50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Jenkintown

“Been there 3 times to get takeout, so time to review. Short version: great food, nice staff, clean facility, and honestly a real bargain for what you get.

The food is always ready when I arrive. It's easy to get in and get out of The Fairway. The takeout bowls are hilariously overkill, you can use them to take your lunch to work they are so robust. No leaking in the takeout bag. The quality of the ingredients is very good. Never fishy, clean taste, good balance of textures in their dishes.

If you are reading this you are looking for a good place for sushi in the Abington/Jenkintown area. Down the shopping center is Whole Foods. Zushi's sushi is better, you get more, and it's better priced. Try it here instead, and support a local small business.

Pictured is a bento box from Sushi. It was very good, particularly the crab salad. Recommended.“

“Consistently excellent food and service“

“Our first experience at a James Beard award winning restaurant (2017) and chef was incredible at Vernick Fish in Philadelphia to celebrate Trent’s graduation! I know now what this caliber of food and service means and all other restaurants pale in comparison to Vernick Fish and Greg Vernick(semi-finalist chef 2025). From the appetizers (dozen oysters from RI, MA, ME, PEI) to the drinks and main course were all uniquely exquisite and cannot be replicated anywhere else. The constant doting with new silverware at each course and cleaning of the table was undeniably royalty treatment. Even the bathroom was an experience-I need the hand lotion in my life (instantly made my hands look 30 years younger). The portions, ambiance and service were all equally perfect! I highly recommend you check out Vernick Fish. We will definitely return!“

“Server Jen was fantastic, always with a smile and checked back often to see if we needed anything. Food was great! Would recommend highly!“

“Ashley did a remarkable job considering there were so many tables to care for during the 5 course martini dinner. She came back repeatedly to ensure our needs were being met. She even got my daughter & I two Med Rare filets when everyone was getting Medium👍. Great job during a rush rush dinner party!!“

“Thank you to all tonight! We were celebrating the impending birth of our grandson with his other grandfather! Our children are 1st time parents!! Christina was perfection, knowledge and sweetness all at once! Everyone treated us great! Thank you Christine for all your help! Looking forward to returning w/ the new Mommy & Daddy! Thank you all again. 3 excited grandparents!“

“Absolutely amazing!!“

“Always a Pleasure to have a Pleasure Platter. The lobster Bisque is my favorite.“

“Best raw oysters! We visit it nearly monthly! 🥰“

“Good food. Good customer service.“

“This might be one of the best ayce hot pot places I’ve been to!

You place your orders for meat via an iPad and all other foods (vegetables/fish balls/tofu etc) are self serve like a buffet. The meat comes out quickly and is good quality. The servers are very attentive and do a great job of taking away empty plates and replacing napkins. There are also some prepared foods, fruits, and desserts at the self serve station, as well as a full sauce bar. Drinks are located in the fridge (non alcoholic) and self serve, and are the classic Asian drinks like milk tea, aloe drink, and soy milk.

All tables have one large burner/one pot, so I wouldn’t recommend coming with a part of more than 4-5 people“

“really good food and good defiantly recommend going there again“

“They have absolutely amazing food!!! Excellent service. Unbelievable portions. I will go back again & again!“

“The best seafood ever, I’ve never had a bad meal honestly, my husband and I love it, this was always a great place to go for a nice quiet dinner, so disappointed that they did away with their indoor dining, their service was so good and so was their wait staff they were the best.“

“Took my mom there for dinner and we both had the chicken parm. Delicious!!!! Melony, our waitress, was the best. Good and service were outstanding. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Celebrated my son’s 21st Birthday here with about 30 of his friends and family. We had a big section of the deck to ourselves. They had plenty of different options to fit our needs. We had a great time, everyone raved how good the food was and our server kept the drinks coming! It was a perfect way to celebrate!“

“Never disappointed after years of going there. Had 2 orders of shrimp and chips and large order of crinkle cut fries to share with my son. The food was hot and the order was ready quickly. From ordering to receiving orders was not even 7 Mins. I don't have any pics , devoured it hot in the car, before even leaving the parking spot.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's an outside order window. That they can roll up too“

“Loved it here! A huge part of the good experience was the affordability, how quick the food came out, and the great appetizers. I absolutely loved the gobi manchurian and samosa chaat! Will absolutely be back & will make the drive from Philly.“

“Great seafood restaurant in the Fairmount area!!!“

“Superb experience! Joni was our bartender/server. He made the best recommendations. Food and cocktails were perfection! Highly recommend the heirloom salad with their bread service and skate cheeks over polenta was a flavor boom! Will be back!“

“The staff was absolutely lovely from the hostess to the server. The atmosphere was intimate, the decor throughout was very cool. The menu is very fairly priced and the food was incredible. I brought a friend here last night that was visiting from out of town, she can be a hard critic but she left happy. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! I will be back!“

“I enjoyed my burger and my beignets. I highly recommend this place.“

“Hello, I wasn’t sure because of the name but I’m glad I stopped. I had the Hibachi mix vegetable w chucks of chicken and nice size shrimp and fried rice, everything was deliciously fresh my rice was not sticky, and it came with a side salad, Thumps Up to #DrunkeCrab!! top off w a breath mint.“

“I love supporting local businesses and captain's choice is on of my go to spots for beer or a seafood platter. He definitely has great prices on beer. He also sells wine as well as other alcohol drinks and cigarettes. My only complaint is that when you order the fried flounder platter they always give such a tiny amount of fries not even a handful of fries. I wish they would give you more fries with the meal. Also there the only place in the Mayfair area in my knowledge that sells cups of Philadelphia water ice all year around which I absolutely love.“

“Great Food & Great Staff!!“

“Food is delicious, prices are reasonable! 🦀🦐❤️🦐🦀“

“my first experience with jerk chicken... it was awesome. Thank you!“

“Corner lot, limited parking. Seating for 4 or 6 at the tables available. To go was easy to order and seems like they do a lot of door dash from the location. Food was hot after the drive home and seasonings are great, went with the medium selection for the boil. Very friendly staff.“

“Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable staff. Great fresh vegetarian options with delicious tomato broth. Good vibes and music. Clean bathrooms.“

“Was there tonight for my daughters birthday dinner. I've been there once before and enjoyed it so took her tonite. we throughly enjoyed it. food was delicious although my daughter's filet was a bit over done. our waitress chrissy was awesome. very attentive..

“The place is old and reminds me of chickn lickn in Logan when I was growing up
The food is perfection
Prices are great
The lady took my money. However, she checked the camera to see if I gave her the right bill
I love the food but might not patronize due to the rudeness“

“We love sharks! wing nights snd daily specials! Always top notch service“

“Great experience all you can eat“

“Outstanding service and food at the bar! Waitress working the bar area was solo and killed it! Always a go to!!“

“It's in a difficult spot, but the owner is magnificent. I have been eating there for 20 years and the food quality has not changed.

Parking: There is always street parking. And it's usually about a half hour wait. But good things come to those who wait. ;)“

“Absolutely delicious 😋! I had the shrimp and the cheesesteak tacos 🌮. The platters never made it home 🏠. I ate them in the car. Everything was fresh and the prices were very reasonable. This place is a hidden gem in Upper Darby and needs more exposure. I left reviews on Facebook and Tik tok because I had to let everyone know about them after I learned about them on JL Jupiters channel.. please try them! They definitely won’t disappoint. You may wait for a little while but it’s worth the wait 😋“

“Jerk chicken cheese steak DELISH. Fried fish platter with Mac n cheese, ( it was MAC'n) and Greens, they were (GREEN'n), Yams good, just a bit too sweet for me. Shrimp n rice bowl ( BOWL'n). I will be a repeat customer😍😍“
