A brilliant fusion of West Coast seafood and Mexican street food. The scallops are sliced thin and served raw, dressed with a sharp, spicy yuzu kosho that provides a vibrant aromatic punch against the crunchy tortilla base.
Tips from diners
This is one of the most refreshing things on the menu. The yuzu kosho heat is subtle but perfectly balanced.
A brilliant example of restraint. The lobster is succulent and fresh, dressed lightly with brown butter and a hint of lemon, then served on a perfectly toasted, buttery brioche bun. It's the gold standard for lobster rolls in LA.
Tips from diners
They go for the brown butter style here, not mayo. It really highlights the natural sweetness of the lobster meat.
The heart of the restaurant. They source meticulously from small producers, offering oysters that are shucked to order and served with a sharp mignonette and house-made cocktail sauce.
Tips from diners
Ask for the server's recommendation. They usually have some very rare, small-batch oysters that aren't on many other menus.
A comforting, traditional version of the classic. It's rich and creamy without being overly thick, packed with fresh clams and just enough smoky bacon to give it a savory depth that's perfect for a cooler LA evening.
Tips from diners
It's a smaller portion, so it's a great starter before sharing a lobster roll or a selection of crudos.
A nod to traditional delis but with a refined, modern finish. The whitefish is smoked in-house and turned into a rich spread that's perfectly balanced by the sharp acidity of the capers and the freshness of the dill.
Tips from diners
The bread is from Bub and Grandma's, and it's perfectly toasted. It's a very substantial and satisfying starter.
Found Oyster is a tiny, high-energy spot that feels like it was transported from the Maine coast to a sunny corner of Los Angeles. It's known for its incredibly fresh raw bar, inventive crudos, and a lobster roll that is consistently ranked among the best in the city.
They don't take reservations and the space is tiny. Arrive right when they open or be prepared to wait with a glass of wine on the sidewalk.
The counter is the best place to sit to watch the oyster shuckers in action. It's high-energy and very fun.
Street parking on Fountain can be difficult. You might have better luck on one of the side streets or using a ride-share.
