After visiting San Francisco and eating at their restaurants that served the freshest seafood, I was missing it, now being back in Sacramento. Stopped by at the California Fish Grill to fill that void. I’ve eaten here many times before and I’m so glad I remembered this place. They have fresh seafood here everyone!! I ordered the Wild Salmon over riced cauliflower and zucchini and it was delicious. The Wild Salmon was perfectly cooked. Fresh and flaky. It was a delight and was the next best thing! Top it off with beer or wine!
The salsa bar has been replaced. Just ask for the salsa/sauces and they will give you the salsa in a container with lids, for your safety. Restrooms were clean and so were both the inside of the restaurant & outside the patio area. They also provide no contact ordering.
Good food and great vibe! I’ll be back many many more times!! 👍🏽

The dynamite shrimp bowl. If it is a dollar more to make it a salad. Why serve it dry with no dressing. My coconut shrimp was over cooked and hard. The shrimp bowl serving was small for a big guy like me.

Took my daughter here on a Dad and daughter date. It was the perfect place to be for us here! Food was served hot and fresh...fast to order as well! She adored it! We scored here!

omg wow first time in Sac and this was one of my favorite meals. the dynamite shrimp bowl was fabulous i got it with brown rice and no cilantro, thought i would need extra sauce but it was so flavorful. had the perfect kick to it! the amount of shrimp was insane though im having to take half home because i couldn’t finish the 20 shrimps on top of the rice ! my boyfriend got the grilled chicken sandwich and i thought it tasted amazing, he said it’s alright because he didn’t think it was spicy enough.

I ate here at least 3-4 times and their food is consistently good. It's actually difficult for most restaurants to deliver the same quality every time.
I've had the fish tacos, fish n chips and the dynamite fries. OMG...those are my go to. Mom tells me the coleslaw is nice and tasty as well They never disappoint. I'm a serious foodie and a hard core critic so I'm happy to write a good review for this place.
Whatever you are doing in the kitchen keep doing it. The staff is just mediocre, the service can be better.

Great fish and chips. Kale salad needed more dressing. Calamari was ok. Coconut shrimp were good. Do wish they had the indoor seating available.

It has been a while since I've been to visit but No Worries Mates! They still come through in the Cluch. On the menu: Sea bass with zuchini and fries. Fish tacos and shrimp trio along with, The grilled catfish, rice and Kale salad. And No this wasn't all me lol! But it was most Delicious! Good Food Good Service. 😊

I got the salmon bowl. Wow that was great tasting, especially for a counter serve restaurant! Salmon was fresh and cooked nicely. Nice texture and taste with the cilantro.
Had some tacos another time - my partner and I both really liked the Cajun fish taco!

Hungry? Fishing for something delicious and healthy, but don't know what to get? Well, this restaurant will satisfy your appetite! I highly recommend getting your selection of fish grilled! I got the Sea bass plate and loved it! They do a really good job grilling. The fish was not dry at all. If you prefer fried fish, it's pretty good too, but make sure you eat it at the restaurant where it's hot and fresh. A lot of people complain that the batter is too thick, which can be a problem when the food is delivered and gets cold. Restaurant is clean, cool, and spacious. Free parking and an unlimited soda fountain is available for you drinkers! 🌝

The service today was really good. A cashier with the hair clip and I think black and red hair that I haven't seen before helped us and it improved our experience. The food is good most of the time so it is good to see good customer service here too.

We were in the neighborhood and I was looking for a place for lunch... and I saw they had “sea bass” usually my favorite fish...
Everything we ordered was good. I’m from Florida, and we have the best fish there. The sea bass was good, but not the best i ever had.
For a semi-fast food place, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised.
I would definitely go back next time if I’m in that area.

Great food and great prices. We like the quick service and freshness of the fish. It’s a win win combination for us! 5 stars!

The reviews don't lie on "California Fish Grill" as they are one of the most consistent and delicious seafood eateries in the area. I have been an avid fan of this place ever since this location opened its doors back in late-2018. Situated at the very busy Howe Bout Arden shopping district, this location is tucked directly under Punch Line Comedy Club and adjacent to Arden Way. They also opened a second location in early-2019 on Sunrise Blvd. in Citrus Heights at the Sunrise Marketplace.
There are several words that come to mind to describe this place; fresh, friendly, filling, consistent, affordable, and delicious. As I have eaten at their sister store in Citrus Heights which is much closer to my home, the first time I ate at the Arden location was on Saturday 9/18/2021 at around 6:00pm. One thing about this place is that it is very spacious, clean, and inviting. There are several tables for large parties as well as fairly generous outdoor patio seating for the more comfortable Sacramento days.
The menu itself is quite extensive as they focus primarily on healthy, fresh seafood options that includes salmon, swai, Mahi Mahi, tilapia, shrimp, ahi tuna, calamari, catfish, and rockfish. For the non-pescatarians, they do offer grilled/breaded chicken, fries, street corn, asparagus, & Brussels sprouts. Best of all, their drink options include a self-serve Stubborn soda station (try saying that 5 times) as well as a few beer & wine options to compliment your meal.
I ended up ordering a healthy low-carb option that included their "Salmon & Swai Combo" with a side of cauliflower rice & grilled rosemary zucchini with a drizzle of garlic butter Swai sauce. Since my friend is not a big fish eater, he ended up going with their "Grilled Chicken Breast" while choosing fire roasted street corn and pinto beans as his sides. They handed us a buzzer (which lights up and vibrates when our order is ready) that only took us roughly 10 minutes to receive our food.
The food itself, they don't skimp at all on the portions. Everything is seasoned to perfection while the sauce is nice addition to the first. My Swai and salmon combo was tender, moist, and paired up beautifully with my cauliflower rice and grilled zucchini. The flavors definitely all came together well as this meal was fresh, healthy, and succulent. I also sampled a bite of my friends meal and this chicken had a nice smoked flavor to it. Overall, both our meals were excellent.
When it comes down to it, "California Fish Grill" is as good as it gets when it comes to high end "fast food". Service has always been above average, prices are very decent for what you get, ambiance is wonderful, and of course the food never disappoints. When you factor all of these elements into play, I am giving this place a perfect five-star rating.

Enjoyed my first visit here. I like the order and then seated system. The cashier was very welcoming. Food was timely. Didnt feel the Cajun was hot...i like spicy so will probably try a different sauce next time. We ordered the giant shrimp and shrimp tacos. Tacos were my favorite..soooo good. Also love that they only give straws on request. Thr sauce bar was delightful and came around 525pm..not that bust but then quickly got packed. Will be back. Brussell sprouts were seasoned so well!

First time dining at California Fish Grill, would I go back again? Yes I would, I ate Battered Fish and Chips with Kale Slaw. My Brother ate Dynamite Shrimp Bowl. Both were good the Kale Slaw was a little dry, although I ate all of it. The Restaurant was clean,and the Employees were helpful. If you like seafood give it a. Just letting you know they do not serve Oysters.

Everything was absolutely amazing. I was hesitant at first... Not everyone can do catfish, how I like. Boy was I wrong, the Shrip Screws and Asperagas was delicious as well. All in all, Enjoyed everybit. I also enjoyed sitting on the lighted patio, in the nice Sacramento weather tonight. I will be back for more. 😋
