Pier Seafood

2lb crab 3 prawns $ 80? The old Asian lady cashier with a straight face. Rip off! Would never go back over priced and over cooked!

Worst expensive meal I’ve had.
This is not a classy, clean place by any means. It’s a very bare bones low end wharf style joint run by Koreans and frequented by mostly Asians. The style and method of serving seems to be ok with them, which I understand, but it’s not for me, and definitely not worth the price. The smell in the place is not great. The place is tough to find, too! There are several plaques on the building with different names on them, and under the plaque that actually says Pier Seaford the entry is locked. So you have to walk back around and actually enter under a different name. We were wandering around like idiots for a while.
We paid 150 with tip for two guys and a girl. Got a small sashimi plate, a Dungeness crab, a spicy fish soup and a small plum wine. The sashimi was not much fish for the price, and a couple of the cuts were chewy and/​or not tasty. Not cut right either. The soup was ok but it’s just a mix of everything, not super appetizing. The thing that messed it up the most was the crab that they threw on the table with all the innards and just quartered it up. If you know the smell of Dungeness innards, you don’t really want that on your table when you’re trying to eat a meal. They don’t give you a knife or anything, just plastic utensils and wooden mallets, so it’s pretty much impossible to clean off the crap. The people at my table were slightly disgusted. I can make the same crab for a third of the price at home, and will serve it in a much more appetizing fashion.
If at least the prices were reasonable the place would be ok, but if I’m gonna pay a good chunk of change I expect a civilized dining experience.

Love this place… the Hot Fish Soup is the best… Crab and live shrimp very fresh… Wii come back this place for sure.

VERY GOOD.
parking: sometimes its free but sometimes you gotta pay.
Food: the best on redondo. Always eat fresh oyster, crab, and sweet shrimp and finale with spicy seafood soup.
Service: Fast and easy but sometimes theyre just way to busy to get to our table.
Price: pricey but I think its worth it
I love this place

My favorite spot!
I keep having a craving for the FRIED OYSTERS!
Even though I keep seeing people hammering on their crabs, I still love the
FRIED OYSTERS!
They can hammer that crab all they want but, I’m here just for the ONCE again…
FRIED OYSTERS!
Got to ask for that cocktail sauce though ;) hehehe, they won’t give to you, u must ask!
I’m happy here with my FRIED OYSTERS and COCKTAIL SAUCE!
I will be back, back, BACK!!!

Best place to get crab in the South Bay!!! If you order the salad get the dressing on the side unless youlike your food extremely spicy. They give you mallets to crack your crab so don’t be to cool to wear a bib. If you think any place can boil a crab than you haven’t been to Pier Seafood

My family and I have been coming to this place for years. I remember coming with my mom and now I take my kids. We always get the whole crab and Mae yoon tang (hot fish soup). We’ve had the fish and chips, baby octopus, whole shrimp, and sashimi too. My husband especially likes the king crab legs.
Everything is always very good and consistent. When they are really busy the service can be a little slow but the women work really hard to do a good job. You get bibs and hammers to crack the crab yourself and it gets messy but that’s part of the experience too.
The only downside is mostly everyone who works there is Korean so it I can see how it might be hard to communicate with them if you don’t speak the language.

I’ve been here several times. It’s a Korean run seafood resteraunt on the Redondo Beach Pier.
Dining next to the bay windows shows a great water/​beach view.
Most popular items are the Hot Fish Soup and fresh crab. Be careful though, if you ask for anything stronger than medium heat on the Hot Fish Soup, be prepared to sweat!
Also good is the fried clams and fries.
Prices aren’t too bad considering it’s location.
Try the Hite Beer with your meal; it’s a light Korean beer.
