    Fancy sushi platter and nigiri
    Carrie U.

    I love Red Fish so much!! I was at a friends for dinner and she catered from Red Fish. It was so good I got their info. I had sushi dinner tonight for the family and it was so easy to order (same day) and everything was so delicious! Amazing presentation too! Of course, it was so good, my parents asked for the info and will have them cater their next dinner party - and I know the next party will lead to more people asking and using them... and so on and so on and so on! Truly worth it! We got the fancy sushi platter plus some extra nigiri- everything was delicious! Even my picky mom ate everything (and lots of it too)!! I highly recommend coming here if you're hosting a party and you don't want to cook everything, or you simply don't want to cook at all. Fairly priced for the quality.

    This sushi was brought in as a party tray to an event I was part of and it was fantastic. The presentation of the tray was also so pretty. The triangular pieces were unique and absolutely delicious. They had a crunched fried texture that layered and combined with the fish and rice was so good. Even though it was catered the freshness was still perfect. The variety of the tray was fun and flavors were complimentary. Very much enjoyed and was so happy when sushi was what was being served at my event!!

    How many people can walk to a restaurant that serves Japanese/Italian/Israeli & Persian cuisine? During a pandemic? I think not. But I am fortunate that this place is remaining open for take out as I ignorantly avoided this joint for years thinking how is it possible to offer so many different types of food? In this instance, my instincts were wrong. The sushi I ordered was very good and this small restaurant that used to do a lot of catering has a side kitchen as well as the main kitchen that apparently can, and does, cook up some diverse ethnic cuisine. Next time I think I will try some Persian food and then go back for some Italian or Israeli? Maybe I should get something from each and mix it up like sushi with cherry rice, hummus and chicken parmigiana? Now that's the ticket. Whatever, this place is unique enough to help stay in business and get through these challenging times.

    WOW. I've never experienced such rude, unprofessionalism from a company that you're trying to give thousands of dollars in business to. I was a little weary of Red Fish because of the bad reviews on yelp, but we decided to give it a try as an option for our engagement party. Our planner reached out to Celerino Bautista, one of the owners who deals with catering, to set up a tasting for us to try the Persian food and their sushi. She had been in communication with him and confirmed on Saturday as well as Monday for our Tuesday afternoon tasting at 4pm. After all leaving work early and making schedule changes, we all trekked from the valley over to the westside and arrived early at 3:30. We spoke to Alma letting her know we arrived for our 4pm food tasting. Alma said she was not sure what we were talking about because Celerino had not alerted the restaurant about the tasting. When we asked to speak with him, she said he left the restaurant 30 mins prior to us arriving because of an emergency. I understand emergencies happen, but at least let your staff know to expect us and have things ready. Alma told us we could taste the sushi that's on the catering menu so we ordered that for the meantime until our planner arrived. When our planner arrived, she told us that Celerino had confirmed with her and when she called him (after we call we her explaining the situation), he was completely rude and blamed her saying he didn't confirm and if we wanted to leave we could just leave. She sent him screenshots of her confirming and he then accepted responsibility and apologized. In the meantime, Melinda or Melly was giving us the runaround. She said there was no way for us to try the meat because it needed to be marinated. Obviously Celerino had never told the restaurant about the tasting period. She also said that we could try the salads, but would need to pick a few since the chefs would have to make them fresh. We asked to see the catering menu and let Alma know which salads we wanted to try. Alma then said that we couldn't try any salads because they don't keep produce at the restaurant and would need to order it specifically for the tasting, but beforehand. So what Alma said completely contradicted what Melinda had told us. At this point we were so mad and shocked from the awful service we were getting. We asked Melly who the owner of the company was and she said "I'm not sure." I responded with "What? You're not sure who the owner of the company is? You don't know who you work for? Is it you don't know or you don't want to tell us?" She said "I'm not allowed to tell you." My aunt sent a quick message to our lawyer and was able to find who the owner was in 2 minutes. Celerino finally showed up as we were walking out at about 5:15. He apologized but he was not sorry. It wasn't an authentic apology. We will be taking our business to another caterer who appreciates the business. Save yourself the headache and go somewhere else.

Turmeric Braised Chicken - The dish was a bit on the basic end, not a lot of seasoning but you could taste the tumeric. Chicken was tender but slightly on the drier side which was a bit surprising considering it was dark meat (6.5/10) Kofteh Tabrizi - The tomato taste was prominent in the broth but the meatball itself was overly salty. The flavor was one note, I can't see myself ordering this again as I've heard this dish should have more complex flavors so I was disappointed (5.5/10) Kotlet Plate - As you can see from my picture, the kotlet was burnt beyond repair and I could taste the bitterness from the overused oil they used to fry it. I did like the yogurt spread and the pickles that came with it but I did not like the kotlet at all. We didn't bother asking them to replace it (4/10) Mirza Ghasemi w/ Barbari bread - The star of this whole experience was the Mirza Ghasemi, the roasted eggplant and tomato spread came cold and it was the most delicious thing we had. One of my friends vacuumed it right up before the rest of us could have seconds. Bread was a bit dry but it was a great vehicle for the Mirza (8.5/10) Lamb Gheimeh - Lamb was tender and it had some nice spices infused in there but it didn't wow me in any way (7/10) Sholezard - Our waitress brought over some complimentary Ceylon tea with the Sholezard which was kind. This rice dessert was not too sweet. The warmth and saffron ended our meal in a comforting way. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't get it again (7/10) +1 star for the service

I finally had the chance to stop in for a solo early dinner, but unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to my expectations. I ordered the Lule Kabob Combo ($22), which included skewers of minced beef and chicken, rice, veggies, pita, hummus, and a side salad. The highlights of the meal were definitely the salad and the grilled tomato; the pomegranate seeds in the rice were also a nice touch. However, the meats weren't to my taste--the chicken had an odd aftertaste, and while the beef was better, neither really worked for me. Adding the provided sumac and lemon helped, but I wouldn't order the kebabs again. Additionally, the hummus lacked creaminess, and the pita tasted like it was mass-produced rather than fresh. On the positive side, the portion sizes are very generous for the price point, and I left feeling full. I also have to mention that the patio is adorable and very "Instagrammable," so it's a great spot if you're looking for a photo-friendly environment. A quick note for future visitors: they are currently having issues with their card reader and are requesting cash or Zelle. It felt a little unusual to be rung up on a register only to pay via Zelle, but it wasn't a major deal. While I appreciated the atmosphere and value, the food itself just wasn't for me, so I likely won't be returning.

That's why I was excited to bring my girlfriend and her friend here today. Unfortunately, this experience was completely different. Our waiter, Amir, barely checked on our table. His greeting and every interaction with us felt monotone, rushed, and completely lacking any warmth. There wasn't a single smile or welcoming gesture throughout the meal. At one point, I walked to the restroom and, on my way back, saw the same waiter enthusiastically speaking Farsi and providing attentive, friendly service to several other tables. The contrast between how those tables were treated and how we were treated was impossible to ignore. Based on my experiences here, it certainly felt like customers who are Persian or speak Farsi receive a much warmer level of service than those who don't. The food is still good, but service is a big part of the dining experience. I left disappointed, especially after recommending this place to others. Unless you speak Farsi or are Persian expect mediocre to poor service. This shoutout is for you Amir! Hopefully management reads this review.
