    Fried oysters
    Vivian A.

    Flew into LAX and mentioned to my Pops that I was craving dungeness crab. He said "Let's go get some!" and told him "Say less". I saved this spot as it (no lie) came up when I asked chatgpt what was the best place in the LA area to get whole dungeness crab so I already had it saved as a back up. We arrived a little after they opened on a Thursday. There was another couple but we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. What we swallowed: *WHOLE DUNGENESS CRAB WITH CORN AND GARLIC NOODLES side: This was spot on. We ordered the mix seasoning (cajun and lemon pepper), mild with added corn. The sauce was sticky and gooey. I took the meat out of the crab and topped the crab meat with the sauce. It was SOOOO good. The garlic noodles were good, more garlic then flavor but it was still good. Topped that with the crab sauce too, lol. *FRIED OYSTERS WITH FRIES: The oysters were hot and tasty. They didn't have a weird after taste like some oysters do. Topped these with the crab sauce too. lol We really enjoyed our time here. There is parking in the back and code for the bathroom. The server was really attentive and made sure our experience was great. I'd definitely come back when I'm in town!

    Shirts I printed with the old manager.

    Unfortunately, I can't review the food today because the way I was treated by the new manager made me decide not to stay. I work under contract at a nearby medical facility and have enjoyed coming here for a bucket of crab during my lunch breaks. I've also completed work for this business in the past, so supporting them always felt especially meaningful--they trusted me with their work, and I was happy to return that support as a customer. Today, however, I wasn't greeted or made to feel welcome. Nearly everything the manager said--and, just as importantly, the way he said it--gave me the clear impression that he did not want me there. The interaction felt dismissive, uncomfortable, and very different from the hospitality I had experienced in the past. I can't speak to what was in his heart or what motivated his behavior, but I know how I was made to feel. Sometimes exclusion isn't communicated through an explicit statement; it comes through a person's tone, body language, and unwillingness to extend basic courtesy. I left without ordering and will spend my money somewhere I'm treated with respect. I hope the owners read this and take a serious look at how customers are being received under the new management.

    I stopped by here on a whim while in the area for a quick lunch and was not disappointed! Usually a crab boil is kind of pricey and comes as a large portion, so I was very excited to take advantage of their lunch special seafood boil. I got crab and crawfish with the garlic noodles and was very impressed with the flavors. I must say the presentation was a bit lacking as they just brought a plastic bag with food in it to the table, but that did nothing to take away from the taste. I think they're known for their all you can eat specials, which seems to be a awfully good deal! Dining area has floor to ceiling windows facing the street to let in plenty of light. A good lunch was had here and I would not hesitate to return when next in the area.

    All you can eat

    My wife and I have been crazy about anything Cajun. This place is at the heart of Korea town. Honestly, with the all you can eat option, and based on what things are inside, this is a deal. We went wayyy too crazy on this. But my wife and I keep coming back. The spices, the food, the gloves, it's all an experience. You've got to try it.

    Seafood boil
    Karen P.

    If you're looking for an affordable AYCE seafood boil in Central LA, this is your best bet! For $38.99 per person, you can have unlimited shrimp, mussel, crawfish, and clams with your choice of Louisiana or lemon pepper seasoning (and you can change the spice too). On a Tuesday at 6:30pm, it wasn't too busy but seemed to get busier during our meal. Staff is attentive and come by often to refill your waters, ask if you want another round, or if you need new gloves. There is a parking structure too! When I came in July 2025, the only 1 lane access in AND out was along 6th Avenue. The exit on Virgil was closed, for some reason, which meant sometimes you had to allow the cars to get out before you can get in.

    Their all you can eat is spectacular and the service is great! Also the location is very central The beer is also decently priced! Definitely need to come back

    AYCE
    Chloe L.

    The staff were extremely friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The food was delicious, and we were very satisfied overall. We visited with my little one and the restaurant was clean and family-friendly. They also had non-spicy menu options that were great for kids, which we really appreciated.

    I wasn't sure what to expect at first, especially since they don't have a liquor license. I'll be honest--I had a moment of "I don't know about this." But the second the food hit the table, all of that went out the window. The seafood was fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor, but the real surprise was the garlic noodles. As soon as those came out, I was hooked. Rich, garlicky, and absolutely addictive. One of those dishes you keep thinking about after you leave. Service was friendly, the vibe was casual, and the food more than made up for not being able to grab a drink. If you're on the fence, go for the food alone--it's worth it. I'll 100% be back.

    The "fish and chips"

    The fish and chips are not fresh. Everything i ordered tastes like it's been microwaved. Nothing has flavor. The coleslaw was decent but that's it.

    AYCE Seafood boil (cajun mild with shrimp, crawfish, clams, mussels, corn, and potato) Garlic noodles, and fried calamari!
    Danielle K.

    THIS PLACE IS SO UNDERRATED. I went yesterday with my boyfriend for my birthday after a long day at Universal and we were supposed to go someplace else but somehow ended up here. We saw the reviews about a rude server and were hesitant at first BUT we gave it a try and IT WAS THE BEST DECISION EVER! We got refills of the shrimp and crawfish and corn and went to town with it! We enjoyed the food so much we forgot to take a picture. The service was amazing! The server was very attentive and constantly asked us for anything we needed plus gave us new gloves and water refills before we asked for it! The ambiance is nice and most importantly the seafood is SO FRESH AND DELICIOUS IVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT ALL DAY TODAY AT WORK! Highly recommend!!

    Price increased within the last month from $34.99 to $38.99 for their all-you-can-eat combo. The AYCE (All You Can Eat) option includes unlimited servings of shrimp, clams, mussels, crawfish, corn, and potatoes. It also comes with a plate of garlic noodles and a "daily basket"--which, during my last two visits, consisted of fried chicken tenders served over a bed of French fries. When you order AYCE, you're also eligible for 50% off their crabs. You can choose your preferred spice level, but keep in mind that everyone in your party shares the seafood tray--so only one spice level is allowed per group. You also have the option to select the sauce from Louisiana, lemon pepper, or a mix of both flavors for an extra $1 per person. Honestly, I highly recommend going with the mixed--it's worth it. This has become my go-to spot whenever I'm craving a seafood boil. It's a solid deal for the price, though the seafood isn't the freshest--you can definitely tell when peeling the shrimp, but not horrible. They start you off with a tray containing a bit of everything, and you can request less of any item if you'd like. As you order more, they'll bring out a pot of freshly cooked seafood and pour it directly into your tray to keep all that sauce flavor intact. On my last visit, they added extra garlic and lemon pepper--it was absolutely AMAZING. The staff is attentive too, always checking in to offer fresh gloves or a new bin for shells, and they consistently come by when the seafood starts running low in our tray to see if we want to order more. Will be back for more!

    Went for AYCE and it was awesomeeeee, but please be mindful it is quite oily, which is the nature of the buttery sauce. Three people went and ate a mix of the shrimp, clams, mussels, and crawfish. Usually I don't want to pay for anything except shrimp to be full when it's per pound, but since it's AYCE I got to eat as much mussel and crawfish! It was amazing! Staff are sooooo nice and they're very attentive to your needs. They come by with gloves, napkins, water refills, take orders all before you even ask. There's a parking lot next door so no need to worry. Had a little wait during the weekdays, but a good number of people inside.

I ordered the chicken strips with fries, while my partner ordered a two-piece chicken dinner with macaroni salad and spicy rice. Although we had to wait a little while for the food, it arrived hot. We both agreed that it was some of the best fast-food fried chicken we had ever eaten. The chicken was moist and the batter was crispy. My fries were good, and my partner's macaroni salad and spicy rice were both flavorful. We especially loved the biscuit. I also couldn't help noticing that although the dining room feels like something of a relic, it is very well maintained. There were no dirty tables and no trash on the floor. I was genuinely shocked when the cashier came out to ask how everything was and whether we needed anything else. Most fast-food chains seem determined to eliminate as much human interaction as possible. Pioneer Chicken was a refreshing reminder that fast food can still be friendly, clean and satisfying. Pioneer Chicken is a winner in my book!

The chicken was also greasy, but not as greasy as the fish. Would I order again? No. Not because it wasn't good, but because there are much better chicken joints that are not greasy.

This time, we decided to try the Chinatown location since the traffic going toward Pasadena looked terrible. This location is pretty small and doesn't really seem set up for dining in. It feels more takeout-focused, although they do have some tables outside so we sat there. They didn't have the Mild+ spice level that the Pasadena location offers so I ordered two Mild and one Medium chicken tenders. I also got a side of collard greens after seeing several reviews recommending them. I felt like the spice level was higher at this location than at the Pasadena one. Even the Mild was definitely spicier than I remembered! It still had really good flavor, though. I also really enjoyed the collard greens and was glad I decided to try them. I'm not sure if it's just this location or if all of their locations do this now but they also gave us bottled water for free, which was nice. One thing I really liked about the Chinatown location was the parking. There's a huge parking lot across the street so finding a spot was easy. I prefer the Pasadena location for dining in but its parking lot is very small and finding a spot can be difficult. We'll definitely go back to Howlin' Ray's when we visit LA again next spring. We just haven't decided which location we'll choose next time!

Unfortunately, this visit was completely different and left us extremely disappointed. The night we went, there was a large party of at least 30 people gathered around the bar, which made it difficult to get in and out of the restaurant and took away from the overall atmosphere. We ordered the Bicol Express Mezzelune and Crispy Duck Pancit, along with the Clarified Ube Sour and Calamansi Mojito. Unfortunately, neither of us enjoyed the flavor profiles this time. The Bicol Express sauce was too sweet for our taste, while the filling itself was quite dry. The sauce on the duck pancit was also extremely salty. We were hoping our drinks would help cleanse our palates and balance out the meal, but they were forgotten and didn't arrive until the very end. To top things off, after we paid, our credit card wasn't returned to us, and we had to ask another server to retrieve it. Overall, this was a really disappointing experience, especially since we chose this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary and had such great experiences here in the past. We know they're capable of providing a much better experience, which made this visit even more frustrating. After this experience, it's unlikely that we'll be coming back anytime soon. That said, because our previous visits were so enjoyable, we might be willing to give them another try in the future and hope this was simply an off night.
