this is my third time here and I walk out of there, pleased every time. I mean, if you don't like something you don't like something it's not because it's bad it could be you don't like their combination of flavors. The catfish to me is dusted with seasonings. I like a little more, but that's my pallet, but this is still really good. I will say this time the catfish fillets were very, very thin! The coleslaw vinegar base ? not my style, doesn't mean it's not good -not my style. the french fries are seasoned shoestrings. / not my style. I love crinkle cut with seasoning, salt / you like an apple. I like an orange it just is what This place is literally around the block from where I live and I just wish I would eat catfish more. I'm trying not to, but I noticed they've got some beautiful grilled fish up there so I may be going back to checking that out as I try to eat low-carb! read more

Fish Only Restaurant - Catfish combo - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Delicious and plentiful food at very reasonable prices. Can't really ask for all that much when you are coming here for value. Fried foods uses corn meal breading for super light super crispy crust. Cole slaw is lightly seasoned dresses with a sweet vinegar barley any mayo. The fried rice that comes with the combo is a simple soy sauce fried rice but was my favorite thing we ate! So much flavor in something so simple. Shrimp in garlic sauce barely has any spice and not nearly enough garlic. Felt more like a chop suey stir fry. House drinks available: home crewed ice tea, lemonade, or Thai ice tea I had the Thai tea today and can confirm it's authentic in fact possibly one of the best Thai tea I've had!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Several tables available but parking can be limited.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great staff, Great service, would recommend read more

I love fried fish, so when I found out about Fish Only, I immediately had to try it out and it certainly did not disappoint. The fish is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, packed with flavor. The rice is nicely seasoned and the Cole slaw was just the perfect side dish. Price was super reasonable and their portions are very generous. Definitely recommend!! read more

Parking is limited in the plaza. Had the trout. Good flavor and goes well with the rice. Delicious!

When you visit a Dodgers game, stop by here and grab you a quick Thai Tea and that bomb ass shrimp fried rice. Get that bite before waiting in traffic up Chavez Ravine. It's affordable and a good value for the family. read more

The food was absolutely amazing! I order their seafood combo, which included breaded tilapia fish, bread shrimp, coleslaw, fried rice, and a lemon wedge. The food was perfectly crispy not too crunchy and not too soft. The food comes with tartar sauce, although I dnt believe it's home made, nor is it mentioned to be. Next time I'll have to ask. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining area is a bit outdated and could use an update, however, that's not the main reason we're here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, I'd rate the food a 5 and the dining area a 2, service was a 5 ( owner, was extremely nice). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good lil hole in the wall (just a saying, not literally).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

First time here. Saw a tik tok of course. It was what I expected. Nothing over the top. Good prices. Crispy fish and shrimp. Fish was a little thin not at all fish n chips style. Fries were good. Portion size was good. Might go back just for fried shrimp and rice. read more

Food was good. 4 somewhat small pieces of fried fish on a bed of rice with cold slaw. Phone order was quick ready within 15 mins. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nothing fancy just tables with seats.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The food was fresh and hot but flavorless Even the french fries were bland. They don't use any kind of seasonings. The service was ok, I dealt with the owner who was a little short in his attitude. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance standard hole in the wall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I gave you three stars because the food was hot. read more

I absolutely love this place. The food is always a hit, and the owner is such a great guy with a cool personality.[[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun to chat with definitely a place to go and get some great food and good atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Salmon is the go to for me. read more

The Shrimp with Hot Garlic Sauce from Fish Only is fire! Shrimp were fresh, perfectly cooked, and the sauce had the right balance of heat and garlic without being overpowering. Packed with flavor and not greasy--definitely one of my go-to orders. Highly recommend if you're into bold, spicy seafood. read more

Fish Only Restaurant - The Shrimp with Hot Garlic Sauce from Fish Only is absolutely delicious. Highly recommended! - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I began going here more than twenty years ago when I was working in the area. The fish and shrimp is very good as well as the rice and coleslaw slaw. After I stopped working in the area, I would sometimes drive more than 15 miles from my home on the weekends just for this food. Now whenever I'm in the area, I make sure to stop by. The prices are very reasonable and the staff friendly and professional. Its located in a small mini mall type location, however, I never have a hard time finding anywhere to a park. I highly recommend this spot. read more

Took my 88 year-old mom with me. We had two different fish plates, including fish with collard greens. Fish was cooked perfectly, not over cooked or greasy. It was delicious. The rice was also delicious. The guy at the counter was cool and polite. My mom loved everything. Come early because they close early. This is my new favorite fish spot in LA. I Didn't take a photo of the food because by the time I remembered, my mom and I had eaten every single morsel. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Don't expect a 5-star, fancy restaurant, only a clean, delicious, to the point establishment![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hence, "Fish Only". read more

Fish Only now has a new menu with new prices. I come here often for lunch and to take dinner home for my family. I've tried most plates and they never disappoint. All plates are made to order and are fresh! read more

I got only the fish. It was pretty good. I got also the chicken but the fish is better. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

been coming here since around 1998. the food remains consistent, now that's impressive! Super tasty rice, Great crunch and taste on the batter. I love that they butterfly the shrimp and remove the little dark line. The fish, no matter which one you decide is always cooked right, I've never had a dry piece. I remember the man with the short hair when we were both kids. My dad used to buy food from him, and now I buy food from his son. The price is right and the portions are generous. Thank you for being so consistent over the years, I truly have great memories of my parents and I coming here, as well as picking up food for my crew back in the day when I used to work for George Rice & Sons up on Soto & Valley. The crew loved this food, and so do I. read more

Fish Only Restaurant - My boy enjoying his first seasoned rice and fried fish (in small bits) - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I still love this place! They are not open for dine in but are take out only as of December 2021. Prices have gone up a bit but that can only be expected with COVID and their unforeseeable closures during that time. I got my usual red snapper plate near the end of December 2021 and it was delicious, their coleslaw is still my favorite coleslaw in the whole world (so far). read more

Fish Only Restaurant - chicken and rice in a styrofoam container - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

It's lent season. No meat Fridays for me. I needed... wanted fish.... and i wanted it to be good. I picked up the tilapia plate, fish sandwich, southern(?) fish combo. I am impressed. I will return... maybe every Friday till Easter, and after Easter. The breaded fish was was better than the battered types that usually are mostly fluff. Simple good flavors. The sides were good as well. Always nice to have non fried options, grilled fish was good too. I will return. read more

Been a customer of this iconic establishment across LA General Hospital aka LAC-USC Medical Center. Can't go wrong picking any of their daily lunch combo from seafood combo, Fish Plus, Shrimp plus or even their shrimp eggroll. They offer good portions of rice and seafood ratio. Just get ready for a good food coma after eating one of their lunch special. read more

Love the fish and shrimp combo! I have been coming here for many years always consistently good. They give so much per order and consistently great. read more

Glad I decided to stop!! Fish was perfect! Passing by saw the sign and had to stop, been wanting some fish for some while now. Got fried fish no sides. Fish was cooked to order, fresh, hot & crispy!! Plenty of fish as well, my order was loaded :) Can't wait to stop by again and try more options, def will be back! Thanks again! read more

The fish was crispy, not greasy or overcooked. It's a good value and affordable. We'll be back.

Fish fillet is decent but the season rice is the fact that I sat down and ate a bowl of rice proves it:

Small location but dont let that fool you. Its Good food at a good price. My go to is usually the Shrimp Fried Rice or the Salmon with Seasoned rice. My friends are fans of the red snapper and the Lobster rolls. Dont forget to try the clam chowder . Not a Fish fan, they also have chicken options available aswell which are also Good. Service is good but call ahead if you dont want to wait as food is is made to order. read more

This has been my favorite salmon place since 2011. It's consistently good and the service is good too.

A lot of options for fish, very straight forward and easy to order service. Fried and grilled which is good variety

Great food service would recommend and good prices as well fast and easy way to order over the phone can't miss it next to the yum yum donuts by the lac u read more

CASH ONLY** The fried rice is really good. The snapper filet was okay. For what it was, the price was right. I will come back when I'm hungry and craving some of that fried rice ! It's right across the street from the hospital so it gets busy with employees at lunch. I would recommend this place as it is good quality food for a decent price. I'll update when I try more items. read more

Finally tried this place. I had a snapper sandwich, grilled and a side of fries. To go. The woman who took my order was helpful and friendly. The fries were fresh and pretty good for thin shoestring. Sandwich roll was very good. The fish was ok. The tartar was pretty bland, could use more pickle relish and herbs. Together, it came to about $18. Not good enough for that price. And why the upcharge for grilled vs. fried? This is common practice but I never understand it. Why is adding batter and frying cheaper than grilling? No way. So you get punished for having it the healthier way. I hear San Marino is closed. Looks like Fish King in Glendale is the only place around still to get a good grilled fish sandwich for a reasonable price. read more

I've been going to Fish Only for over 20 years. The quality of the food here is consistently good, and the bang for your buck at this place is great. They have a lot of different things on the menu, but by far, my favorite is the Shrimp with Hot Garlic Sauce. Like many restaurants, COVID-19 really screwed things up, and they are not open to 8:00 PM any more like they used to be. I wish they would go back to their old hours because there have been many times I wanted to grab dinner here, but they were already closed for the day. read more

Food was tasty , the customer service, and sigmas work here. I like the fried food here it is very tasty. read more

I come here often and for years. The food is great for this little hole in the wall. I love the Sea Food Combo which is breaded shrimp, fish, fried rice, and coleslaw. They give good portion for the price. It's a walk up and order type of restaurant. Parking can be challenging during certain times. But the service and the food was always great. read more

Person who rang me up was really nice and the food was good! Salmon plate was a solid Fillet.

Love this place, they make everything when you order it. The prices are good and so are the portions. But always order the seafood combo, no coleslaw and fries. read more

Hands Down one of the best low-key underrated fish joints on the NE Side of LA. I usually go for their Salmon plate, coleslaw on the side, and that rice... That delicious delicious rice. They all it seasoned rice, but it's fried rice! And it's banginnnnn! This my absolute go to spot when they're open! read more
