Ashley was great and very nice the food is amazing,thank you I will definitely come back

Super clean restaurant accompanied by a wonderful and kind staff! I wish I could remember the name of the woman who took my family's order - but I will say that I really appreciated her patience. My parents are older and occasionally take a little too long to decide what they want. Her knowledge of the menu paired with her guidance aided in an enjoyable dining experience. She even checked in on our table mid-meal to clear out a couple of empty trays and make sure we were satisfied with the taste of our food. We each ordered a different fish. My dad got the Barramundi, my got the Rockfish, and I had the Atlantic Salmon. Barramundi was flavorful; the Rockfish could have used a little more salt - but it flaked apart beautifully. My salmon was cooked nice and the garlic butter paired really well with my choice of sides (corn + fries). By the time I left, a much larger party was placing their orders and the woman who took our order was manning the register alone. Whoever was working yesterday (6/8/26 - around ~3:30 PM should get a raise) read more

I don't usually write reviews but was very disappointed when I ordered the cajun salmon tacos and I put on my order: no roasted corn and they end up giving corn. -2 stars for me Please check the food before it goes out. But I needed a togo box and when I went to the front, the manager read my mind and handed me a togo box. That was elite. +1 star for me read more

My BF has been asking to try CFG so we did tonight. He ordered calamari, lobster roll, fish and chips, and poke nachos for me. Let's start with the good. We did like the fish and chips. The pieces were big and the fish was flakey. The calamari was pretty good. Okay, now for the not so good. The expensive lobster roll was really small, half the lobster of other places, and lacked flavor. I wanted the poke with salad but their app didn't allow me to order it so I had to go with the poke nacho. The poke nachos was not so good as well. The portion was big but the house sauce was too sweet and made me not want to eat much of it. I wouldn't mind coming back for the fish and chips but that's about it. read more

What's up: Wanted to grab something with fish for dinner. Last time we enjoyed the seafood at California Fish Grill, so we decided to go and get a dish there. Parking: Plenty of parking available. Located in Hastings Ranch Plaza, parking is shared among the nearby businesses. We didn't have any issues finding a spot in the evening. Environment: We had placed our order ahead of time using Uber Eats. When we arrived, we went up to the pick up area at the counter. A short wait later and we received our order. What was ordered: - Salmon and Swai Combo (yummy; we also got it with fries) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. The meals at California Fish Grill have been consistently good. This time was the same and pick up was easy. Credit cards are accepted. read more

I went to California Fish Grill with my best friend, and let me just say we made excellent choice for dinner. First of all, 100% sustainable seafood? Love that for us. Saving the planet while eating good is the kind of multitasking I support. We dined in and ordered the lobster roll plate which came with two buttery, tender lobster-filled rolls and fries (because balance). The lobster was so fresh and flavorful, I genuinely paused mid-bite just to process how good it was. And the fire-roasted street corn? Delicious! Not your average street corn. This was packed with flavor. 10/10 would come back! Also, a ton of parking! read more

Came here for the Toohoodtogo deal. It was definitely NOT worth the $5 spent to get the meal "worth" $15, and the gas to get there. All we got were the cheapest sides consisting of a container of white pilaf rice that wasn't great and 2 containers of beans. LAME! For $5 I could've gotten tacos at a taco truck that was better than the crap given to me. Totally disappointed in the establishment. Def not coming back here even for a regular meal. Unreal! If it tasted great, it would've been a different story. But it was mediocre at best. read more

I love the food at all the CFGs. This one is special, though. The staff here are extra friendly, going out of their way to help customers one way or another. Very hard working and conscientious. Tonight Jesse went to everyone on the patio, making sure if they needed any extra sauces or napkins, they got them, then bussed the tables, making it more pleasant to sit out in the cool Pasadena June evening air. read more

California Fish Grill - Patio. Pleasant place to linger awhile. - Seafood Near Me - Pasadena, California

This place is actually pretty good. I've never gotten anything bad at this place. The fish always seems fresh and actually all the ingredients are tasty. The bowls are my favorite to get. Recently just got the lobster nachos. It's a big order enough for at least 2-3 people to share. They were pretty good, the lobster seemed fresh and the toppings were plentiful. I of course had to compare it to the nachos at the lamplight lounge at Disneyland ha ha. read more

I went in the other day and was immediately greeted by Kimberly. She gave me lots of amazing recommendations and as a first timer her suggestions were great. Kimberly was extremely professional and made me feel right at home. The food was super good I will definitely be returning. To the staff/management Kimberly is a great person please give her a raise! read more

Fantastic spot for grilled fish! I went with the Swai fish/Salmon fish combo plate and I chose half cajun/half garlic butter sauces on top of my fish. The fish came on the bed of rice and I added coconut shrimp and cesar salad as my sides. The fish was incredibly delicious, tender and juicy and the cajun and garlic sauces on top added great flavors to the fish. The coconut shrimp had great flavor to it and was crispy on the outside and perfectly tender on the inside. The cesar salad was okay. Overall, a great combo plate and definitely worth a try! The spot itself has multiple tables and a patio for dining in. You order through an electronic device at the register, but I did have a nice lady come up to me and advise me on some bestselling items. All in all, a very satisfactory experience with good service and great, generous-portioned food! read more

Employees are always friendly and have outstanding customer service. Good is always ready when orders online wait time is minimal.

I love the fried fish tacos from here--the fish is always huge and the batter is always perfect. A combo order for about $13 (including drinks and sides) is a price you can't beat, especially for seafood. My family got fish platters which they thoroughly enjoyed. Portions were huge and there were leftovers. This is a fast, casual restaurant where you can order in the front and seat yourself. Perfect for quick lunch/dinner. The employees were super sweet and kept checking in on us if we needed anything. We will definitely continue to be loyal customers! read more

Came to this place with some coworker to have some fast food food that are seafood related, and I got to say that they have definitely a wide variety of food and also have different type of soda machine than a regular fasting chain. The only car I can think of at this place is that their self service desk is a bit long and they do not really have a cashier on site. However they do have staff on the side that are helping with the self service option. They are not that many seats in the place so I would recommend coming here early. If you do plan on coming during new hour as a lot of people who work around the area come here for lunch. There are parking shared with other stores in the plaza, and there is a bathroom in this location. Quick convenient eat will come back again read more

I had an unpleasant experience at the fish grill today. I was not greeted when I walked in the restaurant, I went to the register and waited for about 3 minutes Julian a server saw me waiting to order and he made me wait. He finished passing out all his to go orders, new people came through the door and he greeted them and asked if they need help with a to go order. I then spoke up and said I've been waiting to order and he said hold on for me to wait. Once the new customers said they were there to order he then took my order. He was extremely smug sarcastic and cynical as he took my order. A real smart aleck. Told me what a good name he had and he jumped up and down. I'm not sure if he needs attention or there's something seriously wrong. Because of Julian's lack of courtesy, customer service and immaturity I will not be dining with this establishment anymore. read more

I used to come to California Fish Grill at least twice a week if not more when I lived and worked closer to the shop in the past. It feels so home cooked, clean and healthy for a fast casual place. It just does not disappoint. After a long time I got some take out from there and it is just as good, if not better than I remember. My previous order was usually salmon on rice with zucchini and rosemary. This time I mixed it up and got the grilled branzino over rice with tomato and feta on the side. The fish is fileted and cooked so well. The outer edges and bottom are slightly crispy but the middle is juicy. I am not a huge rice person but at this place I always get rice. It is fluffy, light and really soaks up all the seasonings. It was a hot day so I opted for the cool temperature tomatoes and feta. The tomatoes were great quality and there was a lot of feta, all tossed in a light dressing. There was a large amount of herbs, which tasted like a mix of parsley and cilantro. There are great side sauces and salsas. I got garlic butter, flavored olive oil, lemon slices and tomatillo salsa. The salsa is perfect and adds a touch of heat if you like that - as good as anything I had at Mexican restaurants. They were packing the order as I walked up to the counter. It was made to order, piping hot. The service was so friendly and nice. It made me smile. read more

I've been coming to this location for 5 years and it's my favorite location due to the ambiance,food, and mostly importantly the staff. We've have come to dinner on a Friday night during the height of dinner service. The staff is always welcoming and ready to help get your order in. Tonight we visited also on a friday nighy but also during lent. For those that are not religious most catholic avoid meat and consume fish on fridays. Tonight the satf had a line also most our the door. Took maybe 10 min to get to the kiosk (not bad if you ask me) I could see the staff hauling to get orders out quickly and efficiently. We sat down soon after our order was ready in less than 15 mins. My favorite since they introduced it. ...the poke bowl with extra sauce and a side of clam chowder. I will always recommend this location to my friends....the vibe is chill especially on a cool california night under the star read more
