    Swai fish plate, fries, clam chowder
    Eden G.

    Came here 5/9/2026 & had a wonderful dining experience! Everyone on the staff was so attentive and greeted you when you walked in. They asked if you had any questions or needed help and were so friendly. The food was also better than ever, so kudos to the cooks for doing a fantastic job. I had the clam chowder soup, fries, & the Swai fish plate with rice, Cajun style. Everything was cooked perfectly! Shoutout to Leslie the manager as well who was so kind & I let her know how appreciative I was for the great service overall. I'll be back for sure!

    I tried the Cajun shrimp tacos and they were pretty good. The sides (zucchini and beans) were just okay. My friend got the swai fish tacos with kale slaw and brussel sprouts that were good. She said the strawberry mint juice was too sweet and more like a lemonade. We came when they opened and it didn't seem like they were ready to be open yet. It was pretty dark inside.

    Some of the grease in the bottom of the container. Ridiculous. Fish and chips and grease

    Utterly disgusted by the amount of oil coming from my fish and chips. The fish looked nothing like the picture and the fries were soggy and full of oil after my 10 minute ride home. I've had the grilled fish many times, today I wanted to try the fish and chips. Bad decision on my part, bad execution on CFG. I went at lunch time so it was really crowded. I went to Trader Joe's to pass the time and still had to wait a little for my order to be ready. Two stars because they can do grilled fish right but they need to take the fish and chips off the menu or go back to the drawing board.

    Stopped by California Fish Grill near the Westfield mall in Culver City for a quick lunch and tried the Dynamite Shrimp Bowl, and it really hit the spot. The shrimp were lightly fried and tossed in their dynamite sauce, which had just the right amount of flavor without being too heavy. It came with cilantro, green onions, daikon sprouts, tomatoes, cabbage, and a sesame soy sauce that tied everything together nicely. Fresh, balanced, and filling without feeling like too much for lunch. I also ordered a fish taco (meh!) and a side of the Brussels sprouts, and those were a great add on. Cooked well with good flavor. Ordering was super easy using the kiosk, and the staff was friendly when picking up my food. The restaurant itself was clean, including the restrooms, which I always notice. Overall, a solid lunch option. Quick, fresh, & satisfying. I'll def be back.

    Any day is a good day for some CFG! I don't have to think twice about this, I know CFG provides some great seafood and sides. I'm a fanatic when it comes to the crispy tempura battered fish, and the delicious kale slaw. I usually order online, but this was a drive by decision. Once I arrived at CFG, I ordered from the kiosk, thanks to the assistance of a helpful restaurant employee. The restaurant's atmosphere is lively and energetic. I waited for my delicious food, but I didn't have to wait for long. I received a message that my order was ready, and then I was off to enjoy the rest of the day. CFG's service is on point, just like the delicious food.

    Probably the healthiest casual dining anywhere in Southern California. Eaten here twice. Service is always uniformly excellent, but ordering can sometimes take a little bit of doing. First time I had the fish and chips. Great place to start. I've also had the everything bowl which was additionally crazy good. My wife had the Poké bowl which she said was sensational.

    I want to start by saying I am a huge lover of CFG and dine at one of their locations at least once a week. Due to that, it's not easy for me to take a star off but this time it really came down to the dish I ordered. After downloading their new app, I decided to try one of the new Protein Bowls and they only had one option that was part of the deal if you got the app and it was the Everything Protein Bowl. It was described as Cajun shrimp, salmon, swai, and grilled chicken over white rice with beans, diced tomato, chili mix, and chopped parsley, served with a side of roasted tomatillo salsa. Unfortunately, it didn't look anything like the image. It ended up being a massive bowl of rice with a few pieces of fish and chicken on top, which was pretty disappointing. I probably should have said something, but since I visit so often, I know I just won't order it again and will stick to my usual plate. On a positive note, parking is super easy since it's located at the Westfield Culver City mall, so it took no time at all to park. Still a loyal CFG fan, just hoping this bowl gets a little more balance in the future.

    The associate who helped me her name is Promise. She helped me on the kiosk. She helped me understand that everything protein bowl, which is my order. She took my order for me. She has a wonderful one. Smile great customer service excellent behavior. The ambience here is peaceful chill clean environment. Nice supposed to come.

    First time in and it did not disappoint. When you enter, you can order at the counter with an employee or at a kiosk. We ordered at the kiosk and thought it was user friendly. My husband and I both ordered the everything protein bowl with added avocado and Parmesan garlic bread. The bowls came with a side of salsa and green salsa verde and we added both on our bowls. The Parmesan garlic bread came with a small side of butter to dip in. You are able to see the chef grilling the protein too. You enter a phone number when ordering on the kiosk and you receive a text when your order is ready for pick up at check counter. It was definitely good and we would return if we lived in the area.

    I've been so into California Fish Grill lately, I stopped by for lunch today after Venice Beach. This Culver City location has a good sized parking lot, plus is right next to Trader Joe's, Starbucks, and the Westfield Culver City Mall so you can take care of a few errands at once. The staff at this location are so nice! My friend and I ordered ahead for pickup, walked in to find our order hot & ready to go. Very well organized store. I tried their Grilled Rockfish Rice Plate today with their Garlic Butter Sauce and swooned over it. Honestly, the garlic butter sauce has been in my brain since last week when I tried it for the first time. I had to get back to a location to drench my throat again with that goodness. I also tried the Zucchini with my meal today and was a fan. I've been so won over by California Fish Grill! This Culver City location is another win!

    You can't go wrong with California fish grill. Free parking, easy in and out, and quality food. This is by no means a fancy restaurant, but if you are looking for some good tacos, shrimp skewers, and easy access this is the spot!

    Left- salmon and swai combo plate? One w/ half Cajun oil and garlic butter.  Right- Grilled Salmon plate  top left- clam chowder bowl.

We arrived at a peak rush-hour time. Plenty of parking, and, while the line looked quite intimidating, the wait was not nearly as bad as it looked. Really fast service and friendly staff members. Note that there's not a lot of seating, so be prepared to potentially eat in your car or take the food to-go. I ordered a Tito's taco, an enchilada, a cup of guacamole to accompany the chips and salsa with my order, and a piña agua fresca. The taco was delicious. It could have been stuffed just a bit more, but it absolutely hit the spot. The enchilada was not nearly as good as the taco, unfortunately. Texture was very tough and dense, and the flavors were not quite there. The piña agua, however, was absolutely fantastic. Tasted exactly like a fresh pineapple with a perfect level of sweetness. The chips and salsa were my favorite part of the meal, though. The salsa was superb, the guac tasted great (very much a creamy, less viscous texture), and the chips were perfectly fried and obviously fresh. Personally, I thought the prices were fair for what we received. Way higher than a taco stand where the quality would be better, equal or slightly less than a taqueria, but way lower than one of the boutique taco shops around the area, especially given the fact that the chips and salsa come with each meal.

    3 stars only because I've been coming here for over 20 years. The tacos with cheese, beef/cheese…read moreburrito, and 1 large salsa have always been my go to order. The tacos remain the best beef hard shell and the salsa is the best in the world. However, it is an absolute tragedy and should be illegal that it's $6.15 for one taco with cheese and $14.70 for a beef cheese burrito. It is also a tragedy that the burrito is kids size that my 2 year old can eat on their own. These used to be my favorite and huge, but I can no longer order them. This place used to be a family favorite but I can no longer order extras like we used to. They closed off the inside which was convenient to order, I think just to make the outside look busy. I'm not a fan of these new changes to my favorite taco place in LA.

I'm always in a rush, so I never stop. Well tonight is my night. It was a bit cold and windy, but who cares - I get TACOS! There is always a line and folks sitting at the provided tables and seats in front of their truck. They have all your favorites, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, gringas and even fajitas! My favorite and default tacos are always going to be the carnitas and carne asada. Right after that will be Al Pastor and Chicken. They also have lingua, tripe, cabeza as well as chorizo! While they take cards, bring cash, that's the best price. Card prices are a bit more. Their prices are clearly marked on the huge menu. Orders come out quick and help yourself to the condiments bar filled with limes, pickled onions, red and green salsas and sauces, radishes, and pico de gallo. The guys behind the grill are friendly and fast. They do a great job of keeping the area clean and keeping the condiment bar stocked. They have trucks all over LA. Check out their locations on their website or here on Yelp! I am coming back and want to try their burritos and tortas!

I think if the chips and salsa were still unlimited the increase in food prices wouldn't be such a hit as well. Their drinks are always great I just wish they had happy hour since the prices really are up there with other new and modern restaurants with no fun deals or unlimited chips and salsa like many other family style places. Their servers are kind and attentive and there's not a crazy amount of tables so there tends to be a wait no matter the time of day. Also parking can be hard to find as it's basically located inside a neighborhood.

However, El Primo has recently HUMBLED me. I have to give credit where credit is due and El Primo managed to slide in my number 1 spot for best tacos in LA - I am truly impressed. Of course, I always opt for carne asada and the meat here is just so tender and flavorful especially when paired with their salsa which has the perfect amount of spice and flavor. As a major pineapple fan, I understand it's more traditional to add that with al pastor but I add it onto my carne asada tacos and it is so yummy. Their pineapple is freshly cut right in front of you and is my favorite aspect of this vendor as I know not all vendors have it. Lastly, let's be clear that not all horchata is created equally but El Primo has superior horchata. The amount of milkiness and cinnamon is absolute perfection as I've had some watery horchatas in the past, so make sure you grab yourself a horchata while you're here. As someone who lives in the valley, despite recently discovering this spot a few weeks ago I find myself driving out to Venice a lot lately just for these tacos because they are just THAT GOOD and also very cheap. Just make sure you bring cash or have Zelle and enjoy the food here because it is phenomenal.
