We've been buying from Hoi Yeung for a decade and the original owners are no longer there... the difference was mind blowing! As soon as we approached the doors to go in we smelled a horrible aroma we never smelled before! It was beyond the usual fresh fish smell that we were used to. My daughter had to step back out because she felt nauseated . The fish in the tanks were crowded and the water was murky/ unclean! The display was sloppy and unappealing..We usually by red shrimp but they didn't have none and the shrimp they had were all headed.. There was absolutely no ambiance nor customers like before but we took a chance and purchased 2 whole catfish for $33.00!! I wanted to buy ginger too but it was old and sprouting so the lady gave it to us free. I couldn't wait to fry the fish and made coleslaw to go with it and bread. My expectations were murdered when I tasted it..the flavor was way off and I couldn't eat it!! The smell was weird and we were disappointed to say the least.. I literally cried because we took an Uber there plus the $33 bucks and it was a complete waste of money. A bag of frozen shrimp was $30 & wasn't even wild caught. I don't see this business being around longterm like the original owners because the quality just isn't there. I had diarrhea later on so it's a no for me! We used to spend an hour there with the previous owners, laughing and buying $175 worth of seafood . Fresh Salmon , red snapper, shrimp, . Those days are forever gone and we'll Never go back unless they're gonna refund our money which I doubt. I grew up near a live fish market as a child and it never ever smelled like this new Hoi Yeung. Don't waste your money here. It's not worth it. read more

Every year I'm here for live dungeons crab for my gumbo. They will kill and clean at no additional cost. Good selection of live and fresh seafood, plus cooking pantry essentials. Always friendly and helpful, good prices (considering). On street paid parking. There is a paid lot as well. I always go first thing in the am, no lines, I'm just in and out. Not the fanciest seafood spot but it's good, fresh, and clean. That's all I need. read more

Came in when they opened on a Saturday morning for dungeness crab to make my dad's special recipe. It was super easy - plenty of street parking at that time of day, only 1 or 2 other customers in the store, quick and helpful service, reasonable prices. Best of all, everyone was so happy about the quality of the crabs! Big, meaty crabs with nice tender flesh. read more

Love this place. We come here every year for Dungeness crabs when the season opens. Super friendly staff and reasonable prices.

My sister asked me to get Dungeness crab from here for Christmas dinner. I got 10 whole crabs for over $300. Unfortunately, the crabs were famished and real skinny with no meat on them. All of them were skinny. He just paid for mostly the water that were in sad. read more

Top notch fresh seafood in DTLA. Quality of the fish is great, service and staff is A1. I will continue shopping here for my live seafood.

Super friendly staff, great prices for live Dungeness crab and super fresh! They were giants also. Can't wait for our next crab party!

Best selection and price. Pay the 5$ for parking. Great service. Close to freeways

This place has been here for what seems like forever and for good reason. Live and fresh seafood available at excellent prices. Parking is lot or garage anywhere nearby the adjacent streets or off the Chinatown stop on the Metro Gold line. Best to call ahead for availability and current market pricing. read more

I love getting my seafood from this place! At times they are the only ones who have LIVE blue crabs. I always call before I come. Today was no different. Called to ask before going blindly and they confirmed. When I got there I thought it was strange that the crabs were on ice but I went with it. Cooked them and they were all mushy :-( I called back really upset (in a crazy moment of hanger) and despite my spiciness, the woman who answered was really nice. She allowed me to come back to the store to make things right. AMAZING customer service. We talked about our miscommunication and I'm heading home feeling better about the whole situation. Be back next weekend! read more

Better believe I stopped in Christmas night to kiss my fish friends. ya I know what you're thinking. This place is for love. They love it I love it. Welcome to the block big lips. Crack open read more

Not easy to find parking for this place but so worth the visit! Always have crab, shrimp and live fish available. I love the quality of the crab and shrimp here! The workers are always super nice and the transaction is always quick! read more

Called and asked if they had something, the woman on the phone was really nice and said they did have it! So I came, someone at the door asked if I needed help finding anything and led me right to what I needed. Also ended up getting some blackberries for $1 and they gave me a lot! Staff was super friendly. read more

Tired of going to the movies? Date nights are getting stale? Sick of being disappointed and overpaying at hyped up restaurants that don't live up to the hype? Well here's an idea, fellas.....how about cooking your special someone a LIVE CRAB or LOBSTER??? Okay, maybe she doesn't have to be special, just someone you're trying to sleep with. This will do the trick! She can also play with her dinner while you're prepping. Hoi Yeung Co is my go to spot when I'm in the mood to cook live seafood. There are several stores in Chinatown but this spot is my favorite because their prices tend to be SLIGHTLY CHEAPER. Also their Dunganese crabs tend to be bigger (bigger is better, right?). They also have a nice seafood counter (ie. scallops and oysters). Prices of the crab and lobster vary depending on market price but it's usually $7.99-$10.99 per pound. There's also a small paid lot ($2-3) half a block down the street if you can't find street parking. So fellas, jazz up date night, battle the madness at Chinatown and pick up some live seafood at Hoi Yeung Co and surprise that special someone (or some girl you're trying to sleep with) with a fresh, home cooked seafood meal! read more

Hoi Yeung - 7.99/lb....each crab was a little over 2 lbs. - Seafood Markets Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I decided to go there based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Yelp. What a huge mistake! This place is way overpriced than all the other seafood markets I've been to. I had to buy some lobsters and it was more than doubled the price. I was hoping the lobsters would at least taste good but no those lobsters taste horrible and flavorless. Never go back again. read more

Great customer service. The guy who I think was the owner/manager answered all my questions and was very patient with me. Came in here to buy dungeness ($7.99/lb) and oysters ($3.99/lb or $45 for 60 oysters). The crab was pretty much cut and dry (I want 4, came to around $60) but the oysters needed a bit of thinking as they had pacific oysters (which were large and have heavy thick shells) and wantinf about 3 dozen, it would cost the same or even more than the box of 60 oysters for $45. I asked the guy to weigh a dozen oysters so I had an idea how much three dozen would be ($17/dozen). He willingly obliged and took some oysters to weigh them. I ended up telling him I want them by weight rather than waste a lot of oysters by saving money and buying a box. He then went on to say that he will give me 30 oysters for $25. I was ecstatic! They packed my oysters in a plastic bag with ice to keep them fresh and off I went. They validate if you park in the lot beside the market. Went home and spent the whole afternoon shucking my oysters. They smelled and tasted like the ocean, salty, sweet and fresh. The crabs were so fat we had to dump rice in it to clean out the guts. Yummmy!!! Will come back here again. read more

I'm a huge supporter of mom & pop stores, so this one fits the bill quite nicely. They have a great selection of seafood from shrimp to salmon to oysters. Available items obviously vary since seafood is seasonal. I got four Maine lobsters here for a BBQ and the meat was delicious. I've had problems in the past buying live lobster from other stores because they keep them too long and the meat shrinks. The store is good at turning over inventory quickly so everything I need is always fresh. There is usually a crowd in the afternoon and also early weekends. I believe the owners valid for parking across the street if you purchase over $25 dollars. read more

$8.99/lbs lobster sounds cheap, but when u get a lobster & it comes out $15+, it's not that cheap. And they put the lobsters in a big brown paper bag before weighing. I go to San Pedro, where I buy a lobster for $16/17 & they cook it for me for free. Usually lobsters have meat in the tails & claws. So it's not a lot. Unless u can spend hrs cooking lobster bisque :) Ultimately, it's a bit pricy for lobster there. I'd rather buy lobster tails from Von's/Ralph's. I'd get almost same amount of meat for much more cheaper price. I also wanted to buy small fresh squid for calamari. But they had big frozen squid (the kind u get in thai restaurant) and it was expensive. $7.99/lbs for squid is ridiculous. Buy fresh small squids from Sea Food Market for $2 or less The good side is, you can buy live fresh Lobster, crab & tilapia from here. And the customer service is pretty good read more

Hoi Yeung - Close to 1.5lbs lobster each. Came out somewhat $24ish - Seafood Markets Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Freshest fish in Chinatown. Their selection of seafood is fantastic and their prices great. The staff is very friendly too!

Bought a box of 100 oysters today, for a great price! 100% would go back. Friendly and helpful! Freshest oysters my family has ever had! Will continue to go here for all my seafood needs! This place is a gem! read more

This is a small little fish market in Chinatown. It's a great place to pick up fish if you're in the area, if it's live seafood/fish, the employees there will clean and gut the fish for free. Reasonable prices. Parking is difficult on weekends, but if you don't a little walking, there's always street parking on the streets behind the store. read more

I went there on Mother's Day morning (Happy Mother's Day to me), and there was a little line out the door. The place is small, clean and everyone was super helpful. I asked questions about the different types of crab legs, and no one made me feel rushed. The person helping me (wish I knew his name) helped me get the right amount for the three of us. When I asked for more (my kids are big eaters!), he suggested I buy less! What merchant does that? A honest one, that's who! He was worried that we might not be able to eat it all, but since I insisted, he gave me some pointers on how to freeze the leftovers. I got two different kinds of crab legs, and they were delicious! Is it more expensive than grocery stores when they have a sale? Yes. But it was super fresh, and the service great! Totally worth it, and definitely a place I'll buying from again. read more

My family's new go to place for fresh and live lobsters, crabs and tilapia and frozen head on shrimp.They offer a variety of seafood (fresh, live and frozen) and also things you would possibly need with cooking seafood such as vegetables, dry noodles, Asian condiments: vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, sauce and etc. It's pretty awesome! The prices are reasonable but it changes depending on the season. The place is clean. The staff are always nice and friendly and they always do a great job in cleaning our fish. I highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for cooking seafood! read more

Hoi Yeung is a small store on North Broadway in Chinatown LA that has live Dungeness crabs in water tanks and fresh oysters on the shell my Dad wanted. Avoiding the trek to Redondo or San Pedro, this store has a small selection of fresh fish and live shell food. Got 4 live Dungeness crabs, half a dozen of fresh oysters on the shell for about $80, an average price but saved me the trip south to Redondo or San Pedro the day before Christmas. Customer service was great, very helpful and nice. read more

This store has very fresh seafood Their grouper fish so delicious! This is definitely my go-to place when preparing fish for my family read more

If you want some F.R.E.S.H seafood, this is the place for you! The variety of seafood here is unmatched. They have crab, oysters, lobster, conch, octopus, tilapia, snapper, you name it.

Not to mention they have the best customer service that I have ever experienced! read more

Living in Downtown LA it's hard to find cheap high quality seafood, this hidden gem in Chinatown is the lace to go... They have small sorts of different shrimp and live lobster and crabs as well... Definitely my go-to for any big dinners I'm preparing for my guests...a bigger selection would be nice. It it has all the essentials and during this time of quarantine you can't really ask for much more... Workers are extremely helpful and knowledgeable... Some help support this small business!! read more

I absolutely love coming to this market! I go so often that the staff have started to recognize me and are so kind to me. The seafood is fresh and delicious. I doubt I'll ever look for another market while I live here. I can't recommend enough! read more

Today my daughters and I came here for the first time and I have to admit that this is one of the best places to come to for "fresh" seafood. This is from the words of someone who is originally from Oakland, CA which is in the SF bay area where the seafood is amazing and decently priced. I purchased 4 Dungeness crabs and shrimp from them which came out to about $120 for all of it and in regards to the Crabs, they literally cleaned them for me for no additional price which was great. They are extremely reasonable for what I got. Also their customer service is awesome! They are extremely nice and helpful so I would definitely suggest if you want to come to a place for fresh seafood that is decently priced and have great customer service, this is the place to come to and as I already advised them, I will be back! :)) read more

My second time using them for my annual crab boil! 60lbs of crab 36 of which was live blue crab that they cleaned and put on ice for me, a case of snow crab and a case of fish that they thawed and had ready for the day of my event so i wouldnt have to thaw and store it myself!!! I appreciated their happy faces and them going the extra mile for me. read more
