Holy guacamole, these oysters are the bomb. Love the location and can feel the fresh ocean vibes reflected in the oyster being served here. Was amazed by the love and care received from staff here in taking care of my food needs. Can't wait to be back!!

Came here on a not busy Saturday evening, great sunset facing bar and fairly priced tacos. Smaller on the portions if that's a problem for you. Friendly service.

The food and service here is such a treat. I've been to this location twice, and it was so good the first time that I would admonish my family for coming here without me. Shuck caters well to those who like share plates; The fried calamari and the dozen oysters in particular were perfect for a table of four as an appetizer. The oyster selection was great, and of such great quality that even an oyster novice like me could love the flavor and texture. The mac n cheese was also quite good, and could even be shared if you want to try multiple things. The grilled cheese and clam chowder personally aren't my preference in flavor (with the grilled cheese being a tad rich and the clam chowder leaning more sweet), but based on the quality I'm sure it's more of a matter of personal taste. Our server was very attentive, yet not overly intrusive, which was nice. He definitely anticipated our needs and was charismatic, to the point where my younger brother commented on liking his personality once we left the restaurant. Overall, if you want to have a dinner with a group of friends in a place with a quiet and calm feel, Shuck is for you!

Best Oysters in OC! The grilled cheese is also a winner! This is a fun date-night spot or a blast with a group of friends. We love getting Shucked Up!!!

Loved the ambiance and our order was perfect! Nothing is better than fresh oysters with cold brew. It's a hidden gem, parking won't be an issue! Staff and service are great.

Let's start by saying it's my 14th wedding anniversary and we like to try new restaurants. Today, i think we found a new favorite! All of my favorite things together in one place! The scallops were perfectly cooked and they cooked the spinach to order. The black items on top of the scallops is caviar. Ok, believe it or not, the only thing I didn't care for but that's a personal choice. I know I live by the beach but to get perfectly cooked scallops is such a treat. Yes, I know I said that. My husband comes from the Scallop Capital of the World New Bedford, MA, so I'm pretty spoiled. When we visit annually, I eat my fill, and they are always cooked to perfection. Moving on, the servers were very attentive, making sure my water was always filled with their "special recipe" water. It's very refreshing! As for ambiance...the place is SMALL inside. But, there are 2 areas for outside dining. When I walked around the corner to use the restroom, I found a whole mall! Lots of little boutiques and shops. Wow! It was a great way to spend my 14th anniversary. Thank You Shuck!

shuck more like shook.. this place is incredible. The oysters were amazing. the tacos were great. The staff was extremely nice and knowledgeable. Denise was was a vibe. 10/10.
My god were these some of the best oysters I've ever had! Took the chef's recommendation with a mix from all around the world & was not disappointed. So fresh , it seemed they were served straight out of the ocean ! Paired with the lobster bisque was magnificent. Went for a first date a while back & now we are dating.. safe to say Shuck was a success. Only thing to mention is reservations are highly recommended as this place doesn't have tons of seating and will fill up quickly. Nice laid back atmosphere in low-key shopping center. Will definitely be back !

I'll be honest, I'm not an oyster person at all but a friend introduced me to this place and these are the only oysters I will eat!! What throws me off is the texture and taste but the oysters here are super tasty and not fishy at all! The employees here are all super nice also :) I would recommend coming with ppl so you can share plates and get a taste of everything!

New to picking from the variety of oysters. The staff was helpful with picking out what we might like and they did not lead us astray. The food was really good. Recommend giving them a try!
Such a fantastic spot! The owner truly cares about the quality of the oysters, which I really appreciate. Great ambiance but honestly second best to the quality of the food is the service from Denise and Sofia!! They recommended the best oysters - some I wouldn't have considered without their recommendation. The mussels were OUTSTANDING and the tacos are absolutely delicious. One of my favorite spots!
