Good food. Cynthia and Jessica gave us good service! Good ambiance. Clean restaurant

Very excellent service from Cynthia, really liked the food. As well as the atmosphere, very chill.

Shoutout to Cynthia for giving great service and being so helpful for my first time here ! Definitely coming back !

This place is still so good! I stopped in for Taco Tuesday and ordered a Cajun salmon taco and 2 battered fish tacos. The Cajun salmon taco was new to me and it had really good flavor to it and was very fresh and juicy. The battered fish tacos are always good and my go to. They're a great deal on Tuesdays as they're a $1off each taco. The food here has always been very fresh and tasty. You can order at the kiosk and they call your name when your food is ready. It's definitely a great option instead of having food for almost the same price. Much kudos to their manager as her customer service skills are superb and I'm so impressed with her! read more

This used to be our family favorite restaurant but ever since the GM has changed they fry chicken, fish & fries all in the same oil. So there's cross contamination with meat products. This is not a vegan friendly nor a vegetarian friendly restaurant. Even the pescatarians can not eat here because there's cross contamination with chicken. I will never go her again. My entire family was disappointed. Whenever I would have out of state friends n family visiting this would be our to go restaurant but NOT anymore. Last month was our last n final time going unless if they don't have any cross contamination then I'll consider going there. My entire friends circle would go to this restaurant because the other GM always made sure that there would be no cross contamination. But this new GM doesn't care. The servers n cashiers if the restaurant are all nice, friendly n professional but they need to change their policy of cross contamination. read more

This location forces you to use their touch screen menu system to make orders. What I found initially confusing is that their physical menu doesn't even show all their options; only their website and touch screen menu actually lists everything they have. What's nice is that the customer service is stellar as they come out and help with ordering (which still proves that in-person ordering should always be an option). I tried out their breaded shrimp taco, sea salt mango juice, and grilled asparagus. The grilled asparagus cost more than the taco and it was only a few pieces of it. It was quite tough to eat and was definitely the worst grilled asparagus I've eaten at a restaurant. The shrimp taco itself was pretty small and average tasting. Sea salt does not go well with mango but they had some unique fountain drink options that you don't see anywhere else that sported a tasty root beer brand I've never had before. Although the customer service was quite friendly, the quality of the food didn't match the prices you had to pay. read more

I was attending the Mesa No Kings rally, and a woman was in the crowd, handing out coupons for a free taco, and inviting everyone to use their restroom. I thought that was extremely generous of a local business, so I went for lunch. Yes, the food is pricey, but it's also fresh and nicely prepared. I had a fish taco and a Cajun shrimp taco, both very tasty. Service was professional and super friendly. I will happily support this business. read more

We stopped by the spot after a quick run into Walmart the other night, and I was pleasantly surprised with my experience and my food. First, the restaurant is tucked away in the parking lot of a really busy Walmart, but there's plenty of parking. Restaurant is also pretty large and well lit inside. When we went in, there weren't that many people Eating in, but several tables are occupied with people waiting for takeout orders or DoorDash. We ordered the fish and chips and each got a couple of different slides, including the feta cheese and tomatoes and the Greek fries. I am a big fish and chip fan so I am pretty critical about the preparation and one of the main things I look for is a crispy solid breading. They definitely have that And the fish portion size are fairly large. I ordered an extra one and I actually could've stopped at two. The sides were just as favorable and well prepared. Overall, this is definitely a go to place for fish and chips when I'm in the area. read more

I frequent this establishment quite often and most times don't have an issue with my order. There have been a few times where they have forgotten to add avocado or the quantity was very scant. And this time put the icing on the cake. I ordered my normal avocado bowl with shrimp and added a side of fried calamari. I was hesitant because of the price almost $9. I got it anyway because I have been wanting some calamari. Yall when I tell you this order was ridiculous, they ought to be ashamed. I got 8 freaking pieces!!! I'm so pissed off! This right here will make me not want to come back because how are you gonna charge $9 for this pitiful serving?? Do better CFG. And it was over cooked and salty. I'm so disappointed! read more

It was good but the batter on the fish was too thick and dry. The fries were good . I had it to go and that may have contributed to it being dry, The lady that took my order was very helpful figuring out the ordering system. read more

This is a great place to go to and it's very clean and the food is exceptionally good! My wife and daughter went after church and we love going here. I had the wasabi fish bowl and my daughter had the giant shrimp. Wife enjoyed her poke bowl as well. I highly recommend! read more

You can always get a delicious, healthy meal here at a super reasonable price. I discovered swai here. I had never had it before, but ordered a combo with swai, and now I'm sold. There are kiosks at the counter to make your order, but there is someone there to help. They will call your name when your food is ready, but they also take your phone number to text, just in case you don't hear them. No I got my swai with cauliflower rice ($2.99 upcharge) and sliced tomatoes and feta. Hubby got the same as me, one son got the tilapia with fries and beans, and my other son got the shrimp Greek salad. Was trying to keep the calories low--160 calories for the fish, 65 for the cajun sauce, 90 for the cauliflower rice, and, believe it or not, the highest calorie item was the sliced tomatoes (5 slices) drizzled with olive oil topped with feta crumbles--it was a whopping 260 calories! There is wine and beer available, and chicken on the menu for those who don't like fish. read more

We had seen positive reviews of this Seafood Restaurant. We ordered take out last night and had Fish and Chips. The fish was not edible and was thrown away, the cole slaw was very dry, the french fries were okay. We would not go there again. The place had a old fish oil smell. We could not have been more disappointed. read more

I thought it was a joke when they handed me my $16 Atlantic salmon plate. It's literally 3 bites. It use to be twice this amount. They gave me a 1/5 of a portion a fish when I can go to Walmart and get a whole slab for the same price. And they thinly applied the sauce didn't even cover this frozen, dry fish. Going here use to be a treat because, despite a high cost, the food was proportioned well to the cost and the quality was fresher. All that is gone. This place should stay is California. read more

Cynthia and Jessica were so awesome and helpful!! The food was very good I got the cajun shrimp tacos.

I remember trying California Fish Grill years ago. So I was excited to see a location open up here in Mesa and had to give it another go. The setup is casual and fast. You order from a tablet, wait for your name to be called, and grab your meal when it's ready. I went with the grilled swai topped with garlic butter, brown rice, and upgraded to the Brussels sprouts. Everything was light and flavorful. The Brussels sprouts stole the show, crispy, tangy, and perfectly cooked. I highly recommend them! What I really love about CFG is the variety. If you're a seafood lover, this place gives you real options. Fried, grilled, or seared fish? Check. Cajun or garlic butter or both? Absolutely. Prefer your fish as a sandwich or taco? They've got that too. It's such a refreshing change from the usual fish-and-chips spots around Mesa. Sometimes you just want something lighter but still full of flavor, and this place delivers exactly that. read more

I have been to other CA Fish Grills before. I was disappointed at my experience. While the shrimp & fish were good, the sides were not. The zucchini was soggy & flavorless. The feta on the tomatoes was plain. The service was slow. It was 2pm and the place was almost empty. The music wasn't too loud so we could carry on a conversation easily without having to talk loud. read more

Second time having this chain. First time at this location. Very clean, plenty of parking too. Walk in and you order off tablets which I really liked. Plenty of options of fish, but I opted for their Fish and Chips again which is 3 Swai filets. They have Stubborn Soda which I really enjoy for a casual dining option as it's different plus they have cocktails and beer! The fish came out and man this is really nicely fried. AIRY CRISPY AND HOT. I forgot to take a picture of the plate I was so hungry but man this fish is perfectly fried golden brown and the batter is super light. They have tartar sauce that's not bad goes well with the fish and malt vinegar as well as lemon. They also let you get other sauces if you'd like. Very clean restaurant and I think very underrated. Highly recommend trying out the fish and chips and their kale slaw and tomato sides. read more

Went out with some friends a couple weeks ago and popped into California Fresh Grill to close out the night with some grub. This was close by and I wanted them to give it a go (I've been a couple times now). It was well received! You order your food first and then take a seat and wait for your name to be called. There's also a self-ordering station if you prefer. Very laid back vibe with plenty of seating options inside and out. The food is tasty and the price is good for what you get. I ordered the 2 chicken taco plate with fries and beans. The chicken tacos are really good. On a scale of 1 to 10, I like it, my friends all liked it, I'm guessing you'll like it :) If you haven't been, check it out! read more

Ordered greek salad. Definitely NOT authentic. Maybe 3 pieces of feta, no olives, the dressing was not greek tasting - had a weird tangy taste (wish I didn't put it all over my salad- would have used what I had in my fridge), the cucumber was part discolored. Lettuce was crisp but they added cilantro which doesn't go into a greek salad, tomatoes nice. Nope, never again! The salmon was cold and a bit tough, like it was sitting around. Fries were soggy, garlic bread is what they say, but again, not authentic. Sorry again, nope, never again! Sux bc it wasn't cheap- and to get food that is nothing like what you ordered & craved is a HUGE letdown. read more

Ok well I was hoping this place was going to be a great healthy option. Ordered an Ahi Pole Bowl with edamame rice. First off a lot of Ahi on the bowl. Half way through eating I realized there was no edamame. The spice level was also pretty strong and I had to stop eating. I went to the counter after eating to let them know about the edamame. Maybe I misread the menu. The girl at the counter just nodded. No apology no "hey here is the side of edamame" that was left off. Between the bad balance of spice and the poor service I am not sure I will return. The restaurant was clean and had good potential but missed. Better options out there for fish bowls. read more

Love the Dynamite shrimp bowl with white rice. And the brussel sprouts are great too.

I enjoy coming here to grab fast and fresh seafood at an affordable price. The restaurant is always very clean and the service is great. We ordered a couple of tacos- Cajun fish and breaded shrimp and both were very tasty! I would highly recommend. Also ordered the fried catfish with fries and seasoned tomatoes and feta. It was good as always but the catfish was a bit on the smaller side and fried a bit too long. read more

Great place to grab some fresh affordable seafood! I have been here a couple of times and enjoy coming to this place. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is a nice place to eat at. California Fish Grill is a counter-service eatery that serves affordable-yet-sustainable seafood. This chain started out in the late 90's in California before they opened up two locations here in the Valley. They offer a variety of seafood options on their menu. You can choose from one of their grilled plates with side choices, salads, sandwiches or a bowl. They also offer a Taco Tuesday special. Basically the customer places their order on the computer screen and then they call you when your food is ready. It is a pretty simple concept. I am a big shellfish lover and usually order something with shrimp. They have a number of shrimp options on their menu, so I ordered the Shrimp Trio to try a variety. I enjoyed my meal that included rice and vegetable as my sides. There are so many delicious seafood and side choices here. The Shrimp Skewers is another entrée that I recommend. If you are a seafood lover and on a budget, you can't beat the prices for fresh seafood here. California Fish Grill has been rated by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Program for good ocean-friendly choices on the seafood products that they use here. read more
