I was craving fish after my appointment at KP Sand Canyon, so I looked up recommendations on Google. This place was the most promising. I was blown away. It checks all the boxes for a 5-srar experience. The menu is reminiscent of California Fish Grill, with prices slightly higher due to location. But the food was amazing. The ambiance is unbeatable, the service prompt and friendly. It did not feel like a fast-food type of dining experience at all. My salmon was perfectly seasoned and was tender and flaky. The Brussels sprouts were delicious as well. Make sure you leave room for dessert because their pastry selections were decadent and mouthwatering. Highly recommend!

Honestly, I feel like this place is slept on. Especially with the California Fish Grill domination. But yo make sure to try this spot out! It works out too if you're tryna avoid the red meat at ICanBBQ bc it's across the street. It is owned by the same people, which is kinda cool. I recommend the things in the pictures, they were really solid. Nice outdoor seating, too. So pls drop by and show em some love!

Amazing spot - we went on Friday while they have live jazz music! We enjoyed salmon tacos and ahi tuna green salad. Generous portions and quick service. Everything tasted fresh. Patio is worth mentioning as well - we’ll set up, grape wines threaded thru , fire pit etc Dubai cheesecake was a perfect touch

I ordered Salmon tacos combo (2 side: sweet potato fries and corn), one shrimp taco, cocktail Cosmo. I was surprised that the cocktail was so much delicious than I thought. Of the three cocktail options, I ordered the Cosmo, which I recommend. The shrimp tacos and salmon tacos were both delicious. I will order another taco next time. I sat outdoors in the evening, and the atmosphere was wonderful because beautiful lights and fires were prepared. The staff were friendly and nice.

Finally an excellent place that makes great lokma in Orange County. An unexpected fish grill restaurant serving famous Turkish lokma dessert. We cannot say much about fish since we ordered only dessert. The dessert is served only weekends. The restaurant is recently opened in Oak Creek Shopping center. There is plenty of parking places. There is a large heated outdoor patio with nice seatings. The indoor is spacious with distance between tables Even though it is only few weeks old, the operation is smooth and efficient. We were greeted by the store manager and she answered all our questions about the place. Once we ordered our dessert, we were helped by the on site pastry chef to get the toppings for our order. The chef was quite knowledgeable and qualified. She attended one of the best culinary schools in Istanbul. Lokma was delicious as we are a family of dessert snobs it got great marks from all of us. The serving and toppings were generous. Making lokma is not an easy feast and in general it gets soggy and leaves an oily taste if not done properly. Not these ones, they were crispy and light. They were satisfying to sweet tooth but not overwhelming. We will definitely come to this place to try out fish and end it with Lokma. Great job to the team behind this restaurant. It is a welcoming addition to OC’s restaurant scenery.

This is just for takeout only. The food came out fast and delicious. I ordered grilled Mahi Mahi with Brussels sprouts and sweet potato fries. Be warned… getting veggies with the fish doesn’t make it much healthy, but it was very flavorful and filling. So don’t expect it to be diet friendly.

I liked this place, not a crowded one and a lot of fresh fish. You can choose 2 sides with your fish and a sauce. 45 dollars for 2 dishes and one beer. There is tuna and swai on the pic. Recommend.

Nice and roomy place with fresh dishes. Would have been nice if they have more soup options. Fish was fresh and the side dishes were pretty good as well. The added bonus of you come on a Friday night, you can enjoy live Jazz!

Frist time Customer this Restaurant was packed with people. Nice patio,The restaurant was very clean. Great fish tacos. GREAT live jazz band. Reasonably priced. I had a great experience here.

Great place for some good seafood 🦞 Order at the counter, with indoor and outdoor patio seating. Everything is very fresh. We love the happy hour menu and offerings.

Love this place! The food is so good! Always fresh and tastes amazing. We always keep on coming back here. So many choices. The atmosphere on the patio is lovely and they have live jazz on Fridays. This place is one of our favorites!

OC Fish Grill is a really great place. I always go with their fresh salmon and it’s a hit for me. They have very fresh seafood which is prepared to perfection. They’re consistent with the quality and I’ve been coming here for years. It’s one of my favorite places in the Irvine area and you really can’t go wrong. Five stars all the way!!

I had my lunch in this restaurant couple of days before. I had delicious Corn chowder soup And I had a grilled Tuna plate with salads and French fries. Thank you guys

6.3.25 First time.. The lady behind the register looks very confused with my order or didn't know how to key it in.. Finally gave up, just ordered Fish and Chips. The Fish were huge.. not sure what type of fish, but it was good. The Fries became soggy because of the zucchini. Not sure if the waitress knows how to take other order, except Fish and chips.

I had fish and chips. Comes with 2 sides. I chose Brussel sprouts and zucchini. They give you 3 gigantic pieces of fish. Delicious! But the Brussel sprouts were burnt to a crisp! Had I known they fried them, I would chosen something else. But it's a very nice place. Very cozy. Nice beer & wine selection. Some cocktails even. I like this place. I just wish they didn't burn my vegetables. But I'll come back and try other stuff. They have a huge menu. Their sides are healthy. Sweet potatoes, asparagus, brown rice, zucchini, Brussel sprouts. Very healthy when you pair it with fish. They even have happy hour. I recommend you ask how the vegetables are prepared before you order. I would have given them 5 stars if they didn't burn my Brussels. That seems to be a trend now. Lots of restaurants prepare them this way. With that being said, this is a very nice place. Has good food. I do recommend them.

We visited OC Fish Grill and enjoyed the outdoor seating area, which was clean and relaxing. The restaurant offers free parking and self-service, making it convenient. I ordered the white fish, but it tasted more like tilapia, though the food overall was fresh and delicious with well-prepared sides like zucchini and sprouts. The staff were polite and hardworking, making the experience even better.

Came here on a Friday night when they had live music. It was PACKED! Those who showed up early to watch the live music got a nice seat in the patio area. It was very obvious that they’ve already finished eating, but were just sticking around waiting for the show to start. That was a bit frustrating as seating was very limited and they were just taking up seats from other paying customers. Overall the restaurant has a nice atmosphere despite the fact that we had to sit outside of the restaurant (since the patio was full or tables were reserved). They only take reservations for parties of 6+ otherwise you order at the counter and it’s self seating. It was a bit chaotic and difficult finding a seat. But once you order they will bring the food out to your table, so that was pretty nice. Overall the food was pretty good.

Got the fish and chips and my fish came out like it had been cooked in 2 week old grease. So either over cooked (burned) or the grease was actually old. Asked them to give it another try and it came out the same way and they didn't seem to care very much. Unfortunate bc I really wanted to like this place.

Grilled fish was not testy and french fries was stale . clam chowder soup inside the bread was incredibly salty and very creamy and over all service was poor !

Food was overpriced. Had a salmon bowl and the fish had many large bones. Coffee was not great, even the fresh cup that was brewed. Service was horrible. At 1001 pm even though the kitchen was still cooking and people were on the patio we were told the restroom was not available because they closed at 10pm.

Extremely Disappointed – Poor Service, Cleanliness, and Zero Accountability As a small business owner myself, I truly understand the challenges of running a restaurant, but I was deeply disappointed with nearly every aspect of our experience at this establishment—from food to service to overall atmosphere. Where do I even begin? Lack of Professionalism: There was absolutely no consistency among staff—some were in uniform, others were not. No one appeared to have had any kind of training in customer service. We stood at the register for several minutes while four staff members walked past us repeatedly before someone finally decided to take our order. Food Experience: We ordered: - 2 kids' fish and rice - 1 grilled chicken sandwich (which came out fried and had to be sent back) - Grilled tilapia - Fried shrimp The kids' meals were served in visibly dirty bowls. The rest of the food was average at best—nothing that would make me return. We asked for lemons and were told they'd be brought to us, but after being forgotten, I ended up getting them myself. Service and Staff Conduct: Not once did anyone check in on our table. Instead, two staff members were playfully shadowboxing behind the counter just feet away from customers who were eating. It was beyond unprofessional. While we were dining on the patio, staff decided to remove the trash from nearby bins and walked right through the dining area swinging garbage bags—this is absolutely unacceptable in any food establishment. Lack of Support and Cleanliness: We asked for a takeout box. No one brought it, so again, I had to go up to the counter to get one. I asked to speak with a manager and was told no one was on duty. That explained everything. To top it off, I used the restroom on the way out—it was dirty, and there was no paper in the dispenser after washing my hands. Final Thoughts: This restaurant desperately needs a manager on shift to ensure staff are held accountable. There was no leadership, no urgency, and no care for the customer experience. Sadly, I will not be returning and absolutely cannot recommend this place to anyone. I’ll be sticking with California Fish Grill, where professionalism and cleanliness are actually prioritized. To the owner or manager—if you are reading this, I’d welcome the opportunity to share my feedback directly. Please let me know how I can reach you. If I could give zero stars, I would.
