"The seafood-focused sibling to Phnom Penh Noodle Shack, A&J is a tiny takeout stand in a Long Beach strip mall. While we like their straightforward crab legs, shrimp boils, and grilled oysters, the best dishes here have some Cambodian influence. For example: the salt & pepper shrimp tossed in fried garlic, jalapeños, and enough lime juice to make a margarita jealous. Our top pick is the crispy salmon, cut into tender fried chunks and served with mango salsa and sweet tamarind sauce. Keep in mind that seating here consists of stools on a wraparound patio facing a busy intersection, so most people take their food to-go. " - Nikko Duren
