First time here for restaurant week and we were not disappointed. Their tuna appetizer was very good as well as the raw there which were Canadian. As soon as you walk in, you order at the counter and they bring out the food and drinks to you. It was fairly quiet when we went and on Sunday they had happy all day which was a plus. read more

Their "fried bread taco" is literally a fried corn tortilla shell . Okay F off I don't know maybe try to actually do something different

Wife and I dropped in early Sunday. We traded to/fro re: 3 oysters, green chile tuna melt, cup of clam chowder, and a poke bowl. The oysters were the best I have ever had, albeit a bit on the small side. Tuna melt was a 10 out of 10. Delicious tuna/cheese/green chile. Just the right amount of crunch to the toast. Clam chowder was borderline excellent; and had plenty of clams, onions, and potatoes. Wife's poke bowl was excellent; she had the medium and had a modest amount of leftovers. Our foodserver was a young guy who doubled as the cashier; he did a great job all around as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Interior of the Bldg was somewhat basic, but spotless and certainly functional.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Prices were reasonable, given the excellent quality of the seafood. Took a bit of salmon and other items to go. We would definitely be back often, but we live 40 miles to the north and are not in South Scottsdale very often. Great place, though. read more

Overpriced for what it was the seafood was just OK. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It looks more like a cafeteria than a restaurant[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] to go in for two people and pay over $130 without alcohol is a lot of money. We had two entrées and an appetizer I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I've been there several times everything I've had has been amazing!! doesn't matter what you choose. It's going to be delicious. I happen to love the lobster rolls!! read more

Even though we are in the desert, you can still find fresh fish is AZ. Chula Seafood is one of those places. I've stopped in before at this family-owned business and have always enjoyed my meal here. Chula Seafood has a few locations across the Valley. Fresh fish at Chula is shipped directly here from their harpoon fishing boat in Southern California. In addition to serving seafood, Chula is a small market and has merchandise available for purchase like hats and shirts. Chula Seafood was advertising lobster rolls one weekend and I had an immediate craving for one. The customer service I experienced the day I came was very informative and friendly. I'm a big lobster roll fan and they make a really good one here. Really fresh roll with just the right amount of spice. Chula has lots of seafood options on their menu like poke bowls, oysters, soups, and sandwiches. The Confit Tuna Sandwich is one of my favorites. Follow Chula on social media to learn about their Monday dinners nights and other special events. read more

The new Elote Lobster Roll. Devine. Tossed in chipotle mayo, with roasted corn, cilantro, scallion, and drizzled with a lime crema. 10/10. The price point of $32 is not outrageous, but I would have expected a side of something other than basic chips. Their online ordering system was super easy to use, and even text me with a time to expect it to be ready. Came in on a Sunday around 1pm. They had a decent crowd. All indoor seating. You order in a line first and can take it to go or sit down after. will be back to try out other items. read more

Chula Seafood - Elote Loster Roll - Poke Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

The service was really nice and I hate to give this a bad review. The food was just not that good. The green chile tuna melt didn't have much green chile, no melty cheese and the tuna had a few bites of bloodline meat (ick). The clam chowder was thin, it seemed more brothy than a thick chowder. We planned to purchase some seafood as well but it just looked dry and tired in the case. Sorry, not a do-over for me. read more

Ordered a sushi platter last week. The picture below is the advertisement for Chula in Scottsdale on Hayden. The platter I received didn't look the same. The slices were piled on top of each other, and a few did not look fresh. The sides were okay: hot rice, miso, pickled seaweed, kim chee. They need to have a standard and stick to it. I love this place but will stick to the dishes I know taste great. read more

Cool little shop with great high quality selection, even got some sushi grade fish here. Love the poke bowls!

A friend told me about Chula Seafood years ago and I finally made it in. I admit, it wasn't what imagined. It's kind of homey. You order at a small seafood counter--with very tempting offering. I was eyeing the salmon burgers. I got a Hawaiian Poke Bowl with Ahi to go. Unsurprisingly, the tuna was the star of the show. It was super fresh. The sauce was light but tasty. It didn't overpower the fish. I enjoyed the brightness of the pineapple. I did feel like the ratios of fish to rice to veggies was off. I would have liked more rice, cucumbers, and carrots. I also felt like the cucumbers needed some seasoning. Didn't love the macadamia nuts. I don't feel like I eat a lot, but I was low key still hungry after the regular size ($17) . I did try to order online but the system wasn't working--kept saying they were closed and I could pick up tomorrow. Then tried to call in an order but no one picked up. So I was a bit annoyed and completely unsure if they were open by the time I arrived. At least my order came out quickly after I was able to get it placed. read more

Still amazing! The clam chowder is some of the best I've had. Every time we come here it's the best experience and food tastes great. The seafood is super fresh. Today we had the Friday special Tuna Patty Melt, bowl of chowder, and Kyle's candy which is essentially a salmon jerky. All really great. We got 2 beers on happy hour, $2 off each. The staff are always so friendly. It's super cute in the restaurant and they play the best reggae. It's a very chill vibe. Saving up points for a cool chula hat. read more

Yummy yummy yummy. We found a seafood Poke gem in the desert. Seems to have many smiling satisfied regulars.

The fish was fresh and the bowls were so tasty! I got the Palmer with green tea and the limeade. Would totally recommend if you need something refreshing. My tuna was so spicy, I had to get a beer to help wash it down. Not so spicy I couldn't finish, because I did. We liked the Baja Blonde Girl...Easy day drinking beer!! The lady taking our order was very nice and offered to make me the Arnold Palmer with their twist. Green tea and limeade, yea please!! The dining room had fun things to look at, and purchase, if so inclined. read more

Chula Seafood, I'm hooked! A friend raved about Chula's fresh seafood and so we decided to order it for lunch. There are so many delicious options to choose from, but being a noodle gal, I went with a large Thai peanut noodle bowl, $22. It comes with albacore poke, carrots, cucumbers, sweet peppers, celery, kimchi, peanuts, sesame seeds, and of course, (rice) noodles. The Thai peanut noodle bowl was absolutely delicious! It was creamy and had so much flavor and spice. It reminded me a bit like pad thai, and I love pad thai, but with poke and served cold. The large was plenty for me. I was excited to have leftovers to enjoy a few hours later! I wish I lived closeby. I can't wait to try more items! read more

Chula's seafood really delivers fresh of the boat seafood to The Valley! This is our first time here even though we leave close. We ordered the Sashimi platter, Korean bowl with ahi, and clam chowder. The chowder and platter were A+, with emphasis on the platter with salmon, hiramachi, and tuna confit. The mushrooms, greens, and avocado were refreshing complements to the fresh fish. I thought the Korean Bowl was just ok in comparison to the sashimi platter, as both were the same price. The bowl was missing the gochujang, which we had to request later on, abs the greens had some wilted leaves, unfortunately. The ambiance is lacking for the price point, maybe? All in all, A+ for the fresh seafood. We will be back read more

Pretty good. Recommended for lunch as dinner is more quick seating and informal. This is located in a strip mall so you may miss it as the signage is super small. Overall it offers very fresh poke bowls and fish salads as well as clam chowder's and other classic fish ditches. You can also buy fish from their counter. Here You order at the counter and then they pass your food ti the table once it's done. The prices are reasonable and the service is excellent. There's also options for alcohol, including wine and beer if you'd like to amp it up a bit. read more

Chula has the best, and freshest seafood I have been able to find in the valley! The salmon poke was in a sauce that was amazing and flavorful. The grilled cheese with fresh lobster melted in your mouth, I think I could've eaten 5 of them.

This was my first time trying Chula's Seafood and I was not disappointed. I had the Saturday Special, Surf and Turf Burrito, I had French fries added instead of having rice, and they were very accommodating...Man o man was this burrito good! Very nice size, almost big enough to split between two people. I will definitely go back to try something else on the menu. read more

This place is easy to miss if you're not specifically looking for it. A small hole in the wall but a Diamond in the rough! Fresh great quality sustainability sourced seafood. Menu may change depending what they have caught, delivered and is left. They fresh seafood for you to view and pick for them to cook. Very relaxed atmosphere. They also offer beer and wine. They have these oatmeal macadamia cookies they bake in house as well that are good. This is going to be our usual spot for seafood. Definitely worth taking the time to eat here. read more

Not adding Chula Seafood to my favorite restaurant list! Not only are they pricey ($17 for a regular bowl & $22 for an XL bowl), but there was nothing Korean about their Korean Poke bowl! I've never eaten a cotton ball before, but I'm going to go out on a limb & say that this bowl tasted as bland as a cotton ball! The quality of their poke is impressive, but they need to up their game on getting their flavors right. I wish there were more toppings as well. This poke bowl felt naked to me compared to other bowls that I've had elsewhere. Now that I've frequented a few poke places, I recommend going to places where u can choose ur toppings & where they pile on the toppings for u! Hint, hint, Gosan Poke & Roll! read more

Great friendly service and the food is delicious. I had the crab grilled cheese and the watermelon poke salad. Fabulous!

I've been going to this place for several years as it's right across the street from my work. Haven't been here in a while due to working from home this last year or so. Glad to see it is still going strong and the food is still delicious! I decided to try the Whitefish BLT for the first time and really enjoyed it! Very tasty and filling. It might be my new goto here. read more

Chula seafood is one of my favorite restaurants. I live in East Mesa, takes about 25 minutes to drive to chula but it is always worth it. The scallops melt in your mouth, the green chile tuna melt is mouth watering with the chimichurri to dip. I've tried everything on the menu. My absolute favorite is their lobster roll rotation. It might be pricey for some but to me it is worth every penny! Don't forget to order some of Kyle's Kandy to go! read more

I stopped by today at the Scottsdale location. I heard that this place had poke so I thought I'd try it. I've been to a couple poke places before but this place is a little different. They're more of a fish market restaurant, should've known by the name. I ordered the Hawaiian poke bowl in a large size. It comes with carrot, cucumber, edamame, pineapple, seasoned wakame, macadamia nuts, sesame seeds, rice and 2 proteins (I chose salmon and spicy scallops). Ran me about $25 ish. A little bit more than I was used to paying for poke but still got it. Also the toppings are pre determined, as far as I'm aware, so I wasn't able to customize that or any sauce. I did stop by on a busier time of the day, so it did take a min or two to put my order in. Upon presentation my food looked great. But when I did start to eat it I couldn't help but notice a strong salty taste, possibly from soy sauce, maybe from the sesame seeds or wakame? Not sure. Afterwards I did top it off with some sriracha but it still had an underlying taste of salt. Overall in my opinion the food was meh, maybe a little hyped for the poke, given the price. But to be fair they have much more to offer on the menu. The service was ok, but i did visit on a busier time of day. Overall my experience was fine.. read more

Get the lobster roll, butter only! It is extremely good and fresh. The roll is perfect, but the lobster is exquisite.

This place came at the recommendation of one of my dear friends in Scottsdale. He said this was one of his most favorite spots and has some of the best seafood. I was very excited to check it out! Was a bit surprised when pulling into a strip mall... a very unassuming spot... I was pleasantly surprised by our experience. We were warmly greeted and elected to sit outside and enjoy our oysters and our spicy tuna bowls. There isn't table service. You order at front, and they bring it out to you. The tuna was delicious / fresh and was perfectly accompanied by great veggies. You'll be pleasantly surprised on your visit to Chula! read more

I've been to Chula Seafood a couple of times and everything has been delicious. This past visit I got a dozen of raw oysters and the clam chowder and WOW the oysters were some of the freshest I've had in Arizona and the clam chowder was hearty, creamy, and so flavorful. This will be my go to order from now on. They have a variety of canned beer and wine. Happy hour is all day Sundays, and Monday through Saturday from 3pm to 5pm. The south Scottsdale location is an unassuming spot with plenty of parking as it's located in a strip mall. They also sell seafood to go by the pound. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Pro-tip: Lots in fish in the sashimi bowls! Highlights: Very high quality of fish and love the variety in their bowls. I was particularly impressed with the salmon sashimi bowl since you get 8 slices of salmon sashimi and the other ingredients in the bowl are great. The other items were all delicious, just not as stand out. Also got a chocolate cookie with peanut butter chips and while slightly hard, the cookie was still good. I would go back to try other items. Lowlights: A bit pricy compared to other poke places, each of our items were $17. Aside from the sashimi platter, the other dishes didn't seem to have as much fish which made them seem expensive for what you're getting albeit the high quality of fish. read more
