Top 10 Restaurants in Corpus Christi, Texas

Every year, I take a trip down to Corpus Christi, Texas to see family, check out the beach, and, of course, dine! Corpus Christi sees its fair share of tourists so here is my compilation of the best restaurants in Corpus Christi, Texas ranging from establishments that serve oysters to those that serve Thai. This guide ensures that your dining experience in Corpus Christi will be one you will not forget!

The Black Diamond Oyster Bar
This restaurant has been dubbed "The Best Seafood Restaurant in Corpus Christi". The menu consists of every seafood imaginable- shrimp, fish, oysters, and gumbo. While, there is a beautiful aquarium situated in the restaurant, but don't be surprised, this is not a fancy restaurant. This restaurant will not distract you with piano music and tuxedo-wearing waiters; they let the food do all the talking! It's this quality of food that keeps customers flocking to this eatery all year long! Because of the popularity of this restaurant, call ahead especially for dinner. The prices are fair. The address is 7202 S Padre Island Drive, Corpus Christi, TX 78412 and the phone number is (361) 992-2432.

Tokyo Den
Now, I understand that not everyone loves sushi as much as I do, but I just had to include the Tokyo Den on my list of best restaurants. The second I moved to Japan, sushi claimed its place in my heart and has resided there ever since. But for those who don't like sushi, this eatery even accommodates those who don't like sushi with a full menu of both Japanese and Korean food. If you're feeling adventurous try some gyoza or yakitori as an appetizer. This is a casual restaurant and is usually busiest around dinner. The address is 5625 South Padre Island Drive, Corpus Christi, TX 78412 and the phone number is (361) 992-9611.
