50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Piscataway

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

“Authentic South Indian food. On Dec 6 2025, I catered Dindigul biriyani, mutton Chettinad curry, veg biriyani and paneer 65. Each dish was superb- tasty, spice perfect. Generous quantity. Guests were gushing. The restaurant owner is gracious, hi tech and the process was seamless. One of the best authentic South Indian restaurants.“

“I have been here few times since they opened and it’s always been a great experience. The food is amazing and fresh. The place is very clean and family friendly. The staff is super friendly and go above and beyond for your satisfaction. I will definitely recommend this place to others. It’s very good value as well with good portions sizes.“

“Ordered for the first time from China Wok yesterday (influenced by icharmed's review posted two months ago) and I am happy to share my very pleasant experience. The help I received from Daniel regarding ordering online for delivery was great and the food was hot when it arrived quickly with a very nice delivery man. The hot and sour soup was the BEST I've had in a very long time. The egg roll was tasty. My sweet and sour pork was good and very filling. Today I am looking forward to my mixed wonton egg drop soup and my house special lo mein - I sampled both yesterday and was very pleased. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the Piscataway area - you won't be disappointed.“

“10 Stars for the service 👍👍👍✨️
Amazing services by the crew. Very fast, attentive and friendly too. 👏👏👏
The fish soup broth was not enough, it's kinda hard to scoop off the soup to your bowl, they offered if you want more broth, but then less flavorful after they add with just the base broth without seasoning.
Garlic shrimp was the highlight of the dinner.
The gave us complementary drinks & desserts💖
Overall was good food, great service and good vibes.
When you come here, Please tips the servers 20% or more as they worked really hard.“

“Amazing food and service ❤️“

“Food was good; Drinks are very good“

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

“Enjoyed our crawfish boil. Good food, friendly staff and clean and spacious location. We will be back.“

“I ordered the Sweet and Sour Squirrel Bass and Shanghai Smoked Fish. The smoked fish tasted so authentic — just like what I had in Suzhou! Perfectly marinated, flavorful, and not greasy at all. The squirrel bass was crispy on the outside, tender inside, and cooked to perfection. The fish is freshly prepared — they literally have a tank right by the entrance, so you know it’s super fresh!“

“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“

“Excellent service. What’s the owner name“

“Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend:)“

“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 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.“

“Great friendly atmosphere and great fresh food“

“great food, service, and strong drinks“

“excellent service, they are very friendly and the food without a doubt, recommended.“

“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!“

“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 .“

“I am a big sticker for fried food not being greasy and this was the first time I have ever been to this restaurant. The chicken came out HOT which is extremely important and had just the right seasoning. When I didn't see greasy chicken or the paper inside greasy I tried one and before I knew it I had eaten five wings waiting for the rest of my food. And I bought 12 pieces to take home and share. Also try the bean pie OMG I literally ate the entire thing. I purchased the small one. I don't usually eat the crust but it was so delicious.“

“The food a service was exceptional! My first time eating off any food truck and will do so again!“

“This place is a 10 out of 10. Every time I go the food is consistently great. The service is excellent and they make you feel special when you let them know the reason you are celebrating.

I aways get the Filet Mignon - perfectly cooked and the mashed potatoes are amazing! They have the best mashed potatoes I've ever had.“

“It was a wonderful experience trying Lebanese cuisine for the first time. I love everything my daughter-in-law ordered. My favorite was the Old City Platter. I got to try different things. The hummus plate was awesom❤️‍🩹“

“Justo ahora vine, a comer empanadas, y la atención de la nena fue la Mejor, tan amable, 💕💕💕“

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

“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.“

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

“Great service and the food and drinks were delicious 💕“

“Absolutely love coming here! Every meal is done to perfection using the highest grade products. The boom of flavors takes you away with every bite. Highly recommend for a fun date night out when you don’t know what you want and the chef just feeds you.“

“My wife and I have been patrons and huge fans of Chez Catherine for nearly 30 years. Last Friday, we happily celebrated our 39th anniversary there with another very fine lunch. It's always a pleasure to be greeted like old friends by owner Stephane Bocket and seated at what we think is the best table in the tastefully decorated, elegant restaurant. We both chose the prix fixe menu. For starters, my wife had the always terrific moules and I a lovely mixed salad. We both chose beef bourguignons for our main course and asked Stephane to suggest wine from the by-the-glass list. His selections of a chablis for my wife and pinot noir for me worked perfectly with the outstanding bourguignons. We finished by sharing a delicious Baba au Rhum, prepared by Stephane at tableside. Dining at Chez Catherine is always a special event to us. Everything about it is first class. If you are unfamiliar with Chez Catherine, it has been one of New Jersey's Top 5 restaurants for nearly 40 years. We recommend it highly and urge lovers of fine dining to not wait but reserve a table NOW. We're sure you'll find it to be as special as we do.“

“best grill chicken platter and zinger love it fresh chicken always“

“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.“

“A few weeks ago my friend and I had dinner at this Red Lobster, the place was full and it took a while for the waiter to come to our table but when he did; Matthew did an excellent job! yes, he could have been faster but I think they were short of staff that day but other than that Matthew was awesome“

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

“Best food ever 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 love coming here with our family Tammy and Sal the owners are so nice very special people and so are their waiters and waitresses we love Palo Thanks to our Father for introducing us to Dimaios“

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

“If you're looking for an upscale spot with mouthwatering dishes, look no further than this place. The food is out of this world - especially the steak. Each bite is like a slice of heaven. And the best part? They didn't rush us at all. We were able to savor every last bite without feeling pressured to finish quickly. Overall, a truly fantastic dining experience that I can't wait to repeat, but parking can be a bit tough.“

“Absolutely delicious! Good service!“

“Great food, excellent service from Dennis Yusko in coordinating our catered party!“

“I have been going to 12 Islands to eat for many years. I have never had a less than perfect meal and the service is outstanding. It is my home away of home.“

“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“

“The two people I was with were really happy with their menu choices and said the food was really good, and everything was nicely presented, but my House Waffles were dry and tasteless; they looked really nice though, and the scrambled egg I ordered on the side was perfect. Excellent service and really nice atmosphere. We'll certainly go back, but I'll make a different menu selection. In short, I really recommend The Bridgewater Cafe, I just can't give as enthusiastic a recommendation for the waffles.“

“Love this place. Food and staff are friendly. Outside seating. Definitely recommend!“

“My Step Dad Recently had went for his birthday dinner, with my mom and my step family and wanted to share they recommend this place(they don’t have social media). They had a big party of like 20 people. Food was delicious, servers and service were amazing. Everyone got their food at the same time. They were extremely happy with the restaurant.“
