    Chicken miso ramen and custom poke bowl
    Robert B.

    The food here is incredible! Big portions and tasty meals. The spicy miso chicken ramen was a little too spicy amd I love spicy, but the noodles and chicken was seared and wow so tasty. The gfs poke bowl was massive! Lots of unique flavors. Thebservice was fantastic and friendly, i asked so many questions too. The only reason its 4 stars was because the entire inside floor (dining and bathroom) were sticky, like soda sticky. And the second reason is the ambience is not pleasant, the whole room was filled with nasty cooking oil smoke, we were forced to sit outside because of how congested it was. With those improvements I would definitely give it 5 stars.

    Sushi burrito/sushirrito. Tasted good and was very dense and heavy
    Jay P.

    I've seen a lot of places with a sushi burrito and it always felt gimmicky. For some reason I craved it this day and despite the hot weather we came to Good Fish for custom poke bowls for the family and a sushi burrito for me. Location is in a large strip mall in Fullerton, there is lots of parking and if you've never come like we have, it's toward the left side of the plaza near the side street. You order at the counter and move down assembly line style where they will make your meal to-order like chipotle. Sushi burrito: Had mine customized with corn, cucumbers, salmon, tuna, and albacore. It cost $18 but is super dense and heavy. I ate half and was full. I loved the flavor of this and it's literally a giant sushi roll, worth trying even though it is gimmicky. Poke bowls: my family loved them bowls thgoh we did notice they did "go cheap" in the expensive fish and proteins. Totally understandable but the pieces were also cut very thin and it felt like bare minimum one more slice of each was needed. The interior is a bit newer and modern than the aged and sun best exterior.

    This place is soooo good. The build your own bowl is the best, I love the spicy tuna and all of the toppings. The portion size is great!! I always get their boba as well and try all of their delicious teas. The Thai tea is my favorite. They also have beer. Love this place!!

    Went in 1hr before closing, food was out fast and had amazing staff! Everything was amazing! Ordered potstickers, california hand rolls and milk tea! Everything was 10/10. Will recommend to friends and coming back very soon to try their sushi burritos!

    Found this place using Yelp. My daughter goes to school nearby and was craving poke. This place is great coz it has more than poke. Daughter and I had the poke and the hubs had the ramen the first time and we all got poke the second time around. Food, in general, is great. The poke bowls taste different depending on who makes it, just an FYI. Drinks are great - I get their wintermelon tea. People are so friendly. Will definitely go back.

    A fellow Elite told me this spot wouldn't disappoint and they were absolutely right. The restaurant is clean, at the perfect temperature, and has a welcoming vibe. The staff were all friendly and helpful, and after placing your order, they bring the food right to your table. I got the poke bowl with five choices: ahi tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and spicy tuna (yes, I doubled up on the spicy tuna--it was that good). Every fish option was super fresh, but the spicy tuna really stood out. I asked for the sauces on the side, and honestly, they were all delicious. I'd definitely recommend trying the Good Sauce and the House Garlic--both were packed with flavor. The portions are generous, and all the sides were just as tasty as the fish. Highly recommend checking this place out. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town!

    The Good Fish is located in an older shopping area on the corner of Palm Avenue and Placentia. It's easy to access and fairly easy to locate. Parking is plentiful. The exterior of the restaurant is very unassuming. Once you come in, however, you'll discover that it's clean, bright, and nicely laid out. The dining area seats about 25 people comfortably. No outside seating is available. There are self-serve areas for utensils and napkins. There are a couple of self-serve drinks options: a case that holds bottled and canned drinks or an unlimited refill soda fountain AND specialty tea bar. The staff was friendly and eager to help. Orders are placed at the counter and are brought out to you when they're ready. There are several "build your own" options (poke bowls, ramen, poke burritos) and you can chose to fill out a custom order slip beforehand or just verbally place your order with one of the workers. Many of the poke bases, proteins, and sides are typically found in most such places, but I did notice some other fun options like fried wonton strips, daikon, and potato salad. Today my daughter and I chose poke burritos. She ordered the California Burrito, which is basically a large, hand held California Roll. She loved it! I ordered the Extra Salmon Spicy Crunch Burrito. The salmon and crab salad were fresh, the lettuce and cucumbers were crisp, and the spicy mayo gave it a slight heat that was perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed it! We're looking forward to coming back. I think we'll split a burrito and a BYO ramen bowl next time.

    Custom poke bowl
    Krystina W.

    Super good quality and layout for poke bowls. I absolutely love that they don't cram all the ingredients into a small bowl that you have to dig through. The fish is also sashimi cut and not your tiny cubed cuts so it def seems fresher. They do have some extra toppings you don't normally see as poke options (daikon, potato salad) but I feel they are missing some staples as well. Nothing that I'm missing though. Not a huge selection of sauces but you should be able to find something! My recommendation for those who are use to to the normal poke bowls drenched in sauce, I would go with "heavy" as a choice. I usually do medium but it's pretty light. Just fyi. Overall I would highly recommend. It's a little on the pricey side but once you sit and eat the meal, it's worth it.

    Salmon bowl

    Amazingly delicious, fresh, top quality fish and ingredients!! Super friendly service where they remember your name. I hadn't been in for awhile and Michael and Jeff remembered my name and my order. I love that Jeff, the owner, works in the restaurant. I am sure that helps to keep this place at such a high level. Prices are great. Highly recommend.

    There's plentiful parking outside this restaurant and lots of seating inside. When you order a sashimi plate at this restaurant you pick up a form and fill it out before heading to the counter. You can either pick 3 or 5 types of fish. Avocado and seaweed salad aren't an upcharge here! Though yellowtail is. The bowls are inexpensive but don't expect a ton of fish like at some other poke places. This place truly has sashimi and it's very fresh and in small amounts. The sides and toppings do feel generous though and I still couldn't finish my whole plate. I would definitely come again if I was in the area to try some of their other dishes.

    This was my second time back after this place opened. Had the spicy salmon and tuna sashimi bowl, to go. Very fresh and delicious. Quality of ingredients is everything when eating sushi. No wonder they are busy! Easy parking, quick service, and friendly staff.

    Sofia P.

    delicious!! i love how this place is so customizable and the fish is so FRESH! very fair pricing for how much food you get and for the quality of the food. the black container in the photo is the regular and the clear one is the large! food came very fast & they don't charge extra for avocado when a lot of other poke places do!

Sometimes they can have a long wait, but that proves that they are great at their craft. Not only do they serve ramen, but they also offer rice bowls if you aren't in the mood for something soupy. They are a small shop, but I am always impressed with how quick the food comes out no matter how busy or how slow the restaurant may be. This is a great place for the winter or if you are out late with friends and you want to eat some good food!

Ages ago, during Titan-con, the anime/nerd convention run by the college, my friends and I decided to grab some ramen here. I could barely fit in the car since I couldn't take the Oda Nobunaga hat off of my head without taking off the wig, so that was a very hilarious memory. We came slightly before the weekend lunch rush so we didn't have to wait, but I can see this place getting super busy and fisted. There's bar counter seating (which we got) that surrounds the entire kitchen area and a decent amount of tables, but knowing people's love for ramen, and how a lot of the OC is a hellscape, it can get quite fisted. Service was friendly and welcoming, being in such a busy area and near a college, I'm sure staff have seen and experienced much more and polite people in cosplay weren't too much of a shock. I got their Aka Ramen which is made from kara (spicy) miso. Comes with 2 pieces of chashu and a seasoned soft boiled egg. I'm not a fan of beansprouts, so I made sure to donate this to a friend. Nice rich miso broth, and like many Japanese restaurant places (that don't have the ability to super build and customize), it has a slight heat, but not super spicy in the slightest. Noodles are thin style and had a nice texture to it that went well with the broth. Overall, not bad.
