Shereen- rue lulu reviews: We weren't sure what translates as the no1 restaurant on trip advisor. Let me tell you, the chef is a magician, brilliant blend of tastes... Get the soft shell crab& The squash with zucchini flowers.
Susan Tran: Decided to come here on a whim and had an amazing meal. Enjoyed the English peas, lamb belly, bone marrow, hanger steak, trumpet mushrooms and the affogato for dessert. Will be coming back again soon!
Michael Kane: Has some decent appetizer veggie options but lacks entrees for vegetarians. They were out of the only two they offer tonight

Jose: A table by the window is the way to go. The Soft Shell Crab, and Scallops w/ Pork Belly are terrific but it's all a out the delish lobster. Amazing!
Jessie Lee: Great collection of wines. The lobster cocktail has a much better value for money than the whole lobster. Amazing food, prime location and great location for sunset, but a little experience.
Justine Ezarik: The clam chowder is legit. There are actual clams. ACTUAL CLAMS IN THEIR LITTLE CLAM SHELL!!! FREAKED ME OUT BUT TASTED LIKE A FRESH OCEAN!
Lee Simpson: Amazingly good all you can eat sushi deal. Some of the baked rolls are a touch intense for my liking - stick to the hand rolls.
eifeh: Decent sushi in Santa Monica. Nothing fancy, but definitely good to satisfy a craving. All-you-can-eat lunch deal is pretty good for $20.95. Service was good.
Katja Haack: Great AYCE for 27,95$ Dinner and 21,95$ lunch. Fresh and extraordinary Sushi.

Brenda Yen: The seabass misoyaki, dynamite (no mushrooms since I'm allergic lol) and spicy tuna roll are the best dishes here! Good portions, good price and quality fish!
Baum: Maybe not Asanebo or Sushi Sushi, but Saito san has been around one of the original five of LA sushi scene. Ample portions, good prices. BTW never let sushi linger on your plate. Eat immediately.
Tyler Crowley: Seabass misoyaki ROCKS!!

Meech Wells: Had amazing Malaspina oysters and the Alaskan Halibut! Don't forget to have some of the Aussie Mollydooker as well. Jay was a great server, chill environment. 8/10
Los Angeles: The new location offers an iced shellfish platter that serves five called “The King”: whole Channel Island sea urchin, whole lobster, whole crab, and a gathering of shrimp, oysters and clams.
Les Gee: Appetizer shellfish sampler! Crab, oyster, mussel, prawn, clam, scallop, lobster, snail! Outstanding!
