Restaurants in Seal Beach

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

“OMG… this is my first time in Seal Beach… when I arrived, I just wanted to go get some quick food. Those bowls are amazing! So delicious! It is a mix of Japanese and Hawaiian food, and it is absolutely delicious!”

“The best sushi experience!”

“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.”

“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”

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

“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!”

“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”

“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.”

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

“Shrimp Ensenada Tacos are the best there!”

“porque te atiende bien y porque esta bien deciosa la amburgueza”

“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!”

“Was visiting California for the weekend and thought I would stop by this nest little cafe. I order the Vietnamese Hot coffee which was absolutely delicious.

“The pizza and meatball sandwiches are so good!”

“Best burger in town !!! 🍔”

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

“My Food was very good and the waitress was very nice. Prices were fair. My wife had the salmon bento. She said the fish taste wasn't there..said it was like eating water..no taste.”

“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.”

“I got an iced coffee and an acai bowl both were simple but really good.
The cafe has a cozy, cute vibe and feels super chill after a walk by the beach.
Such a nice local spot with a warm, friendly atmosphere.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Great placed for eat good food!”

“Best Dole Whip on the Mainland! Delicious! 💯😁🍍🍧”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!😊”

“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.”

“View of the ocean if you sit at the window. My favs are wings, grilled chicken melt, veggie burger, and fish & chips (Fridays only),

Vegetarian options: Veggie burger not sure what else.”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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)”

“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.”

“PERFECT! JESUS helped my family today! This is my favorite location because of World Class Customer Service & High Quality food! JESUS makes a difference! He cares about his customers! JESUS = GOLD STANDARD the best!”

“Love this place 😍😍😍”

“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.”

“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 🧀 😉 !”

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

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

“Absolutely blown away by my recent visit to the Subway in Seal Beach! The store just got a brand-new paint job, and it looks incredible—fresh, modern, and super inviting. You can really feel the pride in the space the moment you walk in.

On top of the great new look, the customer service was top-notch. The team was friendly, fast, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect. My sandwich was made just the way I like it, and the staff even took the time to offer suggestions and make sure I was happy with my meal.

It’s clear this location is raising the bar. Clean, stylish, and run by a team that truly gets what great service is all about. Seal Beach just got a major upgrade—can’t wait to come back!”

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

“Thai On Main is Seal Beach in a nutshell—casual, friendly, and full of flavor. The Spring rolls, Glass noodle salad and Three Curries plate is a must. Happy hour apps are a steal, and the vibe is perfect whether you’re rolling in sandy from the pier or dressed up for date night. Busy on weekends, but always worth it.”

“Great food and great service”

“friendly service, clean bathroom”

“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.”
