34 Best Seafood Restaurants near Millbrae

“Been meaning to review this location.
This location is perfect for crab and lobster lovers. We ordered the crab and lobster set menu and had both the crab and lobster cooked with garlic sauce. I was told it was amazing, since I am allergic to both crab and lobster, I more of the garlic noodles -yummy., papaya salad, steamed sea bass and charbroiled pork. I really liked their garlic noodles. It’s as good as Thanh Long .“

“I ate there last week for the first time in several years. The menu is large and many different styles of food. I had the Prime Rib and it was EXCELLENT. There was 2 others in my party and they were equally impressed. Another benefit is that there are no parking problems. I will definitely eat there again.“

“I recently had the chance to check out Yan Peninsula in Millbrae, and overall, it was a refreshing and flavorful experience. The restaurant is located right on El Camino Real, and while parking was a little tight (as it always seems to be around here), I lucked out with a spot in their small lot.

The inside feels modern and clean – it’s a bit more upscale than your typical dim sum joint, with no carts roaming around. Instead, you fill out a paper checklist, which I actually preferred because it meant everything came out fresh and hot.

We ordered a mix of the classics and a few house specials. The baked BBQ pork buns were absolutely delicious – crispy outside with sweet, savory pork inside. The shrimp siu mai with roe was solid, and the texture was just right. A surprise standout was the salted egg yolk lava buns – rich, creamy, and perfect as a dessert.

The only slight miss for me was the BBQ rice noodle rolls – the texture was a bit too thick and gummy, but not a dealbreaker.

Service was friendly, though a bit slow during peak lunch hours. We had to flag someone down a couple times for tea refills and to check on a missing order, but everyone was polite and helpful once we got their attention.

Pricing is on the higher side – we were a group of four and ended up with a $100+ bill (including a 15% service charge). Still, for the quality and clean, relaxed atmosphere, I felt it was worth it.

Final thoughts: Yan Peninsula feels like a great option if you’re craving dim sum but want a cleaner, more modern experience without the chaos of traditional push-cart spots. I’d definitely go back – maybe on a weekday to avoid the crowds.“

“粥品美味道地。沙薑雞實在太好吃了。“

“Very good. The Brown sugar pancake is very soft and chewy. And the Sour beans Gnocchi with minced pork is very tasty as well. the Gnocchi is made of very authentic Chinese northern style dough,it’s their specialty here,also very chewy and tender. I like it. Will definitely be back.“

“Love this place! Service is excellent, and the food is truly spicy!“

“Great consistently tasty food. Good selection of both seafood and non seafood items. My family loves celebrating birthdays here.“

“Stop by Zen restaurant for a quick lunch before my flight. Food came quickly.

I ordered the pepper and pork intestine stirfry lunch special and Hubs ordered the Peking pork chops. Both were pretty good and because it was a lunch special the value was definitely there.

Would come again .“

“Probably one of the best dim sum places in South San Francisco! We were there just before 10:30 in the morning on a Sunday and they had a line outside the restaurant. Service was good and excellent dim sum, I highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic and freshly made dim sum!“

“Jeanette was outstanding a true professional. Whenever we travel from Connecticut we stop in . We will be back in May and ask for Jeanette ahead of time . Thanks Excellent service“

“One of our favorite places“

“Loved the outside setting, very quiet, no traffic or crowds of tourists.“

“Their chef Ramzy openly admits to tampering with the food of Jewish customers and ownership does nothing. Avoid this place and the Nazis who run it.“

“This place was such a find. Great food. Wonderful service. The oysters were fantastico! Great gluten free options. All around the table were pleased. Deviled eggs, clam chowder (extra awesome), ceviche (wonderful), fried artichokes (OMG gluten free), seasonal watermelon salad + a decent wine and cocktail list. If I lived in this neighborhood I'd be here at least once a week. I just wish I had remembered to take pictures.“

“We changed our travel route to make sure we make it back to La Ciccia! Wonderful flavors as we remembered from a couple of years ago. We were so excited to dig into our favorite dishes that we forgot to take pictures. The owner was lovely and brought out the lamb dish because she had forgotten to tell the server that we asked for the next dish. (which was totally not expected but we really appreciated) After the first-time dining here, we made it a goal to visit Sardinia. Hope to continue to dine here when we come to San Francisco for years to come! Can't wait for this spread again: Pani Guttiau (Traditional Sardinian Flat Bread baked with EVOO and Pecorino) Casisceddu e Rughitta (Burrata cheese Arugula Anchovies and Truffles dressing) Malloreddus a sa Campidanese (Semolina Gnochetti Pork Sugo Pecorino Sardo Dop) Pasta Cruzza cun Arrizonis (Artisanal Fusilli Sea Urchin Tomato Anchovy (Cured Tuna Heart) Gamberoisi Arrustiusu (Oven Roasted Whole Prawns Basil Oil Parsley) Pezza de Angioni a sa Saba (Seared Lamb Tenderloin Tagliata Sardinian Saba) **the special surprise** thank you!“

“My son took me here for lunch - we’d been meaning to try it. We were very pleased - amazing view with tiered tables so other guests aren’t blocking the view. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious and nicely presented. As a nice addition, there was a pianist playing while we dined which added to the ambience. We will come back because it was such a nice treat. One of those places that makes me love living in California!“

“first time very impressed the server the food was so good love it best LUNCH DINNER recommendation“

“Was greeted & seated promptly. Welcomed by Manager Hung. Brittany was our waitress & we received the 20th Anniversary Sacks. Happy Anniversary.“

“Great place for fish and chips or a burger!“

“Amazing down to earth people. Best entertainment option“

“Really good food and very fresh. If you get a poke bowl as long as there's no line the service is fast. You have to place your order through a piece of paper marking everything you want even if it's only one item. The prices are a little costly but that just seems to be businesses across California nowadays.“

“I had an exceptional dining experience at Evangelian Cuisine! The seafood was unbelievably fresh and flavorful—truly some of the best I’ve ever had. We ordered the paella and fish and chips, and both dishes were outstanding.

Our waiter, Adolfo, was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the ingredients in the dishes we ordered and the wines they offer. He recommended the Albariño Eleusis, which turned out to be one of the best white wines I’ve ever tasted! Adolfo was polite, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal.

Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves great seafood and superb service!“

“The food is amazing! Armando is a FANTASTIC server!!“

“Check it out. Delicious food.“

“Great service, super generous servings, and delicious! We ate here for mother's Day and I think we may have ordered too much as we were not expecting the large servings, which is totally not a bad thing! I think the HK noodles were my favorite and I'd say the salt and pepper shrimps were my least. It's lacking a bit of saltiness or umami compared to other places. Overall, I will come back but probably order less. 😅“

“I really love California Fish Grill in Cypress for dinner forever!! ☺️☺️🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖💕💕💕💕💞💞💞💞💞💓💓💓💓💓💓💗💗💗💗💗💗💗🍽“

“Love this place, I keep coming back. They have a standout Beef Chow Fun with generous beef and strong wok hei. I always order the Minced Pork and Mei Cai which I miss from Singapore, and feel is pretty uncommon for Chinese restos in SF. We've also tried many other items - clams with egg, rock cod and tofu claypot, etc - all homey and delicious.

The uncle who runs the place is pretty friendly and charming to EVERYONE too (also uncommon for Chinese restos for non-Chinese speaking diners)!“

“Superb 4 star in my book.“

“Adorable place with amazing food. We drove down to Half Moon Bay from SF and we’re looking for some quick comfort food at a place that was kid friendly and this was amazing.

The food is fresh, unique and incredibly tasty.
Highly recommend it and wish it was in the city so I could have it more often.

Trust the other reviews lol- it’s great!“

“La sopa súper deliciosa, sin embargo no ofrecen bebidas al momento de tomar la orden. Aunque si hay bebidas gaseosas y demás no nos ofrecieron nada de eso, las raciones son algo pequeñas.“

“like being in Italy. Fabulous food, excellent service. The atmosphere is so Italian you'll think that you are in Italia. Bravo.“

“Parking: free parking, but very busy over the weekend.

I have seen many locations across the bay area.

Food: Most of the foods are grilled or fried. All of them are tasty and fresh. Many fish choices, sauces, and sites to choose from. My favorite sauces are garlic butter and Cajun. The fish and chips are very good with tartar sauce. The grilled sea bass fish are very flavorful and would recommend having sauce on the side.

Price: very reasonable price for portions of food.“

“We came in for drinks which were amazing!! Pretty cheap as well, and such a large selection. I think the actual building and vibe is just kind of funny, but we sat outside and it was nice. Will definitely come back for drinks, and there were some things on the menu we would like to try… but for now I cannot speak on the food besides that it looked pretty good, but seems a bit pricy.“

“Love the dry aged porterhouse, juicy and delicious. The service was phenomenal and of course the new location.“
