Stopped by Fish District after getting my hair done and ordered the salmon bowl to go. 10/10! Since it was my first time there, Andres was super patient with me and took the time to explain the different options and give me recommendations, which I really appreciated. The salmon was cooked perfectly with great flavor, and the kale was fresh and seasoned really well. Everything paired perfectly with the rice, and even as a takeout order, it was still fresh and delicious. Great food and even better customer service. I'll definitely be back! read more

I have visited the FISH DISTRICT several times over the past couple of months. I decided it was time to write a review. Overall, I have really enjoyed everything I have tried: Tacos Baja - good but nothing to rave about. Tacos Coastal - the mango/onion salsa is to die for and these tacos are excellent. Tacos Traditional - good but nothing new or exciting. Ono Burger - Excellent! I love this burger. Fish & Chips - Excellent! Love the batter, caper sauce is very good and I love being able to order 2 or 3 pieces of fish. The chips are nothing special and on a few occasions have been cold and really greasy. Shrimp Ceviche - Is EXCELLENT and a personal favorite. The portion size is pretty small so if you're hungry you might want to grab two orders. Calamari Fritti - EXCELLENT and another favorite of mine. Citrus Kale salad is a great side and the dressing is really good. Batter Fries - Really good if they're fresh and hot. Cole Slaw - It has really good flavor but unfortunately it's room temperature or even warm almost every time I have ordered it. Restaurant is very clean and the service is really great. They have a Fish of the Day which I have yet to order but I definitely want to give it a try. Other diners have ordered it my presence and it looks really good. I am hoping for colder to try their soups. I bet they are really good. read more

Great! I've ordered from here a few times and did pickup tonight. Got two mango-style grilled salmon tacos. Very easy pickup - the guy at the register was very nice, and the food was ready when I arrived. Tacos were substantial and yummy. Loved the mango salsa. I need to remember to order this again! read more

The Fish District is my favorite place to go when I want swordfish; it's so good! I also trued their battered fish and fries - the fish wasn't greasy and the fries were perfectly seasoned! I also love their sauces - my favorites were the Caper and Tarter sauces. They even make them fresh in-house. This place is super cute if you want to eat inside the restaurant or even outside on their patio. read more

I stopped by on a random Thursday and was seriously impressed. The place wasn't too busy, but everything was spotless. My order came out in about five minutes, neatly packed and ready to go. The battered fish was the real standout--crispy on the outside, perfectly fried, and tender, flaky cod on the inside. Exactly what you hope for when you're craving fish and chips. Absolutely delicious. Great service and I liked the clean ambiance. read more

The Fish District is a great spot for fresh, fast-seafood. The menu has a variety of tacos, plates, and poke. The poke is pretty consistent and always fresh! The portions are solid, and the sauces are great. For tacos, the grilled fish or shrimp tacos are always a safe (and flavorful) pick. If you're in the mood for something more filling, go for a grilled plate with salmon or ahi and pair it with a couple of sides. The poke bowls are a great and customizable. Still can't decide?! Try the fish and chips,, a solid choice too. They have salads and wraps too, but I haven't tried these, yet. Overall, fresh seafood, generous portions, and a convenient location, just know it can get busy, and seating is a bit limited (inside & outside). Even though it is often very busy, the customer service is always consistent and the restaurant is clean. If you don't have a lot of time and/or can't stand waiting, order online! read more

Fish District is conveniently located in the heart of Carmel Mountain in the same plaza surrounded by In N Out, Costco, and Home Depot. Parking is plentiful and easy. I was excited to try their catch of the day plate. Plates come with a seafood option and two sides. I ordered the salmon catch of the day along with rice and asparagus. The presentation was on point. Salmon was juicy, and flavorful with nice char flavor from the grill without being overwhelming. The asparagus was executed beautifully, well seasoned and not overcooked. For $17.50 the portion size was a touch small for the price but it did satisfy my craving. Drinks and condiments are self-serve and they bring the food out to you. I would definitely come back for their catch of the day plate. read more

I enjoyed the combo box ($17.50) which came with one piece of deep fried cod, three deep fried shrimp, fries, and three different sauces on the side (caper sauce, house-made sriracha, and cocktail sauce). Everything was crispy and delicious. I would have liked one more piece of cod, and would have given up two shrimps for that! The catch of the day plate is a great deal ($18.50). It's served with two sides and grilled ciabatta bread. We chose the salmon with rice and asparagus. The salmon was cooked perfectly and was quite juicy. One of my friends got the blackened ahi bowl ($15) which comes with blackened seared ahi tuna, rice, lettuce-cabbage mix, and tomato. It was pretty tasty but a smaller portion. Another friend got the poké bowl ($15.50) with salmon, nori, seaweed salad, cucumber, ginger, and sesame seeds. She liked it, but also felt it was a small portion. In terms of ordering, you can order at the counter or order through your phone. My friends ordered through their phone, while we ordered at the counter. They actually got their food first. I like how there is a lot of parking, and that it's easy to get a table inside. This restaurant is a good option when you are craving seafood, and you want to be seated right away. read more

You can tell everything was made to order. Poke bowl was a little too saucy, but still good. Portobello fries, fish and chips with a generous portion of the caper sauce were perfectly fried. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. If you later in the evening there is no battle for parking and Costco is nearby if you want to gamet gas afterwards read more

I placed an online order for pickup for 2 orders of fish and chips. I picked it up about 15 min after placing my order and it was ready to go when I arrived! When I got home, the fries and fried fish were still crispy and thankfully didn't get soggy. I unfortunately forgot to take a picture of my food before I started inhaling it. Next time! I substituted the capers with tartar sauce and they gave me two of the tartar sauces! I picked up some vinegar and some ketchup and pour it over my fish. The fries were well seasoned and they gave me a lot! The fish was crispy and flaky and made a nice crunch sound as I took a bite. Was it the best I've ever had? No but it was well worth it for $15! Not too bad. I'd eat here again. read more

Very good fish & shrimp and chips. Easy to find and a nice, big parking lot with lots of close spaces. Clean restaurant. Very nice staff. This is a good place for lunch or dinner before or after a movie at Angelika Theater. read more

Props to Fish District for serving a quite delicious NE clam chowder. Clam, cream, minimal veg and peppery notes all blended well into a delightful concoction that I happily topped with oyster crackers. I also liked the popcorn shrimp with coleslaw, which is a decent, soft textured, vinegar forward version. The terayaki chicken bowl was a nice respite from seafood, and I appreciated being able to customize the sides instead of being stuck with rice. Would return for the chowder! read more

FISH DISTRICT - (NEW) CHICKEN TERIYAKI bowl - Seafood Near Me - San Diego, California

A bit inconsistent, been here a dozen times and sometimes whatever I get is good, and sometimes it isn't. However, I do quite enjoy the poke tacos. The shells are light and crisp, they go well with the poke. The fish and chips are a banger as well. Sometimes the fish are not so fresh, but then again, it's a hit or a miss. Poke bowls are okay here, however poke tacos are much more satisfying in my opinion. It comes with two choices of sauce that you can drizzle over the fish, which are complete bangers. I've gotten the plates before and I do not think they are good, they're a bit too bland and under seasoned. If it's your first time, fish and chips def wouldn't disappoint. read more

Very delicious fish n chips place. Was at a local appointment and saw this place with pretty great reviews. Was hoping for halibut fish n chips or haddock which they only had cod so I went with that.

FISH DISTRICT - My order - Seafood Near Me - San Diego, California

Our experience was pretty good. Found this place on our way home from San Diego. Great customer service and the food was good. My husband ordered the fish and chips and enjoyed his food but said there was nothing major to rave about. I had the poke bowl and it was also good. I got it with the original sauce and I feel like the sauce was decent. Everything in my bowl was fresh. What we both really enjoyed was the soda machine which had soda that was made with out any high fructose syrup. So we tried some of the sodas and really enjoyed them. read more

I found my new favorite fish & chips spot!! I didn't know about this place until my bf brought me here and I can't believe I haven't had their fish and chips until now. It's tucked away in the corner between the At Home plaza and the plaza with Marshalls. Parking is easily accessible even on the weekend. The restaurant wasn't too busy during the early afternoon and food was served quickly! We ordered the 3 piece fish & chips and the combo that included shrimp & fish. The way the fried seafood is battered is so delicious! The fish & shrimp were crispy, not oily, tender and juicy! I find it difficult to get good fried shrimp these days and fish district's shrimp was not only big but also deveined and not overcooked! The fries are also yummy! Medium thickness and still crispy. The fish & chips came with tartar sauce and the combo came with cocktail sauce (amazing flavor), sriracha mayo (I think), & tartar sauce. They're generous with the sauce & fries portions! Both items were around $17 and left me feeling satisfied. read more

Ok ok I actually wanted to give this place 6 stars! I have been coming here for almost 4 years now after moving from the back from the Bay Area. Hilda and Fernando has been serving us ever since, if I'm not mistaken. I love everything here! The clam chowder, fish and chips and really everything else seems to be such high quality food and high quality and kind service. This place feels like I'm eating at home. Like a family vibe. Whether you it inside or out in their patio, the experience is the same. Sometimes we have our puppy with us. It's so convenient as well since my children loves food from their neighbor businesses. I also wanted to acknowledge their new team member Paige who has made us feel even made our experience that great. Please please experience this place for your selves. My family and I love this place and will continue to be our regular seafood favorite. read more

Absolute my go-to meal spot. Probably the best poke here in Poway. Plus the staff members are extremely friendly. The fishes are fresh and the sauces are tasty. The only issue is sometimes the rice in poke clots and was soggy, hopefully they will fix that in the future. Other than that, I highly recommend this place. read more

Slow service. If you want to wait for your food 15-20 minutes then you're in luck. Not coming here again.

Still the most SOLID poke place I've been to in SD. Had to givem another review There's not as much customization of sauces and whatnot as some other places I've been to but I personally like the traditional or spicy sauce with mine The variation of other items in the menu also makes up for it. The fish burrito, calamari, tacos, mmmm all exquisite And overall the employees are always super chill and the place is super welcoming. read more

FISH DISTRICT - Ahi Poke with spicy sauce + avocado (Couldn't wait. Had to dig in before taking the picture.) - Seafood Near Me - San Diego, California

This is my go-to place for fish&chips! The batter for the fish is so fluffy and light and the fish is so moist and buttery it literally melts in your mouth. Now this was my first time trying the kale Caesar. I'm not a fan of kale but the dressing they used didn't even make it taste like kale. I also got the calamari but I inhaled those before I could take a picture. So happy we have this place so close to my parents home because as soon as I land back in SD from college, I have to come in and satisfy my craving. read more

I was in Carmel Mountain Ranch for an event. I decided to try this place. I've never heard of them before. While all the food was fresh and customer service was excellent. The food was tasteless and bland. No seasoning in sight. The salad was beautiful and dressing was tasteless. I left all but a fork full of salad. Here are some pictures. One star for presentation One star for customer service One star for a nice clean restaurant and ambience read more

Hey Flavor Budz! Loved, loved, loved this eatery! High quality and simple menu. The concept is straightforward, which is a great concept because seafood restaurant experiences can get overwhelming quickly. My husband and I ordered the salmon burger and the six piece shrimp and fries basket. Along with two pineapple ciders. Listen! When that food came out and we took the first bite. We didn't even speak until we were like 3 or 4 bites in because the food was really, really good... lol We were impressed with the presentation of the food and, obviously, the taste because the seafood wasn't overcooked, and it had a freshness too. We didn't have much interaction with staff because there was only one team member working. But the restaurant was really clean and I love the openness of the establishment. We did dine outside because it was really warm. So we decided to eat and chill and enjoy the sun. This was added to our dine in San Diego list. read more

What happened to this place? Came here on a Thursday for dinner. Food was awful. Hot inside the restaurant too. Odd for a seafood establishment. And the homeless in this shopping lot are inescapable. I cannot eat here without being harassed for money. The last time I was here a homeless person cussed out the cashier in front of my 4 year old. Security couldn't find the guy after the incident. If you come here, expect to be asked for money by the homeless. read more

Came here on a Saturday night with a friend of mine and his daughter. She ordered the popcorn shrimp. I can't believe what I saw. They looked extremely small, even without the tails removed - about the size of a nickel. So my friend had to order another. $17 total. And the place was shockingly deserted for a Saturday night at 7PM. 1* read more

I was tired and hungry. So tired. So hungry. You see, I had just spent some time at the most crazy Costco, where I couldn't even get a sample! People kept jumping in front of me line animals! So I couldn't even dull my hunger as I became more and more despondent... it was time to go actually eat. I made my way over to Habit Grill because it's well.. a habit. I've been there before and they make a decent Ahi sandwich. Making my way I peeped this menu and decided I'd try something new! I got the Ahi bowl. It was OK. Also a passable value for the price, especially these days. At about $15 or so plus tip (it's counter service so I only tipped a couple bucks... I'm sick of this tipping culture for counter service stuff... no 20% from me again!) I got a bowl of somewhat flavorless rice, with veggies and a fair amount of sheared tuna. It came with a wasabi cream and I should have noted that because while I like spicy, I hate wasabi flavor. All in all the blacked seared ahi was made the way I liked it. It didn't taste fishy and didn't have fatty piece. I ate about 75% of my bowl and was full, allowing me to share the rest with my hungry loved one. If you have a large appetite then it might just be enough to make you feel like you had a good meal. The seating is nice and the restaurant looks and smells clean. They we've beer and wine but that would have to wait for another time. In all a solid experience. PS the California fish place down the road was pointed out to me after so I might need to do a head to head review! read more

I like this place they have good food overall they have good pricing, however, their poke price is way too expensive for what you get plus they charged me $1 to try a different sauce too. They should not be charging that much.....needs to be adjusted. I paid over $20 for two scoops and it's very basic not let's come on it.... it taste good don't get me wrong, but it's basic and there is much competition around San Diego for poke. For example, right nearby I can get four scoops for $15.95. Need a better price read more

I've eaten poke bowls here many times, but the one I received today was really poor quality. The fish was ice cold and fishy. The rice was cold and dry. It was like the bowl was premade and sitting in the fridge. The service is always fine, but prompting a 20-25% tip for a stand up counter service place where you bus your own table is crazy. The dining room has always been clean and well stocked, with plenty of seating. There is also a nice outdoor patio with shade umbrellas, although it does overlook the parking lot. read more

Ordered for pick up the 2 piece fish and chips. It was an easy process to place my order online through their website. The expected wait time was 15-20 mins and arrived 22 mins later and my order was ready. Overall I found the fish and chips were crispy and tasty. The chips were nicely battered and well seasoned. The fish I requested for it to be extra crispy and well done and it had a nice crunch which is great. Minus 1 star because I felt the fish fillets were a bit thin compared to other places. The tarter sauce was also creamy and well seasoned not completely white like other places. Will have to come back to try other dishes. read more
