Had the fish N chips and lump crab cake. Never grew up with seafood. Tried places throughout the years. This place is great quality. Im not a bot. I highly recommend this place and will be coming back. Staff is amazing! read more

It's true, quality in seafood begins with standards and the integrity of the source. My first question was: "Are the crab cakes coming out of the kitchen like this?; promo photo." I ordered One. It was all I needed to feel, all and previous restaurants (serving crab cakes) should conduct their reorientations in this kitchen. Next, is the Fish 'n Chips! The slaw; perfectly portioned, crisp and fresh. A coincidence that seasoning of their fries is my favorite. I was able to select Two pcs of Fish besides Two Shrimp. Both were fresh, crispy and paired their generous pour of tartar and cocktail sauce. I offer my rare 5 Stars because it is an ever present share of my mind that stellar service (from "KC"/Female/Glasses/big-bright smile) ensures repeat customers turn patrons! I am excited to earn my patronage badge here at Simply Fish. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon experience KC and crew! read more

Simply Fish Seafood - September 2026 new menu - Fish & Chips Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

We've been eating at Simply Fish since the first week they opened and for several years now. Food is always delicious. They know how to do their fish and doing it well. Our family came for dinner tonight. The place was jam packed and the wait was 1 hour and 40 minutes although we were quoted 40 minutes. We generally make reservations, but unfortunately, when we made reservation for brunch at another restaurant earlier in the day, we were told reservation not accepted. So we automatically presume reservations are not accepted at popular/busy restaurants. Our mistake. When we were finally seated and orders taken, food was brought out quickly. The first dish, a large seafood platter for the table, was from the house. Compliments from Derek, the owner. It was FANTASTIC! It came with lobster, large shrimp, squid, scallops, several types of fish, asparagus, bell peppers, and special rice. Everything was super delicious. My sister just ate somewhere with her friends and stopped by to join us. She ordered a Maryland crab cake and she said it was very good. We had several warm seafood salads, two salmon bowls, a halibut bowl, fish & chips, etc. Everyone was happy with their order. Service was great and attentive. Derek is very involved with his business. Every time we're there, we always see him around, either visiting with diners or checking on customers or his own staff. Hard working owner. The business is well-managed and it is obviously very successful. Music was good. Thank you so much for everything Derek. We'll see you again soon. read more

My fiance and I love this place, especially for happy hour. We appreciate the freshness of the seafood, the flavors, portion size and price point. We've been here several times and the service has always been great, so the consistency is a huge plus for us. Also, they have live music on certain days, which is really cool, but it does get busy so make reservations early. During our last visit, the owner or manager brought us a sample of their spicy tuna on crispy rice and it was amazing! We normally order tacos, lobster roll, ahi poke and rockin shrimp, but we'll definitely add this to our order on our next visit. Our favorites are: spicy tuna on crispy rice, ahi poke, bang bang shrimp and lobster roll. If you're in the area and looking for a tasty seafood spot, check this place out. read more

I was excited to try this place for the first time, but unfortunately the food was far too salty. I hoped the salad would balance it out, but I found a produce sticker still attached to a tomato and mixed into my salad. That is a basic food-preparation issue and made me question the attention to cleanliness and quality control. I really hope the management team sees this and addresses it, because this was not a good first impression. Based on my experience, I would not recommend it. read more

Oh my gosh. I think this was the highlight of my trip. I got shrimp skewer, 4 oz lobster tail, rice and coleslaw. This plate was only $29. That's beyond a steal. The service was on point as well.

First visit here & won't be the last! Small restaurant with a great vibe! Staff is excellent & happy! Food is TREMENDOUS! So Good and fresh!!! The Vibe was enhanced by a GREAT Jazz Trío last night! They are very good. All 3 complement them selves and know how to play for the venue size and audience! I had the Chilean Sea Bass and the wife had the Scalops. Great dinning experience! The server Alex was also Great & knowlegdable about the menu! read more

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. 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. 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! read more

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. 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. read more

This place is awesome! The Maine lobster fish and chips is fantastic. The bater was crispy, buttery, zesty, and fluffy. We also had oysters which I found a bit too much of the salt water brine flavor, but my buddy thought they were great so I'll keep it a high rating. Lastly, I had the poke tuna salad. It was huge! I ate most of the bowl, took the rest home for my wife and she enjoyed it as well. The service was friendly and we even got to meet the owner. We complimented him on the decor and overall casual feel off the restaurant. I'll return with my family next time. read more

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. read more

Simply Fish Seafood - Shrimp Taquitos - Fish & Chips Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

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. read more

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! read more

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!

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. read more

We have always wanted to try this restaurant out and finally did. We have been to a few restaurants in the area, but this time we chose to dine here. We were not disappointed. We both had the clam chowder and the fish and chips. They were both excellent! The service was also good too. Vanessa and Brandon were both attentive and very nice. We had some good conversations with them both. The atmosphere is also very nice in this restaurant. The decor was inviting and the music was good too. Their menu is pretty extensive and the prices are fair. If you are in the area, give this restaurant a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

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. read more

Simply Fish Seafood - Not this small but definately 70 dollar large/ - Fish & Chips Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

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 . read more

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. read more

I can't believe I've lived in Costa Mesa for almost a year now and have only tried this place today. The menu is vast and there is a choice for everyone. We ordered the Sunday special which had lobster and steak on rice. My god, what a deal. Service was amazing and we never had to wait too long to have someone come ask us if we needed anything. We made same day reservations for 4 pm on a Sunday so it was not too crowded. The place is very clean and the vibe felt like a local gem seafood diner. Parking is plentiful. We will definitely be back. read more

Came here for lunch. The staff is friendly and helpful with answering questions. The place has a casual vibe and the tables are pristine. We started with margaritas, got oysters for appetizers, and surf and turf for entrees. Margaritas- They make them strong which is always appreciated. The regular one is limey and refreshing and the mango marg is sweet and fruity. Oysters- Fresh and meaty! Came with different condiments and sauces so it was fun to mix and match with each sample. Surf and Turf- We got the baseball cut steak which was cooked to preference. The meat is nice and juicy and perfectly seared. The lobster is fresh and tasty. I love the seasoning on it which pairs well with the sauces offered. Rice pilaf is buttery and fluffy and the mixed veggies provided a lovely balance to the meal. Great meal overall! read more

Great service, super nice people, I would come back just on that alone. They have a pretty big menu and I'm sure there are other things to eat, but I was specifically looking for a great fish and chips and apparently they are highly rated. Apparently... these are the worst fish and chips I've ever had! I'm from the northwest where when you order fish and chips, there's a lot of fish in it, it's not greasy, and there's a little flavor in there. These fish and chips were super greasy, tasted like salt and I had to put tons of lemon on it just to make it edible and didn't even finish. I feel bloated from all the salt and it's unfortunate. Next time I'll stick to a lobster tail read more

My fish and chips was excellent, even the coleslaw was delish! My companions "poke tuna bowl" was also fresh and expertly dressed and delicious. The service was very friendly and attentive.

I simply wanted to try this place. It had the "look" and that was the hook having driven by a time or two. A swirl of Whale Gray and Ocean Blue on the floor works it's way onto and around the booths. The decor had the feel of an upscale Upholstery Shop in TJ. Think The Nautilus gets a Tuck 'n Roll. Look around and you might decide if Jonah ended up inside this Whale's stomach he might not have complained. Pull the fish handle front door open and the Hostee will greet you and seat you. You will be handed a stack of material to peruse. A book as long as the rough draft of Moby Dick along with a hand full of separate laminated offerings of Craft Beer here, Basic Wine, which is fine, Desserts till it hurts, Specials and a Photo Album like a Graduation Annual of Simply's Greatest Hits. The Staff: Patient and helpful as an Urgent Care facility and just as clean. Jesus went over the entire menu fish by fish. Thank you, Jesus. Comfy booths, more than reasonable prices, who could ask for anything more? Me. As soon as digest the menu options and order the food, things start to fly (swim) out of the kitchen. There is no pacing, rhyme or reason to food service. You order it, you're gonna get it, and eat it right now. It's the "fast" part of Fast Casual. Everything arrives at once. So, if you have to catch a plane or a concert you're in great shape. The Food: The fish is wild caught and fresh. Best to go early, I think. The early fish catches the smelt and everything smelt good. No smoke billowing out of the kitchen, no grease splattering all over the walls, no paint peeling off the ceiling from the heat of the Grill. But, it all comes out at the same time. You came here to eat and so Simply delivers. (They also do deliver if you are compelled to dine on the Sofa in your Sweats). My dining adventure began with the House Salad which was served with an insipid Cilantro Avocado Dressing in a cup on the side. It was a small plate of simple greens waiting to be dressed. It's still waiting. The common denominator between Cilantro, Avocado and this Dressing is that all three are green. While nibbling at the Salad, the Calamari Fritti appeared. Hard to beat a good Calamari Frite. My Rings and Tentacles fought back. They were a bit chewy. Good if you're a Dachshund. Calamari needs to be par boiled for 60 seconds then dunked in an ice bath before breading and frying, but what do I know? This Calamari needed a Spa Treatment. The Cup of Salsa masquerading as Marinara was nice and helped perk up the Salad too. The bottom line was that this was just a Squid Game and not Calamari Fritti to make Massimo Bottura smile. The Cajun Blackened Halibut nestled between the Salad and Calamari and had the right idea. A large square of Hali Filet filled the plate. It had a slight bite of pleasant heat. Fork in, a piece pulled away from the corpus. It was sadly a click dry. If the Line Cook has to ask himself "Hmmm...I wonder if the fish is done?" It's already overcooked. A minute less in heat would have blessed this dish. The Brown Rice was, well, just Brown Rice. The Cole Slaw was just plain blah. The Mahi Mahi was exhausted from swimming from Hawaii. It too was flirting with being dry. This came with Black Beans in a supporting role. More juice than Bean it had me wishing I brought my Travel Pack of Tapatio and Cholula. In all fairness most of both fishes came home with me. At room temp the next morning they were serviceable as a platform for two Farm Fresh Eggs just set. I support small business. I support this business. It could have been better and hopefully management takes this review with a grain of Salt or at least sprinkles some on the food and fishes the fish out of the oven or off the grill before the thrill is gone. Cook it quicker and send it to the table slower. Simply Fish...keep it simple. Fish on. read more

So they have OC WEEKLY which sounds great. However I got the bundle with shrimp taquitos, fish and chips, and the sad ass salad. For $38, mind you the shrimp taquitos are $13 for 5 and fish and chips is $16 thats $29 supposed to have an option of clam chowder or salad. Guess what theyre out of clam chowder you can settle for lobster bisque or sad ass salad. When I brought it to their attention that this wasn't really a deal becuz instead of 5 taquitos I got 3. I was willingly to over pay on the taquitos they came back we can offer you dessert. No I didnt eat the salad and I dont want dessert. But my wonderful waiter was able to accommodate me.

I've been meaning to try this place based on yelp suggestions. I finally got a craving and packed my 4 yr old in the car to try some seafood. He's a big fan of shrimp and I saw they had a kids menu. The place itself is tucked in a strip mall across from the Vons shopping center. The place is small but had a nice atmosphere. They've got fish on the walls so my son got excited pointing out the kinds of fish he knew. Linda was our server and she was very warm and friendly. My son had the shrimp skewers with French fries and black beans. He loved it. He also had a bite of chocolate cake for making good choices. He was a major fan of the chocolate cake. I tried the poke and it was delicious. I also opted for the asparagus and grilled veggies as my sides. They had a full menu of beer and wine options from what I saw and the food on the menu is accompanied by a picture so you could see what you're getting. It was a great lunch and we'll be back! read more

Just found this gem and safe to say I LOVE IT! Gus, our server is amazing! Knowledgable about the menu and fast with bringing out the food! It's a family owned restaurant.

We love the casual atmosphere, stellar service, the FOOD and the value! First off, Simply Fish is in a strip mall so there's a ton of parking available. You can make a Yelp reservation or walk in. There's indoor and outdoor seating. I'm pretty sure the servers actually like each other because they're always helping each other (I appreciate that!) with drinks, running food, placing orders and bussing tables. Now, this place is 5 stars because the service from Linda and Jesus were awesome. We absolutely love the award winning fish and chips ($15) with coleslaw. Your plate comes with 3 huge fish pieces, fried to a perfectly golden brown and CRISPY! A generous serving of French fries and yummy, creamy coleslaw. Now the star of the menu is the deluxe seafood platter ($35). It says it serves 4, but I say it realistically serves 3. Nothing was fried, but instead sautéed in an incredible sauce! You get a huge bed of rice with bell peppers, broccoli, sautéed onions and a generous portion of fish, calamari, baby octopus, bay scallops, shrimp with the heads still on... and we added on the skirt steak ($15) with chimichurri sauce. BEST. DEAL. EVER! Simply Fish is simply amazing! Such a great value! Be sure to check them out. They have daily specials, accept major credit cards and you can pay by QR code. read more
