50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Rolling Hills Estates

“My wife and I ate here after an appointment at UCLA. It looks like it was a once hoping spot. It is connected to a ghost town of an outside mall. This was our second time here. I don't know if there is a lot of crime, but it sure had a lot of cameras. It made us wonder if maybe that's why the area looks abandoned. The food was really good and the service matched.“

“Well it lived up to the hype. From one chef to another..bravovery well executed. Took a little long to get my food, and I would want a little more sauce and ramen and..ok fish too for the $48 it costs...but that sauce was amazing...some spicy fish tomato sauce or something whatever it was it was bomb. The desserts look tempting...Definitely some of the best food I've had for a while. I'll be back for sure..hopefully with a group so I can taste all their dishes.“

“The food was good! The Service Greeter with a large tattoo across her chest may need to improve her greeting skills. I found her to be unpleasant. We were very pleased with our host. The ambience provides the perfect setting for an intimate celebration. Grand atmosphere...“

“Had a great time. We had 5pm reservations and were seated promptly by a friendly hostess so the night was off to a good start. Cocktails were great (thanks Edgar) and our server was so friendly and cheery (so sorry I've forgotten her name). We ordered tons of food, scallops and calamari to start were really good. In fact, the scallops were EXCELLENT! All three in my party had the 16oz rib eye... soooooo good! We finished off with the tiramisu and creme brulee and both were delicious! After dinner we moved over to the bar side and had a couple more drinks before heading home FAT AND HAPPY!“

“Unfortunately they scaled down the fish offering and now have only 4-5 options (spicy ahi, sweet ahi, salmon and shrimp if I recall correctly) but everything is super fresh, handed with a big smile and you have an outdoor area to sit in the sun. Love the place. I would stick to the poke. Tried the meat tacos and the chips with smoked white fish and wasn't blown away.“

“I love the vegetarian tacos here! Especially the calabacitas, frijoles y queso, nopales and the quesadilla! The corn tortillas are so fresh and taste great. I recommend the Jamaica to drink, it's authentic and not too sweet (def not the premixed kind full of sugar).“

“I went to Fishbar for happy hour on a Thursday around 4pm. There was no wait and the hostess accommodated me when I asked for a table further away from the door. Our server Bailey was amazing and friendly! For apps we ordered the happy hour crab queso dip and calamari. The portion for the calamari was a bit small but was to be expected for happy hour. Crab dip didn’t have much crab not sure if that was a happy hour thing as well. Both apps were good though nonetheless. I ordered the Fishbar margarita which was $10 and a bit tart, I ordered the passion fruit margarita next and that was much better. For entrees, it was lobster Thursday so I ordered the whole main lobster special for $45.99 including 2 sides. The lobster was a bit over cooked but good overall. My girlfriend had the shrimp and scallop entree which was also good! Since it was out first time we got a dessert on the house. I will be back again!“

“I love this place! The food is delicious and are very generous with their lobster portions. Everyone who works there is absolutely lovely and accommodating. Check out their taco Tuesdays and their happy hour. Everything on the menu is phenomenal. Love the lobster tacos!!!!“

“Forget the cold government building style lights… This place is absolutely amazing. I love San Pedro for many reasons. One of those is the authentic south of the border cuisine. Of all the places I’ve been, this is hands-down, the best. Best fish tacos, One or two extra? Yes, thank you, we can throw them in the box… best, shrimp taco, best asada burrito, El Salvadoran style pupusa, absolute fire. A bargain at twice the price. So atmosphere isn’t as dialed as the food, let’s be honest, typically restaurants get it the other way around. This is a five star mouth party, a foodie playground that is overlooked or passed by at your sad expense. Dude… fire.?“

“The three of us shared the brussels sprout salad, which was absolutely delicious the lobster lollipop appetizer the robins Island steak, the scallop, potatoes, country bread, and for dessert we decided to top it off with the milk chocolate crème brûlée service was great as was the presentation. Nice wine list, I'll be back again and may order the same thing!“

“If you’re ever in the Southbay in LA do yourself a favor and source this seafood gem. It’s ALWAYS busy and I don’t like waiting in line but I will here. The benefit of seafood being fresh is because they sell enough that it’s always excellent. There providers must love the account and take good care of them.Okay, ceviche is a must do with tostada chips, avocado and a slew of hot sauces and a self serve salsa station that also offers marinated white onion ribbons and wonderful whole roasted yellow chiles dusted with a red tangy red spice.Tacos come with a variety of seafood options, I suggest the battered fish as a beginning test since you will come back for them anytime you go again, just trust this.Prices are reasonable and the staff are very happy, why not, everyone eating there are friggin happy too. Parking can be a buzzkill but you’ll figure it out.“

“By far the best Mexican food fairly priced in the area. My friend and I stopped by to dine in got to catch the Lakers game on the TV and the food was amazing. Will be back soon! The service was amazing the gentleman that served us was the best ever. 5 stars for everything. By the way, the beer... ICED COLD, COULDN'T BE COLDER. ?“

“My partner and I came in for breakfast. We had the Quiche and the American Breakfast. The quiche was very good but the fries it came with were not. The bacon that came with the American breakfast had good flavor but was overcooked. We also shared a pancake, we did like the pancake but felt it was a little undercooked. Overall a nice experience, but we expected more from the food. We might try again for other dishes.“

“I love Nick's Manhattan Beach. Great staff, wonderful atmosphere, and close to everything. However, I wish they had a few more vegan friendly options. It would make it a place I'd frequent more often.. As so many places near by do not have vegan options.“

“We enjoyed this restaurant, the food tasted very good, fresh ingredients and good size meal portions. I would definitely recommend this place.We enjoyed the restaurant, very pleased and satisfied with the food, the ingredients were fresh and the portions were a good size. The variety of dishes suits any palate.I definitely recommend the restaurant for a romantic date and/or a special event.“

“Phenomenal atmosphere, service, and food! We ordered the fresh kusshi oysters and bread rolls to start. my mom and sister had filets, I enjoyed the coffee rub ribeye. I've had a lot of steaks throughout my life, but this was by the far the best out of ANY steakhouse that I have been to. It was my mom and sisters birthday, and they have never been so pleased at a fine dining restaurant. Thank you to everyone for making it such a special dinner for everyone!“

“Nice setting, very cozy booths with glass partitions for some additional privacy. Twin lobster tail dinner entree was impressive. Large lobster tails. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Be on the look out for the multitude of water options. - sparkling - still - house filtered Usually still just means regular water, but here, that is "house filtered". The other options are an addition cost.“

“The waitresses were super nice and friendly. There was a little bit of a wait, but it wasn’t very long. I am a pescatarian and I did not realize the clam chowder has bacon in it. So watch out pescatarians. The shrimp and cocktail sauce is amazing though.“

“It’s such an amazing experience to get some fresh seafood there! We were looking for shrimp cocktail everywhere. It seems that shrimp cocktail is such an “old/ comfort” food now which is difficult to find nowadays! It was fresh and delicious!!!! And we got some clams, mussels, and shrimps with garlic butter which were delicious! The nice guy who helped, Brock, was so nice, helpful, and kind! We had such an amazing time, maybe also it’s a weekday and everyone there was having a blast!“

“I got there just before the dinner rush. The outside tables were filling up, and the bar was full. Great Service. The most amazing food. They gave complimentary homemade flour tortillas, butter, red salsa, and green avocado salsa. Wow best tortillas I ever had. Then finish off with the three most flavorful De Filet Mignon Tacos that just melted in my mouth. The meat is very tender, and the flavors are like a bite of heaven with every bite. JD the GM runs the place very well.“

“Got lucky today after arriving at LAX. On our way home we found this spot! Yelp gave 4.5 stars. Absolutely delighted with my experience at this pho restaurant! The food was incredibly delicious, showcasing authentic flavors that left my taste buds in awe. The ambiance was enhanced by the charming touch of traditional music, creating a delightful atmosphere. What truly stood out was the exceptional service - always delivered with a genuine smile. A 5-star gem that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking an outstanding dining experience!“

“Great seafood, reasonably priced. The Fish and chips plate is hands down the best fish and chips. Their salmon is always so good, they have a good number of seasonings they can throw on there for you. The catfish is really good, there's better out there but is still real good. All around, suck a good spot if you're looking for some good seafood.“

“One of my customer referred to me this cafe I have tried today’s was delicious I’m Mexican I’m a cook I’m enjoy a authentic Mexican food this cafe is so far from my own experience the best I have enfrijoladas for me my husband try the chorizo burrito breakfast was 10 out 10 delicious ?“

“Always consistently good food. Had the salmon and salad with brussel sprouts, and my friend had the grilled chicken sandwich. Seasoning was robust, but not too salty. Waitress was friendly, introduced herself, and had no problem with request for two checks for the table.“

“We were here for a bridal dinner in the private back room. Absolutely delicious!!! Fresh ingredients and everything made with love. Excellent service, beautiful atmosphere! The pasta was perfect and the appetizers were such a tasty start to an incredible meal.“

“What can I say other than Chef Melba's is absolutely incredible. We had a fantastic dinner there on Friday evening and shut the restaurant down. the food, the service, the camaraderie, the quaintness, the intimacy of the space is just on matched. . Also, the phenomenal food and a very personal experience as chef Melba comes to your table and makes sure you're satisfied with the meal. John, who is the head waiter? Make sure that we lack Nord need of anything as we were considered v. I p's. We have a special drink at the end of our experience.“

“I ordered fish and chips. The fish was beautifully fried. However, it was 3/4 batter 1/4 fish.All of the other entrees were good.The staff was attentive the food was was served fresh.Vegetarian options: Nice selection of meatless side dishes the brussel sprouts were quie tasty“

“If you have savvy taste buds go here! Also most importantly...Vegetarian Friendly! The salsas taste spicy and the beans are very creamy and developed. I can't wait to try the bean burrito in different variations. I absolutely loved my time dining at Mr. Valdez. Thank You Staff for a great experience!Vegetarian options: The cook was very well versed with diet restrictions and took great care with my order. The beans are lard free. Yay!“

“Hi Ruthie! Here's a 5-star review for your favorite Italian restaurant: I absolutely love dining at Nando! The authentic Italian food transports me right back to Italy with every bite. The ambiance is cozy and inviting. The staff is incredibly attentive and welcoming everytime we dine there. I highly recommend trying their gnocchi- it's my favorite item on the menu. Local insider tip - the family style lasagna for takeout is absolutely delicious and incredibly reasonably priced!“

“Visiting from SF, I was excited to check out this place on the Redondo Beach Marina. Great location, design and deck space. Food was OK and has room to elevate. Sourdough bread is the bomb. Hot and steamy. The Linguine Del Mar had good seafood, but was overpowered by too much sauce. And thick—vs. brothy sauce. Friendly service and would come again.“

“This was my first time trying this place. I decided to try their quesabirria with consume. To me it was sure good i enjoyed every bite of it with red salsa and lemon squeezed in my broth and sure did the dip on the quesabirria. Very crunchy was just good. Sure will be going to visit in person.“

“I'm writing an update, after having not visited in 7 years. Things have changed greatly. The front has been renovated to include a bar seating area. There is still a small rear dining room. The patio out front has been covered and new seating installed. Parking is still a headache. I dropped a star because they took my favorite pescado ranchero off the menu. Everything is still tasty as ever. Prices have gone up, but that is the case most everywhere these days.“

“Great food and service! I believe it's family owned and operated. Easy to miss, it's not a large restaurant and kind of hidden with surrounding businesses. The first time I had chicken tamales take out, delicious! Couldn't wait to go back. Next time,I had the combination of tacos, tamales, rice and beans. I get something different every time and have not been disappointed! Just writing this review makes my mouth water!“

“Surprisingly really loved the crunch roll ! The shrimp on top was fried in the same seasoned batter & really added a nice taste! The pieces of sole I ordered were very thin however i think If i didn't request for them to be "fried hard" it would've been ok, so that's on me. Would def try again :)“

“Crab-lovers: This place is for you! Best crab shack in SoCal. Colossal selection of live crabs. You pick it, the steam it. Manager is amiable and helpful. Staff are pros with cracking crab. They also leave white paper for you to cover the table. Great view of the ocean. But you have to leave a deposit for their clamps and hammers.“

“Oishi desu!! (It's delicious) I found this place by just searching for Japanese food near the botanical garden up the street. Needless to say, my search didn't fail me. The omakase meal set was so good!! We went here for Valentine's Day and I made a reservation a week ahead of time, just to be safe, but I don't think it was necessary. I think walk ins were being accepted. We both got the omakase set, one NY steak and one filet mignon. So good! Cooked to perfection. Ending the meal with dessert, we had a wide variety of selection. We got one green tea crème brûlée (WHICH IS SO GOOD! Would come back just for this) and one mango cake, which was also so good, tasting like a gummy. Overall, this place is presentable, and also surprisingly affordable for what you get. I would come back here for a special occasion.“

“Sushi was excellent, service was top-notch, staff was friendly. Only thing I would say knocked it down a rating was the calamari appetizer could have used a bit more flavor but I am being very picky. Still finished the whole thing! Not from the area but if I come back, I would go back here. They played electronic music, which I personally love, but can see how some folks may not like the vibe because of the music.“

“I’ve eaten here(well, I’ve never actually eaten inside the place), but, I’ve ordered take out on work days when I didn’t pack a lunch, and I’ve also ordered Bibingka for a get-together or two, and always had great results! Chicken, Beef, or Salmon Bowl? Can’t go wrong either way! Their Bibingka is delish, as well!“

“Thank you Joey for such delicious food! We loved the Sea Bass entree( cooked perfectly) and the Crab Cake Entree (love love the fennel ). Hot Milk Cake and Lava Cake just Wow! Will order again and again. The restaurant is lovely and the people who work there even more so. Emma and Alex made the evening so special for us. They both took time to share about the history of the restaurant and make recommendations about food and wine. We enjoyed the Whatchamacallit Chardonnay so much! This restaurant has locations across the U.S. and Canada yet feels local. Big thanks to Emma who made our anniversary dinner memorable. Be back soon!“

“This was my first time trying this place. I decided to try their quesabirria with consume. To me it was sure good i enjoyed every bite of it with red salsa and lemon squeezed in my broth and sure did the dip on the quesabirria. Very crunchy was just good. Sure will be going to visit in person.“

“Great restaurant with fantastic food, great views of the harbor, indoor and outdoor patio seating with a full bar. They're open 6 days a week but closed on Mondays. They also serve brunch. Plenty of parking too which is always a good thing, Definitely recommend this fine family owned restaurant that has been in San Pedro for nearly 40 years.“

“This restaurant offers plenty of seating and welcomes walk-ins during weekdays, making it easy to visit on a whim. The place is vibrant and arguably the best spot in the Torrance area for authentic Japanese cuisine at reasonable prices. I had the Shirasu Ikura Don, Roast Beef Don, a seafood bowl, and curry. Although primarily a sake bar, it serves substantial meals that are highly recommendable. A must-visit for anyone craving genuine Japanese flavors!“

“Just ordered lunch, fresh, great portions! Ordered a shrimp burrito ? 1 grilled fish taco, 1 fried fish taco and tacos dorado's. Everything was really great but there was a little too much of the mayo type sauce on the dorados I'll order separately next time. Loved the spicy green salsa.“

“Coni has my Heart. What a delicious place to eat some delicious seafood. Everything is authentic and fresh..their service is very good and plates are a nice size. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants fresh seafood that tastes delicious I also really like that it's a small restaurant and we try and support local Businesses .“

“I came here to order takeout. Miku greeted me and took my order promptly. She was friendly and personable.My food was packed well for travel. This was the first time I ordered takeout. Food was delicious as expected and a nice variety of tempura.“

“The duck is incredible!!! Period! My food was so good that I totally forgot to take a picture of my plate before I started eating ? I loved it and will go back! Wrist check, I am wearing the Seiko Presage Prestige SARX045 JDM release on the Hirsch Liberty leather strap.“

“We went there for my girlfriend‘s birthday and I have to say it was pretty spectacular. We had a drink at the bar. The bartender was very attentive and accommodating. The hostess came and sat us down when we were ready to be seated. Our waiter was well informed and told us about all of the specials. We didn’t want for anything. Everything was delivered to our table on time we weren’t rushed. Everything was delicious and well prepared. The food is very very good. Amazing actually. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody.“

“Tonight we made reservations at Tranys for our daughter’s 20th birthday. We were impressed by the exceptional atmosphere, service and esquisite food offerings. We began with oysters-chefs selection le ______. The 1/2 dozen oysters offered such a delectable oceanic tasting that even our 10 year old was compelled toTry her first oyster. Thereafter we shared the 2pnd ribeye, flat iron steak, mushroom gnocchi and squash blossoms. It was all exceptionally prepared. We had to try a couple of desserts. We selected a gelato Oreo, espresso shots & a caramel pana cotta. Incredible exceptional, the best food ive had in the South Bay. Bravo.“

“I ordered the Fried Shrimp Bowl and I love how the sriracha Mayo packs a great punch with delicious creamy flavor. Pairs well with a coke.The experience was overall very positive! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and the place is super clean. Food was ready within 5 minutes.“
