50 Best Seafood Restaurants near East Palo Alto

“Wow! First time here and I was blown away by the excellent food I was served. I was not expecting this level given the location and the humble appearance of the restaurant.

Out of their huge menu, I selected three dishes and they all came out within 10 min! All the food tasted delicious. Seasoned perfectly. Cooked perfectly. The orchata drink w/ coconut was excellent too and loved that it was lightly sweet.

I ate half of everything and took the other half home in clear plastic containers. I ordered a second orchata to go. I never take food home from a restaurant. NEVER. I always leave a lot of food behind and let it get thrown away. Always. But I scrapped the plates clean off of all the food that was left because I wanted to eat it all later for dinner. It was all that good. The only thing I left behind was the massive random onion (?).

Overall, outstanding food.

The waitresses and bartender were welcoming and courteous and always ready/available.

Will definitely return.“

“My gf and I got 1 lb of snow crab, half lb of clams, half lb of shrimp, extra potatoes and corn with their signature Loui sauce. They give a free side if you get 2 lbs+ of seafood. We got the garlic noodles which was amazing with their seafood boil. If you like garlic, this is a must have! The food was fantastic and atmosphere was great. Service was standard - no complaints!“

“Will be back! Great food 😋😋😋“

“Our take-out fish and chips were disappointing. Chips were undercooked and not crisp. The fish under the brown hard crust was OK but the whole presentation was unlike any light crispy dish our family has ever had as fish and chips. Not a repeat meal for us.“

“Great restaurant“

“Yummy Salmon!!!! Varieties of Food!! Fruit waters & TV!!!“

“Me encantó si lo recomiendo 👍🏻“

“I recommend Tacos Y MARISCOS El GORDO because of their yummy delicious SHRIMP tacos are my favorite plus I’ve had their Quesadilla and Mexican style shrimp cocktail… I like the fact that their children whom are teenagers work part time whom are polite and friendly like their parents“

“Update: second round still very good, better on weekdays.

One of the better crab shacks I've been to. Flavors were tasty, all the fried food was excellent. Service was fast and attentive. Coming back. Note: Gratuity varies on size of party. 5 to 7 ppl is 15%, 7 to 10 is 18%. Pricey.“

“Fish and chips are awesome. Shrimp skewer is delicious. Good value for the price.“

“muy rico todo completamente familiar puede divertirse y se siente como en su casa muy rico todo muy buena atencion recomendadisimo“

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

“Rico todo , buen servicio“

“I've known Pacific Catch for as long as I can remember, so we were happy when they opened in the newly renovated Sunnyvale downtown area.

We've been here a couple of times and both visits were consistent with what we expected. Good ambience, good service, and good food. The ingredients tasted fresh and the service was prompt. If you are looking for more authentic flavors and less Americanized food, there are plenty of other solid options, but it's convenient to have Mexican, Asian, and other flavors under one roof.

On our recent visit, we tried the Firecracker Salmon sushi, the Mexican bowl with shrimp, and a Modelo Negra to go with it. The flavors were mild, but the meal was enjoyable overall. We ended with a nice Hawaiian Sundae to complete the meal and it was quite good. Shout out to Marvin for the good service.

Definitely recommend if you are in the area and looking for a family friendly spot that can satisfy different tastes and preferences.“

“Food ambiance service location“

“As a repeat customer, I can confidently say that Surmai never misses the mark! Every thali and entree served here is the most authentic Malvani taste you can find in the Bay Area. From the perfectly balanced coastal spices to the incredibly fresh seafood, the quality and flavor remain consistently excellent with every visit. A special shout-out to Trely, who made this visit even better! Trely as always, was attentive, welcoming, and provided top-notch service throughout my meal experience. If you are craving true Konkani cuisine, especially surmai, paplet, kolambi and solkadhi, this is absolutely the spot to go. See you back again soon!“

“La comida que preparan es buena, me encantó la quesadilla de camarón el servicio que te dan esta bien y volveré para probar más cosas. Lo recomiendo“

“This is a wonderful, hidden gem! Beautiful weather, felt like a mini vaca, overlooking the bay! Oh ya, the food! Spot on. They have the recipe down. Delicious, crispy and fresh. No need to travel to the coast! Definitely try the shrimp tacos and fresh lemonade!“

“This is surely one of the finest place in the region. Whenever I come to this place I am absolutely satisfied. They keep their very high level service and the highest level of dishes they give. You always win with this place. Highly recommended.“

“Super chill lunch spot and unbelievably fast service. Huge menu options and still comes out flavorful. Lunch vibes are peaceful and layout allows to chill vibes while enjoying good food. If there Chinese dish you want, they will have it. Order at the table style so super easy for larger groups. Parking is in the middle of a shopping complex and Sunnyvale so when it gets busy hard to find parking but there are spaces available around the area. Overall a really nice Chinese food spot that would definitely visit again.“

“We celebrated a small 70th birthday for my aunt and we were in the patio area which was great for us. We were spread out and I'm sure was confusing for the staff to serve and keep track, but they handled it very well and everything was smooth.“

Safety Pluses - Online menu, Outdoor seating, Delivery services available, online ordering.

Food Review:
Tea Leaf Salad ($19.99) Romaine lettuce, fried yellow beans, garlic chips, sesame & sunflower seeds, peanuts, tomatoes and jalapenos all tossed with fermented green tea leaf dressing was mixed up tableside. Nice version with good ingredients, a moderate dressing and not much spice. 9/10

Burma House Noodle ($19.99) Rice noodle with red bell peppers, onions, cabbage and egg, with crushed peanuts & lemon on the side is on the sweet side. Less noodles than expected, still an enjoyable dish. 8.5/10

Overall - Very Good

“I am writing this review with great happiness because the service I received was beyond my expectations. I have known about this restaurant for a long time, but yesterday was my first time visiting, and I had a wonderful experience.

The food was very good, and the taste was excellent. We asked them to prepare the meat in a specific way, and they made it exactly as we requested. Their service was outstanding, especially Mr. Joe. He was very kind, respectful, and professional. He listened carefully to our instructions and made sure everything was served just the way we wanted.

I truly appreciate the great service and hospitality. Overall, the restaurant, the staff, and the food were all excellent. I would definitely recommend this place to others.“

“I truly appreciate the authenticity of Chinese cuisine, and the exceptional culinary skills showcased. The special tea duck, in particular, captivates my taste buds with its exquisite flavor. Each bite is a delightful experience, making it a standout dish for me.“

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

“🎉 Just had an unforgettable evening at Ettan! Cozy vibes, top-notch service, and every dish was a masterpiece. 🍽 The chef's special? Mind-blowing! 🤯 Whether it's for the ambiance, the flavors, or the amazing staff, Ettan's a must-visit. Left with a full belly and even fuller heart. ❤️ Can't wait to go back! #EttanMagic #FoodieDream #BestDinnerEver“

“Pleasant & courteous greeting, Neat & clean tables, Quick table service & ordering, Good food, served hot“

“Walked in not expecting much but was greeted lovingly by a sweet family running shop by themselves. They seemed delighted that we were eating In and the small homey setting really felt like they inviting us to sit at their table. The spam masubi was incredible, served fresh, with a sweet sauce, and a little touch of pork sung in there made all the difference. I got the wagyu beef with egg meal. It also came with that signature sauce and the meat was perfectly seasoned and tender. As we left, packing up the leftovers off the heaping plates of food, the father ran out to give us some extra sauce and make sure we didn’t leave without knowing how much we were appreciated. The incredible food and the family’s hospitality truly made it feel like I was eating a home cooked meal with my grandparents and I would love to come back and support them more!“

“Great service. Great food“

“Best Thai food since leaving Thailand! We used to live in Sunnyvale and Air and Young were running the place. We became fast friends and we really miss them! Their kids have done a great job with the place and we highly recommend Thai Spoons!!“

“Best Thai place i have been too! Great food and even better owners!!“

“buenísimo 👍lo recomiendo 💯💯💯“

“Wonderful neighborhood restaurant.“

“Great food, drinks and service!“

“Elia in San Carlos is absolutely amazing. The service is exceptional — friendly, attentive, and truly makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in.
The food was outstanding. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the seafood pasta with lobster was top-notch, and the octopus was perfectly cooked and delicious. The filet mignon literally melted in your mouth.
The restaurant itself has beautiful decor and a wonderful Greek vibe that makes the whole experience feel special.
What really touched us was the birthday card signed by the entire staff — such a thoughtful and sweet gesture that made the celebration even more memorable.
We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Defintely Poke'd Out after the lunch. Ordering method is broken down nicely and listed down well in the menu. It goes like Base + Poke + Mix-in + Sauce + Add-ons. I have chosen the medium sized bowl where I got 4 scoops of poke instead of mentioned 3, all the sizes get additional scoop as complementary. Chose couple of miso shrimp and spicy crab(it was spicy indeed) scoops. Tofu medley was not that great, tough to satisfy vegetarians or vegans. I felt the quantity was overwhelming for one person, small would be more than enough. Priced around $20 for the medium, it's on the expensive side, but the diverse selections make it recommendable. Note that it’s only a to-go restaurant.“

“muy rica comida! y los ceviches son delicious 😋“

“The food is really delicious. I loved the ceviche, so tasty like the ones you eat in Peru.“

“Got a sampling if a bunch of things. Chicken was very good. Fish was good but a little under seasoned. Shrimp very good. Fries were crispy and flavorful. Mac and cheese was decent but not amazing. Collard greens were some of the best I've ever had. Banana pudding was delicious. Pecan oie was good, but hoped for amazing. Service was friendly qnd attentive. Would definitely return, many times.“

“conozco a los dueños de Estampas desde hace muchos años y la calidad de la Comida es extraordinaria pero más que eso la calidad de persona que es el dueño es A1 no solo lo digo yo lo confirman los años que se mantiene en el Top de los restaurantes peruanos de esa área 10 de 10“

“We went tp Pranzi on my birthday which was on a Monday. I didn't tell them it was my birthday when I made the reservation. My nephew called the night before informing me that he was flying from East Coast and possibly could visit with me. He was able to join us for the birthday dinner. The restaurant overheard us speaking about my birthday and delivered raspberry sorbet with a candle! Staff was attentive. The food was delicious.“

“Pompeii is a wonderful family-owned gem in Los Altos. The service is always friendly and attentive, and the food absolutely delicious. The chicken parmesan, lasagna, and linguine are some of our favs, paired with their fresh homemade bread. You can really taste the care that goes into everything!“
