I would like to say I've been going to this location for a very long time and so has my family. I would also like to say I've sort of been part of this company for a very long time. Kim has been doing a terrific job in making this place what is now and I've always enjoyed coming here because the food has been delicious, fresh everyday, and the service is always on point. Everybody there is always in a good mood and the ambiance has chill vibe to it. I'll always keep coming here no matter what. read more

I got some vouchers from my work place so I was able to try CFG! I got some tacos to share, we got the battered fish, cajun fish, shrimp, and chicken. The battered fish was the best, love the toppings and sauce that goes with it. The shrimp was a little ocean tasting. The chicken was also good, it's a pretty big taco, so I got full off of 2. The tortilla is soft and the toppings that go with it are good. I also got the passion fruit drink and it was surprisingly really good, but a bit too sweet personally for me! Thank you Antonio and Kimberly for helping me. I was having a hard time ordering on the kiosk, but Antonio helped me and made sure I was happy! He was super nice and endearing . I will definitely be coming back for the fish tacos! This place does get packed during lunch time, but food comes out pretty quick. :) read more

What? I could've sworn I already wrote a review for this place. I was so glad when they opened several years ago. They have yummy flavors on all their food. I found their taco Tuesday specials a couple years ago and I feel like it's the best deal. Since then, though, they have taken off the salmon tacos. Which is kind of sad. But for taco Tuesday, it's a great place to go. I also love all their sides. However, most of them do have an extra up charge which adds up fast! The pricing definitely has gone up. But it's a good meal. SYOY read more

I can't say enough good things about this California Fish Grill location at the Irvine Marketplace. It's easily my favorite spot, and that's entirely because of the incredible team here. I visit here almost every day, and the experience is always great. The food is fresh and absolutely delicious every single time. I've never had an order come out wrong, which honestly says a lot. On top of that, the restaurant is clean and well-kept, making the whole experience even better. What really sets this location apart, though, is the customer service. There are several employees here who go above and beyond for me, such as Antonio, Christian, Salvador, Elizabeth (Liz), Reina, Kimberly, and Ernie, along with the rest of the team--they truly make every visit special. They're so courteous, they check in to make sure everything is good, ask if I need anything else, and make you feel genuinely taken care of. From the warm greetings when you walk in to the friendly goodbyes when you leave, they make the experience feel personal. This team is doing an amazing job, and it shows. Thank you all for making every visit such a great one--it's what keeps me coming back! read more

I decided to try their Everything Protein Bowl instead of my usual order, Grilled Swai with garlic butter with white rice and fries. I've been upping my protein intake and trying to eat healthier. Wow, it was filling. It had Cajun shrimp, salmon, swai (white fish), and grilled chicken with white rice, beans, diced tomatoes, some sort of chili mix, and chopped parsley. It also came with Roasted Tomatillo Salsa. NGL, it's not as good as my usual order, but it packs a total of 56 grams of protein. And it's still delicious. I also felt better after eating this meal than my go-to one. read more

My kids love the Swai with butter or olive oil and the fries. Yum! I can get very full from their taco combos. Service was polite and attentive, especially Genaro. Maybe one of the the most helpful staff ever. Great place to take the kids on a weekend. read more

Ordered from this spot via my office third party delivery vendor. I opted for the tilapia fish plate which came with choice of sauce, rice, and a side of rosemary zucchini. The tilapia was a bit dry, and the sauce did not evenly coat the fish. I was a bit disappointed that the sauce barely coated half the fish which made the whole plate a bit bland. read more

We came in right when they opened up and were met with great service. We even had a mishap in which our party ordered two poke appetizers, and they were kind enough to offer a refund for the accident and took it back. The staff checked in on us often to make sure we had everything we wanted with friendly smiles. My dynamite shrimp bowl was tasty and filling. The sauce adds enough flavor to the bowl. The side of garlic parmesan bread with the Alfredo dip was also good. I love their consistency and their desire to keep items tasting fresh and good. read more

Honestly, I never thought of going here till I became pregnant. The sudden craving for fish had me running to Yelp looking for anything with variety, clean ingredients, and fast. California Fish Grill delivered. I was able to satiate my fish craving and food aversions with a tilapia with simple seasonings (+ protein), fiber from the brown rice and some veggies. My husband got a nice chicken sandwich, think a fancier McChicken, same flavor profile but better. We accidentally ordered the lava shrimp but I was not complaining during my midnight cravings. Service was amazing, tables were clean and employees were pleasant. Tons of families come to eat here and I understand why. read more

The swai fish with Cajun sauce is still a family favorite. Their menu has changed in the past few years but glad this staple has stayed!! My only gripe about them is the ordering kiosk. Not a fan of the kiosk cause some people take a long time ordering. Wish they had actual staff taking your orders. There is one off to the side but only if someone is standing there. Guess this is just the way it's headed towards now. read more

We had a wonderful experience at CA Fish Grill thanks to two outstanding team members. Khari greeted us warmly, assisted us through the ordering process, and checked on us several times throughout our visit. The lobster roll was absolutely delicious, and the white fish with shrimp skewer and salad were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Genaro was also very professional and attentive to my husband and me, which made our experience even better. Kudos to CFG for the great food and for having such wonderful employees--we'll definitely be back! read more

I've never had a bad experience here, and the customer service is always great friendly and attentive. This time I ordered the battered fish tacos, grilled shrimp taco, and a shrimp skewer. The fish tacos were tasty and hit the spot. The shrimp taco came with a sauce that tasted a little sweeter than I expected. For the Cajun shrimp, I was hoping for something spicier, maybe more of a dry rub, but it turned out to be pretty mild and saucy. Overall, still a solid experience with good food and great service. I just think the Cajun shrimp could use a bolder kick to match the name. read more

The fish was good and nice to have a place with healthy options. We got the swai and rockfish. The sides were Ok though, the zucchini you couldn't really taste any rosemary so it needed some more flavor, it tasted a little bland. The sweet potato fries were good though! read more

Stopped by California Fish Grill and had a really smooth experience from start to finish. Lizabeth took my order and stood out right away. She was patient, friendly, and actually took the time to make sure everything was right. She answered my questions without making me feel rushed and had a calm, welcoming energy that made the whole process easy. It is rare to come across service that feels genuine like that. Lizabeth made a simple food run feel a lot better than expected. Definitely appreciate her. read more

Rayna has this place running like clockwork. Had a tough order for 12 that needed separate bags and labels. She and Jay made the magic happen all while keeping the store moving for the other customers. Great service and as usual, great food! read more

Staff was amazing especially Lizbeth! I got the lobster roll and it was amazing! Happy i switched it up from my favorite fish and chips !

Got here today during lunch time, for a work meeting, and was impressed. Indoor and outdoor seating options, with room to spare, even though it was busy. Had my first order on a kiosk experience, which actually was simple to use and quick. A little confused on how to get order once doing that, but it worked out, as they called my name on the credit card I used. The place was clean, and had a good temp. The food was piping hot, and all had great flavor. Good size portion for the price, I will be back!! read more

He's always there every time I walked in and he loves his job. The inside is clean. The staff constantly checks on the consumer needs and their orders. Feel welcomed every time I dine in or pick up. I had salmon and swai combo as always. Very happy with the 46 grams of protein. read more

Visited the California Fish Grill at the Tustin Marketplace recently and although at first we couldn't figure out how to get inside due to construction, once we did find it we had a good laugh. You can park in front of Luna Grill or Island's Burgers, and there's a walkway that takes you right to the front door of Fish Grill. Upon walking in, super clean, well lit, and inviting space. There is a counter where you pick up the order you placed on the digital kiosks. You order in self service format with the kiosks but, it is an employee that hands you your food at the pickup counter. We ordered the Swai with Cajun and garlic butter, both sauces were amazing. The kale coleslaw was fresh however had no taste at all, adding salsa to it helped. The fries were good, the fried fish was good, and their clam chowder was also very good. We did notice that their salsa bar was closed, which is why you'll see all the sauces and condiment are provided prepackaged. They operate in the same fashion as restaurants did during covid (which I personally didn't mind but, we thought it was just interesting) Overall great meal, fresh ingredients, great price point. If you're in the area looking for a solid lunch spot, this is a rest contender! read more

We ate here for lunch today and food was great and service was on point. It's mostly self served so it may be good to ease up on tipping. My daughter loved the salmon swai combo. Today wifey also tried the lobster roll and it was not bad at all. Overall they are winning on sauces. Price is reasonable and there is nothing failing to be honest. This restaurant is a success chain, and we will keep coming. read more

I ordered Cajun Shrimp Taco plate. It was so dry almost like chicken breast. I reported to one of the employees and showed him one of the tacos, and he said, "Thank you for letting us know." Then he looked away any avoiding eye contact. Next time I'll try Del Taco. read more
