To date you have access to 3948 reviews from 5 website(s). The median rating for EMC Seafood & Raw Bar - Irvine is 4.2, signifying that guests have a very high opinion of this restaurant. A visit to EMC provides a mix of highs and lows, with a pleasant ambiance and good food offerings. The atmosphere can get noisy as the restaurant fills up, making conversation a bit challenging. Some highlights include fresh raw oysters, tasty sushi, and good house wine, although the calamari with spicy garnish received mixed reviews. The oysters, in particular, were praised for being plump and fresh. Service quality varied, with some patrons experiencing language barriers and delays in receiving orders. Happy hour offers a great value with $1 oysters, but some dishes, like fried zucchini and chicken wings, fell short of expectations. Overall, EMC seems to excel in seafood options, making it a potential go-to spot for oyster lovers.
