Stopped by Imperial Beach Kitchen and it definitely delivered. This Asian-fusion seafood spot keeps things simple but done right. The fried chicken bowl was loaded--crispy, juicy pieces drizzled with a rich savory glaze and sesame, sitting on fresh greens with corn and veggies. Balanced, flavorful, and satisfying. We also grabbed a basket with waffle fries and potstickers on the side--perfectly crispy and great for sharing. The sauces (kimchi, house sauce, and chili oil) added a nice punch to everything. The place itself is neat, casual, and welcoming, and the service was friendly and quick. What really stood out was the great price-to-value--generous portions and quality food without breaking the bank. Great food, great service, great value, and a laid-back vibe. Definitely worth the stop if you're around Imperial Beach. read more

After shopping at the Coronado Base my wife wanted to eat at Tin Fish in imperial beach, but when we arrived we were surprised to see it is now IMPERIAL BEACH KITCHEN, asian fusion seafood restaurant. I asked the counter when they opened a place here and he said it was there since October 2025. The Menu now not only consists of Seafood, or mostly fish & chips, but now it has Asian foods like Beef Bulgogi, Spicy pork, bbq chicken, Salmon bowl, Ramen, and more. We had FRIED CALAMARI for Appetizers and our meal was SPICY PORK BOWL, GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP BOWL, and FISH & CHIPS. The Fried Calamari appetizer was so good, but small for $12.95 but it was really good, so next time we will order that in a full Meal size. The Garlic Butter Shrimp Bowl has plenty of big shrimps and this Shrimp bowl is delicious. The Fish & Chips is good too. The spicy pork was also delicious, but my wife says it was overcooked, like it was too Mushy already. The service was great and with amazing view read more

This is why I remain loyal to Yelp after close to two decades because Yelp found me this place today and it is such a gem of a find! I cannot believe there is only 12 reviews for this place! Im spending a few days here in Chula Vista and was at the Tijuana River Estuary all day looking at birds but wanted to catch the sunset at Imperial Beach Pier and this cute and amazing restaurant is at the end of the pier. Initially, I wasn't entirely sure I would dine here but as soon as I stepped in, I felt at home and was greeted very nicely by both male workers. I took a look at their menu and knew that the beef bulgogi was their top seller, so I ordered this bowl to-go and also had a draft Salty Crew Blonde Ale to enjoy while I watched the sunset. Order came to $30 with taxes and tip. Beer was great, and loved that also on the backside of the restaurant, there is a mural saying you have reached the most southwest part of the US. Now thats a milestone, sweet! I watched the sunset, my heart filled with happiness as it was so gorgeous and then when my order was ready (you get a pager that rings), I went inside to get my bowl. I sat inside for a little bit longer to finish by beer and bopped along with the kpop playing overhead. I also found another menu too and would love to come back and try one of the soup/ramen dishes. Bathroom requires a code and it was pretty clean! Service here was also very friendly and helpful. I had the bulgogi later and it was delicious and it came with a side of kimichi. Kimchi was very well made and flavorful. I was very happy with this experience and will definitely come back again when in Chula Vista! Such a good find! Definitely come here gor good food, great views and support local! read more

This is objectively one of the most interesting restaurants in San Diego. Not only is it a little visitor center-looking building at the end of this hilariously long pier, with one of the best views in San Diego, but the name "Imperial Beach Kitchen" is so ironically innocuous compared to the loud K-pop, rows of ramyeon, and fruity sours and rice wines. Not to mention the bulgogi, unagi, poke bowls, edamame, takoyaki, etc. Even calling itself "Asian fusion" feels off. There are lots of "Asian fusion" joints cooked by white people for other white people. This is not that. This is one Korean dude doing whatever he wants, and I love it. The takoyaki is actually good! I mean, it's not Gindaco good, and I like having the scallions and pickled red ginger, but it does have the takoyaki sauce and bonito flakes. Surely, the title of most southwesterly anything would be a waste on a bar as generic as IB Forum. This joint has alcohol and seating, so you could argue it's a bar. And you could argue that some of the food is traditionally "grilled." Yeah, Imperial Beach Kitchen is not as far south, but it is even farther west instead. Therefore, I declare this to be the most southwesterly bar & grill in the continental U.S. also. read more

First time visiting Imperial Beach, and I found this spot located at the end of the pier what a view! The beach scenery is absolutely beautiful. The food quality was very good, and the garlic butter shrimp bowl was my favorite so flavorful! They also have a variety of Korean ramen, which was perfect for the weather. Eating hot Korean ramen by the beach? 10/10 experience. Definitely recommend and would come back again! Food : 5 stars Vibe : 5 stars Service : 5 stars read more

A wonderful restaurant in such a gorgeous location in the far end of the pier in imperial beach. It would be nice to just Grab some beer and walk around to feel the beach vibe Or sit down outside in a sunny day. They have plenty of bench and table. The new owner added a lot of Asian fusion options which we love so much. We tried egg spam bowl and eel bowl. There are ppl fishing around so it is not super clean but hey what we are looking for is not a Dining dining but chill vibe. This is a must go if you are in imperial beach read more

At the end of Imperial Beach Pier is the most quaint Asian fusion seafood restaurant. The fish and chips and calamari were out of this world delicious! The breading was light, crisp and did not overpower the seafood in any way. The Bulgogi beef bowl was recommended by one of their staff as their most popular dish and it did not disappoint! It was my favorite of all the dishes we tried. Eating at the end of the pier was one of the most unique places we have ever eaten in all our years visiting San Diego. Even though the food took a little while to prepare, it was definitely worth the wait!We will definitely be back! read more

Nice views that you must see. There was only 2 umbrellas for Ten tables. Hopefully they can afford to buy some more umbrellas. The Ramen was good, but the portion size was smaller than I expected. The beach and view is excellent read more

Wanted to check out the imperial beach pier but also wanted lunch. We just so happened upon this place and had been discussing having Asian, so perfect. And it was. The food was delicious. We had California bowl, a vegetable bowl, spicy edamame, onion rings, and a lemonade. So satisfying. Friendly service and excellent music playing too. Take a walk down the long pier to visit. read more

This place completely blew it out of the park. Normally when you come to a pier and have food it's average at best. But this place was absolutely amazing. We got the soy salmon and chicken teriyaki bowl. And I saw them preparing it fresh. Something about that chicken teriyaki hit different. Maybe the sauce or the mesh of different flavors. But holy moly. Definitely better than some of the ones I've had at some Japan restaurants here in SD. And the salmon was amazing as well. Speaking on the salmon alone it was better than some of the sushi restaurants here in Chula Visa and SouthBay excluding Little Sakana. Having such high quality Asian food at a pier in imperial beach was definitely not part of the plans today. It also had a great view of the ocean and if you time dinner right you can see the sunset. Absolutely lovely view. read more

This restaurant is such a gem not just because of the food, but because of the location. It's literally at the end of the Imperial Beach pier, surrounded by ocean on all sides, and the views (especially at sunset!!) are unbelievable. Even just grabbing a drink and walking around feels like peak beach-day vibes. I visited during their soft opening about a month ago, and even then the place already looked great. With the new owner, the Asian (especially Korean) fusion options are a fantastic addition to Imperial Beach. The vibe here is very relaxed. There are people fishing nearby, so it's not a fancy "dining dining" atmosphere, but that's not what you come here for. It's about the food, the ocean breeze, the views, and the laid-back pier energy. Plenty of outdoor seating with benches and tables makes it a great place to chill with friends or enjoy a solo moment with the waves. If you're visiting Imperial Beach, walking the pier, or out fishing, this spot is an absolute must-try. Great food, stunning views, and a unique fusion menu you won't find anywhere else on the pier. read more

Went here first thing in the morning and decided to order the 3 pice fish and chips and the fried calamari appetizer. The battered fish pieces were pretty big but honestly not much flavor and the fries were pretty regular. Now the fried calamari appetizer was a complete disappointment unfortunately. There was only about 5 decent size pieces in there with the rest being super tiny. Felt ripped of on that! The service was nice and the place was clean I can give them that. read more

We used to go here when it was the Tin Fish and didn't really know how the new place could meet the high bar set by them -- However, the food was great (fish and shrimp) and the staff was extremely nice. I was inadvertently shorted a shrimp and they made it right (and gave me a bonus shrimp!) with a smile. Will definitely come back. read more

A nice walk to the end of the Imperial Beach Pier for the best fish and chips in San Diego. A new owner with the same great food and now an Asian cuisine as well.

No better seafood at any price at Imperial Beach Kitchen (formerly Tin Fish). read more
