spent over $150 during this visit, and the overall experience left me feeling that this establishment is not family-friendly. This is particularly disappointing, as families should feel safe and respected while dining. Due to this experience, we will not be returning, and I will be sharing this feedback with all friends and family. I hope this matter is taken seriously and addressed appropriately to prevent similar situations in the future. Maybe a training on where to put high chairs, how not to run in an establishment, and how to speak with respect towards others would be a good start.

I honestly wanted to leave, but my kids wanted to stay. I had them look at the claw machines until we were ready to be taken to our seats. Some of the staff continued to openly argue in the dining area during the remainder of our time there. We arrived around noon, and the food selection was okay. Some items were sitting in the pans for so long that they became soggy or chewy. The tempura shrimp tasted really good when it first came out, but when I went to get some for my dad they were very hard to eat. I wish the selection was a little broader, as it is mainly seafood. None of the items were labeled. The younger lady that was making rounds to clear plates from tables was pleasant and really the only positive part of our first time experience here.. I would like to give this place a try again to hopefully have a better experience.

    So why the mixed reviews? Let me break it down for you, as I've been there for both lunch and…read moredinner. SERVICE: The main lady, who I'm assuming is the manager, has an unusual seating arrangement system. When you get there and pay, the cashier will tell you it's a 10-minute wait. Meanwhile, no one else is in the lobby waiting, and the interior of the restaurant isn't busy. The main lady is the one who seats you. The service staff is nice, but they are not "on top of it." The servers don't ask if you want drink refills. You have to tell them. They are literally there to pick up your plates and bring you drinks. Also, the poor things don't even have trays to carry the drinks. They always look miserable, like they're working a 16-hour shift but are only halfway through the lunch rush. None of them are mean; they just always look so exhausted. Additionally, the main lady doesn't speak kindly to the wait staff. She constantly seems angry at them. FOOD: They do offer a lot of variety of sushi, sashimi, korean bbq, hot foods such as a full ham, a full beef, fried fish, seafood boils, beef and broccoli, and their infamous coconut shrimp. All very tasty dishes. The hot food is hot and the cold food is cold, but they have a lot of violations reference: http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/eh/i-want-to/view-inspection-results.htm scroll to "Inspection Results", then type in "Luck Buffet" to review their food handling and temperatures. Again the food is good and tasty, but it comes with a price. The sushi is not sitting on refrigeration or ice, so any of the raw fish does not hold a temperature of 41 degrees or less. The same goes for the salad bar area, where at night they have raw oysters and cooked shrimp. The oysters had ice all around them, but according to the health inspection, their refrigeration unit is not up to standard and is not elevated off the floor. Their raw fish is also not stored properly while waiting to be made into sushi. It's just "under the counter." Similar violations were noted for their raw chicken and various other products containing cooked fish. All of this is to say that it doesn't matter how they present it; it's not at the right temperatures by the time it reaches your plate. OVERALL: I had a great time on Valentine's Day with my husband. I had been wanting to try this place for dinner for quite some time, and we didn't want a fussy, overpriced Valentine's dinner. This place seemed like a great option. I had eaten there a month prior for lunch for the first time, and it was nice, but I didn't have any of the additional items they served for dinner. This time, they had all the options available, and it seemed nice; however, within 24 hours, I became violently ill from food poisoning, and my husband just wasn't feeling great either. I suffered for four days with fevers, rashes, and everything expelling from my body. When I looked up their infractions, it suddenly made sense. The choice, and the risk, is ultimately yours!
