Seafood Restaurants near Foothill Ranch

“Relatively fresh and tasty, and much better than the typical Panda Express in the area. Entrees are made fresh to order. Their lunch specials available from 11 to 3 pm are the best if you are on your own. Dinner entrees are available but a little more pricey but with a lot more food (bring a friend or partner to dine). I especially like their take on Orange chicken served with Chow Mein. Doordash and to-go available.Parking: Shopping center parking. Now that storefront spots are capped for either 15 or 30 minutes only (except handicap spots), so if you are dining in, be sure to park in the broader lot.Wheelchair accessibility: Nearby storefront parking available. Single manual door. Wheelchair accessible counter.“

“Quick, quality, and consistent. Freaking love this place. Get the Steak California Burrito!Parking: Basically unlimited. Huge lotKid-friendliness: Super kid friendly, tea spot next door has claw games tooWheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible.“

“My favourite restaurant… when I’m working near here I eat here every night. Staff are all lovely- Dominic always greets me like an old friend and I usually get my favourite table. The menu is simple and steady but everything always perfectly cooked and presented, nice and hot. The new key lime pie is great too.“

“My family decided to eat lunch here. We had ceviche, chowder for appetizers and scallops, fish and chips, and sea bass for the main entrees. All tasty and came with great portions. All seafoods and salads are extremely fresh and refreshing with lemon flavored sauces. Servers are very kind. One downside is that fried sea bass was very dry and not tender at all. Halibut was juicy and tender but dried Sea Bass?“

“Overall experience was great- our waiter was not overly attentive once he found out we would not be drinking and felt frustrated that we were not ready to order immediately once our final party member arrived. The food was really good and it was a bit noisy initially but quieted a bit as dinner went on.“

“We love Ironwood and frequent it regularly. One of the draws is Coty. An energetic, sweet, fun and always smiling manager. We will give the new guy a chance .... But I just can't see him being a positive addition. We tried to engage him last night ..but he just lacks the personality for a restaurant with so many young and energetic employees. Time will tell.“

“I love this place, the food is delicious and exclusive, the chef does a great job. The atmosphere is perfect, you enjoy your stay in the restaurant. The welcome is always very friendly and the service is respectful, friendly and helpful. Super recommended, don't hesitate to enjoy a good dish and an incredible atmosphere, it's worth it.“

“Always fantastic.The kung pow calamari is delicious.Tonight I tried the Roasted Cauliflower, amazing with olive oil pesto, Hummis. I'm sure to have it again.Its busy for the Pagent of the Masters, so get there early.Update: As alway great food, great service. I love the roasted cauliflower. I have noticed the portion of cauliflower has gotten larger, almost a whole cauliflower.The prices have gone up slightly, to be expected in these times of continued inflation.I will continue to return for more great food and service.Vegetarian options: Salads and Cauliflower“

“Convenient parking may be available in front of restaurant. There are only a handful of tables with seating for about 36 people. Always full so reservations are recommended.The service is friendly and efficient. They’re very keen to ensure you enjoy your stay and your meal. The hospitality is top notch and we enjoyed our lunch. Our first time here and we are bookmarking this place to come back.The food is delicious, generous portions and meats are wonderfully well seasoned and tender.The decor is pleasant and comfortable. The restaurant is clean and well maintained. Great dining experience!“

“Such a fun atmosphere and excellent food! Our server Gabriel was friendly and helpful. He recommended the chile relleno and the Branzino and both were uniquely delicious. We also ordered the octopus ceviche for an appetizer and it was tender with incredible flavor. We also shared their homemade soft serve ice cream which was the best I’ve had. We shared this between 4 people and it was plenty of food. We are full, happy, and can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend if you want a great meal in a beautiful place!“

“Top notch Sushi! I've been coming here since they opened and I'm in love with this place. First, Chef Masa is the nicest most friendly Chef there is, and all his staff are friendly and spot on with water refills and quick service. The fish he gets is some of the freshest and best quality out there. For cooked food Try the salmon collar. It's the melt in your mouth part of the salmons neck and cheek, and prepared expertly! Everything I've had, from the fresh oysters, the halibut carpaccio, the Takowasa, and Takoyaki, they spicy yellow tail lover roll and al the sashimi- has been perfect. Can't recommend enough !“

“Met a friend for happy hour at the bar. The female bartender was very friendly and acknowledged my presence immediately. Since the restaurant wasn't busy, my drink was made quickly. The happy hour menu has a nice selection of food choices to choose from and I ordered the cheese pizza which was excellent. Just the right amount of sauce and cheese on top of a delicious thin crust. As for the ambiance, it's a fairly typical bar with at least 8 seats at the bar and enough tables to seat multiple parties. If you're looking for good food, a cold drink and a local place to meet a friend, give Antonucci's a try.“

“OPAH is a sure thing! I had the mahi mahi with the French onion soup -it was excellent! You get what you pay for & I would pay for this meal again & again! Kevin is an outstanding personable server & he is the reason we like to go! He brings professionalism to his work and is so knowledgeable. I would go to OPAH just to see him!“

“Ambience was wonderful, our waiter suburb, my lamb rack , above and beyond. My husband ordered ravioli with lobster scallops, shrimp. Really. 5 star meal and service,feel fortunate that they are here in Mission Viejo!! Love this restaurant ❤️“

“Not sure if my review was posted but....Will come here again... Alonzo was an excellent waiter....very kind and patient..took the time to answer my questions and made sure I had a good dining experience... The loaded baked potato was delicious.. perfect place for a birthday dinner...“

“You know that type of family that you dread coming to visit you but you have to be nice to them because they only visit once every few years? Yeah... I made the mistake of bringing a family member here yesterday. She was so rude to the waiter. The waiter was wonderful, answered all of our questions, helped with recommendations, and checked up on us often. And even when the family member in question was rude to the waiter and kept trying to show him pictures of a restaurant she visited overseas on her phone. The waiter very politely viewed her photos and described the dishes she had eaten. The waiter was very professional! The food was amazing and it was a good amount of food for the price. They have vegetarian options and meat options for us carnivores. The restaurant was empty since this restaurant is hidden from street view but it is worth the trip. I know I will be ordering from here more often and leaving that rude family member at home. Thank you to the cooks and the staff at this restaurant! You are all amazing! Great food, quiet environment, and professional staff. The dessert was also very tasty! Fresh mango and vanilla pudding. Delicious! They also have take-out and a huge menu to choose from. Don't skip out on this place! Leave the mean family members at home and eat here.“

“I just love kings fish house! The food is great, the atmosphere is comfy and our waitress was awesome! I absolutely love the miso yaki sea bass. The sauce is too gingery for me. So, I just order the sea bass without it. Five stars all around.Dietary restrictions: My son has a very bad dairy allergy and our waitress made sure that nothing with dairy was served to him.“

“Atmosphere is nice. Inside dining and outside. Service was good. They're very kind and amazing here. I've had there lomo Saltado and pariuella in the past. Both fire. Today tried something new. The Peruvian paella was soooo fire. Also my wife had the pollo saltado that she said was great as well. Thanks Inkas....“

“The atmosphere was welcoming. The decor was beautiful! The calamari was to die for!!! I had the yellowtail with steak, Brussels sprouts, and mash w/ crab top... my bf had salmon with steak, corn, and mash w/crab top... they both were amazing! Our server Robert was the sweetest and the manager was great. All the staff were nice!“

“This place is 3 minutes from my office. Friendly staff, quick service, and great quality poke bowl! I come here to treat myself now and again. 10/10 recommend. Dining inside is a bit of a tight squeeze, so I highly suggest you come before the lunch time rush or just take out. :)“

“Came in for a quick poke bowl on my way to tour some homes in Mission Viejo. Staff was friendly and helpful. The poke quality was good and the available toppings were good.Avocado was extra but a must. Free miso soup.I will definitely come back when I’m in the area.“

“This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in this area. It's fast, consistent, and great portions. I have been coming to the Lake Forest location since 2006 and haven't had a single bad experience. I mostly order the Carne Enchiladas combo and a side of guacamole. My #2 choice is the chicken platter. Comes with tortillas and a big portion of chicken. You can make little tacos with it and mix the remainder together. If you get the fish options, it's better when it's blackened.“

“i came because "haha, funny peppinos pizza tower gif, haha" but it was actually really good. really good sauce and dough was chewy but soft, super good pizza for real. if yall is coming from mexico or from like i5 check this place out frfr on god no cap. also funny pizza tower hahahaha so funny“

“The BEST FISH place ever and super healthy menu! Made perfectly and freshly warm and served ! amazing customer service always! My boyfriend and I always go there , they also have happy hours menu which is has great deals! 10/10 definitely recommend !!“

“I picked up a quick lunch here to go. I got the cooked salmon crab salad and a lot of different toppings. It was super simple and quick, there was only one person in front of me in line. The location itself is very clean, even with only one employee that I saw working there. My bowl was very tasty and I plan on coming again soon.“

“The food here is fantastic! The fish is lightly battered, so you actually taste fish! Unlike most fish and chips where you get suvh a heavy battered fish, it's hard to eat. Spikes uses all the best fish and fresh ingredients in all their food.The staff is always friendly and helpful.“

“I've come here a couple times and ordered to go. Their grilled kebabs are exceptional. I ordered the family platter which comes with grilled meat kebabs and chicken kebabs. They were tender and juicy. Absolutely delicious. However the portion was small and not really meant for a family. Tried a couple of their sweets for Eid and I loved them too. Authentic middle eastern food.“

“So Good! First time here! Decided to try it. Everything is so fresh and yummy! i got the grilled salmon bowl with rice, kimchee, chimichurri sauce, Garlic aioli with a crab scoop on top! WOW is all i can say. Next time i will get the 1/2 n 1/2 rice and salad. the rice was so filling. The regular size is more than enough. I still have 1/2 left for dinner now. ;-)“

“Service was fast and friendly, food was good and at the right temp. Had the chips and salsa to start with a side of refried beans which I recommend you order; a cold chelada, which is beer and lime juice, that hit the spot on that warm day. The only thing I would say was a miss was the margarita, a bit too sweet for me, fixed that by switching to the chelada.“

“I recently dined here and I must say, the experience was truly exceptional, thanks in large part to the amazing bartender, Krystal. From the moment I sat down at the bar, I was greeted with a warm smile and impeccable service.Not only was she incredibly knowledgeable about the extensive drink menu, but she also took the time to recommend a few signature cocktails that suited my taste preferences. Each drink was expertly crafted and very delicious. She went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Their attention to detail and friendly demeanor made me feel welcome and valued as a customer.Overall, my visit was made memorable by the exceptional service provided by their talented bartender. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for not only delicious food but also an unforgettable dining experience. I will definitely be returning soon to enjoy more of their delightful cocktails and hospitality.“

“Krin roll: deep fried crab shushi. Taste great. Hamachi: big portion grilled hamachi fresh and tasty! Veggie salad on the side is ok. Lunch combo: our friend likes it. The fish looks delicious. Also ordered grilled squid (ika yaki). Fresh and yummy.“

“More like a fast food place than a dining experience. Food was done well the parking was sufficient everything was very clean and the staff was friendly. Every plate I seen looked done well nothing looked over sucked which tends to happen in these type of places. So I would say they’re on the top of the list for this type of a restaurant/food place.“

“This place is a hidden gem! The staff is so sweet and attentive! Especially Sandra and Jorge! They always take great care of us when we are here. You need to get the tacos de Asada! & also the shrimp cocktail. Delicious! I've gone back 3 times since I found this place.“

“You know it's the best when a business is "unclaimed" and still popular - seriously the BEST pupusas around! We are used to eating really good pupusas having lived in downtown la for a few years so when we moved to Irvine I was looking for a pupuseria and so glad we found El Paraiso!“

“I used to go to this place alllll the time growing up and haven't been in forever. It's just as good as I remember it! We started with the 3 stews and the tahdig. The gheymeh was on point today! It was sour and perfect. We also ordered the chicken soltani combo that came with chicken barg and beef koobideh. Both the chicken barg and koobideh were juicy and full of savory goodness. I like to do half rice and half salad so I'm not eating so much rice plus the dressing on the garden salad is tangy yet a little creamy. You haaaave to get the maast moosir with it - it's like OG sour cream and onion (Persian version). It's a thick savory yogurt with shallots in it. Eat all your food with a bite of this. You'll thank me later. Our server Miriam was a real pro making sure we got everything we needed! She was always refilling our drinks.“

“We went on Easter Sunday and everything was delicious. The spice level guide on the menu is very helpful. Our server Lily was very friendly and helped us decide what to get, we had the half roast duck with pancake wraps, Dan Dan noodles, oxtail soup (not pictured) and mochi pieces for dessert. The duck was delicious and the Dan Dan noodles were perfect (I requested them mild). This place has a lot of options, it was hard to choose but we really enjoyed everything. The atmosphere is great as well, it’s decorated beautifully inside and we took a couple of photos because we thought it was so nice.“

“Amazing food! I love the Ensenada fish burrito and my girlfriend loves the chicken bowls. The service is always great! The beans and rice are phenomenal. The only issue is no matter how many times we ask for extra beans we are unable to get them. Amazing restaurant, great food and service, just please give us our beans.“

“Wahoos is one of many places my man and I love to eat. It's healthy, has great options! Thursday February 28th 2024 I will say had the best customer service! We were greeted with Kassandra P (says on the receipt hehe) Before us she was with a customer and did multitasking. When it was our turn She didn't hesitate to greet us at all! There was another woman that was working with her that also provide great customer service while we received our food and she checked up on us to make sure everything is ok. Kassandra also did that as well and kindly took our plate/trash. We both thank her and the other woman. The food was amazing! I think my man and I agree this location of wahoos might be the best we've been at. I say give it a try!“

“Good experience. Friendly staff. This Chinese food was better than any we've had so far in the RSM area. Orange chicken had thick breading and Kung Pao was not spicy enough. Fried Shrimp was excellent. One speciality noodle dish was very good and different. Had a touch of curry. We will go again. Kid friendly.Kid-friendliness: Staff was very nice to our 3 small children, 5, 7 and 9. Our 3 are pretty well behaved though.Wheelchair accessibility: Good spacing between tables.“

“Nice place to have some good food at good prices. Enjoyed the loaded carnitas nachos-need more carnitas though, kind of more like bean and cheese loaded nachos lol. Tried the 2 crispy fish tacos citrus style, awesome! The churro chips were great too plus a great deal! Plus nice little salsa bar inside. All delicious!! ;-))“

“We grabbed a bite to eat here also over the weekend. I was anxious to try their Fish House Pokie Bowl meal. It was off the charts good. I have been wanting to come here for the longest time. We enjoyed the Pokie blwls. Good fresh seafood here. Nice atmosphere and vibe. Had a nice young waitress take care of us. So the customer service was on point . May be our go to spot.“

“Honestly, I've been to Maztlan and Culiacan and damn does the ceviche at Emporio remind me of the authentic flavors of Sinaloa. I had the Badiraguato & Tropical tostadas, aguachiles, langostinos and it was fire!! I literally want to go every weekend! Recommend recommend, recommend! Also, whomever handles their IG, great job! Right when I think I'm over my addiction they pull me back in with their IG story! Must try!!“

“Food has changed so much since the “beginning” days. It’s still good but not “amazing good” like it used to be. The chicken is a bit dryer now, the salad is not as fresh and the vinaigrette is more sour. The dressing used to be more perfectly balanced and so good, I wanted a bottle of it at home but it’s just overly sour. The bread was burnt. I hate when good restaurants don’t stay consistent. Either case it’s a healthy good lunch, just miss what it used to be…(Irvine Spectrum location)“

“FOOD- 5 Stars Service-3 Stars Ambiance-3Stars Don't expect a good service in this Restaurant as they really busy , and sometimes even rude., try to kick your ass out , to serve the nx costumer, Food quality , I should say a place to go around Lake Forest Area. Ambiance- No ambiance.“

“Quick food, check! Great service, check! Delicious, double check! This place is great. I was not a fan of the chicken taco, but I mean the place is called fish grill. The shrimp tacos were to die for. Also nice you can have a glass of wine and they bring you actually glassware. Ample outdoor and indoor seating. Employees are nice, hard working, and helpful.This place again is a hybrid of fast casual and sit down, so don’t expect full service, but in my opinion you should still expect to tip since there is service.“

“Hugh parking lot. Great outdoor or indoor service. You go to the counter to order and receive a number and when food is ready they bring it to the table. I had two fish plate. Swai and salmon with quinoa. Great choice. Hot food grilled just perfect and quinoa very healthy. Well, I figured as long as it was so healthy I order Key Lime . My GOD I want a hundred of that dessert. Just say Lenore sent you ENJOY“

“Great, quick place down nestled by a beautiful beach. Highly recommend if you’re looking for flavorful Mexican food for reasonable prices down by the beach. Highly recommend the shrimp enchilada and the catch of the day. Salsa and guacamole was very good as well.“

“Pretty and cute spot. The hostesses are very sweet. The English muffin was burnt and the Hollandaise sauce was barely there. Service is okay. A little pushy on time. I ordered a meal, and was given the check half an hour after it arrived. There’s a 90 minute allotment. Make what you will of that!“

“Food is fantastic for the price and quality. $20 salmon and sole combo with 2 sides is great. My preferred sides are zucchini and tomato/feta. Fries are good tooNever ate there, only pickup. Pickup kinda just sits there so be on timeParking: Parking is mid. Sometimes tons of spots, sometimes gotta walk a bit“

“This restaurant has a good variety of authentic Chinese dishes. We got the braised pork ($14.95), lamb casserole ($14.95), and eggplant ($9.95). For the price, I have to say I was impressed! The braised pork had mostly really tender pieces and great flavor. The lamb casserole had a strong lamb flavor and delicious noodles in it! I thought the lamb pieces were kind of tough. The eggplant was delicious. We asked for less spicy, and it was perfect.“
