Price of food, taste of food we paid 18 to $20 for a very crusty fish with little flavor. I took my grandson there for his birthday and it was a real disappointment read more

We've been back many times and continue to enjoy the food. And then one day the place was gone!!! The entire plaza was gone and there's new construction there. We searched and found the new location on Mayo Blvd. and made our way over there. The new location offers the same delicious food and great service. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The decor is the same as the previous location. We were very happy that we found them. read more

Food was good, hot and tasty. The mixed review comes from the fact that I went there to eat WITH my husband and his food came out first. I watched him eat and even finish his meal before mine even came to the table (after inquiring about it several times). Now, I know that food is better hot, and that's why I told my husband to go ahead and eat. It's better than having his food sit under a warmer while mine is still cooking. But we came in to eat together. I noticed this at other tables as well. In my opinion, the kitchen needs to prioritize food by ticket. read more

I don't get the hype for this place. I first found Coconuts by accident. Then I saw on Yelp how great this place is. So after a couple months I finally pulled the trigger to try it. And it was a huge let down. The only thing Coconuts had going for it was their customer service, which was great. The first thing I noticed when walking in to order was how hot the inside was. 115 degrees outside and, according to the thermostat inside Coconuts, 87 degrees inside. Other than the temperature the restaurant is nicely decorated. We ordered food and it came out pretty quick which is always nice. We ordered: -fish tacos which were pretty dry and bland -kids grilled chicken -coconut shrimp(the best thing we ordered by far) -the fish and chips which were just okay. Among the mediocre food was a giant hair baked into the fish and chips. Now I understand things happen, but Coconuts fails at acknowledging their mistakes. No apologizing for the disgusting mess up, they just offered to replace the food. Also, the fish and chips totally killed my stomach the following day read more

This place was quite costly, I didn't take pictures, but we got 2 appetizers and a bowl of soup. The appetizers were 9.99 for 6 fried shrimp, and same for coconut shrimp. We did really enjoy the clam chowder (I believe that was the name). I didn't think I would like it, but I highly enjoyed it. What caught my eye to being pricey was their salad, the plain Caesar salad and to add chicken was +$5.00 just to add chicken. The place was kinda neat, surf board tables, and the workers there are always making sure everyone's tables are clean. They come take your trash for you. Things like that. It wasn't bad but I wasn't blown away either. We do recommend others to try it and we would eat here again. I changed my review from a 4 star to a 3 star because the owner wanted to argue with my personal opinion, though it was mostly positive read more

What great ambience! While this isn't what I would consider "traditional" Hawaiian fare, I was very impressed! I ordered fish tacos, someone else ordered the poke bowl, someone ordered the fried fish and chips, and we had the calamari appetizer. Let's start with the calamari: they don't get the tentacles, they get the meat and it is SO good! The fish tacos? Also SO good! I could have eaten just one and been happy. The mango salsa is a great complement to the taco. And the poke bowl? Holy poke! I wasn't a fan of poke when I lived in Hawaii, but this bowl is beyond! The flavor of the poke is on point, and the bowl itself is very fresh -definitely recommend! The food is great, and the staff is great. I would definitely go here again! read more

Food was just ok and it was expensive. I had the fish and chips, and tried the fish tacos. Not bad but I have had better for sure and at a much better price. read more

What a fun find! Great staff and service. We loved the food! Coconut shrimp, fish tacos....wow!

UPDATE : Kim, we do not drink alcohol and the receipt attached to this review reflects that. Sounds like you have our party of 3 mixed up with another disappointed party! ~~~~ I was initially excited to finally eat here. Love the decor and thought I might find some good Hawaiian food options and coconut desserts. Nope Food -- was OK. Ordered the fish & chips. fish was pretty good but fries were skinny and lukewarm Staff / order taker was not friendly. She did not greet new customers with a SMILE or with any excitement. NOTE TO STAFF -- How about making a welcoming statement "welcome to Coconut Fish Cafe, have you been here before?" If customer seems undecided, ASK the question "Can I recommend anything for you?" If you don't like socializing with people FIND ANOTHER JOB! NOTE TO THE OWNER-- Be careful who you put on the front desk. They represent your company! So what happened? This same person who took the order was later extremely rude when delivering the food. we chose to sit outside and in a SHADED section of the patio. When food was ready, the same staff person calls out "number #3" and we raised our hand. With a loud voice she says, you cannot sit there thats not our patio!" My response, was equally rude "We're not moving! Other people from the Vietnamese restaurant were sitting in the Coconut cafe section!" The audacity and rudeness was shocking. Who trained her!?! Happy to share the name of the staff member in a private message to save her the embarrassment. I called the manager and requested my $10 tip / gratuity be refunded which she returned. However she didn't even apologize for the staff member's rudeness and lack of customer service skills! Let this be a lesson to her! You don't treat customers like that. And don't worry about where people sit down to eat when BOTH your company and the other company DO NOT HAVE A SIGN properly marking where people should sit in the patio. Geez ridiculous. We won't be back! read more

Saw this on Yelp and they have a coupon for 25% off a coconut shrimp appetizer. Since I like Hawaiian food I wanted to try it. Cafe style with patio seating. And a cute outdoor seating area with fake grass and flowers in baskets. The tables along the walls were made to look like surfboards set upside down. TV screens played surfers catching big waves. The server was friendly and bubbly. I selected a mahi plate with veggies, the coconut shrimp appetizer, ahi poke appetizer and chicken pasta. He chose the Alfredo cream sauce for his pasta. The ahi poke came with house made taro chips. How was the food? Points taken off for the mahi plate as they served it with brown rice and veggies instead of Mac salad and white rice. Mahi was dry. His pasta was average. It came with garlic bread. The coconut shrimp was good. Served with sweet chili sauce. Ahi poke wasn't the best. It was ok. Made me yearn for the poke served at the L&L in Aurora. But the serving was large which was nice. I did like eating the poke with the taro chips they were served with. The contrast in flavors and the chips balanced out the saltiness of the seasoning. So while it wasn't great it was a nice reminder of Hawaii. Parking available but it can get busy. They are also moving in March 2022 to the Scottsdale 101 shopping center on E. Mayo Blvd. The food I'd rate 3 but the service pushes my rating to 4. read more

Don't understand the hype for this place. I tried one of their more popular items, fish tacos and felt underwhelmed. The portion size was big, almost too big and not flavorful. The staff was cordial and friendly but I don't think the food is anything to rave about. read more

100% obsessed with this place! I have seen it on Yelp for years and since it is so far from home, never made it in. But when we were hungry + about to pass it the other day, I had to jump at the chance! It has cute Hawaiian vibes, super friendly employees, and a quick counter service to order. Then, they give you a number and bring your your meal. We utilized the Yelp check in offer (25% off coconut shrimp) and you guys, this is a MUST! They were amazing and I loved the dipping sauce. I got 2 steak tacos for my meal and these are not your average tacos - they're HUGE!!! SO filling! And absolutely incredible. I loved all of the toppings, especially the mango salsa and slaw. My husband got the Mahi Mahi plate and thought he died and went to heaven. The fish was so fresh. I'm going to find a reason to make it up here more often because sheesh, i'm still dreaming about the coconut shrimp and tacos! DROOL! read more

We are Coconut's fans based on their Maui location. When visiting Phoenix, we figured we needed to try their mainland US outpost, and it did not disappoint. This is quality food in a casual, quick service atmosphere. The fish sandwiches are tasty and fresh. The onion rings are very good. Give those a try! read more

Their salad is tasty. I also tried the fish tacos which were great with their mango salsa. There is good seating here for groups and great draft beers. Looking forward to come back. read more

I've been coming to my favorite restaurant for years & can't wait to come back!!! They never miss!!! The flavor of the Coconut Shrimp & Chips (Fries) is.... I'm speechless!!! I'd argue you're not going to find better coconut shrimp in the whole world. I'm always asked where's the best place to get my favorite food - french fries - and the answer is here. The seasoning they put on them... I can never get enough (& the portions are large)! The service is impeccable! The staff are always so sweet & attentive!!! Between the music and the decorations (turtle mural & beach painted floor) you can forget you're in AZ for a meal! Highly recommend if you enjoy seafood! read more

Wanted to try this place for a while and finally did since we are stuck at home during quarantine. Ordered take out and got the coconut shrimp, macadamia crusted mahi mahi, and the local style. Let me start off by saying the coconut shrimps were the star of the show. They were crispy, cooked to perfection and flavorful. I would go back just for those. The other dishes were good. Neither really blew my mind like the shrimp, but then again we ordered it as take out. I would definitely go back when they have sit down service again. Everything was FRESH. Nothing was fishy, or gross. I personally like very bold flavors, which can be hard to achieve on delicate fish. Would for sure go back though. I believe we paid around 45$ for all three which was kind of unexpected. A little more than we thought, but not awful. read more

First time in Phoenix looking for some good food around the area. I love fish and decided to take my family here for lunch. My kids love their fish and chips and I love my Cajun Mahi rice bowl. Will definitely stop by if we visit Phoenix again read more

This is the Best fish taco you will find outside of Maui! We 1st eat at Coconut's while visiting Maui and were so excited to know this location was a franchise of the very same brand. When you order the fist taco's you get 2 tacos for the $$. If you want something little less messy, you can order a bowl which is the same great taste on bed of rice. Don't forget to order the coconut shrimp -- they are a great appetizer to start your meal with. read more

This is my tropical getaway (while in Arizona)! My go-to item ALWAYS is the coconut shrimp!!! The food is prepared fresh and this time around I had the coconut shrimp with Fries (just ask for it as it's not on the menu like that). We also indulge with the Fish Tacos. 2 tacos come in an order and they aren't just 2 taco's on a plate, they are 2 tacos or 2 separate plates. The fish is a mix of Mahi & I think Ono, but not 100% sure. It has a mango salsa that is really good, but on my last visit, it seemed like way too much cabbage was on my tacos making it a bit hard really enjoy without having to use a fork & knife. The beer that is offered helps to solidify the experience... just need the sound of the ocean water playing over the speakers!! Similar to what many shared, the prices seem to go up every visit so it's not a weekly trip for us. Still my solid go-to... for that Hawaiin feel! read more

I'm not sure what all changed from the previous location but the new one just isn't the same. The vibe is off, less alive than it used to be and the super friendly and stable workers are all gone, replaced with what seems to be a rotating staff that meets the minimums but no real delighters. As for the food, it has been a little hit and miss too. No idea what changed but it just isn't quite the same. Last time in the mahi fillet was excellent so hopefully that will continue but some of the previous fillets have been questionable, even sending one back which I don't usually do. read more

Took my mom here for her 85th birthday lunch. She really enjoyed her fish, which was awesome, as I thought it was going to be too crispy for her. She LOVED the seafood chowder. My coconut shrimp were a bit small and plain for the price. My brother, not a seafood connessuer, was severely disappointed by the (clearly) Kraft macaroni and cheese he was served. He said he wouldn't have minded if they would have just put on the menu that it was boxed. There was a good variety of sauces available and thumbs up for serving Pepsi products. The restaurant was nicely decorated with a surfing theme throughout. Food came out at different intervals giving it a more fast food than sit down restaurant feel. read more

The food here is fresh and very consistent. The grilled shrimp appetizer is excellent and I have gotten it multiple times. The calamari is also very good large pieces of calamari. The fish is always cooked perfectly and the different seasoning choices are great to have. I also like the tomato, the coleslaw, the cheese, the brown rice. The drinks are a little pricey for the size of cups but that's okay since it's unlimited. The atmosphere is very nice and there's plenty of seating usually. The people are very nice that work there at the counter. All in all 10 out of 10 inconsistent and I've been here many times each year. read more

Friendly and accommodating staff. Good Onion Rings, and great Blackened Chicken! Shrimp Tacos are the messiest-best around! Comfy island like vices and music. Surf board like tables Indoor & outdoor dining options, plus covered outdoor option with fans. No battered fish, but mild, good tasting Fish Fry. Blackberry Jasmine Tea is the best! read more

I am happy to say I've become a regular since they moved to their new location. The breading on the shrimp and fish is unique and I love their cocktail sauce (something I usually dislike a lot). The workers are always friendly here and our food has come out perfect every time. The interior is cute although I tend to order as takeout most the time:) read more

This place isn't what yelp reviews would have you think. Cysco grade all the way through. Brown rice only. Mahi was dry and tough.

Wow at the service and the food. If you're craving coconut shrimp and a refreshing atmosphere, go here immediately. I searched for "food near me," and this restaurant advertised fish tacos, which sounded great to me. When I entered the restaurant, I was greeted quickly with a smile from all the employees, and since it was my first time in, a couple of the employees weighed in on their favorite dishes. With their recommendations in mind, I decided to go with the coconut shrimp appetizer, the fish tacos, and the onion rings. I was forewarned by the staff that I would have "plenty to take home," and goodness knows that was true. The coconut shrimp came out within 5 minutes, piping hot and served with a sweet sauce with a slight bite. These were some of the best coconut shrimp of my life. IN ARIZONA. HOW? Probably magic. The magic continued, as when my tacos arrived, I thought they had accidentally given me someone else's order as well- that's how large the tacos are. They were VERY generously covered with veggies and fish. They had a great flavor and the mango salsa on top was a great compliment to the fish. The onion rings were beer battered, and were also hot and fresh and delicious. I made it through most of the meal because it was so tasty that I couldn't stop myself, BUT this amount of food could have been split comfortably between 2 people... Maybe with an extra order of coconut shrimp though... Because you're not going to want to share. Employees came out to check on me and clear the table as I progressed through the meal. They did a great job of making me feel like a valued customer. And as someone not from Scottsdale, they gave me great advice on local attractions (especially where to take an easy early morning hike in light of the extreme heat- thanks for the Papago Park recommendation, Cici- it was great)! I'm already looking forward to my next visit, and I'm thankful I happened upon this little restaurant and the super friendly staff here. read more

Loved the Mac Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi. Yum! The service was great and the outdoor patio was nice.

I love Coconut Cafe!!! Someone who just got out of surgery was hungry and this place was close by. From the photos, the food looked light and fresh! Everything was amazing!!! The food was cooked fresh, the grilled chicken and fish&chips Mahi Mahi were both amazing. I came by a second time, this time with some kiddos and they loved it, too. They loved the surfboard tables and the staff and customers were super nice. Staff's upbeat attitude alone would make me come back every time I'm in the area. It's kind of hard to find, located directly next to Boleros and Carlos O'Brian. I don't live close by but I will definitely make special trips when I'm in the mood for some fresh seafood. read more

Very disappointing. $10 seafood chowder is mostly cornstarch, some broth, lots of onion and a couple chunks of mahi and canned clams thrown in. The poke bowl is mostly not poke. Lots of cucumbers, spinach, lettuce, onions some very unripe mango cubes and a little Ahi. I've lived in Hawai'i for nearly 15 years. This is disappointing. read more
