    Two piece fried fish with fries and kale slaw.
    Julie M.

    Tried one of the newer lobster menu items this time. Lobster roll small but tasty; bread toasted nicely and the melted butter to drizzle over it was nice. Their clam chowder is hearty, not too thick, delicious! The cajun shrimp taco had a kick even without the sauce.. The fried fish was just ok. Avocado and something more acidic would have helped. Salmon taco was pretty good, loved the dynamite sauce. Avoided the cilantro and tomatoes with all the parasite fear going on right now. The tortillas are a little thick, but flavorful. The menu has so many options- most of what we've tried has been quality fish and tasty. The staff is ALWAYS very kind, efficient and helpful!

    Caesar salad
    Taba L.

    I ordered fish from California Fish Grill for lunch, and what I received did not resemble fish at all. The entrée looked like grilled chicken placed on top of rice, and the presentation was careless and rushed. The Caesar salad was another disappointment. the salad itself looked dry, unevenly chopped, and thrown into the container without any care. Even with dressing provided separately, a Caesar salad should still look fresh and properly prepared. I expect accuracy, freshness, and basic attention to detail. Unfortunately, this experience missed the mark on all of those. I hope the team improves their accuracy, presentation, and overall quality control, because this visit did not reflect the standard this restaurant claims to uphold.

    Burrito Bowl Salmon

    I used to go to California Fish Grill all the time especially the one in Gardena. I recently visited the Lakewood location and I really enjoyed the kiosk ordering. There was a line, but it helped move things along smoothly. Kiosk were very simple and easy to use. The bathrooms and restaurant dining area were very clean and the workers seem to be very busy keeping it that way. I ordered the salmon bowl and they were very generous with their servings, and it was loaded with flavor The workers ask you if you want salsa. I remember they used to have an area where you self serve, but they don't do that anymore. You have to ask for lemon and salsa at this location. The food is generally good and a healthy fast food option. Prices are reasonable!

    Bulk receipt for concept of time--fantastic timing, great customer service!

    I simply had to post this review because the service provided by Marilyn was absolutely fantastic! Of course, the food and amenities is good by default--healthy eats is hard to come by reasonably in this economy--the portions are perfect, the seafood always tastes fresh and is seasoned well. However, the cherry on top was the top notch efficiency, accomodations, and communication provided by Marilyn. Furthermore, they were on time despite the size of the order (see the receipt to show how big the order was). I was antsy, but because she was communicative and made sure I had everything I needed, coming back was not necessary and nothing was missed!! Cheers to this location and to Marilyn!

    CAJUN SHRIMP TACO COMBO
    Stephanie H.

    First time at the California Fish Grill location, and probably will not be my last! Inside was spacious and busy in the later afternoon. The line moved quickly, orders are taken at a kiosk. There was a worker standing nearby to help if needed, which was nice. The kiosk was easy to navigate, and their menu is pretty expansive with different fish options, as well as shrimp and even lobster! They even have chicken options for the non seafood lovers. I chose the Cajun shrimp taco combo with a side of zucchini and tomato/feta, which also came with a drink, which I felt was a great deal! The shrimps were nice and plump, and I loved the fresh veggies and pickled onions on the tacos. They even offered complimentary sauces, lemons, and cilantro! Will definitely be back to try their other options, possibly the lobster nachos heh!

    5/25/26 - Branzino Dinner with Mom. We both love their Branzino Fish!
    Christine H.

    My Mom and I enjoy dining at California Fish Grill in Long Beach, CA. Our favorite fish is their Branzino. Last night, we both had Branzino Dinners, and different sides. The food was prepared perfectly, and was so delicious! And the service is excellent, as always.

    Went here for dinner last night. I got shrimp tacos and a swai taco. They were both awesome. Got the shrimp in corn and flour, preferred the flour. Also got a side of Brussels sprouts that were very tasty! My wife got a plate with rice and corn, was very fresh and light. It's a nice setup inside a mini strip mall setting. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. Good spot for sure.

    Salmon Salad

    Always come here when I visit California! The Cajun Salmon salad is always bomb 10/10. Thanks Tay for helping my mom and I get situated with our food!

    Great juicy flavorful chicken tacos, best tacos ever…read more best salsa I've ever had in awhile and added so much to the tacos. It's slightly expensive but honestly worth it. 4 chicken tacos 4 life

    Guisados has a special place in my heart. When I worked in Boyle heights, it was our go to place…read morefor lunch so I was pleasantly surprised to find a new guisados in Long Beach, so close to home. The food is always so good! My go to is the sampler to get a little of everything. The cochinita pibil is one of my all time favorites and the mole poblano. Absolutely delicious!! The service here is good. We didn't necessarily have a great experience though. They messed up our order and we never got it fixed. We just happened to be there when there was a big party there too and it seemed like staff was a bit flustered. I told the workers about our order and they just forgot. We waited for over 15 min and when I went up to ask again, they realized they had forgotten about us and hadn't made our correct order so we decided to leave it and just go. Regardless of that hiccup, the staff were very friendly and they were apologetic about the situation. I would come back for sure and give it another try. The Boyle heights location has always been on top of it and I've never experienced a bad visit so I wouldn't say this location is bad off of one visit. The space is small and has inside and outside seating. We tried to eat outside but that bigger party took up a lot of the seats out there. They have a beautiful mural inside too and we luckily got a table. Overall, guisados is a must and I'm happy there's a location closer to me now.

    Finally tried this place out! We had the papas asada and it was great! It wasn't dry. Lots of meat…read moreand right amount of cheese. Downside is just parking around the neighborhoods then you have to walk over. But hey I think it's worth the small walk and think of it as exercise before you dig into your awesome meal.

    So, I turned to TikTok, the treasure trove of foodie recommendations, hoping to discover something…read morespecial. That's when I found this gem! I realized that this pop-up was actually just a street away from where I live, which made the decision even easier. Upon arriving, I encountered a bit of a wait--there were at least 15 folks ahead of me in line, eagerly anticipating their delicious orders. After standing in line for about 10 minutes, I could sense excitement building in the air as the line inched forward. As I observed the scene, I couldn't help but feel the buzz of anticipation surrounding me.. The flavors of sweet marinated pork and fresh pineapple have a way of dancing on your palate. I plan to capture a few photos to share once I'm a little closer to the front of the line. Got a taco dinner $10 rice,beans and 3 tacos and Agua fresca horchata So here's the review I got three tacos Al pastor 2/5 no flavor .. it was missing more citrus and seasoning,even the piña bites where bland Carne Asada 2/5 it taste like reheated leftovers in which he poured all the meat on the plancha Pollo 4/5 had seasoning Rice 4/5 flavorful Beans 2/5 no flavor ,pinto beans Horchata 3/5 overly sweet Overall they hype is not what you think. Tacos are affordable,Agua frescas $5 Will I be back probably not.
