Restaurants in Seal Beach

“I guarantee that you will LUV whatever you choose off the wide variety menu!!! It's all awesomely delicious!!!”

“These fish tacos shot straight into the top three I’ve ever had. They’re made with Ono (also called Wahoo) — a fish I had never tried before. It’s mild, slightly sweet, and just perfect in tacos. The tortilla was thin but firm, the kind that doesn’t fall apart but still tastes fresh. On top came a crunchy, flavorful salad and a green salsa that was simply amazing — bright, tangy, and the kind of sauce you’d want to put on everything. Honestly, every bite was a knockout.

When I walked in, Shawn immediately recommended the Ono, and I’m so glad I trusted him. Thanks, buddy — you nailed it with that suggestion. And Erika’s service was just as memorable: super friendly, attentive, and welcoming.

The whole experience — the food, the service, the vibe — was fantastic. These tacos weren’t just good, they stood out in a big way. No question, I’ll be back soon to see what else is on the menu. If the tacos are this good, the rest is going to be a treat.”

“I don't know the man's name who worked there the older Asian man but he was incredibly nice and polite. He made my experience worth going there. What a friendly gentleman I hope the owner reads this and blesses him with a bonus or something. I will be going back and I hope he's working”

“Awesome place to visit for the entire family . Great service , food , and price . Also , super kid friendly and they accommodate dietary restrictions as well !”

“I used to come here as often as possible when I lived here. Now that I moved out of state, A Slice of New York Pizza is always at the top of the list of food I MUST have while I’m visiting. As someone who grew up in the NYC area, you’ve got my stamp of approval!”

“The seafood pasta was excellent and the service is always fantastic.”

“My husband and I went to Patty's Place for our anniversary. We were thinking it was just your basic steak house. We were wrong. Nothing about Patty's is basic.I was shocked when we walked in. It has just enough elegance to enhance a cozy, and comfortable experience. The service was excellent and very friendly. Needless to say, the food was magnificent. I've never had side dishes be as delicious as the main meal. The potatoes and veggies were out of this world. ~ I can honestly say, " it was the best food I've ever eaten." This restaurant gets a 10 in my book.”

“The best sushi experience!”

“We were heading home this morning from our trip to Seal Beach and I googled a breakfast place near us. We found the Sunny Side Cafe. It was cute, very clean and very inviting. For sure next time we are in Seal Beach we will drop in”

“What is Sushi hama based upon a recommendation from a friend. I ordered the omakase dish and it had a selection of sushi which we're all fresh and delicious.

My combination also came with some fried tempera, and that was delicious as well.

Overall, very pleasant dining experience.And I would highly recommend it.”

“Just stopped in for a late dinner at this location. Food was fast and delicious and the staff was very friendly and attentive. Would definitely eat here again. It is always so nice to have such great service in a fast casual restaurant.”

“Awesome Sushi rolls and the best sashimi!! Always happy to see you and always smiling!”

“Excellent place. Great food. Great value.”

“Da Bomb Meatball Sub. Delicious. Bring cash !!!!!!”

“What a gem! BlackBoard Bistro has that cozy, neighborhood charm with a menu full of comforting classics. The pumpkin pancakes were fluffy and perfectly spiced (and yes, that pat of butter melted into absolute happiness). The breakfast burrito? Generous, hearty, and exactly what you’d hope for on a late morning when you’re running on coffee fumes.

The menu is extensive—everything from fresh salads to indulgent burgers—and you can tell they make things from scratch. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere has a casual, cheerful vibe.

Whether you’re craving breakfast all day or a good sandwich, this spot checks all the boxes. Highly recommend for a laid‑back brunch or lunch!”

“been great every time I've been there.”

“I'm staying at the Hampton in right next to this restaurant so I figured I'd try it for dinner and I am glad I did. I ordered the teriyaki chicken box which came with enough for 2 people for a great price. Will be back before I leave.”

“Best burger in town !!! 🍔”

“My first time here and I was not disappointed. From the service to the food ❤️❤️❤️. My food to start with was so fresh and so well seasoned. The steak perfectly cooked, the fries were the right about of crisp and soft in the middle, and the veggies amazing! All the sauces very delightful. The person who helped us talked with pride once I complimented the food and very well mannered and charismatic. I can't wait to come again.”

“Shrimp Ensenada Tacos are the best there!”

“Great food, nice service. Good happy hour.”

“I was here we come from Nederland 🇳🇱 and it was so nice good food and bartenders”

“Food was more than what I expected. Delicious! Price is affordable. Staff is friendly and attentive. Over all, service was great”

“Shrimp Ensenada Tacos are the best there!”

“Coffee, Frappuccino, Milk Tea, Specialty teas, Hot chocolate, Chai, Matcha, Taro, Smoothies, Sweet or Savory Crepes served up in a smiling family owned atmosphere.

A small storefront close to the beach at the corner of Ocean and Main, my favorite moment was walking in on the previous customer, complementing them in how nice and service oriented they always are.

Walkup. Often strolling with your takeout along main Street. Two narrow tables with six seats in front of Marina Cafe.

Had a banana Nutella crepe and espresso to dine in yummy. Enjoyed it. Solid 4 getting the +1 for quaint little family owned stop in downtown Seal Beach.”

“Lobster enchiladas are as good as all the hype about them has been especially the rich sauce that is served over them, a must try! A very cozy restaurant and a hot local spot!”

“Great atmosphere and great service. The Shuffle Board Table is really fun to challenge your friends.”

“Excellent service friendly smiles and great prices!!! Food was so fresh and zesty!!! Recommend 💯!!!”

“I came here with high intensions that the food wouldn't be to my satisfactory but to my surprise,,, thier Cheesesteaks are top notch! My new favorite spot in Socal for Cheeststeaks!! Definitely recommended!!!”

“Just a simple, unassuming little cafe tucked behind The Ranch financial building off the 405, and the food here is fantastic! Andy, the owner, greets you with a smile and makes great breakfast offerings, soups, salads and probably the best bulgogi sandwich on the planet! I come here often since I love to give deserving mom & pops like this my business.”

“Service was so on point. Changed out order twice after being served due to cheese allergies for my son and they were so nice about it without hesitation. We drive from Downey to seal beach for good mexican food.”

“We called in today early to try catch the football from the minute we sat down we was made to feel so welcome and that was both from biff behind the bar to all the locals that came in 😁 thank you for making our last morning in California so good Sean & Jo”

“Tuesday is 2 for 1 burger day! Love coming here after spending the day at the beach. Food is delicious. 2 Dublin burgers & a chicken sandwich on sourdough bread. I like their Onion Rings, very crispy!”

“It's esp. good during chilly, cold weather. The (okonomiyaki) egg-noodle dish was tasty--would love for them to make it more Japanese style, so good!
Miso ramen was flavorful enough. Tuna on crispy rice YUM.
Poke was OK--maybe ditch the mayo & pool of soy sauce.
Service terrific. Sat 3:45 PM meal.
May Mako Ramen thrive through 2025 & 2026 (brace for it, America).”

“Food is good. My wife just wanted one Enchilada..they made it for her. Only complaint for us was they wedge open the two entrance doors..but it was cold that day..the ocean breeze was too cold for us. It was Memorial Day afternoon. No crowds in the parking lot. Easy to park and eat comfortably.”

“The coffee is definitely strong. Latte as well! And both were really good drinks! Small spot but it’s cozy and best that way. I would not be comfortable to study in the space but pick up a drink and walk the Main Street would feel better. Recommend def!..and we will visit again when we go through for sure.”

“The pizza and meatball sandwiches are so good!”

“I want to compliment Jasmine at this California Pizza Kitchen for her excellent service today. I was a part of a group of seven, and all of us were very pleased with her friendly, helpful service. She went out of her way to make our visit special! By the way, we all had the “Lunch Duo,” and our food was delicious!😊”

“Drove all the way from El Segundo for my favorite ice cream”

“The food is pretty much the same. It's all decent. They definitely ruin meat dishes with way too many vegetables. So basically, almost a vegan Chinese fast food.”

“Best Juice in a Seal. Highly recommend the Beno. Staff is so friendly and they always remember your regular order. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Great placed for eat good food!”

“The hubs had the kabob platter and loved it. I had the vegetarian platter and while most of it was very good the falaffel however had the flavor of taco meat which was a bit off-putting so next time I’ll try something different.”

“Love working in this space. Always friendly people around, super clean, and overall just a great atmosphere to work in. Doesn't hurt that the owners are some of the nicest people in town.”

“Pizza Hut is one of my favorite chain pizzas. The deal for an individual pizza, three breadsticks, and large drink for $8 is great! This location has a drive thru and is connected to a Taco Bell (you can order both from drive thru)”

“I've been visiting this Starbucks regularly and it's easily one of the best in the area. What sets it apart is the exceptional service—there's rarely a line, and the staff, especially Felicia, are incredibly welcoming and efficient. Felicia greets me with a smile and goes above and beyond in our interactions, making each visit special. All the staff members remember both my name and my usual order, which is a nice personal touch. I'm a fan of the Blonde Roast, and thankfully, this location consistently has it in stock, unlike others nearby. If you're looking for a quick, friendly, and consistent coffee experience, this is the place to go.”

“The best place to go on a hot day! Great variety of soft serve yogurt 🍦”

“Great service and good food good prices. Our server Sydney was great”

“Food that tastes like Mama’s. On a good day. Be ready for cheese 🧀 😉 !”

“Truly the most disgusting linguine and clams I’ve ever had. The clams and pasta were over cooked. On top of it all your menu listed every ingredient except the cream. I hate any dairy in my seafood. As do ALL. Italians. Most dissatisfied and disappointed. What do you expect from a seafood joint named “Walt’s”. Never again.”

“This place is really wonderful. Inviting, relaxing, and just delightful. The staff are especially wonderful. They make a mean cubano iced latte! My son loves this place!”

“El lugar está muy bonito. La atención es muy buena y la hamburguesa super recomendada!!!!!”

“The day of my visit was St. Patty's day so we were there to drink. We had several cold Guinness. The service was top notch even though the place was packed. Didn't have any food so, I'll try something on my next visit.”

“We have them deliver at least once a week! The lemon garlic chicken is delicious!!!”

“Try to get something new every time and always always delicious and no regrets”

“Horrible customer service! We have been wanting to try it and were in the area today… cashier was friendly and polite, but when we got home we were given the wrong order. They handed us our bag, we asked if it was the bento box, and were told it was, but it wasn’t. Honest mistake. I called to see if I could come back tomorrow to get it replaced, at first the cashier said yes, just give him my name. The manager got on the phone, told me it was my fault and she had already lost too much money on it and that she wasn’t going to make me another. She kept arguing then hung up on me 😡. Sadly, we will never go back.”

“Great food and great service”

“Had lunch here yesterday. Cute place and pretty popular with the locals, and I’ve been here a number of times but usually for dinner. This is also one of the few restaurants in the area that stays open on holidays, which is always a plus. They serve the same menu for both lunch and dinner. We came in around 1 PM and it wasn’t too crowded. I wasn’t super hungry, so I just went with their Thai Iced Tea and Papaya Salad. My friends ordered the Pad See Ew, Fresh Spring Rolls, and Khao Soi. Everything came out great as expected. Super flavorful with generous portions. We ended up boxing most of it. Service was fast and easy, as always.”

“Great experience here, the crispy orange chicken was delicious, the soup, salad and egg roll was good too. The only issue I had was getting a drink refill, I asked for a refill and didn’t receive one, I had to forgo finishing my meal because I didn’t have a drink.”

“Great service! Wry friendly and experienced bartender.”

“Love this place 😍😍😍”

“☕️🥪🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩. Excellent job and friendly .”

“I love that Del Taco has started offering the vegan Beyond Taco and Burritos! I haven’t eaten at a Del Taco (or any fast food restaurant) for ages! And they taste great! So happy I am able eat compassionately and healthier even when I’m short on time or just want a quick bite.”

“Good times fun place to gang with friends and family live bands most nites.”

“We love this place. 🫖🤍 Perfect ambiance. . love the food. . nice people . . great service. We love the tea of course! Good for any special occasion. Thank you! 🤍💫 #BridalTea 🫖🤍”

“The food was consistently great. But what cuts this Habit Grill above the rest is the pleasant outdoor dining area. It wasn’t crowded so my son and I spent a while just talking after we ate. Great spot - not only would I recommend but I’ll be back myself for sure.”

“friendly service, clean bathroom”
