    Sushi only thing decent was the Yellowtail
    Jason T.

    Unfortunately, we had a bad experience here upon our first and last visit to Fat Fish. I'll keep it short and sweet. We went with AYCE with no expectations and were still disappointed. Tuna sushi smelled like a fish tank, seared albacore was not even seared and did not look or smell fresh. The salmon sushi was mushy and mussels were not good. Green Dragon roll and Yellowtail were decent but the rice used was very cold and hard. When we asked to bring bill as we did not want to continue with AYCE we were charged $90 for what we ordered or pay $6 for an additional two rounds. We passed....service was also extremely slow for us being only one of two customers in the restaurant at dinner time. Another

    Another great meal at Fat Fish Sushi. This was our second time at this fantastic restaurant. The service was once again excellent and the sushi was delicious! We are very lucky to have such a great sushi restaurant in our neighborhood.

    AYCE Dinner ($37) - Unagi

    Back in May, a fellow yelp*er messaged me, asking what I thought about Fat Fish Sushi's AYCE. At the the time I had never been to restaurant but since, it has been on my to-try list. Fast forward six months, I jumped on my motorcycle and finally made it out to Fat Fish Sushi on an early Sunday evening. Fat Fish Sushi - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=bKarCF0PeWrTnYIhbDGnnw&userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ I arrived at 4pm and was instantly greeted upon walking through the front door. "How much is the AYCE?" - The lady behind the counter, Jenny, replied, "$37." Okay, let's eat! AYCE Rules (Two hour limit) - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=bnKVq1w9xwLkVkAtwI1qmg&userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ Personally, I have never been a fan of a time limit placed on dinner. If you are a paying customer, you're paying to be there. In addition, one of their prerequisites for AYCE is a two or more people. However, I was alone at the time and it wasn't an issue. I'm guessing that during peak times, they would rather give up space for a party of two or more customers to maximize profits. IMO, not a very smart business practice. It's a good way to lose a lot of potential clients. Like most other sushi restaurants, artificial crab meat could be found in quite a few of the rolls I ordered. (i.e. - Filler) When ordering AYCE, I try to avoid anything that resembles a dressed up California roll or orders that contain fake crab meat. The order: Wasabi - The color of the wasabi looked off, pale and muted; looked old.

Photo - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=L_1FSMlmLktud96oW7Nawg&userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ Of all the items ordered, the tuna and salmon stood out as my two favorites. I am a big fan of salmon so I will always order the nigiri. Saba is another one of my go-to sushi orders but unfortunately it was not very good. Cost: $37 (+tax/tip) Overall, Fat Fish Sushi was just okay... To be honest, I've had much better for about the same $$ from my usual go-to AYCE sushi off of Bake Parkway; also located in Lake Forest. - Big Aloha! Food: 3- Ambiance: 3 Service: 3 Value: 3

    Excellent experience overall! Small and cool little restaurant in Lake Forest. Reservations only for AYCE (All You Can Eat.) Only inside seating. AYCE $35 per person! It was only two of us and it was our first time here, so we didn't know what to expect or how things worked. We came on a Friday around 5:00 pm. No waiting to be seated. We noticed lots of people ordered for take out, so lots of people seemed to know about this place! Staff was very friendly and helpful. She explained exactly how everything worked, and if we wanted to do AYCE or order individual. We said AYCE not really knowing what to expect. Since it wasn't too busy, they took us in and set us up on our table. Service was quick, and the food was actually really good. We do not have one complaint about the food! All sushi rolls we ordered were delicious. Once we were done, our waitress comes, checks our orders and said: "I will change your stay from AYCE to individual and set you up on two combos, since you guys didn't really eat enough, and it will be a bit cheaper." (That was really nice of her) It was an excellent experience here. Will definitely come back again.

    Paul I.

    Had the AYCE option last week and it was not good. Lots of rice on the rolls. Not only that but I had a couple rolls fall apart so I just ate the fish part. Server would not allow anyone in our party to order more u til I ate all the scrap rice. The salmon nigiri was super bland to me. If you Like a ton of rice on your sushi rolls, this is the place for it. I will never come here again.

    Catering options here are incredible!! We recently ordered dinner for a party of 15 adults and I…read morecould not have been more delighted with the decision to order from Mendocino Farms. We had 22 half sandwiches, 1 large pesto pasta salad, and 1 large avocado quinoa ensalada (life changing!), then on the morning of, I woke up worried it wasn't enough food so I called as soon as they opened to see if it was possible to add an order of the cocktail caprese sandwiches. Jennifer took my call and cheerfully made it happen. Phew! Our friends RAVED about the food the entire night and a couple even texted later about how good everything was. I thought the default sandwich variety in the ordering portal was very good, though I adjusted to have two extra veggie sandwiches. I also appreciated how they were very well-labeled within the boxes. The caprese cocktail sandwiches didn't have enough filling ratio for the thickness of the bun - it was a mouthful of bread with a little bit of cheese and tomato. They were the only thing that weren't really a hit, but everything else was phenomenally good! The quantity of the large size sides were incredible - our friends were eating from them all night, going back for seconds and thirds, and we still had lots of leftovers for the next day.

This one somehow topped it, and I continue to be impressed. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, with an abundance of savory flavors that made it effortless to finish every bite- or in this case, every bit from the takeout bowl. Paired with an unsweetened passion fruit black tea, it made for what I'd consider the perfect lunch. It felt light yet satisfying, never heavy on the palate, and I was able to get right back to work without the usual post-meal sluggishness. A super solid healthy lunch choice. I'm a fan!

It was a late lunch for us, and so the place was nearly empty with the exception of one other group. We scanned the QR code at the front counter and took a seat at a table to review the menu. It was a little difficult to navigate and some items did not have pictures. The gentleman who helped us was just friendly enough to go over some of the menu items. But after we placed our order, we never saw anyone again. We ordered the pork shoulder sandwich called Chancho en Cama. We split the sandwiches so that we could try two different kinds. We both really loved the flavor profile of the pork sandwich. I really enjoyed it and wish I had a whole sandwich of this one! We also had the Philly Me Up sandwich. This one was a miss for us, definitely. This was pretty bland and just didn't compare to the deliciousness of the pork sandwich. Our sides were good, which included french fries, and roasted cauliflower. The portions are pretty small for the price point of the food. We'd probably stop by again to try other items if we were in the area.

    This place isn't popular enough!…read more We walked here after enjoying a fun day looking at the pet farm, winning some prizes at the fair, and built an appetite! Jack o lantern fair was just a few blocks away but we were craving seafood and we decided on Seafood 1555. Oh my gosh. We shared a steak burrito and two octopus& shrimp tacos & it was grilled to perfection. They also had 7 types of salsa as well as the fresh one they make on site. I mean I need to come back and order again because it's worth it all! Just walk behind the parking lot when you enter the church, it's behind the car repairs. And they make it looks like a farmers market with about 3-4 businesses serving food and desserts :) Service was amazing they asked if we needed any thing and we were the only customers remaining so they were patient and didn't rush us at all. Super kind cook. Pop up chairs, canopies, and beautiful dishes were served. Don't think twice. Go order some stellar seafood tacos today!!

    Seafood 1555 absolutely knocked it out of the park…read more The customer service was truly off the charts--warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. You can feel that they care, and it makes the whole experience even better. The shrimp tacos were loaded--generous, fresh, and insanely flavorful. Every bite was satisfying, not skimpy in the slightest, and perfectly balanced. The kind of tacos you think about later and immediately want again. And don't sleep on the chips and salsa. So many places treat it as an afterthought, but here it was very, very good--fresh, flavorful, and the perfect start to the meal. Great food, generous portions, and standout service. Seafood 1555 is a must-visit and an easy recommendation. We'll absolutely be back.
