This seafood restaurant is part of a seafood market, with a cozy dining area that includes a few…read moretables and plenty of seats along the oyster bar. It was my first time here, and I'm so glad I discovered this place! The seafood was incredibly fresh, and we honestly enjoyed every dish we ordered. The highlight for me was definitely the oysters -- they were so good that I had to order a second round . Another standout was the steamed mussels in white wine and garlic sauce. The mussels were huge, juicy, and packed with flavor. I was also very impressed by the miso black cod. It came with mushrooms in a rich miso sauce that paired perfectly with rice. Everything tasted comforting and well-balanced. Our server was also very thoughtful and friendly. He split the clam chowder into four smaller portions for our group, which made it much easier to share. One thing to note: the seafood market opens early, but the restaurant itself opens at 11 AM. And if you end up loving the fish from your meal, you can actually buy the same fresh marinated fish directly from the market to take home. Such a cool concept!

Best garlic butter shrimp ever! The head was kept on and the body of the shrimp is already peeled!…read moreThe shrimps were so clean, when we take apart the head, there's not a lot of gunk. Rice was also tasty with the shrimp oil and the garlic butter. A bit too salty but still very delicious regardless. The fillet fish was very crispy and meaty too! For appetizer we got the nacho and the spicy dipping sauce. This is free for the first bowl. Overall, this place shocked me but in a good way! The waiter was a young guy and was friendly, food came pretty fast too!

This is not even close to sanitary. He handles food, money, cleans the tables and just keeps the gloves on. The server knows little about the menu and by the way, the menus are greasy as are the tables and the floor. The bathroom is clean. We had lobster, shrimp and tacos. None of it was good. I mean it was not something we could or would want to eat. We trashed it all the minute we got home--we did not want to be rude so we had them pack what was left, which was most of it and tossed it. The prices are very high for what you get and the food is just a greasy mess. We had high hopes for this place. Oh, and I got sick and had to drive to work/pleasure the next day so that was fun. We will never be back.

She Recommended drinks and made sure to come correct on the alcohol level. I generally believe that restaurants and bars have secretly stopped serving actual alcohol in their drinks but not at PC. The restaurant was pretty quiet when we arrived but really picked up once we were leaving about 7. My only complaint and thus the loss of a star is that PC does serve smaller portions for Happy Hour. This really is not the point of happy hour. We come for a deal, and paying less for Waaay less is not that.

Reservations: Convenient to make through OpenTable though they're usually able to accommodate…read morewalk-ins. Parking: They have an adjacent paid parking lot though metered street parking is cheaper since they unfortunately don't validate. Ambiance: Really gorgeous inside, with high arced wooden beam ceilings, natural light through skylights, romantic dim lighting, candles, lots of potted trees for greenery, and velvet seating to add elegance. Even the plates are worth admiring. They have a nice patio with heat lamps for cooler evenings as well. I absolutely love the vibes for date night. I have eaten here four times now and have a reservation ready for my fifth. The menu changes EVERY WEEK and the fact that the ingredients are so seasonal, and the chef really seems to takes pride and passion in creating different dishes so often, keeps me coming back each time. They have done specials from Sunday Night $35 7-course omakase to 50% off Neighborhood Patio nights to $65 for two 4-course date nights and the quality is so worth it. I even came by for an art class hosted on the patio since they hold multiple community events, including sports watch parties. The best yellowtail I've had (including eating in Japan and various sushi spots in LA, OC, SF, and NY) was surprisingly here, at a place I was honestly hesitant to even order sushi from. It's the first time I actually really could taste the flavor as it's more subtle than tuna, salmon, or albacore but they somehow made it incredibly memorable from the freshness. Definitely order the hamachi with pomegranate. I loved the flavor with the ponzu and that it wasn't just the basic jalapeño combo. There was a Singaporean crab garlic butter noodle dish they made once that was incredible though sadly seemed to be on the menu that time only. This was my absolute favorite entree they've offered so far. The gem lettuces Caesar salad is amazing although unfortunately, both times I've ordered it without cheese, they forgot. The boquerones (anchovies) are a gem (ha) that really adds to the salad and I love the texture from the herb crust. Their signature shrimp toast has a good crunch from the sesame seeds and distinct pieces of shrimp rather than mush inside and the ikura on top adds another good layer of flavor. The vegetable curry was rich, flavorful, and savory witbout being too heavy with perfectly cooked potatoes that didn't just hide in the sauce in a way that actually didn't make me miss the meat. The short rib curry had such tender meat and the roti made in house was actually a major highlight for me as it was so flaky, hot, crispy and had an amazing garlic flavor. The chocolate pot de creme had a good orange zest flavor to add to the chocolate and wasn't too rich or heavy though the texture was thicker. The calamari had super crispy batter so didn't associate it as much with a lighter tempura one but the lemons in it and the roasted garlic marinara sauce it came with were so good and added a lot of depth. The butter curry prawns has SUCH well cooked shrimp - flavor was amazing. Miso salmon was good though crispy skin side up would have been better personally. I liked the olive oil flavor in the vinaigrette and the lemon with veggies on the side as well. The tres leches was surprisingly light for a cake and very moist so I enjoyed a lot and the caramel ice cream wasn't overly sweet. The lychee vodka drink is my favorite (came with a drink pairing they offered with Sunday omakase) and the imperial gold yuzu cocktail is better for those who like a stronger drink. The grilled asparagus was cooked to a tenderness with great flavor from the crispy onions on top that have somehow made it among my top favorite dishes here, despite it just being a small side vegetable dish but I didn't like asparagus until this! I would definitely recommend coming here for dinner over brunch personally, as those have been my most memorable bites. Definitely order the yellowtail sashimi, shrimp toast, gem lettuces Caesar salad! Hoping the garlic butter crab noodles, grilled asparagus with crispy onions, and housemade roti reappear on the dinner menu!

The owner of this place is so genuinely kind not to mark up the price while serving excellent quality food!!! The service was very casual since we order at the cashier.

You'll pay $40 at three places down the street for a lobster roll with less than half the lobster. The quesadillas are great at happy hour. My husband is a beef taco aficionado, my favorite are the lobster and shrimp. Their French fries are legendary. They DO NOT MISS on the culinary front. On to service. I've never had a place (in Santa Monica, no less) treat me like family like Blake and the boys do here. The restaurant's vibe is low-key, there's always sports of some sort on TV, and it has a cheers feel some nights. The high-quality food, a laid-back vibe with great service, and super reasonable prices are usually a pick-two-of-three in this part of town, but not here! If you're thinking about checking it out, definitely do. Take care of the gents at my spot.

We ordered Ms. Kim's seafood soup, the clam chowder, shrimp cocktail, and the catch of the day (Mahi Mahi). The soup was bland and lacked what I assumed was the Korean inspired flavor of Jampong. The chowder was good but was on the more savory side and the shrimp cocktail was fresh, thick and juicy. The downer for me was the catch of the day. The vegetables and salad were tasty but the fish was very bland and on the tougher side. It came with a mango salsa but I didn't get any of the flavor of salsa. Everything was pretty pricey as well. Overall costed us $100. Originally I wanted the grilled lobster or fresh crab but it didn't seem worth $70 for me. Overall it was a good experience, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way for this restaurant.
