So so Good! Service is always on point, probably because the owner is so nice and is usually there working. Also, they were playing Aaliyah deep cuts last time I picked up my food so I was jamming and scrolling while I waited for my whole fish with the head on with tom yum seasoning! The garlic noodles and that green sauce is also so tasty. :-). Support your local business!

Everything was delicious. I treated myself to 4 different taco all fish. Cod fish taco, salmon taco, shrimp taco and mahi mahi taco all 4.99 each. The best one.,..,Salmon. All very tasty. Happy Taco Tuesday . I will be back next Tuesday!

Great fish restaurant addition to the area! The owners of this restaurant are affiliated with the nearby Thai restaurant (Sweet Rice, Bowl Thai, Thai Hot Pot) so there's a Thai influence to the food and it's great! The worker was helpful and kind! I tried one battered cod taco and one grilled mahi taco and both were tasty! I preferred the battered one a little more because they really nailed the crispy and salty batter. But the grilled mahi was still delicious. Each taco comes with a white sauce, onions, pico and lime. I wish they gave a little more pico and less white sauce. It also comes with a delicious Thai green seafood sauce, which is a great mix of savory, sour and herbaceous. Their corn tortillas are good too! Each taco is around $5 which isn't bad, especially because size-wise, they're pretty big and filling! I actually liked their fish tacos so much that I went back later in the week to try their salmon taco. Their salmon was grilled and flavorful, I enjoyed this one too! Definitely will be back!

All the 5* reviews got me to try this place. I ordered the Salmon Plate with spicy sauce and garlic noodles, Fish and Chips, and Fried Zucchini. The zucchini was the highlight as it had the right amount of batter and seasoning. The salmon was dry, lacking in sauce with no hint of spicy. The fish and chips wasn't bad. I really wanted to love this place, but food was average, nothing to write home about. I might go back to try a fish sandwich, but not much else.

Fish burger was delicious. Good size deep fried fish burger and the bun was soft and delicious without falling apart. Also ordered the portobello mushroom taco which was excellent. Both front of staff employees chatted with us and were very friendly. Dining area very clean with ample seating. Definitely going back to try more of the menu.

Uncle Mac's Kitchen serves all things seafood-related. Fish tacos, fish burgers, shrimp tacos, shrimp noodles, crawfish salad, mahi mahi plates...all delicious and satisfying to you seafood lovers out there. They are a casual, quick-service restaurant, so the price-point is decent for what you get. The service is quick and pleasant. Also...do not sleep on their Tom Yum sidewinder fries. First thing I have tasted that flavor in besides Thai soup - keep that coming, because those fries were delicious and unique! Finally, the name of this kitchen is a tribute. Each taco is named for a lifelong brother. Very sweet, and an illustration of how small business is a connector of community. Enjoy!

I ordered through grub hub for pick up. Pictures do no justice. Food was really good. *Fish sandwich was perfect along with the tartar sauce. *Shrimp and fish tacos were tasty. *Potato rings were like mini hash browns. *Tom Yum Sidewinder fries were alright.

My friend and I finally got a to stop into Uncle Mac's and our disappointment was realizing that we didn't visit sooner. The restaurant is spacious and minimalist with some framed art on the walls but nothing "fancy" and that's great. When you enter, you simply walk up to the counter to place your order. There's a photo menu of the food on the window so you can see what's available before walking in but at the counter there is a fuller menu listing sides so check that out too. We were greeted by a friendly server who answered my questions about flavors and after she took our order we took a seat by the window and waited. What a great food experience! My friend ordered the fish and chips and I had the whole fried tilapia! The fish and chips batter was soooooo good. You could see the seasoning used fried into the batter and the cod pieces were huge! I like their take on chips, homemade potato chips, a crunch in every bite. The tilapia was fried perfectly! I love a good crunch to the skin and I think Uncle Mac's gets it right--fried on the outside and tender on the inside. My meal came with the rice pilaf and steamed veggies. Both of our meals came with a cilantro chutney which was such a contrast to the fried aspect of the fish, a great balance. I ordered my tilapia tom yum style and will definitely get the garlic butter option next. I'm kicking myself for not getting the name of the woman we talked to as we were headed out (she works at the restaurant) because she made some recommendaitons for what to get on our next visit. Uncle Mac's is affiliated with Bowl Thai in Pacific Square and you know what, you could tell. Great service, welcoming environment, and great food!.

My friends and I were looking for a place that sold fish tacos and seafood and discovered this place on yelp. I ordered the shrimp burger as my other friends ordered a grilled tilapia plate and tacos. My expectations with the food were low before coming here, but I was left very satisfied afterwards. Never would've thought there would be food that left me surprised and impressed, but Uncle Mac's kitchen brought something sooo so flavorful, even my friends and I were saying it felt very homey haha. A bit pricy if you're on a certain budget, but I'd say it's very much worth the pay! The cashier was also incredibly welcoming, and when he dropped off our plates to our tables he explained what we had. Amazing service and great first experience! Thank you for the amazing food! God Bless you and your loved ones :,)

This place can frickin fry! Hands down the best fish taco I've had yet. They really nailed the lightest crispy, but never soggy batter. The ratio of slaw and cream is on point, and the green sauce they give you is incredibly flavorful. This is also just a fairly hefty and filling filet of fish so I always leave pretty satisfied. Their tom yum fries are also just perfectly cooked. I've never seen such a wild looking wedge fry. It's perfectly fluffy on the inside with a nice crunch on the outside. Definitely have to try these two. The whole fried fish is also perfectly crispy outside and moist inside. I'm not sure how they do it but everything is just perfectly fried lol. The garlic noodles are creamy and have plenty of garlic taste. This place is criminally unknown and is my new go to spot for a delicious and affordable fish meal. I really hope people try this new place because it's sad to see this amazing restaurant empty while there are lines out of the already established ones in the same plaza. My message to the restaurant: I think you should really market some kind of specialty and identity. Right now, everything on your menu is equally highlighted and advertised. I think you should really try to emphasize the fish plates and fish tacos. I don't think anyone really sees the numerous small pictures on the outside and knows what to order. Give new customers an idea of what to buy. Lean more into your subtle Thai identity. You guys fry fish incredibly well, and it's perfect for when that is something I crave. It is just not something that compels me to eat here more often. The green sauce is good, but even that gets boring after the novelty wears off. What you need is some variety. I would love to be able to change it up to something like a laarb flavored fish taco. Instead of just butter sauce, I would love a panang sauce on my grilled fish. It would really help with keeping things interesting and exciting. Balsamic vinaigrette and ranch are also not really the dressing choices I'm looking for with my seafood salad. I would absolutely order the crawfish salad every time if it came dressed like a Thai beef salad. I look forward to seeing this spot figure out it's niche.

Finally tried the potato rings and fish & chips! I appreciate that the fish was not overly battered and was mainly fish. I enjoyed everything! George was the kindest as always and provided the best service!

Food was amazing! Tanya suggested the fish and shrimp sandwiches and both did not disappoint. I came with my friend and she also ordered mushroom tacos, clam chowder, and I ordered the tom yum sidewinder fries and the battered green beans. Everything we ordered was delicious and I can't wait to come back! Service was great and ambiance was clean with plenty of seating, self serve water, and it is located in the tozai plaza so there's plenty of parking as well.

Tasty fish tacos and tom yum fries! Did not know of this new spot until I was invited by yelp friends. This eatery is located in busy Tozai plaza known for its challenging parking. We got here at a decent hour on a Friday before 6pm so there were several rows of parking towards the back. There was a friendly cashier and order taker at the counter who also brings the food to you when dining in. They have only been open since March 1st so not a lot of Friday dinner traffic yet. I like the fish tacos. I get the flavors of the batter, cilantro, lime, and creamy sauce. They give you a salsa in a cup to jazz it up as well. Tom Yum fries are yum although some of the seasoning falls to the bottom of the tray. Beans and rice are A-OK! Could not get into the clam chowder. A bit watery. The dining area is clean and has city of Gardena related decor. Great service and hospitality. The hubby and I chatted with the very kind cashier and the owners are AAPI (Filipino specifically) I told her "sarap and salamat" which translates to delicious and thank you!
