Rank 1. Walt's Wharf
Seafood
The oak grill has been running at Walt's Wharf since before Seal Beach had a Yelp page, and the menu reads like someone actually cares where the fish came from. This is a sit-down seafood restaurant with a serious California sensibility: local catch, local vegetables, and wines from the founding family's own vineyard poured alongside. The room draws regulars who come for the grilled trout and stay for the oysters, and nobody's in a hurry to leave.

Rank 3. Koi Japanese Cuisine
Japanese
A neighborhood Japanese restaurant in Seal Beach where the chefs know the regulars by name and the regulars never need a menu. The sashimi lineup alone draws them back, moving from kampachi and clam through several varieties of oyster before landing on nigiri finished with quiet precision. Nothing here is trying to be trendy, and the room seems glad about that. The Michelin Guide has it listed among its selected restaurants.
