50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Poway

“We were a party of five at your Le Mesa location on 3/22/26 and I believe our server's name was Diana. Our experience was absolutely fantastic! The food was superb, the facility was spotless and every member of the staff that interacted with was professional, helpful and friendly. Diana was fantastic! She has the perfect balance of friendly efficiency, light humor to match our personalities and spot on timing to check in with us. We can't wait to visit again! Thank you.“

“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“

“Hawaiian BBQ in Poway? I always wanted to try it, but was a little skeptical of location. This Groupon gave us the courage to try it and boy were we surprised by the wonderful seasoning of the food and generous portions. Ono kine grindz! Broke da mouf! 5 BIG SHAKAS for Ipo Hawaiian BBQ.“

“Great food! Highly recommend!“

“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“

“Delicious and affordable happy hour specials! Oysters for $1.50 a piece and a wide range of small plates averaging around $7, including calamari, fried oysters, nachos, soup plus more. Wine, beer and sake available as specials.

Fast casual type atmosphere.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“Very delicious my new favorite Mexican food“

“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.“

“Awesome. Food on par with the OG Japan locations. Not as techy though. I would love to see ordering kiosks at the tables and counter checkout or at least portable POS devices like Japan. The food was awesome and the small things are just nice to have recommendations.“

“Good portion and fresh food. I think their Pokeland sauce changed because it used to be better. Still a great place.“

“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👏“

“We’ve been so happy with each dinning experience we’ve had at Tsunami! The service is excellent and their food extraordinary! The sushi is fresh and they have their own unique creations as well as the classics. Their tempura is a delight and the prawns are crazy good! If you’re a sushi fan, this is a must go!!!“

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

“We have been coming to this restaurant for a few years now, and our experience has been great every single time. The food is delicious, and the service is excellent; everyone is very friendly, and the food comes out quickly when they are not busy, the restaurant is clean, It is one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego.“

“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.“

“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.“

“First time here I came to San Diego to sell some car parts. Lol. I was already in the parking lot looking for a place to eat with the family. I saw this taco shop and it was packed and you know about packed restaurants it usually a good place to eat. I havd the carnitas tacos the number 12 and kids got the same and wifey got the menudo and all we have to say about his place "IS IT WAS THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD I HAVE HAD IN A LONG TIME!!!!!!" I I give this place 5*'s I live in Temecula and I will be back. It is well worth the 1 hour drive. Thanks for the food!!!“

“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.“

“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❤️“

“ก๋วยเตี๋ยวเรืออร่อย พนักงานน่ารัก“

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.“
