    Bbq oysters
    Kam H.

    Such a cute, quaint place! Good food, good vibes, good company. We ordered Piccadillo empanadas, BBQ oysters, sloppy joe, and the shabu-shabu beef dip. Everything I tried was phenomenal! The decor is super cute and nothing is matchy-matchy - the entire place has character. Friendly service. Dope atmosphere! I'll be sure to visit the next time I'm in the area.

    Enjoying Irish Omlette and  Watermelon Gazspacho.

    I have been to Neon Sun a few times and it never disappoints. I stopped in one weekend and was surprised to learn they had just launched a brunch menu. I had the Irish omlette which was amazingly light and creamy, along with the Watermelon Gazpacho, what a smart invention. Always good food and a welcoming vibe here, so I was glad I stopped in. I'll be back.

    Very unique space. The food is good and was a mix of different cuisines. Our waitress Sloane was super sweet and attentive.

    Everything we tried was amazing - Peruvian scallops, asparagus salad, wagyu filet, ube cheesecake. Well flavored and gorgeous. Small found family vibe. Enjoyed the whole experience.

    Holy wowza! This place was an absolute stunner of a 10 out of 10. The ambience and just the layout of this place is super comfortable and a very intimate dining experience. It has this very Mystic/spiritual and hippie vibe. We had spent a good two hours here it's a very laid-back experience where you can enjoy and speak with your group. You're not rushed to order, and the waitress that we had was serving the entire restaurant there's not that many spots to sit as it is a smaller location, but it's very much worth the wait if you do have to wait. There's about five tables. And like a small bar type area as well. But our waitress really handled everything so well explaining the menu very knowledgeable about everything very considerate about food, allergies. Because I'm allergic to egg to the point where I need an EpiPen. And for the first time in ages, I was actually able to eat ice cream because it didn't have egg in it. I got the albacore sashimi, my group, and I had gotten some barbecue oysters and some mussels. Everything was so fresh and stunning. Not only aesthetically pleasing, but, absolutely cooked to perfection nothing was rubbery, nothing was overcooked. I didn't even get a picture of the ice cream because we dug in immediately but they have a PB&J ice cream and a plantain Brulé ice cream. And out of both of them the plantain Brûlée was the most amazing ice cream I've ever had in my life and I said "oh my fucking God." I will definitely be back here if I'm visiting San Pedro because I'm visiting from Washington and my sister lives in San Pedro. But this might be a reason to visit more. Also prices for the quality of the food that you're getting and just the overall experience, and ambience, you really do get the most bang for your buck. I will be dreaming of that sashimi for a while, as well as that ice cream. Thank you so much!

    Mussels & couscous

    I wanted something tasty but unlike anything I can grab and dash home. I wanted something light but filling. Found this gem in my neck of the woods. Everything was amazing. Especially those that served me. Started with the mussels and oysters. Best I've ever had. Plump mussels and flavorful oysters started things right. Went with the couscous for the main dish. First time having pearl pasta. Instant fan. Shrimp was delicious and the asparagus and prosciutto were excellent additions. Alas there was something at fault. And I was to blame. I should've gotten a dozen of the oysters and mussels. Coming back next week for more. I encourage you to do the same.

    Ceviche. Fish chips are dangerously good!
    Sing T.

    This place is awesome They encourage guest to take time enjoy the tapa style meal. Each table features various style of seating and dinner ware yet coherently ties together. The service and plating pacing is right on the dot. Great BYOB hosting style. Each dish is well crafted in taste and presentation. Highly recommend!

    I should be in an insane asylum, and let me tell you the Neon Sun is the next best place. I am cared for there in ways I'm starting to find suspicious, and the oyster mushroom stew is having me question my sexuality. Nonetheless, this place keeps my vibration high and stops me from jettisoning myself into the other plane. If if I could marry a building I would get divorced faster. *END TRANSMISSION, NANU NANU*

    Tapas style restaurant giving a unique retro 70s vibe. My first time here and I will definitely come back. Atmosphere, service and food .. amazing. The presentation of the food matched the quality and exceeded our expectations. Forgot to take pictures of all the food we had. However I definitely recommend the fried plantain dessert I don't know how they did it but they made it taste like a slightly sweet donut and we loved it. We also had rose, lavender tea, Charcuterie board, asparagus salad. A underrated hidden gem.

    Loves the plates. Each is an experience
    Courtney B.

    Finally got a chance to check this place out. I was NOT disappointed! The place feels like home! The eclectic charm can't be loss but is only overshadowed by the welcoming atmosphere and delicious food! We got comfy in an almost bed like seating area and took in the mushroom pillows and Neon's reading material. There is nothing commercial or generic about this place and I love it! I highly recommend stopping by to take in the vibe ... including Ms Daisy Dukes

The lot seemed small compared to the old location. 2) There's no fish market, there's 1 window where you order your food and drinks off a menu and it gets delivered to your table. Before you order though, get a table and check the number on it 'cause they'll ask you for it once you place your order. 3) Bathrooms are bigger and cleaner lol 4) Right next to the boardwalk, real nice to watch cruise ships and naval boats passing by. Food was still delicious, a little pricey but if you are a Costco member, I recommend you get the InKind gift cards, they take them and that's a huge saver.

Even the other guests were friendly, which honestly made the whole experience feel even more special. We started with the ahi tuna tostada and WOW -- definitely my favorite dish of the night.

We also tried the garlic bread because so many reviews hyped it up, but honestly... it was just okay. Not bad at all, but probably the one thing I'd skip next time. The biggest surprise for me was the fish and chips because I normally don't even like fish and chips. This version was lightly breaded so you actually got flaky, flavorful fish instead of a mouthful of batter. Perfectly fried and genuinely so good.

We got the first option for their banquet menu: two kinds of pasta, chicken marsala, peppers and Calamari. It was especially nice to not have to worry at all of any details. The rooms that we used were ample and could fit a lot of people, and the bar was well stocked. It just made a tough time easier. We had been there for another funeral reception in February of 2025, when my stepfather passed away.
