50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Old Bridge

“I'm thrilled to say I absolutely love Osaka Sushi 2! I first tried their food when I moved to the Old Bridge area, ordering through DoorDash, and was immediately impressed. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and arrived quickly. MY FAVE IS THE CRYSTAL ROLL, try it!

Since then, I’ve dined in the restaurant a few times, and each visit has been wonderful. The food, service, and even the discounts are consistently great. I enjoy trying different rolls each time, and their lunch special is unbeatable! The servers and the owner are incredibly friendly, making each visit feel welcoming. I highly recommend bringing a friend or your partner, you won’t be disappointed with the quality and presentation. You can truly tell they love what they do!“

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

“Excellent food and service!“

“Highly recommend this place! The grilled fish was absolutely delicious—super tender and full of flavor. The BBQ was also great, everything tasted amazing. Nana provided excellent service and was very attentive, and we even got complimentary drinks. After a long day of driving, this meal really re-energized us. Will definitely choose this place first for future gatherings!“

“Amazing food and service ❤️“

“Awesome terrific food no doubt 100pct. People like Soria are the best in the business..but but but Jesus Mary&Joseph omg when u call there and whoever might pickup the phone all you hear is an enormous background noise like I'm in Las Vegas. That must stop. Not at all professional not in the least. Move the woman who answers the phone to a separate non loud room. Not close to acceptable. I couldn't hear myself placing my order“

“Wu’s fish house is so good!!! The location of this place is so good! there’s so much to do around in this shopping center and stopping by to eat here is perfect. The portions are really big and the price is so good! They have SOOOO many menu items to choose from so it’s perfect for everyone. The food is great quality everything is so fresh and flavorful. HIGHLY RECOMMEND DEF COME“

“10/10

from the clean ambience, sink station, great service and fresh and delicious food, this is now my new favorite seafood boil spot! 🔥

the snow crab legs are big and meaty, the scallops and mussels were big and cooked to perfection, and the oysters were fresh!

the shrimp basket with cajun fries were so good!

the captain coolers were good, not too sweet and a perfect mixer with your spirit of choice.

it’s BYOB and there is a liquor store next door.

can’t wait to go back!“

“Cuzin's Seafood Clam Bar is first class! Not only is the seafood fantastic, but the dry aged steaks and cocktails are excellent as well. Highly recommend“

“Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend:)“

“had a problem but the manager was very concerned and made us happy we went.food absolutely delicious.“

“My friend and I had the Chilean sea bass. It was excellent. The taste was flavorful. The fish was moist and cooked perfectly. The Bang Bang shrimp is always a hit. My friend said her spinach was tasty as well. Our server Dario was great too.“

“Great food here! I had to drive 40 minutes to get here, but the food makes it worth it! The service is great, the fish is excellent, and the atmosphere is friendly. The restroom is clean, but the only problem is the opening hour is a bit late. Overall, great experience. Would definitely come back again. Possibly the best fish soup in NJ.“

“Great food with consistent outcomes with every visit. We eat in the restaurant which is never crowded. I would like to see more people come in. Today our new favorite was the whole Pomfret fish. I didn't get a picture but did of our earlier choices. Itsxs great sharing time experience with your own favorite wine.“

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

“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.“

“Rich and flavorful broth! Great sides!

Wow! Firstly, very lovely first impression walking in and being seated. I am a big fan of the robin-egg colored tableware and the Miniso Dundun chicken timers lol. The place felt very clean and fresh, upon arriving.

Food:
The broth was extremely rich and flavorful! Genuinely tasted like it was prepared for a long time (10 hours) just like they advertise! It tasted very savory and it pairs well with the chicken and the other sides! The fish maw white fungus, chinese yam, pumpkin, and hand pulled noodles were all very fresh and high quality. I personally loved how chewy the noodles were after cooking it!

Our order was 2 servings it felt like a reasonable price. Definitely satisfied with the portion size given that we felt pretty full afterwards.

Service felt very welcoming and friendly.

I would totally recommend giving this place a try!“

“We were celebrating moms 77 bday and Mother's Day. Our server Luis was top tier. He was bubbly, vibrant, attentive and provided us with A1 service. He didn't skip a beat. My family all agreed we only want Luis to service us whenever dining at Seasons 52. We also let the manager Erica know of his amazing service. He made my mom and the entire table feel special during our dining experience. We were all impressed with his resilience on one of the busiest days of the year, yet he was always smiling and if servitude. Thank you Luis for your outstanding customer service.“

“Service was excellent, and the menu and specials were plenty. The ambiance was nice, noise moderate, but a slower night. The table settings were very classy, only issue I had was that it was so beautiful set, but received the bread dip oil, which was delish came in a plastic cup? The app was mussels in a garlic wine sauce, very meaty and tasty. The meal was very good, had the Grilled Jumbo shrimp, with traditional chips. Should have requested the saffron rice side, which I do like. The vegetables were slightly overcooked, but tasty. The creamy cheesecake was outstanding! The Pinot Noir average but nice. Overall, I'd definitely recommend.“

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

“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 .“

“Ram & Rooster delivers a fantastic tasting menu experience from start to finish. The space is beautiful, with superb decor and a counter overlooking the open kitchen that makes the whole meal feel intimate and engaging all for a great price!

Several dishes stood out, especially the scallop course, which was perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. The duck dish was another highlight—rich, tender, and beautifully balanced. It’s also BYOB, and they offer some excellent non-alcoholic drink options that pair nicely with the meal.

Dessert was the perfect ending, with a bright lemon cake and a decadent chocolate dish that were both outstanding.

Phenomenal service throughout the evening made the experience even better. Ram & Rooster is a must for anyone looking for a refined and memorable tasting menu.“

“Delicious food, and perfect for a meal any time of day or a late night bite. The malatang ain’t no joke and the fish was so tender! Particularly enjoyed the spicy beef tendon and tripe appetizer as well. Fast service, and owner is so kind.“

“Pasta with Butter was amazing.“

“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.“

“First time here and great experience! Outdoor dining only. Food is unbelievably fresh and tasty! The porta potties are upgraded bathrooms and surprisingly clean. Off street parking but not bad. Outdoor patio is going to be extended over the dunes for 2025. Can't wait to go back next summer!“

“fresh pasta woth short rib ragu...fantastic dish. been eating here for 20 years... cant recall a bad meal.“

“Tried it for the first time today. Hubby got the fried calamari and I got the fish sandwich. Both delicious and fresh.“

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

“10 out of 10! Absolutely love this place! Everything is always fresh“

“1st and last time coming here. With the price of the buffet you would think they will have more food selections. The food was nasty, cold and dry. The hibachi was closed and the steak they did make and put out was cold, tough and been sitting out for a while. Crabs were cold and small they were stingy with putting everything out in small portions. Didn't have any snow crabs like they advertise. The bubble tea was free so my children didn't know upon leaving we had to pay for it. The rude receptionist ran and chased us down out the door and snatched them out my kids hands. If she wasn't so rude i would of went back to pay for them. I spent a total of $267 including $40 tip for nasty buffet and service. False advertising on social media made me come here. Never again“

“Great food. Great service“

“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 🙌🏼“

“We had a 50th wedding anniversary dinner at Metuchen Inn and it was perfect. The staff there is amazing. Everyone was so accommodating and they went above and beyond to make it a great evening. Anyone who is looking to host an event should consider Metuchen Inn!“

“The ma-la stir fry is the best I’ve had anywhere in the state. Recommend to come and try Spice24 in particular. I come every other week and have never had a bad experience.“

“Best in Metuchen! Go! Now! You will not be sorry! Great meal, great service and of course you get to visit with the owner, Dario Barone. Nothing better.“

“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 seafood 🦞 love the place .“

“Thank you to Rob and staff. Everything was great last night.“

“Xing was absolutely amazing! He was extremely helpful, friendly and attentive. the food was great but his service was even better.

We were group of four stopping in for our first meal after a full day at work. we spent about $45 per person including the service fee (well worth it but we tipped on too because the place is worth it. We will definitely be back.“

“Thought this was an American diner don’t know why but glad I came in. The smell had me at the front door. So I had the Mangu con los 3 golpes, which is fried salami fried,cheese, and eggs with smashed plantain . All delicious. The coffee had a home feel to it and the beef and steak empanadas to accompany it were good. Definitely coming back to taste all the other dishes here.“

“My wife and ate here in July. The food was outstanding especially the chicken parmigiana. Great fresh salad“

“Great food and great staff“

“Dinner was great. First timers. We had shrimp in garlic appetizer, combo with 1/2 chicken and ribs-pork, rice and fries. And 1/2 chicken with rice and veggies. Everything was of good quality and very delicious. We’d order from you guys again. Thank you for a wonderful dinner!“

“This is my all time favorite Chinese Restaurant! The food is delicious, generous portions and friendly service! We missed them during their brief closure for the beginning of the pandemic. Thank you!!“

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

“I love this place!! Definitely recommend to everyone!!“

“This restaurant Annaporni in manalpan was very good, samber, dosa, utthapam and vedas were excellent. I would go back again. Recommend this place for South Indian cuisine. Did not try their biryani’s but I am sure they are equally good.“

“We got the crab roe over rice and the green peppers with tofu. The crab roe over rice was really good, but pretty pricey. Next time, I'll probably just get the crab roe with tofu. The peppers were surprisingly good as well. Little bit of a kick and not too salty. The sides were REALLY good (pickled radish + wood ear)“

“To My Lou, we adore Scoop! They create all of their ice cream on-site and have a fantastic assortment of flavors! There is always a good time. Although it gets crowded in the summer, they manage to keep the lines moving swiftly. Additionally, they have a lovely outdoor seating area that is adorned with lights and looks adorable at night.“
