50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Newark

“Me encantó si lo recomiendo 👍🏻“

“Good place to take big groups, went with 11 family member on a Friday night for dinner and they accommodated well. The seafood tastes fresh and the portions are good.
The garlic noodles are a must try.

On the weekdays it's not busy for lunch and they have a great happy hour menu, M-F 2-5pm.
Oysters are fresh and creamy. Edemame came in a big sharing portion.
I like the shrimp and fish tacos, only on the happy hour menu.
The chicken can be dry sometimes but the flavors are 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.“

“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.“

“Been coming here for 15 years. Food consistently good. Prices are cheap. They remember who I am and remember my orders. I can order ahead of time and when I show up, the food is ready! :)

One of the few restaurants that still serve FREE tea!

And free soup (hot and sour, beef broth, corn soup) depending on the day you arrive. Can’t remember if this also applies to lunch but for dinner, a free soup bowl for each person

Plenty of parking. Accepts credit or cash

When my kids were under 5 yrs, I use to come here and they did their homework and then we ate. They never complained

I see other reviews about rude servers. There are two who have been here 20 plus years. One doesn’t speak English very well, gosh, give this mom and pop place a break!
And one reviewer says she came here 15 yrs and one bad experience after 15 yrs, they now get 1 star…sad…what happened to the other 15 yrs??“

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

“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.“

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

“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“

“Good food nice service nothing but the best“

“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.“

“10/10!!! Flavor heaven! Best seafood truck in the bay area, Hands Down! I'm not even a big seafood guy, but when it comes to Mariscos Pueblo Culichi 2, you can expect top tier seafood EVERY TIME! I'll definitely be coming back for more!“

“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. 😃“

“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 😋👍❤“

“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.“

“Dined here for the 1st time and loved it! Classic old-school steakhouse vibe with polite staff and delicious fresh eats. We enjoyed the calamari app with a cosmopolitan 🍸. Filet mignon with mashed potatoes, Mac & cheese. Halibut with zucchini/squash and garlic fries. Ended the meal with cheesecake & tiramisu.
My only critique is the tiramisu could be more moist—soak the ladyfingers in espresso more. Can’t wait to return to try more!“

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

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

“The food was good. It can get expensive building your own bag. The lobster was a bit over cooked but not horrible. The garlic noodles were amazing with beef. The lemon pepper wings plate was good the seasoning was all over the place but still curly fries were fire. Dip the wings into the broil sauce fiiiiire. Overall it was a soild experience and enjoyed the food.“

“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 🙌“

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

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

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

“Great first time experience“

“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!“

“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.“

“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🍸🍸🍸🍸👌😊“

“(Translated by Google) Very good place to eat well the dishes that I have tried are tasty and have a very good variety. They have a lot of food, not just seafood. 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.“

“I dont like to give small businesses a hard time, the food was amazing the only issue i have is the consistency of their hot and hour soup, ITS EXTREMELY THICK, I've been to house of dumplings and hong Kong city restaurant in the area, this is thr first time encountering soup being served like this. I hope I can either get a refund on the item or an exchange. None the less everything else was great, just wish I didn't pay 11 bucks for this item“

“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!“

“There are two important reasons to go here: fish tacos.“

“Pretty decent overall. I wish the protein (fish) servings were a little bigger.

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“

“It’s yummy The Sopes are really really good and mom keeps ordering the Enchiladas Verdes de pollo“

“My friend was visiting from Washington. First time for both of us. The waitress was wonderful, explained everything. We had the 3 item bag. oh so good !!! mild sauce was just perfect. The shrimp and mussels were cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back with the family. 🦐💕“

“Saturday afternoon, the place was packed. Location next door to the church and right at the corner of a busy intersection I'm certain help. But the food was very good also. I had the pupusas was a side of beans and rice. All very very good.“

“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.“

“great food. good service“
