It's one of those "low-key hidden but worth finding" spots. Don't let the location fool you! I went on a Tuesday during the week when it wasn't busy at all -- nice and chill vibes. But babyyy once 6 PM hit? Dinner time activated. The crowd definitely started rolling in and you could feel the energy shift. So just know traffic picks up later in the evening if you're planning a visit. Now let's get into what matters: The staff? Super attentive and kind. I love when servers check on you just enough without hovering. And the food came out HOT. Not warm. Not "it's been sitting." I'm talking steaming, fresh, straight-to-the-table heat -- which is exactly how a crab boil should hit. Portions were generous because I was overly stuffed and still had plenty left over for the next day (which honestly might be the best part). Nothing like reheating a seafood boil and running it back. Thank you for hosting me and my guest -- we had such a good experience. I'll definitely be back for my next crab boil fix lol

I love me a good seafood boil and unfortunately this place was not that…read more The wait is long, prices are high, quality is below average, and flavor is lacking.... We waited for 30 minutes to be seated even though plenty of tables were open, waited another 30 minutes to place an order, waited another 40 minutes until the food came out. At least the decor was "cute" pretty standard for a seafood boil and had TVs. We got 3 pounds of shrimp with the flavor mix and the spiciest level of heat in addition to some Cajun fries. The seafood was so bland and the fries were so dry with little to no seasoning.

Initially, I was very skeptical of this place because I had tried other shops before for a fish…read moresandwich and have been either unimpressed or just felt like I was getting little for what I paid for. Location: in the shopping center on Redondo Beach Blvd. and Western Avenue. The entire shopping center is mostly food related with a lot of Japanese restaurants. Food: I really wanted a fish sandwich and I didn't wanna go to McDonald's for it. I really wanted a GOOD fish sandwich. This one had a toasted bun, cheese, and a slathered layer of tartar sauce for the spread. Accompanying the dish came with homemade chips. You can ask them to take out items that you don't want in your sandwich, but you can't swap out the potato chips for any other side dish, unfortunately. This sandwich was hearty, not small and just the lightest crunch on the breading that I particularly enjoyed for a fish sandwich. Homemade chips were OK as some of them became limp, but were decently salted and not swimming in their own oil. Despite the cheese, the sandwich was not overly salty. Summary, I would come back here again the next time I get a craving for a fish sandwich. The service was helpful and friendly and the ambiance was open air and modern with plenty of seating available. Parking is shared, but the lot is large considering there are other restaurants in the same shopping center and can get quite crowded on busy nights. I'm sure they had other offerings besides a fish sandwich up on the menu, but I really didn't pay attention to it as my focus was on a fish sandwich.. I would definitely come back and get this again. Happy eating!!

Key to success here is add a side of one of their many salsas, and add extra chipotle crema. Salmon Taco Cajun on Corn is all you need to say when ordered. I have celiac disease and have never had a cross contamination issue with one of their tacos but I always make sure to check visually its the corn taco and not the flour before I eat it. Cons- They need a larger kitchen. You can tell they are stuffed to the brim in there and it translates over to the customer experience. You feel like they are rushed, cramped, and either need more help or more room but youre never quite sure which. -Thankfully none of this impacts the quality of the fish taco, just maybe the time it takes to order it

Before anything else, they made sure my daughter had a cup so she could grab a drink, which may seem small, but meant a lot in that moment. It's rare to find places that genuinely prioritize kids like that. Then it got even better--when our food arrived, the staff surprised my children with a small Easter gift. Such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture! You can tell this isn't just about serving food; it's about creating a warm, family-friendly experience. The team was incredibly friendly the entire time, and their kindness didn't go unnoticed. As a parent, I truly appreciate restaurants that go out of their way to make kids feel comfortable and included--and this place absolutely delivered. Great service, thoughtful touches, and a welcoming environment. We'll definitely be back!

I told the…read moreemployee my name and I sat there to wait past the time it suggested for my Togo food.. while starving, and instead of paying attention to orders, several crew members were eating and hanging out. Meanwhile, my food was sitting ready for about 15 minutes getting cold, and no one bothered to call it out or bring it to me. It was honestly annoying to watch staff take care of themselves while completely ignoring guests. By the time I finally got my food, it wasn't even fresh anymore--just cold and disappointing. Service like that completely ruins the experience. I expect better awareness and professionalism, especially when customers are waiting right in front of you.

The snow crab, crawfish, mussels, and shrimp were incredibly fresh. Compared to Boiling Crab, their sauce is thicker and richer in flavor. The Medium heat was just right for us, but it might be a bit too spicy for others. We also ordered the Lobster fries, which really balanced the heat from the sauce--a perfect match! For drinks, we got strawberry and mango lemonade, and while both were great, my daughter loved the mango. The place is clean and has a great atmosphere. I'm definitely planning to come back.

As for food we got the Combo 2 and our choices were shrimp, clams and snow crab. We went with the Torpedo sauce for our boil cause it was a mixture of all their other sauces (garlic butter, classic cajun and lemon pepper) and we got it at a medium spice level. And oh boy oh boy did it set our mouths on fire but in the best way possible!! The sauce was everything we wanted it to be, spicy, savory, garlicky, tangy and just pure indulgence. To calm the heat though we also got cajun fries, rice, Thai tea and Jasmine milk tea. Sharing a meal with a friend is always nice but sharing a meal with a friend here is great. I believe food is the ultimate uniter and I'm happy we chose to go here!!

The menu lists market price for their seafood, but nowhere to physically see the prices so you must ask the waiter. I ordered a pound of head on shrimp in spicy torpedo sauce (their house combination sauce) and some mild cajun fries for sharing. The shrimp was well cooked and a nice aroma of garlic lingered from the chunks of garlic visible in the sauce. The sauce had decently chunky bits which adhered to the shrimp well enough and was delicious with a nice kick of heat. The shrimp were less than fresh but perfectly palatable. The Cajun fries were lightly seasoned, with a crisp (but not too crunchy) coating, similar to the exterior of an onion ring. They were great for snacking and whetted my appetite well. All in the food was good, but I just wish the shrimp was fresher to lend some subtle sweetness and fresh feeling to the dish.
