I've been coming here the past few months and all I can say if that the food always comes out consistent and delicious. I usually get helped by the same gentlemen. I believe his name is Chris. He is so personable and helpful. Other staff is great too never had a bad experience, only an exceptional one which doesn't happen in the service entry very often these days. The employees here and the food consistency is what keeps be coming back! read more

super friendly and kind service, nice dim ambiance the poke bowls were super fresh, highly recommend the citrus yuzu sauce and the blackened ahi! the clam chowder was also filled with clams and bug chunks of potato, really flavorful and the cashier gave us drinks on the house which was super nice of them, my boyfriend and i came to visit from murrieta and definitely will be coming back! read more

Fish was good, and they gave so many fries!! I also love that they had the option to do extra crispy for fries and fish, so even though the drive home was only 6min, the food was still hot and delicious by the time we got home. I would def come back!! read more

Came here for the first time tonight looking for something fast and healthy and this spot was PERFECT. The guy at the counter was so nice and offered excellent customer service! That made me happy. We got 2 grilled fish plates (seared ahi and mahi mahi). Both were excellent and fresh tasting. You get 2 generous sides and bread with the plates, so plenty of food. I liked that the sautéed veggies were not greasy at all. We also got the poke on crispy rice which was hard to eat but delicious. Value is on point-- good portions and fair prices. The ambiance inside was really nice too for an order at the counter type of establishment. I will definitely be back and I wish they had one closer to me in central San Diego area, I would come once a week. read more

Food is solid. I had the seared ahi. Fries are battered and very good. Cole slaw is good. Simple environment. Order at counter and food delivered to your table. read more

My go to spot when I'm in the area! Such great food at reasonable prices. I personally am not a huge fish person, but there's something about the way they cook it that just makes me crave it!!! Not to mention the vibe is UNMATCHED! Christian the manager is always so inviting and accommodating. He's always got a smile and a great attitude. He truly makes this place what it is in my opinion. Next time you're in the area be sure to check Fish District out!! 10/10 would recommend read more

Soyer and the team working tonight went above & beyond and exceeded all expectations. I appreciate the staff at the food is top notch. Shrimp Po' Boy + Sweet potato fries are the best!!!! The guys in the kitchen deserve a raise!!! Food quality is perfect every single time . read more

TRUST THOSE WHO YELP REGULARLY... Seems to be hit or miss at this location. Tonight we ordered a couple of $6.50 tacos with sauce on the side and [struggled] to order a $17 skirt steak burrito with the person taking the order. They put the sauce on the taco, which we realized when we got home with our take-out order. I even confirmed at pick-up, and was told... "yep, it's on the side." The skirt steak is really well done, but the attention to detail needs some help. I called to let them know of the mistake and the guy said, "ok." With so many options around, I hope TFD will work on this. read more

I am always on the hunt for restaurants that feature fish as the hero of the menu. Fish District is a casual fast restaurant offering a flexible menu that allows customers to pick a protein and then preparation style. The quality of food at this location is a step above most takeout in the area and I received my meal quickly. Bowls are apparently the star of the menu, and I wish that I had looked at the photos before ordering a wrap. I do not recommend the wraps at all, I received a tortilla filled with raw cabbage and seared rare tuna that I did not enjoy. When I asked the young staff member if the beans were prepared in vegetarian style he did not know the answer so I did not order them. The same staff member emptied and counted the tip jar in the dining area in front of customers even though his shift was not over which was awkward. Fish District offers good clean food, but could use a bit of training for the staff and a menu audit. read more

So incredibly grateful for being taken care of . I like this "go to" location . The quality & service is both great and. Alexander (corporate) Was so attentive & represents this company with true class Thank you a Fan read more

I used to eat here all the time many years ago and it the food was always fresh and co sister but the last few times I've visited over the last past few months have been sub-par. Most recently I ordered the fish & chips to-go. The fish was not very fresh and the fish batter and fries both lacked flavor. I also found a hair in the fries. The last time I ordered the ahi poke and the fish also wasn't very fresh. I'm disappointed with the last few experiences so unfortunately done with this place... read more

After eating at fancier fish markets with dishes averaging $22 bucks, we were ready to try something more casual. We were pleasantly surprised at how affordable and satisfying the dishes were! Our friends liked it so much they ate here for lunch AND dinner. The menu is not overwhelming, but offers a great variety from familiar to unique dishes: calamari, tacos, poke, burgers, tuna melts, chowder bacon fries. It's no wonder why there are multiple locations often found in shopping centers near a Vons. A great option for a quick pick me up or casual meal. read more

I am so sad I am from out of town because this place is amazing. The portabella mushroom fries are amazing as well as the mahi mahi and shrimp. They are very kind and the food is amazing all around. Highly recommend. Even my kids that swear that they hate all seafood loved the food. Raging review. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch before heading out for a day at the beach. You order at the counter and they'll bring it to your table. I think they also have online ordering too. Most people seemed to be getting their order to go, but their dining room has plenty of seating. Our order came out in a reasonable amount of time, but I wouldn't exactly call it "fast". Worth the wait! I tried their poke tacos. I loved the wonton shells. The poke was fresh and I very much enjoyed every bite. I don't remember what my boyfriend got, but he enjoyed it as well. They have a variety of fish in a variety of forms from tacos or poke. It's a great spot and I look forward to returning! read more

Consistent: great, fresh fish and amazing mango salsa! I live in RSF and use DD to order frequently, and the items 'travel' well- still hot and not soggy. read more

The food was excellent! The customer service was very good. We ordered the shrimp po boy. Definitely not like back home but very, very good. The shrimp were fried perfectly and the batter was very light which is perfect. The lettuce, tomatoes and pickles were fresh, colorful, crisp and tasty. The bread for the sandwich was soft and pillowy. The clam chowder was seasoned perfectly, no flour lumps and plenty of clams. The fish and chips were crispy with a flaky bite. Again the batter was thin but thick enough to coat the fish and very crispy. The Tatar sauce was a tad too sweet for me but still very good. The tuna melt was soooo good and I don't like tuna melts. I can't wait to go back. The restaurant was clean and decorated perfectly. read more

Thanks for listening ... I'm so glad to know I can get water with my door dash! love the food here. Can't wait till the next visit. read more

Still love this place. The food is consistently good and fresh, staff is nice! Tonite I had my usual, clam chowder and Coastal style taco with Mahi Mahi. Excellent as usual! Its' not a restaurant that people are meant to stay long - many just do take out or delivery from here. My only complaint is that I wish it was more comfortable - all the seats are super hard - it would be great if you'd pad the booths at least! Just a suggestion! read more

Fish District - Clam chowder and Mahi Mahi taco - yum! - Fish & Chips Near Me - Solana Beach, California

I have had take out from Fish District two times. The first time I had a great salmon sandwich. Tonight I ordered the Kale/Salmon Bowl and the Calamari Fritti. The calamari was quite good but did not like the salmon & Kale bowl at all! The Salmon, sadly, was way overcooked and completely dried out. YUK!! A perfectly cooked piece of Salmon would have made all the difference! Also Could not detect the ginger in the kale. All the sauces included were good, especially the additional ($1) cocktail sauce. Sorry, but if you are a fish restaurant , you should have a cook that knows when to pull fish off the grill!! I'll be back, but will order in person so I will be sure to have a nicely cooked piece of fish! You do have a nice menu with lots of choices. read more

Came for a work lunch and wasn't really impressed. Ordered the fish and chips and immediately got a stomach ache upon eating them. Seemed a little greasy and they had no flavor. The fries were average at best. The salad looked good, but lacked dressing. Not sure what all the hype is about. read more

Stopped here based on the other reviews. The menu items looked great especially having young kids. I got the catch of the day plate with mahi mahi "piccata" style. I got the mixed veggies with sweet potato fries. The fish tasted fresh but tasted more like it was blacked or bbq. Not how I expected. The veggies were mostly bell peppers and just too overwhelming in bell pepper flavor. My husband got the mahi mahi burger and he said the coleslaw was so plain and didn't have any flavor seasoning. My son had the 3 piece fish and chips. Very generous portions. Way skimpy on the sauce. They even forgot the sauce and we had to ask for it. My other son had the kids chicken tenders and fries. He like them and are most of his plate. Generous serving on the fries. The food was just ok. Everything needing seasoning or more flavor. The situation with needing sauces and ketchup is really inconvenient. Having to wait and ask. I don't think we'd come back. We love fresh fish and there are a lot of options in the area to try. read more

Very solid spot. It's in a strip mall a bit off the beaten path but it's really beautiful inside and the food is great. The grilled fish taco was huge and super flavorful. The fish and chips were also great. The breading reminded me of a corn dog in the best way possible and the fries were delicious. The poke bowl was also yummy, but if I were to go back I'd do the grilled fish over the poke. read more

I was looking for something to eat and came across this place. This place is small but serves delicious food. Not disappointed at all. The soup was good. Service was great. Everything is freshly cooked at time you order. Would definitely recommend this spot. read more

This is what I've been looking for as fish and chips. Solid piece of fish in a flavorful batter. The fries are seasoned, but not too much. Nice quick place to get a good bite. Easy parking, though some spots are timed because of the proximity to the gym. read more

This review is for Fish District in Solana Beach; I have not eaten at or ordered from the others. So often fish and chips are disappointing, either because the fish is too greasy, or the breading is too mushy, or there is much more breading than there is fish. Fish District in Solana Beach, though, has great fish and chips. There is plenty of fish under that batter/breading and biting into it provides a satisfying crunch. Even when we've had it delivered, it was still hot and crisp when it arrived and when we actually sat down to eat it! I've also had the fries, fried calamari, New England clam chowder, and Manhattan clam chowder and enjoyed them all. I am especially pleased about Fish District offering Manhattan clam chowder because it is my favorite but it is hard to find on menus in the Northwest, Southwest, Midwest, and West. I've had fish and chowder delivered and I've eaten in the restaurant. Both were positive experiences. I am giving Fish District four stars instead of two for the following reasons: First, although the fries taste good, I would rather they were not battered because the batter makes them much higher in carbs. Fries are unhealthy enough as an occasional treat so they do not need to be made worse. I did not realize they were battered the first time I ate fries from Fish District (I had not placed the order) and my glucose level went through the roof. I realized why later when I saw the menu and read "battered fries." If Fish District wants to serve battered fries, fine, but offer customers a choice of battered or non-battered. Second, I think the soup is overpriced. Despite those two issues, Fish District is my go-to for fried fish and Manhattan clam chowder. I just do not eat any of the fries! read more

Sawyer makes this place the best. With a huge smile and with detail he explains the menu. The food was exceptional. Had the manhattan chowder and a salmon sandwich. Wife had a salmon taco. Back to Sawyer...he served all the food as quickly as it came from the kitchen, not just for us, but for everyone. He never rested. He was clearing and cleaning tables, restocking supplies such as napkins and utensils. That guy needs to help fish district open new locations and set the tone standards! Great spot. read more

On our way back to LA our family stopped at the Fish District for dinner. We had an incredible experience there, and it was all thanks to one amazing employee! Taylor I believe his name is... From the moment we walked in, he was were attentive, friendly, and genuinely interested in making sure we had an amazing food experience there. We asked for recommendations, and he did not disappoint! His suggestions for the fish tacos, poke bowl, & clam chowder were spot on--all dishes were absolutely delicious. Not only was he helpful to us, but we noticed he were equally attentive to everyone around, making sure each table had everything they needed. It's rare to find someone who cares so much about customer satisfaction, and Taylor truly went above and beyond. Honestly, he deserves a promotion for his dedication and impeccable service. Overall, the food was absolutely amazing, but the customer service was truly superb. We'll definitely be coming back, thanks to this standout experience! read more

Came by here for a quick dinner and it's a great spot for something casual and tasty. I got the Traditional Style Wrap with Mahi Mahi in it. I absolutely wanted to love it because I was excited about the House Sriracha but unfortunately it was so mild that I barely tasted it. The rest is the ingredients were light and fresh but unfortunately, I found the wrap overall pretty bland and lacking of flavor. I tried some of my friend's fries and those were well done and super tasty. I think I'll have to come back and check out another item on the menu to see what the excitement is about! read more

This place has always been a favorite. This place is amazing fresh seafood at very reasonable prices and consistently prepared every time. What I love is it is so customizable (fish wraps, bowls toppings etc). Service here is also always the best. Highly recommend. We go here at least once a week for a healthy dinner in between practices etc. read more

Fish and chips were excellent. Sweet potato fries were delicious. Ordered online. Food came out at exactly the time specified.

Restaurant is dirty! Tables extremely sticky. Floor dirty. Wonder what the back looks like?! Cannot understand the girl at the register. read more

Fish itself wasn't bad. Staff was quick and friendly! Inside is clean and well kept. My main knock is the quality of the tortilla, it was really stiff and tasted store bought. I think if you're going to charge this much for a fish taco you gotta elevate it a little more, especially in San Diego. Wishing good things for this business and hope they take this constructive criticism the way it's intended. Looking forward to trying poke next time read more

One of the better seafood experiences I've had on my trip to San Diego. The ordering process is alittle confusing, so be sure to ask questions about the menu! I got the Kale Caesar salad and it was light with strong flavors (very filling too). I got the coastal style beer batter taco and it was very fresh and had great tropical flavors to accompany it! The salmon I got was cooked perfectly and came with coleslaw(average) and decent sweet potato fries. The piccata sauce is very rich and aromatic! Definitely would come here to try more items! read more

I would give the Fish District a solid 4 stars. The food is great, the service is fast, and nice ambiance. It's located in a shopping center with plenty of free parking. The menu has lots of options, from grilled to deep fried sea food. They take pride in their unique sauces. read more

Love their fish! Shared the poke bowl with quinoa with my toddler! She loves every bite and tried quinoa the first time :p The large bowl is kinda small imo (but maybe I am used to everything big where I came from) Hubby's fish tacos are really good too! I would love to try their fish and chip next! read more

Clean and welcoming establishment. The fish and chips are all that and more. We got takeout two nights in a row and came back a week later to dine in. Enjoying the crunchy fish and chips in the restaurant was even better! The salmon and kale bowl and steak bowl were delicious as well. You won't be disappointed. read more
