50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Newark

“Me encantó si lo recomiendo 👍🏻“

“​Ray's Crab Shack has fantastic food. Their sauce is incredible—perfect to buy to-go for home cooking—and the shrimp, king crab legs, crab cakes, and garlic noodles never disappoint. While their customer service is usually excellent, my recent experience was a bit rocky. They mixed up my seasoning and initially argued with me about the order. After my wife and mother-in-law weighed in, they corrected the mistake. I still recommend the food, but hope the service stays consistent with past visits.“

“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.“

“Stumbled upon this place last weekend. It’s a hidden gem when it comes to Chinese food. Price is reasonable with large portions and many choices. Had to go back again on Tuesday for fried rice and spicy orange chicken. Highly recommend!!!“

“Back to my most favorite place to eat. Thanks to you Mr Abdul Aziz and your wife, you were upto the best as always. I have been coming to this place for last six years.Best authentic and food that tastes just like made at home. Hopefully I was staying near. I would go there every day. Thank you to Mr and Mrs Abdul for keeping this place a great one.“

“I've been coming here for over ten years, used to get the lunch special at least once a week when I lived nearby.

Pretty much everything is good so choose whatever floats your boat. Like more Americanized Chinese food? Get the fried rice or chow mein (try the tomato beef pan fried noodles if you're dining in). Want something more authentic? Check out anything on the choose 3 dish special on the back menu. Rock cod clay pot or any clay pot dish is so good with rice. Also try the shredded pork with yellow chives and bean curd.“

“Will be back! Great food 😋😋😋“

“Great restaurant“

“It's not table service but pretty close to it. The good is really good. We had grilled salmon and barramundi. Both were good but the barramundi was really awesome. They served the food hot, a big plus in my book. The staff is very helpful and very nice.“

“Food was good.,cozy atmosphere“

“Rico todo , buen servicio“

“No need to go to Bodega Bay or Embarcadero SF, so glad this opened to satisfy my seafood fix. Friendly staff, spacious place, reasonable price, and the seafood selection big and quality is as good as any in the overated overpriced touristy seafront restaurants. So glad this opened. In the picture is my order of calamari, 12 oz chunky clam chowder, 12 oz chunky cioppino, and the spacial menu cheesy crab bread. Good portions, with still to take home, and very good quality. Will come back here again with friends and family for sure.“

“I came here and ordered a kimchi raice bowl with skirt steak and brussel sprouts, there was also cucumber and as a person who hates cucumbers I can say I loved these and the brussel sprouts were absolutely delectable everything was amazing and fresh. Jesus was my server and he took very good care of me, my cup was never empty and I wasn't waiting forever to check out.“

“My favorite taco truck! I love how every time I visit they greet me excitedly, exclaiming, Amanda!!! They always brighten my day and truly treat me like la familia. My Dad Loves their $5 ceviche bowl and tostadas. I always have the best time playing games with their 3 children, all so sweet, smart, well mannered, and my bonita. 😃“

“Kinda my favorite place til recently. Waiter F’d blamed me. 4 dined, we gave our order. 1 person changed their order, so 3 meals ended up being the same, then there was mine. They ended changing my order instead of the other person, he argued with me until he realized he messed up, never said sorry, and then still got my order wrong by cook my salmon well instead of veggies, which they forgot to add, but I paid anyways, to go.“

“Pésimo servicio de la cajera, hablándonos en tono burlón y riéndose y preguntándonos rápido que si vamos a querer la comida si o no.“

“Great first time experience“

“Bomb 💣.com not bad for the price I got full of the large poke bowl“

Kind and helpful staff

The atmosphere is a little louder and brighter than I would like but that's just personal preference

Overall a decent spot with room for improvement“

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.“

“This is my current favorite restaurant! I try to come in at least once a week and always get my favorite table! I’ve tried several different menu items and everything has always been consistently delicious! The service is friendly and attentive (my drinks always stay full) and the atmosphere is fun and casual. As far as price, I’ll just say I’ve paid A LOT more for food that wasn’t half as good!“

“The Mango Margarita at Mama Lupita's is simply divine. It's not too sweet and has just the right amount of tanginess.“

Mind-blowing! 🤯 Whether it's for the ambiance, the flavors, or the amazing staff, Ettan's a must-visit.

“Update: 27 Jun 2026, 2nd time, restaurant is Hella good. Watermelon drink was soo yummy.

Super awesome spot for a quick bite. Fried seafood was so yummy, the sauces were over the top. The burgers were juicy and produce was fresh. No seating inside so subjected to the elements but not bad on a faur weather day. Friendly and fast service.“

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

“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 😋👍❤“

“Great service. Great food“

“First time here after reading the rave reviews. I ordered the lunch special to go - it didn't feel like I saved any money but the meal was great. It's available on weekdays only from 12pm to 2pm. They have their own little parking lot and entrance is inside once you turn in from the main street.

Cajun Shrimp Rice Plate Lunch Special ($13.95 + $3.00 for fried rice) - Very well balanced meal! The egg roll and fried was a big plus. They are generous with their shrimp and the sauce is delicious. Would go back to try everything else.“

“Always Been Our Go-To For Any Occassion. Everything Is Great But Their Oyster Shot Is The Best“

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

“Fresh food.You will enjoy it!“

“The Dim Sum brunch js always delicious. Come early to guarantee a seat for larger parties of 6 or more. They are friendly and very accommodating. I also enjoy their dinner menu. I also recommend this restaurant for banquet style dinners and special occasions.“

“Good food nice service nothing but the best“

“we are there so late that the kitchen staff was leaving! And still no one come to push us out!

I ordered lamb skewers and the meat was cooked so good that it was falling off the bones tender. The portion was just right, not excessive or too small.

The server were attentive.

The only thing I don't like was the booth we were in. I think I'm the tallest person in my group, the booth is so low, as if its for little kids. I almost tip the table over when I sit down. But I was out numbered, so I didn't make a fuss.

Otherwise, very enjoyable dinner.“

“If you’re craving real Peruvian flavor, this place absolutely delivers 🇵🇪🔥 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The ceviche was espectacular—fresh, perfectly balanced, and full of that authentic citrus kick that takes you straight to the coast of Peru. The pollo al horno was juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right, and the ají de gallina… wow. Creamy, rich, and packed with tradition—pure comfort food at its finest. I’ve tried Peruvian restaurants all over San Jose, Sunnyvale, and Redwood City, and honestly… this is the best I’ve had in the area. The quality, the flavor, the authenticity—it all stands out. Highly recommend if you’re looking for truly authentic Peruvian cuisine. I’ll definitely be coming back 🙌“

“The service was great, food was brought out quick and all of it was so delicious. Will be back again.“

“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 👍“

“Friendly, fast service. Comfortable seating and clean, lovely decor. Pleasant music and atmosphere. The food was delicious and freshly made. The tempura coating was crisp without being oily. Good amount of food for the price. Planning to return for sure!“

“Stopped by it as its road sign mentioned Indian coastal food, something I grew up eating, a cuisine that’s built around seafood and vegetables, basically locally available ingredients, and not much meat or pure vegetarian that usually define Indian food. This cuisine from the west coast of India starting from Mumbai through the southern tip of Kerala has regional flavors but they are very similar.

I ate a vada-pav, a popular street food in Mumbai and a Mumbai thali with fried pomfret. The thali basically a full course meal starting from an appetizer through a dessert, all arranged in a steel plate. It was delicious- probably I was just nostalgic as it reminded me of the days in Mumbai as a graduate student.

Definitely a place to check out if you are tired of the normalized Indian that rarely exposes its wide range and regional diversity.“

“In the past 3 months, I've been here 3 times for dim sum on the weekends. Our group size varied from 4 people to 9.

I'm can honestly say I'm shocked at the negative reviews. Our food is always picture perfect and the staff is quick and attentive. We had the pleasure of being greeted by Frank, our host, every visit. Frank is so friendly and kind! He waves at his guests as they leave and he even smiles - if you frequent Chinese restaurants, you know what a rarity this is. My aunt and uncle came for a visit from Hong Kong, and even they were impressed with the service and the food.

I love the black bean chicken feet, roast pork and duck, spare ribs and wu gok. Honestly, everything I've eaten here has been great. For dim sum. the weekends tend to get busy just before noon. We usually arrive around 11 and have always been seated right away.“

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

“We had the most amazing dinner at the restaurant. We were there all weekend. The staff is amazing. The food is out of this world. If you are in the area, you must stop there thank you. I’ve never eaten such an amazing pasta dish and I love Italian food and you guys nailed it and let’s not even start with the lamb chops. Omg. I need to come back again soon.“

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

“I had a wonderful dining experience at this grilled fish restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the service was truly exceptional. The staff were professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They took the time to explain the menu in detail, offered thoughtful recommendations, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire meal.

The grilled fish itself was excellent — fresh, perfectly cooked, and beautifully seasoned. The texture was tender and flavorful, and the ingredients tasted high quality. The side dishes were well-prepared and complemented the fish very well.

What stood out most was the level of care and attention to detail. The staff checked in regularly without being intrusive, ensured everything was to our satisfaction, and created a warm and pleasant dining atmosphere.

Overall, this restaurant combines outstanding food with truly remarkable service. I highly recommend it and will definitely be returning.“

“My husband & I go to flemmings on special occasions, we love everything about the restaurant! Also awesome lemon drops🍸🍸🍸🍸👌😊“

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