Went there two weeks ago for dinner waiter came over to take drink order and food order . He returned with the two iced teas and hour later I inquired where was the dinner replied that the system changed and order was not placed . We left after that . A week later I went back to have lunch and ordered the salmon , it was loaded with bones I asked the waiter is this normal he replied sometimes you get a bone however this wasn't just a bone or two. I'm done with this place as it's not what it used to be. read more

The fried red snapper is really good. The sand dab is cut up, and I prefer whole piece; however it doesn't take away from the taste. And the filet of sole is excellent. And the wait time for walk-in is only about 15 minutes so it's always hot! read more

Food was nasty , shrimp was soggy and mushy, was told food will be done in 15 mins but was rushed when cooked

Since they have changed business owners. I asked for my fish to be cooked medium and it was hard as rocks. Tried to pick through the softest pieces but it was horrible. I will never give them my business again after spending $80.00 for a family special and 3 pieces of sand dab!! This place has went to the dumps. Poor customer service and they hang up on you to avoid responsibility of refunding or replacing meal read more

Fish is pretty good I'm real picky about catfish but I killed my plate. I ordered over phone and it was ready when I got there.

The best Fish Taco's!! :) We had Cajun Garlic Grilled Mahi-Mahi Tacos and The Fried Tacos. Hot and Fresh. The people working there are so friendly...they truly made an ordinary Tuesday feel very special. Thanks to Renee and Christian! We can't wait to bring friends! read more

The shrimp is so crispy and flavorful and coated perfectly , the fries are always cooked to perfection and the hush puppies are so good , the cheescake is very good as well read more

I ordered over the phone but still had to wait an hour and 30 minutes to get my food. I waited inside the entire time. The owner/manager has a poor quality control system. She answered both phones ignoring the long line of customers. Behind her was a table full of cooked orders. Neither her or the cooks wore gloves despite her touching the phone and handling money and cards. She gave priority to belligerent customers. Yelled at a cook who arrived late. I saw fish sit on the counter un-refrigerated for at least an hour. I had no business trying the fish after all I noticed. The fish was okay but not worth the wait nor the price. Also the letter grade was missing from the window. I've always believed that if there's a long line the food must be great, this place has proved me wrong. read more

Good customer service even better fish always fresh moderately priced desserts available as well. Macaroni and cheese. Could use more cheese. No complaints otherwise read more

We went here a total of 4 times the first 3x was great fish was well seasoned with huge portions, the 4x was absolutely horrible. This time the fish tasted like it was dipped into some kinda chemical and the portions was very small read more

Now that this place is under new management the food is horrible. Won't catch me here ever again. I'll have to find a new fish spot in the area. read more

I was there earlier today. Not to foggy and the wait wasn't bad. I went with the fresh lobster and though it was pricey, it was only pricey because it's lobster. Glad I got it. My girlfriend got the fish and chips. We both were really glad to go. We're happy the place is around for so long. LOVE IT!! read more

Came due to the great reviews, but found it merely meh. Not a lot of flavor in the fish and chips. The swordfish taco was pretty good. Presentation was beautiful, fish wasn't greasy and I did like the tarter sauce, but the taste just wasn't there for me. read more

They changed ownership, it use to be my favorite fish market. The fish was not seasoned right, a bit too salty. the portion is not the same and the tartar sauce was watery ! Not going back. They need to hire the old cook. So disappointed read more

John's Fish Market - 21 dollar dollars and get home to open this and everything is barely even warm. - Seafood Markets Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I pay $70 for the family meal. My food was so salty so let's just say I wasted $70 and ended up cooking.

I waited 45 minutes for my food. And the server did not understand what my order was. And she didn't wanna go back and figure it out because she missed putting my order in and she wanted me to wait another 30 minutes forward and I was not having it, and then they didn't offer me. A refund or anything for this order. The food was undercook and it was poor customer service. read more

Horrible 1 piece of fish cut three times it said 3 piece lunch $13.00 total rip off Fish over cooked they take your money No Refund Total rip off NEW OWNER HORRIBLE read more

I have been eating here for years and was totally disappointed in my food. It had no seasoning and it looked like it was old fish. It was hard and dry. I have given them several chances and will not be returning until they get a new cook and fix whatever issue they are having. I really have to write this but maybe they'll see it and make some changes read more

If you want good and fresh fish, John's is the place to go!! Be prepared to wait awhile since they make each order fresh. The ambiance isn't great at all, but hey, who goes to a fish market in the hood for ambiance?? Lol. The food really is the highlight. Today was my second time trying John's and it was just as good, if not better than the first time I tried it! I had Red Snapper. It was crunchy and juicy, just how a good fish should be. The fries were fries, but the hush puppies were amazing! They had the crunch and hint of spice that I had been craving. My favorite part of a John's Fish Market meal is the lemon wedge they place inside of each order. I think that really makes them unique and stand out from other fish markets. The service isn't 5 star but it will get you that fish fix you may be craving... I will be going back and have placed it on my monthly food calendar. Every 3rd Friday, John's fish Market! read more

Very Disappointed with the quality of food here. We paid $75 to eat here and our food came out on paper plates And plastic utensils $14 for fish bowl that consist of some white rice and some blackened swordfish which was not very good tasted like it was previously frozen a small teeny tiny cup of pico de gallo to throw on the rice and a small little thing of side sauce we paid 4.50 each for 2 cups of chowder that were supposedly 6 ounces but didn't seem like it, served in Styrofoam cups We Each had two bottle beers at eight dollars each but was just so disappointed in how the food taste it was very bland. I could've made a better fish meal at home. I will never come here again do not recommend Service was pretty good however as soon as we signed the credit card slip and left it on the table a minute later the server was over to pick it up right away which Was in poor taste. I would say this meal with a chowder and the two fish bowls were about the quality of a $30 meal if that. read more

Love John's Fish Market and have been coming here for literal decades. Went again recently and had a great meal. Covid cautious with line management and they appear to be following health orders. We ordered the lenten special the first Friday in lent, which was fish, chips, chowder and fries. Great deal. The fried fish was super tasty as always, and the kiddos ate every bite! Definitely a part of our regular rotation. read more

Never disappointed! Great staff and amazing fresh food! If you love seafood you'll find yourself craving their clam chowder fries and fried fish! 200/100 read more

Me and my family have been coming to John's for years but ever since they let the daughter start working here it seems that she's trying to run off people. Today I called to order fish, and she led with " thank you for calling John's fish market we aren't taking EBT at this time". I was paying with cash but it seemed that when she heard the tone of my voice, she assumed that I would be using EBT. Also, since the daughter has been working here, when I would come into the the fish market she looks at the customers funny especially black customers which is funny because this fish market is located in the heart of South L.A., where it's predominantly black and brown people. I will not be returning because of the daughter's actions. Fish was good, but not good enough to be racially profiled or treated bad for it. read more

Best fish in the city I've never been disappointed in over 15 years!!!! Red Snapper, Filet of Sole, catfish filet, Shrimp are always cooked to perfection. read more

I just came back from another visit to the fresh fish counter at John's Fish Market. A guy named Hunter helped me today , and I have to say, it's been a very long time that I've encountered someone so polite and professional!! At first glance, he was your typical curly brown haired surfer boy, but when you started talking to him, you realized that he not only was adorable (and young!) but so kind and efficient. He thanked me for coming in and supporting this local business. I try to go every weekend to pick up fresh sashimi and fish to grill. Never disappointed, always so fresh! Hunter , I hope your parents are reading this. They should be PROUD. read more
