    Tomato & feta side dish
    Tora M.

    Sustainably caught fish that's fresh & affordable. You can be as healthy as you here with ample protein & veggies and even cauliflower "rice". You can also be as wicked as you like with their fried fish items. I've been here a bunch of times, but most recently on a Friday night at 7pm and it was PACKED! Which meant the wait was 20 minutes for my two grilled fish plates. The staff was hustling! I saw more than six cooks in the kitchen and four staff at the counter. I do think their touchscreen self checkout slows things down a lot. It would be faster if someone else input the order. The fish (salmon & Branzino) is done American-style, which means a bit crisp on the edges and overdone by this Asian person's standards. All in all though, a good, healthy fast food option that's well-priced.

    We stopped here before hitting the 4DX theatre to see GOAT. The boys chose this place out of all the options and for the most part, it was pretty good but I did have a few issues. Parking wasn't one of them because it's surrounded by several restaurants and shops which all share the same parking. It probably gets busy on a nice sunny day but it was pretty empty during the rain. However, the 1st issue was, with it being my first time here and not being aware that you can only order at the kiosks, I was standing there for a few mins looking at the worker behind the counter waiting for him to call us up as he was looking at me. The manager finally told his employee to help me order on the kiosk and then that's when I realized you can only order through the kiosk and I told him I got it. Secondly, most of the tables were clean but the one booth we wanted in the corner so I cleaned it and we got our seat. Lastly, the fries were over cooked and a little too crispy/hard. They were seasoned good but just way too crispy and hard. Now for the good! The Lobster Rolls were really good! I ordered the two lobster roll combo with fries and a drink and the boys ordered fish & chips kids meals. It seemed like they had no issues and liked their meals. Overall, I would 100% be back for the lobster rolls but they need to clean up the area a little better. They also need to take the fries out sooner than they did. This place would be solid with a few fixes. OOOC 3.5 out of 5 Afros

    The food was delicious. I had the poke nachos, clam chowder, and the Brussel sprouts. I also liked that we are able to order alcoholic drinks. I do want to come back for the lobster rolls. The service was amazing the people were all attentive of the customer and helpful when they did not know how to order. They are plenty of spaces for people to eat and enjoy their food with their family. I will come back best believe especially because of the customer service.

    Everything Protein bowl without beans

    Stopped by for lunch this afternoon. It wasn't my first time here but it had been a while. I ordered at the kiosk, which was convenient and easy. The everything protein bowl was delicious and very filling. I love how they have the calories listed under each dish on the menu. They have healthy options too. Everything tasted fresh. The restaurant was clean with plenty of seating. Restrooms were clean and stocked as well.

    Food was delicious! The salmon protein bowl is incredible and comes with a good amount of fish!! Service is great team members are very helpful and check in on you! Sweet potato fries are crispy and paired with a delicious sauce that has a slight kick! Ambiance is great really clean place to enjoy some fish ! 10/10

    lots of parking outside right off of Hollywood way and Verdugo and lots of activity in this location. the food was great all around especially the tomato and feta, simple yet perfectly executed and fresh. lots of people inside having their meal and a good time it seemed. professional service from the staff as well.

    Ya girl has been obsessed with California Fish Grill lately and when in Burbank to see Halloween lights, I hit the Burbank CFG up! I'm happy to report this location upholds all the same standards as the others, with a big ol' parking lot to boot! I love parking lots in LA! lol I love their new wild rockfish! I got that on this visit with some delish but not overpowering teriyaki sauce. Then a plump shrimp skewer with their garlic butter sauce mixed with cajun sauce on top. Deliciously divine, y'all! I swear that garlic butter sauce is the bomb. I dream about it. It's like dessert in sauce form. Everything at CFG is always so fresh, great portion sizes and truly delicious flavors. It never disappoints for a healthy meal that doesn't break the bank!

    Three pieces, fish and chips, KALESLAW

    We had low expectations for this restaurant. But we were pleasantly surprised. All of the food was fresh and delicious. Portion sizes were generous. The fish and chips were a really good deal. We got the one with three pieces of fish and they were very large. We really liked the grilled flavor on the shrimp trio. And the garlic butter sauce is absolutely amazing, as everybody says. The coconut shrimp was crunchy and flavorful. It came with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce. Staff were friendly and helpful. Even when I asked if the asparagus was decent, haha! I don't think it's quite worth the extra charge for asparagus, since they only give you three spears. But it was nice asparagus! Fries were really good. They had old Bay seasoning and rich potato flavor. Sweet potato fries were also really good. They seem to be thicker cut and the ones at other restaurants. they come packaged in a cleverly designed container with ventilation to keep it from getting soggy and a spot on the lid for the sauce. DH got the Branzino with brown rice and plain zucchini. All of the items were fresh and tasty. The rice and the fish and chips were a bit saltier than expected, but the grilled zucchini helped to offset this. The restaurant itself is clean and there is plenty of seating inside. It was very busy on a Saturday night for dinner. Which is always a good sign! It took about 10 minutes for the food to come out and everything was hot. The employee packaging the food checked over the order very carefully to make sure it was perfect. If you're looking for tasty seafood at a reasonable price, give this place a try.

    I had a great experience at California Fish Grill in Burbank! Dev, the manager, was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and patient. She took the time to answer my questions and helped me decide what to order without making me feel rushed. Her recommendations were spot on, and you can tell she genuinely cares about making sure customers have a great experience. The restaurant itself had a really great vibe--clean, inviting, and the staff worked well together. Everyone seemed happy to be there, which made the whole experience even better. Between the excellent customer service and the delicious food, I'll definitely be coming back. Thanks again to Dev and the team for making my visit such an enjoyable one!

    Chicken bowl and chips
    Pam D.

    Kiosk ordering is available. Ordered a chicken teriyaki bowl. I had a bowl recently but I cannot remember which one. Their chips and salsa is delicious. Service is quick and it's a clean and quiet eating space. They have lobster rolls now too. Lots of vegetarian options.

    I hadn't been to this location in a while, but I'd been seriously craving California Fish Grill, so I decided to swing by on my way home from work. I went with the Miso Salmon Bowl, which was packed with flavor. It was Grilled Salmon, Miso Slaw, spicy Quinoa-Edamame Rice, Red & Green Onion, Tomato, Black Sesame Seeds, and their Citrus Miso Sauce. I love when they have the Miso sauce available as it ties everything together so well. I also got to try a couple of new components that I hadn't seen before. The Kale Miso Slaw was a standout: a modern twist with chopped kale and cabbage tossed in a super flavorful dressing that gave a nice fresh crunch. The Quinoa-Edamame Rice was another great surprise. It was white rice mixed with quinoa and edamame, seasoned with poke sauce. It had a great texture and added a bit more substance to the bowl. For a Saturday evening around 5pm, it was fairly busy, but I had no trouble finding a seat and my food came out pretty quickly. The staff was friendly and efficient, and everything tasted fresh. Definitely worth the stop. I'll be back again soon!

    I would really say it's more of 3.5 mostly for friendly service, price point, and wait time for the food. My boyfriend loves his sandwich and fries but my food was ok. The shrimp could've been cooked longer and I feel like the garlic sauce was slapped on. The rice and zucchini were pretty good but I would not order it again. The waiters were really nice and checked on us after we got our food. The strawberry mint drink they have is good but k wish it had a bit more mint taste. The restaurant itself is cute and clean, decent amount of seating inside but there's also outdoor season. Overall a good place and I would definitely go back and try something else.

Not long ago, we had some amazing tacos at the Beverly Hills location, so we wanted to give the Burbank location a try as well. Even though we had already eaten quite a few snacks earlier that day and weren't very hungry, we were still curious to see how this location compared. My mom really wanted to order the shrimp taco because she remembered how much she had enjoyed it before. However, the menu indicated that it was spicy. So, I asked if they could make it non-spicy or serve the spicy sauce on the side instead, but he explained that the taco is prepared with the spice already included, so they weren't able to do that. We then asked if they had any other seafood tacos. That's when we found out they had a ceviche taco as the special of the day, so we ordered two of those. The ceviche was fresh and flavorful, although it was a little saltier than we expected. Even so, every staff member we interacted with was incredibly friendly. The employee who took our order especially stood out. He was genuinely kind and welcoming from beginning to end. While I was eating, I realized the ceviche taco was much larger than I expected, and I got full before I could finish it. I asked for a to-go box, but I couldn't figure out how to close the lid. The employee immediately helped me close it with a smile. They were just as friendly during the ordering process as they were afterward, and their excellent customer service really made our visit enjoyable. I would definitely come back to try some of their other tacos in the future.
