I'm not talking about booger sugar...
Grilled fish and steamed veggies for the health nuts...you can even choose no seasoning for punishment.
Thai curry for the spice heads.
And for the heffers? Hearty Hawaiian lunch plates.
If you're a coke feen...sorry, only pepsi products here.
Fish's Wild is a small local Bay Area chain with three locations in Silicon Valley. While usually in the Cupertino area weekly, I've never heard of it until now. With little to no social media presence, I found this spot on Yelp while looking for dog-friendly restos.

* Mahi Mahi Taco ($5.49)
I'm not a cooked fish kinda person but wanted to sample one of their fish dishes. A single corn tortilla is layered with tender, flaky mahi mahi and topped shredded cabbage, carrot, tomato, mango, and house cream adding a fresh, creamy sweetness with a tropical twist.
* Loco Moco w/ burger patty, fried eggs, brown gravy, mac salad, rice ($16.39): https://tinyurl.com/ms4rfs8d
Delicious and a great value, this came with perfectly cooked rice topped with two juicy, seared patties and oozy fried eggs. The rich, savory gravy brought everything together, while the cool, creamy, slightly tangy mac salad balanced out the hearty dish.
* Hawaiian Grilled Short Ribs w/ mac salad, brown rice ($21.99): https://tinyurl.com/2j5wa4zp
Surprisingly solid and good quality for the price. You get three flank-style short ribs that aren't thin, nor overly fatty. They're tender, rich, and flavorful with a nice smoky char from the grill. The accompanying brown rice had a nutty flavor and satisfying chew... which I actually preferred over white rice.

Friendly and prompt.

Casual, no frills with 8-10 tables inside and 4 tables outside.
Overall, Fish's Wild is serving up delicious, wallet-friendly eats. With more people looking for value-driven meals these days, I'm surprised they're not busy. If you're looking for comforting Hawaiian food several notches above the usual L&L, Ono, or Haiwaiin Drive Inn, (or a healthy omega-3 rich meal), give this small local business a try.
