    Taco Tuesday
    Chase K.

    AMAAAAAAAAZZZINGGGGG!!! Welcome to greatness!! We walked in and was met by the most amazing hostess she was so kind getting a table and high chair for the baby set up. Good to note the high chair was very clean! She asked if we'd been before which we haven't and proceeded to tell us all about what was in store! She really made the trip so memorable, we could have been fed garbage (we weren't) and we'd come back for her! We got tacos on the taco Tuesday menu and all were a hit! The Cajun ahi taco was not my favorite and I will say the corn tortilla was a bit disappointing. Still getting 5 stars for the service and it is a fish place not necessarily taco spot. My favorite taco was a banging shrimp which was not battered but fried shrimp with a sweet and spicy sauce and it was so good. These tacos were also loaded with fish so the deal was well worth it! We look forward to coming back as it was clean, well priced, and fun! We also heard that the chef / owner is adding some dishes and I always love when a place expands the menu and tries new things!

    The daily specials are a great value

    Simply Fish Seafood is the real deal. Owner Derek Taguchi clearly knows what he's doing, and it shows in every aspect of the restaurant. The seafood is incredibly fresh, high quality, and prepared with care, yet the prices remain surprisingly reasonable, a combination that's hard to find these days. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is lively, welcoming, and just plain fun, making it a great spot whether you're grabbing a casual dinner or celebrating with friends and family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's obvious this place was built by someone with a genuine passion for seafood and creating a great dining experience. If you're looking for outstanding seafood without the fine dining price tag, Simply Fish should be at the top of your list. I'll definitely be back!

    Shrimp Taquitos
    Willy T.

    I went here with a party of 3 on a Saturday afternoon and it was a good experience. The menu is quite large and there was live music to keep us entertained. We had shrimp taquitos and fried clams for our appetizers and I ordered the Brazilian Lobster Special for my entree. The taquito were good, and the clams were good too but they gave us so many that after a while it started to get old. I think this would be a great option for a larger party still. The lobster meal that I got had beans and coleslaw. It was good but nothing groundbreaking. Overall I really liked the vibes here and I want to come back to try more of their menu items.

    I had reservations for 5:30. My family checked in at 5:15 and they were told there would be a delay. When I arrived at 5:20 I checked in myself. I walked up to the hostess podium and I was ignored. Then I said that I was checking in for 5:30p reservations and the hostess said " that's gonna be much later than. I'll probably get your party in closer to 6:30p." Obviously I was upset by this response since we drove over an hour to this restaurant for the sole purpose of a celebration of life. If reservations were going to be ignored then I would not have bothered making them in a timely matter as I was instructed to do by the organizer of the evening. I basically got the brush off like there was nothing they could do since people were not leaving (including walk-ins) after a 90 min dining limit was posted outside. I was very peeved about this response and said clearly that is not my problem yet I am being penalized. My first encounter with the hostess carried throughout my visit. Our servers name was Linda and she took our drink order as soon as we were seated, however it did seem to take a while for our drinks to arrive. Apologies were made again for the wait but at this point it was clear there was gonna be an issue throughout the meal. I ordered a Caprese salad with brussels sprouts to share family style .When my salad arrived there was no basil. It was just mozzarella and tomatoes, balsamic and olive oil with a dried herb sprinkled on top. When I asked my server if this is how the Caprese is served she said yes. I never had a Caprese with no leaves of basil. Needless to say it's not what I wanted nor expected. My sprouts were dry and overcooked. Linda was truly trying to be accommodating. I could tell she is working very hard to satisfy our group despite the fact the restaurant was packed. Linda was great. We decided to share key lime pie and the warm butter cake w/ ice cream and raspberry sauce. The key lime pie was fine. The warm butter cake was a bit different as it had a hard sugar top. Ice cream with raspberry sauce on the side as well as below. It was too much sauce for my taste. More like a jelly doughnut. My blueberry pomegranate margarita was the best part of my meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were so many things that may seem small but were enhanced because I was already upset. The fact the restaurant overly committed and couldn't handle the amount of people was a real issue.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    FISH & CHIPS
    Jenn H.

    I can only speak about my food. Since they claim they have the best fish & chips that's what I got. Fish, nice big pieces. Perfectly battered and crispy. The fries were seasoned well and maybe a little battered to lock in the flavor. It came out piping hot and fresh! So, yes I agree. The BEST fish and chips! Coleslaw was bland and had raisins. That visually was a turn off for me. Coleslaw didn't have enough dressing and was more like a cabbage salad. I don't remember any condiments on the tables. It would have been nice to have at least salt and pepper. Other items my table ordered: Caprese salad NO basil. You really can't call it Caprese salad then. Brussel sprouts. They were okay but definitely had too much of a "roasted" flavor (aka burnt). I could only eat a couple. Cioppino was okay. Again I wish it had more garlic and flavor. The sauce seemed more like marinara than a wine broth. We were there for a luau memorial. One of the regular musicians wife passed away. She was a regular and loved person at Simply Fish and in the Hawaiian community. We made reservations like we were instructed to do so. When we checked in ON TIME, we were told we would maybe be seated in an hour. The hostesses were kinda flippant and dismissive to the fact we followed the rules and made a proper reservation. They even said in front of us that more people came than expected who did NOT have reservations. It was the attitude of the hostesses that were unprofessional. I understand it was a memorial for a VERY loved individual but why punish the people who followed the rules? We did make a reservation. We did get seated only because another member of the community gave up their table and left early. It was a crazy busy night. Our server Linda was fantastic. She was still able to deliver fast and efficient service. We really appreciate her aloha and service. She was very fond of Auntie Consuelo too and it really showed. She was really helpful in ordering our food. The rest of the table wanted dessert. They ordered key lime pie and butter cake. I think the key lime pie was the better one of the two because that disappeared first. Butter cake looked like they torched it like a creme brûlée. I'm no pastry chef or connoisseur but that butter cake did not look like a butter cake. Calling the processed sauce coulis doesn't make it taste better. It still tasted like it came out of can. For MY food and service, it would have been 5 stars. All the food overall took away the 2 stars.

    How did I not know about Simply Fish Seafood sooner?! Think of California Fish Grill on steroids! I'm so glad my friends introduced me to this place, and we even got seated next to the owner, Derek, who was so pleasant, kind, and humble. He and his staff went above and beyond, and made us feel so special. We came on St. Patrick's Day, which was perfect for their Taco Tuesday specials. We ordered a ton of food, and nothing disappointed. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. When it comes to seafood, it is usually a hit or miss for me, and items such as fish are easily overcooked. Not here. We got the CIOPPINO $22, with fettuccine $7 extra, ROCKIN' SHRIMP TACOS $3.50 each, a battered fish taco $4, a FILET MIGNON TACO $4.50 (special prices on Taco Tuesday), SHRIMP TAQUITOS (5 for $12), the WARM SEAFOOD SALAD w/ lime vinaigrette $23, and the SEABASS with rice/French fries $16. My favorites include the cioppino, Rockin' shrimp tacos (their best-selling taco), the shrimp taquitos, and the warm seafood salad. The tacos were huge and delicious as well. The fish taco was a little salty. Their menu is extensive, and they even have a SECRET MENU for more options. Could it get any better?! They even have LIVE ENTERTAINMENT on Wed, and Fri through Sun, although reservations are required on Fridays I believe, for their Tribute to Frank Sinatra and their classic 70s/80s/90s night. I definitely need to come back soon. This may be my favorite place in OC for seafood now. Fine dining quality at an affordable price, not to mention huge portions and great value! You can even order lobster tails and steak here, or add them onto your entree for an additional cost. This is the BEST RESTAURANT I have eaten at so far in 2026. Happy eating! Yelp Review #30- 2026

    Not this small but definately 70 dollar large/
    Steve O.

    Sorry to say our second trip was marred by the purchase of their supposed huge lobster tail for about 70 dollars. When it came it was the same size as the ones they sell at Costco. We got taken but didn't complain because it was a birthday party and we didn't want to spoil the event. The salesman/waiter duped us and now we will never come back.

    I haven't been here in a while. Came back recently and noticed Simply Fish went upscale :). They have live music at dinner time. One-man band. Good entertainment. My spicy salmon salad was good but it would have been nicer to get the center cut of the salmon instead of end pieces. Salmon was a tad fishy. 4/5 My husband had the fish & chips and that was good. 5/5 Service was good.

    Calamari = addicting
    Laura H.

    Good seafood and friendly staff. The space is one room with a high ceiling, but it felt cramped with how close the tables are to each other. Long wait time for dinner when we went on a Friday night, and service was a bit slow since it was packed, but staff eventually checked in to make sure we got everything. Orange roughy with fries and grilled zucchini: 3/5. The fish tasted plain, as it was very mildly seasoned. The creamy sauce was quite skimpy, and it didn't really add much flavor to the dish, but the lemon helped a little. Apps/sides such as clam chowder, calamari, and breaded scallops: 5/5. We enjoyed these a lot - they were addictive and had great textures. Definitely group pleasers. Location is in a small plaza off Harbor Blvd and Adams Ave. Free parking in the lot is available, and we didn't have any issue finding a spot even though it was a busy in the plaza.

    Simple fish when you come in you feel like you are in Hawaii they have a huge variety and everything fresh from the sea. I love the Ahi pokey and the guacamole was my favorite and also the sea bass on grill. Everything was delicious. Thank you Casey

    I've had this place bookmarked for a while, and decided to come in on a Friday at 2:30. Lucky for me it was happy hour menu! We tried the lobster roll and that was $35 if you get two it's $60. I got the three taco selection and for happy hour. It's only $12. Even beers on draft at happy hour is six dollars each, which are all really reasonable prices. The menu is huge. I had a hard time deciding and thoughts and this was my first time I wanted to give something off their happy hour menu a try. Their service is excellent and they have a live. Frank Sinatra impersonator on Friday evenings and a jazz singer on Saturday evening evenings. The place is fairly large cozy and has a diner type feel . I wouldn't mind coming back to try other dishes .

    Clam chowder
    Shauntina S.

    Last night my family and I went to Simply Fish for dinner. I've been passing it on my way home for years and always meant to stop in, and this finally gave us a reason to go. My sister had the clam chowder bowl. Both of my nieces ordered bowls as well--one had a rock shrimp bowl and the other had a salmon bowl. I ordered the filet mignon skewer with a 4-ounce lobster. We also shared the sampler as an appetizer, but I didn't get a photo because it disappeared pretty quickly. Everyone really enjoyed their food. They had live music playing, which was actually really nice. When we arrived around 8:30 PM, the restaurant was very full and we got the last table, but we never felt rushed. We were able to take our time, enjoy the music, and relax. My skewer was tender and well seasoned. The lobster was small since it was a 4-ounce portion, but the meat was still very tender and flavorful. As for service, our server was very kind but a bit forgetful and on the slower side getting things back to us. That could have been because it was busy when we first arrived, but even later in the evening when it had cleared out, that was still the case. He may have been in training, so I'm not holding it completely against him. There was another man and woman who came around and delivered our food, and they were much better. I won't take off any stars for the service, but I do think a little more training would be helpful.

Totally understandable as it's peak summer, and a weekend, they get busy. The restaurant was hot and humid. Now I'm sure they have AC, and even with all the windows and patio doors being open, they really should have opted to use the AC. The entire dining experience was uncomfortable. We ate our meal literally sweating. Even our server was sweating lol All our drinks went room temp in a matter of 10 minutes, we had to repeatedly ask for glasses of ice from the bar just to try and mitigate our body temperatures somehow. Also, the booth itself was incredibly tacky. And I don't mean visually tacky, I mean the texture. The feeling of plastic when it gets really old and it feels sticky to the touch, that tacky. You couldn't slide in or out of that booth if your life depended on it. And again, considering how humid and hot the interior was, it only made it worse. The lighting was also so dim that it gave the vibes of being sat in the corner of a musky Denny's diner lol. Halfway through our meal they turned the lights off for dinner service (I get it, to set the mood) but it made the table so dark we had to ask them to turn them back on so we could see the food on our plates. It wasn't that the entire restaurant was dim, it's certain tables (and sadly ours was definitely one of them) We had a party of 6, and one person got their meal well before the rest of the table. We of course insisted she begin eating, which she did, and our remaining meals came out as soon as she was done with hers. The waiter removed her plate as he set down everyone else's lol. The food was good, but, again with how uncomfortable the environment was, it was hard to enjoy. The restaurant was also fairly empty throughout our meal. We got there before 5 so that awkward "linner" time frame. Even so, we had to flag down our waiter for another round of drinks, water, etc. The Shorebird absolutely has stunning views, and that's what they're known for. Their food is solid, mist dishes fairly justifies the high price point. This visit was just not their best. Overall service and ambiance, fell extremely flat. I set the bar high for my guests, as they traveled in from out of town and I raved about my experience from a few months back. Granted, I was sat at the patio, overlooking the beautiful view, and the service was impeccable. With all the stellar dining options in Newport, unless you find yourself at a table on the balcony, I don't think Shorebird is the obvious choice. You'll end up spending the money regardless so you may as well look for a spot that is guaranteed to meet the expectations of the price point without having to be dependent on a view.

The star of the show, though, was definitely the Fish and Chips. The fish was fresh, juicy, and perfectly cooked with a crispy golden coating. The fries were also amazing, golden, crispy, and well seasoned. This was easily one of the best fish and chips dishes I've had in a while.

    1. i like the name. FOB. TBH i was so confused by the actual cuisine tho, im expecting asian fusion…read morenot mex/midEastern fusion. Tacos or Kebab or blend them?? with seafood?? 2. Prices are very reasonable for 2026. Pita wrap at $12.50? sold. Plate at $17 seems to be where theyre at these days 3. Parking - shared, free, not ever really full lot. 4. Service - its like a fish grill, order up front, sit at any table, self refill, but they drop off the food? apparently i missed the sauce bar! guess i gotta return trip. Plenty of variety of seating, 4table, bar, high tops, 2 tables, outside mostly covered "patio". i like itttt. its clean. it looks spacious and nice. Music isnt too loud and good choice kinda upbeat but isnt just noise. Oh the tables! theyre fake wood board tables but i like the look of wood. 5. Taste - Ground sirloin kebab. The pita wrap while wrapped is more like a pita taco. A respectable sized one. Salad, pickles tomatos, 1 chonky kebab. Cup of what is this whipped garlic sauce?. OK im actually surprised how together it tasted. Good flavor, if u can get the veg pita and meat in a bite. The kebab tends to slip upward from the veg base. And i like the garnish drop except that they garnish dropped to the wrapper end....im def not eating the wrapper so that garnish just falls off wasted. yelp search led me here when i searched for "saffron rice". fail. but turned out a nice lunch so....uh failed successfully?

    We got the chef's table calamari, grilled artichoke, and two oyster shooters to start our day…read more never had a calamari like this, the toasted sourdough bread was the perfect flavor and dipping sauce. seated at the bar, since it was just my boyfriend and I but if you want to catch sun or sunset facing beach. If you want to catch beach view come with party of 3 or more. They wouldn't sit my boyfriend and I facing the boardwalk. So we just sat at the bar The vibe is chill here, love Newport !

    I assume that the 4 stars is based on location. The food was average, the space is small and…read morecrowded which lends a chaotic feel, service was adequate but nothing worth going back for. We ordered two dishes, shrimp tacos and fisherman's deluxe platter. The shrimp tacos had 3 very small shrimp each with a lot of cabbage to make them appear bigger. It did not feel like it was worth the price tag of $21 (added avocado). We paid $2 to add avocado, seemed like a value until the food came out and it was one slice of avocado on each taco. The fisherman's platter had a small protein portion. We ordered the cod and oysters raw/grilled instead of fried as they come on the menu. Overall, it was a convenient stop and better than bar food, however, we would not return based on the first experience. Street parking or paid parking lot, ADA accessible although the hallway to the restroom is a bit tight for a wheel chair and seating space is compact.

    Solid spot with incredible quality protein. They have a small area with dedicated parking and I…read morecame at opening so there were no issues there. I see a lot of reviews complaining about them not being open, I recommend following them on Instagram as they post their hours and offerings on there. I wish they included pricing on their posts to allow us to budget better before being on site. They are very much on the pricier side but for the most part that is justifiable with what you get. I picked up some spot prawns at $45/lb, 4 pieces ran me about $25 but those were so fresh I would get them again. I also picked up scallops. I did expect them to be fresh but they were completely frozen so I am not sure when they harvested them and the scallops themselves were a tad on the smaller side, at about $33 for a 17oz bag that seemed a bit steep. Most of their fish range from $32-35 per pound and their Mexican white shrimp were $25/lb. I do very much plan to come back but this would not be a frequent stop for me

    Folks always talk about how there are certain types of restaurants they avoid. Mostly it's because…read more they don't like the taste of the cuisine. Or maybe they like the cuisine, but for health reasons they've been told to avoid eating it. I know for me I just haven't come around to a lot of Asian cuisines that are focused on high vegetable and low protein content. But to this day Toby and I have never shared a seafood boil together. She has a germaphobe reaction to eating food with her hands and there's no easy way to knife-and-fork stuff like shrimp, crawfish, crab, or lobster. She's offered to get something else like fish n' chips or a plain steak or something, while I get myself a boil. However, one of the joys of boils is digging into a mound of Cajun-flavored seafood together as a group effort. A wondrous temple to the art like Roux Seafood Kitchen would be wasted on her. I couldn't get enough of their shrimp and crawfish. They were both plump, flavorful, and disassembled easy in my hands. At a lb. each, I was more than stuffed at meal's end. I think the only thing that could've made it better is if I had ordered a lobster tail in there. That would've been my ideal order. The service was great here for my party. The drinks were refilled quickly, the food was brought out in an efficient manner, and even the order taking was controlled in what kind of have been haphazard conditions. I liked the ambiance too. The dining room was a spacious and accommodating. The music was low. And the crowds were busy but not super full, which is where I like it. Nobody was on top of each other at neighboring tables and the noise level wasn't drowning. All in all, I think this is the perfect example of a seafood boil joint. The only thing that could've made it better is if my oldest eating buddy (and ex) could've miraculously gotten over her condition and joined me. That's the dream.

    This festive News Orieans-inspired resto with Asian flair in Huntington Beach did not disappoint!…read moreIt's a few miles away from the beach, but it is on busy Beach Blvd! We just ordered two staples: Jambalaya & Shrimp Etoufee. Entrees came out in about 20 minutes hot, fresh & amply sized. They're reasonably priced, too! I'm glad we didn't order any apps b/c the entrees were more than enough food. Thought about getting the beignets, but I could not find any more room to fit them in! I had a glass of KJ Chardonnay to accompany the meal and it was pleasant. Service was very friendly and helpful from both servers working today. 5% discount if you use cash! Plenty of parking in the lot. Peace.

    Came here for lunch on a Friday around 1:30pm. I had never been to this plaza by the airport before…read moreand was a little worried about parking based on other reviews, but there were plenty of open spots when I arrived. The storefront is almost hidden on the right side of the food hall and can be easy to miss if you're not looking for it. There was no wait, and I was able to order right away. They gave me a beeper, and I was able to find a nearby table without any trouble. I ordered the Fish N Chips, which was a generous portion. It came with two large pieces of fish that were nicely fried. The batter wasn't too thick, and the fish itself was tender rather than overly flaky or hard. The texture and overall quality were good, but it was a bit lacking in flavor, even with malt vinegar and tartar sauce. The steak fries were crispy and not overly salty, which I enjoyed. Overall, the meal was average. With limited fish and chip options nearby, it's still a decent choice if you're in the area and craving it.

    Hits the spot!!!…read more This was one of my Mother's last meals before she passed away and I'm so happy that she enjoyed this lovely place. I even went back months later for myself. We don't really have fish fry spots in Irvine besides California fish grill or OC fish grill(they pissed me off the first last visit so that's a different story.) Anyway, I love to support mom and pop over corporate eats any day. The service is good and the menu is straight forward. Great portions and super fresh eats. I honestly don't have any complaints. I'm not an English fried fish connoisseur so I can't compare but this meal hits and its solid! I'll definitely be back and please support your local small business:)
