    Veggies for our hot pot
    Sherry T.

    I've been here several times and it's always busy. Be prepared to wait. Luckily, there is Yelp Waitlist. The key is to be here before 6pm. We came on a Friday night at 5:40 and was seated right away. A big restaurant with lots of seating and best to come with a group of people so you can order a variety of dishes. With that being said, restaurant is loud and packed. The staff is friendly and quick to help. Now, on to the food...it is so delish! Everything comes hot piping HOT, well seasoned, and oh so flavorful. I don't think I can pick one dish that's my favorite. Definitely coming back to try more of their dishes.

    Soft shell crab
    Michelle W.

    This was my first time trying a Vietnamese seafood restaurant and overall no complaints. All of the seafood was fresh, flavorful and unique. They have a wide selection of dishes that isn't just seafood but I would say it defeats the purpose if you're getting a meat dish at this place. The soft shell crab was super crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. The crab/shrimp fried rice was also pretty solid but I think I prefer Thai crab fried rice. We also got a beef hot pot which was my first time having viet hot pot. I don't think it's for me, the beef broth was sweet and I don't typically enjoy my savory foods to be sweet. The meat itself was really tender though, maybe if we opted for a seafood hot pot it would've been better. Service was standard, quick and friendly. The restaurant was clean and modern with ample amount of seating. I don't think I would go out of my way to come back here but it was still an enjoyable experience where I got to try new dishes.

    Mango Salad
    Ilene M.

    Food 5* Service 4* Ambiance 3.5 This is one of the best Vietnamese restaurants for seafood. The flavors are on point, each being so unique, not over seasoned or bland. The food comes out piping hot and so fresh. We waited 40 minutes for a table, but well worth the wait. I haven't been to Vietnam, but I've heard this food here is comparable from there. Definitely coming once a month here for my seafood fix!.

    When you're craving Vietnamese grilled seafood Oc & Lau is the place the go! We ordered their: - Mango Squid Salad - Grilled Gorlic Buttered Escorgot - Grilled Garlic Butter Oysters - Egg rolls - Cha Gio Cua - Grilled King Scallop w/Fish Eggs Our favorites were the Mango Squid Salad and the Grilled King Scallop w/Fish Eggs. Everything was flavorful, and the service fast and friendly. If you come on a weekend, there's definitely a wait.

    Fried tilapia
    Rick S.

    The seafood here was authentic (Vietnamese style), freshly made and delicious. My favorites were the razor clams, fried soft shell crab and tilapia. The staff were attentive and food came quickly. The ambiance is casual, bright and full of fried garlic-onion aroma. Highly recommended!

    Oc and Lau is the OG since I was a child; get on the yelp waitlist online to save time. Love their razor clam, whelks, escargo, the whole shebang. Hotpot are too damn spicy for me but now that I'm older, I kill it with some delicious beer. DZO!! Pay tip via cash if you love your server, great for parties. Servers might be hard to flag down but they work hard. Flavors can't be beat.

    It's been about 7 years since my initial review for Oc & Lau Restaurant & here I am, still coming here religiously whenever my fam and I are in town. If that bit of consistency doesn't speak volumes I don't know what will. Oc & Lau specializes in Vietnamese street food and essentially works in family style dining. Everything is brought out in platters & large bowls where food is shared amongst the table. The menu is filled with Vietnamese salads, snails, assortment of seafoods, rice, noodles, and hotpot. Vegetarian options are available. As if the menu isn't extensive enough, there is a whole section of drinks- alcoholic & non alcoholic. Must haves: *COCONUT ESCARGOT w/ BASIL LEAVES *GRILLED GARLIC BUTTER ESCARGOT *GRILLED RAZOR CLAMS IN GARLIC BUTTER & PEPPERCORNS *GRILLED RAZOR CLAMS IN TAMARIND SAUCE *SALT & PEPPER SQUID *SPICY GRILLED CHICKEN FEET *RARE BEEF SALAD *DEEP FRIED QUAIL IN BUTTER HOUSE SAUCE *GARLIC BUTTER QUEEN CLAMS The food is authentic and genuinely great! Ingredients are always fresh and the quality is on point. My complaints stem from the restaurant ALWAYS being "sold out" of the razor clams and the stir fried basil clams coming out soupy and off tasting to what they normally should taste like. Not too big of a deal once you factor in all the other great qualities Oc & Lau has. The pricing is costly and the portions can be small depending on what you are ordering. Things add up quite quickly since my family and I eat to get stuffed. Lmao. 5/5 stars because a trip to LA isn't a trip to LA without visiting O&L!!! I'll forever be a fan!!

    We came here for dinner on a Saturday and the wait was about an hour and a half, so be prepared if you're visiting during peak hours. This Vietnamese fusion seafood restaurant specializes in fresh seafood and hot pots. We started with the razor clams, which were the standout of the meal. They were incredibly flavorful and paired with a delicious sauce that had us wanting every last bite. The spicy scallops were another solid choice with just the right amount of heat. The escargot was a little chewy, but the savory sauce made up for it. For our main dishes, we ordered the Tom Yum seafood hot pot, which was just okay. We also had the deep-fried tilapia, which was cooked perfectly--crispy on the outside. It's hard to go wrong with anything deep-fried here. Overall, the razor clams and deep-fried tilapia were the highlights of our meal. If you're willing to wait for a table, this is a good spot for fresh seafood with a few standout dishe

    Grilled Escargot with garlic butter and peppercorn
    Yi C.

    One of my favorite Vietnamese seafood restaurants in the area. If you like anything and everything shellfish (claims, scallops, escargot, etc), then this is the place for you! Have been to this restaurant many times, and food is always consistent! Came visit to the restaurant last week, and ordered my favorite Grilled Escargot with Garlic Butter and Peppercorn, Grilled Scallops with Cheese, and my all-time favorite Chilean Sea Bass hot pot! The grilled escargots are a must-have when visiting this place! These are perfectly grilled with rich garlic butter for sweetness, and with a slight kick of spiciness from the peppercorn. Don't forget to also dip the escargot meat with black pepper and a few squeeze of fresh lime juice! If you like melted cheese, then the grilled scallops with cheese would be the perfect match. Each scallop is covered melted cheese and comes sizzling on a hot plate when ordered! Last but certainly not least, my favorite dish of this restaurant is the Chilean Sea Bass hot pot. The order comes with your own tabletop gas stove, along with a hot pot filled with a tom yum like sour soup base. For ingredients, it also includes a plate with slices of pineapple, quarter cut fresh tomato slices, fresh bean sprouts, rice noodles, and a full plate of large pieces of Chilean Sea Bass. Just put all the ingredients in the hot pot and let it cook for 5-10mins on high, I promise you it is one of the best soups you will ever have! Service is good as always. This place always seems to be busy, so you may have to be on the waitlist during certain business hours (eg holidays, prime dinner time, etc). Parking wise, the restaurant is located in a busy plaza, and so you may have to drive around a few times before finding an open spot. However as I said earlier, it's worth the wait. Highly recommended.

    Every time I come here, the restaurant is busy, which says a lot about the quality of the food. The hotpot is packed with fresh ingredients and a rich, flavorful broth that's perfect for sharing with family and friends. The standout for me, though, is their authentic Vietnamese snail dishes. The snails are fresh, perfectly cooked, and seasoned with bold, traditional flavors that remind me of eating street food in Vietnam. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere, the staff work hard to keep up with the crowds, and the service is friendly despite how busy they are.

    bread
    Jung Min L.

    Came here for the first time after a friend recommended it, and I can definitely see why it's so popular. It was super crowded when we got there, and we ended up waiting about 30 minutes for a table. But once we were seated and placed our order, the food came out pretty quickly. Everything tasted very fresh and had that authentic Vietnamese flavor. My favorite dish was the snail -- it paired so well with the sauce they provided. The mango squid salad was also really fresh and had a unique flavor that stood out. Overall, all of the dishes tasted like they were made fresh to order. The only thing I probably wouldn't order again is the bread. It was fine, but it was really just an ordinary loaf of bread and nothing particularly special compared to the other dishes. There are still so many other dishes I want to try next time, so I'll definitely be coming back!

    Mango squid salad
    Charles W.

    This place is the, Tell me you want to impress your date without telling me you want to impress your date spot to go!!! First, I will say use the Yelp waitlist option because the wait can be extensive and that tells you a lot about what you're getting into here. Second, the service is top notch here from the host/hostess to the waiter/waitress and everyone in between!!! Last but definitely not least whatsoever, the food is exquisite impressive knock your socks off blow you out the water damn good!!! We had mango squid salad and an order of clams with bread and pork rinds. The meal could've ended here and been a hit but into the entrees chargrilled oysters with garlic green onions and a bunch of flavors and spices that had our mouths and brains going nuts trying to figure out everything we're tasting!!! Every bite we tasted something we hadn't tasted in the bite before!!! Also we had the shaken beef with fried rice and yeah you can get that at almost anywhere I agree. But.... I'll put this shaken beef up against any other shaken beef around. The beef melted like butter, the sauce wasn't overpowering very well balanced with the onions peppers tomatoes and lettuce. I thought for sure when I ordered the fried rice it was going to be mid but damn was I wrong!! Perfect umami in every bite no need for any added sauce or condiments or to add anything at all!! All in all to sum it up this restaurant, the service and the food were all absolutely amazing!!! Everything executed to perfection!!!

    Calamari
    Alice W.

    Arrived on a Friday afternoon and waited about 30 min for a table of three. Everything we got was delicious! We tried the scallops, crawfish fried rice, calamari, crab and pork egg rolls and basil clams. I would definitely get the scallops and calamari again.

    Ask the Community - Oc & Lau Restaurant

    Are prices the same at both locations?

    Yes, same price , same owner

    Can I bring my dog sit outside?

    No, there's no outside seating.

    Are there options to omit the garlic in any of the dishes that have them? we have a person in our party that is allergic to garlic.

    Since there's outdoor seating, is my dog allowed to sit by our table?

    No outdoor seat just inside. Only during Covid was available. Sorry

    When are the razor clams in season? I haven't seen those available on the menu for quite a while.

    I had them there about a week ago, it's a popular item and then tend to "run out" but my impression is the item is always on the menu

    Does anyone know if the sauces are gluten free? I would love to take my friend one day, but she has an allergy. Thank you!

    There are plenty gluten free options there, including sauces... you would have to ask regarding several dishes however.

    This place is listed today as having outdoor seating. Is it still available? If it is, is it covered or heated? How many people can sit there? / April 25, 2023

    Since last week when I dined there, didn't see any more outdoor seating. I believe they resumed back indoor after the remodeling.

    How much are the seasonal coconut prawns?

    Are you open now at the location? It's early march so checking. Is there outdoor seating?

    I checked today (4/13/2022) and they don't do outdoor seating anymore but they are open

    Are they open now at this location?

    Yes they are open

    As of october 11 2021 how many tables do they have outside?

    For the location on gardengrove. They had about 4 tables outside

    Have Razor clam?

    Yes they do! Delicious!!

    They do take out for fresh scallop sashimi and oysters too?

    Probably no

    What are the hours?

    5:30pm

    Do they accept credit card?

    Yes they do

    Do they take reservations (not the yelp waitlist) for parties of 10 or more?

    Are you open for outdoor dining, yet?

    2021-04-08. Yes. Their outdoor dining tent is open. Tables are separated by plexiglass walls. They are also sanitizing after every customer.

    Will you guys be open for dine-in even when it is raining since you are set up outside?

    Yes

    Can we bring our dog for outdoor seating?

    Yes!

    Do they have razor clams? When I've called them in the past, their answer was YES. But I get there and they tell me they're sold out. Last time I left and went around the corner to Garlic and Chives.

    They do have it but it depends on the time you are there. Not sure if it was slow when you get there but usually they're out when it's rush hour. Also, if razor clams are in season as well.

Ambiance is spectacular - interior is absolutely beautiful and they have amazing attention to details. Restrooms were very clean and nice too. Location is perfect - on Brookhurst in a great Vietnamese plaza off McFadden with tons of other great businesses around as well. Came here on Sunday of Labor Day weekend for dinner with a friend. We conveniently arrived around 430pm, and they surprisingly have Happy Hour on weekends as well. We ordered the Deep-fried salmon bellies, Oxtail tacos, Garlic noodles, Oysters, and later Whole Mussels Skillet all from their Happy Hour menu. We were pretty excited since they looked like really good deals. Salmon bellies, oxtail tacos, and Whole Mussels Skillet were all good. Garlic noodles - bland, needs more seasoning and greens with them such as cilantro and green onions, more cheese - something. Service - a young boy and girl, Mason and another girl helping us were very sweet. And to what made you guys lose 3 stars - "Oyster (Oyster minimum order is 1 dozen) $2" My friend and I thought this was some Happy Hour only special promo, so cool. I asked and they're just raw oysters - honestly they weren't that good, should've been cooked and seasoned in some way. Basically they didn't have to try much for these, besides ensuring they're clean and safe for consumption, but I thought it was a good deal so worth a shot trying. Then I got the bill and was like WTF? And the worse part was the lady's attitude about it, saying how it's common sense (ie you're stupid for not understanding). The obvious right way to write that is "Platter of a Dozen Oysters $24 and $2 for each additional oyster", not "Oyster (minimum a dozen) $2" - WTF, and she acted like I'm the first to call her out on that. Said she can't do anything, it's obvious, but sure she can tell someone to make a note to update the menu and seemed to roll her eyes. Mason, the young server was nice and understanding, but I couldn't stand the basic Vietnamese woman with HEAVY makeup working at the front. My friend I had dinner with found her extremely rude too. Would I come back? Not likely anymore. Would I recommend them? If you're willing to pay for nice ambiance, decent food, but GOD-AWFUL SERVICE, then be my guest. As a Vietnamese person myself, I'm ashamed of people like these for perpetuating the cheapskate Vietnamese stereotype.

My friends and I were only able to make a dent on a quarter of the fish and had to bring the rest home. If you haven't tried the plum soda, definitely recommend. So good!

I had to come back a third time to put my friends on his fresh seafood and they were blown away too. This is now my go to spot for A5 and oysters. Oh, we met Bruce and shout out to him too. He's friendly and gave us good recommendations too. So I trust these guys. Given the nature of the high prices I'm happy I can trust these guys and know that it's worth every penny spent there. Give this place a chance to earn your business and you won't be disappointed!!!

    We stopped by on the way to La for lunch and didn't expect much for 23.99 , but this place was…read moreamazing The miso soup base was one of the best I've had, maybe it was the actual seaweed that they put in there but it was super rich in flavor The house special soup was also uniquely good, it was Thai soup base with just the right amount of lemon grass. The side selection was pretty typical outside of these razor clam that I've never seen before at a ayce hot pot place but they just went so well with the soup. The old lady that helped us was also extremely friendly and made sure we had everything we needed Overall, 10/10 especially for the lunch price

    I came during lunch when it was only $24, and it honestly felt like a steal for the quality and…read morevariety. The first thing that impressed me was how fresh everything looked. We arrived right when they opened, and the vegetables were vibrant, crisp, and fully stocked. My favorite soup base was the tom yum--it was packed with flavor and had just the right amount of heat and tanginess. I could've happily enjoyed that broth on its own. I also loved that the hot bar wasn't just an afterthought. They had unlimited marinated crab, stir-fried egg noodles, and several other prepared dishes that were actually worth going back for. The grill selection was just as good. The skewers and shrimp were my favorites, and adding a little of the provided butter while grilling made everything taste even better. The restaurant itself is spacious with plenty of seating, making it a great option for bigger groups or celebrations. The staff kept an eye on our table, cleared plates quickly, and were always friendly whenever we needed something. Between the fresh ingredients, flavorful broths, and great service, this is definitely a place I'll be returning to.

    We recently celebrated a friend's birthday at Roux Seafood Kitchen in Huntington Beach, and the…read moreentire experience was spectacular from start to finish. The vibrant Soju cocktails were the perfect way to kick off the evening, setting the tone for a truly memorable dinner. The food was exceptional across the board. We especially loved the Mardi Gras Pasta, which featured a delicious combination of shrimp, andouille sausage, chicken, and mushrooms in a rich marinara cream sauce. The 16 oz. Ribeye was grilled to perfection and topped with a flavorful Cajun butter, and we finished the night with their incredible beignets. Between the authentic New Orleans-inspired dishes, the warm ambiance, and the fantastic service, this spot exceeded all of our expectations. If you are in the Huntington Beach area, I highly recommend giving Roux Seafood Kitchen a try--you definitely won't be disappointed!

We just ordered two staples: Jambalaya & Shrimp Etoufee. Entrees came out in about 20 minutes hot, fresh & amply sized. They're reasonably priced, too! I'm glad we didn't order any apps b/c the entrees were more than enough food. Thought about getting the beignets, but I could not find any more room to fit them in! I had a glass of KJ Chardonnay to accompany the meal and it was pleasant. Service was very friendly and helpful from both servers working today. 5% discount if you use cash! Plenty of parking in the lot. Peace.
