Reviews for Found Oyster in Los Angeles, CA
Pure and utter perfection. We waited 20 minutes or so, but you can order wine while you sit outside waiting. Sit at the bar if... you can! The crab cocktail with ritz are worth every penny. The oysters are good and usually a few to choose from. I wish theyhad more of a garnish or a horseradish, but still good. The scallop tostada was the other stand out. I’d take or leave thefried oyster. When there is so much fresh and raw fish, go with that. Lovely staff at the bar. Read more
Really disappointed as I was hoping to love this place. The oysters were incredible, I can’t deny that. But the rest of the... menu was rather limited and wildly expensive for tiny tiny portions. This is also while sitting on a sidewalk in a plastic chairon a busy street- not a high end dining experience where two bite portions would be expected. Went with two friends and the billtotaled 360… we all left starving and went to another restaurant. It also took about 1.5 hours to get a table, which was fine,we had a bottle of wine and sat on some construction cones. But once we actually sat down, our waiter didn’t bring us menusfor 20 minutes - we had to flag someone down every time. He also was wildly unpleasant and clearly not interested in his job -but they charge a flat 20% tip fee on every bill so I guess he just doesn’t have to be? Really bummed. Read more
We went there around 9ish and it was pretty busy. We waited for about 35-40 min but they let us drink while waiting. After that... we got seated and we ordered 6ea oysters, scallop tostadas, 2 specials the jumbo asparagus and the potatoes. Last but not leastthe steak. They spaced everything perfectly for us and it was all sharable. Such great flavors. We also later added the key limepie and it was a good ending to the night. Read more
This place came highly recommended for oysters, so wanted to check it out. Overall, this was a delicious meal and I would... recommend going if you’re comfortable with spending a lot, can go at a time where there isn’t a long wait, can be seatedindoors, and you want to experience eating the highest quality raw seafood. If you’re simply craving oysters or seafood ingeneral, I think there are other places that would satisfy the craving with less cost and wait. There is also an automatic 20%gratuity added and frankly, I think this is fair given the staff is constantly working and they are just shucking oysters andprepping seafood non-stop. If the US just paid their service workers more fairly we’d never have to worry about gratuity(shrug) We (group of 2) ordered the Baywatch platter, two orders of the Maine scallops (big favorite!!), two oysters Moscow,the fried oysters and the fat & flour key lime pie. Only food we regretted ordering was the fried oysters, too much breading andtoo oily. Seemed like a waste of good oysters and I felt in general, I wouldn’t order any of the cooked seafood given howfresh everything is raw and you can get the same cooked seafood dishes (clam chowder, lobster roll, steamed clams with fries)for similar quality with better pricing. The pie was a perfect end to the meal. Lastly, I would hesitate to return since wewaited over an hour and a half on a Saturday night to be seated and unfortunately, since the indoor space was small we wereseated outside when it was getting quite cold. This is called “America’s sexiest restaurant” by Infatuation and I feltlike I missed out on the cozy ambiance and allure when I’m eating raw food next to nearby passing cars haha. Read more

Freshest oysters, sea urchin, and crudo at Los Angeles. The seatings are small, and during daytime the outdoor seating is too... hot. But food is still impeccable. Read more
