COD Seafood House & Raw Bar

This was a truly terrible experience. We came on Valentine’s Day and our mains took over two hours to come out. We actually had to leave without our mains having come out and based on others’ reactions around the restaurant, we were not alone. Other tables got up in the middle and others complained. I do not rate restaurants almost ever but felt compelled here because this was so bad. The food was fine (truly nothing special but decent). They didn’t give us knives to cut the starters (including octopus, which is important). I’ve never left a restaurant before finishing the meal but this was not ok and ruined our valentines. Can’t recommend.

COD is one of my favorite Asian-inspired seafood places. The Lavender Mule is smooth and refreshing I love it with tequila instead of vodka which you can substitute with no additional charge. The Spicy Tuna Rice has the perfect amount of heat & crunchiness - it’s soooooo good and with only 4 you might end up fighting over them. The Crispy Walnut Shrimp is actually some of my favorite in LA I love how freshly they prepare it - it never disappoints me & I order it every time I come. The Chicken Garlic Noodles aren’t overpowered with garlic & the Parmesan adds a nice saltiness to the noodles - I love them. The Shrimp Fried Rice was delicious as well as the Crispy Garlic Brussels sprouts for a side vegetable. The customer service was excellent and I loved the scenery/atmosphere sitting on the upper level - can’t wait to come back excellent late date night spot!

I’m from Denver Colorado and our first time here and it was great! Love the food and the atmosphere was great! Over all tho out waiter/bartender was phenomenal she had such great vibes so friendly and outgoing she made me feel very welcome she is suggested what type of foods to try and the drinks she made were awesome. Definitely will be letting my friends know when they come out here where to go. I wish I would’ve got her name.

FOOD: All the dishes are flavorful from the salmon carpaccio, pork belly, and grilled octopus all of them are unique, just one recommendation DON'T order everything in one because they will send everything together I wish they can do a pause or courses. When that comes to service, to be honest our server she seems so distracted and lost. I mean we need to tell her a couples of times about our drinks order she kept forgetting. Then she got distracted with a baby that she forgot about us and didn't even come up and check on us how everything was. Until you have eye contact with her and she will check on you However, One of the things that I love it's that they are dog friendly.

The service is impeccable !!!! I have to preface this review by saying I’m a huge oyster fan and dropped by only for oysters / salad. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating (I think the best part of this establishment), they were extremely kind to our dog and brought him out some chicken and water. The restaurant atmosphere is nice and not snobby, the bar is a very nautical theme which I liked and thought was unique. However, during our visit their water was down so we were unable to use the restroom / wash our hands and had to go next door to another restaurant to do so which was a bummer. Now down to the oysters, my main reason for the 2 star deduction , we sampled 6 of each of their available oysters including Kumamoto oysters (which are my absolute favorite). The oysters were not briny at all and tasted dry, not fresh and were barely edible. After that experience I was reluctant to try anymore of the raw bar. It was about $55 or so. Many spots in Los Angeles for oysters for me, but this is not one of them sadly.

COD was our favorite restaurant while in LA! I would say it’s Asian-Fusion. We ordered several items which were so delicious, fresh and plentiful! And the waitress was very nice, funny and she did everything. She served the food, mixed the drinks and did everything.

Miso soup was a smart choice. Shrimp wontons were a great mix of crunchy and chewy. Raw scallops in the sweet sauce were like a delicious candy. Uni pasta had great texture. I list a 4 because they didn’t have the drink I wanted and something about the blue crab roll wasn’t thrilling.

We went for dinner- the service was fantastic, every staff was smiling and ready to give us guidance on their menu. The xiao long baos are a must try. We also had noodles and also seafood that was flavourful, and well prepared. Thank you, we had a lovely dinner.

I celebrated my birthday here and it was so good and it was amazing and it made my day! Crushed lobster rolls, black ink squid pasta, Sushi, walnut shrimp, and green beans here. This is hands down the best seafood spot in this area and possibly all of LA. Only The Blue Oeyster cafe in Malibu has a lobstah roll that can hang with this. Thanks COD!

Come down to COD where you may be lucky enough to get a little MAGGOT with your meal. Been to hole in the walls and this has Never happened, but Restaurant rated 5 stars on Yelp by the yts gives me the shock of my life. A refund is cool and all... but now what? Whats the explanation for there being a whole maggot on the plate? Soo, you guys have maggots in a food establishment in Beverly Hills? So weird, so gross, so embarrassing... and you're getting shut down. Unacceptable

Service itself was great. I don't recall the waiter's name but he seared us about 2 hours before closing. He was attentive and gladly provided our asks given the restraint wasn't too busy that particular night. He seemed to be one of the bartenders. Food was the Uni pasta which I've never had uni before. The waiter asked the chefs to provide a small piece of uni so that we could taste it aside of the noodles when the dish arrived at our table. I will say, uni is not for everyone. It's not for me by itself but on the noodles and how it's almost melted into the noodles, it's actually not bad. Ask for the chili sauce from the spring rolls and pour a whole container of it onto the noodles and they will definitely taste "better". That's my opinion but I think that definitely took the noodles to another level. Wouldn't particularity go out of my way to come back but it was an experience for sure. Would recommend though.

They have a great variety of food options. Dim sum and Chinese food as well as a large raw bar. Service was great and fast! Beautiful open kitchen too. Family vibes. Only thing is they should add food to the happy hour menu!

Delicious options, very good wait staff, spartan but nice decor. Part of a nice residential neighborhood.

Whew! That Valentine's Day service was rough. It took over an hour for the first course to come out, subsequent courses were also delayed, and I got delivered the wrong 3rd course. To her credit, our server seemed to be trying hard to get courses out as quickly as they were available.

We went to the COD the other day and had a great experience. The restaurant is cute and the service was wonderful. We went for DineLA and sat at the bar, we also looked at the menu to order and extra snack bc we are foodies and wanted to try everything lol. We sat at the bar and Katyrina took care of us, and she was super nice, friendly and attentive, and had great recommendations . My friend had the smoking gun, to drink, which she really liked. For appetizers we had the xiao long bao which were pretty good (wish they were just a touch soupier but that's just me) and a salmon roll and split a clam chowder, which was delicious. As part of the Dine LA we had the oysters. We also had the grilled octopus which was tasty except idk if it needed the kidney beans, maybe on a mix of spring greens would've been better but idk. We also ordered the pan fried shrimp and veggie dumplings which were really tasty. For the entrees on dine la we had the Lamb chops and the uni pasta and which were both soooo delicious! I would definitely order them again. As for dessert for the dinela we had the yuzu cheesecake which was a lil small but super good. I'm assuming for the regular menu it's probably a little bigger but not sure. All in all I would definitely eat here again and I strongly recommend it!

Love COD. The food is excellent. The service is very friendly, welcoming, not pretentious. The ambiance is great for all types of crowds. I came here with a group of 12 and they were very accommodating (families w kids and all). Have also come here for intimate dinners. It's a great place worth trying and it's fairly easy to get a last minute reservation or walk in.

I am so happy that COD made it through the pandemic, and it was so nice to have another DineLA visit here. The quality has not slipped, portions are good, pricing is reasonable, and the ambiance is casual and quiet. I feel like the interior area was redesigned to be less... cluttered? Or perhaps it just seems like a different place because I haven't seen a crowd during dinner time as of late? Make a reservation to be safe, but you can also get away with a walk-in. There's inside and outside seating, plus upstairs for special parties. I've noticed that they've been pretty understaffed when I've been here. One time, there was one server for the upstairs and downstairs! Will be back for more - especially that uni pasta.

Wow I usually come here for Halloween party and since I had a group coming we decided to try out the restaurant and we were surprised. Entrance is a nice quaint glass entrance door and parking we got lucky with street parking a couple blocks away by the liquor store. So not that hard to find. The food choices we had were the uni pasta, XLB dumplings, sausage fried rice, and sea bass. I was a little disappointed that the xlb were dried out when all the skin were punctured. Still taste good but dried. The host did offer to replace but we didn't want to waste time and appreciate the consideration. Sea bass was done perfectly and delicious as was the fried rice. Uni pasta was decent but I think it needs more of the uni flavor than the creamy flavor. Overall delicious meal. Afterwards went upstairs to do the Halloween celebration and it was a blast ! Great venue and happy to spend time with friends there

Same as one of the other reviews here. We came here on Valentine's Day and for the area it's located in I was expecting a different type of experience. We first get there and had to wait to be seated because apparently they had ran out of tables. Since they had sat us at the bar to wait the bartender was so kind to provide us with some water and a free champagne for the long wait. When we finally got seated the waitress didn't even come by to check in on us until 40 minutes of us waiting and just asked "you guys already ordered right?" Like no we haven't even been acknowledged since we sat down. Sadly it did ruin our night because I didn't want to keep waiting around and by the time we left it was too late to go anywhere for dinner. Based on the customer service or lack of I would NOT recommend this place.

Excellent service and food in a trendy, late-night atmosphere. Came here late night after a concert with a seafood craving, and left immensely satisfied by the truffle uni pasta, among other things. Hokkaido scallop carpaccio (3/5): Good yuzu kosho and sauce, but the scallop itself was a little chewy. Bluefin toro handroll (4/5): Great quality fish, but the rice was freezing. I had this issue with a few of the assorted nigiri I ordered too. Truffle uni pasta (5/5): THIS was glorious. Creamy, decadent, and super filling. I loved it, and there was a fair amount of fragrant, fresh truffle on my pasta. The best thing about this spot is the unique menu, late night environment, and rockin' service. Hope to come try some of the more Asian-fusion dishes next.

This was a truly terrible experience. We came on Valentine's Day and our mains took over two hours to come out. We actually had to leave without our mains having come out and based on others' reactions around the restaurant, we were not alone. Other tables got up in the middle and others complained. I do not rate restaurants almost ever but felt compelled here because this was so bad. The food was fine (truly nothing special but decent). They didn't give us knives to cut the starters (including octopus, which is important). I've never left a restaurant before finishing the meal but this was not ok and ruined our valentines. Can't recommend.

The food was decent but the customer service was absolutely HORRIFIC. Our waitress, Melanie, takes first place for being the worst server i've EVER had. From the second she first walked up to our table she was just extremely rude and anytime we asked her a question she would respond in a repulsive condescending manner. She incorrectly put in half of our orders and when the kitchen confronted her about it, she lied about it right in front of us saying we never ordered those things with modifications. Mind you - she doesn't carry anything to write down any orders with. Lastly, the restaurant opens at 5pm and allows you to make reservations for 5pm, but the first server doesn't show up until 5:30 and if you show up at 5 they will make you feel like an annoyance for being there on time. Overall the food was okay, but NOTHING is worth the service you will receive there, at least from Melanie. I can't speak on the other servers. In my suggestion, don't eat here. There are sooooo many better seafood places in Los Angeles in terms of both food AND service.

My husband and I had a great date night at COD! I'm a gluten free vegetarian who sometimes eats oysters (cue the LA eye roll) and this place is perfect! For regular pescatarians, there are so many options. We got half a dozen oysters and they were fresh and delicious! Could have eaten 50. All their veggie dishes are cooked in tamari not soy sauce so that made the gf issue a breeze. Our server was so friendly and nice and made the whole thing a wonderful night. Will definitely be back!

Finally got to try out C.O.D.! I would always pass by it on my way to Bacari, but since I had foodie family members visiting town, I figured it would be a good time to try out a new spot. Boy was I right. We hit the jackpot going on the right night. We received amazing service by Dillian, especially since he was the ONLY server taking care of 9 tables and a party upstairs! I don't know how he did it but he made sure our experience was not impacted! He hooked us up and made sure we stayed happy! Our orders were put right in and each of the dishes came out at a good speed! We enjoyed the Crispy orange shrimp the most, but everything we had was yummy. There wasn't one dish we didn't like. We also ordered the Brussels, garlic noodles with chicken, shrimp fried dumplings, and the salmon carpaccio. We also ordered the lychee martinis and a mezcal margarita. Drinks were delicious as well. I would certainly come back to try other dishes and hopefully I will get Dillian again.

I really don't like leaving bad reviews for restaurants, however deliberately sending out this dish to me on uber knowing it was made improperly is a huge middle finger to the customer. I ordered their Beef chow fun, very simple dish, with broad flat noodles and veggies. The chef, failed to stir the noodles and obviously threw the whole stack into the pot. They were stuck together 5 noodles at a time, in order to mitigate this the noodles were cut up hastily. This was 19.95, here are the pictures.

It's been a while since I've been here, but yelp asked so I will respond. This is one of my favorite restaurants on 3rd the Uni pasta by itself is worth a trip to this restaurant. The staff was friendly. The restaurant is clean. I don't give many five star reviews, but this one is richly deserved.

Ordered on Postmates and they confirmed. 55 minutes later, they cancelled the order outright. Had tried going to the restaurant years ago and they were closed when their website hours said they'd be open. Figured I'd give it another shot, and then this happened. Hey, COD, if you're going to cancel an order, do it as soon as the order is placed so that you're not messing up somebody's entire night.

It's an ok restaurant. The crab salad, octopus, and sea bass were all average. Our waiter was super nice.

Tried this place on a whim. Sat at the bar and had the best experience . Kimchi pork belly rice, and also some kind of soup dumpling. Awesome, in a word. Penny was very helpful as was Dylan. I would definitely go again

Love this place! Can always count on superb quality and rich flavor, no matter what you try.

10/10 with the chili oil added on the side. I also got the shrimp & chive dumplings which were really good as well! The sliders were also amazing!

Very disappointed in my dining experience. We were very disappointed with the quality of the food we received. We ordered from the DineLA menu. Service was on the slow side. It was our first time dining at C.O.D and unfortunately we will not be returning. $200 (including tip) was wasted. Ambiance was ok. We were seated inside. There is apparently an upstairs dining area that we were not able to check out. Food: Beyond mediocre. Perhaps because we ordered from the DineLA menu. I feel like our food was not treated the same way as the regular menu. Such a shame. Reviews about the ling wait during service is accurate. We will definitely not be going back. I had high hopes for this restaurant. Good luck!

It's not just another trendy W. 3rd St. overpriced joint. They make some of the best Chinese food you'll find west of the San Gabriel Valley. The sushi and izakaya dishes are also very good. And the prices are shockingly reasonable for the area. Big bonus: they're open till 2 AM. How can you lose?

Not sure what cod stands for but it might be fire: " confused, overpriced dining. It's a dim sum restaurant. No wait they and I serve miso soup and sushi rolls. No it's a Chinese restaurant, but they serve Lobster sandwiches and pasta. Jack of all trades and master of none come to mind. Chinese food entrees are the serving size of what you'd get if you ordered a plate from Panda Express only the price is about double what you'd pay for an entire plate meal there. Service was non existent as we had to ask for everything: we'd like to order, more water please, can I get my check. No way will I go back

I have been coming here for a bit and the staff are always amazing, but today what I ordered was off the hook! I tried the mushrooms in black bean sauce and I loved every bite. I seriously thought about immediately getting another order... I also tried the clam chowder (East Coast style despite the predominantly Asian fusion menu) which ended up being way better than Connie and Ted's version which costs a fortune. Food was amazing tonight.

Solid sushi at a lower than average price. We went on a Sunday and there were only a few other tables seated. I tried the rainbow roll and the albacore with crispy onion. The fish on top the rainbow roll tasted fresh, but the California roll part underneath seemed like it was made in advance, as the rice and crab was colder than it should have been and the rice was just slightly dry. Compared to our go-to sushi place, the prices at COD were about 1/3 less expensive. There is street parking which at times can be difficult, but we put the parking karma on and lucked out.

Really enjoyed the food here. The Miso soup, sea bass, crispy rice, rolls and sautéed green beans were delicious. However, the service and atmosphere needs a bit of work. There was water all over the inside booth seats we accidentally sat in and got wet, an employee was sweeping the floor and kept banging the broom against the dust pan repeatedly, and our server disappeared for long periods of time. When our food was delivered, there were no bowls for the wasabi and soy sauce for the rolls. It's not like this was late at night and they were slammed, this was right when the restaurant opened, so really no excuse for the lack of service. For a $120+ check for two people, I expected a better experience.

I had an amazing time here at COD! The food was just excellent and worth the price. The staff is very attentive, diligent and welcoming. The ambiance is super cool and elegant too!

We had a company function on the second floor. It was very dimly lit but the atmosphere was good. Headed straight to the bar and got a lychee martini. If you like strong drinks, you'll like this place. I'm not a heavy drinker and one martini made me dizzy on an empty stomach. The food was very good. For the appetizer, I ordered the grilled octopus. It was perfectly cooked and cut easily with a knife. It was not chewy at all like when octopus gets overcooked. For the entree there were several choices: lamb chops, wagyu steak, sea bass, scallops, and pasta. I asked the waitress which is best and she emphatically said the lamb chops. I'm glad I followed her advice. The chops were perfectly seasoned, not gamey at all. A little pink in the center. So delicious. But the best part was the bed of roasted brussel sprouts on the bottom. There was a lot of sprouts on the plate which was good because they were delicious. Garlicky, salty, with a roasted crunch on the outside. This was the best brussel sprouts I've ever had. The other entrees were not as inspired. The steak was just a piece of grilled meat with a small side of asparagus. Not a very good presentation. But the worst was the scallops. When it arrived, I was shocked by how sparse the plate looked. It was three small grilled disks of scallops with three asparagus spears on the side. I felt really bad for the guy who ordered it. All three scallops could easily have been one mouthful. So bottom line, go with the lamb chops. They have valet parking out front which is very convenient since it's hard to find parking in that neighborhood. You don't want to be parked far away on the side streets and have to navigate the homeless tents. Definitely would go back again for the drinks and the lamb chops.

Had been looking forward to eating here, but the food was not good - unbearably salty and totally overpriced. Won't be returning.

After several orders between dining in and Uber eats, I have to say this is one of my new favorite places in Los Angeles! The food has been amazingly consistent, super fresh, extremely well seasoned and very delicious! The service is also very friendly and warm, and food comes out pretty fast once you order. The walnut shrimp is my absolute favorite thing, and the crispy brussels sprouts are something that everyone should try - even if you don't like brussels sprouts I think you'll find a reason to like them. Dining with friends I try a few as extra things on the menu like the miso shrimp, the spicy fish bites, and the garlic noodles all of which were delicious. I highly recommend this as a place to hang with friend or to get together for a meeting. It's not too loud and while it's not the coziest romantic type spot, it definitely is comfortable.

The Food was fire, the server was great! The servings were in satisfying portions and you get your money's worth. 10/10

COD restaurant is located on 3rd St in the Beverly Grove area. Although this restaurant has been here for years, it was my first visit. From Beverly Hills, I always drive pass this restaurant while on my way to the Farmers market on Fairfax or The Grove. And as our city slowly loosen guidelines for COVID, I prefer seating outdoor for dining. The menu is Asian fusion of various popular asian dishes ranging from sushi, Chinese noodles, pan fried meats, seafood and veggies to select from. I've read so much about their truffle Uni pasta, so I had to try it along with the Hokkaido scallop carpaccio and the sautéed garlic green beans. Of the three dishes ordered, the scallops were best, as it was fresh tasting. The sautéed garlic green beans were crispy tender and flavorful. The most raved about Truffle Uni pasta was good NOT great...the Uni didn't taste fresh and was merely a decor topping. The pasta noodles seemed homemade in texture and taste was enhanced by truffle oil and cremé, I would say it was more truffle tasting than Uni :( Because the Uni topping wasn't fresh I was reluctant to order a side of Uni sushi. Service by my waitress could have been more attentive. The restaurant was nearly empty, but was busy with take out orders. I witnessed countless delivery people enter and exit, which was distracting and affected my dining experience, as the limited outdoor seating faces the only main door. 3rd street is super busy and over the lavender hedge were the valet people chatting :( Perhaps I will need to sit farther away from the main door and the valet, but the outdoor table I got was that. When I requested another table, the waitress said all tables were reserved, which was NOT true and/or a lie because I sat there for a good 40 minutes and there were no additional diners to fill the empty tables. Not happy about the seating situation. When the ambiance and vibe is Not Zen despite the Asian fusion of it All, I will probably Not return but order for takeout delivery.

I had a nice experience with delivery/takeout. I ordered garlic, shrimp rice and garlic pasta. Along with that I ordered seaweed veggie and cucumbers salads. The cucumber salad was not delivered. But the seaweed salad was delicious & the perfect umami to accompany my 2 shrimp dishes. My food was plentiful and satisfying for roughly $50.00. I must confess this review contradicts my review on grubhub. I made a classic mistake with my 1st post. I did not stir my food b4 I tasted it. Stirring all they goodies from the bottom made all they difference is the strong garlic flavor is love. I also want to mention that the shrimp was cooked perfectly and still plump. The food was delicious. So if you see that grubhub review please disregard most of it while I wipe the egg off my face.

Dumplings: bomb, crisped well and the leek in it was yummy. (4/5) Oysters were fresh. (4/5) Snow crab salad was also good and fresh. (4/5) Uni pasta: buttery, after taste, creamy. Noodles a little al dente. Just the way I like it. In their advertisements there were large pieces of uni on top of the pasta. When we got our pasta there was no such thing. LOL false advertisement but it was still bomb. (5/5) Grilled Octopus: cooked to perfection. Kidney Beans and onion complimented each other. (4.5/5) Sea bass: Crispy onion gives it texture. Sea bass was full of flavor and I do not expect that. Sea bass was moist and flaky. It was soft on inside slight crisp on outside. Spinach also seasoned well. (5/5) Riesling paired really well with the uni pasta. Not too sweet. (5/5) Yuzu Cheesecake was bomb and had complex flavors. (5/5) Lava cake was okay. Did not have the lava come out like it's supposed to when done right. I've cream that came with it was creamy. (3/5) I looked at other yelp reviews and made sure I didn't get the scallops because they only give you three pieces. Girls restroom no hook for purse.

Fresh fish is available for you to pick before the culinary process! Our party did not only enjoy the pop vibe but also the fresh fried fish and the seafood fried rice.

Can't say I liked this seafood restaurant much. It's actually the same owner from big catch seafood house with the same menu but higher prices. Since I can't eat raw fish anymore so I couldn't order most of the items on the menu. Decided on dozen oysters of Kushi and Kumamoto. Spicy tuna crispy rice and shrimp dumplings. The oysters were very fresh and tasty. Food was actually pretty good. Service was attentive too. I didn't think it was worth the trip to come here for the similar food as Big Catch seafood house. The decor and ambiance of this place is far from the standard of a restaurant in West Hollywood! Oh well... Ps. Valet starts at $14, $25 overnight, our night out on third street WeHo was $17 plus $2 tips!

Overall, I did not like this place, although it does have some positives. I would only order cooked food here, as the raw seafood was not fresh. The sushi deluxe plate we ordered did not seem safe to eat so we did not risk it. The grilled Chilean seabass however, was tasty and well prepared, but too oily for my liking. Our server was friendly, and street parking was easy to find. I will not return though as there are better seafood restaurants

Ordered the BOGO vegetable garlic noodles through Uber Eats ($16.75 base fee) and was so pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes! I was able to stretch this out into 3 meals. The broccoli, asparagus, mushrooms, and carrots balance out the garlic and oils pretty well. I don't think I would be able to eat just this for a meal, as it is a bit heavy, but I did not feel like it was heavy in a greasy way. For a $$$ restaurant, this was a great deal. Would be interested in visiting in person sometime!

I love the Ambiance of this place for starters. They place music I can vibe too and the interior is nice. The food was tasty but it just took too long for the dish to come out. They also put the wrong meats in a couple of our dishes but they fixed it right away. Service could be a little better and I know they're busy but I had to ask our lady server for a cup of water about 4 times because she kept forgetting. She brought out the alcoholic beverages fast but not the water. I'll definitely come back though and maybe next time the service will be improved.

I really hate that The quality of this Uni pasta has gone downhill if they made their food with love the way they used to when they first opened they wouldn't have almost 1000 reviews and still be at barely 4 stars. This pasta was actually my favorite dish. I ordered it throughout the pandemic as well if used to have more than one piece of Uni and lots of fish eggs, but is different especially in the taste it cost more but the quality is not there. they cut corners in the preparation of the dish, which is why they will no longer get my service. I don't care how late they stay open for. I will go to Berris next door over them any night. They must realize they used to be packed, and that is no longer for a reason . I hope you get it together COD.

Holy moly, was the uni pasta delicious. Your choices are pretty solid if you pick from any of the popular dishes listed on Yelp. The squid ink pasta was cooked AL dente. *kisses fingers* DELICIOUS. UNI pasta was creamy but not overwhelming. I wish I had the entire dish to myself but I ended up sharing with people. Don't share, if you can help it :p My friend ordered the pad Thai and said it was just okay. Like I said, if you choose dishes from the popular section you've most likely chose a winner. The squid appetizer was tender and delicious as well. Their lychee yuzu martini was great. Service however was lacking. My group of 7 were seated on the 2nd story which seemed to be housing large parties only. When I arrived there was no waitress in sight for a solid 15 minutes. And when she did arrive, she was flustered and unprepared with menus. When we decided what we wanted, it took another chunk of time to order. We weren't in a hurry so we didn't complain at all, but it's something to be mindful of if you are in a time crunch. Seems as if most of the waitresses catered to people downstairs leaving the upstairs group to defend for ourselves. But anyways I would want to order the uni and squid ink pasta to go next time so I won't have to share.

Just writing a follow-up review with a couple updates. Their famous uni-truffle pasta dish is still a family favorite, but is slightly different from when we've had it before. It's still good, but not as glowing as I would have described. it a while back. I think it may be the uni. After 2 visits since my first review, there's just something a bit off. That said, I have to throw in HUGE praise for their lobster sandwich! As a native Bostonian, I rarely eat lobster outside New England, but OMG this is SOOOOO good! Probably the only place in LA I'll go to for this diamond of a dish.

COD Restaurant- TAKE MY MONEY. The Brussels sprouts were perfectly seasoned, and perfectly crispy. The orange shrimp was so flavorful, perfectly cooked, and I couldn't stop eating it. The sushi was amazing as well. Very well presented. The service was great, they greeted us upon arrival, constantly came to check in on our table to make sure we were okay, and were very kind to us the entire time. Parking can be difficult depending how busy the day or night is, but nothing impossible. Writing this review makes me want to schedule my next reservation here.

They always deliver hot and fresh food. The restaurant itself is upscale casual with a nice street view. Service was good with great food.

I came here with a group of friends for DineLA. We made reservations and were seated upstairs in our own private area. The ambiance was very nice and the song playlist took us back to our middle school and high school days. Food was delicious and my personal favorites were the entrees: 1) truffle uni pasta The sauce used was so good. The pasta was filling as it felt like two servings. I was full 2/3 of the way. A plus if we had some bread to dip the sauce with. I scooped my uni before mixing the dish and split it up as pieces to go with each bite of my pasta. 2) sea bass (not pictured) Cooked to perfection and had such a buttery taste that makes you go back for seconds. This is a dish that I'd order a la carte next time I'm back. The restaurant provides valet parking. You can also park at the Beverly center and walk over as it is only a 5-10 minute walk. Great customer service! All staff had their masks on. 10/10 would recommend.

First time dining here so I will give this another try before making a recommendation on if you should try this or not. Food was great. Service was terrible. Perhaps the server was new. She wasn't rude but certainly didn't have it to gather. We were a party of 5. Apps came out timely. 3 entrees came out timely and when everyone finished eating the remaining 2 entrees came out even after we asked for status a few times. Server was less than helpful so we had to ask for a manager. No manager on duty but the lead server cam over to try to right the situation. We started with the Seafood Tower, Chicken dumplings and shrimp and chive dumplings. We had the shrimp fried rice, seafood rice, Orange chicken, scallops and much more. All delicious. Will definitely return because the food was good.
