    Cajun Swai (White/Fish)
    Melissa O.

    Placed a DoorDash order on a busy weekend, I didn't have any time to prep a meal at home so I placed an online order. I ordered grilled swai fish, tomato with feta salad and a kale salad on the side. Everything was fresh tasting and delicious. Every meal I've had from this location has always been good, no complaints here.

    12/7/2025 - The California Fisf Grill is a national chain restaurant established in 1998, which is a casual restaurant. The Dynamite Shrimp Bowl $14.75 is very good, and the shrimps are tender with a tastiful dynamite sauce applied on each shrimp. The Clam Chowder is creamy and tasty, and Ahi Poke $11.99 is also very good because the tuna's quality is high, and both tuna and avocado are fresh as well as the chips are crispy. The Sea Salt Mango Juice is excellent, and I consider it as the store's signature drink. The service from Jeymi is excellent while observing other staff who are also working hard to clean the tables!

    I love that they are included in the Too Good to go app which got me a bowl of clam chowder with oyster crackers, brown rice and zucchini sides all for $4.99! Great deal as the clam chowder alone was worth it. Their fish and chips is just ok for me as they use swai fillet and not cod or pollock. Service was quick and helpful. There is a strong smell inside so when you leave the place you smell like CFG. There's also self served drinks inside. Love the clam chowder

    Garlic Butter Shrimp & Swai Combo with Caesar Salad
    Eliseo R.

    Always a great pleasure grabbing a plate from here!! We know that we can get satisfied getting not only a filling meal, but one that tastes freshly made and healthy. I have tried different plates but lately I got their new garlic butter shrimp and swai combo!!! It came with a side salad (cesar) and I also picked beans. I loved how yummy the different plates are, and I've enjoyed the salmon too! The swai is tender and soft, a good type of fish to satisfy wanting seafood. I feel like I always need rice to feel perfectly filled here, or else the other sides may keep me a bit hungry. Portion wise I think the meat (the most important) have always been reasonable and they are not too skimpy at this branch compared to others. They seem to always be consistent in how its cooked too which is a great plus!! Free parking lot, easy spaces to find, next to a nice apartment community.

    Best Cesar Salad
    Dr. Conrad U.

    The Lenten Season always brings us to reflect on our fasting and diet choices especially on Fridays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. This is just for us who usually try to follow the mandate from church. So, we decided to go to the California Fish Grill in Northridge. Here, we had several fish choices from grilled to fried with Brown, White or Salad combos etc. we decided to try the Mahi-Mahi and combined it with the Roasted Corn and Zucchini, wow! I wish the Mahi Mahi was a little thicker but it was certainly sublime, nicely cooked and grilled and pleasantly prepared. Matched with the delicious Roasted Corn and Zucchini, I felt guilty having them on a Holy Friday and reflecting on my religious and spiritual obligations, simply the food was delish. I also ordered the Cesar Salad which was a perfect combination from my Mahi Mahi, it's a marriage made in heaven. We also ordered two of the Kid Approved Battered Fish for the babies and they finished them all with gusto. All these came with drinks, cola, lemonade or Apple Juice. But the best of all was the customer service we got from Mr. Basson who was one of those who helped us navigate the ordering process. I'd say, he certainly is the Global Ambassador of this brand and took the time to help us made our best choices for the food that was certainly perfect for us.

    This place is awesome from the service to the food , high protein bowls !! Very affordable facility is always spotless and service from manager Evelyn and staff are always accommodating I hope that is the correct name legit 10 out of 10 for me . Treated like a 5 star restaurant without high cost automated tip fees for no reason . Highly recommended this particular store in general is amazing .

    Nice workers and plenty of space for seating. Good tacos and sides. I would come back again.

    California Fish Grill is a favorite of mine and I love the variety of fish entrees they serve. I had a strange experience on my first visit where the front of house staff couldn't locate my online order but I didn't let that deter me. I enjoy the roasted zucchini and rice with garlic buttered fish proteins. I typically order either Mahi Mahi or salmon. Both are an excellent choice. I've also had the shrimp skewer but prefer to have the sauce on the side. I've found that if it's prepared with the sauce, it's completely drowning in it, and it's no longer really "healthy" to begin with. The restaurant itself is always fairly clean and it's located in a plaza with ample parking. If the online order process is done correctly, there are generally no issues on my end and I highly recommend this location. (10/50--2025)

    Fish restaurant in the new plaza built on Nordhoff across from the toyota dealership and located next to the new apartments. They have the usual fare of grilled fish, fish and chips, tacos, starters (yum to clam chowder) etc. can't go wrong with the classic fish and chips with options for 2 or 3 pieces. They also have specialty fries called dynamite - which is just extra seasoning. You can order via an employee at the counter or input your order on a tablet. Lots of seating and place is clean. Not bad if you needed to eat there.

To be honest this spot came through so many times after a night of too many drinks and needing something to come back to life. Their tacos de burrito are so good and the tortilla is kind of fried, sirven bien doraditos los tacos, so they don't fall apart when you dip them in the consomé (broth).

The food is delicious and very authentic Tijuana-style street tacos done right. I've tried several items from the menu including the torta, quesadillas, tacos, dorados de birria, and carne asada, and everything has been flavorful and satisfying. The birria tacos are definitely a standout. Service is always great and fast, which makes it an easy stop when you're craving good street food. If you're in the area and want authentic Mexican tacos, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

To my surprise, it's definitely worth going in. As you walk in, they have a smoothie/fresh drinks area. On the left side, they have the ordering window. Since being my first time there, I ordered several items. We ended up ordering menudo which was tasty and not fatty. It came with a side plate of spices (oregano, chile de arbol), sliced lemons, chopped onions, and cilantro. The chicken taquitos dorados (a la carte) were flavorful, tasty, and moist. There were also a bit larger than other locations. They were served on a bed of lettuce, half guacamole and half sour cream, and some cheese. Ordered Chilaquiles (verdes - choice of green or red). It came with rice, beans topped with shredded cheese, and 2 eggs (choice of over easy). It's a small place that feels like home away from home cooked meals. Overall, definitely coming back.

You can tell there's pride behind every plate that comes out of the kitchen. Beyond the food, the service is warm and welcoming.

Extensive tequila and mezcal menu, Really attractive, sleek interior. Met my friend for a Tuesday lunch and discovered that all day Tuesday is Happy Hour! And, even better is that a la carte tacos on Tuesday are $3 instead of the normal HH price of $4.50! Aidan was our server-in-training and, while he was mistaken that I could sub mezcal for tequila for the HH, he was lovely. He was attentive when needed and also let us girls catch up! What we ordered and thought: -Chips and salsa brought to the table. Sadly both were mediocre; thankfully, this meant that I did not eat too many chips! -LP Margarita ($9 on HH); balanced and refreshing -Pacifico ($6 on HH) what I would expect -Madre Espadin Mezcal ($12) also what I would expect, though I wish the service were more authentic to CDMX, which is the vibe of the restaurant -Guacamole ($8.25 on HH) Fresh and tasty; again mediocre chips -Rib Eye Taco ($3 for Tuesday HH); had I known it was only 3 bucks, I would have ordered two. The meat was very flavorful and cooked beautifully, not overdone! -Corn off the Cobb Salad ($13.75) add Steak ($8.25) My friend LOVED her salad and also raved about the flavor, quality, and doneness of the steak. Great spot for lunch, as we didn't need a reservation, though from what people say, it gets very busy at night and on the weekends. They have a Sunday Funday that looks good, too!
