31 Best Seafood Restaurants near Pacifica

“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!“

“Oh my god! Absolutely love this place!! The food was amazing, the miso soup hit, and the service was just the cherry on top. We had the lovely old woman who served us with amazing humor and sass, it was just lovely interacting with her. The food was so good, we had the vegetable tempura dinner (amazing), the Charlie Brown roll (real crab!!!), the Kani Kosen (bomb), and the spicy tuna roll (I’m not a huge raw fish fan but the flavor was great)!“

“Best poke in mission district.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Amazing down to earth people. Best entertainment option“

“Watermelon 🍉 Roll; no rice, refreshingly good Fried seafood chips appetizer; I wanted it as a meal it’s a different yum 😋 Ice cream sandwich wow!“

“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.“

“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. 😅“

“love love love two jack.Especially the snap burger and the beautiful owner!“

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

“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!“

“We stumbled upon this incredible gem a couple of years ago and have since made it our go-to spot. The flavors here are simply unparalleled in San Francisco—fresh, authentic, and bursting with Caribbean flavors. They offer a wide variety of options, but we highly recommend trying the out favorite traditional ceviche, the box lunch special, and the tostada mix ceviche—they’re all simply divine.

We definitely love and always adding calamari, chicken wings, guacamole, their sandwiches are all absolutely amazing.

And let’s not forget about their MICHELADAS!!!!! They’re the best in town. The ambiance is cool and inviting, and the vibe is always great.

Thanks, Dolores Waterfall, for always providing such a great experience. :)“

“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)!“

“I thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant so much in terms of food and service alike. I believe there’s two servers who work exceptionally hard. One is a lady with red highlights and tattoos, and the other is an Asian man with a black shirt and a fauxhawk. They were super receptive with us ordering and staying several hours because I had hung out with some friends that I haven’t seen in a long time. They kept topping this waters and asking if we needed anything else. The food was exceptionally good, especially if you’ve been here and got the short rib before, but the presentation is also equally as beautiful. There was no wait and the prices of the food were decent for the quality. I will be coming back as a loyal customer because I live within the area And I want to try the rest of the soup bases.“

“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.“

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

“Wasn't sure what to expect but those were some really good seafood garlic noodles.

edit 2/12: I went again because I was craving the seafood garlic noodles so much. the side veg dishes smothered in garlic butter are also really good.“
