    Galley Special
    Kisha L.

    I love this place. It's always has phennominal staff and the food is soooo good., I love the batter and flavor of the fish and shrimp. Nice family atmosphere.

    Grilled Seafood Sampler
    Jeff B.

    Another reason I like Yelp. Traveling and looking for seafood. Shrimp House popped up. Place has been here I understand for over 40 years, with many of the employees here for 20 or more. It's not fancy (it's like a diner), but it's welcoming and comfortable. I like this kind of friendly, neighborhood-vibe, place. I ordered the Grilled Seafood Sampler with "light seasoning", plain baked potato and veggies. My partner got the Manhattan Chowder and the Surf and Turf (with grilled shrimp and sirloin), baked potato and veggies. Manhattan Clam Chowder - broth was a bit more thick than I'm used to, which I wasn't happy about, but there was a very peppery flavor which my partner and I both enjoyed. I wouldn't get it again because of the thickness of the broth, which I'm assuming was flour or some other thickener. (One reason I prefer Manhattan over Boston chowder is that the Boston uses cream, so it's rich and thick. I prefer the tomato-broth texture and flavor). The Grilled seafood sampler was very good. A nice piece of white fish and a skewer of shrimp and one of scallops. The skewers also had onion and green pepper, which enhanced the flavor. The veggies were well prepared and a good portion. The potato was good too. They did lighten the seasoning on my meal as I requested, which I appreciate. My partner liked the steak and shrimp and their sides also. The staff were friendly and attentive with water glasses and checking in from time to time. The place has a nice menu and the specials sound good. Although not a fancy place, a very solid place for seafood and other things.

    Pint of White Clam Chowder
    Emily L.

    I have driven past this place thousands of times, and I finally had a dying craving for a cup of white chowder so I thought this is finally the time. Picked up a cup during work lunch, it was velvety, thick, and had the perfect amount of veg and clams!! Definitely got the craving satisfied. Would definitely come back for more!

    Large shrimp compared to the jumbo shrimp - large was wayyyyy better

    Wonderful service and good food. I didn't know what to expect coming in but I was pleasantly surprised! Everything was cooked perfectly, well seasoned, and delicious. The staff are so friendly and make it a super comfortable experience, as if you were having dinner at a friend's house. Ample parking in a large lot.

    Pirates combo and Ship combo
    Val G.

    I have been here in a while, which is unusual because we love this place, especially my oldest son. Today three of us shared two plates and we left really full. We ordered Pirates combo and Ship combo. I loved their clam chowder and enjoyed our salad. The Ship combo included two sides and we got fries and veggies. We split some shrimp, fish and scallops and everything was very good. The service was great and our tea's and coffees were constantly filled. Great to see that this place has been around for such a long time.

    Monday Sirloin Steak Special

    I love this place for a dinner vintage Americana experience. Decorated with pub and sea captain memorabilia it's a fun place to go. Service is beyond exceptional wait staff is ultra polite and accommodating. Food will not upset your stomach and is substantial diner food . Check out their daily specials get a great lunch and ask for the hot mustard to mix with the cocktail sauce . Casual vibes and my mother loves the music they play here .

    Stopped in for the first time for lunch with a friend and sure am glad we did. This place is a classic example of a east coast fish shop. They do it all , fried , grilled , steaks , chicken But we got the classic Chowder , they have both white and red ( New England ) I had a sample plate of fried fish , shrimp, scallops with two sides rice and coleslaw. My friend had the same but grilled. Delicious food with excellent service. It was very busy for a Friday lunch so we sat at the counter and glad we did. The ladies working are extremely friendly and make the whole experience at the Shrimp House that much more enjoyable. Lots of parking and plenty of seating but things are made to order so it does take time to make good food. Wonderful place for lunch and dinner

    Merchant's Grub
    Jon R.

    Arrived and was greeted right away, was busy for dinner came in around 7pm. Ordered the merchants galley combo. Came with a decently large fish filet and 3 large shrimp and two sides. Restaurant was decorated nicely with a bunch of nautical artwork. A quick inexpensive meal. Very reasonable prices

    This is one of the only seafood spots around. It has been there for at least 4 decades. Staff is always friendly. Vibe is old school seafood. I really enjoy the clam chowder and the batter is cracker meal base which I love. Great lunch or dinner stop to change things up. Worth dropping in if you are in the area.

    We all had a great time, with family all 9 of us for lunch. Service was amazing we love having shrimp and fish from here. Our server was so great and kind too. But that's how she always is here. Not busy here but we're there when they opened. A few large tables. And always very clean even the bathrooms. Very blue oceans murals painted on the walls has been there since this is second location bigger than the original one back in the day. I always get the jumbo shrimp But I got lunch special 5 lg. shrimp Fries onions rings..yum and coleslaw I love the hot mustard, an cocktail sauce We had apps onion rings baskets and fries ribeye steak, tender Steak sandwich good 3 Fish sandwiches good 3 fish taco plates good Fish taco looked really good they enjoy them Sorry I don't take pictures having to much fun. Everyone beers were cold and wine too Ice teas. We'll be back again until next time.

    I ordered two lunch specials for takeout and was told I couldn't get a clam chowder as a side. I ended up buying a small clam chowder, but it was the exact same size as the side portions which didn't make sense. The bigger issue was the customer service when my friends picked up the order and employee was rude and made a sarcastic comment loud enough for everyone to hear. it was unprofessional and unnecessary. My friend had just finished a 12 hour Caregiver shift and didn't deserve to be treated that way. I hope management addresses this and reminds employees to treat customers with respect. The food is awesome!

    I've been eating at this restaurant for seems like over 40 years. Starting with the one in Pomona/Claremont then the one in Fontana and now Arcadia. The amazing staff always makes you feel welcome I absolutely love that about the Ladies up front I'm sorry. I didn't get there names. I will and come back and update this review. I had the Lunch Seafood Combination with Fries and a Side Salad and it was just as good as I remembered it! The food was cooked perfectly. It is a drive for me but I try to get out there when I can. The restaurant is clean and waitresses are very attentive which I was really appreciative of not to mention they are really funny! They made me laugh so much during my time there. This was my mom's choice every time she wanted to eat fish My mom passed away in 1986 so that says how long I've been eating at Shrimp House. Keep up the great work and the amazing food. Please hang in there! When you make amazing food like you do, people will come!

    Bone in Spicy Chicken Wings

    Parking in the back. Greeted and seated right away. Everything on the menu looked so good! We ordered 2 plates of Pirates treasure with a choice of onion rings or fries and a side of manhattan chowder or white clam chowder. Manhattan has a of chile flavor to it. Our daughter ordered bone in spicy wings. Everything came out hot! That's how we like our food! However, in the end the food was just okay. My daughter ended up trashing 4/6 wings. She stated it tasted like it came from the freezer. Our fish also felt it came from frozen food. Didn't have any flavor. The breading wasn't stuck to the fish as well. The fried shrimp seems fresh and both chowders were good. The waitress was attentive and helpful. Overall, I would come back and try other items on their menu.

    Full menu not cutoff like the others

The service is still great, the restaurant itself is decently clean and spacious. Sadly, the food just wasn't up to the standards I remember. Salt & Pepper Shrimp 3/10 - Poorly seasoned and lacking the crispiness I was expecting. The shrimp just didn't have much going for it. Mongolian Beef 4/10 - This was basically steamed beef with green onions. The dish lacked the caramelized, savory flavor I typically associate with Mongolian beef. Clams with Basil 5/10 - The flavor was decent, but the clams did not taste particularly fresh, which really took away from the dish. Pan-Fried Pork 2/10 - Unfortunately, this was my least favorite. The pork didn't taste fresh, and the texture made it feel like it had been fried twice. The normally flavorful sauce it came with was also extremely bland. I'm actually very glad I came during lunch and paid lunch prices for these dishes. If I had paid dinner prices, I would have been extremely disappointed. The food from my previous visits weren't extraordinary, but at least it was "okay". However, after this visit, I have officially taken this restaurant off my rotation. I won't be returning.

    A 10/10 first visit, and I'm already planning my return…read more I stopped in on a Sunday around noon, party of one, and grabbed a seat at the bar. The place was fairly quiet when I arrived, but it picked up as my meal went on. The space is really well put together: nautical theme, interesting art, and lots of natural light from the windows balanced by dark wood furniture. You can watch the chefs cook from the dining area, and the long full bar has a great layout. They also had Sunday football on two TVs, which was a nice touch. It kept things casual without feeling too fancy or too much like a sports bar, just a great vibe for an afternoon of football and a good meal at the bar. The bartender made the experience even better. She was attentive, friendly, easy-going, and engaging, and she was quick, too. You can tell she genuinely likes her job. I'd checked the menu beforehand and spotted the mussels and fries. I love both, so I had to try it. The portion is big enough to share, but it works as an entrée if you're hungry. The fries come topped with a truffle garlic mayo, and the mussels arrive steaming hot in a delicious broth. You choose your spice level, and I went spicy. It was perfect, with plenty of heat that never buried the flavor of the broth. I usually only trust mussels near the ocean, but these were cooked perfectly and won me over. The pairing with fries is one I never would have imagined, and it works. If you like garlic, you'll love the broth. As the mayo melts in, it turns creamy and almost looks like a tomato bisque, seasoned to perfection with a flavor I've never had before. Even soaked in broth, the fries stayed crispy. One tip: I finished everything and still had a lot of broth left. My bartender offered bread for dipping, but I was too full and didn't know it was an option. Next time I'll save room or ask for bread right away. I also tried the seasonal spiked apple pie cocktail, with a cinnamon-sugar rim and a cinnamon stick garnish. It was flavorful without being overpowering, the kind of drink you could easily have more than one of. I'll be thinking about this dish until I'm back, which will probably be soon. I'm dying to try the mac & cheese topped with hot Cheetos, plus a few other things on the menu. Highly recommend!

The Brussels sprouts were probably my favorite, especially with the bacon bits and cheese on top. The ambience was really nice with a full bar, and our server was very attentive throughout the visit. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot for some happy hour bites and drinks you get your bang for your buck!

I was already in the area and when it was time for dinner I was walking around to see what looked good. I was so excited to see Stinkin Crawfish. It was weird though because I went to the restroom to wash my hands, and when I came back, they gave another group the table they gave me. I picked a different table, but I thought that was odd. After a quick glance at their menu I saw that they had Happy Hour is Monday to Friday from 4 to 6:30pm. It was a bit pass 6pm so I put in a Dozen Oysters (HH $15 | regular $33) while I looked at the rest of the menu. Ugh regret. These were SO BAD!! First off, the majority was not shucked, it was still attacked to the shell. I turned to the table next to me since I saw they had ordered oysters and I asked if theirs were shucked, and they said some were and some weren't. Oh goodness, so inconsistent. Then they also warned me that they got charged regular pricing instead of happy hour pricing. Also they didn't give me any utensils... so I had to go grab a plastic fork myself cause no staff was in sight and I had to scrap these oysters off their shells. First one not good. Second one, I drowned it in marinara sauce, still not good. Third one... SO BAD I SPLIT IT OUT... Fourth one, ALSO BAD. Okay I don't want to get sit... I'm over this... I just set it aside and covered it with one napkin to indicate I'm over it. Honestly they can see there were many untouched if they wanted to ask me how I liked them. Maybe I should have left but I made the mistake of ordering more food. I ordered a Raspberry Iced Tea ($3.75). Can't really mess that up but I want to point out that no refills were offered my whole time there. I did their Build Your Own with 1lb Shrimp ($17.75), 1lb Crawfish ($11 when added on to an order), with the Make it Awesome ($5.75) which is 1 corn, 2 potatoes, 3 sausages all in their Garlic Butter Mild. Okay... garlic... butter... can't go wrong right?? Well I'm wrong wrong wrong. I don't know HOW they managed to serve me the blandest cajun meal of my life. I am beyond baffled. I see the garlic. The color looks like butter. Definitely not mild, more like zero spice and zero seasonings. Even the limes they gave were dried out and bitter. My theory on the bland garlic was that it was prepped and frozen for so long it lost its' flavor. The seafood itself didn't taste fresh either. Bleh. It really needed a better sauce to mask the musky taste. Oh and the sausage was BURNT. Sigh. I think service tried to be nice. They did come and ask if I needed anything else. But honestly I didn't even want the food in front of me, let alone anything else. At the end they provided complimentary dessert to every guest. It was like a deep fried oreo with a scoop of ice cream on the day I went. The dessert was good. Just nothing else. Oh wait for it... when I got the check, I was also overcharged for the oysters, ringing up at $33 instead of the $1.50/oyster HH price being $15. The waitress was surprised and she even expressed how that happened to another customer (I know) previously and she had asked "him", who I assume is a manager or boss, to fix it in the system. Sigh... Apparently he didn't. The portions were fair, the pricing is fair... WHEN THEY RING YOU UP CORRECTLY. it just tastes bad. Low production quality. Maybe they are able to keep these prices by buying low quality product. Regardless I DEFINITELY won't be coming back. This meal, or rather the stuff that was edible, is not worth the calories. I rarely give 1 star reviews but I almost considered it... but no one was mean and I didn't get sick (because I spit up the bad oysters and stopped eating them). This is such a generous 2 stars review for the mess I had to deal with.

    First time: 5 stars We came for a birthday last year with…read moreextended family, and they were nice enough to give us one of the two private rooms. Service was great, food was great, and they gave free desserts for the birthday peeps. Second time: 3.5 stars Not sure what happened but went again recently with a smaller group of 4. Food was mixed-- Highs: Duck breast was so tender and perfectly cooked with delicious sauce and interesting side of grilled brocolli and mandarin. Truffle scallion noodle was their take on cold noodles, so rich with lick your plate good sauce. Middles: ribs pretty good and fork tender. Grilled fish collar was fine, nothing special, didnt like the sauce. Bottom: Sweetfish was super salty, to the point it was almost inedible. Pork lettuce wraps were tasty, but the middle part was not cooked through, to their credit the restaurant remade it for us Parking lot in back is free. Nicely decorated and modern look. Food was not super consistent, but worth checking out if especially if you need a private room

    Such a beautifully designed space, but unfortunately poorly executed food. I love the beautifully…read moreselected plates and serving dishes. We originally made reservations for DineLA, but had to move it. Luckily the day of, we called to do that, because we would've showed up to a closed restaurant? They said they announced it on their socials, so they didn't need to call those who made reservations, which is quite unprofessional. Although they were honoring DineLA for another week, we weren't available so made reservations for a different week to order à la carte. The braised pork belly was good, but very overpriced for what it was. We decently enjoyed the pork jowl, it was salty if you didn't eat it with the accompanying pickles and lettuce. The truffle cold noodles were actually pleasant; garlicky and a good fusion combination. Popcorn chicken, traditional, but had to send it back, as the chicken had an off putting taste. The duck bun looked pretty, but the bun was hard as a rock and the flavors didn't go well together. The drunken shrimp was underwhelming. You could tell when you peel the shrimp that it's definitely frozen and mealy and $18 for 4pc of frozen shrimp is wild. I love fusion when it's done well, some of their dishes are creative, but it's quite disappointing to see simple Chinese classic charged ridiculously high for a little portion just because they are trying to be "high end." $16 for popcorn chicken, you can get the same amount and better at a boba place for less. We wanted to try the fish collar: not available, clams: not available. Really wanted to love this place, but hopefully things change cause it really is a stunning restaurant. Shout out to our server though, he was kind, attentive, and friendly.

They are known for: Special Lobster (A+) Beef Loc Lac (A) Clams with spicy sauce (A+) Chinese broccoli (B+) - depends on how thick or thin it is Pea shoots with garlic (A) Eggplant (A) Yang Chow fried rice (A) Reservations are highly recommended either by calling or thru Yelp. There are private rooms in the back on request if you have a larger party and seafood is always fresh as they have an aquarium with lobsters, crab, geoduck, and fish. The decor is charming with vintage trinkets along the side of the wall. There is a waiting area by the lobby and restrooms in the back of the restaurant. Since it gets so crowded and busy the restrooms could be tended better. Parking is available on the street otherwise you have to valet on the lot.

    I had lunch at Newport Seafood Restaurant today with a friend I hadn't seen in a very long time…read more She recently reached out to me after being out of touch for quite a while and asked if I wanted to meet up. Today was a day that worked for me, so we decided to have lunch together and then get a massage afterward. Whenever I come to this area for a massage, I usually have lunch at Boston Lobster. I've heard that Boston Lobster was opened by a chef and some of the staff who used to work here at Newport Seafood Restaurant, so I wanted to come back here after a long time and compare the two restaurants for myself. First, parking. Boston Lobster has regular self-parking, while Newport Seafood has valet parking, which was $2. As for the food, I ordered one of my favorite dishes, shrimp with cashews. I've had it at Boston Lobster many times, and I definitely preferred Boston Lobster's version. We also ordered beef with tomato sauce. Honestly, it didn't look particularly appetizing when it first came out, but once I tried it, it was actually pretty good. We also ordered beef chow mein, and this was probably my favorite dish of the meal. It almost had a slightly Thai-food-like flavor, and it was really delicious. As for the service, this is where I noticed the biggest difference between the two restaurants. Every time I go to Boston Lobster, everyone there is always extremely friendly and welcoming. Here, some of the staff were friendly, but some were not friendly at all. The hostess who greeted us when we first arrived was very nice. After we sat down, she brought a small cucumber dish to our table and asked if we wanted it as an appetizer. We politely declined. Then a male server came to take our drink order and asked whether we wanted hot tea or water. I asked if they had any caffeine-free hot tea, but he didn't seem to understand me. My friend repeated the question very slowly, but he still didn't seem to understand. After we explained it one more time, he finally seemed to get what I was asking and asked if I wanted jasmine tea. I said yes, so we had jasmine tea. It was extremely hot at first, so I also asked for some cold water without ice. Later, while we were eating, we needed to serve ourselves some of the chow mein. The spoon that came with the chow mein wasn't really useful for picking up the noodles, so I asked for an extra pair of chopsticks. The server brought the chopsticks over and basically tossed them down on our table. Honestly, I found that pretty unpleasant. My friend and I looked at each other while we were eating and said, "What was that?" My friend even commented, "Chinese restaurant staff can be so unfriendly sometimes." That has never happened to me at Boston Lobster. The staff there have always been very friendly and attentive whenever I've gone. I had actually been to Newport Seafood Restaurant several times before the COVID pandemic, and I even got their lobster for takeout back then. I remember it being so delicious that, during the pandemic, I once saw on Google that the restaurant was open and drove all the way here, only to find that it was actually closed. I remember being pretty disappointed that day. So coming back here again after such a long time brought back some memories. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed with the service today. On the positive side, I found the restroom here to be cleaner than the one at Boston Lobster. However, the toilet here flushes automatically rather than having a manual flush, and I actually found that a little inconvenient. One nice advantage here is that they have private rooms, which would be great if you come with a larger group and want to sit separately with your own party. They do have lunch specials on weekends, which is nice. But personally, I think I'll probably go back to Boston Lobster next time. Their prices are actually about $1-$2 cheaper, I prefer their food overall, there's no valet parking charge, and most importantly, their service has been consistently much friendlier in my experience. So while I enjoyed coming back to Newport Seafood Restaurant after all these years and I did find some dishes here very good, Boston Lobster is still the place I would personally choose for my next visit to this area.
