We were visiting Scottsdale and found Coconuts on Yelp. I was excited to see the amazing reviews. When we arrived, I realized that this is the same Coconuts Fish Cafe that is in Kihei, Maui, Hawaii. The atmosphere, design, menu, all the same. That was kind of cool because we had visited the Kihei location several times during our travels. The food was OK, the service was OK, but their pricing seemed high to me. I think it compared to the Maui prices. I may be exaggerating on that point, but for a little restaurant that you walk up to the counter, get your own napkins, etc., I don't expect to spend $40 for a dinner for two. I doubt that we'll return, because there are so many other restaurants to try. I'd give them a "meh". I've had better. read more

Aloha, indeed .. I absolutely love this fish cafe ! It is one of three spots in the area Scottsdale road , Shea and one in Chandler. I always get the fish tacos , they are just so amazing. I've also had the grilled fish and it's fantastic if you are wanting a lighter choice . Fish tacos are made with 17 ingredients which include mango salsa that is to die for !!! Hubby loves the ahi poke bowl with pickled cucumbers, ginger, radish , mangoes , ahi , edamame , & red onion over greens & brown rice ..The bowl is light and tasty . I also enjoy this restaurant due to its commitment to sustainability and use of only earth friendly products . Tacos just arrived ! If you haven't been here yet, give it a try! read more

So ono! We went here on a Friday night for dinner and were very pleased. The restaurant is open and airy with great touches to make it feel like Hawaii. We started with the coconut shrimp. It was off the charts good and the sauce is amazing. It was better than any shrimp we had in Hawaii, and we lived there five years! I ordered the Macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi over rice with coleslaw. Normally I'm not a coleslaw person, but this was good. The mahi was a large portion and was delicious--cooked perfectly and so flavorful. My dining companion ordered steak tacos--in a fish taco place. The tacos were huge and he said they were great. This place is worth a visit. I wish we lived close because I would be a regular. read more

I don't see why people give this place. A good rating food is a four service is pretty good. Decor is extremely cheap. I would not recommend this place to a friend. read more

I get the fish tacos every time and they are always great. It's nice to have a different option for a quick lunch besides the usual burger and chicken sandwich. read more

Fish tacos were stuffed with too much filling. No fried fish option. Mangos we're not ripe. If they're not ripe, don't serve them

Amazing, enthusiastic staff. The Mahi grilled with lemon butter is to die for. We also had the coconut shrimp appetizer and the fish tacos...truly amazing! Will definitely be back very soon! Gitcha some! read more

I came here for lunch with three others on Sunday afternoon and I'm a little confused as to why this place has such rave reviews. While it's true that the the portions for the fish tacos are surprisingly large, much of what you get is cole slaw and not actual fish. There are chunks of fish to be sure, but it really didn't feel or taste like I was eating fish; it was so meaty and chunky that it had the consistency of chicken. I was also underwhelmed and disappointed at the soup I ordered. For $10 you get a serviceable but not amazing fish chowder with a decent amount of protein. What really bothered me was the bowl, though. If you look at the photos, it really seems like they're trying to make it seem like you're getting more soup than you actually are. I have nothing but positive things to say about the onion rings, though, so kudos on that. Very tasty. Service was courteous and fine as others have noted, but nothing to write home about. I also wasn't feeling the "Hawaiian" look; it all came across as gimmicky. Decent place for fish tacos if it's what you're craving, but I think there are better options for seafood. read more

We were in Phoenix for a work meeting and of course needed food. We were not expecting to find a seafood establishment around us, but were pleasantly surprised. We ordered the ahi poke and seafood chowder bowl. Both were amazing. The chowder was the perfect consistency. The taro chips were light and not oily. They paired really well with the poke. If you are ever in the area, we definitely recommend giving them a try! read more

Coconut Shrimp for appetizer is nice with the mango sauce. Macadamia nut MahiMahi is a generous portion size with brown rice and coke slaw. The fish tacos are big enough that one would be enough.scrumptious and flavorful with lots of texture. The corn tortilla shells had a nice crunch where they didn't fall apart. Come hungry for some great seafood at a very reasonable price. read more

It's pretty decent for a chain restaurant. Sometimes can be a little oily but nonetheless it is our most frequent fishfry spot.

We have driven by this place 100 times and finally decided to go there. And wow I am so happy we did! The fish tacos were absolutely phenomenal. My girlfriend got the next seafood chowder which was also great this time of year in December! We will be going back prices were super reasonable and it was quick the way you were at the register and the food is brought to you. They also clean up the table which was nice. Staff was friendly and help me decipher a vast vibrant menu. Will be coming back! read more

This place was poppin' at 1pm on a Saturday! Seating was jampacked! Fish tacos: I found it odd that they plated the 2 tacos on two separate plates. Poor servers had to juggle more plates!! No sides but it's ok since you just get 2 tacos piled high with grilled fish, slaw and mango! Deliciousness increased two-fold with the slathering on of the tiger sauce they had available for use by the shoyu. Spicy Ahi Poke: Paired with incredible taro chips! This was a great app to start off the meal. Grilled Fish plate: Hubby's entree...he seemed to enjoy it! I thought it was very random to have a slice of tomato with shredded cheese on top haha. Coconuts is definitely a solid lunch spot! I wouldn't say it was anything too unique or earth-shattering but everything was well-done and enjoyable. read more

I got the blackened mahi mahi. Overall, I Liked it with the mango coconut sauce (it wasn't given though I had to go back and ask for. I wish there was more fish for the price, the fish was slightly over cooked but I know mahi mahi had a thicker texture than other fish. I wish the owners of this shop were Hawaiian bc it feels like cultural appropriation. read more

I have been here a few times and let me tell you. This is as good as it gets in a fast casual environment. I was surprised working in how everything followed forearm leaning up and walking up to order, the hand you a bajar on your order in ready. Hindi apps has best variety of fish from Salman to truth. I will eat more than once when I am visiting and its consistent every time. read more

Absolutely love that coconuts have Phoenix locations. Their Maui was the first one I went to and the ones here taste great as well. Their fish and chips, tarter sauce are great. Favorite is to get the Maui local style with Asian flair. Cole slaw and rice are good to pair with the fish. Fish tacos are tasty but not enough to call a meal, more like an appetizer read more

We were looking for pub style fish and chips, which this is not, but it was delicious and we will definitely go back. The fish is breaded in an Italian bread crumb, not battered. Perfectly cooked. The place was also spotless and the staff are super friendly. At first I thought the cleanliness was just from being new, but then I noticed all of the workers making an effort to clean up as they went through their work and keeping everything spotless. Good variety on the kids menu too if you have a little one that doesn't like seafood. read more

This place is fantastic. Unfortunately we were unable to go to the one while visiting Maui due to COVID restrictions, but having this in our backyard is next best option. Had multiple menu items, everything was as great! read more

We use to love this place but haven't been back since we had fishy tasting fish indicating that it was past its greatness stage.

First time stopping in here and I'm so bummed I haven't sooner. I thought this was a little taco shop, but it's so much more than that. Unassuming decor, but fun little vibe. But when I really loved was the customer service. As a first time visitor, I deferred to the recommendation of the two young ladies at the register who led me to order the Mahi Mahi with South of the Border sauce. They were adamant that it was the best and it definitely didn't disappoint. After dropping the order, the server asked me to come let her know what I thought. And even though this isn't a full service restaurant, she came back and asked me how I liked my food! Even though I was sitting outside on the patio. Great, great service!! And the south of the border sauce had a surprising and delightful bite to it. I now know I can get a healthy, portioned meal here and will absolutely be back!! read more

Maui Fish House - Fish plate! - Seafood Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Love coming here for lunch occasionally with my coworkers. It's definitely a hot spot in North Scottsdale for such because sometimes it's hard to find an open table to sit down. Although I've not ever been to Hawaii, it definitely has the tropical vibes down. My first time coming, a coworker raved about the fish tacos.... so that's what I went with. The cashier let me know that the fish comes in daily from Hawaii so what you eat was swimming in the ocean the day or so before. And you can taste it, it's not gummy/funky-tasting fish! Two tacos + shared coconut shrimp are a tasty and light lunch. Definitely suggest checking in on yelp to get the discount on the coconut shrimp! The mango slaw is delicious and could use a little more mayo. Totally worth the $$ for what you get. read more

Brand new restaurant very clean, pleasant decor, surfing movies are playing on the screen throughout the restaurant. Their menus is extensive I got a Poké bowl with the original sauce and it was phenomenal. Really really good flavors. Good mix of everything in it poke, edamame, ginger, cucumbers, lettuce, and rice, all very good fresh flavors with a nice presentation. read more

Food is fairly priced and consistently very good, and the staff are professional, and well trained. There are many different selections on the menu, making it a good restaurant for families. read more

Delicious and fresh tasting food; healthy menu options; very friendly staff and service

Again, rarely do reviews outside of the So-cal area but was in town for the weekend and felt compelled to support this family owned restaurant. Their coconut shrimp, ahi poke, and seafood pasta were delicious. The family and I enjoyed the service and food so much that we ate there twice over the long weekend. It did help that Coconut's was adjacent to the hotel we stayed at. Locals and out of town visitors you won't leave Coconut's disappointed. read more

Love this place - the fish is fresh, lots of options. Tacos are my favorite. So glad they're in a location that has easy parking now.

Casual place with killer poke bowls! Cannot wait to go back and try the fish tacos and fish and chips.

Loved this place when it was on Bell. Today was a nice sunny day so dining outside was a perfect idea! Major fail since all you hear is barking dogs at the doggy daycare next door. Nonstop. The entire meal. Not even the loud music can drown them out. We felt like we were screaming at each other. Whoever signed the lease on this location should be fired. The mahi-mahi fish tacos took a major size decline the last couple of years & now have very little mango. Will try the other location for outdoor dining next time. Or not. ‍ read more

So good!! Stopped by for a quick lunch while running an errand in the area and was beyond impressed. I ordered the fish tacos, which are made with regular sized corn tortillas and come with a generous serving of fish, plus the flavor leaves you with no complaints! read more

Great fish tacos with a Hawaiian twist. We didn't try the poke bowl but it looked good, I think we'll try that next time.

I wish we could say something nice about this restaurant but I was deeply disappointed. We came in about a half before closing and the staff was sweeping up and stacking chairs around this which I found to be unsanitary while we were eating. We complained about this to the manager who could hardly care less. At first he offered us a $10.00 gift card for our inconvenience and then reneged on it. I used to like the food and service but I think I'll go elsewhere in the future. read more

Great food and friendly staff. I got a shrimp basket and the wife had a polo bowl. Bother we're excellent. I like the newer location off Mayo and will return. read more

I've also reviewed the original Coconuts in Maui and this location is equally as good! We are repeat customers and have tried it all. Favorites include the Coconut Shrimp appetizer, Ahi Poke appetizer (personally could eat this everywhere), Mahi-Mahi Local Style, and the fish tacos any which way! It's a fast-casual that serves alcohol and has a great selection of craft beers. Highly recommend this place as a go-to for a quick lunch, to go movie night, or dinner out. I promise you will not be disappointed!!!! read more

Nothing "FISHY" about Coconut's!! I was impressed with so much about this little cafe! The decor, cleanliness, service, prices,and the QUALITY of food! Nothing's was compromised here! The portions are bigger than most fish houses, and the flavor was fresh, clean, and amazing! Let's start with the coconut shrimp appetizer! Absolutely delicious, fried perfectly golden brown, with crunchy coconut coating and juicy sweet shrimp tucked inside, paired perfectly with Thai chili pineapple dipping sauce! It was heavenly! Their Zagat prized fish taco did not disappoint! You get two tacos with towering portions of fish, house-made coleslaw, and fresh mango salsa! Hubby's fish and chips were envy worthy... I found myself picking up a few of his chips, and breaking off a piece of his flaky crispy mahi-mahi! A M A Z I N G! The cup of chowder was packed full of fresh clam flavor, clams, potatoes! It was delicious too! What caught my eye was the guy at the table next to us, twirling his steaming pasta, full of seafood, and cream sauce! And a huge piece of garlic bread, sitting way too long on his plate!!! I wanted to help him out, but I thought about my manners, my mama taught me! I'm excited to go back,not only try that pasta, but many other menu items that had me salivating! This is a perfect casual cafe, that will have you feeling that laid back Hawaiian feel, sip on Kona beer and hang loose! But DON'T forget to check in with yelp, to receive 25% off that amazing coconut shrimp!! Thanks Coconut's for loving us YELPERS!! I love you right back! read more

Coconuts is one of my favorite places to eat. The food is fresh and healthy. What's even better is the service. What a great crew! Everyone is smiley, friendly, and helpful. Numerous staff members checked on us. I really love the new location and I am even more impressed with the great team they have. Oh yeah .. best fish tacos ever !!! read more

I We love poke so we decided to try this spot and it was awesome!! Everything is fresh . Glad we decided to give this place a try. Definitely a great dining out experience!! read more

Who would have thought of great Hawaiian vibe in Scottsdale. Coconuts provides that and much more. The menu is a cornucopia of fish and seafood served in a very appealing way. The food is delicious and seated at tables in the shape of surfboards one can enjoy island food while perhaps imagining being in Hawaii. The place is run super efficiently and the staff is cheerful and helpful. Today I had the Poke Bowl and it was perfect. Lots of tuna sitting on a bed of greens and rice accompanied by appropriate condiments. The grandkids loved their chicken and fries. This is fast becoming a favorite of mine. read more

The macadamia nut mahi mahi is amazing! In fact everything I've had there is amazing. From the poki to the seafood pasta. And the taro chips are the best I've ever had. I've been coming here for many years now and they never disappoint! read more

You wouldn't know it by the outside, but this is a treasure for Scottsdale. It's hid in the shopping center and I never knew it was there and I lived here 30 years. I had the shrimp and chips and it was wonderful and very tasty! I put the vinegar on the chips and ate the shrimp grilled, yummy. It was very clean and as soon as the customer would leave they would have the table cleaned and sanitized within minutes. I'll be back! read more

New location, opposite Bowlero, easy to find. Same taste and quality as old store. Staff happy and helpful. Had the steak tacos and coconut shrimp appetizer. Wife had shrimp tacos. All thumbs up. A delicious, unique casual restaurant. read more
