This is my second time coming and the food is delicious! I got the fish sandwich (Atlantic cod) with the Tom Yum sidewinder fries. First off, the fish is delicious, the sauces (chimichurri and ranch) are to die for and the service is great. The owner always comes out and checks on guests to see how they liked the food. This food is great! Will be back again and again. read more

Good food, good ambiance & excellent service. I will definitely come back. Come & try this place it's really worth the trip. read more

Absolutely amazing! First visit I've tried their fish burger, the fish was fresh and crispy along side the vegetables that were in it as well as the potato chips! They provide three different sauces (tartar, ranch and their green sauce) so there's plenty of flavors to explore!. The second visit I've tried their shrimp burger and I've annihilated the whole plate, the panko for the shrimp patty was amazing and the vegetables in this burger was great, especially the shredded cabbage quality reminded that of Japan's teishoku plates. Definitely going back for more in the future! read more

My wife and I were craving some fried fish, she recommended a place she ate with one of our friends. Located in tozai plaza. We ordered two fish tacos a fried mushroom taco, a side of the sidewinder fries and the fish sandwich. First off everything was great, I haven't been to fried fish sandwich spot before except of McDonalds for the filet o fish. This honestly is 10/10 and the homemade chip that came along with it great as well, I also ordered the Gabe taco which was the portabella mushroom taco is a must try I really enjoyed that, I would order the 2 taco special next time as it was packed with flavor. Service was great the woman at the register was so happy attending and made sure we were enjoying our meal! My wife asked more of the house made chimichurri sauce which is also a must try we used it on the chip, fries, and tacos. Cute place which was a dedication to I'm not sure if it was a friend or family member. I'm sure they are making him proud!! read more

Service was great! Server was helpful. Casual restaurant serving limited fish entrees. Portions are just right. Our fishes were fresh and tasted great. Their green sauce is a Peruvian hot green sauce. Goes great with the fish. The side options are pretty simple and compliments all of the entrees. We will be back to try the other items on the menu. read more

I had the opportunity to visit this restaurant. First, I must say that this is a pescatarian's dream. Seafood heaven. The customer service was wonderful. I ordered the Fried Trout Plate. It came with garlic noodles and steamed vegetables. I will say that the Trout was the star of the plate. It was fried to perfection. The garlic noodles definitely needed more garlic. They actually just reminded me of noodles with Alfredo sauce on them. Lacked flavor. The steam vegetables were rather basic. The four stars comes from the great tasting Trout, the excellent customer service, and the very clean environment. read more

Sorry, Uncle Mac, but we have some constructive feedback for you. The food was too salty. The flavors of the sauces were delicious, so don't let them be overshadowed by salt. The grilled fish was overdone. It could do with less cooking time. We did enjoy the fish burger; it was like a luxurious filet-o-fish! The texture of the fish in the burger and the breading were perfect. Overall, that was very satisfying. We were expecting the tom yum fries to be spicy and bursting with lime, galangal, and other flavors, but on their own, they just tasted salty. They really needed the accompanying sauce, which was flavorful but again too salty. After our meal, we did not feel well that night. Overall, it was not a great first experience. Maybe we will try you again someday... read more

Delicious, clean and good price. I highly recommend this place. Thank you for the great service. read more

The fried fish sandwich or "fish burger" is a 10/10. It's like a fancy higher quality Filet O Fish served with freshly fried potato chips. Fish was lightly battered, crisp, and piping hot. Tartar sauce and the green (chimichurri maybe?) sauces were really tasty as well. Tom Yum Sidewinder Fries were a little over-seasoned but still very delicious and I'd order again. Inside is bright and clean with a serve your own water and condiments section. Two bathrooms are well maintained and clean as well. Parking is tough because of the overall busy-ness of the plaza but this place deserves a lot more patrons, food is really good and I wish them success! read more

Located inside Tozai plaza off Western Ave and Redondo Beach Blvd in Gardena. A fairly new place. A good amount of seating. You place your order and if dinning in they will bring the food to you. I got the Chino-Shrimp Tacos fried w/ rice and beans and a cup of Clam Chowder. Also to drink I got an Arnold Palmer in a bottle. Service and workers were excellent. Overall the food was good. read more

I absolutely loved the customer service here. The woman who helped me who I believe may be the owner was incredibly kind and welcoming. This was my first time trying this place, and I was truly impressed. I ordered the crawfish noodles, and they were amazing. Full of flavor and perfectly cooked. I highly recommend giving this spot a try if you're in the area! read more

The food was delicious, I got the whole trout plate fried, with the garlic noodles ! It was fire And the gentleman there was very nice and had great customer service.

Their customer service is always on point. I love coming here and feeling welcomed. As soon as I walked in the cashier was very friendly and recommended this new dish item on their menu. I usually go for the salmon plate with garlic noodles but this dish did not disappoint it was delicious. The crawfish was cooked to perfection, the noodles were flavorful and the best part was that it had a kick to it because of the cajun seasoning. Can't wait to go back and get it again. read more

Since it is lent period, I am looking for place that serve good seafood. I find this new place while my son is having fencing comp around Torrance area. The restaurant looks legit and foods look appetizing. When ordering the grilled Swai plate, they tell me that they change the spicy garlic sauce to regular, my wife is a little disappointed. They should have stuck with the original rather changing it, just too bad. I also order the fish and chips, Cod fish burger and a side of garlic noodle. The noodle has a great amount of garlic taste, however, it is bland. All the fishes are fresh, no fishy smell or taste, which is great. By the way, I order everything to go and I live in SGV area. I do hope they will continue to thrive in this type of cuisine. read more

The chicken sandwich was very flavorful and the chips hit the spot. Not heavy, yet filling.

BEST new casual, seafood spot in Gardena! It's def Long Beach Fish Grill 2.0. Talkin about the OG one in Long Beach, of course. Kathy greeted us and broke down the menu for us so that we were able to make the best decision for what we were in the mood for. She was so friendly and helpful. I got the fish burger and it was the largest, juiciest, and softest fried cod I've ever had. I was overwhelmed. In a good way. The tom yum fries/wedges were *chef's kiss* but I wasn't expecting the onion rings to be SO GOOD! My partner got the shrimp burger and I'm still fantasizing about it. Paired with the Thai spicy seafood sauce (I also mixed it with the tartar)- I can honestly say I've never tasted anything like it. I actually put it on everything I ate and I'm hooked. Everything was so good, I went back 3 days later for the tacos and brought some friends- delectable. Like mentioned, reminded me of the old LB Fish Grill that I've been missing for YEARS now and it did not disappoint. The quality of the seafood is top notch. That spicy seafood sauce, though! Upgrades everything. I'm already planning what I'm having next time- the whole fish for sure. The garlic noodles- addictive. Just the right amount of creaminess and pairs with everything. The charm of this spot though, is the beautiful inspiration behind all this- which is a tribute to (Uncle) Mac, the man who started it all (the OG LB Fish Grill). That's why Gardena culture is woven throughout the space and I hope folks take a little time to take in and spot out the little Easter eggs that make this place special. For example, all the tacos are named after Mac's childhood homies. You can't really tell it's a seafood spot from the outside, but I kind of hope that the owners keep it that way. It's a tribute to the best-kept-secret that Gardena is, a city with the best authentic food! This place is going to blow up for sure so go before the lines start wrapping around the building. So glad you're (still) here, Uncle Mac! read more

The portabello tacos are the bomb!! They are seasoned well with a light batter - and the crunch does not disappoint. Oh!! You need the Yom Yum fries!! Uh-Ma-Zing! I love that this is a family owned restaurant, I can feel the love in the food and the care in the details of the decor. The different taco plates are each named after a group of Gardena local elementary school friends who grew up together and still hang?!! It's unique. The staff is friendly and helpful. Yay for a new authentic Gardena gem. read more

Uncle Mac’s Kitchen - The Gabe!! The portabello tacos!! - Seafood Near Me - Gardena, California

Seafood is not a food group I particularly gravitate towards. With that in mind, I have been to Uncle Mac's two weekends in a row. Just for "the George" Fish Taco. I will dare to say that it's better than Taco Nazo. Yeah. I said it. I'm standing on Fish Taco business. When you try it with the magical 'green' salsa and the umami slaps you in the back of your throat you will know what I'm talking about. Go. Get the Fish Taco. Great service. Love the self-service pebble ice machine. Another Gardena gem! read more

I come here often because usually it is empty and I love that it isn't packed. The food is always fresh and delicious, especially their green sauce, which I wish can be bottled. I grew up with going to McDonald's and having their Fish Filet but Uncle Mac's is 10000 better and I always get the fish sandwich or the fish and chips. So so good. Ambience is laid back, with music that isn't too loud. Everything is clean and I just don't get why Boiling Point is worth the 1hr wait. Plus, you can smell how dirty Bowling Point is, it's like they never clean that place. Uncle Mac's is a love letter to seafood and a family member who was part of the South Bay community and a shining example of a great small business. Green sauce all the way!! read more

Uncle Mac's is the real deal. The fish burger was massive, crispy, and juicy, and those house chips were so crunchy and addicting I almost forgot to share. The whole trout plate was just as good, with perfectly crispy skin and tender meat, plus garlic noodles that could honestly be their own star. On top of the food, the restaurant itself is clean, bright, and beautiful, which made the meal even better. Generous portions, fair prices, and super friendly service, you'll walk out full, happy, and already planning your next visit. read more

Tasty local restaurant rooted in Gardena. Definitely recommend the fish sandwich and chips. It was made fresh and was worth the cost. The fish breading was nice and crunchy even after taking it home. The fish itself was moist and a great size. The chips had great flavor by itself and was even better with the tartar sauce! The manager and person at the register were nice and polite. Plenty of seats when I went around 6:30pm. Parking was typical of Tozai Plaza. read more
