The friendly waitress brought us a pitcher of ice water, which was great on a warm day, and a basket of tortilla chips served with a warm, spicy bean dip; a pico de gallo sauce; and a selection of 4-5 bottled hot sauces. We ordered the shrimp enchiladas with green sauce; a Michealada; and three shrimp gobernardo tacos. Everything was fresh, incredibly delicious and with very generous servings! We both took home enough food for another meal! We will definitely return on our next visit to the Valley. Adding it to our lunch list now..

Excellent hot sauce selection. Decent beer selection and they offer frosted mugs if you want one. Not just fish - they also have plenty of steak, chicken and vegan options. Avg price for 2 tacos is $14. Entrees in the $20 - $40 range. This was our first time and we can't wait to come back. 5 stars and recommended!

After the shenanigans next door, we both decided to try this Crab House that everyone is talking…read moreabout. I have been wanting to eat here for quite some time now. Love seafood and the whole works. I heard they even offer you a bib, to get messy, which I am so down for. Anyway, same thing happened at this restaurant. A confidential envelope was posted on the door and we were not able to get in. Both sides of the doors were locked. Some other mail was on the ground and 2 were inside the restaurant. I don't know what is going on with both Oliva and this Crab House restaurants? It was dark inside as I snooped to see what the place looked like, was not able to see anything, except one side of the restaurant the chairs were placed on top of the tables. Again, either they are going out of business, or sold the restaurant to someone else. We dialed their number, no answer, left a message (twice), and no one called us back! Even until today. What a shame!! Was so looking forward to it. We were there on the 7th of this month at 12 noon. My friend drove all the way from Tarzana so we could have had lunch, but both restaurants let us down..

Good food and ambience!…read more We haven't been here since before Covid so a few things changed. They require a card on file while dining (supposedly lots of dine and dashes before) and there's a 1% service fee. I thought they had combos before but all the seafood is by the lb. We were recommended not to take the drunken special sauce so we opted for all-3 which was perfect! We got snow crab legs, shrimp and clams with the corn, potatoes and sausage and were stuffed! Plenty of parking and bathrooms are clean!

Food is okay, this place is overpriced and they are price gouging the crab, the shrimp they sell is…read morevery small and double what you would pay for at boiling crab. The bags come with minimal sauce and they charge 5$ extra for extra sauce. Service is not great either, they treat their guests like CRIMINALS and make you put down your ID or credit card for a pound of shrimp, not the ambiance i'm going for. For the price you pay i'd expect better service and cleaner facilities. The bathroom floor was sticky and it smelled horrible.

I turned to my friend and said "I think this is my favorite sushi spot now." I heard about the…read moreJoint Seafood and investigated yesterday - going in to just sniff things out. The space is really quite large. I was happy to see there was a seafood counter with a display case of smoked fish, a couple of dips, aged beef. The guys were super friendly behind the counter. I spotted the cafe area where they serve coffees and teas - I made a note that I had to come back to try that. Back to the deli counter - they recommended I try the smoked sea bass since they don't get it in often so I took some of that and a smoked salmon collar. The hand roll bar was empty since it was late in the afternoon but too early for dinner. I promised the sushi chef there that I would return. So I went back today with a couple of friends. We sat at that hand roll bar and had the best hand rolls I've ever had. We ordered a la carte and I absolutely loved those creations - full of flavor, texture - unique and tantalizing! I'm curious to go back and try some of the other things on there like the burger? the shabu shabu? I can't wait to see how they serve those items. Their little market area is fascinating as well - with small bottles of soy sauce aged in bourbon barrels and other delicious sounding ingredients. I did end up taking home a shaker bottle of their house made furikake. Can't wait to try that! I'm so happy this is in the neighborhood. It's a great spot to introduce friends to and serves as inspiration for anyone who loves to cook.

There was a mix-up with my order once, and she handled it with so much understanding and professionalism. She corrected everything right away without any hassle, which I really appreciated. What makes this place special is the way they treat you like family. The energy, the service, and the consistency are unmatched. And let me just say, the fish fry is hands down the best seafood in the Valley! If you're looking for great food and even better customer service, this is the spot. Thank you, Darlene, for always taking care of me!

The service, special table seating, dinner menu selections, and wine list selections were great. Our server, Cassidy, was awesome. We requested a special appetizer not on the menu, she asked the chef if he could prepare our requested fried zucchini and it was done! A delicious slice of Key Lime pie completed our final dinner treat! We are infrequent guests at this restaurant, but it is always a pleasure when we travel from Ventura county to dine at King's!

We were in the area so why not stop at Kings on a rainy day (not as rainy as today!)…read more Service was excellent as always as was the food. I've never tried the sushi platter before, I've had California roll or Hamachi but this was nice and with the oysters and bread pudding plenty for two people with what I consider normal brunch/lunch appetites! The oysters are always fresh and I like the garnishes. The sushi was also really nice and a chance to try a few different pieces at once. The bread pudding was good but it's just not my favourite dessert in the world. The portion was huge! I like the atmosphere, there is never any drama or loud shouting but ambient. As always I'll be back next time I'm in the area !

First of all, the restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful. The whole place is so thoughtfully…read moredesigned and honestly SOO insta-worthy. It has such a pretty, upscale feel without feeling uncomfortable or overly formal. Definitely a place where you'll want to take pics for the gram. We ordered the tuna tartare, calamari, squash blossoms, sweet corn agnolotti, and chicken piccata, and honestly, everything was really good. My favorites were the tuna tartare, squash blossoms, and sweet corn agnolotti. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared, and I really enjoyed the different flavors throughout the meal. The chicken piccata was probably my least favorite, but it wasn't bad at all. It was just a little too lemony for my taste. I know chicken piccata is supposed to have that bright lemon flavor, but I felt like the lemon was a little too heavy and it didn't have quite as much depth as the other dishes. Overall, I had such a nice experience here. The food was great, the restaurant is GORGEOUS, and the atmosphere is definitely a big part of the experience. I would absolutely come back and try more of the menu!

I rarely ever remember to leave Yelp reviews, but this restaurant was EVERYTHING. The place was…read moresuper clean with such a cute aesthetic.

Definitely worth coming back for.

A Hidden Gem for Fresh Seafood & Family Vibes!…read more We visited Marisco Corona as a party of six--four adults and two toddlers (under 3)--and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Despite it being a busy spot, we were seated right away, which is a huge plus when you have little ones in tow! The Drinks & Starters We started with the Horchata and the Pineapple Water (Agua de Piña). Both were refreshing, authentic, and clearly made with care. If you like traditional Mexican drinks, these are a must-try. The Food Everything we ordered was packed with flavor and felt incredibly fresh. A standout for us was the homemade corn tortillas--you can really taste the difference! Our table shared: * Mojarra & Pescado al Mojo de Ajo: Perfectly cooked and seasoned. * Lobster Plate: Succulent and generous. * Surf & Turf Tacos: These were a highlight! Loaded with carne asada and creamy guacamole, then topped with perfectly grilled shrimp. Each plate comes with rice, beans, and a side salad, but they are super flexible--we were able to substitute fries for the rice and beans on some plates, which is great for picky eaters or just a change of pace. Service & Atmosphere The restaurant is tucked away in a shopping center, so parking was easy to find, which takes the stress out of the arrival. Even though the dining room was buzzing and busy, our waitress was incredibly nice and the entire staff was well-attended to our needs. Bottom line: If you're looking for delicious, flavorful seafood in a family-friendly environment, Marisco Corona is the place to go. We will definitely be back!

This place came up several times when I researched on great restaurants that have excellent vibes…read moreand great food. Although it didn't really necessarily show up as "the best food in LA area" but all the reviews were so good so I became curious to try. Mainly the reviews also raved about the vibes, services, and live music. Well, they were not wrong! It was fairly easy to make a reservation through Opentable, and I made a reservation for two people for my birthday dinner on Sunday night. I put on the notes that it's my bday so it'll be nice to get a nice table near the stage. I didn't have a high expectation, cos I'd never been to the place and I didn't make a call or anything. But wow, they definitely gave us a great table at the very front! As many reviewers had mentioned, the acoustic of the restaurant is really great. You can barely hear other people's conversations. There's a live jazz band playing, so you can really enjoy that. Although it made it slightly hard to hear what other nearby people say to you either, haha. Our server Dawson was a really great one! Very nice, very informative and just has a great vibe that made you feel comfortable to converse with him. We also asked if he could take a picture of us and he went above and beyond with taking our pictures haha. He took the table lamp as our additional "lighting". Such a great service! Dawson also made a few suggestions on food. We ordered the milk bun (so great!), the tiger prawns tostada (omg, my favorite of the night!), braised lamb pasta, pork belly risotto, and roasted broccolini. Everything was really good and really filled us up! We also got the "smokin old fashioned" and "Wake up and repeat" cocktails. It was plenty of food for us so we asked for a check. Dawson asked if we wanted a dessert but we were already full. He asked if it's ok to give us a lil treat for my bday. It was a really nice dessert :). Oh I forgot to mention that they also put a small bday card on the table for me. The prices of food and drinks are on the higher sides, but I feel like it's worth it due to the live music and the vibe. It easily covers the entertainment part. We definitely will go back and recommend this place for anyone who's looking into a nice date night or to celebrate something special. I was informed that Friday has more of a "party vibe" here, although it's still a jazz performance. Sunday feels more laid back :) Overall I'm really pleased by this place. I used to think that I don't care that much about excellent service as long as the food is great, but I was wrong. The excellent hospitality just made the night even better than expected. Thank you for making my bday dinner memorable.

This place was on my list and we happen to pop in at 5pm but reservations are highly recommended…read more It was a little difficult to find because it's just a door without any signs, but I saw the valet guy pop out so we figured it was the entrance. The usually have a live band after 7pm and the sound in the resturant is amazing. It's like a recording studio. The staff was very friendly! The decor and ambiance was also impressive. Definitely swanky but down to earth vibes. I got the rasberry beret cocktail and it was different but fabulous. Not sure how else to describe it. It was refreshing. We got the tiger prawns and it was presented as a toasta, which had a great flavor and texture. The apple salad was also refreshing and a good portion to share between 2 people. The broccolini was cooked perfectly and my favorite after the tiger prawns was the Dungeness crab pasta. It had uni on top! The uni elevated the dish, and honestly there were a good amount of crab meat in the dish. Overall well balanced and creamy. The 2 of us left full and satisfied. Highly recommend this place for a date night. There's also plenty of street parking when we went but there is also valet for $15.
