    Tacos
    Quyen P.

    A solid, messy fish taco spot that I basically grew up on. It's one of those places you randomly start craving once in a while and then can't stop thinking about until you go back. The fish tacos are simple but really satisfying crispy, a little messy, and exactly what you want them to be. Nothing overly fancy, just consistently good comfort food. Prices are really fair, especially for how filling everything is, and the staff are always genuinely nice, which makes the whole experience even better.

    What an amazing place to have something delicious to eat. I recommend this business. I was in town for a conference and went with a friend for lunch. Staff was helpful with guiding my decisions (Panko or beer batter ) I felt like I got good value for my money. Clean and bright inside with beautiful decorations. It didn't take long and my lunch arrived hot and cooked perfectly. I'll definitely go back when I'm back in town.

    A wonderful fish house with every thing cooked perfectly! This place is clean, excellent health dept. rating, friendly staff, and good sized-portions of fish. For $15, I had a 3-piece fish and chips with cod. Cooked perfectly! Cod has great oils in its meat and doesn't dry out, but the fish was beer-battered and flaking with ultimate tenderness! Fries were crispy. I ordered the house tartar sauce. Our table had shared a side of clams and chowder. Clams were tender and not over cooked at all. The chowder felt like a meal in every bite. It was thick and packed with all the tummies like callous, clams, etc. amazing were the prices for what you get. Very reasonable. I am visiting the area and would LOVE to return every visit back Normandy Park. Very nice menu. Order at counter. Highly recommend!

    Blackened Halibut
    Rob B.

    Lots of choices, I picked the blackened Halibut tacos (2) with flour tortillas. Super fresh, the pico del galleo was a really nice addition. The Chipotle- Ranch sauce, with heavy application was a little sweet for my taste. I tried the habanero tartar sauce which I thought was a better marriage. Eager to return. While it's fast casual, the service and reception was warm and friendly.

    We ordered halibut and salmon tacos with a 32 ounce seafood chowder. Chowder was excellent, salmon was good and appeared fresh. Halibut was a bit of a dissappointment....would have expected better taste in Tacoma/ Seattle. On balance the experience was good.

    About 2 miles from the Seattle airport in a nondescriptive strip mall, you can find perfectly fried cod and fish and chips served with cold local beer. The staff is lovely and helpful. the food came quickly. Free parking in the lot in front of the restaurant.

    blackened salmon tacos

    The blackened salmon tacos are so amazing every time I get them. The apple mango salsa is actually so amazing! Food comes out pretty quick as well. I also recommend the clam chowder.

    Beer battered cod fish tacos

    Restaurant is clean and the employees are always friendly! I go here often for the fish tacos - Cod, beer battered, flour tortilla. My parents get tacos or the fish and chips, we enjoy it all! I don't really go anywhere else for fish tacos because they use this delicious chipotle type sauce. Highly recommend!

    Burien fish house is a gem tucked away in Burien (10 mins from Southcenter). You get what you pay for and here it's good and plentiful! My husband and I stopped here after a barber cut and we k ew exactly what we wanted: fish tacos and chowder. We split a 2 piece grilled cod.... Why???? Because they are huge, double stuffed and full of fish. The toppings are fresh and are just that: toppings (not 2/3-34 of the taco)! We paired it with 2 cups of seafood chowder. The chowder is super thick, spoon standing straight up thick. Truth be told, after finishing the taco, I had to take the chowder home to eat it. My husband finished both at the restaurant, he loved the chowder. The ambiance is casual and BURIEN cool.

    Captain's Platter with Cole Slaw and House Tartar
    Christian-Immanuel C.

    Ordered for pickup on Door Dash and the employees were very friendly with the pick up and made sure to call my name once it was ready. It was pretty packed for a Friday night and for my first time there, I was already looking forward to the eat the food at home with how many people were ordering for both dine in and take out. They have a lot of seating. It was nice knowing that you can bring a big party here and they'd have the room for it. Be aware that the main lot may get pretty packed due to the multiple restaurants in the same plaza but there's plenty of street parking! After delivering part of my order and then going home, it was a little under an hour before I finally a got to eat my Captain's Platter so it wasn't the most crispy but definitely still delicious. Haven't had beer battered fish in so long and I will say that this one will be memorable as the different fish were cooked perfectly under the coating. The Habanero Tartar sauce was good but I was expecting it to be a bit spicier; it was still flavorful though and had that a small kick.

    Clam Strips, Halibut Tacos (panko), and Shrimp Tacos (panko w/ sauce and pico on side)
    Lindsey B.

    We love the fish house! It's very clean, and the staff are always friendly. The tacos are a true star and we always make sure to at least place an order to share. Their sauces are also not to be skipped, their chipotle ranch and tarter are amazing. It's our favorite fish/taco spot and we take all of our friends from out of town here.

    Lobster Roll, Clam Chowder, and Cod, Shrimp, & Clam strips combo - EXCELLENT! @Burien Fish House

I had an order of onion rings to accompany my sandwich and they were perfectly done. Our server was extremely attentive and super friendly.

The decor is humorous and pirate themed. The sandwich shop is on the small side, so large groups would find it hard to sit together. One unisex restroom. Complimentary ice water and/or guava flavored water. Order via the cashier. He was friendly, helpful, and recommended a couple of his favorite sandwiches. Fidel Cash Flow: A rich and savory combination of braised pork belly, sliced ham, swiss cheese, dill pickle chips, fresh cilantro, plain mayo, and a spicy brown mustard on a telera roll (4/5). Served with your choice of sides (hand cut fries, waffle fries, chipotle mac salad, & jalapeño slaw). The sandwich size was a bit smaller than expected but it did come with a side. The bread was so soft and good. I also wish it had a bit more meat to enjoy. Otherwise, still a good tasting sandwich. Come support your local business.

At the front is a large…read morepastry counter filled with donuts, biscuits, muffins, cookies, and a crazy assortment of marshmallow treats including versions with Fruity Pebbles and Ruffles Potato Chips. In the back there is a huge mural of Dolly Parton, Anthony Bourdain, and a tiny Bob Ross in the style of American Gothic. The walls are covered with trinkets from the 80s and 90s like Homies and California Raisin figurines and KISS Pez dispensers. The food: Smashwich - A really good breakfast sandwich. The hash browns give it some added crunch that is surprising but welcome. Chicken in a Biscuit - The biscuit and chicken taste great. It's a bit hard to eat because of how large of a bite it is and how firm the components are. Vanilla Cream Shokupan Doughnut - The donut portion is tasty and there is a ton of whipped cream on this. The cream is quite heavy though and leaves a fatty mouthfeel. Wish this was a lighter cream that's fresh filled into the pastry, but that's another prep step before serving. Overall, really fun place in terms of the decor, music and interesting twists on food. Oodles of nostalgia is always a positive in my book.

I got here at 11 and there was a line if 10 people with every table full. The line doe move quick, but be prepared to eat outside (or take it to go) during peak times. I got the smashwich and fruity pebbles rice krispy. We also got the matcha shokupan donut to share. Everything was excellent. The house made sausage patty on the smashwich complemented the whole sandwich well; it was crispy, fatty with amazing flavor. Pro tip if you have the passport app you can save 20% off! Only downside - I think their space is somewhat awkward for seating and overall flow. However they are doing what they can with what they have so it's not a knock on them per se, just putting it out there that the flow is a little off especially when busy.
