California Fish Grill - Seafood Near Me - Gardena, California

I had a really frustrating experience. I ordered and paid but had to wait for my food. I told the employee my name and I sat there to wait past the time it suggested for my Togo food.. while starving, and instead of paying attention to orders, several crew members were eating and hanging out. Meanwhile, my food was sitting ready for about 15 minutes getting cold, and no one bothered to call it out or bring it to me. It was honestly annoying to watch staff take care of themselves while completely ignoring guests. By the time I finally got my food, it wasn't even fresh anymore--just cold and disappointing. Service like that completely ruins the experience. I expect better awareness and professionalism, especially when customers are waiting right in front of you. read more

I've ordered from this restaurant a number of times through Door Dash. Yesterday, I decided to order and pick up the food at the actual restaurant. My first impression of this place was that it looked very trendy with its modern industrial decor. For some reason, I always pictured this place being a bare bones Mom and Pop operation. Turns out this is a chain restaurant. Not that there's anything wrong with that. This place has a couple of kiosks where you can order your food, but I wasn't given the opportunity to use it. There was an employee next to the kiosk who tapped on the kiosk for me. This was my one knock against this place. The employee rushed me through the order, tapping on the screen very fast. She didn't let me look at the menu carefully. Anyway, my order was ready relatively fast and it was predictably good. I always get the battered fish since it's crispy on the outside and steamy on the inside. The breaded shrimp here is very good as well. One thing I didn't know this place had were lobster rolls. I noticed it on signage while I was waiting for the food (no way I would have caught it on the kiosk menu screen with the speed at which the employee was tapping on the kiosk). I'm going to have to try that out the next time I visit this restaurant. read more

Surprisingly the best bang for your buck would be to order the Classic Fried battered fish with fried shrimp with 2 sides! 13.50 is pretty reasonable. Clam chowder is a bit pricey at 7.99 despite small portion. read more

Hubby remembered eating lunch here and highly recommended it so we came for lunch today. There's a large menu board when you enter but it doesn't describe the item. Then there's only kiosks to order and luckily there's an employee to help order and answer questions. They have a good selection of bowls and I ordered the citrus shrimp bowl - lightly breaded with a sweet citrus sauce on a bed of rice that had green onions,cabbage,sesame seeds. It was delicious and had a generous portion of shrimp. Hubby had the clam chowder and liked it. read more

California Fish Grill - The best - Seafood Near Me - Gardena, California

Been to this location a couple of times. I do have to give the disclaimer that I am not one that enjoys any kind of seafood. I hardly ate it growing up and still don't enjoy the flavor today. That being said, I have tried both the swai and tilapia in their garlic butter sauce and it wasn't bad. Their rice is fluffy and buttery too which helps. Not sure how this place fairs compared to other seafood, but if I thought it was okay, then it must be pretty good. My brother who does enjoy seafood likes it too. Even got my toddler to eat it. It's an order at the counter type place. This plaza is pretty large with a large parking lot so it's easy to get to and park. Worth checking it out if you haven't tried it and I think you'll find something you like. Enjoy! read more

100/10 experience at CFG today. The food was delicious the best I've had out of all the times I've been here. Could really taste the love they put into the food. I got the swai plate with Brussels sprouts rice and shrimp. Everything was immaculate and very fresh. Even the battered fish and shrimp was so delicious. George was super friendly and took care of us and as well as all the other staff working hard. Come check them out and they will take care of you and your seafood needs ‍ read more

Can't tell you how much I love this place. I went last night and was undecided of what to get and Evelyn recommended me the honey citrus chicken bowl. It was really really delicious, definitely getting it again. Besides the food being good every single time. Evelyn was the manager's she's very helpful!! read more

I have been coming here for over 15 years. The food is always pretty good and the customer service is good. Today was something different, while coming to grab some lunch. A young man by the name of Herbert and his customer service, definitely something everyone needs to experience. He helped me with my order and adding my coupons, rechecked my receipt on another order, and continued to offer help if needed. While eating, I observed how he interacted with the other customers, and one can tell he loves his job. When I finished eating, I was able to get his attention, and he continued to assist me with to-go containers for my food. I'd typically give CFG a 4, but Herbert definitely made my experience today a 5. read more

5/29 I had the lobster tails over priced $27.99 and a really small portion . Clam chowder soup was not good . Soggy Parmesan bread . Bad lettuce in Caesar salad . Really dissatisfied. On line orders , had to wait .? A kong wait . The place was not crowded. Still long wait . read more

Evelyn offer me excellent service. She was very friendly and helpful with suggestion the different meals that are on the menu.

The experience was phenomenal and the food was delicious I come here constantly or whenever I can and Evelyn was providing amazing costumer service read more

There are so many smokers in front of the entrance, and it discouraged me to visit this location again. There are many customers who take a small cup for water and drinking soda. I felt so stupid for paying $3+. There is no clear line for people who are ordering and for those who are waiting to pick their online order up. Other than that, the dishes taste very good, and the workers are very helpful. read more

I had to ask myself why it had been so long since last visit. The food was great. George provided service over and above

First time at this California Fish Grill location and it won't be the last. Just a simple miso grilled salmon bowl. It was amazingly fresh, delish and refreshing. The citrus miso dressing was so good! The Garlic Butter is insanely addictive. The service is friendly. Very clean dining area. read more

The fish tastes fresh and very well cooked and Georgia rate Alex gave me free sauce lastly it's busy so you know it's a really good time to eat because that means people actually enjoy the food here.

I've been to the location near Manhattan Beach but never to this one. I've seen you consistently but didn't stop buying to my mom wanted to. The service was very welcoming and the wall decor was awesome. There's plenty of parking as well. The dining area was clean and very spacious but could use a little bit more light. Their plates look very delicious. Your crispy fish tacos are out of this world. read more

I come here frequently with my grandparents. I have to say the customer service is exceptional each time. Each time we've come khrystal, Eduardo, and luz have personally come up and helped assist my grandparents navigate placing their orders while applying their coupons and senior discounts patiently despite it being busy and at the end of a long day. I greatly appreciate the staff here and the food is incredibly delicious and always fresh! the staff and their care in the food they make is the reason we will keep coming back. read more

Amazing food for a great price! We love all the fish plates here. Staff are friendly and service are good

Do not get the lobster rolls from here. The portion size is relatively small maybe 2.5oz of lobster per roll and the bread is literally broken. For $30 your better off getting a lobster roll else where in the South Bay like Lobster Guys or Tower12 where they'll give you a much more generous portion for the same price. read more

Came to California Fish Grill today,I hadn't been in a while. Young lady was available to help you place your order via the kiosk,I wanted to order the giant shrimp and I was told that they no longer have it on the menu!! Why!! Please bring it back!! Order the shrimp skewers instead and my food was ready very promptly. read more

This place is a complete joke. They advertise promotions online just to lure people in, then act clueless when you try to redeem them. I went in expecting them to honor their own deal, and the manager couldn't even do the bare minimum. It's either false advertising or pure incompetence--honestly, probably both. The service was terrible, the whole experience was frustrating, and it felt like they just don't care about customers at all. If this is how they treat people, it's no surprise they lose business. Save your time and money--there are way better places that actually respect their customers. read more

I haven't eaten at this CFG location in many years, it's very digital now lol basically you can place your own order on a screen and of course they have employees to help too if you'd like to place an order with someone. I had a few questions B4 ordering and so I ended just going digital with the help of a readily available young man. Bummed they don't have mahi mahi right now and Just FYI, the only wild caught fish is the rock fish. I was intrigued with the menu of add ons so I had rock fish with brussel sprouts, very tasty. And my other sides were fries, tomato and fetaa + a Caesar salad, which I'm craving after that visit so I already visited the Long Beach location, yeah not the same. I really like the options!!! Not only was this healthy spot affordable, the food was delicious. Will certainly be back to this location. read more

I love love love this place! I've been frequenting this spot since I moved back home in 2014. I love the fact they sell wine and I always come here to decompress. The vibe is chill.

Fish well done and a shrimp skewer and a glass of Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio! Next time you're in Gardena stop by! :) read more
