This is one of the few seafood bbq places in the SGV. We order combo A and loved. We also ordered an abalone on the side. The abalone was so fresh and it was moving while serving. The place is clean and great for ppl to eat and hangout. The service was also great and the server helped grill everything.

Stumbled on this spot near MP after a Saturday gym session looking for a high-protein meal, and wow—what a surprise! The restaurant is small and old-school in decor, but the seafood quality is absolutely next level, especially for the price. We got a seafood set B that included massive fresh abalone and oysters (literally bigger than my fist), grilled tableside with full service—no DIY stress. Everything tasted fresh, and the dippings were great, especially when I used the shrimp salad sauce to create my own “spicy marinated grilled seafood” twist—so good! The set comes with a bunch of sides: • Cheesy fishcake & scallop soup (with chewy rice cakes!) • Korean knife-cut noodles • Roasted potato and Japanese sweet potato • Buttery corn, steamed egg, crispy pancake—all solid. If you’re looking for fancy plating or a trendy vibe, this isn’t it. But if you want fresh, high-quality Korean seafood grilled over real charcoal, this place seriously delivers.

The Clam House is a hidden gem for seafood lovers! We tried the Combo B – loaded with baby octopus, scallops, abalone, shrimp, and mussels – all incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked. I heard that the highlight was the grilled eel, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor, will try next time! Great portions, friendly service, and a fun, lively atmosphere. Definitely coming back for more!

Hidden gem alert! This Korean BBQ spot is tucked away in a Chinese neighborhood, and honestly, it blew us away. The Korean server was super friendly, funny, and knew exactly what he was doing — he handled all the seafood grilling for us and nailed the timing perfectly. There were three adults and two kids in our group, and we went with the $114 set. Totally worth it! It came with a great variety of dishes, and the ingredients were so fresh — way fresher than a lot of other seafood BBQ places we’ve tried. Overall, the vibes were great, the food was on point.

The Clam House is a cozy restaurant with delicious food. My boyfriend and I ordered Combo A, which was a perfect amount of food for both of us. Combo A included a lot of clams, mussels, two large oysters, three large shrimp, scallops, and potatoes. We also had a vegetable pancake, corn cheese, steamed egg, and a delicious soup. I felt very happy and content after eating our meal. Our waiter, and presumed owner, was very kind and attentive. His attentive and helpful nature added to the wonderful experience. I would recommend this place and would love to come back.

Clam House in Monterey Park is a must-visit for Korean seafood BBQ lovers. We had Combo B for $110, which was plenty for three. The standout was the fresh, tender abalone, expertly grilled by the staff. The set also included clams, scallops, and delicious sides like cheesy corn and fluffy steamed egg. The cozy atmosphere and attentive service made for a fantastic dining experience. Highly recommended!
