50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Castro Valley

“I enjoyed my Hawaiian BBQ. Customer was Great! The Restaurant very clean including the Restroom! I've been here at least 4 to 3 times a month! Enjoyed it!!!!“

“Will be back! Great food 😋😋😋“

“Tides is a great place to dine! The restaurant is lovely: well spaced tables; beautiful lighting; very nice art work; comfortable chairs and banquettes; and an excellent color scheme. The food is wonderful: we started with a dozen oysters and crab cakes and both were delicious (we were a party of four); our entrees were the excellent blackened halibut (one guest did not care for the spicey topping, so cut that off, but the other guest devoured the fish with gusto), the sea bass was perfect, and the scallop risotto outstanding; everything was prepared beautifully and plated beautifully, too; portions were just right; for dessert we shared the lava cake and butter cake to rave reviews. Service was excellent: Robyn was our server and she was everything you hope for in that position; she timed everything nicely; she made great suggestions; she was warm and friendly; she checked for our satifaction with each course; she made sure our water glasses were filled when needed; and she did not rush the end of the meal after presenting the bill. If I had NOT ordered an expensive bottle of wine, our bill would have been about $350. For the vibe of the restaurant, the quality of the food, and the excellence of the service, Tides is a geat value; I highly recommend Tides!“

“I bought the oyster combo with DoorDash and I absolutely loved the deep fried oysters. The fried breading was very tasty and the oysters tasted like they were cooked just right.

I chose potato salad for the side, I liked it, however, I do not know if they make it fresh.

The combo also comes with a Shasta brand soda, but cola and lemon lime are the only offered flavors.

I definitely want to order from here again.“

“Just went on Wednesday as I was passing through. I didn’t realize that they were open do to the farmers market being right there as well. Went inside and it was beautiful. The staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered the shrimp po boy and it was very good. I will definitely be back.“

“This is real hood chicken, real soul food. Highly recommend the fried chicken and catfish... unbelievably good. FYI, not a sit down restaurant, but plenty of good parks within distance of the restaurant to eat at and take in the sights of oakland“

“Me encantó si lo recomiendo 👍🏻“

“My friend was visiting from Washington. First time for both of us. The waitress was wonderful, explained everything. We had the 3 item bag. oh so good !!! mild sauce was just perfect. The shrimp and mussels were cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back with the family. 🦐💕“

“Always wanted to try seafood boils but never could in my hometown. This was the first place I hit after my move and it 100% met my high expectations. A bit pricy but has cheaper options anyone who want to save $$. Went here also for my birthday and was told about a deal going on for crab legs. Totally made the occasion extra special and had food for days. Definitely still good reheated too. Highly recommend. Don’t let the empty tables fool you. It’s much better eaten at home anyways. Only complaint is no salad or soup options since my friend wanted clam chowder. But otherwise amazing“

“very good food and friendly staff!!! the food is pricy but very good“

“La carne en cebollada los camarones en crema de chipotle“

Though it isn't on their menu, if (you) are Very Polite & Most Important ... Humble ?? You Too, if you like this type of Flavored Hamburger can indulge in it's Terrific Taste! ???=? The Place issa Winner ?“

“The food was delicious! This is family owned,and as customers where coming in workers where trying to sit and eat. They were getting upset and rolling their eyes because customers kept coming in. This location is very small 7 tables only. Trust that I will be returning because the food is worth it.“

“I LOVE PIES & was HAPPY to find out out about this place! I tried 4 of them: Beef Pot Roast, Chicken Artichoke Pesto, German Beef & Mushroom, & All American Chicken. Thumbs Up to the Perfect Crust & Flavorful stew Fillings. Look fwd to trying many more 😋👍❤“

“D Monaghans on the Hill offers a fantastic dining experience with a welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and attentive service. I've hosted three events in their private area, and each one was a resounding success. The combination of great cuisine and a pleasant environment makes it an excellent choice for dining, catering, and private parties. Highly recommend!“

“Good food nice service nothing but the best“

“Excellent shrimp fajita, guacamoli, would definately order again.
Lots of seafood option, will go back to try.
Hubby had barbeque ribs which he thought were heated up, but tasty. Rice, beans, tortilla good. He would try something seafood next time (who orders BBQ at a seafood specialty restaurant?!?)“

“First of all the people that were in there getting food talked to me about how great it is before I could even order. I was excited. I ordered a Super Burrito with ground beef and everything. I also ordered a taco. When I saw how many ingredients were piled up on that taco and saw how the only way he could close that taco was to envelope it in aluminum foil I was amazed. But then when I picked up my bag containing one burrito and one taco I swear it was a couple of pounds! The burrito was huge! And delicious! And the person taking my order and the person making the orders were very pleasant. I will definitely be back many times.“

“It’s been so hot lately - pineapple green agua Fresca really hits the spot!

Love the fish tacos here- nice and crispy. Salsa verde on the side. We came around noon and there wasn’t a line.

Aloha club next door was open as well if you wanted to get drinks there.

Nice outdoor seating and vibe!“

“This place has the BEST SHRIMP EMPANADAS!!! I also recommend the, "Molcajete" delicious served sizzling all the way to your table.

Vegetarian options: Veggie Burrito, and pretty much everything else on the menu through special parking could“

“first time here - we loved it! excellent wine list“

“I only gave it a 4 because depending on the time you order, the shrimp is either perfectly cooked and fresh or black. But the flovor of the sauce is delicious. Same with the eggs if you order when they just open there good, but later in the day, they look overcooked.“

“The food here is fantastic. I had the Chicken Sandwich, The Chicken Plate, Chicha Morada Drink. The chicken was cooked perfectly, as well as the rice but I love the beets, potatoes, peas, carrots,lime,mayo,salt and pepper side dish. I could eat that everyday. This is definitely the best Peruvian food I have ever had. Please do yourself a favor and try El Causa.“

“(Translated by Google) Very good place to eat well the dishes that I have tried are tasty and have a very good variety. They have a lot of food, not just seafood. For example, today I ate a delicious menudo.The prices are good, they are not expensive and the staff is very friendly.(Original)Muy buen lugar para comer bien los platillos que he probado están sabrosos y tienen muy buena variedad. Tienen de mucha comida no solo mariscos. Por ejemplo hoy me comí un rico menudo.Los precios están bien no son caros y el personal es muy amable.“

“Love it second time coming. I had the 7 seas soup it was delightful. Then I tried the steak nachos. The steak was flavorful perfect seasoning and soft. Unfortunately this is my last week in the area. I definitely recommend this spot. Next tome I come to Cali I’ll definitely come by :)“

“Good food, prompt take out service, friendly staff on phone.“

“The food is outstanding the atmosphere very inviting wish I had the time to sit with a glass of chanti wine 🍷 and enjoy the aromas of the food while being prepared!“

“Muy rica y buena comida! Sabor y porciones muy buenas! El personal muy agradable y muy serviciales. El lugar bueno y limpio aunque escondido pues está en una zona de oficinas. Pero en general 💯 por 💯 recomendado 👍“

“I've only been here 3 times. Past 2 times i got the regular al pastor burrito no beans and let me tell you!!!! Best burrito by far in terms of size for the $$. Any time i order a burrito elsewhere, i have so much Tortilla left over and i dislike that. The burritos here are packed with deliciousness. I will say, if you don't eat pork, the breakfast is not for you. Every item under the menu for breakfast has pork. They don't do substitution either.“

“The Korean fried chicken was delicious. The staff was a big help. They helped me pick out a good bottle of cold sake.“

“Fresh food.You will enjoy it!“

“Regulars there love their chicken nuggets with jalapeño and egg fu young“

“This place was delicious and the food here was great, this may have been the best Vietnamese food I have ever had. I may have had to drive 7-8 hours to get here but it was all worth it, I would recommend this place to everyone because the French fries were also very good. This place serves the food very fast and it was absolutely delicious 5 stars and will come back again.“

“Absolutely delicious! The steak with mushroom gravy melted in my mouth, and the mashed potatoes were perfectly creamy. Special thanks to our amazing waiter — the guy with the eyebrow piercing — he was on point: friendly, fast, and just awesome!“

“Outstanding customer service. Black Owned and Operated...“

“We need a freaking salad bar in Alameda! We used to have 2 sizzlers on the island! Food is great & price!“

“Amazing food!!!! Waitstaff were friendly and helped me decide what to order. Not my first time there, definitely not my last!!!“

“They have good food here and they still open“

“They’re reliable! Been going here for about 8 years now. It seems to be ran by a Chinese couple there, very kind folk. Always a smile on their face when I see them. It’s a super no-frills hole-in-the-wall call—ahead type dealio. Our regular items are:

1. Beef chow mein
2. Beef or house chow fun
3. Fried Rice
4. Beef and Brocolli
5. Sweet and sour pork
6. Fried pork wontons
7. Shrimp egg foo young - recent pick-up

& some refrigerated Dr. Pepper cans! Call ahead about 15-20 minutes and they’re always pretty good about getting done by then. Sometimes I wait a little extra but it’s because they’re a bit busy for dinner time.“

“Things have changed a lot at JL over the past 15 years I’ve been going there, including an updated menu and of course pricing.

In spite of inflation, their prices are still very reasonable especially the lunch specials. Taste and quality have improved dramatically for a joint like this.

Inside the dine in options are limited — just a few small tables usually 1 or 2 people in a rush. Most of us take to go.

Which is fine by me, cos it’s good portions, parking is easy in their small lot, the guy at the counter is super nice, and price and taste are good enough especially for lunch. Love it!“

“Tonight we our first time dining at LB Steak. We were celebrating both me and my husband’s birthdays. The food was quick and delicious but the attention to detail and service by Nancy was incredible! Everything and everyone left a wonderful impression on us and made our evening super special. Thank you LB Steaks and Nancy!“

“Just came back from a weekend in Manhattan where we had the best Italian dinner ever (Carmine's). Their chicken parmesan was so good. Since my daughter's favorite food is anything Italian, we thought we'd try the local restaurant. They had chicken parmesan on the menu so I thought I'd try it. Wasnt expecting much because I was spoiled by Carmines. It was good... not as big a portion but plenty ... the chicken was pounded flat, lightly battered, and covered with parmesan. And the sauce on the penne was really good. A great surprise. And even the appetizer, the calamari was fresh, on a salad with capers ... really good. great local find“

“Great food, reasonable enough prices. Im a big fan of the Tacos and the Quesadillas. If you’re aiming to get a roll, go for the SF Special. Roll, Tots, and a drink“

“I have been coming here for years and have always had great service. When I call in my order the lady knows my voice and always asks if I want the mushroom chicken (my usual) or something different. Went today and hadn't been here for months, and she still recognized my voice“

“Walking in, I loved the energetic, street‑food–style decor—it feels like a busy chowk in Mumbai itself. The staff were warm and enthusiastic, and I got chatting with the owner about the menu, which adds a personal, passionate touch that’s rare these days.

I tried a mix of dishes: balti paneer (perfectly spiced and creamy), garlic naan that was just the right balance of soft and toasted—all solid choices.

Portions are generous, prices are reasonable for the level of quality, and the casual counter-serve setup keeps things relaxed.

Overall, Mumbai Chowk nails the authentic Mumbai street‑food experience in Newark. Great food, friendly vibes, and a real sense of care in every dish—they’ve earned a returning customer with me.“
