50 Best Seafood Restaurants near North Brunswick

“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)“

“Ate here twice in the past week on the way from Boston to Maryland and back. First night was on. Tuesday after 9:00 pm. Service could not have been more courteous, didn’t rush us at all, and had wonderful”diner fare” Turkey dinner and fish & chips. Liked it so much we routes aiurneeturn trip to stop here for dinner on the way back. Great open-faced roast beef, another fish & chips, and the “]waitress special”- grilled cheese with tomato and bacon. Service again was great , food very filling and tasty. Great family stop- something for everyone. Loved it!“

“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 ❤️“

“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!“

“Food was amazing. Which is a shame, we can never go there again. The horrible club music was so loud I could hear my husband, the waiter was screaming at me and had to get too close to take our order.Experience horrible; food was amazing but could never go there again.“

“Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend:)“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 .“

“So one night they were in the mood for some fried chicken & they found this place. It was our first time there & I must say, it won't be our last. I believe the gentleman behind the counter was the owner but not quite sure, but whomever he was, he was a great representative of the place. We ended up getting a few hot wings, a box of chicken, corn on the cob & fries & I was actually shocked at how good they were.“

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

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

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

“If this place a a few tables inside or even outside so you can eat your food fresh, 5 stars overall all day. I ate in my car to avoid the battered fish and fries getting soggy due to the steam being trapped in the containers the food is in. On to the food… since this place is very affordable, I ordered a 3 piece of catfish, 3 piece whiting, 3 piece tilapia and 6 piece wings with fries. Everything came out fresh. No fishy smells or foul taste. Very well seasoned and you can add a little shake of lemon pepper spice mix they have on the counter. Tater sauce is really good also. Not that it needs it, but taking a piece of fish dipping it in hot sauce letting the batter absorb it and then taking it for a swim in tartar before taking that bite of delight that will definitely have you going in for another. Their wings fall right off the bone leaving you with that crispy crunchy coating surrounding juicy chicken meat that also does not need anything else, but dipping that in hot sauce bringing your tastebuds to the next level.

Parking: I went around 1:30 on a Friday so not sure if it is easy to find parking during busy times.“

“Great friendly atmosphere and great fresh food“

“Brent was our server and he was awesome. We had a family friend from out of the country with us and we knew we'd get good service and good food but appreciated Brent's attentiveness. Noise was a lot for my older folks but a Saturday night it was hopping so it can't be a complaint when business is good.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“excellent service. great food. having 45th anniversary there.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“A hidden jewel. This 50's themed diner is always immaculate. Staff is well trained and really friendly for this family owned business. We, until recently, worked our business from home so Chris's is our home from home. Always accommodating, food is excellent, prices fair. My happy place❤“

“la atención y la comida es exelente“

“Ciccio‘s has the best pizza in town. They have a great Tasting sauce on their pizza! Everything we have ever ordered here has Never disappointment.“

“I’ve been getting food from hibachi express with my family and friends since they opened about 1.5 years ago and have never had a bad experience. The food is always amazing and the service is always great! I 100% recommend trying hibachi express!“

“Absolutely delicious! Good service!“

“Great food. Great service“

“Cute costa Rican 🇨🇷 spot.
Very friendly and welcoming.
The empanada are $5 but if you are a big empanada fanatic like me, you should definitely try it. The chicken and beef are my favorite. They are stuffed... no air pocket whatsoever. Pulled beef and pulled chicken.

The food was good but a bit blend. Just need a little more seasoning on the eggs especially. Maybe salt and pepper may solve it for some but I needed more. Lol

I got the breakfast tacos and added chicken to it. The chicken were just added on top and the were big pieces of chicken. I had to diced it myself to mesh it all together. You must be quick with the tacos or the tortilla gets very soft and makes it impossible to hold.

Overall I enjoy my empanada and took my leftover which I spice up the next day on the stove.

If in the area again, i would visit this place for their empanada and delicious ice coffee.

You can bring your dog here. Very dog friendly and I thing they were doing photoshoot with the dogs when I visited.“

“Great foods & Hard working Chef“

“Excelente servicio, y comida deliciosa“

“The Mussels were excellent and the service was superb!! I’ll be coming back!!!😊“

“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 🙌🏼“

“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.“

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

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

“Never disappoints, always a hearty meal.“

“amazing food !! Marcelo always makes you feel like home I love their fresh pizza“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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)“

“I absolutely love ordering from this restaurant. This is the only place that I will order my pizza from since I moved to the area. Anything that I have ever ordered from here has been absolutely delicious!“

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

“Great food very good server“
