This is my go-to place for fish&chips! The batter for the fish is so fluffy and light and the fish is so moist and buttery it literally melts in your mouth. Now this was my first time trying the kale Caesar. I'm not a fan of kale but the dressing they used didn't even make it taste like kale. I also got the calamari but I inhaled those before I could take a picture. So happy we have this place so close to my parents home because as soon as I land back in SD from college, I have to come in and satisfy my craving.

I just absolutely love this place. It's became our family tradition to eat here once or twice a week. The food is always delicious and fresh. Employees are very friendly and provide great service.

I found my new favorite fish & chips spot!! I didn't know about this place until my bf brought me here and I can't believe I haven't had their fish and chips until now. It's tucked away in the corner between the At Home plaza and the plaza with Marshalls. Parking is easily accessible even on the weekend. The restaurant wasn't too busy during the early afternoon and food was served quickly! We ordered the 3 piece fish & chips and the combo that included shrimp & fish. The way the fried seafood is battered is so delicious! The fish & shrimp were crispy, not oily, tender and juicy! I find it difficult to get good fried shrimp these days and fish district's shrimp was not only big but also deveined and not overcooked! The fries are also yummy! Medium thickness and still crispy. The fish & chips came with tartar sauce and the combo came with cocktail sauce (amazing flavor), sriracha mayo (I think), & tartar sauce. They're generous with the sauce & fries portions! Both items were around $17 and left me feeling satisfied.

Very delicious fish n chips place. Was at a local appointment and saw this place with pretty great reviews. Was hoping for halibut fish n chips or haddock which they only had cod so I went with that. Food was served hot & fresh and no complaints at all, the coleslaw was to my liking and so were the sweet potato fries. Will for sure return.

Had the combo fish and shrimp with chips and a lager. The lager was delicious, the fish and shrimp were freshly cooked and the chips were crisp. It came with one piece of fish and 3 shrimps. Next time I will probably order fish and chips that comes with 3 pieces of fish since I still felt a bit hungry afterwards. I'm glad I found this place.

Still the most SOLID poke place I've been to in SD. Had to givem another review There's not as much customization of sauces and whatnot as some other places I've been to but I personally like the traditional or spicy sauce with mine The variation of other items in the menu also makes up for it. The fish burrito, calamari, tacos, mmmm all exquisite And overall the employees are always super chill and the place is super welcoming.

Hey Flavor Budz! Loved, loved, loved this eatery! High quality and simple menu. The concept is straightforward, which is a great concept because seafood restaurant experiences can get overwhelming quickly. My husband and I ordered the salmon burger and the six piece shrimp and fries basket. Along with two pineapple ciders. Listen! When that food came out and we took the first bite. We didn't even speak until we were like 3 or 4 bites in because the food was really, really good... lol We were impressed with the presentation of the food and, obviously, the taste because the seafood wasn't overcooked, and it had a freshness too. We didn't have much interaction with staff because there was only one team member working. But the restaurant was really clean and I love the openness of the establishment. We did dine outside because it was really warm. So we decided to eat and chill and enjoy the sun. This was added to our dine in San Diego list.

I was tired and hungry. So tired. So hungry. You see, I had just spent some time at the most crazy Costco, where I couldn't even get a sample! People kept jumping in front of me line animals! So I couldn't even dull my hunger as I became more and more despondent... it was time to go actually eat. I made my way over to Habit Grill because it's well.. a habit. I've been there before and they make a decent Ahi sandwich. Making my way I peeped this menu and decided I'd try something new! I got the Ahi bowl. It was OK. Also a passable value for the price, especially these days. At about $15 or so plus tip (it's counter service so I only tipped a couple bucks... I'm sick of this tipping culture for counter service stuff... no 20% from me again!) I got a bowl of somewhat flavorless rice, with veggies and a fair amount of sheared tuna. It came with a wasabi cream and I should have noted that because while I like spicy, I hate wasabi flavor. All in all the blacked seared ahi was made the way I liked it. It didn't taste fishy and didn't have fatty piece. I ate about 75% of my bowl and was full, allowing me to share the rest with my hungry loved one. If you have a large appetite then it might just be enough to make you feel like you had a good meal. The seating is nice and the restaurant looks and smells clean. They we've beer and wine but that would have to wait for another time. In all a solid experience. PS the California fish place down the road was pointed out to me after so I might need to do a head to head review!
