50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Poway

“our waiter was amazing. food was top notch had crab stuffed shrimp with jalapeño cheese sauce. Get it!!“

“Nice addition to Scripps Ranch suburbia with good food and nice staff.
It is finally getting busier and hopefully they stick around for a while.
Wish they had happy hour as this would bring more locals in.
Parking can be a hassle on busy evenings.“

“I accidently ordered from the wrong location for pickup and was ready to pay a second time just get the food but they insisted I did not pay again and prepared the food I ordered anyway. Absolutely lovely people, it was very kind of them. As for the food itself, it was great with generous proportions to boot.“

“Food was fresh and delicious“

“Great food! Highly recommend!“

“Loved everything about the experience, the gentleman who took our order was so friendly and answered our questions, realized we had little ones and brought us water cups and plates without us asking. There is a great natural light, soft music so you can still socialize and the fooood, it was so gooooood, everything was good, that's not even an exaggeration. The flavor omggggg, please stop and eat here.“

“Omg my smoked tuna and grilled fish tacos were SO GOOD that I forgot to take a photo 😂 SO much flavor, amazing seasoning, just go! And the girl that attended me was awesome, amazing customer service in both English and Spanish 😃🇺🇸🇲🇽“

“Hidden gem executes a classic flawlessly.

The dining room is no-frills; note that it's too small to have a public restroom.

Definitely some of the best fish and chips you'll get in San Diego.

Easy to believe that they've been rolling for 50+ years, mind-boggling that they aren't more widely known.“

“Their fries were amazing. There were 4 of us, 2 like seafood and 2 did not- perfect place to go with affordable prices. Burger was juicy and the secret sauce to go with burger- delicious. There service was friendly and gave great recommendations“

“JTB. EXELENTE. DEL MAR A SUMESA“

“Better than expected for sure. I was pleasantly surprised, thinking this would be something between a hole in the wall diner and a Rubios. Turned out way better. Food was great, place was hoppin, full bar, plenty of service staff, etc. Only place I can even think to say they could have been a step better would be seating; it was clearly built for cleanliness over comfort where a combo would have been nice. 👍🏼 Great job to the owners.“

“Every time I go to Escondido Surfing I have a great experience and the manager is very personable!!!“

“The seafood here is plentiful and enjoyable, but something is just not quite top-notch. The shrimp were overcooked and still had “poop lines” down their back, which are challenging to remove with plastic gloves on. The mussels still had the “hair” in them. The potatoes and corn were excellent, as were the fried scallops.

They serve their food with lots of lemon wedges, but even that can’t seem to add enough brightness to the overly buttery sauces.

Service was good, and the atmosphere feels homey. Nothing is trying to be over-the-top (no fishing nets and oars all over the place, just a nice hardwood interior).“

“Fish District is much better than the Rubios and Fish Grill that are nearby. Their food is fresh, delicious, and healthy.

The cashier/server Paige provided excellent recommendations and outstanding customer service.

Will definitely return!“

“Service is great. Food is awesome, we even had to order more of the garlic noodles to go!“

“Delicious food! I ordered the Tilapia plate with the rosemary zucchini & side salad. It came with a good amount of fish so was happy with the protein portion size. In the picture I had already eaten one of the fish filets. 🙊 The service was excellent too. Was greeted right away, offered help to put my order in the kiosk but told them I could manage. I accidentally put in that I wanted Cajun sauce, thinking I was putting in no cajun sauce so the order came out wrong because of my mistake but they were more them happy to remake it for me. Thank you for a wonderful experience!“

“Great food and awesome service“

“SYDNEY it’s a ROCK STAR! Thanks so much! Busy Day and she was amazing! 🌻“

“Let me tell you why we loved this pokes:

1. They have more than 10 options of proteins and you can choose how many scoops you want. My favorite one is tuna.
2. They have 7 different sauces. I chose Fire Loki and it was on point.
3. They mix the protein with the sauce at the moment they are making the poke.
4. They have 17 toppings. I had all of them in my poke!
5. The food is really fresh.
6. And the guy was really patient with us considering I’m a very indecisive girl…

Thank you!“

“Okay, the food was certainly very good for the price. I had Ahi, it is only offered medium to well done. There was no pink in the middle. Probably a safety issue. Mom had two fish, salmon and another. The salmon was a bit fishy tasting. I am picky! But, overall, the price was low, staff friendly, there was an ample quantity, with rice, and, if I remember correctly, a small salad.
It's an order at the counter, staff bring the food to your table experience. There is indoor and outdoor seating.“

“Freshest Live Lobsters.“

“cheese enchiladas to go were very good! Food ready in minutes! good job!“

“Great Food good drinks“

“One of the best authentic and reasonable Chinese restaurant that I dined at in San Diego. It’s a small but very good restaurant with lots of options. Unfortunately I was there when many of their specialty dishes weren’t available because of Chinese new year and so many customers. But the dishes that we did have were outstanding. Also, very reasonable. Six of us had a very good and large dinner and we only spent about $130. Good start to be new year!“

“Amazing food Amazing service. Food was so fresh and delicious.“

“As a long-time fan of Japanese curry, I was thrilled to finally visit a Curry House CoCo Ichibanya – my first time at this particular chain, though I'm no stranger to the style, having frequented a beloved (and now sadly closed) Curry House in Westwood pre-pandemic. I was so happy to find the menus quite similar, with all my old favorites present and accounted for!
We started with the Garlic Cheese Naan, which was absolutely delicious fresh and hot, though it did lose a bit of its magic as it cooled – so definitely enjoy it quickly! It was also my boyfriend's very first foray into Japanese curry, and I'm happy to report he absolutely loved it. He opted for the spicy teriyaki fried chicken, while I indulged in my classic chicken cutlet. Both dishes were just as rich and flavorful as I remembered, hitting all the right notes of comforting deliciousness.
My only minor disappointment was that they were out of iced coffee, which would have been a perfect complement. Nevertheless, the overall experience was fantastic, and I'm already planning my next visit to have my old favorite, the keema curry! I'll definitely be back when I'm in San Diego.“

“Always a wonderful experience with great food and service! I have loved every thing I’ve tried on the menu. This is our go to place whenever we want tasty and excellent cuisine👏“

“One of my favorite places to go for buttered chicken or tikka masala. And that himalyan special naan of theirs is quite wonderful to dip in curry. Eating there has its perks as well, first time having lentil soup and it was delicious and it was included for free.“

“summary: good food, great service, reasonable prices, good portions, support local businesses!

decided to come here on a whim with some friends as a post finals mini adventure and boy did we make the right choice
there was not a customer in sight but we made our way to the ordering counter and were met with the most personable server we’ve ever had at a poke place, or any restaurant for that matter! he was so nice, offering samples (which i’ve never experienced at a poke place) and suggestions, and would throw in some fun comments to our choices (often apologizing for talking too much but no worries at all😆)

onto the food, they have a few unique poke marinades here! the standouts for us were the sichuan peppercorn tuna- it was almost candied with an interesting texture, kinda like a gummy or beef tendon in the best possible way- as well as the spicy kimchi salmon and scallops! the coconut curry poke has potential, but it’s not quite there yet (maybe try searing the fish and adding ginger or something acidic/spicy?) he also really loaded up our bowls, even giving my friend an extra scoop of salmon because he thought “it didn’t look large enough” even tho he definitely gave the right amount of protein. all the toppings were included in the base price (good value for any amount of scoops) including avocado and imitation crab which usually costs extra at other places.

we had such a nice experience thanks to the server and the food was delicious- this is our new go to! thanks so much and wish all the best to this place“

“All employees are great. From manager and Assistant manager ( Cristina) and the teams always give the best service, polite, helpful recommending the food and friendly to every customer. I've been a customer for 30 years. Finally I find this location is the best service.“

“Fast service. Fresh Vegetables & delicious foods. Grilled & BBQ Kobe & Pork are to die for. Egg rolls are tops.“

“Great JAPANESE Tonkatsu served with shredded cabbage salad just like in Japan“

“First time visiting Hakumaru Sushi in 4S Ranch and I was really impressed! Although the restaurant is small, it feels spacious. The vibe is decidedly classy with rich dark hues, yet well lit. Service could not have been more professional, friendly, and accommodating. I ordered the Chicken Yakitori Bowl and it was excellent. Chunks of tender, tasty chicken thigh grilled with tare, green onion, cabbage and bell pepper, served over white rice. I also appreciated their use of stemless wine glasses. Highly recommended.“

“I’ve been here a few times before, and this place always satisfies my cravings for good Mexican food. 🌯🔥 It never disappoints! This time I decided to order online and just swing by for pickup, and the whole process was super quick and easy. 🙌
I went with the Hot Cheetos Burrito — packed with carne asada, crunchy Hot Cheetos, cheese, guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream. It was bold, flavorful, and definitely a fun twist on a classic burrito! 😋 I also ordered 6 rolled tacos topped with guacamole, lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes — crispy and delicious. Plus, we got a traditional carne asada burrito with guacamole and salsa fresca, which was solid and satisfying as always. 🌮✨
Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. Pickup was smooth, and I appreciated that they already included salsa in the bag — such a nice touch! 🌶️ Overall, a great experience again, and I’ll definitely be back when the Mexican food cravings hit! 💛“

“Great local Thai food. I wish I tried this restaurant sooner. I didn’t even know it existed in this center for 3 years. Lunch specials are well priced and fulfilling.
The veg soup, spring rolls and gyoza were so fresh. Spicy noodles excellent. I like spicy food and the 5 was pretty spicy. They go 1-10, so I would probably do a 3 or 4 next time with extra spice on the side if needed.
Great for a quick bite before picking up the kids.“

“La Casitas Grill and seafood went above and beyond to support a local fundraiser the rice,beans, and fajitas were delicious. We can't thank you enough for not just feeding the community but being part of it. Great food served by wonder people. Thank you again and again.“

“Great service!! Food was great!“

“The server was the only one working but she got our order out fast and was so nice. The food was absolutely delicious.“

“I've found most asian places in convoy to not be worth the hype, but this place is certainly an exception. The food here is very good and flavorful. It stands out from the many other korean restaurants in the area. Far and away our favorite place for sit-down korean food in San Diego.“

“AMAZING FOOD and remind me of HOME❤️“

“Oh my gosh! I FINALLY went here and was not disappointed... I only had both types of dal and a mango lassi ...all were REALLY wonderful and VERY fresh tasting. I will be back!“

“Big crab legs, big oysters + military discount.“

“The Best Ever Chinese Restaurant I Have Ever Been To. My Tita's Loved It So Mucho!!!! 5 star Rating“

“Amazing service, staff& sea food“

“When I drove past this restaurant, I knew it was going to deliver that quintessential New York style Chinese cuisine. I finally got to try it and it did not disappoint! I went in for lunch and got the Kung Pao Beef with added broccoli (+3) , and hot jasmine tea. Everything tasted delicious and our server was a polite gentlemen. I would definitely come back and try their other meals.“

“I had a wonderful dinner here! It was a very hard and stressful week, and so the staffs hospitality and helpfulness was heavenly compared to the bs I've been going through. The kindess and warmth I felt eating the food, getting service and overall vibe is so genuine...I WILL be coming back. 💖“

“Love their classic shrimp burritos and , of course , their fish tacos not to mention the great company !!“

“Came here recently with a large group and was very impressed. All the food was delicious and came out very quickly. Excellent dim sum options and dinner dishes. Will come again when I visit again!“
