50 Best Seafood Restaurants near San Ramon

“Before you come here, make sure to call in first to get a reservation a few hours in advance. Despite that requirement, reservations are usually not hard to snag, and the place is not packed. Calm and clean atmosphere.

Food is plenty good, and doesn't take forever to come out: the portions are not massive and the food is fresh and well-made. Most of the drinks are alcahol, but they do have good sparkling water.

Hostess (Or more like manager?) was very kind over the phone as I called like 3X to reschedule.“

“At the time of making my reservation didn't show a special Valentines menu. Good selection of food. Was very loud due to small area and cramped tables. I feel that prices were overrated because of Valentines day. I will good to try it again for a date night.“

“The chicken is great. A fantastic grab for on the go eating. Well seasoned and cooked right. Reasonably priced as well.

Service and atmosphere? Well, it's a gas station.. So set your expectations accordingly.

But the food is good.“

“Tonight we our first time dining at LB Steak. We were celebrating both me and my husband’s birthdays. The food was quick and delicious but the attention to detail and service by Nancy was incredible! Everything and everyone left a wonderful impression on us and made our evening super special. Thank you LB Steaks and Nancy!“

“Everything on the menu is great. Friendly staff, they feel like family when you're there. Been here dozen times and consistently amazed. I didn't like Hot and Sour soup before I tried it here. I always make sure to get it when I'm here, as I try it at other places and nothing compares. Other favorites are honey walnut shrimp, chow main (combo but really any choice is good choice), and beef with black pepper sauce. My Grandpa would always get sweet sour fish fillet, which was tasty but not my first choice. Try this place next time you head out in search of a great Chinese Restaurant. I wish I could make it out there more often, so if you're nearby, you're in luck!“

“There are a few poke places in the SRV, but of the four I’ve tried... THIS is the one I return to regularly! Great selection, service, taste. And lots of the staff are OAKLAND A’s fans!“

“Their menu has so much variety. There’s something for every seafood lover. I tried their new items and everything was so flavorful. I would definitely go back. The customer service was excellent. I felt welcomed as soon as I arrived. They accommodated changes to our seating arrangements without attitude. Just a wonderful experience overall.“

“A great stop, especially during happy hour! Service was quick, friendly and excellent! Patio dining on a nice day adds to the downtown experience. Food was flavorful and drinks were delicious too! Great spot for a date night or special occasion with friends and family.“

“No need to go to Bodega Bay or Embarcadero SF, so glad this opened to satisfy my seafood fix. Friendly staff, spacious place, reasonable price, and the seafood selection big and quality is as good as any in the overated overpriced touristy seafront restaurants. So glad this opened. In the picture is my order of calamari, 12 oz chunky clam chowder, 12 oz chunky cioppino, and the spacial menu cheesy crab bread. Good portions, with still to take home, and very good quality. Will come back here again with friends and family for sure.“

“If you’re looking for amazing Chinese food, Mayflower is the place to go. The quality of the food is consistently outstanding, and the portions are generous—definitely great value for the price.

The highlight for me is the Peking duck. It’s perfectly prepared, with crispy skin, tender meat, and all the traditional accompaniments. Easily one of the best I’ve had anywhere.

Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and served hot. The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere made the dining experience even better. The bus boy named Christian went out of his way to keep us our table clean and refilling our drinks.

Highly recommend Mayflower for anyone craving delicious, authentic Chinese dishes!“

“We went to this place for the first time, not expecting much. It just looks likes a generic place in a shopping strip from the outside. When we entered, we immediately saw how clean it was and how friendly everyone was there. They were very attentive throughout the course of our meal as well! They have a little robot that brings your food out to you but the server is right there ready to get the food off of the robot waiter. The food was absolutely divine! We got the fish and a shrimp dinner instead of the combination plates. The salads were great as well! Overall, our experience was extremely satisfactory and I would recommend this place to anyone. It was a delightful surprise!“

“I had a takeout pizza from this restaurant last night first of all the customer service was absolutely excellent. The person that answered the phone had a really pleasant customer focused manner , nothing was too much trouble and he was so polite. The pizza was absolutely amazing , I hate anything that is too heavy and it was so light and lovely , the ingredients tasted extremely fresh , I would 100% recommend this place based upon my first experience and I will be back thanks so much 🥰“

“Great first time experience“

“The gym is great. Pretty much everything you could ask for. Giant tennis area, 2 basketball courts, lots of cardiov machines, yoga studios with lots of classes, I usually don't have to wait for anything in the weight room. The big drawback is the cost. Very expensive membership. I wouldn't be going here if I had to pay for cost of membership.“

“My friend was visiting from Washington. First time for both of us. The waitress was wonderful, explained everything. We had the 3 item bag. oh so good !!! mild sauce was just perfect. The shrimp and mussels were cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back with the family. 🦐💕“

“A great place for a crab/seafood boil with a paper tabletop, plastic bibs, and plastic gloves included. The seafood came in big plastic bags swimming in a steamy mix of sauce and spices. They were placed on the table and we all just dug in to our heart's content.

Note that there are other items on the menu including things like fried shrimp and french fries and other fried seafood.

The restaurant itself is no-frills with simple tables and chairs in the main room. You go for the food not to be seen.

If you like seafood boils it's a fun experience with the great seafood.“

“I'm here on vacation every winter. Lulu's is one of our favorite stops and we patronize it on a consistent basis. Unfortunately (for me) last night I deviated from my norm and ordered the London broil. It was over cooked (I requested medium) and I struggled through it. My appetizer was fine and my friends were delighted with their selections. Sometimes things simply don't meet expectations- I'm good and will plan to continue patronizing Lulu's“

“Great service delicious food cozy atmosphere. Awesome Happy Hour 👍👍👍👍👍“

“(Translated by Google) Very good place to eat well the dishes that I have tried are tasty and have a very good variety. They have a lot of food, not just seafood. For example, today I ate a delicious menudo.The prices are good, they are not expensive and the staff is very friendly.(Original)Muy buen lugar para comer bien los platillos que he probado están sabrosos y tienen muy buena variedad. Tienen de mucha comida no solo mariscos. Por ejemplo hoy me comí un rico menudo.Los precios están bien no son caros y el personal es muy amable.“

“Very good food and good customer service, a small wait i even sen j stalin in there.The only down fall was greens had stems WHICH I HATE AND NO JUICE.But food was piping hot,
BANANA PUDDING 1 OUTTA 10 TASTE LIKE WAFFERS VANILLA EXTRACT AND WHIP CREME“

“First time here after reading the rave reviews. I ordered the lunch special to go - it didn't feel like I saved any money but the meal was great. It's available on weekdays only from 12pm to 2pm. They have their own little parking lot and entrance is inside once you turn in from the main street.

Cajun Shrimp Rice Plate Lunch Special ($13.95 + $3.00 for fried rice) - Very well balanced meal! The egg roll and fried was a big plus. They are generous with their shrimp and the sauce is delicious. Would go back to try everything else.“

“Ordered some catering trays of enchiladas for a party. The enchiladas were packaged well in lidded, heavy trays. They were hot so a restaurant worker carried them to my car. They were delicious--especially the mole sauce--and everyone at the party complimented us and wanted to know where we got them.“

“Great atmosphere, serving staff is friendly and on point with ensuring you have what you desire and the food was phenomenal. I had the lamb chops with mint jelly and sautéed spinach. Lamb chop cooked perfectly that it melt in your mouth with tons of flavor. My raspberry lemon drop was a bit on the strong side but when I made mention they remedied it by adding a little more simple syrup … perfect.“

“Best poke place, delicious sauces and fresh fish 👍“

“Fabulous Food, Drinks and Ambiance! Love this place!!! Five Stars!!!“

“Good food nice service nothing but the best“

“Fresh food.You will enjoy it!“

“If you’re craving real Peruvian flavor, this place absolutely delivers 🇵🇪🔥 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The ceviche was espectacular—fresh, perfectly balanced, and full of that authentic citrus kick that takes you straight to the coast of Peru. The pollo al horno was juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right, and the ají de gallina… wow. Creamy, rich, and packed with tradition—pure comfort food at its finest. I’ve tried Peruvian restaurants all over San Jose, Sunnyvale, and Redwood City, and honestly… this is the best I’ve had in the area. The quality, the flavor, the authenticity—it all stands out. Highly recommend if you’re looking for truly authentic Peruvian cuisine. I’ll definitely be coming back 🙌“

“Everything was absolutely amazing!! We’ve passed by this place so many times, I’m sad we didn’t try this place sooner! We have eaten plenty of sushi, and I’m happy to say that everything we ordered at Toyosu was SO delicious. Not pictured was the o toro hamachi, which was definitely my favorite. Now we’ve tried and enjoyed 4/4 of our ordered dishes, we will 100% return.“

“We need a freaking salad bar in Alameda! We used to have 2 sizzlers on the island! Food is great & price!“

“Vanessa’s Bistro is hands down my favorite restaurant in Walnut Creek. I like to get out and try new places but yet I always find myself coming back to VB2 for amazing food, drinks, staff, and atmosphere. It’s my favorite place to take friends that have never tried it. If you want to impress in a casual way it’s perfect for a first date or girls night out too. Try the Claypot Rice Or Prawns with mango and garlic butter noodles! Potstickers Chicken rolls All of it!“

“The Korean fried chicken was delicious. The staff was a big help. They helped me pick out a good bottle of cold sake.“

“I dont like to give small businesses a hard time, the food was amazing the only issue i have is the consistency of their hot and hour soup, ITS EXTREMELY THICK, I've been to house of dumplings and hong Kong city restaurant in the area, this is thr first time encountering soup being served like this. I hope I can either get a refund on the item or an exchange. None the less everything else was great, just wish I didn't pay 11 bucks for this item“

“Best freaking poke spot ever I sometimes drive out thirty minutes just for this place... I LOVE THEIR MARINATED MUSHROOMS SO MUCH. I dreamt about a bowl from here once too... The pricing is great compared to poke spots around my area and they are generous with their portions, not to mention the quality of the food is amazing! Staff is really kind as well :)“

“Amazing food!!!! Waitstaff were friendly and helped me decide what to order. Not my first time there, definitely not my last!!!“

“WOW! Hunan Chef restaurant is remarkable!
I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the wonderful experience I had at this restaurant recently. We were incredibly impressed by the delicious food and the exceptional cleanliness of the establishment. The customer service was very attentive, and I found the prices to be more than fair. The convenient location in the plaza across from Safeway and the ample parking are also great advantages.

It's clear that the restaurant is operating at a very high standard, and it truly shows. YUM I highly recommend this restaurant 10+ stars!“

“Good food, friendly service, fun times. But when your table is done, move your crew along so others can also enjoy it!! We waited extensively even with a reservation. It stresses the staff and the system and prevents the restaurant from serving more patrons!“

“Great food and atmosphere!!“

“This was very delicious and super well priced! $12.50 fed me for two meals! I will definitely be back.“

“What a delight, from the great customer service, to a fantastic Super Burrito. Place was super clean and we both enjoyed our Super Pastor Burritos tonight.“

“Very good food and very nice waitress and waiters👍👍👍“

“The taste is very good, I will go there again next time.“

“I haven't been to a buffet buffet in years, even before Covid. It was nice seeing hot food out in the open again like the good old days. This buffet had a huge variety of different cuisines from sushi, chinese food, crab legs, build your own mala bowl, dim sum, and even cooked to order steaks! Not going to lie, but I was a little hesitant at the thought of eating at a buffet again, but everything was very fresh and the food area was clean. The staff rotated the dishes out frequently and each item was kept nice and hot.

“I love Tin’s Tea Pot! You get this quality food for this price point. I’ve been here a few times and was heartened to see it busier than usual. They totally deserve it!

We ordered their vegetable dumplings, a veggie lo mein dish and their rice soup which when combined with the plant was AMAZING!“

“Very good food, esp. Dim Sum.“

“I enjoyed my Hawaiian BBQ. Customer was Great! The Restaurant very clean including the Restroom! I've been here at least 4 to 3 times a month! Enjoyed it!!!!“

“My long time place for delicious chinese food. The dumplings are good: try the lamb with zuccini and chicken with spinich for a real treat. The dim sum is the best in the Hayward area. Oustanding dishes are: cucumber with garlic and fungus, salt and pepper chicken wings, tender vegetables with filet fish, string beans with chicken, Egg Foo Young (unbeliably great), walnut prawns, won ton soup, knife cut chow mein with mixed meat and shrimp. All portions are large and properly packaged. I only do delivery orders with BEYOND MENU who favors local businesses so I have no rating for servive or atmosphere. This place is a find!“

“I recently visited Hana Japan with my family, and we had a blast! From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was so welcoming. Our chef was super entertaining, showcasing impressive skills while cooking everything to perfection. I loved how interactive the whole experience felt, and the flavors were incredibly vibrant! This is more than just a meal; it's what a Japanese steak house should be. Definitely coming back!“
