If I had a "Best Bang for your Buck" category, I'll probably file Fish Only under that. I ordered the Red Snapper Filet for lunch and it definitely hits the spot. At $7.35 with tax, it came with two pieces of Red Snapper charbroiled with grill marks on both sides rested under a bed of seasoned rice and cole slaw on the side. The red snapper fillets can be a bit more moist, but it was alright the way it was. I enjoyed it with the tartar sauce that they provided. The seasoned rice was exactly as it sounds - garnished with some chopped green onions. It definitely is more tasty than just eating plain steamed rice, but it probably also contained a good amount of MSG along with it. I enjoyed the cole slaw as it helped to balance everything out since the fish and rice together would have been just a bit too heavy for me. It does take a while for them to prepare the food, so I'll recommend ordering ahead by phone to speed up the process if you're pressed on time. Fish Only - I shall visit you again soon!

Fish Only Restaurant - #3 Red Snapper Filet ($7.35 w/ tax) - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Recent change to the visualization of the menu, has better picture displays. Cute little spot not far from the hospital, has good food at an affordable price (most food is under $10). I usually get the C option or the seafood combo but everything is good. I have been coming here for years since I was a little girl. The parent owners of the place are wonderful and friendly. The son however, can be rude at times even to regulars. read more

See all

I'm not suppose to eat fried foods, so I only come here from time to time. Never ever disappointed. I usually get the fish and shrimp plate. My family likes this place too. read more

Wow! Always great food. Love coming here. Food here is so good, makes you wanna slap you're mama.

I was in the area and wanted a quick bite. I had the seafood combo. Price came out to less than $10. That constitutes a bargain in my book any day. The combo comes with breaded and fried fish filets and shrimp. With tasty tarter sauce, shrimp sauce and coleslaw. The only thing missing was a beer. read more

From the outside it looks like nothing. I've been working next door to it for weeks and never gave it a second look. Then today walking by it during lunch time, I noticed their tables were full of people. So I go inside and order the best lunch I've had in ages. I can't believe this place is so good and cheap and understated. I am a little picky about quality of food and this place is surprisingly high quality! This place is a Hidden JEM. Must check out! I ordered the charbroiled salmon and collards read more

Been coming to this place for 7yrs and it's always good. Never disappoints me. The fried rice is delicious I have never tried any better rice than this. The customer service is good also. I'm always afraid that they might charge me extra when I ask for extra chili but they haven't so I'm glad for that . read more

A little hole in the wall gem. Where else can you get a big plate of fish, shrimp, fried rice and coleslaw for $8.95? Everything was delicious. Phenomenal value. Service was relatively quick. It was a great find. read more

Great fish been going here for a few years but my partner has been coming since he was a kid great family owned business.

This site has the best fish in town. Amazing seafood combo . You can't beat the price

This place is always full packed specially every Friday lots of costumers flocking here. Food are great and service is good. The only problem is parking you need a luck to get open open spot read more

Very disappointing. Fish was too fishy. Breading on fish was flavorless. Cole slaw was just shreadded cabbage, no seasoning. No place to wash my hands before eating. Even lemon, salt and hot sauce did not help. read more

Went here because my difficult husband insists he doesn't eat meat on Friday, so I came here to get him seafood i got him the grilled tuna ,he ate it said it was ok maybe about an hour after he had the worst stomach issues ,place looked dirty but won't come here again read more

My family and I have been coming to this spot for years. I have literally grown to love their food. I always get the same thing everytime which is their seafood combo! The fish come out hot of the kitchen. Their food is not oily! Even their french fries are clean and not dosed in a lot of salt like other french fries. Cooked to perfection. The rice and cole slaw compliment the meal and it fills me up every time! This is a place i alway like to go to because i know i will always clean my plate here and be absolutely satisfied. Not too crowded but you always see people going in and out for lunch and dinner. If you share a love for seafood like i do you will definitely want to become a regular at this place! Sooo goood! read more

Just stop by my favorite fish place in town again. This place is consistently great. Everything was fresh and the pricing is unbelievably affordable read more

We really love fried fish and soul food and wanted very much to like this neighborhood Fish Joint, but it was not to be. The food was lacking both soul and flavor. We ordered Fried Catfish, Fried Shrimp, Collard Greens, Coleslaw and Garlic Bread. With the exception of the garlic bread, everything was tasteless (no seasoning what so ever). The batter was the type you'd expect to find on frozen fish sticks, and the shrimp was overcooked. The greens and slaw were bland. Sad to say the entire meal was a total disappointment and went unfinished. read more

I had high hope for this little place, sadly it's not a great hole in the wall... just a hole in the wall... sad.. The seafood combo was oily but cheap, not a great trade off... If I were to return (doubtful) I'd opt for one of the grilled options and skip the breaded cardboard and shrimp. Be sure to check your bill, they overcharged me and had a take it or leave it attitude. Not great (hell, non-existent) customer service. read more

MAN! So good! I finally tried it for the first time the other day, after years of hearing my other half sing its praises. I got super excited because the fried fish was so good. Man, it reminded me of how my dearly departed granny used to make fried fish when I was a kid. The shrimp was just as groin grabbingly good. Man! I will most definitely be back to this spot. I also enjoyed the fried rice. I usually hate fried rice with a passion, but this one was really good. Not too greasy, just right. Garlic bread was a strange pairing (to me) but it was good. We did the take out thing! read more

I have been meaning to check this place and now I have finally gotten the chance. The place is rather small and functional and has its own type of small eatery charm that I like. Its simple and rough so I was already in a good mood. I got the fish and shrimp combo and oh boy the portions were damn good considering the price. You get a ton of food and it's pretty rare that I don't get the finish my food but I simply couldn't. For deep fried fish and shrimp, I liked the fact that the batter was light and not overly greasy. Me and my girl plan to come back as there are a lot of things that caught my attention on the menu such as the curry and catfish. It's the ultimate budget comfort meal so that gives it a lot of plus by default in my book. read more

I've been coming here since I was younger (15+ years). The fish plus is my usual. Both the fried shrimp and the fried fish is my favorite. Their season rice is delicious. read more

Very mediocre, I think 3 stars is generous. I only ate here because it's across the street from LAC/USC and we were tired of eating at the hospital. Got the #1 rainbow trout which seems to be the most popular. It definitely had a fishy taste and I found a good amount of bones in it. The rice and slaw it came with was pretty mediocre too. The fish that my friend got was pretty over-fried. The price is very inexpensive, about $6-7 per entree, but in my opinion not really worth it. Probably won't be coming back here, but gave three stars because it's a family run place and pretty clean. read more

Service was good and fast, foods were good, small place, affordable price, take out better and cash only.

CASH ONLY before you waste your time reading this. The place is in a plaza next to a gas station. It's like a Mom and Pop operation with Pop taking the food orders. His English was okay but kind of thick accent. At one point he just pointed to the menu because we were asking what came with certain orders because it was hard to understand. Other than that the food is cheap and they have an A+ rating lol I don't see why not. The interior is nice, chairs could be updated but that's my personal opinion read more

I have been coming here since I was a teenager. My dad used to always take me and my mom to eat here. Now that we live in SGV, we usually have it to go and it consistently tastes the same. My dad even mentioned that he remembered when the owners' kids were little and they are the ones now running the place. It is a hole in the wall that serves fried food and it's not JUST fish. I always get the shrimp plus. I did notice in the menu today that it used to be 15 pieces of fried shrimp and now it's down to 13. Dad mentioned it's also a lot smaller shrimp. I will keep coming back as long as it's there! read more

I've been going into this place for a few years now, and I must say I've never been disappointed. The food is hot, fresh, tasty and super reasonable. The owners are always friendly & it's clean. It's a tiny little joint and parking can be hard to find but the food is worth it! read more

Fish Only Restaurant - Spicy shrimp my favorite! - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been a patient at Lac/Usc for almost 6 years now, and I have never try any restaurant around the area until today I was very very hungry and I was looking for something fast and this little restaurant came across the street from the hospital and I saw lots of nurses and hospital staff coming out from Fish only restaurant. I decided to try the food since I live sea food OMG my salmon was so delicious and not expensive at all, the lady taking orders very nice the place is small but nice felt like family owned. For sure I'll be coming back here. read more

This place has been consistently good. Their fish dishes are really good with a side of fried rice and cole slaw. Their customer service is excellent. Will definitely stop by more often. read more

been coming here since i was 5 years old, fish + double rice no coleslaw is the best thing to order, i don't eat seafood EXCEPT this one and that's not an exaggeration. service is amazing, SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS PLEASE, so FREAKING GOOD I CANNOT read more

First of all, Fish Only? C'mon guys, at least put it a little more effort into your restaurant's name. But at least they put in a little effort into their food. Not the best place for seafood, but this place has an excellent food to price ratio. I ordered the red snapper. Came with 2 filets on top of a bed of rice and a side of slaw. The slaw wasn't that great, but the portion of fish and rice was a pretty good deal. Seems like they just throw the slaw in there to make the plate look for complete. Had a side of fries with my order and the fries have a hint of a fishy taste to them, most likely because its fried in the same oil as the fish. Its not a bad thing though. If anything, it adds a nice twist to them. lol Overall, the fish isn't the best quality fish but what you get for the price is definitely a good deal. I'd consider this place again if I'm craving fish and don't want to spend a lot. read more

Great place after appointment at Keck-USC. Had the House speciality...one if them-Shrimp with Hot Garlic Sauce. Very good and veggies too. Unbelievable for $6.95--and 10 calorie Ice tea. Quite a place. read more

Fish only is more then a 5 star place for food! Their menu is simple but the taste is just always fresh and great ! Highly recommend it and never have to wait longer then 10-15 minutes for my food to be ready! read more

Just across General hospital USC fish only is the bomb for about 5 bucks or so... highly recommend the shrimp rolls with seasoned rice The down side cash only... read more

My coworker was picking up lunch here and I decided to put an order in as well. She told me it's pretty tasty so why not, right? I got the fried shrimp and they were pretty damn tasty. I wolfed those babies down with a quickness. The coleslaw was soggy and I didn't really like it. I like a bit of crunch to it, but it didn't have it. Besides that the plate was good, and it was $7-something for a bunch of food so I can't complain. I'd say it's worth it. I'd get food here again! read more

Omg the Best Fish And Shrimp Ever .. and the Fried Rice is Bomb. A friend recommended this place to me while I was at the hospital visiting my son and Said it was Good Boy she Wasn't Lying .. read more

The food here is sooooo yummy!! They have good prices and the staff is so nice. They'll remember you when you come back after a few months. Good prices also. read more

Ive been coming here for a while usually for work food orders. It is best to call ahead so you dont wait too long for your order. It takes awhile to cook not like other places with preheated fish that are done so fast. The Red snapper filets I tried were moist and not over cooked and the shrimp fried rice is always good! They have garlic bread you can order on the side and they use real garlic which I like! I would recommend this place to everyone! I always call ahead of time and they are good with taking orders and speak clear english. Well at least whoever I talk to does. Cash only so bring those dollars. read more

Out standing food is fresh tasty Atmosphere is great the people are wonderful every time I go there I take someone with me and they love it for the first time read more

Had the seafood combo plate. Fish and clam strips. They charged me more than the fish and shrimp seafood combo plate. Which is interesting since a clam strip plate costs less then a shrimp plate. Food wasn't bad, but wasn't really good either. Was rather bland. My biggest dislike about the restaurant was it's "cash only" policy. Come on folks, it's nearly 2020. There are plenty of people who rarely carry cash around. read more

Delicious at a reasonable price. Seems like a family owned restuarant with very good service. Will definitely be back!

Had a long wait at the hospital, so I decided to explore. Found this awesome fish place!!! My dad and I got the salmon fillet and my sister got the shrimp curry. Both dishes were delicious!!! Wish I knew this place when I was going to cal state LA! Healthy, delicious and affordable! THANK YOU FISH ONLY! read more
