Fish and Chips
Jason M.

This place is kind of a local legend and I can confirm that it's for very good reason. I headed here for a late Saturday lunch with some friends. Both pieces of the fish I ordered were massive. Be aware of the portion sizes! On one hand, I thought 1 would probably be sufficient for me and although it would've filled me up, this fish was too good to stop there. On the other hand, my friend with a much hardier appetite got the 3 piece and he was more than stuffed. Plan accordingly. This is the perfect Fish and Chips. The fish comes out, tender, and crispy. The coating is cooked perfectly, isn't too thin or too thick, and shatters with each bite so that you're not getting large bites of batter with no fish. I really, really recommend dining in because this isn't the kind of batter that can hold up to traveling before it's eaten. Like any fish and chips spot, the salt, pepper, vinegar, and lemon levels are all left at the discretion of the customer; yet another reason to dine-in where all are readily available at the table!

Fry oyster
CAScuba Y.

First time here, amazing little seafood joint. Everything priced reasonable and you get quality seafood. May not be the ultimate best but for the price, it's super value and tasty. The oyster rockafella is about 70% as good as Antoine's in New Orlean. Fish & chip is about 80% of the best in London. Fry oyster was interesting, I thought it's going to be like those in Japanese restaurants but it's turns out to be the big oyster fry with fish and chip batter. It's good. I am going to be a regular now, don't have to drive all the way to Sam's in 1/2 moon bay ....

The City Fish is a good spot, and their fried fish n' chips is good enough where it's keeping the family from ordering anything else to test and try out :) We will deviate from our favorite reliable menu item 'tho! The clam chowder is good, and if you order the 32 oz large size it can easily feed 3 to 4 people as an appetizer cup that's near bowl sized. The service is fast and friendly Parking is easy.

Chilean sea bass with French fries and basil tomato
Sho R.

I stopped by for lunch early on a Saturday. Clam chowder soup was my favorite item here. It was thick and viscous, and flavorful. Mahi mahi was my favorite fish here. Chilean sea bass was the special, so I went for that as well. It was buttery. The spices used in grilling are not flavorful. And I could not make either fish flavorful with the sauces provided. Mashed potato was my favorite side. Rice, French fries and basil tomato were the other sides.

Inside

Absolutely incredible fish and chips, so glad to have found this hidden gem. Their fish is delicious, does not smell fishy, it's crispy, fresh, good batter, and they give you both the tartar sauce and the malt vinegar with it. The interior is good, not a pretentious spot, just a good delicious spot for fish and chips; and a pretty darn good clam chowder too. My husband ordered it to go for us , they were super friendly while taking the orders. Love this spot, delicious and fresh fish

We dropped by during happy hour and tried their oysters, fish taco, chicken wings and fries, and fried fish. The oysters were 10/10, juicy, fresh, and plump meat. They were 1.75$ each. The fish taco was ginormous with grilled fish and two tortillas. The fried fish was nicely battered and tender. The chicken wings were solid -- nothing to write home about, just basic but a solid option if you're not into fish (or want fries, which is why we got them). The service is great, friendly staff!

2 Piece Fish Tacos
Shirley N.

On a visit down to visit the in-laws in the South Bay, SIL suggested this place for a late lunch Saturday arriving around 2:35pm. Located in Stanley Square which consisted of several storefronts with a parking lot in the back. Across the street from the US Post Office. The four of us had a nice booth by the front entrance. Ordered off a two page laminated menu. The four of us each ordered seafood - * hubby had the three piece fish and chips. Huge fillets fried perfectly. And hot. * I had a cup of clam chowder and fish tacos. The soup was creamy but lacked clams. The soft tacos were just enough. * SIL had four deep fried oysters and prawns. One of her go to orders. * BIL had a green salad and rainbow trout. Everything looked fresh. * hubby & I ordered beer and BIL had hot tea. Service was friendly. It's a family owned business. Conveniently located near Hwy 280 entrance.

Clam chowder

This is a great spot! The food was delicious. We stopped here on our way to the mountain winery for a concert and I would recommend checking this place out if you are nearby. There was plenty of seating and the service was quick!

2 piece Fish and Chips
Monica W.

We don't eat a lot of deep fried fish and chips, but when we do (like tonight) The City Fish is our favorite. The location is small, but clean, the service is efficient; and the portions are BIG, moist and delicious.

2 gigantic pieces of fried fish and coleslaw
Helen L.

Very nice servers, friendly and helpful. Generous portion. Wanted fish and chips, replaced chips with coleslaw (a bit too sweet). Fish was super fresh and not too greasy. Salmon was cooked to perfection. Shrimp Device with lots of fried tortillas. The clam and mussels portion appeared more than 2 dozens. Broth was so good with lemon, butter, and garlic. Plenty of parking front and back. Neighborhood spot. Choco flan was a bit thick.

Combo shrimp and & Crab
Miguel L.

Yesterday I got the Combo Shrimp and Crab salad and some clam chowder and a Crab sandwich with some fries. That was a FEAST and enjoyed every single bite. The location is small/medium size with outdoor tables available. Easy to find off a busy Hwy 85 in Cupertino California. I decided to go order so I could come home and fill up my belly and mouth with some great seafood. There were two males and a female working there handling all of us hungry customers. They are bilingual spanish speaking individuals. I have also been to the Morgan Hill location. If you are looking for the authentic, fisherman wharf type of seafood. Give this place a try and guaranteed you will enjoy it.

Clam Chowder

Back at City Fish again and they didn't disappoint! Everything was delicious, the seafood was fresh, and we had another really enjoyable meal. Great food, good service, and always a place I'm happy to come back to!

Oysters Rockefeller
Carlos C.

You'll find parking near the rear of the restaurant. They have shared parking with neighboring business. When you walk in it's a small restaurant but they are producing some delicious food. I started with the crab cakes they tasted fresh and made to order. Then Moved on to the fish . They were large, filling, and had the normal toppings. The oysters Rockefeller wow so cheesy and delicious . I also got the fried platter with the shrimps scallops, fish and some French fries . All good battered perfectly amd fried to perfection. Wow all around good I even got a pasta to afterwards The service was attentive and the food came out in decent time. 2 young men were servicing the tables when I dinner in and they provided great service not only to me but to everyone in the establishment. Alot of great options I didn't get to try, I will surely return

Ask the Community - The City Fish

Fo you offer gluten-free fish and chips?

Does the clam chowder have bacon or any other meat in it?

No bacon, no pieces of obviously non-clam meat. Don't know if there was chicken broth but it didn't taste like it, and clam broth would be more normal.

How far out do you deliver to? I'm in Mountain View.

Don't believe they deliver, best bet is to use a food delivery app

Does the batter have dairy (cows milk) in it? How about the fries , are they battered also and with dairy? (Dairy allergy here)... thanks!

I don't know but the batter is very light - like a tempura batter. It's really good. Calling… 

Is it cod or something else for the fish and chip?

It is Cod and it is a big piece. Enjoy!

We really enjoy going to the Cupertino location as we prefer the vibe and delightful ambiance. We were greeted kindly by the hostess and seated to our liking. Our server Frederico (sp?) was superb! He was knowledgeable about the menu items, friendly and approachable and he was very attentive. We started off with a drink and steamed edamame. My husband had a watermelon mule and I had my usual Shark fin. Both really good! If you like a cocktail with a little bit of sweetness to it, Either one is great. I believe the watermelon mule is a summer seasonal drink. The edamame may be a simple appetizer, however it is perfectly steamed and a great addition to a cocktail. I ordered the house salad which I really enjoy. It not your ordinary house salad. It has shiitake mushrooms, tomatoes, edamame, sprouts, miso dressing over greens. So god and well placed together. I also ordered the grilled salmon chowder and what an amazing mixture of flavors. So delicious! My husband ordered the Verlasso Salmon with Thai Brussells sprouts and creamy mashed potatoes. He really enjoyed the combination of flavors. We followed our meal with their signature coffee and we split a Crispy Dulce de Leche (banana cheesecake) spring roll with a scoop of vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce. Oh my goodness....so amazingly delicious! Overall a great experience especially being treated well by the server, the food runner, and the table busser person. A great part of the evening was the General Manager of Pacific Catch, Kenny came over and asked how our meal was and talked to us about it. Such great customer service!

Later on this unprofessional amateur gave me a dissaproving look. Since when did the service become a dumpster fire?? Did he buy this place? Definitely taking ownership in a twisted manner. Remember Customers are always right in almost any circumstances. Your job is to make me happy. Food was still ok. There was no service yet they engerly expect you to tip them 18% for non existent service. What a lazy place.

Fish's Wild has something for everyone except for coke lovers…read more 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. Order at the kiosk and your order will be delivered to your table. Once you're done, they'll bus your table. F O O D * 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. S E R V I C E Friendly and prompt. A M B I A N C E 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.

Puns aside, their noodles always hit for me. I admit, I've yet to try their bag o' crab (clearly their specialty) -- or any seafood boil bags for that matter, but it smells delicious & there always seems to be a good amount of diners enjoying themselves. They provide disposable bibs & gloves to help keep your hands & clothes clean. Staff is always friendly -- & even when they seem busy! There is also an order kiosk you can utilize for takeout in case the staff are attending to other tasks/guests. I always seem to come in the last hour or so, when I am getting off work and feel like I don't want to cook dinner -- so I usually order to-go. When I get the chance to come by earlier in the day, I will definitely be ordering one of the combos~ Atomic sauce is their most popular, and contains all four of the other sauces combined.

They're good, but not the best I've had. With my combo 1, I got head-on shrimp and clams with the atomic sauce and mild spice. I heard the atomic was a combination aka Whole She-bang etc. which is what I normally get from seafood boil places. It was ok, nothing too special, very chunky sauce with lots of garlic. The mild spice, however, was really more like a medium spice as it only took a couple of shrimp to really feel it. For my head-on shrimp, most of the shrimp heads were already like detached from the body which defeats the entire purpose of it. They were also on the small side which I know it's by the pound but it's noticeable. It was very underwhelming in terms of that. The clams were good, not much to say about those other than they were absolutely drenched in the chunky sauce. Overall, this place is ok. Nothing really stood out to me compared to other seafood boil places.

This used to be our childhood go to place after studying for finals or a at Cupertino Library or a quick meal with your family & friends. Hanlin was the old spot and they were amazing. The price was right, the food was tasty, and the portions were great. However, when these guys took over, everything went down the drain. First of all, the service is nonexistent now, especially if you're picking up to-go orders. They expect you to look for your own orders. If you can't find your order, they'll give you a cold look like its your fault they put all the takeout orders on one shelf and they're all clumped together (Or maybe the waitresses don't get tips from take out orders?) The food is horrible now. We usually order the pork cutlet bento, when Hanlin was operating. The portions were just right and the meal was very tasty. After JP took over, the portions are small and they increased the price too. What's even worse is that the pork cutlets are now DUMPED in oil. disgusting! I've given them several chances and this last one really pushed the line. I HIGHLY recommend you think twice before dining here. You can tell they have ALOT less customers than before, that tells you something.
