    3 PIECE BATTERED FISH & CHIPS
    Ann C.

    My BF has been asking to try CFG so we did tonight. He ordered calamari, lobster roll, fish and chips, and poke nachos for me. Let's start with the good. We did like the fish and chips. The pieces were big and the fish was flakey. The calamari was pretty good. Okay, now for the not so good. The expensive lobster roll was really small, half the lobster of other places, and lacked flavor. I wanted the poke with salad but their app didn't allow me to order it so I had to go with the poke nacho. The poke nachos was not so good as well. The portion was big but the house sauce was too sweet and made me not want to eat much of it. I wouldn't mind coming back for the fish and chips but that's about it.

    What's up: Wanted to grab something with fish for dinner. Last time we enjoyed the seafood at California Fish Grill, so we decided to go and get a dish there. Parking: Plenty of parking available. Located in Hastings Ranch Plaza, parking is shared among the nearby businesses. We didn't have any issues finding a spot in the evening. Environment: We had placed our order ahead of time using Uber Eats. When we arrived, we went up to the pick up area at the counter. A short wait later and we received our order. What was ordered: - Salmon and Swai Combo (yummy; we also got it with fries) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. The meals at California Fish Grill have been consistently good. This time was the same and pick up was easy. Credit cards are accepted.

    Great customer service from Carla. I'll be back soon. Also the manager Frances was amazing and took time to talk to me. Both greeted me with smiles and great suggestions.

    Great experience thanks to Dylan. He was courteous, quick, and made us feel welcome from start to finish. Highly appreciated!

    I went to California Fish Grill with my best friend, and let me just say we made excellent choice for dinner. First of all, 100% sustainable seafood? Love that for us. Saving the planet while eating good is the kind of multitasking I support. We dined in and ordered the lobster roll plate which came with two buttery, tender lobster-filled rolls and fries (because balance). The lobster was so fresh and flavorful, I genuinely paused mid-bite just to process how good it was. And the fire-roasted street corn? Delicious! Not your average street corn. This was packed with flavor. 10/10 would come back! Also, a ton of parking!

    Rice and beans
    W C.

    Came here for the Toohoodtogo deal. It was definitely NOT worth the $5 spent to get the meal "worth" $15, and the gas to get there. All we got were the cheapest sides consisting of a container of white pilaf rice that wasn't great and 2 containers of beans. LAME! For $5 I could've gotten tacos at a taco truck that was better than the crap given to me. Totally disappointed in the establishment. Def not coming back here even for a regular meal. Unreal! If it tasted great, it would've been a different story. But it was mediocre at best.

    Coconut shrimp

    Fantastic spot for grilled fish! I went with the Swai fish/Salmon fish combo plate and I chose half cajun/half garlic butter sauces on top of my fish. The fish came on the bed of rice and I added coconut shrimp and cesar salad as my sides. The fish was incredibly delicious, tender and juicy and the cajun and garlic sauces on top added great flavors to the fish. The coconut shrimp had great flavor to it and was crispy on the outside and perfectly tender on the inside. The cesar salad was okay. Overall, a great combo plate and definitely worth a try! The spot itself has multiple tables and a patio for dining in. You order through an electronic device at the register, but I did have a nice lady come up to me and advise me on some bestselling items. All in all, a very satisfactory experience with good service and great, generous-portioned food!

    Patio. Pleasant place to linger awhile.

    What are dynamite fries?

    They are an extinct delicacy of the past since the decided to get rid of the magic sauce :(

    What ever happened to the fish burritos? That used to be a favorite of mine whenever I was anywhere near the El Segundo location. Has that just been eliminated from the menu?

There's a bar style table off to the side if you want to eat there, no seating options but the area is clean. *CASH ONLY* and well worth a stop at the ATM. Open late weekdays and even later on the weekend, great spot for a late night bite.

When I finally got around to eating the tacos, it was very tasty and there was a nice crisp to the Ensenada style tacos. I definitely cheer for places like this, and I tend to score a little higher only because I feel like there needs to be more places like this around. Not only that, but they have a pretty extensive menu, but I really just came here specifically for the fish tacos on this visit.
