I ate at California Fish Grill and had the mahi mahi and he had the ahi tuna and we shared. Both were very good and reasonably priced between $10-$13. I also recommend the grilled zucchini it was very good as well. You can get a glass of wine for about $4 and I think they have a corkarage fee of... More

I always visit this place when I am in town. The ahi poke (raw ahi tuna) is delicious and the fresh grilled fish is excellent. The salsa bar and the tap beer just adds more character and flair. Great value!

This one of the best fish taco and fish places in Irvine, CA just south of Anaheim and Disneyland. It is in a shopping strip mall off Barranca Parkway and always good with good service and take out. We ate there in February and it was great and go back whenever we are in the area of Newport Beach. The... More

This restaurant is casual, fast and provides good quality food for a reasonable price. It has a nice atmosphere and even offers a few choices of alcohol to go with your meal. Having a well-balanced lunch or dinner that includes grilled fish and vegetables for under $10 is hard to find. While watching calories, etc. ask for the fish grilled... More

Had such a good experience. The fish was delicious and fresh and a very nice portion. The grilled vegetable was a great side dish. The side salad was very good too with a tasty cilantro dressing. Nothing fancy but plenty big with a nice patio too. Prices so reasonable will go back to try more for sure. Would love to... More

We enjoy the California Fish Grill, We can count on the food being fresh and well prepared. They have a open kitchen so you can see them cooking your food. The white fish is excellent one of my daughter favorites, served with rice. I order the grilled shrimp tacos. They are often very busy and service can be found lacking... More

I was so happy to find this restaurant! It was fast , great prices, fresh, and the Ahi Tuna I ordered was done better than the High Price Vegas place or the Upscale Fresh Fish place in Fort Collins that costs x3 as much! I highly recommend it!
