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.“

“Arguably the best Cajun seafood in the Bay Area. We’re practically regulars here, we come about every two weeks. The headless shrimp, mussels, and king crab are all fantastic. The service is great too, very attentive, and parking is super easy. You can even grab dessert next door afterward with no problem.

If I had to point out one downside, it’s that the front door is ridiculously heavy and hard to push open.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“Note: I'm not sure why the hours show as closed, but I drove by on a Sunday and it was open.

Parking:
Ample parking, they have their own lot.

Atmosphere:
Very casual and chill. They have some tables and seats inside. The owner is a really nice lady and she let me bring my dog inside so that I didn't have to leave him in the car while waiting for my takeout order.

Food:
I ordered the set that comes with 1 fish, 2 shrimps, 2 oysters, and 2 scallops. I also ordered a side the fried zucchinis. Everything tasted great! The fries are a bit soggy, but I feel this is how they are at any fish and chips restaurant. The order also comes with all the condiments (ranch I think for the zucchinis, tartar sauce, lemon slices, salt packet, malt vinegar, shrimp cocktail sauce, and ketchup.

The serving size is also a lot. This alone was enough to feed at least 2 people (possibly more for small appetites).

Definitely will be going again.“

“Great restaurant“

“Me encantó si lo recomiendo 👍🏻“

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

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

“We stopped by Ray's Crab Shack last Friday for a casual family dinner. The place isn't fancy, but it's clean, well-lit, and surprisingly kid-friendly for a seafood spot. The portions are generous - easily enough to share.

Everything came out hot, seasoned well, and not overly salty, which I appreciate. Prices are fair for what you get, and parking's easy even on a weekend.

Not somewhere we'd go every week, but for a relaxed, messy, seafood-with-the-family kind of night, it's a solid choice. We'll be back when the craving hits.“

“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“

“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 place truly hits your cravings. The bhakri was really soft and fresh, and the fish curry felt so homely — it absolutely hit the spot. The fish was mouthwatering, perfectly spiced, and had a great crisp texture. The tomato curry was delicious as well.

We also got the prawn fry, and it was perfect. Honestly, it was a 10/10 experience. Too bad I was just visiting SF, otherwise I’d be coming here all the time!“

“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!“

“Amazing food, excellent service, family owned and run local restaurant that is consistently fresh and delicious with huge portions! Love this place!“

“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.“

“Just had a dish of soybean seedling and it was surprisingly good! They had a perfect little crunch on the outside but stayed tender inside. The seasoning was spot-on—a nice savory, garlicky flavor with a hint of spice. It's a great simple side dish, super healthy-tasting, and feels light even when ate lots meats.“

“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!“

“The food was really very tasty. The staff were very humble and courteous. Food was served in an excellent way.“

“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.“

“🎉 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“

“Super delicious Green Tea Salad, Samosas, green beans, vegetable curry dish, chicken curry dish, pineapple fried rice and coconut pudding dessert with ice cream we’ve ever had. Really great portions , super friendly staff - overall great energy! We highly recommend.“

“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!!“

“Wonderful neighborhood restaurant.“

“A great Japanese restuarant offering halal hibachi and sushi rolls. Small but cosy ambiance.
Personally love their dinner hibachi (Steak & chicken , steak & beef both). They serve hibachi with a soup and some salad which is great stuff. The spicy tuna rolls and the Californian rolls are worth the treat. I personally feel the hibachi serving should be slightly more but I don’t mind the current serving as well.
What I did not like was yakisoba, it had very less veges. Service overall is great. Must try if you’re looking for halal Japanese good food. However, it’s a bit pricy comparatively.“

“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 😋“

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

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

“buenísimo 👍lo recomiendo 💯💯💯“

“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.“

“I had an incredible meal at this new spot! The ceviche sauce was so delicious it actually convinced me to try raw fish for the first time—something I've never done outside of a sushi bar. The salmon with quinoa was also an absolute standout, though a touch less salt would have made it perfect.“

“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“

“Delicious food, quiet atmosphere, attentive staff. We went on a cold rainy weeknight, so the Tomato/Basil soup really hit the spot. The sole has a nice texture and cooked just right. The seared sole has a slight crispness on the outside and soft flakiness inside. We will definitely be back.“
