Always good! The Hungry Cat is the place for seafood ... their raw oysters are always fresh and the selection is always interesting. Love the lobster roll and fish specials are great ! Fresh ingredients for their cocktails too (no mixes!)

Hungry Cat! I am all about straying from the usual these days, and while they do not always hit the mark, I give these guys points for coming up with new stuff. A bit pricey, but one of the best seafood experiences in L.A. LOVED the king crab legs, and the drink menu is great.

I have Crabs!!!! – I love this place. Fresh squeezed drinks, raw bar. outside seating. Very cool hip place. A little pricey but worth it. The Crad legs are my favorite. You will enjoy it all

Most memorable meal I've had in a while – The menu is small, which is fine because clearly they concentrate and do these few things well. My husband and I shared a very flavorful octopus starter that had a nice spike of spice. Our two entrees were completely different in tone and flavor, but both delicious: an earthy dish of nutty scallops served over smoked ham and beans; and a Southeast Asian-inspired dish of astonishingly juicy seared black cod with melon and green papaya slaw over a bed of coconut rice. Skip dessert. The... read more

SO SO Food, so-so. Small portions and pricey for what you get. Seafood dish that should have been hot came lukewarm. A comment to the waitress only produced an "Oh, really?" Perfunctory service. The coffee was good. Parking validation for one hour only

The Hungry Cat such a dissappointment! – This place was a disappointment! First off, the place is incredibly loud. This is not a place to go to have a quiet conversation. They blast the music and you are wedged into a tiny little table with your neighbor practically in your lap! We were seated promptly, but waited 20 minutes to be greeted and to order a cocktail. By the time we ordered our food, another 30 minutes, and by the time the food arrived we were over this place! The food was cold and there was a hair in my wife?s c... read more

Overcharged & Underserved – My friends and I have been talking about going to Hungry Cat for over a year, but it wasn't until tonight that we decided to try it instead of going to Magnolia after the gym. Not the best decision, but you live to live, right? Let my living help you live better, Hungry Cat is a part of life you can do without. We couldn't be seated immediately, because we had no reservations, which is fine. We got pointed to the 'beer garden' where we sat in the dark and waited to order drinks. A minute after ord... read more

What a disappointment! – A friend took me here for my birthday. Service...not good. We ordered the special and pork & clam stew. The special was a bass and all I got with my first bite was a VERY fishy smelling and tasting fish. My friend and I immediately sent it back noticing that the table beside us was sending one of their dishes back as well. Never a good sign. Our neighbors also told us that they used to eat here once a week but that things have changed and now the food isn't good and the menu not as creative. To end t... read more
