50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Pacifica

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

“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!“

“Superb 4 star in my book.“

“Food is good and good size portions“

“Family owned sushi spot worth visiting! The food took a bit but that's because the food is prepared by the grandfather. He puts alot into his food and it shows. It's small place that could be easily missed. Great sushi and we would love to come again when in the area.“

“Great vegetarian options and sauces 😋“

“i seldom dine-in in this place but always when i crave for some pizza and especially a great delicious pasta VIVA ITALIANO IS THE BEST @ pacifica, ca. They served always the food freshly cooked and it’s really delicious and the people that worked there are friendly. Worth everything!“

“5star...best homemade food, prices and portions on the Coast!“

“My fiancé and I found your restaurant Saturday afternoon while sightseeing the city. We were so impressed with the atmosphere and hospitality. This place is the best for nice afternoon seafood lunch! Thank you so much for the delicious meal.“

“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“

“The oysters were fresh and sweet, and the Caesar salad was excellent — I especially loved the sardines and crunchy croutons. The cioppino was flavorful with generous seafood, though it only came with one small slice of crostini, which wasn’t quite enough to soak up the broth. Unfortunately, the linguine with clams was disappointing — the sauce was watery, bland, and lacked any garlic flavor. The brownie sundae was decent, nothing to rave about but a nice finish.

Service was just okay. Our server seemed a bit inexperienced — two entrées came out first, and we had to wait about five minutes for the third. The table wasn’t wiped down before dessert, and even after I asked for extra napkins (which I needed for the crab in the cioppino), they never came. Overall, some dishes shined, but the inconsistencies in food and service made the experience feel uneven.“

“Excente atención Delicioso todo El Sr Adrian y sus 2 compañeros nos atendieron de lujo 100% recomendable“

“Best poke in mission district.“

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

“One of our favorite places“

“It has been many years since we were at La Ciccia.  it has always been one of our favorite restaurants. My wife and I chose to go here on our anniversary. We were very happy that the restaurant was bustling, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious and unique.“

“Absolutely fantastic if you can handle the heat.
Had a wonderful Mango Habanero Aquachile.
The best I ever had…
But the heat is real.
This place is a real deal. You’ll see them prepare food and it’s as freas as it gets.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Great poke near SFO! About $20 for a huge bowl with 5 kinds of sashimi — perfect for anyone trying to eat light but stay full. I picked tuna, salmon, octopus, scallops, and another fish, with brown rice, veggies, and spicy mayo. Super fresh and filling until the end of the workday.

Ordering is easy — you just check boxes on the menu, no need for much talking (introvert-friendly ✅). The place is clean and casual, great for a quick healthy lunch.

They also have curry chicken katsu (crispy and delicious), sushi, ramen, and takoyaki. Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area!“

“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. 😅“

“Amazing down to earth people. Best entertainment option“

“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.“

“Always a hit! You are welcomed like family!“

“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)!“

“Love eating here at Chibog;) Home cook meal! Great service as well. They have so many delicious food to choose from!“

“This is one of those reviews that as a local I almost don’t want to post because Billingsgate is that good. Freshest seafood in The City, and the service is phenomenal. They also have all of the fresh herbs you could need for any of your seafood dishes which is a nice touch, and their food is fantastic. One of the real gems in SF.“

“Wow, what an incredible dining experience! My friends and I went this weekend and were blown away by the food. We tried a variety of dishes from the menu and everything was so fresh and flavorful, it's clear they use high, quality ingredients. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome. If you're looking for authentic and delicious Peruvian food with excellent service, this is the place to go!“

“So far I get takeout here as the seating is limited. Their food is delicious and I like the takeout because they use the paperboard containers and a sturdy paper bag. Hot food in plastic is harmful. Their portions and prices are fair and the sesame balls are amazing.“

“I’ve been to many MANY different Cajun seafood boil spots ALLL over the Bay Area and let me tell u guys… this was the most flavorful more delicious restaurant I’ve ever been to !
I got the Mac n cheese and the shrimp that comes with the sauce . And it was absolutely perfect ! I’ll definitely be going back next week ! And the customer service was also top notch! If u like flavor and great service GO HERE !“

“I often come here with my Cantonese wife and her mother, and it’s always a wonderful experience! The seafood fried rice is my favorite, and the owner is always so friendly. She gave me spicy sauce on the side after I said I love spicy food, and she always treats us to complimentary mango mochi for dessert. Highly recommend!“

“¡La comida es excelente y un servicio increíble! Pedí tacos de carne asada y me encantaron. ¡La salsa y las papas fritas estaban muy buenas!“

“Watermelon and arugula salad. It was a large portion, and excellent. The dinner was served with bread and butter for the table. The menu looks a little pricey at first, but the portions match. Service was top notch. Extremely scenic surroundings right on the beach, and live piano music.“

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

“Excellent food, excellent service, excellent ambiance!“

“Definitely food to be enjoyed with good company. Service was fast considering how busy it was. If I had company, I suspect it would have been perfect. The uni I had was smooth and buttery. All the sashimi and sushi had clean and distinct flavors.“

“JC Bruno is more than a restaurant, it’s a relationship. It’s now my #1 spot, and I’d recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone looking for great food, genuine people, and unforgettable service! If you’re looking for a go-to restaurant that feels like your favorite local spot and your second home, JC Bruno is it. I truly mean when I say that Marcela, the owner, is the soul of this place, and she has completely redefined what true hospitality means in today’s world. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted not just by a friendly staff, but by people who genuinely care. Marcela herself is always around, and what makes her so special is that she doesn’t act like a distant owner, but rather you feel like you’re planning something with a longtime friend. She’ll chat with you, laugh with you, and most importantly, she stands by you to help plan your perfect experience, whether you’re organizing a small dinner or a full-blown celebration. What blew me away most was how flexible she is. JC Bruno’s menu is already this amazing fusion of European, Mediterranean, and other international flavors, but if there’s something special you want that’s not listed? Just ask. Marcela will go out of her way to make it happen. That kind of flexibility is almost unheard of these days. I’ve worked with many restaurants for events and special dinners, but working with Marcela is different because she treats you like a partner, not a transaction. She’ll talk through your vision, offer smart suggestions, and help you figure out the best possible setup for your group. The way she collaborates with you makes it fun and stress-free. It’s rare to find a place where the owner is this involved and down-to-earth.“

“The best sushi place in SF…I am a sushi lover. The fish there are so fresh and the Uni are premium. From the sashimi to the Kobe beef, everything is top. Their pricing is also very reasonable. Eric and Phoebe are very nice and provide excellent service.“

“In The Bay, regardless of what type of cuisine, we have SO MANY options! I've probably patronized over 25 pupusarias in the last 10 years, but this joint is hands-down the absolute BEST! The pork and cheese pupusas were absolutely PERFECT! Fresh ingredients, cooked evenly where the filling was moist with bustling flavors and the outside was nice and crispy. Also ordered the enchiladas verde which, too, was spot-on.
Treat yourselves to a delicious meal and support this fine establishment. And oh, the service was polished, professional, yet evoked a very welcome-to-our-home vibe! ❤️“

“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 rarely leave reviews for restaurants but I couldn't not do it for Lion. The owner and her husband Chef Tom were so incredibly sweet; what would have been tricky to serve my in-laws and a fussy 1 year old ended up being the most amazing experience. The service was top notch and fast, the inside of the restaurant is fun and romantic, and on top of that, ALL our food was phenomenal - my husband and I agreed that we want to keep coming back and make it one of our regulars. Thank you Lion for such a memorable night for our family 💜“

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

“very fresh sushi, good service ☺️“

“Hermoso todo el lugar,excelente servicio La comida Deliciosa,igual que el postre Los recomiendo a toda la familia Lugar acogedor“

“Yan Peninsula, a renowned Chinese restaurant, stands out for its exceptional quality service, captivating atmosphere, and delectable cuisine. The restaurant’s beautifully crafted ambiance enhances the dining experience.
The Chicken Feet with Black Bean Sauce serve as an ideal appetizer, offering a harmonious blend of textures and delectable flavors. The Spear Ribs with Black Bean Sauce are distinguished by their optimal seasoning, avoiding excessive saltiness. The Shrimp Dumplings are a true culinary delight, characterized by their thin and flavorful wrapper, bursting with shrimp goodness. Despite its unconventional appearance, the Siu Mai with Shrimp Roe is surprisingly flavorful and enjoyable. While the Beef Rice Noodle Rolls are delectable, the overall experience at Yan Peninsula is truly exceptional.“
