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!“

“Cute little Italian restaurant. Superb service and mouth watering menu!“

“This was a great meal! The side salad/soup/apps/entrees came out of the kitchen fairly spaced out so it felt almost like a fine dining experience. Did take a while so know that it is a whole dining experience - not just a quick meal out to eat. I got the Saba no Shioyaki grilled and liked that better than the sushi my partner got. The tempura was amazing and so was the Age Dashi Tofu appetizer!“

“Best fish and chips we have ever had. We miss not being close enough to eat here. Always look forward to coming "home" and eating here.“

“I go out of my way to get La Mordida' salsa. Generous self serve salsa bar, delicious Chipotle, Verde, pickled jalapeños and carrots, and spicy peppers and mango salsa (I miss the spicy cucumber salad they used to have all the time. The vegetarian options are good, sometimes just all right, but they are very consistent and everything is very fresh. I can make a whole side dish out of their salsa bar while I wait for my order, which makes this my favorite taqueria in town. The one star is missing from my review in atmosphere, only because it's usually quite loud so I only do to-go. I've only sat inside to eat once or twice. The staff is wonderful, helpful, and kind, even with language barriers. Never gotten my order wrong“

“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!“

“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.“

“Lovely evening at La Ciccia. We came here almost two decades ago, before having children. It was nice to be back. We loved the appetizer of bottarga and celery salad, and the dessert of ricotta and marmalade. We liked but weren’t awed by the lamb steak and the squid ink fregola, but that might be a matter of taste. Service was exceptional. Grazie mille per una serata speciale!“

“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“

“One of our favorite places“

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

“Best poke in mission district.“

“Anchored in the bay, all the way from Puget sound and a dinghy ride in for food. Walked around and quickly realized this was the busiest spot in town. Cold beverages outside made the wait alright. The "award winning" fish and chips were great! Calamari too. Great food, generous portions & good view of our boats. Staff was fun too. Cheers!“

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

“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!“

“Solid Korean and Chinese food Restaurant. My husband and I favorite food is their spicy marinated raw crab so addicting and delicious. We usually order the crispy garlic scallops, HK noodles and crispy garlic string beans. So far majority of their food has been really good and tasty. All the staff are friendly and courteous. The owner is husband and wife they are so friendly and very welcoming so pleasant to talk to. Their portion is big“

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

“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.“

“Excellent meal with the excellent price. As a Thai person, I can guarantee that the food is authentic. When you see that a shop sells the single dishes that you never heard of, you know that they are confident in their dishes! I got the roast pork rice and it was everything I need for a good one. The staff is kind and friendly as well. You don't have to travel to a big city to get satisfying Thai food anymore :)“

“Check it out. Delicious food.“

“Amazing“

“The food was so good, so fresh and the micheladas were so good. We got shrimp ceviche and scallop ceviche which were both amazing, but i preferred the shrimp ceviche. We also got the shrimp tacos that were battered perfectly and had the best salsa. The music was also good and they have outdoor seating/dog friendly.“

“Total hole-in-the-wall dump, but this mom-and-pop spot is a local gem. The lady taking orders was very friendly and actually surprised when we said we wanted to dine in. Since they mostly do takeout orders, we were the only table eating inside. Many asian familys came in to pick up togo orders and to me that is a green flag. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the cooking is great. The walnut shrimp was fried perfectly, and the steamed pork with salted fish was exceptional. They cook that old school Cantonese style. Defy the looks and eat here—I'll absolutely be back!“

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

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

“This is my favorite restaurant. I give them 5⭐️“

“Had a fantastic experience this evening. I came in after a long flight and they accidentally forgot an add-on to my burrito and promptly made me a new one for me. Now I have 2 delicious burritos and they didn’t charge me any extra. I really appreciate when restaurants go the extra mile for their customers and I can’t thank them enough for their service this evening!“

“¡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!“

“The food they serve is actually fresh, not the frozen type, but they do make it upon request. For example, I love fresh diced grilled country potatoes, not that stringy stuff you add water to to cook. Some people like it so just ask for hash browns and they will cook it for you.
Been eating at their restaurant for years now. Great quality food!“

“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.“

“El Santaneco is a great spot for authentic Salvadoran food! The food is delicious, full of flavor, and feels homemade. You can tell there’s care put into the food, and the pupusas and tamales are especially good! Everything is satisfying and hits the spot when you’re craving authentic Salvadoran cuisine. The atmosphere makes it a nice place to enjoy a good meal, whether you’re stopping by for lunch or dinner. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in South San Francisco and looking for some good and authentic Salvadoran food. Highly recommend! 🇸🇻🔥“

“Excellent food, excellent service, excellent ambiance!“

“🍣 The best sushi in SF! 🇯🇵✨ Authentic Japanese quality, with ingredients imported straight from Japan. Incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely next-level. A true sushi lover’s dream! 🤍🍣“

“What a hidden gem! We recently went to PPQ in Millbrae with our family to celebrate a birthday and everything was so delicious.

Must order: the Imperial Rolls, Fried Peppercorn Tofu, Salted Egg Yolk Chicken Wings, their famous CRAB, Garlic Noodles, String Beans and Crab Fried Rice. To top it all off, they even serve Mitchell’s Ice Cream for dessert!

It’s the perfect spot for a family style dinner with something for everyone.

The owner, Tin, is absolutely a delight. He is so genuine and welcoming. The service was amazing from start to finish.

We had such a wonderful time and will definitely be back! I already miss their imperial rolls and fried tofu!!“

“El Rincón de Jorgito is a must in San Francisco if you’re craving authentic Peruvian food. From the moment you walk in, the service is warm and welcoming—like you’re being hosted by family.

And the food… wow. The ceviche is absolutely magical—fresh, bright, perfectly balanced, and packed with flavor. The lomo saltado is to die for: tender, savory, and cooked just right. And the causa is amazingly delicious—creamy, flavorful, and the kind of dish you keep talking about after you leave.

Simple, honest, unforgettable Peruvian food with great portions and genuinely kind service. Highly recommend! 🇵🇪🔥“

“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 food was delicious! Good service we had a great time!“

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

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

“Best dim sum in SF. Shark fin dumpling and deep fried pork puff are the best items. Low prices. No seating. To go only. Closes early, at 4 pm.“

“An intimate place to love ❤️ live music.“

“Convenient and close to us“

“Small chain location here.

Atmosphere is nice. A bit hidden away in the Park Merced area with a lot of the residential housing so it may be hard to find parking.

The place does not have premium so you need to get it as an add on for +$20 for A5.“

“It's hard to beat $2 nigiri!

Super cute sushi spot that serves up a too good to be true happy hour and vegan sushi! They do have actual fish and alternative fish :)

Their happy hour is daily from 5-9pm which is amazing and they have an ayce vegan sushi deal as well. They have more than just the $2 nigiri in their happy hour menu, you can also get rolls and hand rolls!

I thought their fish quality was fresh and the nigiri was delicious! The rice was a little heavy but overall super enjoyable! My favorite was definitely the toro and saba. I also really enjoyed their blue crab handroll. I was too full to try their rolls but I could smell the lion king roll and it smelled delicious.

Parking can be tough but it's in a charming neighborhood. Staff and service were awesome! I would definitely come back!“

“I ate there last week for the first time in several years. The menu is large and many different styles of food. I had the Prime Rib and it was EXCELLENT. There was 2 others in my party and they were equally impressed. Another benefit is that there are no parking problems. I will definitely eat there again.“

“Jeremy from Poke House was amazing! The food was fresh, flavorful, and delicious, and everything was put together perfectly. The portions were good, and the overall experience was amazing. Definitely a great spot if you’re craving poke. I’ll definitely be coming back!“
