50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Annandale

“Amazing and the staff was on point explaining how to order.“

“First time customer. Ordered the following carryout lunch specials for myself and the kids.- General Tso's Chicken- Crispy Orange Chicken- Chicken with Broccoli- Sweet & Sour Pork- Pork Fried RiceThe gentleman behind the counter was nice and smiled when I entered.The prices were really reasonable and the portion size across the board was good.The kids and I enjoyed everything, especially the orange chicken and sweet and sour pork. We'll be sure to come back.“

“I ordered Agu Jjim for the first time as a to-go option. When placing my order, I inquired about the possibility of adjusting the spice level, and the staff kindly confirmed they could accommodate that request. I asked for a medium spice level, and I was thrilled to open the dish upon receiving it, especially since the restaurant had recently opened.

Upon tasting it, I found it absolutely delightful—truly perfect. The seasoning was just right, and the spiciness suited my palate perfectly. While I know I cannot replicate such wonderful flavors, I genuinely appreciate the effort that goes into the dish, and I would like to share a couple of suggestions for improvement.

I noticed that the bean sprouts seemed quite shriveled, which might indicate they were added too early in the cooking process. If they could be boiled or steamed separately and then mixed with the Agu Jjim, it might enhance the texture. Additionally, I felt the quantity of bean sprouts was somewhat lacking. Given that bean sprouts are relatively inexpensive, increasing the amount could make the dish appear more abundant.

I share these thoughts with the hope that the restaurant continues to thrive. Overall, this Agu Jjim is the best I have enjoyed in Annandale, and it stands out among the Agu Jjim I've had in the U.S. The freshness of the fish was exceptional as well. I wish the restaurant great success!“

“My family and I went to try this place and we enjoyed it! We ordered: Musubi Trio, BBQ Mix, BBQ Short Ribs, and the Seafood Platter and everything was delicious! We also tried the French fries and the macaroni salad. The service was really friendly as well. Nice aloha atmosphere!“

“I am in the habit of reviewing everything, and as a reviewer, I make it a point to read reviews for restaurants before I order anything. The reviews I saw were pretty good, with the exception of two. I ordered the sesame chicken with fried rice and the fried wings with fried rice and sweet and sour soup. The food was well seasoned, hot, and better than I expected. However, the fried wings were not what I'm used to...they could learn something from the carryout restaurants in Washington DC where the wings are fried well and are absolutely delicious. The spring roll was one of the best I've had in a while. I will definitely patronize this place in the near future. Just work on those wings...go to DC as a secret shopper and try the wings at virtually every carryout to get an idea of how it's done. The wings caused the loss of one star.“

“INCREDIBLE! You will do a happy dance when you bite into that lobster roll and those hot hush puppies. Everyone was lovely, hilarious, and helpful. Kelly and Naya made this a wonderful eating experience. This is a bit of a hidden gem and worth your time and dollars.“

“The food quality is very good at Black Salt. There were at least 5 items not listed on the regular menu which were also available for dinner. We liked the fact that several choices were seasonal in nature- which allowed those items to be available.“

“One of the best places in Dc and right on the water!“

“Great restaurant. Nice event. Food and beverages are great.“

“Very satisfied on my first visit to Ellie Bird. We came for Brunch for my wife’s birthday. The staff were all very attentive and many wished her a happy birthday as they welcomed us in, which often gets overlooked at other restaurants, but it made her morning feel so much more special. It may seem like a small notion, but it was a touching detail to our initial visit. The brunch menu is small but packed with flavors and meaningful dishes. We love this and wish we could try it all. We decided to start with the PB&J French toast as a shared app. It’s an entree item, but upon hearing how much the owner loves this item we had to try it out. We also ordered the Pineapple Bun sliders and Tornado omelette. For us the trio of entrees was the perfect blend of savory, sweet, and salty, hitting all the right notes. Also highly recommend the Ellie Bird Latte. Glad we came, we will be back for more!“

“Recommended, did not disappoint, had the Po Boy, very filling, parking can be a challenge, but overall, worth the travel.“

“Great atmosphere and vibe. Wish we had more restaurants like this in St. Louis, MO.“

“Great dining experience last night coming back to Eddie V. Even being very late for our reservations. They treated us very well and made accomidations for us immediatly. The cold water lobster is my fav and the scallops cooked perfectly. Well done! The highlight of the experience was our 5star server Muhamed Aniba. Really was one of the best host ive exeprienced in many top restaurants around the world. Hopefully your lucky enough to get his attention.“

“I ordered the Nancy Special and it was delicious!“

“Had a fabulous birthday dinner with family last night. Oysters were delicious with a great hot sauce provided from the Bronx. Skate and Monkfish specials of the day were excellent. Monday night and there was not an empty table. Testament to the great food and wonderful servers.“

“Loved it!! Each crawfish is impressively sized, with bouncy, fresh meat quality and tidbit sweet taste. The one I ordered isn't 100% Cajun seasoning but with some Asian hint to it - absolutely delicious. I think that's the shop's secret recipe. Highly recommend.“

“That Fresh salad is everything!! All in all, we love Mikes!!“

“What an experience! I came from Alabama on a work trip. My fellow employees and I were trying to find a seafood restaurant and stumbled upon this restaurant on a Wednesday. And boy did we hit the jackpot! The food was amazing first off. Second off, we had been wanting to do karaoke and there was a DJ! We sang at the table while we were eating and had such an amazing time. The atmosphere is phenomenal! We ended up dancing on the floor to a few songs before we left 😂 Thank you Hook & Reel for such an amazing experience. The next time we are in the area we are FOR SURE coming back!“

“Fun quick meal! Good and flexible service.“

“The Tacos and clam chowder was really good. The frozen Rose’ was good as well. Great service“

“The high tea on Saturday was fabulous. The staff was top notch and the food and beverages delicious.“

“Me and my man usually have a routine on Mondays where we workout and then get something to eat. Today when we were walking by, Miguel popped his head and invited us to come and try the fish grill, and thank God we did, the food was delicious! Everything tasted fresh! I got the giant shrimp with rice and coleslaw with a side of garlic butter and it was so good, I would definitely get that again. My man got the salmon burrito bowl and he really enjoyed it! I would highly recommend the fish grill, thank you Miguel for inviting us in.“

“Exceptional Service. Culinary Excellence. Our dining experience at JOON was extraordinary, made even better by the exceptional service from our server, Yacine. His thoughtful recommendations, warm demeanor, and perfectly timed attentiveness made for an unforgettable evening. Even as the restaurant got busier, Yacine maintained his focus on us— a warm and welcoming touch that elevated the entire experience. Thank you! As fans of Persian cuisine and frequent shoppers at Yekta Market in Rockville— having recently tried our hand at making Persian dishes like Fesenjan at home— coupled with all of the culinary accolades— we had high expectations for JOON. It not only met but exceeded them. Mast-o Musir, yogurt dish with Persian dried shallot and rose petal, was exceptional— more elevated and nuanced than any we’ve had. The mushroom Khoresht stew with white truffle was another highlight, offering perfectly balanced flavors something hard to do with white truffles and a satisfying richness, complemented by the perfectly crunchy Tahdig, iconic golden rice crust. The braised lamb shoulder which Yacine suggested was the undeniable highlight of the meal I which each dish was excellent. Tender and flavorful, it was paired beautifully with texture. It’s a signature dish that rivals the best we’ve ever had, bringing to mind the legendary Bo Ssam pork shoulder from David Chang’s Momofuku— bold, unforgettable, and expertly prepared. The Gormeh Sabzi, short rib stew with its delicious sour depth, was excellent but couldn’t quite match the lamb’s showstopping brilliance. Two very minor points. While the food and service are exceptional, the main dining room lighting would benefit from dimming. A water filtration water system could make a big difference as well. JOON has firmly secured its place as a must-visit dining destination for us. We can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu.“

“We recently celebrated our son's high school graduation with a dinner here, and everything was absolutely fabulous. Our server, George, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. He handled our party of 16 so smoothly — it felt like we were at a table of four with how attentive and efficient he was! Every guest truly enjoyed their meal, and it was the perfect way to mark such a special occasion. Highly recommend!“

“This site is my preferable restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I like it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this restaurant. when I I need a good lunchon, this restaurant comes instantly to my mind. excellent and food and a rich cuisine.great staff members, and great spirit. And very important, the cost is honest. I sent my friends to this spot with pleasure.“

“Really creative and delicious food!! The people are so welcoming and attentive. We are definitely foodies and highly recommend NUE. It is one of our favorite restaurants!!!“

“Last time I visited, I had the lamb chops and ribeye, which were both outstanding. This time, I tried the lobster stuffed shrimp (not even on the menu but if you ask, they'll make it, and it's an absolute must), the clam chowder, the Wagyu burger, and finished with a slice of Key Lime Pie. Everything was flavorful and well prepared, though I have to say the Coconut Cream Pie edges out the Key Lime for me in terms of dessert. The service was excellent, and I really appreciate that the staff went out of their way to accommodate a special request like the lobster stuffed shrimp. Overall, another great experience and one of my favorite places to come back to for both the food and hospitality.“

“We've dined at Patsy's American on several occasions and consistently appreciate the quality, service and atmosphere.“

“Great service, good food, nice patio, bar & inside spaces“

“The service and friendly staff are top-notch! Seafood and special seasons and sauces are bangin’! Only wish that they kept the Centreville location.“

“I made my first order last week. 10/10 on the quality of the meals, taste and literally so easy to order. Can’t wait to pick out next weeks dishes.“

“Overall the food was good. My partner and I both ordered the Connecticut Roll. The bun was melt in your mouth good. Honestly the best warm buttery bun I've ever had. However the lobster it's was bland. No salt whatsoever. They need to invest in Old Bay and use it. Season your food. I thought the tater tots didn't have salt, but once I got to the bottom I seen the salt, but the tots were also bland and burnt. I'd go back, but please season the lobster with Old Bay 😫 and all salt to the tots.“

“The take-out Chinese restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, and the food is prepared and ready promptly, typically within 10 minutes of ordering. The hot and sour soup is particularly noteworthy, standing out as one of the best in the area. Additionally, the lunch menu's orange chicken is delightful, with a unique infusion of actual orange rind that avoids being overly sweet. While savory, the pork with dried bean curd was slightly saltier than anticipated but satisfying when eaten with rice.“

“This is our friend group's go-to place for birthdays. We just celebrated for a fourth time this year. We love our server, Erica, as well as the food and ambience. Seasons 52 always sets up a little chalkboard "Happy Birthday" sign that makes the birthday boy or girl feel special. We'll be back next month!“

“Everything about this place is amazing!“

“Great service, the food was on time and prepared correctly. It was very clean. I’d definitely return!!“

“Excellent food and great service!“

“went on a saturday afternoon, not too packed, amazing service very helpful, comfortable and nice atmosphere, amazing food, 10/10 recommend you go to your nearest location 😁“

“Wonderful service and excellent food. I wanted a NY Strip Steak and I got one - grilled perfectly. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her grilled salmon and my daughter - 10 years old and very picky - was treated respectfully and was well- accommodated. Highly recommended.“

“been going there for over 25 years!Great food!.Jack Daniels shrimp is always a hit!“

“Great brunch, cozy atmosphere and very friendly staff!“

“Lovely sashimi! Authentic Japanese dishes.“

“LOVE this restaurant! Stopped in last evening for dinner and enjoyed the Oysters,Oysters,Oysters off the restaurant week menu! The fried and grilled oysters were perfection and the raw oysters were fresh and DELISH! We stick to appetizers on this visit, after the oyster feast we moved on to the peel and eat shrimp, perfectly cooked and seasoned with Old Bay and the Mussels in the spicy broth! Do yourself a favor and get extra bread to dip in the broth, you won’t be sorry! We didn’t have them on this visit, but one of the must try’s in my opinion is the Lobster Poutine! AMAZING! The amount of lobster in this dish at the price point of under $20 is OUTRAGEOUS in the very best sense of the word! The whiskey offerings at this establishment are some of the best that I have seen. I literally discovered one of very favorite bourbons here, Jefferson’s Ocean! The selections range from your basic line up, interesting new finds and hard to get must try’s. The man behind this whiskey magic is Edward, the bartender/manager. Edward is knowledgeable and loves to talk about his offerings, so don’t be shy, ask questions and be prepared to learn a little something! We have enjoyed everything from their brunch offerings, seafood and burgers! Wine to whiskey and everything in between and have never been disappointed! We recently moved, and now have to brave 45 minutes of Beltway traffic (and that’s on a good day as we all know..lol) to get to this spot. So if you good food, attentive service and an amazing selection of whiskey are your thing, trust me when I tell you this is the place for you!“

“they had a really hot guy working there with a little bracelet on what is his name but overall good food.“

“Very delicious seafood. I ordered special Lobster tail, Snow crab, Sausage and shrimp. It was brought in metal bowl covered with plastic bag. Sauce was the best I ever ate with seafood. Waitress Asia was great and attentive to our needs.“

“This is probably mine and the families favorite hot pot to go to in this area. The food is absolutely delicious, it’s nice that the vegetables are a buffet style where you can get them at your own pace. The quality is great and so is the service! If you’re into hot pot and in the area this place is an absolute must!!“
