    Calm Chowder
    Donte M.

    I ordered to go. Everything was delicious and package accordingly. It did not take long at all. I really enjoyed the bread quality and freshness of veggies. Clam chowder sourdough bowl was a great consistency and had plenty of flavor.

    Raging Bull
    Deary L.

    Never had a bad meal here. They seem to add new menu items and they're always great to try. The staff is pleasant and efficient. The bathrooms are always clean. I have only good things to say after eating at several Erik's over the years. I have a few favorites like Abbotts Habit and Raging Bull! I had the Raging Bull well my guest chose a new item called the Italian Job. This is reminiscent of the Italian subs we eat in Boston!

    Gluten Free Clam Chowder
    Jerald P.

    Today was our first time trying Erik's. I had a recommendation from a friend and we decided to check it out. We were happy to see that wheat was not listed as an allergen in the Chowder so my wife was able to enjoy a bowl. We were both happy with the soup and I like the sandwich. The service was top notch and the food great. This locator was very clean, the counter looked great, and the price is very reasonable. I also tried some Carrot cake. It was a classic carrot cake, moist and the cream cheese frosting was tasty. Give them a try.

    Barnbuster, blah
    Terri M.

    There was 4 employees total. 1 on break, 1 in back and 2 making sandwiches. There was 2 people in front of us each getting one sandwich. The employees had no move with a purpose. The girl came off break and the guy went on break. Instead of her making the orders she went to the other employee making sandwiches and was just lolligagging chatting for about 8 minutes before she started making sandwiches. It took about a half hour to get our order. I ordered a raging bull and barn buster. Not much to the barnbuster, no flavor and got jipped on the meat. The raging bull was nasty but about half the meat as normal.

    Half sandwich combo. Chicken pesto and clam chowder
    Ronny E.

    Had a half sandwich combo. Pesto chicken and clam chowder. Pesto was on point and the clam chowder was good very creamy and nice pieces of clam and potatos just lack a little bit of favor. All together semi bussin!

    Farmer's Market
    ungry chicken D.

    Been going here for few years. Some days your sandwich is made by a craftsman and today Ken you rock. Watching him build my Farmers Market sandwich into perfect proportions I immediately knew I had to take a picture. You see, eating healthy shouldn't leave you hungry. A veggie sandwich should be chock full of goodies bc it's veggies after all. It always saddens me when I open a sandwich to see a single leaf of lettuce with a single tomato slice on top of bread. How on earth will that help you stay full or healthy. But.... on Some days a sandwich maker like Ken helps makes your day a little brighter. Piling up the ingredients in a perfect stack (not just in the middle). Thanks Erik's. Thank you Ken.

    Home Slice A locally…read moreowned Italian restaurant that's been in operation in Seaside for over ten years (ca. 2015). Gusto is one of the few truly scratch-made Italian restaurants that specializes not only in pizza, pasta, and sauces, but also features an old-school brick, wood-fired pizza oven. Hell, they even make their own mozzarella! They have not only caught the eye of locals and Yelpers, but have also managed to earn a recommendation in the current Michelin Guide. The Good: * Private parking lot, as well as street parking. * Fabulous service from Alex! * Prices are very reasonable considering the food quality. * Local beers on tap. * Strawberry Prosciutto Salad (seasonal special) was fantastic! Who knew strawberries paired so perfectly with salty, cured prosciutto and pistachios? This might not be on the menu all the time, but if you see it, get it! * Complimentary focaccia was unbelievably soft and delicious. As if it couldn't get any better, their olive tapenade served alongside it was equally delicious, making for an unbeatable duo. * The Margherita pizza is the ultimate test of a pizza restaurant--and they passed with flying colors! It's so simple that if something isn't right, it'll be easy to spot, but everything from the homemade mozz to the slightly charred crust and the delicious sauce made this the perfect pie. I give it a score of 3.14159265359...! The Meh: * Meatballs were a touch too tough and could've been a bit more tender. They were still fuçking delicious, so honestly, who cares? The Ugly: * Despite the name, Seaside isn't the most glorious place, and this location is downright sus AF. Conclusion: Maybe one of the best meals so far of 2026. If you have any doubts about coming here, relieve yourself of them and get down here posthaste.

We tried the Yangyum flavor (sweet and spicy), and while it leaned more sweet than spicy, it was still absolutely delicious. Next time we'll definitely ask for a higher spice level. The Honey Garlic was also amazing--super flavorful, and the chicken itself was perfectly fried, crispy on the outside and still moist and juicy inside. It could've used just a little more sauce, but honestly still so good. We also ordered the pork and veg gyoza, which were tasty, and edamame, which was good but pretty standard. I had the Spicy Tuna Roll and really enjoyed it, and my husband got the Shrimp Tempura Roll, which he said was great too. The portions are huge--we definitely had leftovers! I also got a side of white rice to go with the chicken, and it was just chef's kiss. A couple small notes: the restaurant is a little tricky to find since it's tucked into a shopping area, and the music was a bit loud for my taste. But the service was great, and when we went (around 12:30-1:00 on a Friday), it wasn't too busy, which was nice. We'll definitely be back a few more times!

Parking was only mildly challenging, as a space opened up after only a single lap around the block. Inside here, you'll find a busy place with a few tables and individual bar-style (partitioned!) paired seating along the walls adjacent to the kitchen in the middle part of the restaurant. Order up at the self-serve order kiosks, tap in your table/counter number, and they bring out your order in a couple of minutes. We had six of us in our party, and most of us kept it simple by ordering the default Tonkatsu Ramen with different customizable options. Most all of the ingredients in this order were on point - The Chasu Pork Belly was tender, thick and delicious, ramen noodles nothing special, but generally stil on point, as were the bamboo shoots. However, the co-star/centerpiece of the Tonkatsu Ramen other than the Chasu Pork slab should be the broth, but sadly the broth was far far TOO salty which overpowered the other flavors in the broth. Chasu Pork 4.8/5, Tonkatsu Ramen 3.1/5. Service was good as everyone was hustling hard in the kitchen, along with attentive bussers/waitstaff to quickly turn tables. They take good care in wiping down the tables here. If I return, I'll just get the Paitan Ramen like I did in years past, as that seemed less salty. Then again the Paitan soup base begins with the same chicken+pork soup base as the Tonkatsu Ramen. I hope Toribashi will step back up to their former glory.

I ordered "Jim's Special Wonton Noodle Soup" #174, with the Mei Fen noodles. Helen threw in breaded mushrooms & beef plus a couple egg rolls. It was a lovely surprise. Fresh & crisp, soft inside and exploding with flavor. When Helen walked in with the Wonton Soup, I was wowed by the generous meat portions and all the right ingredients. The broth had the slightest hint of classic seasonings and maybe the tiniest touch of Chinese hot mustard?... which I love!! They don't skimp, big portions! The only "downside" (if you wanna call it that) is that canned drinks are between $3 & $4, which I suppose is quite normal these days anyway. I usually drink water (or table tea) with Chinese food, so I was unfazed, but commenting on that for info only. Overall, GREAT. Highly recommend! I'll be back!
