You wouldn't expect this location but the quality of their fresh fish is amazing! Tried the ahi tuna bowl and the fish and chips and both were absolutely delicious!

Let me tell you the food is amazing here!! The customer service is even better! If you want to have a nice fresh meal, this is the place.

I ordered wild salmon from Kanaloa for a catering job I did for a family at Thanksgiving! Kanaloa was very efficient with the order.. they cut each piece exactly as I wanted which made my preparation so much easier! Paola was exceptionally great and followed up with a phone call to make sure everything was on track . Super professional and friendly! The results were great and the family I cooked for loved the fish, which I made a pomegranate reduction for! Another note , I ordered fish tacos with a side of the Korean sauce and some chowder. Both were so delicious. The fish taco was by far the best I've had with no fishy smell exceptional fish . So delicious! I highly recommend them, I'm a critic when it comes to quality of food! read more

Small out-of-the-way place that is really a fish market so the fish tacos and other entrées are outstanding

New price for the fish tacos: 2 for $11 or 3 for $16. The clam chowder was $7 (without the bowl)--we ordered two bowls. The fish tacos were great. Didn't have a fishy taste, batter to fish ratio seemed balanced and the combination with veggies and sauces were great. The only downside is that they only give one small little piece of fish in each taco. Most fish taco spots I've tried give a larger portion of fish, smh. As for the clam chowder, we must've caught them on a bad day or something. I read other reviews raving about the chowder so I was pretty excited to try (that's why we ordered two). Idk if the soup had gone bad, but it had a sour taste to it. NO GOOD!! We ended up tossing the soups because we didn't want to risk eating bad seafood. UGH! What a waste of money. Please enlighten me if that's the way their soup usually tastes. read more

Need some fresh, quality and delicious seafood? Looking to up your fish dinner game? Then look no further than Kanaloa. This fish market + cafe can be found inside a busy business park. Kanaloa is one of Ventura County's best kept secrets. And for good reason. The shop is locally owned. If you go early in the morning, the fish board will be chock full of selections. Selections go quick throughout the day. You can pre order online, as well. They ship and deliver locally, if needed. I recently picked up some halibut, rock cod, albacore, salmon and shrimp. All were fresh and gorgeous pieces of fish at a good price. The freshness and quality cannot be best at a fair price. The market is fantastic too. They serve lunch until 3pm. I highly recommend the po boy, tacos and chicken club. The prices for lunch are reasonable and enough for two meals. Everything is served to go or for on-site lunch. There are tables inside and out. We enjoy sitting outside. The service is top notch. You might even get to meet the owners who are super nice New Englanders. They stand by the quality of their product that can be found in many local restaurants. See website for hours, location and cafe menu. Closed on weekends. read more

No-frills place (actually under-frilled, if that's possible)... but delicious food. We got Korean Tacos and a Shrimp Po Boy to share. I thought the sandwich was really good and I'd come back for it, and the tacos were even better and I can't wait to get them again. The only thing that would make this place better is if they tidied up the hallway leading to the restroom more and didn't have spare boxes of service items sitting around. read more

Love getting sushi grade fish here. The prices are affordable and the fish is always super delicious. Never ate their food or stayed inside longer than waiting for my order. But the inside is nice and I would totally eat there. read more

Great food! Everything tastes fresh and comes out quick! Get the fish tacos. Great spot for a quick lunch and very friendly staff .

Omg!!!! The service is amazing! Sweetest young girl who always remembers everything I order, down to "lots of ice" and extra sauce! I'd eat lunch here every day if I could. Best chicken tacos I've ever had. read more

TAKE OUT: Service is pretty good. There seems to only be a couple people working here each tome I come, so they're pretty busy. I have been here multiple times and I keep coming back because they're the best option for food in a 5 mile radius. I typically get two items: fish tacos or Korean salmon tacos. The latest time I got the fried fish tacos, it needed a lot more sauce. The fish was cooked perfectly, the tortilla was so good, the salsa was so fresh, but it ate dry because it needed some sauce or something to kind of bring all the textures together. It's a shame they didn't put enough sauce. If you get more sauce, they are PERFECT. The Korean tacos, on the other hand.. had SO MUCH sauce that it was borderline salty. Having said that, the tacos are so amazingly flavorful and the fish is cooked so perfectly that you can easily forgive over saucing it. Both tacos are so good I can never choose which one to get. I would just highly suggest to get more sauce on the side for the fried fish in case they don't put enough. Overall, BEST PLACE to get lunch. Everything is made fresh, so if you're in a hurry.. be sure to call ahead! Fresh food takes time! You won't regret coming here and I guarantee You'll be back! I definitely will! read more

Ridiculously fresh seafood. Poke bowls are tasty and any tacos is going to be amazing and of course you can't go wrong with fish and chips. Make sure to check hours of operation before you head over as they close earlier than most restaurants read more

Fresh and yummy food. Once you get passed the fishy seafood smell, this place is sooo good. Great flavors and options. This place also processes their own fish that is caught. They sell fish hence the smell. Small restaurant and also has outside seating if you cannot deal with the smell. Customer service was great and friendly. read more

I first went here per the suggestion of a friend. My husband works nearby and when visiting him for lunch we decided to give Kanaloa Seafood a try and I'm glad we did! It's a subtle restaurant nestled in, what looks like, an industrial park off of Lombard St. There's a small outdoor seating area and a few tables inside. Once you step in the aroma of fresh fish hits you and that's due to primarily operating as a fish market. Their menu is straightforward but all of their seafood is so fresh and I couldn't wait to try! I ordered the poke bowl and found it to be quite refreshing and light. My husband ordered an assortment of their fish tacos. He thought they were okay - nothing terribly special about them. I thought they were flavorful and I really liked their sauces. Nevertheless, we really enjoyed how fresh their fish was and I could definitely see us returning. read more

Discovered Kanaloa Seafood on Yelp after looking for something different and hopefully a little healthier for lunch. When I followed the GPS directions, I thought for sure there must have been a mistake because it led me to a very industrial-looking street. But then, there it was tucked into the corner of an office building without any obvious signage! The first thing I noticed was the smell. As soon as I got out of my car, it smelled very fishy. I know, you're going to say "well, duh, it's a FISH MARKET,", but I've been to Tsukiji and it didn't smell this strong! I decided to give them a try anyway and had the fish and chips (so much for a healthy lunch). The fish was really good, beer battered, flaky and fresh. The fries were delicious as well, piping hot and plentiful. I would come back because the bread bowl clam chowder, fish tacos and shrimp po boy are calling my name. I'll probably just get my food to go though to save myself from the fishy smell. read more

Kanaloa Seafood - Fish and chips - Seafood Near Me - Oxnard, California

My wife and I tried this place today for lunch and the food is delicious. My wife had the clam chowder in a bread bowl and I had the shrimp po' boy. Both were better than expected. The chowder rivals the versions we've tasted in places like San Francisco. One reviewer is right about the fishy smell as you come in and the customer service could use some work. Other than those things, the food is worth it because you can taste the quality seafood in the dishes. read more

Kanaloa Seafood - Fish taco and Korean salmon taco - Seafood Near Me - Oxnard, California

This place is a gem. It's both a place to buy fresh fish and a small restaurant. I'm so happy to have found it while looking for a place to grab lunch. The staff was super friendly, service was fast since there weren't many patrons at noon on a weekday, and the food was delicious. Definitely recommend the Korean salmon tacos: corn tortillas, sweet and spicy sauce, fresh salmon, cabbage, and pickles. This salmon was seriously amazing. Juicy and cooked to perfection. If I lived closer they would have all my money. I would be buying their fish to cook at home and eating here all the time. read more

Kanaloa Seafood - Korean salmon tacos - Seafood Near Me - Oxnard, California

Great food and soft drinks! Its been months since I've been in and I was really impressed with the quality of the food this time. My corn tortillas were homemade. I dont remember them being that good last time. The sauce on the tacos were tangy and spicy. The fish was delicious and fresh. Most importantly, this place really is a green friendly establishment. They had all of the recycling bins for every item I consumed and that made me happy! FYI: I noticed the tacos price increased by $2 since I last was in December 2016. I also noticed the prices increased on other items as well. read more

I really liked their fish tacos, fish and chips, and the Chicken club. Close for lunch. And then the personnel changed. No the fish is either over done or under done, it is taking one hour to get two sandwiches made. Don't k ow why the staff rotated but it will keep me from ordering for lunch for a while. read more

I ordered half lb swordfish then they would help me grill it w the cost $5. First slice, he sliced 0.97lb. I told him he could cut it into half, i wwould take half. He said that means he needed to sell half later. He would do it again ( so he doesnt need to sell the first slice after he cut the 2nd one????). 2nd slice, he tried to do very thin, i told him it was too thin, he said it should be almost half lb, couldnt be exact, and he gave us a 0.37 lb????? Super thin slice. My husband ordered the po boy shrimp. The shrimp batter was very dark yellow color. I guess bc of the old oil??? Bye bye then. read more

This fish market now has a kitchen that serves and prepares food during lunch hours. Small dining area, but I imagine a lot of people calling in or taking it to go being located in an industrial area. My first visit was on the same day as the grand opening of the kitchen. The woman at the counter informed me that their lunch hours are from 11AM to 2PM. I walked in a little after 2PM, but she said I can still order food because it was the grand opening and could use the exposure. Great initial customer service here. I ordered two crispy fish tacos with avocado. The presentation of the plate was great, but didn't match how the food tasted. The batter was soggy and no crisp. My tortilla was splitting because of it soaked in juices from the pile of pineapple salsa they top the tacos with. All I was able to taste was damn pineapple with each bite. It did not go well together in my opinion. Their prices seemed a bit high. A meal and a drink for one can be in the price range of $12-$15+. I will probably return at some point. The woman did mention that they plan to expand their menu to match exactly what is on the menu at the Santa Barbara location (more sandwiches) once they settle in. read more

A lunchtime favorite with coworkers. It's tucked away within industrial complex area, so you would never know there's great spot for lunch. The staff is super friendly. I've like their fish tacos best, but their poke bowls are great too. As they're seafood distributor, all their fish is so fresh. Don't forget to grab cookie - my coworkers have been raving about them since our last visit. I'll have to try one on out next lunch outing. They're only open for lunch M-F read more

First time to order from the Oxnard site and it definitely won't be my last, the best Salmon tacos ever anywhere...also ordered the clam chowder and totally surprised, it was better than my former favorite from Lure.

I was waited on by a lovely lady named Candy, service was prompt and everything was correct and complete...I'll be back!!! read more
