Pacific Fish Center - Redondo Beach

I visit this restaurant primarily because it brings back fond memories of having lunch with my mom. The crab quality is noticeably better in winter compared to summer. The Korean clam soup is delightful, though I wish they had kept the jalapeño slices in the recipe for a little spice. My husband, who is new to the restaurant, made the mistake of ordering the fish and chips. I didn’t stop him, as it’s not my preference, but he quickly realized it wasn’t a great choice. The staff are friendly and accommodating. My dad and I will definitely continue returning for the crab and soup.

I asked the woman for a single crab, and she told me it would cost $65. I couldn't believe it! That's outrageous for just one item, and I won't be coming back again.

The restaurant is situated in a lovely spot on the pier, but unfortunately, the service leaves much to be desired. The waitstaff seemed to have an attitude and provided service reluctantly. I had already paid in advance at the counter and included a 15% tip on my credit card receipt, even though the service was only average and the meal was overpriced. Afterward, a very frustrated waiter insisted on receiving a tip and asked to see my credit card receipt, which was unnecessary since they should have been verifying the signed receipt at the front counter.

Ordered two crabs and the spicy fish stew. Great meal, great service.

Food here is bad. Had to wait almost one hour for the steamed crab which is very expensive for it's size.
