One of my favorite local spots. I never have a bad experience. They always follow special directions I have. Like spicy ranch on the side. Nice portions and my meal is always fresh. Plus they are the kindest employees. Definitely try them out if your in down town.

On the US east coast, I developed and ran a seafood restaurant as well as a seafood export business. If I do say so myself, I have very good knowledge of seafood. I recently relocated to San Jose and now reside close to City Fish. I was overjoyed to discover this location. City Fish is top-notch. And their tiny "hole-in-the-wall" kind of location further enhances their individuality and identity as the typical local hangout you'll find in every large city. City Fish comes highly recommended.

I've always loved City Fish, even back when I lived in Cupertino (first discovered). City fish is what you expect, mostly fried fish and sides, can be heavy at times. Make sure you're in the mood for some serious comfort food! The place is artfully decorated. It has a completely unique vibe of its own. There are a few TV's to watch sports games inside. Not sure If they turn on sound ever... The reason for the three stars is because the portion vs pricing seems high and both fried entrees were over fried and extra greasy. With those two entrees and two drinks, it was about 35$ before tip. Idk, just doing simple figures, most frozen fried food isn't 13$-14$ a plate. Sides are fries. Maybe I'm wrong...I think the place would be more inviting if pricing was more aligned with the food. Parking is off Santa Clara St--good luck!! Foot, scooter or ride-share might be a more efficient option.

The best fish and chips in the area. The fish is always super moist and crispy. The hard part about fish and chips is it not being too oily, which The City Fish is excellent at. It's perfectly done. No complaints, just good food. The fries are basic which isn't a bad thing for fish and chips. They are always seasoned and crispy, but don't taste frozen. Couple up that fish with some of the tartar sauce and some malt vinegar, and bang you saved yourself an expensive flight to the UK. The only other food i tried was the lobster roll, which was a little underwhelming, granted its not a $25 sandwich. It's very basic to say the least. But for someone who isn't the biggest lobster fan it was pretty good. The staff is always friendly and treats you like family, this place definitely has that feel to it. Thats why I keep going back, along with the good food of course.

The food here is always consistent and delicious. We know each time we come here, we're going to be stuffed after we're done cus the portions are huge!!! The service is just as great as the food. Every person we've interacted with their is super sweet and polite, always has a smile on their faces and greets us as soon as we walk in. My partner has tried multiple things from the fish and chips to different fish plates and has enjoyed every one of them. I always get the lobster roll with fries and steamed veggies. They never skimp with the lobster and that's a huge reason as to why we keep coming back! Also love that they don't add much to the veggies, just some pepper which is how it should be when you order veggies. Looking forward to the next meal we have here, the workers here are always so pleasant

My partner and I were in the mood for fish and chips so we tried The City Fish for the first time! The place is located in downtown SJ so good luck finding parking. We had a takeout order which was ready at the estimated time we were given -- yay for punctuality. The fish was crispy and oh so delicious. We both loved the tartar sauce which is more on the dill tasting side than sweet side! I wasn't impressed by the fries because they lacked salt and were a bit dry and soggy. Other than that, the price for amount of food is pretty good!

The City Fish is wow!! Just wow! I came last night with my bestie and our boss for dinner. He lives in DT, so he highly recommended this place. I was happy we came. I love fish & chips, so I tried the combo with batter dipped chicken and fish. The chicken was good, but the fish was the star. Light and flaky, good batter and not greasy. Fries super piping hot!! I love that! My bestie got cole slaw as a side and the portion was soooo big! She had to take it home. She was so happy they had Mexican Squirt in a bottle lol. Had 2!! Calamari, chefs kiss muah lol. Italian style with real squid pieces and tentacles. Outstanding!! It was sooo good. Sooo good, I haven't had good calamari in a long time. I was so full of deep fried goodness. Thank you City Fish!! I will be back!!

Great portions. Not greasy much at all. Incredibly fresh. Great prices. I'm Aussie and didn't think America could do a good fish and chips, but this really changed my mind and was a solid meal. We're definitely coming back! - J&M

Bomb fish n chips and many other items. Reasonable prices. Very attentive/friendly staff. Fish and chips- Light and crispy. Fries the same. Also tried the crab toast and shrimp pasta. Both were amazing and I'd order again.

Was surprised that the fish and chips were pretty good. They came out piping hot with a crispy batter and smooth cod. Service was friendly and kept everything simple. I shared a 3 piece fish and chips with my fiancée. We enjoyed our meal and had no complaints, it was a solid meal. The real winner for us was the NY cheesecake. The crust was delicious and had a nice balance between crumbly and cracker-like. This place saves me the trouble of driving to Half Moon Bay for Fish and Chips.

Found this place from Yelp, thank you! The staff was so friendly and nice. We came hungry and they graciously fulfilled our large order. 3 lobster rolls, fish and chips, crab sandwich, crab cakes, and bucket combo of clams and mussels. Everything was excellent! The lobster was delicious, maybe a little less Mayo, but still so good, the buttered roll was soft and yummy! The sides were all great, veggies, salad, mashed potatoes, balsamic tomatoes, and our favorite the garlic fries. The mussels and clams were great with the bread and that delicious broth. The crab sandwich came out late, and it was just okay. Crab cakes were a little soft but still good flavor. The fish and chips are out of bounds good, get it!
