The owners/people working here are very nice, and it's a welcoming environment. As they have done from day one they offer a small selection of Thai food as well fish and chips and some soups and appetizers. I generally get a Thai dish, on my most recent visit I got chicken bowl with ginger. It's has a nice flavor, ginger is good, but it would have been better with a little more sauce since the rice absorbed so much. For an appetizer we tried the tempura and a bowl of wonton soup. The appetizer included a few good size shrimp and big chunks of vegetables. The coating definitely was not a light tempura breading, it seems like it was the breading that they probably use for their fish. But it was fine for me, nice amount of salt. The tempura order is actually a good bit of food. The soup was really very nice, three dumplings/wontons included, and the broth had a really good flavor.

Young people need to learn about customer service. If you're not happy with your work, don't work, quit. Don't bring your problems to work. Their fish and shrimps are very good. Fried perfectly and not greasy. I love their Perch and Catfish. I wish they would add flounder to the menu as well. Prices are reasonable and heir sauces are very tasty. I like that they put sliced bread under the fried food to soak up the excess oil. Their Cole slaw is really good and the hush puppies are very flavorful. Their chicken could use some more flavor. Seems a little in the bland side.

Before we ordered they offered us a fried shrimp sample. Big, tasty and the seasoning was amazing! Got the Crack N Juicy special and it all tasted amazing. Very friendly staff and great service. The restaurant is clean. Very small and only 5 tables of 4, so plan ahead or take it to go. Prices are decent for seafood, even off season!

The Cole slaw was delicious, French fries were kind of soggy and hush puppies weren't in my order when I got home. The staff is very friendly and when I contacted them about the missing hush puppies they were very apologetic and offered to make it right. From previous reviews I was expecting larger clams and the cocktail sauce was very watery and not as I have usually been served. Will I go back? Of course I will there is a lot more on their menu to try.

I asked for it to have no blue cheese but it still had blue cheese on it, so I didn't really enjoy it plus it was very dry. The market veggies (zucchini) were good but definitely smothered in fat. My partner's fried fish was excellent. The fries were just okay.

What I love about California Fish Grill is that the food isn't overwhelmingly expensive, and with it being a casual spot, the wait wasn't long either. They also serve chicken, for the folks who are not in the seafood mood. I've been here a couple times and got the chance to try a few menu selections. On this visit, I ordered tacos: one cajun shrimp and one cajun fish. It came with two sides: rosemary zucchini and beans. I really loved my meal. Other menu items I've tried include the lobster roll, the branzino with Brussels sprouts and Mexican corn, and the Mediterranean shrimp bowl. I loved everything, but I'll probably vote for the lobster roll and Mexican corn as my favorites!

I enjoyed the branzino, kale salad, and the Mexican street corn. The two filets were large and flavor was pleasing. I had no complaints about the sides, the food was tasty. I should have stuck with wine. I was not a fan of the strawberry margarita. The drink was very light; I just didn't like the flavor. The place is super clean and the staff is polite. I definitely will make my way back to try their tacos. Definitely a fresh alternative!

The catfish and lake trout were well breaded and generously portioned. I would definitely recommend asking for extra of the white seasoning on your food, while everything was good and fresh there wasn't much salt added. So the seasoning they put on top makes it perfect. I also loved the jumbo shrimp, fries, yams, and broccoli cheddar bites. The mac and cheese was decent. The only item I wouldn't recommend is the greens -- they seemed fresh but lacked flavor. The owner, Ashraf, is very kind, and the restaurant was clean and well organized. They offer some great deals and are even open on Thanksgiving! I definitely recommend checking them out.
