“Location, location, location! We stopped here solely because we smelled the delicious food as our boat came in from our whale watching trip across the harbor.
We walked in around 3pm, were seated along the bar overlooking the harbor with a great view. Unfortunately the staff either forgot about us or didn't realize we were in someone's assigned section because we ended up waiting almost 30 minutes for someone to come over to take our order. I tried turning around to make eye contact with the staff, but they were hard at work and I didn't want to interrupt them as they were almost always speaking to other customers. We watched several tables who were seated after us get their order taken, so I started to get nervous knowing they closed at 4pm.
Right before we were about to leave a friendly staff member approached us to ask if we had been helped. We ordered everything at once to be efficient with time - my husband and I split the clam chowder, fish and chips, and a side order of sourdough bread. We received our food around 3:50pm and we were so excited to get our food.
Ultimately I am glad we ended up waiting, the food was delicious and hit the spot after a busy day. I would say if you are on a time crunch, don't stop here. We will definitely come back, we'll just budget for more time!“

“Incredible food!!!! This place is fantastic. It’s behind the center. We walked up, placed our takeout order, and was on our way home in 15 mins. We ordered the tikka wrap and rice bowl and lots of garlic naan. It was all AMAZING. We also got the rose lemonade and the mango lassi. Both phenomenal. The owner (I think) threw something else in, some type of veggie curry and that was also Felipe’s. We cannot wait to return. Definitely worth indulging!!!!!“

“Had the Castroville Scramble (3 eggs, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, onions, with home fried potatoes and Rye toast) and it was VERY VERY good! The service was great and food delivered promptly. there's a small outdoor dining area tgat was very nice even though it's in a very commercial/industrial part of town. A very pleasant dining surprise for hungry travellers!“

“Picked up food to go last year and it was really good. So happy that we found this place again! Ordered garlic parm and spicy fried chicken wing plates, lemongrass chicken and beef meatball pho. Also ordered strawberry and melon boba milk tea and Vietnamese coffee with egg cream. Food and drinks came out quickly. Customer service was great. It was so good that we ate and drank everything! We will definitely come here again when we’re in the area.“

Our first time at The Fish House but definitely not the last! You can view our “Food Coma - The Fish House Bar and Grill Watsonville, CA - Jon and Kristel Coma” episode on YouTube.“

“🛑🛑 Best Korean restaurant I’ve had in the Bay Area — considering food quality, portion size, value, and overall experience.
🍖 The massive plate of pork hock was only $40 and could easily feed multiple people. Flavor 10/10, no foul flavor, spiced to perfection
🥘 The bibimbap portion was huge — honestly enough for two people.
🍲 The soondae guk was a perfect 10/10. Rich, comforting, perfectly seasoned, and served in a bowl noticeably larger than what most Korean restaurants give you.
🍚 Even the rice stood out: plump, slightly sweet, and perfectly cooked without being sticky.
❤ What truly made this place special was the experience.
The server was an elderly Korean grandma who was one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. When I mentioned I was celebrating my birthday, she brought out a Choco Pie with a candle, sang Happy Birthday, and made the whole experience feel incredibly personal and memorable.
🏡 The restaurant is family-owned, with the family’s house right next door. The entire place feels warm, authentic, and welcoming—like you’re being invited into someone’s home rather than dining at a restaurant.
📌 Final verdict:
* Extremely homey atmosphere
* Warm, genuine service
* Huge portions
* Outstanding food
* Incredible value for the price
This is one of those rare restaurants that I absolutely have to revisit whenever I’m heading down toward Monterey or anywhere south of the Bay.“

“Decem and QQ gave us the BEST service we have EVER received. No exaggeration. They provided our group with such a wonderful experience and ALL of our food was amazing. We had chow mein, wings, Mongolian beef, sweet & sour chicken, rice, wor wonton soup, ginger tea, and the sesame seed dessert balls (I don’t remember what they were called). Above all, they treated us like family. We will absolutely be having more family dinners here. If you are reading reviews to see where you should go to eat this is THE place to go. P.S. You must try the chicken wings!“

“Ive been coming here for years. Ive moved out of salinas 20 years ago and I still drive 40 minutes when I crave Chinese food. Ive tried other places closer to home but they lack what this location provides. Food is always fresh Always delicious and they have never skimp on portions. Its a family own business and they are always kind.“

“Every single time I go to this restaurant, the food is excellent! Ana is the best server! My family and extended family love, love, love everything we have tried. My current favorite is Hunan Beef. The Singapore Rice Noodles are great, eggplant, every variation of rock cod, Peking pork… They can vary any dish to your liking. The lunches are a good deal, enough food for two meals for me. However, going with my family and getting a variety of dishes is what we like the best. Usually there are six to eight of us and we get to eat all of our favorites.“

“We had a good experience at El Palmar.
The restaurant was clean, and it was not too crowded when we visited in the afternoon, which made for a relaxed atmosphere.
Our server was polite and friendly. While service was a little slower than expected, she appeared to be managing the dining room on her own, and we appreciated her efforts.
We enjoyed the aguas frescas, and the Taco Tuesday specials offered good value. The tacos were good overall, although the carne asada tacos were not as hot as we expected when they were served.
Overall, it was an enjoyable meal, and we would consider visiting again.“

“Had a solid meal with the guys. We ordered the chicken taquitos for the table. I got the Cali wrap with carne asada. They ordered the chicken and shrimp fajitas and the combo meal with chicken enchilada and shredded beef taco. Everything was superb. Ask for the salsa verde if you like some kick. The complimentary chips and salsa are great as well.“

“My family of 5 went there for brunch yesterday. We were seated quickly and received immediate service. We had the chicken pesto sandwich with a salad; the pancake combo, two waffle combos; and a meat lovers omelet with potatoes. We enjoyed it all! The chicken pesto sandwich was perfection! The pancakes and waffles were delicious, the bacon had good crunch, the eggs were scrambled and cooked just right! Also, they had this orange muffin that was amazing! We can't wait to go back! It was so yummy!! We all left full and satisfied.“

“Growing up in Watsonville, Pizza Mia was the quintessential spot for a quick, satisfying slice, a concept that feels rare these days. Returning after more than a decade, I was eager to see if it lived up to my memories, and it absolutely did.
The pizza remains consistently good, the crust is thin but not too thin, with a soft, fluffy interior and a satisfying crisp. The sauce is the real standout, it's light, slightly sweet, and perfectly balanced, complementing every bite. It is simple, unpretentious, and exactly what you hope for from a neighborhood pizzeria.
Service is fast, and the pricing is fair. I had three slices of pepperoni pizza and three water bottles for $13.81. What struck me most is how Pizza Mia manages to deliver both nostalgia and quality, proving that some local favorites are timeless. The only downside is that I noticed the seating area is now closed, which is a bummer as that was a place to sit, eat, and enjoy your pizza and maybe play an arcade game.
For anyone in Watsonville craving a classic slice done right, this is a must visit!“

“We are locals who come here often. The owner is wonderfully accommodating. We usually order the combination plate for 2 or more people because you get fried rice, soup, egg rolls, and cream cheese wontons. We have also tried the lunch special as well. They usually get a lot of to-go orders. We have ordered a number of things, and all are very good. Their hot and sour soup is very good.“

“My wife needs no spicy, they served full spicy heat to her. Not good. Sent back. Our server barely noticed we were there. The others seemed fine.
When we got what we ordered, very good pumpkin curry, fresh veg rolls.
Relatively quiet and views.
We'll be back for sure, if only because my wife can get mild spices“
