32 Best Seafood Restaurants in Philadelphia

“The Food was Fresh ad Incredible“

“Over the top experience. Everything was perfect.“

“Customer service was exceptional. Seating area was a bit small but everyone was so friendly and worked as a team. Honestly the best service I ever had. I went for restaurant week and ordered the shrimp creole. Omg I cleaned my plate and was still salivating over the idea of more when I got home. My partner ordered the crab soup and the salmon. Eyes rolled in the back of his head y’all. Everything was so well and for my first time they left a lasting impression. Would definitely dine here again. I’m just disappointed the shrimp creole isn’t on the regular menu.“

“I had the best sushi omakase experience here. It’s quality sushi put together right in front of you. You are served 15 pieces of gourmet sushi, one piece at a time. I especially enjoyed the smoked salmon, wagyu sushi, raw shrimp, and the oyster. They were outstanding. The edible gold sprayed onto the sushi was special. It’s BYOB so bring your favorite beverage with you. Enjoyed and savored every piece of sushi.“

“The food is amazing and not the typical Vietnamese offering. The restaurant switches up the menu quite frequently, so you almost never know what is going to be available when you go there. It is definitely a great date place and it is located in a very fun neighborhood.“

“We came for lunch and it really hit the spot. A variety of oysters are on the menu and we had fun trying all of them. The grilled salmon salad was excellent, especially if you like arugula. The salmon was so wonderfully cooked, melty inside and nice char outside. The fries are also delicious.“

“Had a great meal with a good friend from Louisville. Sat outside, ordered a nice bottle of Silver Oak Cabernet, appetizers and a great entrees ... salmon and halibut. Boston our server was attentive, food delicious and entire wait staff friendly. Great place !!“

“We visited Pera and it is great to know that the restaurant met expectations and was consistent with the excellent review in the PHiladelphia Inquirer.“

“IT WAS DELICIOUS! Definitely worth the trip and price! I will be back!“

“This place is such a great little spot! I always come here to get the pork belly banh mi and summer rolls. So delicious. The lady who works the front counter is also very sweet.It’s definitely more of a takeout place but they do have a little bit of seating that you can dine in and sit at.I’ve dined in here, gotten take out, and have gotten delivery and the food is always on par no matter which one I do.“

“This place is a gem . Don’t know why it wasn’t busy as hell when we went there because the service was great, the food was easily the best Chinese I’ve had in the city, and the portions were at least twice the size of any other place I’ve been to. Expect family style and leftovers . Orange chicken , hot and sour soup , scallion ginger shrimp and salt and pepper tofu are all perfected versions of themselves.“

“Amazing, 10/10. Reminds me of my home town pho restaurants. Great for small gatherings. Food came out relatively quick and they were kinda busy. Flavorful. Shaking beef sooooo good. Would totally come again. Attentive staff. Nice ambiance. Though they assumed one of my family members couldn't use chopsticks so they gave him a fork. Thoughtful I guess but he was fine with chopsticks. LOL. Anyways pretty clean place. Tight parking.“

“Great service and great food!“

“For a fast food seafood restaurant this place is legit good. The only thing I have tried I didn't like is the Mac n cheese. The fries and sweet potato fries are delicious. My favorite thing to order is the shrimp boil with broccoli. The broccoli is absolutely delicious and much healthier than ordering fries. The shrimp is always fresh and some of the best I've ever had. I've The prices are extremely reasonable.“

“I eat soul food at different places in America, and I will say this is one of the best soul food I tasted, top ten , up there with soul food places like roscoe chicken and waffle in LA, it was a spritual experience, with almost the perfect amount of seasoning, the hot food, amount of food, polite customer service, I can go on and on, Ms daisy is not playing.“

“It was their last day of business. I will miss this gem in West Oak Lane. It was always a good time had at this neighborhood restaurant. A Black owned business that gave their community the very best‼️ Great run, Bynum brothers. Your dad, Mr. Ben, would be so proud of how you have taken his legacy to the next level and have established your family name throughout the city of Philadelphia. Thank you for the great times @ Relish?“

“good food good people go get u sum“

“Probably the best Cantonese food you'll find in the center city Philly area. The taste to price ratio is excellently high. The barbecue meats are the best here. If you go, definitely order them at least. Service was fine, don't really care as the food is excellent. Standard restaurant atmosphere nothing noteworthy.“

“Fresh or frozen, it's all here! The freshest cuts of restaurant quality fish all cut and trimmed right there on the premises. Lot of prepackaged options, including Fruits De Mer brand seafood and homemade fishcakes and crabcakes just like you enjoyed from the old Ippolito's shop in South Philly.“

“We saw this on Instagram and traveled from Symrna to see what the hype was about. When I tell you it’s was all that more. Everyone was so nice and pleasant. The food was amazing this is a gem❤️“

“Very small neighborhood restaurant, if you want most authentic you know these places are the best. Service was great, speaks both English and Khmer. It was so cold yesterday so a nice hot bowl of Cambodian noodle soup was perfect! And of course when you can't say no to the soup but also want the dry version, do both, yum!!“

“I don't usually care Chinese food but I had some of Danny's at a cousin oh mines party and it was delicious. I decided to go to the restaurant one day because I was craving Chinese food and I got wings and shrimp fried rice the food was amazingly delicious and fresh. The restaurant took me by surprise because it was nice and clean which you don't usually see in Chinese food locations. The prices were average and the service was good. I would definitely visit again.“

“You will not be disappointed, from the ambiance, the friendly, professional service and the delicious food!“

“Really great. I had the Chongqing spicy broth, wagyu, head on prawns, scallops, and lamb as my meats and went crazy in the self serve area. Great quality meats and vegetable selection. Broth was good, service was good. I had to wait for about 1 hour because you cannot make a reservation for a 2 top, but it was well worth it. I left completely satisfied for 40 dollars plus tax, no uncharged. Highly recommended.“
