    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…

    I used to come as a kid and this place had me in love with fish and chips! I've returned since I…read morewas in the area and am pleased it perhaps got even better than before. Their tartar sauce is creamy but not chunky and is amazing! Definitely don't sleep on it and order that extra sauce because as crispy and flaky as the fish is by itself - it is not worth eating without that sauce. The coleslaw is crunchy and refreshing. The vegetable assortment comes with huge chunky pieces. Service was a bit slower than expected for my Togo order but it was still pleasant nonetheless. They offered everything I needed to enjoy my meal and their prices are very reasonable. The cute tugboat exterior is hard to miss, and the interior is decorated with old fish posters. Though it is dated inside, it does not impede on the overall experience.

    Incredible meal and incredible service. We got our meal to go, 2-2 fish dinners, 4 fried prawns,…read morehush puppies and fried mushrooms. The texture on the batter was incredibly thin and remained crispy even when doused with malt vinegar and tartar sauce. The hush puppies were savory and not too dense, a nice bite in between fish and fries. She even threw in an extra piece of fish in our meals and they're already huge! I got a lot of stuff to try everything out but I was satisfied after one piece of fish and a couple prawns and mushrooms. No complaints at all, everything was on point.

They were very patient while my partner and I were looking at their posted menu and the man who took my order was so friendly and welcoming. I would like to preface that I usually hate fish and chips because I've never been to a restaurant where the fish didn't taste a little sour or mushy. Well, this place proved that there is a good restaurant out there and that I actually love fish and chips. We ordered the fish burger combo, the seafood sampler, a krabby cake, and their special (1 fish and clams). We didn't eat right away since we wanted to eat at home and even after a 20-30 min drive, everything was still really crispy and tasted fresh. My absolute favorite was the fried scallops that were included in the seafood sampler. The krabby cake was a close second, it was so flavorful and even though it was $5.99 for just one, I would 100% order it again (I still think about it to this day). The fried fish was also really big, they definitely don't skimp out on the size. I'm already looking forward to my next visit, it was definitely worth the drive and time. I just wish they had given more tartar sauce for the food we ordered. We were only given 2 which wasn't really enough.

I preferred lighter battered due to the heavy battered that is used but overall their food is good. Everyone has raved about this place and I've passed this place hundreds of times. My mom and ai decided to drop in after the movies. We are not displeased nor pleased. It's depending on tastes buds. Ours unfortunately didn't hit the tonsils like we thought it would. Going back is out of the questions due to the breading for us. Food wasn't bad. I love their absolute friendly services. If you're ever in the area stop by and give them a try. We all don't have the same taste buds. Appears to be some local favorites therefore you might not have to search no further for your fish and chips

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!
