    California Fish Grill in Northridge, is a seriously underestimated seafood restaurant. Have you heard of it? They have a wide menu covering numerous choices, including lobster (the rolls). I have been here before, but this time decided to give it some serious patronage. And try a different item on every visit, spaced only a few days apart. So on visit one, it was the grilled salmon, with grilled zuchini and rice. As an extra, the grilled asparagus. I was very impressed with all the preparations. Their grilled zuchini with rosemary, is a show stopper. Perfectly crunchy, fresh and bursting with flavor. The asparagus, optimally charred and inviting. On visit two, the grilled prawns, again with the zuchini (cannot stop having it) and the baked beans. Once again, another perfect hit. On visit three, I decided to try the lobster roll. Could they deliver? The bun was soft, buttery, toasted on the outside to impress. Lobster meat generous and tasty. Service here is outstanding. In my opinion, a superb restaurant with a wide array of fantastic selections, that can tackle any seafood competition. This place may not have fine dining ambiance. Not a big issue at all. But the food, the tasty preparations and the service here is very impressive. A place to always remember and keep you coming back.

    Cajun Swai (White/Fish)

    Placed a DoorDash order on a busy weekend, I didn't have any time to prep a meal at home so I placed an online order. I ordered grilled swai fish, tomato with feta salad and a kale salad on the side. Everything was fresh tasting and delicious. Every meal I've had from this location has always been good, no complaints here.

    Surprise bag for $4.99

    I love that they are included in the Too Good to go app which got me a bowl of clam chowder with oyster crackers, brown rice and zucchini sides all for $4.99! Great deal as the clam chowder alone was worth it. Their fish and chips is just ok for me as they use swai fillet and not cod or pollock. Service was quick and helpful. There is a strong smell inside so when you leave the place you smell like CFG. There's also self served drinks inside. Love the clam chowder

    12/7/2025 - The California Fisf Grill is a national chain restaurant established in 1998, which is a casual restaurant. The Dynamite Shrimp Bowl $14.75 is very good, and the shrimps are tender with a tastiful dynamite sauce applied on each shrimp. The Clam Chowder is creamy and tasty, and Ahi Poke $11.99 is also very good because the tuna's quality is high, and both tuna and avocado are fresh as well as the chips are crispy. The Sea Salt Mango Juice is excellent, and I consider it as the store's signature drink. The service from Jeymi is excellent while observing other staff who are also working hard to clean the tables!

    Garlic Butter Shrimp & Swai Combo with Caesar Salad

    Always a great pleasure grabbing a plate from here!! We know that we can get satisfied getting not only a filling meal, but one that tastes freshly made and healthy. I have tried different plates but lately I got their new garlic butter shrimp and swai combo!!! It came with a side salad (cesar) and I also picked beans. I loved how yummy the different plates are, and I've enjoyed the salmon too! The swai is tender and soft, a good type of fish to satisfy wanting seafood. I feel like I always need rice to feel perfectly filled here, or else the other sides may keep me a bit hungry. Portion wise I think the meat (the most important) have always been reasonable and they are not too skimpy at this branch compared to others. They seem to always be consistent in how its cooked too which is a great plus!! Free parking lot, easy spaces to find, next to a nice apartment community.

    This place is awesome from the service to the food , high protein bowls !! Very affordable facility is always spotless and service from manager Evelyn and staff are always accommodating I hope that is the correct name legit 10 out of 10 for me . Treated like a 5 star restaurant without high cost automated tip fees for no reason . Highly recommended this particular store in general is amazing .

    Best Cesar Salad

    The Lenten Season always brings us to reflect on our fasting and diet choices especially on Fridays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. This is just for us who usually try to follow the mandate from church. So, we decided to go to the California Fish Grill in Northridge. Here, we had several fish choices from grilled to fried with Brown, White or Salad combos etc. we decided to try the Mahi-Mahi and combined it with the Roasted Corn and Zucchini, wow! I wish the Mahi Mahi was a little thicker but it was certainly sublime, nicely cooked and grilled and pleasantly prepared. Matched with the delicious Roasted Corn and Zucchini, I felt guilty having them on a Holy Friday and reflecting on my religious and spiritual obligations, simply the food was delish. I also ordered the Cesar Salad which was a perfect combination from my Mahi Mahi, it's a marriage made in heaven. We also ordered two of the Kid Approved Battered Fish for the babies and they finished them all with gusto. All these came with drinks, cola, lemonade or Apple Juice. But the best of all was the customer service we got from Mr. Basson who was one of those who helped us navigate the ordering process. I'd say, he certainly is the Global Ambassador of this brand and took the time to help us made our best choices for the food that was certainly perfect for us.

    Nice workers and plenty of space for seating. Good tacos and sides. I would come back again.

    California Fish Grill is a favorite of mine and I love the variety of fish entrees they serve. I had a strange experience on my first visit where the front of house staff couldn't locate my online order but I didn't let that deter me. I enjoy the roasted zucchini and rice with garlic buttered fish proteins. I typically order either Mahi Mahi or salmon. Both are an excellent choice. I've also had the shrimp skewer but prefer to have the sauce on the side. I've found that if it's prepared with the sauce, it's completely drowning in it, and it's no longer really "healthy" to begin with. The restaurant itself is always fairly clean and it's located in a plaza with ample parking. If the online order process is done correctly, there are generally no issues on my end and I highly recommend this location. (10/50--2025)

    Fish restaurant in the new plaza built on Nordhoff across from the toyota dealership and located next to the new apartments. They have the usual fare of grilled fish, fish and chips, tacos, starters (yum to clam chowder) etc. can't go wrong with the classic fish and chips with options for 2 or 3 pieces. They also have specialty fries called dynamite - which is just extra seasoning. You can order via an employee at the counter or input your order on a tablet. Lots of seating and place is clean. Not bad if you needed to eat there.

    Shrimp tacos were delicious! Can't wait to come back and try something else. The ordering from the Kiosk QR code wasn't easy at all.

The food is delicious and very authentic Tijuana-style street tacos done right.

The birria tacos are definitely a standout. Service is always great and fast, which makes it an easy stop when you're craving good street food. If you're in the area and want authentic Mexican tacos, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

There was plenty of parking when I came by to pick up my order so the whole process was seamless. I would definitely order from here again in the future especially if I am craving birria tacos!

To my surprise, it's definitely worth going in. As you walk in, they have a smoothie/fresh drinks area. On the left side, they have the ordering window. Since being my first time there, I ordered several items. We ended up ordering menudo which was tasty and not fatty. It came with a side plate of spices (oregano, chile de arbol), sliced lemons, chopped onions, and cilantro. The chicken taquitos dorados (a la carte) were flavorful, tasty, and moist. There were also a bit larger than other locations. They were served on a bed of lettuce, half guacamole and half sour cream, and some cheese. Ordered Chilaquiles (verdes - choice of green or red). It came with rice, beans topped with shredded cheese, and 2 eggs (choice of over easy). It's a small place that feels like home away from home cooked meals. Overall, definitely coming back.

You can tell there's pride behind every plate that comes out of the kitchen. Beyond the food, the service is warm and welcoming.
