Burnin' Shell

The food was cooked with so much care and thoughtfulness depending on the seafood! Everything was amazing and plan to come with my parents, who are very picky with seafood! We were so hungry that I didn't get to take photos of the lobster and kalguksoo (knife cut noodles). Thank you for the BEST service and food!!

This place is the real deal when it comes to Korean cuisine. We used to visit before the pandemic when it was called Daebudo, and we had a fantastic experience then, and it's still great now. We ordered the combo for 1-2 people (set #1), and it was plenty for both of us. The servers were all fantastic, answering any questions we had, and they cook the seafood right in front of you on the grill.Valet is $4, and there's plenty of parking. The valet took our key, asked us to pay in advance, and handed the key back so we could leave without needing to ask for it. It's LA parking, so our expectations were low. We'll definitely be back!

Just do it, you won't regret it. 1) the korean ceviche was very good, though we felt it could have done with a little less cabbage.2) the clams! They don't even need any of the dipping sauces, they're just there for fun...3) mussels were ok, might ask for more clams or scallops next time.4) the dipping sauces were all pretty good. 5) so were the banchan was all pretty good too.6) the baby octopus was perfectly marinatedThe MOST memorable thing of the meal was the SCALLOP SOUP! Do not sleep on this... i was like a not creamy chowder with rich and deep sweet seafood flavors.

This restaurant was recommended to me if I ever craved Jeju-style seafood in Ktown, particularly for the abalone. I think on Google, this restaurant is/was called "The C" or "Daebudo" before they changed their name to Burnin' Shell, so it was a bit confusing when we drove up, but we managed to find it okay!The parking lot in the back was very convenient, and it was nice to easily walk-in and get seated right away on a Thursday evening with no reservation. The ambiance was casual, relaxed, and they served alcohol which was nice because we had some friends visiting.There were four of us altogether, and we were trying to decide between the combination seafood order 3-4 or 2-3. We decided to go with the 2-3 people serving because half of us were girlies, and we're SO GLAD WE DID! By the end of the meal, we were stuffed! Good quality fresh seafood with great side dishes, and the service was ON POINT. They grilled everything for us, and let us know when the different seafoods were ready to eat. Overall, we had a great time! Burnin' Shell is at the top of my list the next time I have a hankering for fresh seafood. I think my parents would approve as well.

Hi I'm back.I found this place for the lobster not for the seashells the restaurant inside is cozy but little small so we decided to seat in the patio. Servers are all welcoming and did all the job for us you don't have to cook at all as well as the shells would be like that too!And the live lobster got revealed right in front of you! And cooked and served very conveniently to take out the juicy fresh meat out of the shell.Fresh enough and all the side dishes were overwhelmingly delightful!Had great time and thank you for your cleanness over all and the fresh scrupulous lobsters and food.We will back to drink more with my people later!!

We ordered the crew set, and it was packed with an abundance of fresh seafood. The oysters were massive, and the variety of side dishes they served was so generous we couldn't even finish them. To top it off, the meal ended with soup and noodles more than enough for two people. It's incredibly cost-effective, especially in these times when everything feels so expensive. The CP value here is outstanding!The service was excellent; the staff grilled the seafood right at our table, timing everything perfectly so it was fresh and hot. The restaurant itself is very clean with no lingering cooking smells, which made the experience even better. The prices are very reasonable, but make sure to arrive early or prepare to wait, it gets packed quickly. Highly recommend!

It was my first time in LA and so good. The price is reasonable! Definitely will try again when I visit

I had been craving the grilled clams I used to eat in Korea, and this place definitely delivered! Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious. We ordered the Master Set for four people, which included clams, oysters, abalone, mussels, and eel, along with a huge variety of side dishes like cold raw fish soup, steamed eggs, pancakes, shrimp tempura, and more. We left feeling completely full and satisfied! The atmosphere was trendy, and the staff kept grilling the seafood for us, so we could relax and enjoy the meal. Highly recommend!

My friend and I recently went to Burnin' Shell and it was a solid meal of trying dishes we haven't had or rarely get to eat. The service was great, the meal plans are huge (so many side dishes), and it's fun to put the gloves on and eat your BBQ seafood. I wouldn't say the food was out of this world but I loved the concept and again, the service was amazing (they cook the food for you and are incredibly attentive).If you're tired of the regular korean meat BBQs, check out Burnin Shell! It was a fun experience and definitely had room for larger groups.There is easy parking in the back (valet).

Burnin' Shell is truly amazing. The employees cook each plate of food one by one, very carefully and pays attention to how it cooks, so it tastes good. The employees/workers are very kind, and polite. They help with everything. And the food tastes amazing any time you go whether it's your first time or not. Everything is truly great, the service, food and more. Visit Burnin' Shell!!!!!!!
