50 Best Seafood Restaurants near East Brunswick

“Kim is an excellent bartender friendly , Kind and knowledgeable. She made the most amazing smoked Old Fashion with Woodford Reserve. Our waiter Christian was so kind, respectful and friendly was extremely attentive. He also was able to answer any of our questions when it came to the food . He was a pleasure.“

“Long time patrons but Blue Water has gone downhill over the last several years as far as seafood choices and food taste. Seafood Fra Diavolo ordered medium was tasteless and calamari were the Shop n Stop frozen rings. Key Lime pie slice the size for a mouse maybe and tasteless, no presentation like back in the day. Another “ former “ old time patron sitting next to us was furious as his swordfish was maybe 1/4” thick. We both agreed never to visit Blue Water again. We both remembered when it was the best ! My spouse and I were customers when the place would be packed now 4 tables only at 6:30pm ( guessing others feel the same) and long gone is the special menu had lobster cakes, halibut, monk fish , red snapper etc. Sadly and honestly not even better than a pizza restaurant but 3x the price. Bye Blue Water Seafood .“

“We had lunch on Saturday afternoon. I would rate the food as pretty good, and better than Red Lobster which is right across Rt. 18. However the presentation of the food leaves a good deal to be desired. They serve on paper strays with plastic spoons. Paper would be fine if it was of a higher / thicker quality. The plastic utensils would also be fine if they weren’t of the kiddie party variety. The We had soft shelled crab, fried shrimp and catfish with boiled Cajun pototes and French fries. All of the food was good, neither over cooked not undercooked. The soft shell carb was pretty good. What was annoying was that the (soupy) boiled potato(s) side dish was served in a Saran Wrap baggie tied in a knot and put in the same paper tray with the fried soft shell crab. It was hard to tear it open without spilling the contents all over the table. However the side dish potatoes were good. The problem was the plating. The French fries were also good, neither overcooked nor undercooked and tender. While the food is good you and the restaurant is decently decorated, you get the impression that they have a very very tight budget for necessities as in utensils, plates and trays. Nevertheless we will eat there again or have their food delivered. They do not have a delivery service so you must use Uber or Doordash.“

“Great place to have delicious food at good prices . The waitstaff was sooo friendly“

“I had a great dining experience at Dim Sum Go Go Go. The sesame chicken was delicious, with just the right balance of flavor, and the shrimp pork shumai was fresh and well-made. And everything was hot and nicely prepared. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, and the service was friendly and efficient. I’m looking forward to coming back to try more food from their menu.“

“Establishment is clean, with excellent customer service. Guillermo was a God send. He had my three dz Blue Claw Crabs fresh/cleaned and when he realized I had car troubles and was going to walk-he gave me a ride home safely. Pristine local fishermen and family business worth supporting compared to more well known larger venues.“

“Second times, love it (so much foods)“

“There are a very few Chinese restaurants that are authentic so this is definitely one! We ordered the spicy tofu flavor fish which was sooo good! It was just the right spicy and flavorful. With some rice on the side, it was just perfect! We also got some beef skewers and barbecue chicken wings to go and they were great too! But the fish wins any day! :)“

“Amazing food and service ❤️“

“Good food and atmosphere and service always on point and both courteous and prompt ….. make a an awesome Pomegranate Martini 🍸“

“If you like Red lobster’s endless shrimp, this place is great with unlimited shrimp for $25 per person, but only on Monday. Shrimp tastes not too bad with 6 different dishes, including spaghetti, fried rice, coconut shrimp, shrimp tempura, sweet sour shrimp and garlic shrimp with vermicelli. You can always find one you like, I recommend coconut shrimp, sweet sour shrimp and garlic shrimp with vermicelli.

For fish, sour fish soup is their signature with different varieties of fish you can choose. A lot of vegetables in the fish soup including tofu skin, pickled cabbage, lettuce root, cucumber and enoki mushrooms. Taste not the best, but not too bad as well.

I highly recommend their desserts including red bean moon cake and sweet lotus stuffed with sticky rice, very delicious and must try!“

“Simply delicious. Our server, don't remember her name was excellent. See her with me and my friend

Parking: Park at the Hyatt deck and ask for a parking voucher at the restaurant. Otherwise, parking is terrible in that part of New Brunswick.“

“Fujiya Pickled Fish is an impressive restaurant located in New Jersey. Their pickled fish fish features fresh fish meat and rich pickled cabbage soup, which is delicious and unforgettable. The environment of the restaurant is comfortable and pleasant, and the service attitude is warm and thoughtful. Whether it is a family dinner or a gathering of friends, it is an ideal choice. Recommend their other dishes as well. Overall, Fujiya Pickled Fish is a high-quality Chinese restaurant worth visiting and you will definitely not be disappointed.“

“Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend:)“

“A Steak Lover's Paradise: Strickland's Steakhouse Our recent holiday dinner at Strickland's Steakhouse was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped into the elegant dining room, we were greeted with warm hospitality and attentive service. Eva, our server, was truly exceptional. Her extensive knowledge of the menu and daily specials made our dining experience even more enjoyable. She was attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile. The appetizers were a delightful prelude to the main course. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The steaks were the highlight of the evening. The Japanese A5 Wagyu was a revelation - tender, juicy, and incredibly flavorful. Every bite was pure indulgence. To top off the meal, we indulged in a variety of delectable desserts and rich coffees. The perfect ending to a perfect evening. Strickland's Steakhouse is a must-visit for any steak lover. The combination of exceptional food, impeccable service, and elegant ambiance makes it a truly memorable dining experience. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning in the future.“

“Went here for a neuropathy dinner seminar they served us chicken with spinach and sour cream and artichokes it was so tender and tasty had the steamed green beans and mashed potatoes too good server was friendly , I will be back to try the rest of the menu“

“The host Ranjitha and team deccan spice were excellent. Would recommend to everybody😊“

“Our Wedding Reception was at Armory 17 years ago! We go back every year on our anniversary! And other times as well. Food is always good. Love the Rodizio! And in good weather, enjoying the delicious food outside, with sangria, is wonderful! Highly recommend it!!“

“Lovely auntie makes the best samosa chaat I’ve ever had! Literally so mouthwatering“

“Amazing! We had a WONDERFUL experience. Food was excellent, service was EXCEPTIONAL, ambience was great! I think we found our new "place!" Our server, Elizabeth (Liz) was AMAZING! LOVED her! She was on point with everything and also adorable! She definitely contributed to why we will return and have this Seasons 52 our new meeting spot.“

“Came to visit a friend in NJ, they suggested this hot pot place, the soup was thick and flavorful but during our meal we ordered a chicken appetizer dish which was not available for a while per the cashier, however we were still billed for the appetizer and never gotten the dish. They were great to took it off our bill but kinda shouldn’t had it happened. Over all the food was great but the portion could have been more. We had the beef and few other dishes the most memorable was the money pouch tofu dish filled with shrimps. I guess it is a pretty decent place for hot pot after all if it was always packed and reservation is recommended.“

“good food. I like the outdoor dinning. drinks we good as well. will be back“

“The soups at Nai Brother are amazing! If you like pickled flavors, this is the dish for you. So far, we've tried the house signature and the sour pickled pepper with flounder. I highly recommend them, and we plan on going back to try more flavors. What I like best is that this dish is large enough to share.“

“excelente servicio 👍 y la comida muy rica muy amable la atención, 100 % recomendado“

“We stopped in for dinner this evening (night before Thanksgiving) and we absolutely loved both the food and the service!

We had the kani salad & green salad, the fried shrimp appetizer, salmon sushi, and several special rolls - everything was fresh and very tasty with great portions!

And I would be remiss if I did not mention that our server, Chen, was an integral part of the experience and the enjoyment of our meal! She is a very welcoming host and lively conversationalist who really takes an interest in her work and her customers.

This was our first time dining here and we will certainly be back (and often)!

Parking: Parking was easy, they have plenty of spaces!“

“It would be easy to overlook this place. It’s buried way in the back of a strip mall. The interior ambience isn’t anything to brag about, either. Yet it is a true gem with amazing food at good prices and excellent service. My wife and I each ordered pizzas. She got the 12” Chicken Pesto and I ordered the 12” Meat Lover’s. Both came out promptly. It was amazing, the best pizza I’ve had in years. I can’t say too many good things about it. Everything was in perfect harmony, a symphony of umami and cheese. Meatballs, sausage, bacon. It had it all. Each bite a delight. My wife also loved her pizza. We stopped in on a Monday on the way up north for a show. There were a few tables occupied but I would imagine it probably gets busy on weekends. Even so, I would make a point of stopping in here again next time I’m passing through the area at dinner time.“

“Best pork roll, egg and cheese around made with TLC.“

“The service was really excellent. The food was delicious. I was having a party for a member of my staff and it could not be more perfect.“

“Love the food - great variety with amazing taste. Everything is made fresh. Great atmosphere and very clean and friendly. Highly recommend!“

“I have been doing a taste test with my family on seafood boils around the area and this is still our favorite, from to-go orders and dine-in with kids AND without. Food is always correct, fresh seafood and the sweetest waitress ever that basically works the entire restaurant (apologies I did not get her name)“

“This is hands down the best restaurant in NJ right now. The 8 course tasting menu is phenomenal, each dish balanced with unique flavors and texture, and beautiful plated. Our server explained each dish in detail, was extremely knowledgeable of the ingredients and dishes, and very friendly. He consistently topped off our drinks as needed and meticulously provided a new place setting for each course. The ambiance was very relaxing as we sat on the 2nd floor, with beautiful hip, modern decor. I was particularly intrigued by the faucet in the bathroom which was very unique. The overall attention to detail from the concept and design to the food and service is what sets it apart. Fine dining at its best with a relaxed atmosphere that easily compares to a Michelin star restaurant.

Free on site parking is available and it is a BYOB. A liquor store is conveniently located next door in case you forget to bring your libations.“

“la atención y la comida es exelente“

“Excellent service and good food 🍱“

“Beautiful atmosphere friendly wait staff delicious appetizers and even better main course next up vanilla crème brûlée“

“Best pizza and food around!! Stall is so very courteous“

“Vegetarian options: My search for 'Kunefe' that would taste authentic just like the one I had in Türkiye years ago has finally concluded; it was so good that I am forced to put out this statement - "This is the best Kunefe I have even had in the US of A!" For main course I had vegetable casserole.“

“La Cucina is absolutely delicious. Always fresh and VERY consistent. I have never ordered something that wasn’t superb! They have the best halibut over risotto I have ever had. If you have never dine here before then you are certainly missing out. Cucina is our go to! Best food in town by a long shot 🙌🏼“

“Awesome service and menu. Greatttttt food. Robert Vidal“

“First Time Here And The Breakfast Food Was Delicious.“

“Never disappoints, always a hearty meal.“

“Hey guys,
Your food is awesome and delicious, but you increased the spice level too much from some time. Now, we can’t even eat mild level food due to the hotness. We can’t even imagine giving that food to the kids who grow up here. It will be too much for them. Please reduce the spice level if it is possible.“

“Fabulous dining experience at The Greek on Main! Recommended by our son! Appetizers were amazing! Fig & Goat Cheese Flatbread Haloumi Fries- Feta and roasted red pepper aioli. So good! Tomato salad! Enjoyed two entrée specials!- Shrimp and Pork- Delicious! The prawns and lamb shank were well prepared! Dessert and tea! Perfectly ended the night! Our Server Lovely was truly lovely!! Attentive and friendly! She knew the menu well and answered all our questions! Thank you Lovely! Bring your own alcohol! Make reservations! Highly recommend“

“Exceptional in Every Way! My experience at 390 Prime Steak and Seafood was nothing short of phenomenal. From the impeccable service to the unforgettable flavors, this restaurant is a true gem. The attention to detail in every dish and the warm ambiance made for an evening I'll cherish. If you're seeking a culinary adventure that exceeds expectations, look no further than 390 Prime Steak and Seafood.“

“For people who are going to try the deadlift soup for the first time, I recommend ordering the seviche separately, because the lemon is strong and overpowers the flavor of the seafood. And the easy tasty marine dish for three people, make sure to bring a bottle of wine, nice place, a hidden gem.“

“Everything is so yummy!! Especially the yuca fries!!!

Vegetarian options: A few vegetarian appetizers, black bean burger(super delicious), some vegetarian side dishes! My boyfriend is a vegetarian and he loves the vegetarian options here! He loves vegetables and cheese and feels there is enough of a variety for him here! ?“

“The best pancakes local diner great food and great prices“

“The Best Staff, a staple of the community. Beautiful restaurant and Who doesn't love Portuguese and their food!!!!“

“Very good food very good vibe’s one of the best places en Perth amboy“

“surprised to see the low ratings, the food is pretty good and ambiance is vibrant yet nice & low key. I’m afraid the people complaining about operating fees and mandatory tip don’t read the news about how difficult it has become to operate a restaurant business during these times - it’s either drive up the cost of the menu or add in a fee (either way you’re going to get an up charge because this is the state of the economy)“
