    Beer Battered Cod Fish ~ $10 each
    Jean S.

    Oh Bento is a fairly new, local casual restaurant that serves a variety of fish and chips, grilled seafood, and other like eats. It replaced the former Wave Fish and Chips just a little over a year ago. It is a fast casual eatery located off a busy street in the city of Carmichael. We actually came here looking for Wave Fish and Chips and discovered it had changed to Oh Bento. The owner was very welcoming and even honored a coupon we had for the prior establishment. We got 2 orders of the beer battered cod fish, one with Parmesan garlic fries and one with fresh skin on sweet potato fries. Each order was $10. For dips, we chose the tartar sauce and the roasted garlic aioli. We decided to dine outside as they had a few tables set up and a very warm heat lamp. On a cold December night, the heat lamp felt awesome. When the food came out, we tried the fried fish and really enjoyed them with the dipping sauces. The tartar sauce was great for the fried fish, but the garlic aioli was surprisingly amazing! I was really impressed and used it for the fries and some of the fish. We noticed they accidentally gave us regular French fries instead of parmesan garlic, but we were okay with it. The fries were good and the sweet potato fries were even better. The owner was super nice and made sure we really enjoyed our meal. He provided really good customer service. We definitely enjoyed dining out at this new local restaurant. I would definitely recommend Oh Bento if you are in the mood for fish and chips or other fried or grilled seafood. The prices are reasonable, portions are good (great for fries), and it's great to support small businesses during these times. They have takeout and provide sanitizer.

    "Garlic fries" - just disgusting fried chunks of garlic

    Wow... So not sure if they sold to someone else or just cratered in the quality of their food. I came here late night months and months ago. Never finished the review, but had been excited to come back. It was a four star review that started like this: "Rare for there to be places that just tick the boxes with a smile. The food, delicious, unpretentious. Got the beer battered shrimp and Buffalo wings. " I remember the proprietor was friendly and the food was delicious. Fast forward to today...Wth? The food was just gross. The worst fried food, thick coating, stale tasting chicken with a fetid green/black color, popcorn shrimp was hard and reheated...I could keep going on and on. It's just really hard to believe this is the same place. It's a travesty that this location gets to keep up the old photos. Just tragic. Update- chicken wasn't just stale, that was left out, I just ended up throwing up several times.

    Ordered thru DoorDash for their fish & chips. First time I've ordered was better. Second time, it was alright. Kinda bland. I still prefer Tugboat's fish & chips. The size of the fish was pretty good tho. I think next time I would want to try their shrimp tacos and Parmesan garlic wings.

    My first time here by the reviews it seemed like a pretty good place decided to drive down 15 min and give it a try on my lunch break. Placed an order online 30 mins before it opened which I didn't realize they open at 11:30. Pretty disappointed. I ordered the cod fish and fries and my fries aren't fresh they are old fries.

    What a delightful find in the previous waves seafood storefront. The food was extremely fresh tasting and my fish and chips were cooked to perfection - not oily or heavy with batter so the cod flavor really came through. My daughter had the terryaki chickens wings with sweet potato fries and they were quite good with loads of umami flavor. We took our food to go because it was cold and rainy and sat in the car at Ancil Hoffman park watching the birds play in the rain puddles and rivulets. A nice break from the endless ho hum of work at home world.

    Burnt onion rings and grocery store frozen fish! For $12.99! Bullshit!

    Don't eat here! Rip off! $12.99 for this bullshit! Burnt onion rings and grocery store frozen fish!

    Love this place. Its a great hole in the wall with amazing food. It doesn't look impressive and you should be prepared to wait. Its small family owned. Its worth it. The cauliflower is the best I've ever had. I never knew it could taste like that. The wings, spring rolls, fish and chips were all incredible. Our vegan daughter loves this place for their vegan quesadilla and the cauliflower. Just tell them you want vegan. We are hooked. Prices are very reasonable.

    The cauliflower popcorn is so yummy!

    Love this new restaurant!They are in an awesome location in Carmichael and I had the cauliflower popcorn which was so delicious!Love the new management and will be back soon!

    Do they have halibut fish & chips?

    I have never seen Halibut on the menu it's Cod and Salmon. However the menu does change seasonally so perhaps in the future it may be.

    So, I hate to be the food crank, but just thought I would ask if he serves any food that is not breaded (wheat allergy here)? That is besides the salad :)

    I've had "The Ripple" (grilled tilapia on a salad with mixed beans, corn, and salsa) and I'm fairly certain the whole thing was wheat-free (though I'd ask about the dressing just in case). They also have "The Tidal" (grilled salmon with either… Read more

    My first review of 2026 goes to Tugboat Fish and Chips because it was just so delicious! I've…read moredriven by numerous times over the years and wish that I would've stopped by long ago because I've been missing out on this hidden gem! My family dropped by for lunch and were warmly greeted pretty quickly. Parking was easy since there is a small lot off the main road. There's plenty of seating indoors with high chairs available if needed. Prices are very reasonable especially for the amount they give you. We opted for a 3 piece fish and chips, two extra fish, and a cup of clam chowder. The food came out relatively quick and piping hot. I was surprised with the quantity of fish they gave us and they even added a fried zucchini and onion, yum! The soup and fries were yummy but it was the fish that really stood out to me. The pieces were big and juicy with not too much batter. The batter was perfectly crispy on the outside. My husband, toddler, and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The service was friendly and wonderful too. We will definitely be back!

I placed my order over the phone, and the person who helped me had great phone etiquette, friendly, clear, and quick. By the time I arrived, my food was ready, hot, and super fresh. I ordered the 3-piece fish & chips, and let me tell you... these pieces were not small. You definitely get your money's worth here. The portions were generous, the batter was crispy, and everything tasted like it came straight out of the fryer in the best way. The inside could use a little updating, but honestly the quality of the food and the solid customer service more than make up for it. If you're craving classic fish and chips, this place hits the spot!
