If you haven’t been to Dive Oyster Bar yet, what are you doing?!

We stopped by for happy hour and WOW — everything was so good. The drinks were amazing (dangerously good, honestly), the food was fantastic, and the vibes were just right. Shoutout to our server who absolutely crushed it — super friendly, on top of everything, and just made the whole experience even better.

And here’s the part that really made us fans for life. When we left, there was a little mix-up and we didn’t get one of our leftovers. We walked back in, and the manager didn’t just apologize — they made us a whole new Roasta pasta. Like… who does that?! They were so kind and cool about it. That’s the kind of place you want to support.

Great food, killer drinks, amazing service, and management that actually cares.

Safe to say they’ve got customers for life. Highly, highly recommend.

In an area where so many different types of Chinese cuisine thrive, The Dive Oyster Bar is an outlier welcomed by those looking for something unique and outside the mold in SGV. This restaurant is located in the same plaza holding a Michelin star rated Chinese restaurant (Bistro Na) yet it can hold its own once you try it out. Let me tell you about this wonderful place and why you should check it out.

Interior – Pirates with Spray Paint

Once you walk inside you are taken away from the craziness of the SGV and instead come inside an area that can only be described as “nautical chic”. Fishnets hang from the ceiling with old diver helmets, figures of whales, neon signs, and colorful street art along the walls. The use of plants are tasteful and work well with the semi-industrial style of the seating in the dining room floor. High ceilings make the space feel bigger than it actually is and the vibe is welcoming without being overwhelming. Also, their bar is very cool and well designed.

Service

We only had one server on our lunch date and she was all we needed. She was kind, informative, and gave great recommendations. I’m sure if we came an hour later when people started coming in it would’ve been hectic, but service felt relaxed and they gave us plenty of attention.

Food

Currently, this restaurant is participating in DineLA’s Restaurant Week and doing a pre-fixe menu for lunch and dinner. The choices are actually fantastic and worth checking out. Here are my thoughts on what we got.

Sprouts (aka Brussels Sprouts) – right off the bat I’m going to tell you this was arguably the best Brussels sprouts I ever had. Brussels sprouts with red onions, feta cheese, and bacon vinaigrette. Actually amazing in both flavors and smell. I couldn’t believe how pleasant it was to the mouth. One of the times where the smell was as sensual as the taste. The feta balances out the sweetness of the vinaigrette and adds a complexity to it. I usually don’t like feta, but it feels like a missing piece of a puzzle I didn’t even know existed, making this dish complete. You have to try this.

Bacon Wrapped Shrimp – it’s exactly what the name sounds like. Served with a sweet honey mustard this hit a spot only shrimp hugged by bacon could do.

Flight of Oysters – you can’t go to an oyster bar and not try them. They had four different kinds and the sauces it came with were fantastically paired by the freshness of the oysters. One of the sauces was reminiscent of a chimichurri and was exquisite.

Soft Shell Crab Po’ Boy – not bad as far as flavors go. The remoulade adds a nice bitter flavor. The soft shell crab itself is also flavorful, but because there isn’t much meat inside it feels a bit empty. If you pair it with the pan roast though you have a nice dippable sandwich to take advantage of all the chunky ingredients in the pan roast.

Sausage & Chicken Pan Roast – deep in flavors and creamy, this savory dish is the way it should be: a giant hug of warmth inside and out. They don’t skimp with the ingredients with a bite of something meaty in each bite. This is how every pan roast should be.

Overall, The Dive Oyster Bar had a great selection of different food with most of them being hits. There were items on their menu that looked intriguing I want to come back and try. I still dream about their Brussels sprouts too. I look forward to coming back and trying this place once more and I encourage you to do the same. Perfect for solo eating, get togethers, or a simple date. Check this place out.

Came here on a Thursday with a friend and luckily made it just before happy hour ended at 6:30pm. We started with the clam and mussel, half a dozen oysters, and a bowl of clam chowder. For entrees, we shared the fish and chips and the house pan roast. Everything was delicious, fresh, and flavorful.

Service was amazing. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night.

Parking can be tricky at times, but there’s an underground garage and a top lot, both free, which makes it manageable.

The ambiance can get loud when the games are on, but it still felt comfortable and we were able to have a conversation without shouting. Overall, a great spot for seafood and good vibes—I’ll definitely be back.

Came here for Happy Hour for the first time They recently changed the times such that Happy Hour ends at 6 pm but it’s available not just M-F but on the weekends too. It wasn’t too busy on a Thursday and we ended up getting the clam chowder, steam clams and mussels and the fish chips. The clam chowder was great. It didn’t taste too heavy with cream and there was a good amount of clams. I thought the steam clams and mussels were okay. The size of the clams and mussels seemed on the smaller side and it came with some bread too. The fish and chips I liked. I thought it was a good portion for the price. The service was great and I would come back for happy hour but maybe stick to the fish and chips and clam chowder.

You know a place is good when you need to use your credit card to make a reservation, and this place did not disappoint at all. The food, service, and atmosphere are all amazing. The entrees portions are big and flavorful, with tons of seafood variety. The soft shell crab was very satisfying and the oysters very fresh. Great spot in a great location too, it gets super busy on the weekends.

If you’re a seafood lover, The Dive Oyster Bar in Temple City is a must-try! From the moment we walked in, the staff was super friendly and welcoming, which set the tone for a great dining experience. The vibes are laid-back yet lively, making it a fun spot to enjoy fresh seafood with friends or family.

We started with the Seafood Charcuterie, which was absolutely stunning and packed with flavor—Peruvian scallops, oysters, lobster tail, king crab legs, cocktail shrimp, and 3 different sauces, all incredibly fresh and delicious. Next up were the Chowder Frots, which were indulgent little bites loaded with cheese, chowder, bacon, and tomatoes—comfort food at its best.

The highlight of the night was their house specialty Pan Roast, served with a side of rice and linguine. The creamy tomato seafood bisque base was rich and flavorful, with seafood and sausage in every bite. It was the perfect mix of hearty and comforting.

The only downside is that it’s located in a very busy plaza, and parking can be tough on weekends—but honestly, the food is so worth it. I’ll definitely be coming back for another round!

Dive Oyster Bar is the ultimate spot to chill with great vibes, a cozy nautical dive vibe, and top-notch service. Whether you’re there for a happy hour hangout or a full meal, they’ve got you covered! I’ll always be here for their happy hour specials.

Here’s what we devoured:

– Fish ‘n Chips – $11.50 during happy hour; so crispy and filling!
– Hot Cheeto Mac & Cheese – $10 during happy hour, very decadent and creamy!
– House Specialty Pan Roast – the happy hour version is only $10 with grilled cheese! this dish was very flavorful and was loaded with seafood and protein.
– Clam Chowder Bowl – the happy hour version is only $7 (no bread bowl). Super creamy and delicious!

I love this spot–great service, immaculate vibes, and quality food at reasonable prices! It has everything you need for a perfect dinner out with friends. Pro tip: make a reservation on Open Table beforehand because it can get busy.

I recommend this place to anyone who craves oyster / mussels. My favorite is their soft shell crab, fried oysters, and fries with mussels. Lobster roll in my opinion is just okay. Loved the foods, and atmosphere. The service was a little slow, but all seats were packed during the time, so it was understandable.
