The food is soooo delicious & fresh! Tastes like the fish was just caught that morning. My favorite is the shrimp skewers. It was rush hour when I went in after school, but the staff still made me feel very taken care of. A manager named Lupe really made us feel like we were at home, with professionalism and top notch service. Spotless environment! Highly recommend! read more

Very disappointed with this salad. The lettuce was clearly not fresh--it was brown, wilted, and looked old. I also noticed what appears to be a small bug/insect on one of the leaves, which is extremely concerning. Food safety should be a priority, especially when serving food to families and children. I would not feel comfortable eating this or serving it to my kids. I expected much better quality and freshness. Please do better with food preparation and quality control. read more

California Fish Grill - Nasty. - Seafood Near Me - Long Beach, California

We had a grilled salmon plate and the fish and chips, and my husband said the batter was light and not overly breaded and one of the best he'd ever tasted. I had a mild sweet chili sauce on my salmon, and I would recommend something in their selections with a little more kick such as the Cajun or garlic. They had some good healthy sides to choose from such as kale slaw and tomatoes with feta if you want to avoid the carbs of rice. The only issue with the kale slaw was it could have used more of a dressing on it for a little more flavor. Ordering was really pretty easy from their automatic do-it-yourself menu machine at the front counter where you tap in your selections. I've been in too many really noisy restaurants, so I think this is a great invention. Had my order screwed up too many times from a worker just not being able to hear what was said. I'd definitely return and like to try some of their other fish selections such as the rockfish. The patio faces out onto busy Bellflower Blvd., but it's not really that unpleasant. Beats sitting inside noisy, echoing interior. Service was reasonably fast and they actually came back to the table and asked if you needed anything. I give them an A minus. read more

I wanted to leave a review during the first week California Fish Grill opened, but their Yelp page wasn't available yet. I didn't forget to come back because they truly did an amazing job with both my food and the customer service! The gentleman in the photo greeted us with a warm smile and was incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming. The restaurant was very clean, parking was easy, the ambience is very nice and a little more upgraded from the other location. and the food was delicious. My favorite thing to order is the Cajun salmon and shrimp, but I'm excited to try some new items on the menu next time. I will definitely be back soon. 10/10 experience! read more

You walk up and have the option to order from the kiosk on your own or order from the folks at the counter. I chose the kiosk because apparently I'm 5 years old and need pictures. I got the 2 lobster rolls and swapped the fries for tomatoes with feta and olive oil...trrrrying to be a tad healthier. the lobster meat was mild and consisted mainly a lot of little pieces. It was served on a buttery piece of thick toasted bread. The tomato side was really good. Vibe is a bit cramped and loud...not conducive to hanging out very long. read more

First time at a California Fish Grill at this new location! Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday, wasn't too busy at all. Love the reasonable prices for a non-fast food option. My husband and I split the Cajun Swai Plate with white rice and fire roasted sweet corn. It was on the "Most Popular" section of the menu, so we thought it'd be a good choice for our first time. And we were right! The fish, rice, and corn were all well cooked and seasoned. The Cajun sauce wasn't bad, but we'll probably get a less strong sauce on our next plate because we wished we could've tasted more of the fish itself, as it was delicious. Like others have mentioned, you place your order at a kiosk and get a text when your order is ready, but the customer service was still great. While sitting at an outdoor table waiting for our food (plentiful 2 and 4-top outdoor seating with umbrellas for shade), an employee came out to clear a nearby table and asked if we were okay or needed anything. Unexpected considering we hadn't gotten our food yet, but great customer service practice to always acknowledge nearby customers. The overall ambiance is fast casual, but still feels clean and tasteful. So glad we decided to try this place today; we'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

California Fish Grill - Seafood guide when you walk in - Seafood Near Me - Long Beach, California

Recently opened Californua Fish Grill. Scalewise much smaller then the standard size one but ample seating inside and outside. Itxs set up with Kiosks at the counter for self-irdering or you can order on the app. There are also people behind the counter if you need help. You put your name in and when your order is ready, they call your name (and also a text if you have the app). The food all came out on real plates with real flatware. Very nice touch! Service was very friendly and helpful. The offered us cups for ice water while we waited. It didn't take long for our orders to come out. We ordered two plates. Lobster Roll plate came with two smaller sized rolls and fries. The Fish Tacos plate came with a drink and two sided. For $0.99 I upgraded the sidesto have salads, one Caesar and the ither Green. Salads were very good sized and we ended up taking them to go. Lots of options for sides! Lobster rools were good and the fish tacos were very good. With the lobster rolls you had the option to order butter or garlic butter to go with. We shared the dishes so we each had a taco and lobster roll. Perfect amount of food (with the salads to go). Nice to have a California Fish Grill close to home. read more

Every time I'm at work, this is our go-to place to order food from! I'd never actually visited in person before, but the place looks amazing. I'm so glad there's now a location closer to us! It's also one of Mom's favorite places to eat. This was my first time ordering a poke bowl, and I would definitely order it again! read more

California Fish Grill - Rock fish - Seafood Near Me - Long Beach, California

This evening, we ordered their Two-Piece Battered Fish and Chips combo. This included 2 large fish (swai, which I knew as basa) fillets and herb seasoned French fries (chips). The fish had a mild flavor and was properly fried to achieve a crispy texture. The batter was flavorful, fried to a crunchy consistency, that maintained an (acceptable) low oil absorption. This represented one of the better fish and chips combinations encountered recently. Overall, the experience was highly favorable meal. So far we've been satisfied with our dining experiences from this location/business. read more

I'm a big fan of CFG! I've loved their fish and chips plate for many years. Until today.... A new location opened close to my home, so I went to have my favorite meal. Oh no! They no longer use cod, but have switched to a Swai filet. (This is a farmed frozen fish from Southeast Asia, similar to Talapia.) I do not prefer farmed fish! I'm sure the change is an economic choice, but I did notice a modest price increase. One of the reasons I loved CFG was that they used fresh wild caught fish. They have also gone to a fast casual format....order at a kiosk, pick up at the counter when your order is ready. (Formerly a customer service representative took your order and it was delivered to you when ready) The store itself is attractive, well lit, with indoor and outdoor dining. The staff is pleasant and friendly. If I return, I will carefully choose menu items with fish wild caught. read more

I was excited to see that a new fish location opened up nearby -- I've been sad ever since the fish place in Marina Pacifica closed. You can order at the kiosk or register. They had a worker answering questions at the kiosk, and all the workers were really friendly. We got the poke bowl, which lacked a flavor so we added some dynamite sauce. We got several sides with it: sweet potato fries, dynamite fries, Brussels sprouts and fire roasted street corn. We also got the honey citrus shrimp bowl, and the shrimp were delicious. I'm not a fan of their white rice -- I prefer a sticky rice -- so I think next time I'll try brown rice. The sweet potato fries were really good. Next time I'd order the sauce on the side for the dynamite fries. The other two were ok. They serve Pepsi, so we drank water. There are a few tables inside and a bunch of outside seating. read more

Very helpful staff using the kiosk. Didn't wait for me to ask for help. Food cooked fresh. 3 piece fish with rice & garlic butter sauce and zucchini. Abigail checked on me several times in the dining room, which caught me off guard, wasn't used to that in a self serve environment. Very attentive & friendly. Restaurant was clean. Whoever hired these workers did a great job. read more

California Fish Grill - Lol 2 of what was 3 pieces of fish. White rice with garlic butter & rosemary zucchini yummm!!! - Seafood Near Me - Long Beach, California

The truth is the quality for CFG has gone down hill in my opinion. I ordered the standard fish and chips. I also had a Mediterranean bowl with shrimp. Everything was bland and not well seasoned. Rice tasted like plastic. I didn't finish the meal. Some of the service workers seemed overwhelmed. I was giving this place another try as I haven't visited in about a year. The quality hasn't improved and I've been to multiple locations. I will stick with Luna Grill. read more

They just opened up this restaurant so we decided to try it. You walk in and you self order on a screen. I got the poke bowl and my boyfriend got the fish n chips. Both of them were very delicious! Food was good quality. We sat outside and it was nice but a bit windy. Overall, I would definitely come back! read more

The jury is still out on the new Long Beach location. The food was certainly ok, but it was nothing that says I can't wait to go back. The service was ok but needs product training and can use a lesson in making you feel welcome. The ambiance is friendly but lacks something. We will give it another try after the initial stumbling. Cheers . read more

Convenient, especially when you order from app and pick-up. Ordered fish tacos. I prefer the blackened fish vs. battered fish. Not a fan of Pepsi - prefer Diet Coke but it's an ok place to eat here and there. read more

I briefly lived in the Coachella Valley and would eat at the Palm Desert location pretty regularly. I was always a fan, so I'm super pleased they opened a location close enough to me in Long Beach. First of all the food. They pride themselves on 100% sustainable seafood and they truly cook their fish very well. We decided to go with the Wild Rockfish and I had with garlic butter and chose white rice and fries for my sides. My lunch was very delicious. I decided to treat myself and ordered a shrimp skewer for about four bucks extra and was super happy that I did. Service here is great. Employees are super nice and helpful. I find it funny that one of my complaints is that ordering is automated through a touchscreen. The two guys in front of me were clearly intimidated by this and it took them a while to complete their one order a piece. I saw employees being super helpful with them. I find it funny that I have issue with this because I'm annoyed that Long Beach made it illegal for grocery stores to have a self check out, so I guess you just can't please me lol. I will also say that it is super loud inside the actual eatery but luckily they have a nice quiet patio where I enjoyed my food. I will definitely be going back! read more

I've loved California Fish grill from inception, but I'm just done at this point. I don't know if it's just THIS location, but good grief. $7.99 for a bowl of the thinnest, blandest, nastiest watered down clam chowder I've ever experienced, there's literally nothing in it. Progressive soup is 1000 times better, hands down. This is my last attempt. read more

Savvy helped with ordering and checked on our table multiple times! The crew was in point--the food came out fast and tasting as expected.

I was craving clam chowder again and decided to try out the new restaurant on the block. My comrade had said he enjoyed the Fish Grill, so we stopped in. We were greeted right away by Savvie who asked if we had questions and was there to walk us through the ordering process. I ordered the only size clam chowder and some garlic bread. After a few minutes my number was called and I retrieved my food. The bowl of soup seemed like a decent size for the $7-$8 price tag, however there was hardly any clam in it. In fact, it was not chunky at all. This was quite disappointing. The garlic bread was really good and the saving grace of my lunch. It comes with some sort of Parmesan butter dip. We ate and dipped. The service was fantastic, but I will not be returning for the soup. read more

Stopped by this California Fish Grill location for the first time today, and from the moment I walked in, I was greeted right away. Lupe helped me, and she did an amazing job! She was incredibly sweet, kind, and welcoming. I was picking up two online orders as well as another order through a food delivery app, and the entire process was completely hassle-free. She was prompt, efficient, and made sure I had everything I needed, even asking if I wanted extra sauces, forks, and napkins. The customer service was outstanding, and the food was absolutely delicious. I'll definitely be coming back to this location. Thank you, Lupe, for making my first visit such a great experience! read more

New to this area, but old and good for us who's been going to California Fish Grill close to the Long Beach airport. Finally having this seafood place close to my neighborhood is amazing. It's not as big however it's very clean., And organize. Service is very good specially food server her named Savvy. Came by to different table a Whenever she wasn't busy cashiering and to ask if everything is OK? Or is there anything else can she bring for us? Is nice touch that day. Food is good as usual, and the amount is sufficient for the price they are charging. Totally happy dining experience and will sure come back again read more

CA Fish Grill never misses. Fresh, solid portions, and we love the calories and proteins listed, carbs would be good too, it makes ordering so much easier. The crew is always friendly, and I appreciate their effort to separate compost and trash. Extra shoutout to Lupe for always recognizing the neighborhood regulars and bringing great energy every time. read more

I came in today trying a new place, and the worker Amaya helped guide me through the process of ordering, customizing and checking out.

Will be returning back for that kind of service again. read more

All the dishes look good that were served to other. Staff super friendly and responsive to requests.

I had 2 grilled fish tacos that were delicious! Tasty and moist pieces of fish, enhanced with corn, red onions, lettuce and other chopped veggies. My friend ordered grilled shrimp kebabs that were juicy and had an authentic grill flavor, and a salad that looked fresh -- but zucchini that looked mushy and overcooked without any seasoning. She added salsa to the zucchini to give it some flavor. The inside seating area is very small and quite loud at lunchtime so we opted to sit outside on a very breezy day. We didn't stay long. read more

It was great !!! Cassandra really helped us out. Thanks again for the service we will definitely come back

Food was amazing as always. Ordering is usually a breeze and easy to understand. Service was not so friendly. I went there during the afternoon and employees handed me my order with an attitude. They were definitely talking about me as I sensed it and when I turned to look at them, they quickly looked away suspiciously. I'll reconsider coming here, but for now I'll keep my distance. For where it's located, it's ok since there are other shops in the plaza. Parking is a hit or miss depending on the time you go. read more

Amaya is so heart warming. Definetly coming back because of her patience and taking the time to describe the menu to me.

We go to the one in Sacramento and like it a lot. This one is smaller and seems to be doing mostly takeout but it was the same good, well prepared food, friendly staff and we think the prices are great, given how expensive fish is these days. I had the oysters, and we love all the choices for side dishes, so that even if you're on the KETO diet you can find plenty of stuff to eat there. read more

Exceptional service! I ordered my food and it didn't take long. Server was very engaging as I was new to the establishment. The part I love and feel embarrassed about was dropping the plate and making a whole mess, but the whole team came out to offer a free replacement and eased my embarrassment but sharing their experience with me. As someone who is recovering from a stroke, and to be shown this type of hospitality--a must stop. Thank you so much. read more
