    Poke Tuna California Bowl

    Great food friendly service! Healthy and delicious, great deals if you join the mailing list, BOGOs aplenty.

    Baja Fish Tacos

    Just enjoyed the Baja Fish Tacos here; if you're having a cheat day these are the bomb!!! All of the fish is high quality (salmon on "Mediterranean" salad has a great dressing, and the fried fish sandwich are my other two favorites; I also recommend the seared tuna is plentiful and seared perfectly (very little). Crystal, who took my order and delivered my food outside, was so professional and friendly, I had to ask her name and post a review... I observed an older gentlemen speak with her about his food after he was finished, I believe he was used to a different fish with his order; Crystal apologized and let him know that next time he can request the other fish, whatever he wants, it's not a problem, and then she thanked him for letting her know. Management and owner, please take note of this exceptional employee, you have a manager in the making and this kind of customer service is rare to come by these days!

    We walked in at 7 pm and half of the tables had the chairs up and kitchen looked like they were ready to go home, my fish and chips horrible I know what happened, they probably ran out of batter and just made a quick batch for it! Chicken skewers, dry, no lemon oregano, hummus no tahini or olive oil?? And I'm not gonna comment on the girl that was there!!!

    We like the fish tacos, chicken & shrimp Skewers plus the fish sticks. The clam chowder is very good as well.

    Food was ok....burger loaded up with all the trimmings was good but nothing to write home about ...the feta cheese fries were nicely seasoned sprinkled generously with feta cheese...my favorite...the fish taco was fresh with a crispy crunch in every bite ...great texture ..topped with a nice slaw...the poke bowl was swerved with chips ..high quality ahi tuna for the win...great location with back parking for easy access.

    It's supposed to a fish sandwich but there's not much fish

    I used to love this place back when it was called Malibu Fish grill but unfortunately it's gone downhill. I suppose it's telling that there was no one eating there the past few times we went in. The fish sandwich used to truly be the best around and have a nice fat chunk of crisp, lightly battered fish but the sandwich I had this last time was all bread with very little fish. Salads are still fresh but much smaller than before as well. They used to be so big you could barely finish them. The menu selection is good, the staff is friendly, and the ingredients are still consistently good quality so we will give it another try-- hopefully this was just an off night.

    I've been dining here for eight years, and it has never disappointed. There are so many reasons I…read morekeep coming back. First, the food. It's consistently delicious every single time. My personal favorites are the lobster mac 'n' cheese, mussels, fish and chips, and the lobster bisque. Everything is flavorful, fresh, and prepared with care. Second, the bar. The drinks are perfectly balanced--strong enough to enjoy, but never overpowering. There's nothing worse than ordering a cocktail that tastes like juice with zero kick. That definitely doesn't happen here. The El Chapo margarita (along with many others I've tried) will have you feeling warm and fuzzy after the first sip! The location is another huge plus. If you enjoy people-watching, this is the spot. You get a perfect view of all the action, which makes the experience even more fun. Most importantly, the staff. Joe, Nicole, and (I believe his name is El D) El Dorado are fantastic. They're friendly, personable, attentive, and always seem to anticipate what you need before you even ask. They offer great suggestions and are wonderful conversationalists. They truly make you feel welcome, and if they have a moment, they'll happily stop and chat. I also want to give a special shoutout to Joe, the manager. I was organizing an event for my women's group--about 20 guests--and needed a venue that could work within a firm budget. When I called, Joe didn't hesitate to accommodate us. Many other South Bay locations either didn't respond or were outrageously expensive. This was seamless from start to finish. Joe worked with me to select the appetizers and music, ensured we always had water refilled and glasses topped off, and made sure every detail was handled. We had plenty of wine and appetizers, and the front area was reserved just for our group. The event was wonderful, and Joe's kindness and professionalism made it all so easy. Everyone loved Joe! Highly recommend Playa Hermosa--this place truly is a gem.

    I've been coming to Quality Seafood for the past couple of years, usually on Fridays for fish…read moretacos, and I've ordered the same fish taco and shrimp taco combination 40 to 50 times. It has generally been a place I've enjoyed and recommended, which is why this stood out. There's always been some normal inconsistency in portion. Some days the fish is bigger, some days smaller. Same with the shrimp, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. That never bothered me. It's part of a busy seafood counter, and I've never felt the need to say anything. What I got today was different. The fish taco was on the small side and dry, but the shrimp taco was the issue. It was served fried, very dark, and overcooked to the point the shrimp was tough. When I opened it after a few bites, I realized I was mostly eating tortilla and toppings. There were only about three shrimp total, which is noticeably less than what I've consistently received here before. In prior visits, I've also been asked whether I want my tacos grilled or fried, including the shrimp, and I've consistently chosen the lighter, non-fried option. What I received today was not that. I approached the counter politely and simply said the taco wasn't good, pointing out the quality and portion issue. I wasn't trying to make a scene and I'm not someone who returns food, especially over something this small. I was more pointing it out so it didn't keep happening. I was told nothing could be refunded because I had taken a few bites, so I asked to speak with a manager. That's where this went sideways. Instead of listening, the manager immediately dismissed it. She repeatedly told me that what I described was "not possible," insisted they have never prepared shrimp any differently in her 27 years there, and said they only ever serve three shrimp. As someone who has ordered this exact item many times, I was essentially being told that my own experience did not happen. The conversation ended with me being asked to leave. I've worked in and managed restaurants. Mistakes and inconsistencies happen. This was a simple situation that could have been handled in seconds, either by replacing the taco or offering a refund. Instead, it was denied outright and escalated. This wasn't about a $5 taco. It was about how it was handled. Being told that your repeated experience is "not possible" and then being asked to leave is not an acceptable way to handle a reasonable concern.

    This still is our go-to source restaurant for fish…read more It's counter service with indoor and outdoor seating, very casual but full-service style spirit delivering your meal with self-service elements of helping yourself to beverages The prices, portions and quality are the best options for a full and fling meal for under $20 per adult and under $10 for kids meals... healthy food options, fresh food, customizable and cooked to order. The service is friendly and the process of ordering is self-intuitive and easy and the time process is quick knowing it is custom cooked to order for every customer that can be 10-15 mins or so and you can be in and out dining in quickly or take a meal "to-go" quicker. The steak is or was, mediocre. This is a seafood restaurant and specialty. If you come here, I'd say don't do the surf and turf (steak) but opt for more seafood. The shrimp grilled in the shell is lackluster because the shrimp often sticks into the shell and dry out, harder to eat and less delicious, in my opinion. All of the fishes that are grilled are great and the best options.

Food (salmon) (fish and chips) was DELICIOUS I will say besides the overly toasted crab cakes. I'll give it a 3/5 for now, the food saved my ranking.
