Second visit to the restaurant. Thia time we ordered to go on the fish and chip deal. The fish is so crunchy and yummy. The fries are ok. I definitely will order the fish and chip again. Service is pretty quick. You order from the self-service kiosk, pay and wait for your order

Came here to have a late dinner and I was pleasantly surprised. I had mixed feelings about the cashless registers, but hey when in Rome.The good came out promptly and was quite flavorful. I had the Ahi Poke Bowl with riced cauliflower, and it was a bit salty though quite yummy. Being blood pressure conscious, I could've done with a little less salt. I ordered. Side salad and threw the lettuce on top of the bowl and didn't require dressing.The New England clam chowder was good. Ordered sea bass with the tomatoes and cheese, and a side of beans. Somehow I was expecting green beans so the pinto beans caught me off guard. All good in the end.Not bad for a first trip, and I d be open to a second.

The food was just ok, it's totally self serve except they do bring the food out to you...It felt more like an automated cafeteria. Better of driving a extra mile to the Fish market. It cost more but better food, atmosphere, and customer care.

I like this place. Quick to order, and the food comes out quickly too. Reasonable prices. Friendly staff. It's sort of help yourself and that's fine with me.The fish is decent and easy to customize through the ordering system.

Really delicious and fresh seafood spot. You order food directly on their self order screens with many different options. Service is relatively fast , like a fast food restaurant but everything is made fresh to order. The restaurant seems very efficient! We were in and out in an hour and everything was

I was very disappointed to find out that they no longer have the vegan:plant based fish and chips. Even more annoying was that the cashier helping me insisted they never had plant based items.

I wasn’t expecting much but everything was so good! I thought this would be akin to chipotle or Baja Fresh but all the fried foods were crisp and hot, the shrimp was fat and juicy with that crispy fried outer layer and the sauces were all on point! Will definitely come back here before I have to go home!

I walked in and thought the place smelled like warm fish then this crazy dude started fighting with the manager over a $1 refund and went more California Kevin than average and his friend was recording him look like a fool on Snapchat and poor manager was like 5’ tall and it was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. He threatened a bad review so here’s my good one to balance it out. Food was average, entertainment was excellent.

I was so amazed. I was thinking this guy's only. They said fish but when I went inside to get something I asked them. Do you have food without fish? The manager told me she took me to the self-serve. They have a check out system laptop by themselves she decided yes we have. Yes what do you need? I said I need a chicken sandwich. Say that we just have everything here the service. Wonderful restaurant . They set up their table. Their kitchen is so professionals

Used the app Too Good To Go and picked up a to go order at 3:15pm from California Fish Grill. They gave me 4 large sides of rice, kale salad, corn and grilled vegetables. I paid $5.47 on the app total and thought it was a great deal. The sides were plenty big enough as a meal on their own or as an accompaniment to a larger meal. I will return to try more of the menu at California Fish Grill.

Oh no!!! What happened to the beautiful battered shrimp? They used to be large prawns battered fresh and fried. We just got our food and the shrimp are tiny and the batter changed. I don't know if this is temporary or permanent but I do not like the change. Pic will be included. Please change the shrimp back to what it once was.
