50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Annandale

“You have got to ask for Jay Kim, he is the best server in the house. He was patient and ever so helpful with us as first time hot potters. I had a vegetarian hot pot, well, except for the dumplings. Although they have no vegetarian options, he worked with me and provided me with an alternate option. It would be more awesome for them to add it to their menu tho for those of us who just love veggies. The broth is vegetarian based so it makes sense to have a vegetarian option along with it. We had a party of 8 and Jay Kim made it so much fun!!! The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was so fresh. One other option that would have been great to have would be fresh ginger at the sauce bar and mushrooms on the vegetable plate. We were all pleasantly pleased with our food. The ambiance is very nice, low light but more than enough to cook and enjoy each other's company. Jay Kim made sure we always had what we needed. The sauce bar was amazing, so many choices. I recommend making a few bowls, some for the broth and and some for dipping your cooked food. If you get any type of meat, also make a sauce to marinade the meat. You don't have to but it made a good difference. Meats are thinly sliced for quick cooking and again,so fresh. The price was worth the amount of food and the experience. There is an all you can eat option or an a la carte option where you just get one meat selection and a vegetable plate which was more than enough for us as a party of young ladies. This was a great first hot pot experience and I definitely recommend it, just make sure to ask for Jay Kim. I know you will enjoy it!!!“

“Great food and service! This is one of one favorite places to eat whenever we’re in town to visit our daughters. Jin and his team are the best!“

“I started going to L&L last summer, and my father and I instantly fell in love with it. The Loco Moco and The BBQ mix are standout favorites to us. The staff there have always been friendly, especially with the challenges coming their way with the renovations at the moment. Would recommend.“

2. The staff was a very nice lady, courteous and friendly.
3. The food. I just ordered the combination fried rice (spice levels included).
4. Taste, it was very good. I will go again!!“

“Just Woow!!!
This was the best seafood restaurant I have ever been to. The food was incredible and so is the service. Everyone was so sweet. They let us try the soup before buying it to make sure we liked it. The lobster roll, hush puppies (recommended by front server) and lobster bisque was out of this world. Will definitely need to come back here every time in Washington. Even got lollipops on the way out. So great!!!“

“What a special place to have a meal! Fantastic food and service. Fair pricing and simply exquisite food for dinner or weekend brunch. Staff is really knowledgeable and kind, always love coming to this restaurant. Also, it’s nice that it is a well lit dining area and not too loud to have conversations in. Great spot.“

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

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

“This restaurant, since it opened, has been one of the most consistently excellent in the entire WDC area, and a favorite of mine. The oysters are the best available, the wine list is outstanding and quite international, and the food is always cooked to perfection--but it is expensive, just plan on that. I had Chilean seabass (very $$$) and my guest had a salad (all of their salads are original and terrific) and their wonderful New England clam chowder (which could use a bit more bacon, as another restaurant in town does....) And this is the only restaurant in Washington where I ALWAYS have dessert, their mini-triple creme brulees -- superb! Finally, we had a new waiter, Alex, who was simply the best, most knowledgeable and thoughtful I've experienced in Washington this year. Amazing, keep him!“

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

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

“First timer at restaurant with friends for lunch and it was very nice. The waiter was knowledgeable of the items on the menu, reconfirm each guest order for accuracy. The size are HUGE and shareable so be aware of that!!! The manager was very helpful by guiding me to the restaurant. I will be coming back for dinner as they have live jazz every evening.“

“ABSOLUTELY phenomenal. If you’re even thinking about trying Ned’s New England Deck, just go! You won’t regret it. The owner, Steve, is so personable and you can tell he genuinely cares about his business. He made an effort to talk to us (even our 4-year-old), which was really sweet and made the whole experience feel more personal. I also loved how he hyped up his staff, you can tell they’re appreciated. The food though… wow. The brown butter lobster roll was seriously amazing! The soft, flavorful bread and the lobster was so buttery and sweet. I’ve had lobster rolls before (even at the beach), and this one honestly beats them. The fried fish melts in your mouth and the truffle fries are addicting. My family and I left so impressed. The food was incredible, and Steve’s kindness just made it even better. He even shared how to make one of their sauces at home, which was such a nice gesture. So again, thank you Steve and staff for an amazing dinner & becoming our go-to seafood spot. We can’t wait to try more and checkout the playroom upstairs!“

“Wow. This crawfish is unbelievable. I’m from the south (Texas) and this crawfish does Cajun better than anyone or any place I’ve ever been to. Garlic butter is a knock out 10/10 and I dare say their Cajun is 15/10. Came here twice a week. Might make a third visit again. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

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

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

“This was a separate occasion but every time I come to the falls church Masons, I always have a pleasant experience. I actually haven’t been here in a quite a while, but this time I came for dinner with my mom, my husband and my son (6 months old). There was a promo and the cashier helped us in figuring in the promo for all our orders. The food was delicious as always, and the young man that brought our food was so kind. I love coming here cause they always have a promo, or something special happening. The service and food is always through the roof amazing.“

“Today is my birthday. My mom tried to order jumbo crabs, but it was right when they first opened, so door dash showed they didn’t have them, but Josie came to the rescue!! Thanks Josie, heavy MD jumbo“

“The heart and soul of falls church! Always tasty and super accommodating for gluten free“

“todo muy riquísimo gracias muy buena atencion“

“The food was delicious, the tuna and the kebabs 🤤🤤 and the service was excellent, even the young woman with the tattooed arm, I think her name is Leslie, along with a couple of young men, Luis and Jett. I would definitely go back. Greetings from Tuxpan, Nayarit, Mexico“

“Lovely sashimi! Authentic Japanese dishes.“

“the food, the service and the drinks are all amazing. loved the decor as well. it is pricey but very shareable. Matt K. was the best server. Made us laugh and had a blast.“

“Food is fresh and hot. The Seafood here is amazing, but they do offer Non-Seafood items as well. The portion size is great. It’s worth the prices. Delicious.“

“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.“

“Yummy but expensive, large portion“

“As usually the food was excellent! I usually stick the the shrimp and like the signature Hot n Juicy sauces done spicy. Just enough kick without being overbearing. Savory and delicious. Highly recommend coming here if you haven’t already, especially if you call yourself being a seafood lover.“

“Literally some of the best steak I’ve ever eaten in my life. And I’m very picky about my steaks“

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

“This is our fourth time ordering from Chan’s Kitchen, and they’ve been very consistent. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and reliable, which is why we keep coming back. Friendly and welcoming staff.

The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the egg rolls can sometimes be a bit greasy, but tastes really good.
Overall, still a solid go-to spot for Chinese food and definitely recommended.“

“So happy to have Red’s within walking distance of my house. We recently took a group of friends there and were lucky to get the private room. Great food and service! Tried their oysters for the first time and they were really good.“

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

“We had a wonderful family meal! We were seated right away and service was personal and excellent! The food was great and everything came out as expected! Overall, while it is not cheap, I think it is a good value for the food and service you get!“

“Everything about this place is amazing!“

“I took my daughter to Hunan Cafe for dinner tonight after school, and she loved it so much she immediately declared it her new favorite restaurant — and demanded to write a review. Who am I to stand in the way of a tiny food critic?

Her review: “My mom brought me to dinner tonight and the food is amazing! Everything was so flavorful, and the crab Rangoon was perfectly crispy. The wonton soup, crispy beef, and General Tso’s chicken were great too!”

Safe to say we’ll be back!“

“I understand that it is incredibly challenging for a manager to determine the appropriate time to ask extremely loud patrons to pipe down a bit. The bar area was extremely loud with women who were frequent after-work guests squealing with the bartender who knew them and also with their friends and co-workers. That's understood and those customers usually filter out and don't stay too late. However, in the main dining room, there was a family of about 7-8 who had two inebriated women at their table who were so loud, and the group was there for so long, that it made me uncomfortable for ALL of the diners. Capital Grille is a wonderful dining experience and the bill for our group of four was several hundred dollars. For that level of experience I would expect that the setting would be comfortable. *Our server was extremely professional and friendly. The food was wonderfully prepared and top quality as to be expected at Capital Grille.“

“Food was excellent as was the service. Noise level a little high since there was two large parties and very loud. Made it hard to have a conversation at at two person table. Need to put in some sound abatement panels versus the hard wood current there.“
