Small simple menu but full of flavor. The service was friendly and informative. We sat outside and didn't get to see the inside so I have no comment on the inside ambiance. We ordered: A couple of oysters, Smoked Trout Dip, Crab Dip, Fried Cod Sandwich, Soft Shell Crab Sandwich, Wedge Salad, Scallop Tostada, and Key Lime Pie The main takeaways from all we ordered and would get again is... Everything. The items that stood out were the dips with the ritz and The Scallop Tostada. But no matter what you choose you'll have a good time a the Found Oyster. read more

Clam chowder is awesome. Mussel and frites (one of my favorites in general) was so salty I genuinely think it was an accident? But i couldnt eat more than 5 small bites. It literally hurt my mouth and also my soul bc it's an expensive thing to not be able to finish! :'( Staff is super nice and getting just the chowder is worth it! Maybe avoid the mussel and frites here which again, breaks my heart to say read more

Overall, a wonderful experience with a great vibe that felt like a mix of East Coast charm and a London-style atmosphere. We ordered fresh oysters, grilled blue prawns in butter, the cod sandwich with a side of fries, and the lobster roll with fries. Everything was very tasty, though slightly saltier than our preference. The portions were a bit small for the price. While it's definitely on the pricey side, the quality and ambiance made it enjoyable, and we would come back again. read more

Found Oyster - Get the Sicilian crudo! - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We had great food, the specials (smelts and tuna aguachile) were a welcome surprise. The crudo was top notch as well. The clams were good, I would have preferred them simply with vinegar and onions but nothing wrong with what we had in a more Asian oriented flavor. Bill came incorrect the first time, the team fixed it and apologize, it was an honest mixed up and they were super in the handling. Make yourself a favor, try the place. read more

We went to found oyster for date night and had such a great time! We sat outside and their heaters kept us nice and warm. Our server was very friendly and even told us we could taste some wines before committing to one. So nice! All the food we ordered was excellent and so fresh! We were drooling over the bread and anchovies. The smokiness that was baked into the bread was so good! The perfect little spot for date night :) read more

I had been looking forward to this restaurant for a few months and I finally took my best friend to celebrate his belated birthday because he lives oysters. So we went on Saturday May 23 without a reservation. Which was fine we waited about 45 mins to be seated. Everything was fine as we ordered the Baywatch platter and we were thoroughly enjoying it with a nice beer. The oyster incredibly fresh and good. The peel and eat prawns, delicious! To be honest I came here for the Sicilian crudo, I couldn't wait to try it. It was as delicious as I expected, with one exception on our last bite of the scallop, I tasted an unusual flavor in the scallop almost like fermentation but I hoped that it was the lemon and just swallowed the bite...I shouldn't have. My friend said he experienced the same thing and felt bad spitting it out, so he also downed it with the beer. We should have known better. As soon as we got home we immediately took natural carbon pills to counter attack any bacteria. It helped, but we still ended up paying the price for a couple of days. I know it was a very busy day when we were there but whoever was handling the scallops should have been able to tell by the smell and feel of the product that it was not up to par. I am a fan of crudos and have had many kinds, in many restaurants and in many countries and have been lucky I guess that, I have not had a bad experience until now. Just a recommendation that your seafood handlers be more careful. If it wouldn't of been for that incident I would have given you a 10 out of 10 read more

Found Oyster - Celebrating with our Baywatch platter - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My boyfriend and I came by for the first time on a Saturday around 1:30. The restaurant is pretty small but we had no issue getting a seat. We had the lobster roll, fried cod sandwich, oysters, trout dip, and prawns with a special sauce. Our server Angelo really went above and beyond for us! We really appreciated his attentiveness! We will definitely be coming back :) read more

The food is underwhelming. Their happy hour deals are great, but the food is overall expensive, and you could get better quality food at a fancy seafood restaurant for the same amount you spend here. Customer service is great. However, one thing to note; I was seated at the bar, and noticed the woman cutting the sashimi dishes was using contaminated gloves. For example, she was wearing one glove on one hand to strictly handle the raw fish only to cut and serve. She used that same hand to open the cabinets and drawers, and touched multiple other things surrounding the area, when it should have strictly been the fish only. I then saw her remove the glove and throw it away, but she had already proceeded to use the contaminated glove to continue handling the fish, before starting a new set with a new set of gloves, but still forgetting and contaminating the new set also. Overall, I would be cautious having any of the raw fish here. read more

You know a restaurant is good when even the salads and vegetable dishes are fresh and full of flavor. This New England-inspired seafood spot is such a treat, with a staff that's both informative and casually friendly. I usually order from both the regular menu and the specials: the grilled fish, Sicilian crudo, fries, and scallop tostada are all standouts. And you can't leave without a slice of the Fat & Flour pie. read more

I've been wanting to come here for years, literally, and finally did last night. I wasn't sure what to expect but I was warmly welcomed and given a table outside because I was with my pup. I never went inside the restaurant so I can't tell you about the ambience, but it was fine on the sidewalk. Service is great. I ordered the lobster bisque roll. It was a little disappointing to see that it was only a 6 inch long bun with a bit of lobster stuffed into it. The fries that came with it were very good. But, for almost $40, honestly not worth it. I will go back and try something else with friends so I can share more things. Nonetheless, it was a lovely experience. read more

What I ordered: - CHOWDAAA - Maine scallop - Baywatch platter In the mood for fresh, high-quality seafood such as oysters and beyond? Found Oyster is the spot to hit up this summer! If you're having trouble deciding what to order, I suggest ordering one of their platters for a variety of different seafood. Their clam chowder "CHOWDAAA" was thinner than expected and more buttery than milky. Clams were soft and abundant, not rubbery at all. It was seasoned very nicely and I loved the saltiness from the bacon. Maine scallops were great in quality, not chewy in texture at all. They were seasoned very lightly but I wanted more of a kick. The Baywatch platter contains 6 prawns, 6 Mere Point oysters, 6 Black Magic oysters, and Sicilian yellowtail/salmon crudo. The prawns were slightly sweet and decently sized. The complimenting sauce was a slightly more tart mayo that was light and creamy. I really enjoyed the combination of lemon capers, onions and olive oil within the Sicilian crudo (yellowtail and salmon) that made it a refreshing dish. Their mignonette sauce was not as sour as other places and the cocktail sauce seemed made in house due to greater depth in flavor compared to generic mignonette sauce. Out of the two types of oysters, the Mere Point oysters were not as big as the Black Magic oysters. However, both oysters were silky smooth with the black magic ones being slightly sweeter. read more

Super cute place to be in, it was very intimate, but it does really well to make it so it doesn't feel too cramped in such a small space. Food was really good as well. Oysters of the day: 10/10 Super fresh, made my partner change his mind about eating raw oysters, comes with this vinegar sauce that was so yummy I wish I saved it for my fries Sicilian Crudo: 6.5/10 not my favorite flavor wise it has this kinda overwhelming zingy olive oil flavor but the fish quality was really good and I love me some capers Mussels on a half shell: 7.5/10 sooooo itty bitty BUT they were very refreshing with the cream and fennel, kinda tastes like pizza Lobster bisque: 9/10 so pretty wish there was more of it!! the lobster pieces were in these yummy little cubes and I appreciate how clean it was to eat. once you squeeze the lemon on there it's perfect. Then you get some nice salty classic fries. Yum. Dirty martini w blue cheese Olive: 5/10 i had gin in this. It was a STRONG drink. But if you like that sort of thing then this is just the thing for you. Calamari: 10/10 everything about this was my favorite. I love calamari. Not rubbery at all, not too much breading, and the sauce is perfect. You don't need to drown it in the sauce to get flavor. ANYWAYS great experience, servers were very nice and knowledgeable, we were in there and it was packed so it was kinda hard to flag a person down to order more BUT when we did order it came out pretty promptly. Lack of photos bc we were too busy eating it #mybad read more

1st class. Clever take on cooking/presentation. Collaborative, attentive and knowledgeable staff.

Love that reservations can easily be made on OpenTable. Came by on a Thursday night and the place was quite busy and lively. Service was impeccable from start to finish. I love when the table waiter isn't afraid to converse and just be themselves. That said, the table waiter and I chatted about our love for food, martinis and some of our favorite spots to check out in LA. The martini did not disappoint and it was very savory (three olives stuffed with different goodness is each). Food selection was perfect for a late night entree: mussel and clam frites. I left feeling satisfied, full and yet still light (did not have to unbutton my pants after departure). Perfect serving sizes! Parking isn't ideal but if you're from around here, you know to arrive with enough time for the search of parking. Outside seating is also available but the inside of the establishment is a viiiiiibe. Think lightly dim, perisian disco meets socal. read more

We were defeated by the work week. It was payday Friday, and spontaneity won--we booked a 9:45 PM res at Found Oyster. But plans changed (as they do), and we waddled in at 7:00 PM, hoping for a miracle. The angelic hostess told us she'd try to squeeze us in around 8:30 PM (bless her). We took a neighborhood stroll, passed a Scientology graduation (?!), and popped back in to use the restroom. That's when she told us to hang tight; two bar seats were on dessert. We'd brought a bottle of prosecco to sip with our caviar & tea. As industry folks, we were just about to mention it when--bam--our bottle and two glasses appeared like magic. Acts of service is our love language, and The Found Oyster speaks it fluently. Ambiance: Intimate, charming, no notes. 5/5 Service: Didn't miss a single beat. Think Ohio State's marching band precision but with oysters and sparkle. 5/5 Food Rundown: Caviar Service (w/ truffle potato chips): Mhmm. 5/5 Smoked Trout Dip: Cannonball into it. 5/5 Peel & Eat Prawns: Fresh, snappy, addictive. 5/5 Cheesy Artichoke Brandade: Take your Lactaid, you won't regret it. 5/5 Key Lime Pie: Even if you're full--order it. You deserve it. 5/5 We sipped, peeled, dipped, spilled tea, and recharged. The Found Oyster understood the assignment. We'll be back. read more

The seafood is so fresh and delicious but I think everyone leaves a little hungry still. Mou iiya

Everything we ordered was delicious. Not pictured - the lobster roll with fries- so good the size is fairly small but worth trying. The Sicilian Crudo was fresh & seasoned well. The spinach artichoke was 7/10. We didn't order any oysters but will visit again to try them. Indoor seating is only hightop of bar seating, dining tables are located outside. Great service and friendly staff. Perfect for sharing for the table. Dirty martini was ok I normally have it with Tito's not sure what their house vodka was but it was extremely bitter so I asked for extra olive juice. read more

With the impeccable ambiance and great food, it's hard to not have a good time at Found Oyster. Started off with oysters of course, three each of two kinds from the daily selection. Super fresh and succulent! Love the head on prawns so you can suck out the head juices. Littleneck clams in ponzu were a bit salty, and the mussels in cream, fennel and chili was interesting but not for me. Sicilian Crudo is exactly what you'd want: a satisfying plate of salmon, scallops, and tuna dressed in lemon, caper, and red onion. Scallops were definitely my favorite. Was told the scallop tostada is one of their most popular items! Tender scallops on a crunchy tostada, the dressing is a mix of sweet, sour, savory, and herby all in one. Did not disappoint. Star of the show for me this time is the CHOWDAAA! A comforting creamy concentration of surf n turn in a cup: perfectly cooked clams, rich bacon flavor, velvety broth. I would have ordered another if I wasn't so full read more

The perfect spot to take any seafood lover. As a New Englander, it's hard to find a seafood joint on the West Coast that lives up to my expectations, but Found Oyster is pretty fantastic. The inside is cozy and a little tight. Being sat at a hightop, by the bar meant we could only share one or two dishes at a time, but that was fine. The highlight of the menu is easily the scallop tostada. With yuzu, apple, and basil, this bite was refreshing, light, a little sweet, and so delicious. I could've eaten seven of these. We also ordered two specials: a tuna crudo and a grilled mushroom medley, both of which were fantastic. The mushrooms were another standout. Wish they were a permanent menu item. The fried oysters ($19) and lobster bisque roll ($38) were also quite yummy. My only criticism is that portions are a bit small for the price point but the quality and flavors made up for this. Overall, a delicious meal and I'll certainly be back! read more

We made a reservation at Found Oyster a couple of weeks ago, as we planned to visit Griffith Park over Memorial Weekend, and it is conveniently located near the park. Our table was set up in about 10 minutes, and we were brought to our seats by a friendly waitress. It was our first time visiting the restaurant, and I was pleasantly surprised by its artistic decor and clean interior. For a starter, we ordered the scallop tostada. The scallops were fresh, and the flavor had a South Asian influence, being both sweet and sour with hints of fish sauce and Thai basil. However, I would have preferred it to be a bit more sour than sweet. For our soup, we chose the New England clam chowder. The visible bacon bits and various ingredients made it rich and flavorful; it was delicious and to my liking. For the main course, we all ordered the lobster roll. It contained generous portions of lobster and was complemented by green onions. We were both very pleased with our choice. I would keep Found oyster in my to go list when I come to visit the area someday. read more

The decor could not have been cuter. Based on the size it is definitely best for groups of three or less. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The pricing was a little high but the crudo was worth it; really a special dish. They did a decent job capturing east coast vibe in LA. read more

8/10 for the oyster quality. Other food options were good as well. A bit pricey for what it is, but would go again for the right occasion

What a find. I was sleuthing thru yelp reviews for some raw oysters and this place popped up. my fellow yelpers never steer me wrong. We lucked out and did not have to wait long for a seat. It is quaint and intimate inside. Bar seating and small 2 top high tables. They seat the bigger parties outside in their makeshift seating. They make most of the space allotted utilizing the wall to hold platters. We tried an array of items and everything was prepared well and tasted good. It is EXPENSIVE tho.. so be mindful of that. This place isn't for the good deals its a ball out type of outing. read more

incredibly overpriced but the food is good. Its painful on your pocketbook though. 6$ for one oyster is laughable

This place... leaves me speechless. The food here is amazing. The scallop tostada was absolutely stellar.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while and I'm so glad I got the chance. I would love to come back. The fried oysters were soooo yummy !!

Delighted that I finally got to go here - been to Saffy's across the street several times but somehow, despite strong reco's, I hadn't made it to Found Oyster. I'm a seafood lover & a big fan of Dudley Market, so it's a bit embarrassing to me that it took so long to visit a restaurant on my side of town with a similar vibe. I have to say Found Oyster is pretty much perfect. Everything we ate was totally on point and delicious. Wine selection was interesting & good. (My daughter, who is a somme, was offered something off-menu, which was exactly the right move). We had oysters, crudo, B&G's bread with anchovies, a wedge salad and a fish sandwich. No room for dessert, sadly. I can honestly say I could eat that fish sandwich every day. I'll be back soon, Found Oyster. I've "found" my seafood people. read more

Came here craving oysters in the evening. Found this place pretty last minute and I was really happy I found this place. Scallop Tostada 5/5 - Whoahh this dish was really surprising. I love scallops and saw this on the menu and thought why not give it a try. I was skeptical because for the price point, I didn't think a couple tortilla chips and scallops would be worth it. I was wrong. Scallops were nice and big and delicious. The presentation and the sauce especially was well put together. Baywatch Platter 5/5 - Also another great dish. It was really nice that the server mentions that you can pretty much customize these platters. We went for a half dozen, two prawns, and the crudo. The oysters were so good we had to order another half dozen just because it tasted so premium and high quality. The crudo was really good add on as well since my favorite fishes are yellowtail, salmon, and then the scallops. One thing about this place is that it is very hard to find parking in this area, so you should expect to walk a couple feet to a couple blocks down from the restaurant (street parking). Ultimately, this place has amazing vibes especially at sunset where you can enjoy a nice glass of wine or beer with your friends or loved one. read more

Loved sitting at the bar! The staff is so friendly and fun and they're making the plates right in front of you. Perhaps the best hospitality in the neighborhood. We ordered the Baywatch platter (includes oysters, peel and eat shrimp, crudo), the lobster bisque roll, the trout dip, a second order of trout dip, and another plate of fries. The trout dip is on another level! My favorites were everything, literally everything, except the lobster roll. It pales in comparison to the crudo and the shrimp and the oysters in regards to fresh seafood. Perhaps I'm more into the more buttery, warm rolls. Overall, I'd give this place a 10 out 10 and I can't wait to come back. read more
