14 Best Seafood Restaurants in Tustin

“The food was delicious and our server Ashton was incredible. We will be back soon❣️“

“Service is wonderful. Everyone is friendly. It’s like going to my Obason’s to have dinner. Everything about this place is authentically Okinawan. Oishī“

“From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the host Chris and he was very kind! I asked if I could get a boil to go and he gladly said yes!

Then he offered me to dine-in since there wasn’t a wait. So I figured. “Why not?” I might as well. Then he asked if this was my first time at a shrimp boil. I told him this was my second one. He let me know that the menu is brought up by a QR code and he showed me the other two menus that consisted of cocktail drinks and their new easy peeled shrimps

Avyn ended up being my waiter and he was very sweet and knowledgeable and he explained to me the menu and how the shrimp comes out and how to build a boil. I could either choose the regular shrimp or their new shrimp for a little bit more. I decided to go with their regular shrimp since it was less expensive and I had never been here before.

There was also a girl named Cassidy that helped me put my bib on and I thought that that was a really nice hospitality touch! Thank you.

I ordered my boil with Shrimp, sausage, potatoes and hard boiled eggs.

I ended up stopping at the bathroom and by the time I came out my boil was ready

I was really impressed that almost every employee that walked by would ask me I needed anything and if everything was okay. That’s some really good Customer Service and attention to their patrons.

The boil itself?

The sausage was really juicy and moist and seasoned. 5/5. The potatoes and eggs tasted REALLY GOOD dipped in the juice. 5/5

Now, I didn’t realize that the shrimp was a FULL SHRIMP lol that’s probably why they came up with their NEW EASY PEEL SHRIMP which is a good idea! But this regular shrimp is also good in the juice! 5/5. I do wish it was a bit more flavoring but it was still good and I’m grateful for it.

It had been so long since I’ve had a shrimp boil and I’m grateful for the memories and the chance to try it again.

Thank you The Boiling Crab and all of the kind workers and Avyn for being so on top of his game and attentive to me and his other tables and for the unexpected refill on water and for helping me with my to-go bag and gloves!

I’ll be back again soon!“

“amazing atmosphere and food was absolutely delicious!!!“

“we are from Alaska so we maybe fresh fish snobs... but this was absolutely delish, fast, and priced great. highly recommend so glad we stumbled upon ot!“

“Prices are great, especially on Taco Tuesdays, and the food we usually get—fish and shrimp tacos, horchata or Jamaica, and fried ice cream—is pretty good! The fish tacos come with a nice white sauce, too. I forgot to add that the amount in your taco for the price cannot be beat in this area.

Parking is in a busy and very tight strip mall, and can be difficult to find when it's busy, and the restaurant gets pretty crowded. The doors also open (both ways) very close to the register, which can make the entrance difficult to navigate with small children. I'd try to pull up close & leave kids in car for take out orders.

They do have outdoor seating, which is nice for good-weather days, but the tables aren't consistently cleaned and the seating is pretty basic. One time my son wanted to eat there rather than wait, and the back tables were littered with food & beer cans from a group that had already left. We waited a few mins & were able to find another table that I wiped down myself, but the next group had to find staff and wait for them to clear the beer cans.

I think having one additional staff member during the busiest times could make a difference. The employees look a bit overwhelmed with busy rush or when crowded, and they only have one register. Someone helping with tables and orders could really improve the experience.

Overall, it's a small, popular spot with decent food at a good price. Especially on Tuesdays. If you're planning to eat there, I recommend ordering ahead and going at a less busy time. I would happily add another star if the outdoor seating were kept cleaner and they found some matching chairs or were a little better maintained.

But for takeout or judging just on food alone, it is worth it.“

“it was a cool place to chill...“

“Best garlic shrimp. �� I'd like to say other things on the menu are great too, but this garlic shrimp is too amazing that I've never ordered anything else. So far I've ordered it 3 times in the past month. AND La Michoacana is right next door. It doesn't get any better then that!“

“Went to the food hall for another restaurant, but it was closed. Staff at Fonda Moderna waved us over and wow am I glad they did. Very friendly and helped us decide what to get. Tacos were amazing. First time I have ever had a lobster taco, fantastic. The Birria was also excellent. Great food and great service, will absolutely go there again.“

“Amazing menu, excellent atmosphere. We truly enjoy meeting here for our lunch gatherings!“

“Baja Fish Tacos in Tustin is legit
Food is always on point. Fresh, flavorful, and hits every time. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or pulling up with the crew, this spot doesn’t miss. Definitely one of those go-to spots when you want something solid and consistent.
Highly recommend if you’re in the area.“

“So Good and the bowls were filling. I will definitely come again!“

“The food is delicious atmosphere great and cocktails.“

“Was great. Lots of fresh veggies and side dishes that keep it interesting. As with all meals now price was a little high for 1 person meals at around 30.00 after taxes but was no small meal. Honestly one meal is enough to take home enough for a second meal so with that im ok with the price. Waitress was nice, even brought me a slice of watermelon after my meal as if I wasnt already stuffed. Lol. Definitely recommend. Good quality real food is hard to find in America these days. Was a feast .“
