    Fish & Chips
    Jenny C.

    Fresh Off the Boat Grill is relatively new in Placentia, with multiple locations including Tustin and Costa Mesa. The staff here are nice. I ordered the fish and chips (to go order) -- 3 pieces served with seasoned fries and coleslaw. The fish was good, but the fries had great seasoning was my favorite. We didn't get tartar sauce which is what I like but instead got malted vinegar. Solid portion size and a good spot if you're craving fish and chips. There is also outdoor dining which is nice on a great day!!! My only complaint....fries should be in a bag not in the box. It got soggy when I got home!! Booo. Otherwise, over all yummy so come here to support local entrepreneur!!!

    Ahi Tuna & Salmon Poke Bowl
    Casey C.

    Came here to catch up with a friend as she had this place bookmarked. I didn't know what to expect but decided to try the poke bowl (half / half) and was amazed. I'm not sure what the yellow/orange sauce was but it was so good. I wouldn't say it's a traditional Hawaiian style poke bowl but the flavors were different in a good way. The sauce almost reminded me of crab roe / uni (i could be so far off but it was savory) but it's was really good with the poke. I felt like they gave a good amount of protein too. Service was fast & plenty of seating when I went. Highly recommend trying this place out!

    Came here on a Saturday night after a recommendation from a friend, and it definitely did not disappoint. I ordered the Baramundi and my wife had the filet mignon kebab. We also shared the shrimp ceviche. Everything came out pretty fast, which was impressive for a busy Saturday evening. You can really taste the freshness in all the dishes, and the salsa bar was exceptional -- lots of great options with bold flavor without being overly heavy or salty. The portions were very generous, so come hungry! Overall, it was a great experience with fresh food, balanced seasoning, and solid service. We'll definitely be coming back.

    I was craving fish and chips and excited to try Fresh Off the Boat Fish Grill given the positive reviews. First impression it's well pointed with both indoor and outdoor seating. Signage and menu easy to read. The staff was welcoming and friendly. I had placed my order over the and my order was ready upon arrival. I got home and the fish was prepared well, still warm, and paired well with the tartar sauce. The fries however were cold and you can tell they had been sitting for a while. Don't get me wrong I'm glad I tried somewhere new, however I think it's important warm food be served warm.

    Food: Good number of options. Mix of Mediterranean and Baja Mexico dishes. We shared the fried cauliflower with tzatziki & pita. He had the chicken & filet mignon kabob. I had 2 filet mignon & shrimp tacos. All dishes were delicious. Service: This was our first time here so we had a lot of questions. The cashier was knowledgeable and friendly. He answered all of our questions and made some recommendations. Ambiance: casual. Order and pay up front. Seat yourself. Indoor and patio seating. Overall a great experience. We will definitely be back.

    I've been to the Tustin location and now I came to see if this one was as good. I came on a Saturday night for take out. the place was busy, always a good sign. servers were too busy to help me with my take out orders that my food was already done sitting there. I got the ceviche. it was very refreshing with pico de Gallo sauce added on top of shrimp and avocado also ordered their Cod Baja bowl. simple dish but tasted delish. the portion was generous so not only was it good, it was a bargain. basmati rice and pinto beans right under grilled cod w garlic sauce (subtle) and pico de Gallo dressing. I'd order again. chicken baja bowl. basically same thing as cod dish except the protein change. the chicken was tender n juicy. usually most places cooked the chicken dry using the mediterranean style, not this place. flavor could be stronger, however. lastly, I got filet mignon entree. u get salad, cooked tomato n onion slices, basmati rice, and steak. the taste was amazing n meat was grilled perfectly, very juicy. parking spaces were plenty. will come again for sure.

    Beef and chicken combo, incredibly well cooked and delicious

    Mexican + Mediterranean sounds like a match made in heaven for me but also very challenging to pull off correctly. I was pleasantly surprised by FOB and loved the food we had here. It's no surprise the owner Moe G. was incredibly kind and they've expanded to 3 locations. It's in a large strip mall in Placentia and we knew it was a good sign when it was pretty crowded at 11:15 on a random weekday. You order at the counter and food is brought to your table. Hummus with Flatbread: Freshly made and a nice slightly chunky consistency, we started with this and could tell we were in for a treat because every single thing on this place was delicious, even the "decorative" small salad. FOB Chicken & Sirloin Entrée: Plated in such an appetizing way and smelled so good. Every single thing on the plate went through rounds and rounds of iteration to get them this high level. Even the rice I could not stop eating. Grilled Fish Entrée: This was the more Mexican style dish and it was just as incredible as the Mediterranean one. When the beans and cabbage are amazing you know everything else is going to be great. I was only trying to eat half and also could not stop eating this.

    Family meal for 4

    We ordered the family meal for 4 it is very tasty and healthy. I feel like if we ordered another meal would've been perfect because I have hungry teenagers with me.

    I like this place. The name of the business is what first caught my attention, esp since I'm asian. This place is spacious. Dining indoor and outdoor patio. Located in a busy plaza by McDs. Parking is crazy during lunch time. Anyway, greeted by a young man and I asked about what's good andnhe told me everything. Ok. It's fish Friday and went for a grilled cod pita wrap/gyro. It's so good. No need for extra sauce on it since it's already seasoned. I also ordered a shrimp ceviche. It was more on the creamy side but I didn't complain. It was yummy. Since place is up the street from my work, I'll galavant over here to get my fresh off the boat meals.

The restaurant itself is beautiful and in a great location, but the food, service, and overall experience were disappointing. I ordered the filet medium rare, and it came out extremely burnt on the outside while still very undercooked and almost bleeding in the center. When I mentioned it, they initially offered to "throw it back on the grill," but since the outside was already burnt, I declined and asked for a fresh steak. The replacement took about 30 minutes, after we had already waited roughly 40 minutes for our original food. We also rarely saw our server throughout the meal, although his assistant was very kind and attentive. The potatoes and asparagus were overcooked, lacked flavor, and overall the sides were underwhelming as well. What surprised me most was still being charged for the steak after it took two attempts and I barely ate it. For a restaurant with such strong reviews and a high price point that comes with it, I expected much better quality and service. I understand many people seem to love this place, but based on my experience, I would be unlikely to return and personally would not recommend it.

I would not order the calamari again; it was super dry and hard. We came around 4:30 on a Sunday and there was a line and the place was busy, but we found a table with no issue.

Wanting to spend some time catching up with a friend after work, we decided to give Seasurf a try. After getting great feedback from some of my Yelp friends, many said that the Happy Hour offerings were amazing. The restaurant has a very open concept with half of it being "inside" but still very open to the outside patio area. This set up was great on the (very) warm summer evening we were there, but I wonder how it plays out during inclement weather? Anyway, orders are placed at the counter and brought to your table as they're ready. The gal working the register was friendly and patient about answering questions. The guys delivering the food and collecting finished plates were all also friendly and engaging. This be our first Happy Hour visit, I thought that because of the reduced prices that the portions would be smaller. Um, I was wrong! Thus, we had way more food than we could finish and ended up taking home a whole order of king taco asada nachos. We did polish off 2 orders of poke nachos, a classic fried fish taco, and a bowl of Hawaiian island poke. All of the nachos had a good ratio of protein to chips and all the "toppings" were super fresh and also balanced to the overall dish. The Hawaiian island poke bowl was delish!! The tuna was marinated in the traditional Hawaiian style and was super flavorful. The overall vibe was casual and laidback. I can see why it's a popular destination for Happy Hour!

The food was good, the staff were nice and it was a pretty chill vibe. Though a bit pricey, it was OK. We use their coupons in the app. In the most recent visit. My fish was burnt for one of the fried plates, and the usual poke bowl we order looked laughable. The manager tried to tell me that this is standard when I asked her nicely why my poke bowl was like this. But I've ordered this bowl multiple times; I know what it supposed to be like. It barely had any tuna in it and there was maybe a splash of the poke sauce. What was most upsetting is that I could see one of the chefs in the back looking over and laughing. A younger white lady that was handling the bowls and the frying; she wasn't on the grill. When we come to a restaurant, we are entrusting our health and wellbeing to these chefs and the cleanliness of the establishment. We spend hard earned money to feed ourselves and our families and it is why you are employed laughing chef! That was kind of the last straw for me. When I saw the chef laugh and smirk, I nicely asked for a refund and took my family somewhere else. The manager proceeded to give me a refund. I don't know if I'll ever return here.

They also had all-day Happy Hour deals on Wednesdays. Loved the decor of this restaurant, just an incredibly cool vibe with elaborate Japanese-Mexican fusion art, neon, and even a huge rainbow color-changing tree in the middle of the dining room. We had calamari, corn ribs, steak tacos, king roll, dragon roll, pork belly bowl, and everything was well-cooked and tasty. The hot sauce they give is hot, fair warning!

We visited on a weekday evening for dinner and found that the restaurant had largely retained the same look and layout from its days as TAPS. The restaurant was nearly empty, with only a couple of other occupied tables during our visit. While the menu offered a variety of options, it looked limited and, more importantly, significantly overpriced. Signature rolls ranged from $24 to $26, and even a simple pork-and-rice dish was priced at $25. We ordered the Chicken Tequila Cream Pasta, the Dragon Roll, and two fish tacos. Unfortunately, this is where the experience took a disappointing turn. The Dragon Roll, despite its premium price, looked very basic, consisting mostly of rice with very little filling. The quality and presentation reminded me of sushi from a grocery store counter. The Chicken Tequila Cream Pasta was essentially chicken Alfredo with red bell peppers, served with a slice of basic buttered toast. The fish tacos were another letdown. For $16, the plate included only two small tacos with no rice, beans, or side dishes, just the tacos themselves. To make the experience even more unpleasant, there were no complimentary appetizers, such as bread or edamame, to enjoy while waiting for the meal. The food overall was underwhelming and did not justify the prices being charged. The one bright spot was the service, which was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Overall, Geisha failed to deliver the quality or value its prices suggest. Save yourself the time and money and visit virtually any other restaurant in downtown Brea instead. You'll thank me later.
