50 Best Seafood Restaurants near San Carlos

“muy rica comida! y los ceviches son delicious 😋“

“Defintely Poke'd Out after the lunch. Ordering method is broken down nicely and listed down well in the menu. It goes like Base + Poke + Mix-in + Sauce + Add-ons. I have chosen the medium sized bowl where I got 4 scoops of poke instead of mentioned 3, all the sizes get additional scoop as complementary. Chose couple of miso shrimp and spicy crab(it was spicy indeed) scoops. Tofu medley was not that great, tough to satisfy vegetarians or vegans. I felt the quantity was overwhelming for one person, small would be more than enough. Priced around $20 for the medium, it's on the expensive side, but the diverse selections make it recommendable. Note that it’s only a to-go restaurant.“

“FAMILY OWNED & DELICIOUS! It’s made to order and you get a lot of food!! They host you like you’re in their own home. Which is rare and deserves more than 5 stars. The BBQ chicken is perfectly cooked over veggies and rice. I regretted not ordering double Mac salads because it was the first thing to go. Thank you guys, see you next week!“

“Best Thai place i have been too! Great food and even better owners!!“

“Excellent reunion celebration!! Reserved for Saturday lunch with birthday note. Great service with manager even checking in, and received an unexpected complimentary super candle on baklava, with staff singing Happy Birthday. Free parking lots behind Laurel St.“

“Great food, drinks and service!“

“Had a great experience here! The calamari was crispy and delicious, the pasta was full of flavor, and the dessert was the perfect way to finish the meal. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented. A special thank you to Mr. G
for his warm hospitality and attentive service. He made us feel truly welcome. I’ll definitely be back!“

“As a Vietnamese person, I can say the pho here tastes very authentic. The broth is flavorful, the ingredients are fresh, and the portions are generous. Friendly service and great value. Definitely one of the better pho spots in the area! 🇻🇳🍜“

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

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

“Was greeted & seated promptly. Welcomed by Manager Hung. Brittany was our waitress & we received the 20th Anniversary Sacks. Happy Anniversary.“

“Our take-out fish and chips were disappointing. Chips were undercooked and not crisp. The fish under the brown hard crust was OK but the whole presentation was unlike any light crispy dish our family has ever had as fish and chips. Not a repeat meal for us.“

“I recommend Tacos Y MARISCOS El GORDO because of their yummy delicious SHRIMP tacos are my favorite plus I’ve had their Quesadilla and Mexican style shrimp cocktail… I like the fact that their children whom are teenagers work part time whom are polite and friendly like their parents“

“Great restaurant“

“La sopa súper deliciosa, sin embargo no ofrecen bebidas al momento de tomar la orden. Aunque si hay bebidas gaseosas y demás no nos ofrecieron nada de eso, las raciones son algo pequeñas.“

“Love the dry aged porterhouse, juicy and delicious. The service was phenomenal and of course the new location.“

“Some of the best hot pot I have had and the customer service was great“

“Food ambiance service location“

“We had an absolutely lovely experience here! Came for my boyfriend’s birthday, everyone was friendly and attentive. Fantastic high end ambience. The food was almost too beautiful to eat and every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our entrees. One of our guests said it was the best spaghetti he had ever had! The mushroom risotto was perfection. I had the Chilean sea bass and WOW! The salmon was also amazing. The other two guests had roasted chicken and hangar steak… I didn’t get to try them but they looked amazing and everyone cleaned their plate even though we were full lol! We will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!! 5 stars ⭐️“

“Fish and chips are awesome. Shrimp skewer is delicious. Good value for the price.“

Mind-blowing! 🤯 Whether it's for the ambiance, the flavors, or the amazing staff, Ettan's a must-visit. Left with a full belly and even fuller heart. ❤️ Can't wait to go back! #EttanMagic #FoodieDream #BestDinnerEver“

“muy rico todo completamente familiar puede divertirse y se siente como en su casa muy rico todo muy buena atencion recomendadisimo“

“La comida es super deliciosa 👌 y el servicio que ofrecen es excelente“

“If you're in the area or at Hillsdale mall, forget about the mall found and come here instead! Chicken wings crispy and not oily, the green garlic sauce with bread is excellent. And the seafood stew is light but flavorful. A local gem indeed“

“Still the best kept secret in San Mateo. I’m moving tomorrow and this food is what I’m going to miss the most. The portions are generous, the price is affordable, the service can’t be beat. Cash only. Small parking lot. Family owned and operated. The carne asada is delicious! Actually I haven’t had a bad meal here. Take away is available. You won't be disappointed . Skip the la cumbre and pancho villa. Come get the best!“

“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!“

“La comida que preparan es buena, me encantó la quesadilla de camarón el servicio que te dan esta bien y volveré para probar más cosas. Lo recomiendo“

“Rico todo , buen servicio“

“Me encanto les pedí un pastelito para mi niño y ellos le cantaron las mañanitas .no lo esperaba me gustó mucho!!!“

“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!!“

“Great food. Fantastic value. Don’t tell people, it’s already too popular 😃“

“This is surely one of the finest place in the region. Whenever I come to this place I am absolutely satisfied. They keep their very high level service and the highest level of dishes they give. You always win with this place. Highly recommended.“

“Amazing food, excellent service, family owned and run local restaurant that is consistently fresh and delicious with huge portions! Love this place!“

“Hamburgers are beyond delicious.“

“Ok. If you're looking for fine dining, iDumplings is not for you, full stop. BUT if you're looking for a hole in a wall, great quality food, friendly staff, and located at downtown Redwood City, this place is for you. I need to come here more often. It's so yummy, they make the wrappers from scratch for the dumplings, the dishes are not overly greasy (which I like ALOT), and it's affordable. Give me a place like this any day. Thanks iDumplings!“

“food place for family and hang out“

“We love Burmese food. For years, if we wanted Burmese food, we would have to drive at least 30-40 min to SF or South Bay, so having Burma Spice in our neighborhood is a dream come true!

Burma Spice hosted our daughter's high school graduation luncheon on May 23rd and we couldn't have been happier! We had about 30 guests in a separate area in the back of the restaurant. Kham and Raymond were so nice and helpful in planning the menu for our gathering.

Everything was served family style. We ordered
- Tea Leaf Salad- the perfect ratio of fermented tea leaves and ingrediants.
- Samosas- light, crispy, and so flavorful
- Nan Gyi Thoke- the noodles were perfectly cooked, not mushy, and the curry was creamy and delightful.
- Basil Lemongrass Chicken- fresh basil, and lemongrass really made this dish a popular topic.
- Pumpkin Veggie- Nice ratio of pumpkin and other veggies, very hearty.
- Kebat Lamb- savory, packed full of rich spices, the onions add so much texture and flavor as well.
- Jasmine Rice

Plus plenty of yummy tropical cocktails for the adults.

They set up a little table for the cake, and some graduation items that we brought. They really went out of their way to make our celebration comfortable.

Everything was in generous portions, fresh and expertly prepared. My guests raved about the food and service. Some of my guests had never tried Burmese food before and now in their meal rotation.

We didn't realize that we had stretched into their rest period between lunch and dinner because they were so gracious about not rushing us.

I highly recommend Burma Spice in Redwood City for any meal or occasion. The restaurant is such a gem in our neighborhood and the service is friendly.“

“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.“

“The food is tasty overall, Ive been here a few times. The al pastor burrito has good flavor and the good texture. The lengua was also good, but has less flavor compared to the Al pastor or chile Verde. The torta is a very good size for the price. I appreciate that they have a salsa bar, but it's a bummer that chips cost extra. We often get take out, but the location is small and atmosphere is clean. There's a self service kiosk to order as well, which can be convenient when there is a long line or if you're feeling a little anti-social.“

“buenísimo 👍lo recomiendo 💯💯💯“

“conozco a los dueños de Estampas desde hace muchos años y la calidad de la Comida es extraordinaria pero más que eso la calidad de persona que es el dueño es A1 no solo lo digo yo lo confirman los años que se mantiene en el Top de los restaurantes peruanos de esa área 10 de 10“

“Simply Amazing! Love this place!!“

“Will be back! Great food 😋😋😋“

“Wonderful neighborhood restaurant.“

“太棒了，肉品沒吃多少，倒是吃了好幾磅的櫻桃🍒“

“We had such a wonderful experience hosting our wedding reception at British Bankers Club! Nina and the events team were incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and accommodating throughout the planning process. They worked with us to make our ideas come together and were always so helpful whenever we had questions.

On the day of the reception, the entire service team was warm, attentive, and professional. Everything went smoothly, and our guests had a wonderful time. We truly appreciated the care and attention everyone put into making our celebration so special.

A huge thank you to Nina and the entire team for helping make our wedding reception such a beautiful and memorable evening. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend British Bankers Club for special events!“

“Came here for dinner and ordered the special for two. We were seated right away, which is always a great start. The service stood out—our hostess was incredibly friendly and attentive, checking in on us throughout the meal.

Food came out quickly. The soup wasn’t quite my personal style, but the entrees more than made up for it—everything tasted fresh, well-cooked, and flavorful, and the meat was especially tender.

Overall, a really pleasant experience with warm service and solid dishes. Would definitely come back!“
