Obviously the place has some great vibes. Super impressive setup inside, some live music which was fun. Loud but not overwhelming. The dishes all look amazing. The food however was big miss for us. Aguachile was fine, but bland. The shrimp ceviche dumplings were inedible. Salty to the point of there must have been an error in prep, completely inedible we sent them back (we’re not comped and server didn’t seem to care we were sending back.) salmon tiradito was interesting; the flavors were unique and glad I tried but for us, the miso/orange/roe combo didn’t work. The tuna/avocado dish was fine, good quality ingredients but flavorless. To mix it up we tried the Japanese curry ravioli. I thought it was too rich/one note but my wife said it was the best dish of the night.

Hummingbird is our favorite restaurant! We went on a whim a few weeks ago and it blew our minds, so we returned again, and then they recently hosted my birthday party on their new porch! Really, truly, everything is delicious. The crispy rice, ceviche mixto, yellowtail, and shrimp dumplings changed our lives — we didn’t know anything was capable of being that delicious. Not only is Chef Zarate a powerhouse, but he and his staff (shoutout to Mike and Gaia) are warm, welcoming, and incredibly gracious hosts. They’ve thought of every detail and you can see the love and passion in the atmosphere that they’ve created. We are so so so grateful to Chef and his team for making the food, the space, and the community, feel like home. Thank you guys so much — we LOVE Hummingbird and will be returning for years to come!

Date night visit with my boyfriend. We’re fans of Chef Zarate’s previous restaurants, so I was excited to try this new one.
We got the:
Salmon handroll – the lemongrass aioli was a really nice, subtle touch
Papa no rellena – a towering creation with a lovely creamy and crunchy texture
yellowtail ceviche tostada – nicely spiced and a great balance of textures
scallop aguachile – a beautiful presentation and delicious light composition
risotto de mariscos – comforting and surprisingly filling for a seemingly-small dish
grilled octopus – a nice balance of textures
The space is welcoming with a very relaxed ambiance. Unfortunately, the staff seemed frantic. That was surprising since there weren’t many diners early on a Tuesday evening. But our service was smooth and the dishes came out quickly.

We came to the Hummingbird for a Girls’ Night Out, and it was such a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious. I had pasta with cuttlefish and seafood, and it was amazing.
The atmosphere really made the night special. It felt relaxed and fun, almost like a bar vibe, but with excellent quality food. The live music added a great touch and made the evening even more enjoyable. I truly loved the food, the ambiance, and the overall experience. Highly recommend!

If happiness could be served in a bowl, it would taste exactly like the ceviche at Hummingbird Ceviche House!
This spot is such a gem — bright, colorful, and totally laid back, but the food is seriously next level. The ceviche is as fresh as it gets — tangy, citrusy, with just the right amount of heat. Every bite feels like a little vacation. We tried a few varieties and couldn’t pick a favorite because they were all amazing.
The portions are generous, the plating is beautiful without being fussy, and the staff is super friendly and clearly passionate about what they’re serving. Even the sides — plantains, chips, you name it — are so good you don’t want to share.
Hummingbird makes you want to come back the next day and do it all over again. If you love ceviche (or even if you think you don’t), this place is a MUST go!

Wife stopped by to get a quick bite to go and we should not have wasted our time. First of all there is no parking so you have to find a place nearby. She ordered the ceviche and got a few tostadas, a few slices of cucumber and a ridiculously small portion of salmon. Are you really charging for this? The guacamole was ok and they give you a large chicharron, but not for the price. You are not in a flashy place, give some quantity and quality.

I’ve heard a lot about this place & it doesn’t disappoint. It was my first time & it was their first brunch service. It was really focused & disciplined. It was all the refined dining but with a relaxed shoulder. Anything seafood is a knockout & it just feels so balanced. Having tried other ceviche places in LA, this one really stands out. I got to see them prepare other traditional brunch items as well (like steak & eggs tosada, quiona salad) & they also looked phenomenally. Didn’t seem like theres a bad thing on the menu to try.

I dined here today and was utterly blown away. It’s been ages since a meal has left me so impressed. The chicha morada was the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and the ceviches and hand rolls were simply divine. The house-made soy sauce elevated the hand rolls to a whole new level. But the real star of the show was the shrimp dumpling – it was pure culinary magic, one of the best bites I’ve had in a long time. Thank you to the friendly staff and talented chef for such an incredible experience.
