High praise for this hidden gem in Bellaire. Family owned and operated. Our group was greeted by the owner, Michael, and the very funny server Maxine. Everything was detailed and you can feel how passionate they are about the food. We started off with the Gumbo and Lobster Bisque. The gumbo has a nice roux and full of flavor with shrimp, rice, and other tasty bits. The lobster bisque was one of my favorites of the evening with a rich and creamy texture. 5/5 Following the soup, we had some of the freshest Prince Edward Island oysters in Houston. We didn't try the Gulf oysters in this visit but our neighbor said they were delicious and looked huge. Next we had a ribeye steak with pasta and broccoli as the side. The steak was cooked perfectly and didn't need any sauce but the in house sauce that came with the steak had so much umami flavor, made by Michael as well. Can't wait to come back and try some of the other items on our next visit! Thanks for the wonderful hospitality and experience from end to end. read more

We had a pre-dinner stop at 7 Seas. Place was busy at the main counter so we seated ourselves on one of the side tables. We ordered 2 dozen gulf oysters. They were plump, fresh and delicious! Who would think to go for oysters in Chinatown? We wanted to order the crab fingers but they ran out. There are a ton of host sauces available. Posted left to right in terms of favorites. The truffle hot sauce elevates the oyster with truffle taste. We received oyster future recommendations to try like the one from Louisiana and the giant oyster from Seattle. Will be back. read more

I wouldn't expect an oyster bar to be in Bellaire, but 7 Seas was beyond expectation! I've found my new favorite place for oysters. Shout out to Michael, the owner, for being so welcoming and for taking the time to give all the recommendations! We started off with jumbo crab fingers as an appetizer. The house-made tartar sauce was great. We did a sampler of the Prince Edward Island oysters from Canada. They were so fresh, clean, with hints of sweetness in their own different ways. This was a nice contrast to gulf oysters that tend to be more brine-y. We stepped it up some with dressed oysters. The Millionaire Oysters were deep fried and topped with uni and caviar. Enough said. 10/10. The gumbo was thinner than what I'm used to but still delicious. Enjoyed our micheladas with the oysters. Can't wait to come back again soon! read more

Came here for the first time on Thanksgiving night, we had such a great experience here. Located in the main Chinatown plaza, next to an arcade. The place is small but they were able to accommodate our group of 6. We were craving a light snack and decided to swing by and we were so glad we did! The service was amazing, he was thorough with his explanations on the curations and preparations. The seafood was all very very fresh. We ordered the pink oysters and the Kumamoto oysters. We also ordered their scallops sashimi and their millionaire oyster both fried and raw. The fried was the original style that's topped with uni and caviar and I must say I really appreciated the contrast in texture. The batter was the perfect amount of crisp without getting soggy from the uni. A lot of flavor and umami. I highly recommend to check out this place! read more

My bf kept bragging about taking me here. For weeks we finally went. The oysters are so fresh and delicious. We also had the pasta with lobster and lump crab meat with truffle. I wish I took pictures. I would definitely recommend checking this place out. 5 stars don't do it justice. Micheladas were also hands down yummy. Place is clean and very friendly establishment. Going back very soon read more

7 Seas Oyster Bar - Uni on an oyster. - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

Classic sea-oyster-bar vibes, wonderful service, and a uniquely curated liquor selection. Even the hot sauce collection alone deserves a shout out. And the food? Wow! The shucker traveled to learn the art of shucking and it shows. The oysters were perfect. My personal favorites were the pink moons and charbroiled Rockefellers but you wouldn't regret getting a sampler and trying them all. Don't skip the seven seas fried rice with fresh live lobster and other sea friends. Rumor has it the team hopes to open another concept and it's the first time I've felt regret that I'm moving from Houston. But before that move we'll be sure to return for the tomahawk and uni pasta, oh, and more oysters obviously. read more

NEW FAVORITE SEAFOOD SPOT UNLOCKED! This has officially become one of my favorite seafood restaurants. I'll be back again and again because the service, food quality, and atmosphere were all exceptional. Ian took incredible care of me at the bar, giving a full presentation of different sakes, Japanese whiskeys, and an amazing lineup of fresh seafood. The uni was outstanding. I even got to hold a live lobster before they prepared my stuffed lobster, which made the experience even more memorable. The oyster presentation is truly a hidden gem. I didn't want to share it, but I also want this restaurant to stay around forever. Go support them and enjoy every bite. Happy hour is anting and they stay open late!!! You will defiantly thank me later! read more

If I'm being honest, this place is so easy to overlook because it's nestled in the heart of Chinatown in the Great Wall plaza where there are just so many places to try... but you shouldn't overlook it and give it a try. If you're craving fresh oysters, this is a great place to check out. They have a good variety of oysters that are fresh and delicious. I also tried their fried seafood and that was perfectly fried. The crisper exterior was well seasoned and the fish was perfectly flaky. I also thought the nautical theme was cute. The owner was really nice and service was good as well. I will say that while they have high chairs for kids, the tables are all high tops, so I would suggest bringing a high chair that's attachable to a table, or be prepared to put the high chair on top of the bar stool. read more

7 Seas Oyster Bar - 7 Seas Combo 3 Shrimp 2 Catfish Filet - 5/5 - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

I found myself looking for a place to eat after work today. For the past month, I have been dedicating Fridays for seafood and was looking for restaurants beforehand. One restaurant, I recalled from my times I was in the plaza stood out, 7 Seas Oyster Bar. I had to give it a try. On a Friday night, I was a bit surprised that the restaurant did not have any customers. My cousin and I had the restaurant to ourselves at the bar. I decided to go with the dozen gulf oysters, dozen oysters Rockefeller, and 7 Seas platter. I have not had oyster in a while but I do enjoy it when the opportunity presents itself. They are a good size and came with the horseradish, cocktail sauce and lemon slices. The oyster Rockefeller is favorite for me, since it does get dressed with the cheese. Both were flavorful. The 7 seas platter was a nice pick too. You get a mix of catfish fillets, shrimp, hush puppies, and fries with tartar sauce and cocktail sauce. Nice breading on the fish and shrimp and the hush puppies and fries had a nice crispy bite to it. Overall I enjoyed the visit to 7 Seas Oyster Bar. In a very busy plaza, this is a hidden gem spot. The staff and owner/manager were very nice. If I am in the mood for oysters, I definitely know where to go. The price is reasonable and I liked the decor in the restaurant plus the boat shaped bar. It is a nice breath of fresh air when there is something not Asian cuisine related. But one issue is the parking in a lively area. No concerns for me. read more

This place is very clean and cute! Probably have a total of 20 seats by the bar and two additional table so I don't think it's an ideal choice for a large party. Oysters are very fresh and they have different varieties along with many off the menu items. They are accommodating on mixing different type oysters. Wait staffs are very knowledgeable on what they sell and everything is AMAZING! I do wish they would label the type of oysters when they bring it out like many other seafood places at this price point but other than that, I do believe everyone should make this a go to spot for oysters! read more

First dinner club of 2025! 7 seas kept showing up in my online groups so we went to check it out. Small place with a U shaped bar in the middle and 2 additional bartops along the side walls. Bar only seating makes it harder for groups of 4+ to talk to each other. Service was friendly and most of the food came out very quickly. Super fresh never frozen seafood! Very nice selection of oysters (they were out of gulf) and a good variety of other dishes. Beer and wine available. We had: oysters - we tried almost all of them gumbo boudin puppies lobster crab stuffed with alfredo noodles catfish (this was supposed to be a shrimp and catfish combo but we didn't notice) shrimp cocktail chargrilled oysters - both rockefeller and garlic There were a couple order and billing mishaps but they were handled promptly. They've been open for a few months so maybe still some little things to work out. read more

Wow! I wish I could give higher than 5 stars. Excellent friendly service and a warm environment to start with. I had such a good experience with family, and we look forward to coming back. We all enjoyed the raw sashimi lobster and the raw scallops. For the oysters, our favorites were the Gulf Oysters but the Japanese and Canadian oysters were extremely sweet as well. Even the chicken wings that we ordered from the menu were delicious and well-battered. Our dine-in experience was overall an amazing time and everything from service to the food and hospitality exceeded expectations. Otherwise, I wouldn't be writing this review! We look forward to recommending this place to friends and family and hope to see everyone here soon again, especially when we're craving oysters another time. read more

I came to this restaurant solely on the yelp reviews but I didn't receive the same experience. It was myself and my boyfriend, we came around 4pm. The bartender/server just didn't seem like that was the position for me. It was just another couple there before we got there, we sat at the bar. We could barely get two words out of him at a time. I told him it was our first time and no responsenor interaction. We ordered 1/2 dz of chargrilled oysters and 1/2 dz oysters. They were huge, the biggest oysters I ever had and I don't know if that's good or bad. We also had the 7 seas fried rice, which was fresh but not seasoned well. I appreciate good reviews but they did not align with the experience we had there. They didn't have any napkins either. He got us a paper towel roll to use, which was fine but maybe it should have been available without us asking. read more

This place is a like a home away from home for me. A great late night spot to take family and friends. The owners Micheal and hoa are very nice and are very knowledgeable about food. Oysters: really good if you can handle raw oysters, my favorite are whale fleet and black pearl, but you can always get the flight combo to try a bunch of stuff Fried fish: really love the fried catfish, seasoned well and nice and crispy Uni pasta: very unique, lots of uni Something I would definitely recommend to everyone is the Michelada The decor is very fun sports bar like. Lots of fish hanging in the walls. Open bar like seating makes it so everyone one in the restaurant enjoy friendly conversations. Overall a great restaurant to stop by when you are in the area . read more

Highlight: Lucky Limes, Beau Soleil French Canadian, Pink Moons, Wellfleet New England, and Kumamoto ($36.95/dz) I like the variety of oysters that they offer. A mix of textures, brine, and size. The descriptions of each oyster on the menu were pretty accurate. Oysters tasted fresh but I wish it were a little bit colder. Hospitality: Staff was very knowledgeable about the oysters and friendly. Honorable Mention: Cozy restaurant and mainly bar seating. read more

Run by a husband and wife. Bar seating only. Love that they have fresh oysters that are not broiled and cooked in Chinatown now. They make sure to wash the exterior of the oysters before opening them to make sure none of the dirt goes into the oysters themselves. Also, tried their hot plate sea bream. Steamed and hot oil poured on top. Nicely cooked and delicious with rice. Hospitality is warm and welcoming! We will return! read more

We were headed to a different restaurant when we found this place. We figured we would give it a try, especially after asking about the fresh oysters. According to the owner, they get all of their seafood fresh, including the shrimp and fish, nothing is frozen! He's very knowledgeable about the oysters and even offered a sample of the gumbo. They offer various sodas and beer. We had a pineapple Jarritos and a Corona Michelada. We had: * a bowl of crabmeat and shrimp gumbo - shrimp is tiny and a bit on the overcooked side but overall tasty * one dozen oysters on the half shell sampler, included all four oysters that were available for the day. These were nicely shucked and cleaned. * catfish fillet platter with French fries - one of the freshest catfish plate I've had in Houston! * 14 oz ribeye plate with French fries - juicy, was cooked more medium although ordered medium rare. We loved the creamy onion garlic sauce along with the chimichurri sauce. There was grilled onion and a little bit of broccoli and a tomato garnish. Service is great and friendly. They offer off menu oyster variations such as Japanese ponzu w/assorted roe and Rockefeller so be sure to ask. The owner also mentioned that they will be offer Chilean sea bass in November. I'll be back to try it or the sea break. read more

7 Seas Oyster Bar - Catfish fillets are big! I could barely finish two! - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

A small unassuming family owned restaurant. The decor was laid back oceanic decor. Reminds me of small town seafood places up north near the ocean. We had some northeast oysters beau soleil was memorable out the ones that my husband and I tried. The uni pasta was very good not very rich. The fried shrimp and fried fish with fries is a good deal definitely if you want some seafood and on a budget. Service was by the owner and was good and welcoming. read more

My friend insisted this was the best spot for uni pasta, oysters, and caviar--and he wasn't wrong. Everything was top-notch, but the oysters? Unreal. I still find myself craving them every day. I also had the chance to speak with the owner, and you can tell how passionate he is about serving high-quality, amazing-tasting food. The space itself is cozy, with bar seating and a super clean, well-kept setup. Definitely worth a visit! read more

The best of the best! I would highly recommend 7 Seas Oyster Bar. The staff is amazing, the atmosphere is just what everyone needed wants. I had so many dishes from Gulf Oysters to Millionaire Oysters. To 7 Seas Combo, Gumbo, Ribeye Quesadillas, Ribeye Baja Tacos. Personally is the best! Everything you would like to be at your perfection, this is the restaurant to be at. read more

5/5 I went to 7 Seas Oyster Bar and had an amazing experience. I tried almost every oyster on the menu, and each one was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The Seattle scallop sashimi was clean, sweet, and melt-in-your-mouth good. The uni pasta was rich, creamy, and definitely a standout. Great service, super fresh seafood, and a menu that's worth the visit if you love ocean-forward flavors. I'd absolutely come back. read more

Have been eying this place for a while and finally gave it a try and glad we did. Oysters are maybe the best in town. We went with an off menu beausoleil 6 year that was maybe the best single oysters I've ever I've ever had. Also had the uni pasta...uni was super fresh from SB and piled high! Tried tacos and fried catfish. Everything was on point and service was perfect. 10/10 for us. read more

The oysters were amazing! me and my family of 20 came and ate and we were met with amazing customer service topped with fresh food!

We came on a weekend lunch w our 3 young kids and I have to say this is a very chill and family friendly place. Oysters were amazing, so fresh and everything about it was delicious. Would def come back to try all the other varieties My second favorite was actually the fried catfish. The breading/ seasoning/ frying was one of the best I've tasted, and also was light and not greasy. My kid loved the fried shrimp in the same breading. We also had the seafood gumbo, uni pasta, and oyster Rockefeller, all great dishes. Other kid loved the cheesecake dessert. Husband also enjoyed the sake. Server was so kind and helpful. Great place! read more

I can't express this enough. Let me tell you, this place is WORTH IT. This is a place I would try to gatekeep for all my oyster and seafood loving friends, but I want to share this experience. I have been there a total of 5-6 times within the past 1-2 months and you can see how consistent they are with the food, service, and how you can see they are constantly working on the menu. I wish nothing but the best for this place, truly. I've tried almost everything on the menu (aside from the new stuff they added like the pasta). I'll list my favorites from memory The fried seafood combo- The fried catfish is so fresh, I normally do not like fried seafood but the way the fish flakes and the softness is unexplainable. It melts in your mouth. Fries are crispy and thicc! I've tried almost all of the oysters there, but my favorite is the Mermaid Tears! Its super creamy and clean, and doesn't leave a strong sea-aftertaste. It just feels refreshing. It's worth trying out the other oysters if you love them. My "least" favorite would be the oyster that has a seaweed finish (Wellfleet New England) only because it was more on the "oceanic" side so it's a matter of preference, but I finished those as well. Tacos were great. The Gumbo Soup has a nice kick of pepper if you're into it. The crab claw appetizer is a nice small bite as you wait for the meals to come (it comes quick btw). On top of the amazing food, the service is amazing. I appreciate the attentiveness they have and how knowledgeable the front staff is with the oysters on their menu. Will be back again soon read more

Kind of late of a review but whenever I come back to visit my hometown I always have to gets me some fresh oysters. I'm always hitting up Bellaire when I come and this place popped up when I searched. Small spot with counter seating only and run by husband and wife. Husband was running the bar and was so knowledgeable about all the oysters. Had fresh oysters and the best part was the grilled oysters! Now I've had some grilled oysters at other establishments and the oyster is usually dried out and drenched in topping to the point you don't even taste the oyster. This places grilled oysters were so juicy and the toppings just complimented the oyster's flavor, which that's what toppings should do. One of THE best grilled oysters I've had and on par with a small pop up shack along the 1 highway on the California coast. Shietz real here if you want some damn good oysters. read more

I've been here several times and it's always fresh and service is great! Definitely going back and highly recommend.

Tried the dry-aged TOMOHAWK. D E L I C I O U S. They added a hint of truffle salt and make their own salsa for the steak. Had 2 plates of the New England oysters (recommend for quantity, great quality). Had another plate half&half of France and Japanese Oysters(recommend if you want to try something new for your taste). Crab fingers we're sautéed not deep fried (great for healthier options). We also tried the plum wine, it was chilled and sweet which i believe paired well with the oysters. The wine definitely grew on us. The owner, Michael, was very friendly, knowledgeable on flavor profile helped us distinguish the flavors in our own taste buds. read more

Amazing oyster bar with probably the most attentive staff I've ever seen at a restaurant. The owners are there every night and will tell you more than I can, but a few thoughts from me: Oysters are the freshest, and most varied I've had in the city. The menu outside of oysters is top quality, coming from owners with decades of restraunt experience. Every item on the menu is thought out out executed at a high level. The service is absolutely top tier, often with the owners themselves serving the customers. An amazing place to try out, with friends, a date, or just to try some oysters. read more
