Ive eaten at City Fish twice: yesterday and 2 weeks ago. The first time I ate Cat Fish with French Fries and steamed vegetables. All of the meal was good! Yesterday i ate Linguine with Grilled Chicken topped with a very, very good red sauce. I have eaten Italian-American/Calabrian red sauces in Calabria, Boston, San Fran Fakey, Seoul, Osaka, Pusan, Hong Kong, Torontos Little Italy, Montreal, Victoria, Ottawa, and in New Hampshire. City fishs red sauce is the best Ive ever had out of all of these places. The toasted Garlic Bread was decent as well, and the celery, onions, garlic, basil, oregano, bay leaf, and whatever else the chef used as ingredients rocked my taste buds. Its so damn good that Im going back for seconds tonight!

The restaurant isnt really noticeable from the road. You got to know where its at. I guess thats why only the locals know about City Fish. Nothing fancy about the place, you choose your fish, sides and the quantity from the menu board, located above the cash register, then - - the oysters are freshly shucked, fish dipped and fried (real batter), chips thrown into the frier - and the food is brought to the table - steaming hot. With a Malt vinegar, ketchup or the house tartar sauce to garnish ...... its "Thank you very much, more of the same again please!" And all at a very reasonable price. Cold beer is available.

Had a wonderful meal tonight at The City Fish. Ivan and Toni were the most hospitable waiters that we have experienced in a long time. Both were attentive and service oriented. They also showed that they care about the business. Very refreshing!!! The food was excellent and we tried a wide variety of dishes. The fish was well seasoned and very fresh. Good Prices. Definitely not an upscale environment but once that food came to the table it didnt matter a bit. Well worth it - If you like great food.

Good solid fish-n-chips place; considerably better than average. Tried their fish and chips, crab cakes and chowder. All were excellent, taste-wise. Fair prices, too. Their fish was perfectly cooked; not the overcooked fare from many outfits. Their tartar sauce is nicely pickly, but too sweet. I like more crab in my crabcakes, and clams in my chowder. So four stars it is. Very good, but not top notch. Will get an opinion about their fried oysters soon. They serve raw, too. Good menu selections.

Im from out of town and this place was on dining for miles so I decided to swing by. Its a little store with a counter and you can get your food to go or you can sit down and they will bring it to you. They also have beer. They have happy hour food specials and alcohol specials. I had calamari and fish tacos and it was excellent. If Im ever in the area I will definitely come back again.

5 stars are not enough for this place. They serve a wide variety of dishes, mainly seafood but also burgers and chicken, a 1-piece fishnchips is a really decent meal for about 25c more than a McFish from Mc-YouKnowWho, the staff wait on you hand and foot, theres a bathroom, and they pull this all off in a part of San Jose that ... lets just say theres entertainment too.

The portions for the combination meals are great. The fish and chicken are light on flavor, but goes great with the tartar sauce. I really liked that they keep the ketchup and tartar sauce cold, and only bring them out with the order. The venue has limited space, so large parties might have trouble eating together during peak hours. City fish also validates parking.

Amazing fried fish!! I love the fact that the fish is deep fried but is not too greasy. My kids loved the fish and chips! got them each a one piece and fries and they were good. I had a 3 peice, but should have probably only gotten a two. Ate for 4 of us with drinks for less than $40. Great,deal and great food!!

Really high quality food for very reasonable prices. Looking at this place, it doesnt give the vibe of upscale restaurant fish, but this has been some of the freshest and best tasting fish Ive had in a long time. Better than the upscale places. I wish this restaurant was near my home. Id eat here all the time!

Excellent fried seafood, sandwiches, and grilled fish! Staff is also super nice and friendly, and prices are very reasonable. There are two TVs dedicated to whatever sports events are on, as well as a selection of alcoholic beverages. Great spot for the classic combination of fried food, beer, and sports!

This is my go-to lunch spot when Im in the office Monday-Friday, and consistency is their selling point. The inside is quite small, with not a lot of space, and as the photos show, the interior is not the best decorated. I really like this place and Im tempted to give it five stars.

One of the best places in downtown Ive been too offering a good selection of dishes all made to perfection. Excellent service. Small place, kinda healthy options. Great food. If u need a change in your daily dining you should definitely go here n Im sure you will be in for a treat.

Decided to try this place today. It wasnt bad, it was just... Bland. I went for the grilled trout and some clam chowder. Both of which were made well and still hot by the time I got back to the office but missing that kick of flavor I was hoping for.

I actually liked their food, but my friend getting food poisoning last time I ate here has prevented me from returning. Ive never gotten sick myself after eating here a few times. If youre willing to gamble that, you may be pleasantly rewarded.

Great little hidden gem in downtown! Despite all the upscale and high priced eateries in the area this place maintains its "locals" feel with affordable prices and consistently good food. Icing on the cake is the excellent customer service!

Was looking for a last seafood meal before leaving the area to go home. The reviews were great and it was close to the airport and they did not disappoint. Highly recommend! And the God appointments were awesome as well!

Could not love this place more. Run by super cool guys, great deals on really good seafood dishes. I recommend the salmon with double vegetables and extra rice, basically the healthiest thing in San Jose and its DELICIOUS.

Really warm and friendly service. Best fish & chips Ive had: light batter, flaky fish. The tempura-style prawns were big and succulent - amazing! Clam chowder was served lukewarm and was too flour-y, unfortunately.

This place Rocks!Lived here 2 years and never tried this place. What a mistake on my part! The Fish-n-Chips are amazing! Very large portion for the money. And the grilled Salmon is off the hook!

Great fish, scallops, and shrimp. Fries need some work, they dont hold up to the good food. Fresh cut fries with some sea salt and cracked pepper would really improve it and make this 5 stars!
