    The daily specials are a great value
    Cuong N.

    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!

    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. 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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Back with a friend for a second meal at Simply Fish. Had the fish and chips which is the Monday special. Enjoyed it very much!

    We drive from Anaheim to Costa Mesa because my husband LOVES the fish 'n chips at Simply Fish. He considers himself a fish 'n chips expert, so that's a high recommendation. I have tried many other entrees (I love their scallops, as they are always cooked perfectly) and found them all to be delicious. Don't miss a side of their Brussel sprouts-- they are amazing!

    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.

    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 .

    Ambience was okay. All the staff were super friendly, helpful, and patient. Lobster was overcooked. Overall, everything severely lacked seasoning. Menu was very dirty inside. Kona beer draft was tasty, ice cold, and refreshing.

For everyone who had to do multiple laps around the plaza's parking lot to find this place, you're not alone.

Upon arriving, the restaurant was very gracious to bestow upon us a pair of complimentary lemon and thyme dinner rolls. They were warm, fluffy, and everything a carb should be. Honestly wish we had more of them, to be honest! The menu was short, which was helpful in its own way.

My friend enjoyed the salmon dish, but it looked pretty standard to me. They also brought out a complimentary Epresso Creme Brulee for my birthday, which was both figuratively and literally sweet. Very decadent and kinda had a nice tiramisu taste to it -- order this! The service was excellent and very attentive. Was very hydrated during this meal because my water cup was never empty! I would come back to try the other dishes with a larger group so I can pick at everyone else's plates, hehehe.

Inside is spacious. Loved the Aqua colored glass chandelier. They have a great cocktail menu! I wish I had time to enjoy a drink because they looked good when I saw a waiter delivering drinks to other tables. Our server, Abbie, was gracious and friendly. She was attentive to us and to all her other tables. Never skipped a beat on what part of the meal her customers were at (ordering, mid-meal, refills, dessert, paying, etc.) We ordered: A bowl of clam chowder - creamy and flavorful. Good amount of clams. A side salad - my hubby and I couldn't agree on dressing so Abbie brought both for us on the side. 3-piece fish and chips - crispy fish batter, not too thick. It's mahi-mahi so it's meatier than the typical cod. Fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Doused all of this goodness with their malt vinegar. We recommended this place to the other water polo families. Hopefully they stopped by too. I will definitely return! Thank you.

We got the lobster mac & cheese, fish & chips, and 4oz lobster roll. The Mac & Cheese was good, but I didn't like the choice of the noodle. The pasta was a bit undercooked, but the lobster was good. The batter for the fish and chips is so good, but the fish was a bit dry. I would def come back for the lobster roll. Lobster was fresh and the brioche bun was buttery! The lobster roll was def the high light! The ambiance was nice! Def a cute date spot for couple to go on a night out. Service was a bit slow for how empty the restaurant was.

The cocktail selection is excellent, and the wine list offers plenty of great choices. The salads were exceptionally fresh, and the sea bass was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. There is plenty of parking available in the lot, which is always a plus. Since the restaurant is located in an office complex, it tends to get busy on weeknights after work. A weekend visit may provide a more relaxed experience. Overall, it is definitely worth checking out for the food, drinks, service, and unique ambiance.

    I took my sister to Mastro's to celebrate her 18th birthday. The reservation was made through the…read moreOpenTable app about a week beforehand. Parking is valet. We arrived a bit early for reservation, so we waited at a high top in the bar area (she wasn't old enough to actually sit at the bar). I enjoyed a Monkey Business cocktail while I waited - whisky with banana puree and pineapple juice. When our table was ready, a hostess came to escort us to the main dining room. The atmosphere felt very refined and classy. I really liked the dark, brooding ambiance. Our server was Josh, who took incredible care of us the entire night. He was very professional and knew the menu extremely well. A very cool detail is that the menus were customized with a birthday greeting for my sister! Oddly enough, the bread basket was not complimentary, but included a delicious variety of breads such as pretzel rolls and parmesan crisps. My sister's favorite was the parmesan crisp while mine was the onion bread. For our starter, we shared the jumbo lump crab cakes, served with a creamy and tangy remoulade. They were absolutely scrumptious. The crab tasted fresh, and the patties were hearty. At this point, I asked Josh if the bar could make me a pornstar martini. I quickly relayed the ingredients to him, vanilla vodka, passionfruit liqueur, lime, simple, and a side of prosecco, and he went to check if the bar could accommodate my request. As it turns out, they could. According to Josh, they knew exactly what it was from the name and didn't need any further details. Not only was the cocktail delicious, Josh even provided me with the shaker filled with additional cocktail inside. What amazing customer service! For my entree, at Josh's recommendation, I had the dry aged ribeye. We also got one of the specials, the Alaskan king crab and black truffle gnocchi, per his recommendation. This meal was incredible. That ribeye was magnificent. The crust was perfect, and the inside was so incredibly juicy and tender. The gnocchi was divine. The flavors were so indulgent - creamy, rich, and laden with chunks of luxurious Alaskan king crab. My mouth is watering as I think back on this dish. This was one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. For dessert, we had a slice of rich chocolate cake on the house, accompanied by raspberries, a chocolate and caramel drizzle, and a silver platter of whipped cream. We had an amazing experience at Mastro's. A special thanks to Josh taking such good care of us the entire night. I am already anticipating my next visit.
