    Clam Chowder
    Josh H.

    I ordered the Ahi Tuna plate with an added Shrimp Skewer and added a Clam Chowder bowl. The Ahi Tuna plate was really good, nice big portions of everything on the plate. It came out hot and a good amount of sauce on the tuna and shrimp. I was a bit disappointed that the shrimps were not cleaned, it only takes a few seconds to do and for the price, I feel it should definitely be cleaned. The clam chowder bowl was a big let down, I usually add it to my orders and it's been consistently good; however, this time it was super water, flavorless, and barely anything in the bowl, and to top it off it was cold. The restaurant was clean, friendly staff, and good music playing. There was plenty of seating inside. Overall this is a solid option to grab a bite.

    The setting here is very casual. You walk up to the counter and place your order on the computer screen. Pay the cashier and the food gets brought to your table. We ordered the following: fish tacos Fried fish Grilled sea bass They were just okay. Average tasting food. What impress me was their speed of service and cleanliness of the restaurant. Staff were friendly and efficient. This is a good place to go if you want something quick and healthy. Yes, you can get something healthy here since there are many options on the menu.

    PARKING (4/5): This plaza is busy in general and parking spots all seem compact, but you will always find parking. AMBIANCE (3/5): It's a "fast casual" dining experience where you order at the front (they now have 2 self-serve screens you order from & they won't do it from an actual person unless you request it). SERVICE (3/5): You order yourself, go take a seat, and when your food is ready you also have to get it yourself from the counter. So not much "service" going on. They will bus your table afterwards though! They make everything fresh so it takes about 15-20 minutes from the time you order. FOOD (5/5): I love their food here! It's a cheap & healthier option with delicious food! I've tried everything here and it's all amazing, just depends what you're in the mood for!

    Does this look like fish and chips to you?

    I don't know what happened to this fish spot, but it used to be the best fresh ever since they installed the self-serve registers. I noticed they have tartar sauce in a container so it's got a lot of preservatives. Doesn't seem like nothing's really fresh grill here anymore. :( this store needs a lot of tender, loving care oh my God, what happened to the fish and chips? It was shocking when they served me. They did not look like fish and chips. It looked like I can't even describe it. Front of the house was outstanding they did great welcoming. They helped you at the register. Back of the house is pretty good too, but we need to work on some of the food here. I don't plan on coming back.

    California Fish Grill left me feeling pretty neutral, which is why this lands squarely in the middle for me. I ordered the everything protein bowl, and while the idea sounded great on paper, the execution fell short. The bowl was loaded with beans to the point where they overwhelmed everything else. I don't mind beans at all, but here they dominated the texture and flavor. Overall, the seasoning was very mild, and the ingredients didn't really stand out from one another. It was filling, but not particularly enjoyable, and I found myself wishing for more balance and a stronger flavor profile. Service was efficient but impersonal. Orders moved quickly, and the staff was polite, though interactions felt very brief and transactional. It worked for getting food out fast, but it didn't add much to the experience. The ambience is casual and functional. It's clean and bright, clearly designed for quick meals rather than lingering. It does what it needs to do, but there's nothing especially memorable about the space. California Fish Grill is fine if you want something fast and reasonably healthy, but the everything protein bowl didn't hit the mark for me. With better seasoning and a more thoughtful mix of ingredients, it could be much more satisfying.

    Been coming here for many years. Like the quick, fresh ingredients, and tasty ingredients and food. Friendly service. Clean space with enough inside and covered outside seating.

    We attended a church event and wanted to check out the city's Christmas lights. Afterward, we ended up at the fish grill. While I was a bit disappointed by the limited condiments on the self-serve menu, the customer service was attentive. Unfortunately, one of my chicken tacos was cold, so I couldn't enjoy it. However, the rest of the food was great, and we had a good time. I'd definitely return, especially since there's a location closer to me. Overall, I'd rate it a 3.9 out of 5 stars.

    Easy to order, open seating on a weeknight. Dine in space was about half full. Ordered at the kiosk thing, lol. Took a little while to get the order. Seemed to have a few to go orders going out. Server was friendly Fish was simply prepared and healthy. We felt good about dining there after a trip to the gym. The couple of sauces they offered on the side were okay. The fresh tomato salsa was very tomato-ey, lol. The Cajun preparation on the sea bass was extremely mild. The garlic butter sauce (I forget the bane) on the salmon was good.

    I love California fish grill! Especially this location! It's clean, the staff is always ready to help wether it be with the kiosk, asking if you need anything or answering questions. The food here is so good. My kids are somewhat picky eaters and love it here as well. This is also an awesome please to get a quick bite to eat.

    I've been to several California fish grill locations and what I enjoy about them is that they are very consistent. I really enjoy this location because the staff here was super nice and friendly. The location was also clean as well. The amount of food that they gave you and the cost of the food Was very reasonable. They gave me a lot for what I ordered. Once you walk into the store there is a kiosk. you place your order once you're done placing your order they will send you a text message. You use that text message to get notified when your order is ready for pick up.

    Took my grandson here for Fish &Chips yesterday and it was a home run for him - enough food to feed a growing boy and well prepared

    Kris G.

    One less star this time - the fish & chips were more soggy than crispy, and they forgot my clam chowder. Once I got home, I called & spent about 5 minutes on the phone for them to tell me to come in another time to pick up my soup that they forgot to include. Other than the above, the food was good & they were very generous with sauces.

    Fish n chips are horrible
    Mays F.

    Fish and chips use to be good. It tastes like tilapia or some other sort of variant. The shape has changed from long strips to patties

They also have a large covered outdoor patio with ceiling fans. I had the taco and enchilada combo ($14), with a carne asada taco (+$1) and a shrimp enchilada (+$3.50) with green sauce. The plate also comes with rice and pinto or black beans. You order at the register, and your food is delivered to your table. The enchilada was great, filled with perfectly grilled shrimp, and a nice layer of gooey cheese on top. There was extra cheese on the plate above and below the enchilada which made it even better. The green sauce was great and had a very mild heat. They don't skimp on the tacos here. Two flour tortillas hold a ton of flavorful carne asada and it is topped with lettuce and pico de gallo. They have a great salsa bar, and I always enjoy the salsa verde and some lime wedges with my tacos. The rice is light and fluffy, and I drench it with salsa verde. I usually don't care much for beans. The last time I had lunch here, the pinto beans were very watery and bland. This time, they were much better and I ate almost all of them. There was a lot of extra green sauce from the enchilada on the plate which helped. The woman at the ordering register was very friendly and wished me a great day. The gentleman who delivered my food and cleared my table was also very pleasant. This plate is a little on the expensive side with the premium upgrades ($23.50 after tax and tip), but it was delicious and very filling.

You ordered and then sat wherever. I liked that they have a salsa bar. A lot of places took theirs out during the pandemic and never put it back. The food was served to me. Tacos were quite nice. Not quite authentic Mexican but not American style either as it didn't have that fish taco sauce they always put on it. This was somewhere in between. I like the small menu as it only has fish tacos and burritos and shrimp and beef and chicken. They also had bowls too. I guess this would fall under fast casual but the food did take a little time to come out. It looks like they're doing everything right. No complaints here. I will be back.

I went for lunch on my first visit, enjoyed what I ordered, and can't wait to go back to try more of the menu. As you walk up to the cashier and glance at the menu, you can see the flaming grill action in the kitchen, where all the meats and other foods are prepared. I ordered a couple of tacos and sides. I went for the premium meats like Arrachera (outside skirt steak) and Costilla (chopped beef ribs). Both meats were flavorful, cooked well, and piled generously on the tortillas. I ordered the rice-and-beans side, and both were delicious, especially when adding more ingredients from the salsa bar. Highlights: - Flavorful, mesquite-grilled meats and plenty of offerings on the menu - The variety of salsas and condiments bar is solid - Taco Tuesday deals - Indoor and outdoor seating - Chill atmosphere and pleasant decor - A few TVs to watch sports - A few more locations in the OC The staff was kind, and the service was efficient. We got our dine-in order within 5-10 mins. The dining area and salsa bar were clean and tidy. We arrived around 1 pm, so we missed most of the lunch crowd. Price-wise, it's a bit on the premium side, but it's still a nice treat once in a while. They also add a small fee for card payments, so I prefer to pay with cash when I can. 4.5/5 Rating overall.
