I asked for some slight variations on the menu and they handled it no problem, with smiles! Love places like this! What champs! The vibe inside was casual but still a nice place to meet up for dinner, we were in a cozy booth in the back and I really liked the lively atmosphere that was still chill at the same time if that makes sense. The server was really nice (sorry I didn't get his name) but I was impressed with how many times he checked in to make sure we were enjoying our meal!! I will definitely be back to try more, this location is really nice and close to a lot of things in the area. Great place to meet up with friends!

First time here and trying Bay Park in SD…read more There were about 10 open tables inside and 3 open tables outside. Hostess said it was a 20 minute wait. So we went to the bar where it was full and waited 5 minutes for a table to open up. We ordered the lemon pepper shrimp appetizer, michelada, and Maui draft. The michelada was delicious. For dinner we had the sushi tower, panko fish taco and the cod fish and chips. The lemon pepper fried shrimp never made it out. The sushi tower had wonton chips and a red, green sauce on the side with pickled ginger and wasabi. My order of fish and chips was slightly disappointing. This was a cheat meal for us so the fries were cold and hard. Note to kitchen: don't serve cold, hard French fries. The cod came in 3 pieces and had a nice tartar sauce. The fish taco was huge but it was dry and needed either more sauce or lemon. Hostess: 1 star Bar staff: 4 stars Kitchen: 2.5 stars Result avg= 2.5 stars Wish our dining experience would have been better. I would have bought a shirt.

I…read morewalked into this spot on a whim because I was in the area and hungry and got their fish tacos during their weekday happy hour for a great price! I believe it was $3-4 per taco. I absolutely inhaled it! Fish was so crispy and perfectly cooked and the salsas and toppings were great, no complaints! Then, my aunt who lives in SD took my entire family here cause she said it's the best! What a coincidence! Got their huge seafood tower, birria tacos, and al pastor tacos, california carne asada burrito. Honestly, wayyy better than Tacos El Gordo (overhyped) or the Taco Stand across the street. Everything was delicioussss! Seafood was so fresh and tasty. Al pastor was really good and I typically don't prefer al pastor. Carne asada was okay, i think it could be more flavorful. Definitely should order their seafood items first. Service was quick and helpful. It was crowded since it was a weekend during lunch rush, and my family had to squeeze into two booths but honestly would 10000% come back. I still think about this meal from time to time...

There were five of us ladies, and it was really nice to be able to enjoy crab legs, adult chicken tenders, mocktails, and some people got cocktails. When we arrived, we had to wait for the whole party to get there and so it was only about a five minute wait while the others parked. NOTE: Parking is a challenge in this shopping center. I highly recommend parking on the side streets. Luckily my friend that I rode with was able to get a parking spot within the first three minutes of us arriving. The place was not packed, which was good. There were only about 20 people dining when we got there. As soon as we were seated, it was great because we were seated next to family members that we didn't know we're going to be there. That was really cool. Overall, the visit was perfect. The service was great. Brian was our server. For five people we ordered: 2 crab leg combos bags with House sauce mild, 1 order a sweet potato fries as the appetizer, 1 adult chicken tenders meal with a side of House sauce, and 4 bowl sides of rice. They give you so much rice that I would recommend two people sharing the bowl. The rice is made perfect perfectly with perfect sticky level and perfect tender consistency. Our crab legs were delicious and very filling as well as the corn and potatoes that comes in the bag. The house mild seasoning was perfect. I have to say that the sweet potato fries were a bit spicy and peppery. Overall, we had excellent customer service, a good time, and the place was clean, which makes it extra special. I will definitely come back to this location again.

There were about 4-5 pieces each of crab legs, crawfish, claim, mussel, corn and sausages. We wanted it mild with full house sauce, which was pretty tasty but I would go with medium if i come back next time. There were many clam without the meat though. They posted a notice that they would charge 18% service fee. We ended up paying about $180 which was a bit expensive for the amount of seafood that we got. That's for a seafood basket alone, no side dishes or appetizer or drinks. We got there around 4pm so i had no problem finding a parking spot. This parking lot is usually full so plan accordingly.

This is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego. Their tonkatsu is breaded very…read morenicely and has a very light crispy texture. It doesn't feel overly oily which is an indication for high quality tonkatsu. Their side cabbage salad pairs very well with the meat, offering respite when the meal starts feeling a bit heavy. They also include Japanese pickles and mustard which offers a chance to have different bites and flavor/texture profiles with your tonkatsu. Recently though, I ordered my usual (loin katsu) and struggled to finish it for the first time. The pork cut that was used was particularly very fatty and made me slightly nauseous. They also changed their side salad to include shredded green onions which was nice at first but started to feel overpowering and less refreshing. I think moving forward I will opt for changing my order to the filet katsu which is a leaner cut of meat to avoid this experience again. But this one bad experience hasn't deterred me yet from wanting to come back. The restaurant itself is very aesthetic and has a traditional Japanese design. They recently remodeled to include more seating which makes the entrance into the resturante quite cramped. However, I can't fault them wanting to expand their seating and their business. The waitresses are always very hospitable and attentive.

We came here on a Thursday night and it was quite crowded (the $1.25 oysters probably contributed to that). We came back on a Saturday night and it was less busy. Staff and Service: - Order at the counter and they'll give you a number to put on a dock at your table. Servers bring food out to you Food and Drinks: - Baka taco: this is the monthly special for October, and it's delicious. Flavorful and it's a big taco! - Oysters: tasty. Always fun to choose which kind you want. And $1.25 on Thursdays is such a good deal. - Mac salad: fun little side - Ahi Poke: comes with wonton chips. Good flavor and sits on a bed of seaweed salad - Spicy Dorado Taco: I had higher hopes for this. The fish was dry and my taco had a bed of cilantro (with full stems) on top. - Swordfish plate: delicious and filling (would get again) - Sea Bass plate: tasty, but not as good as the swordfish - Aperol Spritz: delicious and good size Miscellaneous: - Parking available via street parking - Indoor and outdoor seating available - Good for big and small groups - Good for families - Very casual (not meant for a romantic and intimate date)

We were out on our morning walk and realized we were standing in front of the restaurant. So, we decided to walk on in! We were quickly greeted by their employees. There were a couple of kiosks to make your order. There was a big menu behind the counter. Yesss, you can also make your order at the counter! We ended up ordering the grilled plates. You pick your protein, your sauce, and two sides. I chose the salmon, garlic butter sauce, kaleslaw, and opted to pay for the sweet potato fries! The second order was the rock fish, kaleslaw, zucchini, and chipotle sauce!! We loved what we ordered! Everything tasted fresh and made to order. They even customized the zucchini order. It came with rosemary and we are not a fan. The only disappointment was that they were out of the Sea Bass and cauliflower rice. There was someone eating the fish and chips and that really looked good!! ;) We will be back to try out other menu options. There's outdoor seating available. The week we were there was a heatwave so no one was sitting outside. Restrooms available for guests, we did not use it. Amp

Mr. Fish and Chips - Over 50 Years Running and Still Crispy Tasty!!…read more We first stumbled into Mr. Fish and Chips over 20 years ago after a Vons run, and now whenever we have a hankering for some "chippy" we make the 25 minute trip to our spot. Menu offers the favorites - shrimp, oysters, clams, scallops and ofcourse cod. We usually order the family combo-size cod with two large sides (or four regular ones), fried zucchini, chips, hushpuppies, steak-cut fries and onion rings. We paid extra for onion rings. Always ordered like today is a Vegas buffet extravaganza. The star of the show is the fish: golden, seriously crispy batter with tender, flaky cod goodness. The light salting enhances the fish's delicate flavor without overpowering it, and there's none of that heavy, greasy coating that gives you that uncomfortable oil overdose. The place is quaint, with a handful of tables inside and a few more under the umbrellas on the porch, but nobody comes here for fancy décor. We're here for that crunch! Sam keeps this place a gourmet boutique. When the crowd rolls in, he can juggle being the front man and chef, keeping orders moving while still finding time for a friendly chat. That personal touch, paired with consistently good food, is the reason we keep coming back. After 20-plus years, Mr. Fish and Chips still delivers. Just arrive hungry, because leaving with leftovers demands u use your air fryer. ***** Food: Crispy, flavorful cod, and generous portions all around! **** Atmosphere: Cozy - casual, and welcoming, with a neighborhood feel and a busy dinner rush. ***** Customer service: Verdict: Two decades later, still a favorite - great fish, serious crunch, and no nonsense. Five stars - highest possible rating for sure.
