Johnny's Shrimp Boat

This place is always great! I used to go to the tiny location in downtown LA as a kid, and since then nothing has changed ! The shrimp are crispy, balls of flavor, and when you add the hot sauce, oh my goodness! The rice and gravy is classic, recipe also hasn't changed.

Great tasting food. Fried fish was a little too greasy, but their hamburger... It was delicious!! A simple, basic hamburger, yet sooo delicious. The owner was so nice and insightful and nice. I dare say, my new hidden gem.

One of the main reasons I come here is for consistency of the great taste that made me come back for the past 10+ years. Although I find myself always ordering some shrimp at tacos here, every now and again I mix it up. The sauce they use in the shrimp tacos is very unique, kinda like enchilada sauce but with a twist. Pictures don't do it justice, you just have to try them.

Had three fish tacos, great stuff. Very crispy. I just wish they sold them per taco because i wanted to try a shrimp one as well. Fries were very underwhelming. Hardly seasoned aside from a little salt, not very good.

I have been going to Johnny Shrimp Boat since I was a little girl and my whole family would drive all the way to downtown L.A. where they first were. Throughout the years they would move and somehow my mom would always track them down LOL Now I bring my family here, it's span for 4 generations !! My husband and oldest loves the chili with rice while I get the gravy and rice. The gravy is my favorite !! They need to bottle & sell that stuff !!

This place is super clean and all kitchen equipment are skinny clean stainless steel. Food is great as always. Friendly staff.

This place has been here for years. It's a small spot and locally owned. The shrimp and gravy are always really good. The service is good. Every thing is made to so worth the wait.

The restaurant itself is what you make it. if you're in a bad mood, come here, he will not be in a bad mood anymore. All the food is fresh the service can't be beat. The people are always in good moods, and always get your orders, correct. The ambience is well lit so you could see what you're eating. There's nothing to hide here very clean, and very inviting.We recently decided to try what my mom always gets and that is the chicken teriyaki bowl. It is delicious so you can just forget about Waba grill and Yoshinoya for that matter and just come on down to Joni's because they have the best teriyaki chicken bowl that I have ever tasted -- delicious don't ever take this off the menu. Exception always, always ask for a side of green onion for your chicken teriyaki.'n noBreaded Chicken Teriyaki Eight Piece Fish and Chips Horchata Korean BBQ Pork Short Rib Plate
