“ Overall impressed by this place. Plenty of seating. It's fast casual but also fresh. Got a Mediterranean shrimp wrap, it was filled with plenty of greens and it priced right. Plenty of choices. I didn't like that my fried fish was very oily, it was so oily that I saw oil dripping on the plate and a film of oil covering it. Other than that I'll give it another chance haha. Tartar sauce was very good, fish n chips were tasty. They also didn't take too long to make it. ”
“ Despite always going to this plaza for my hmart and korean fried chicken runs, I've finally tried CFG and it was sooo delish!! You walk in and order on the kiosk which I personally enjoyed. There was also a gentleman at the front counter who was kind and happy to assist us if we needed help. The food was so fresh and my fish tacos were nicely battered! You can actually taste the fish and you could tell that the oil used to fry the fish was clean compared to how some fish and chips can taste at other places. I am a condiment gal, so I loaded up my fish tacos with their dynamite sauce which was tasty. I got their combo for about $15 with a drink which I found pretty affordable considering how high quality the food tasted for a fast casual restaurant! Well worth a try!!! ”
“ This is always a great spot for a healthy meal! The food is consistently good and freshly prepared, which keeps me coming back. I decided to try the new wrap this time, and to be honest, I wasn't a big fan. That said, this is the first time I've had something here that I didn't enjoy, so it won't stop me from returning. Overall, still a solid choice for tasty, fresh options. ”
“ Our friend picks up these two items frequently! SWAI (WHITE/FISH): This farm-raised white fish has moderately firm flakes with pink tones and has a mild clean flavor. MAHI MAHI: "responsibly sourced Mahi is firm with white flakes and has a mild clean flavor. Comes with choice of sauce & two house sides. Both fishes are flakey, moist and full of flavor. I enjoy these white fishes. ”
“ Came here for lunch around 11:30am on a Wednesday with coworkers. Not busy yet when we arrived. You order at the cashier and then you wait at your table for your order. It didn't take that long for our orders to arrive. The fish and chips were delicious. It came with 2 sides. I got fries and the kale salad. Big portion and the fish was crispy and juicy. They also serve Kendal Jackson bottles of wine there. ”
“ I wanted something light for lunch so I ended up ordering 3 battered fish tacos from here. The fish was crispy and the toppings, including the sauces paired perfectly with the fish. The only complaint I have is that the price was slightly high. ”
“ Haven't been back in a while and would like to try it again, boy was I amazed. The white fish and the sauce were super good together and the fire corn was a pleasant surprise. So good and mildly spicy. Will keep coming back for the white fish bowls !! And everything is self served, they have this pineapple cream soda also delicious ”
“ This place was near my work and I decided to head here for lunch. The one thing about this place is that it has hella parking and it's adjacent to a hella busy area. I ordered pick up to eat there. They prepped the food hella fast and it was ready for me when I got there. I ended up ordering the fish and chips. It was good, not too greasy and somewhat fresh. The drinks they had there were cool, it was independent drinks. The service there was great, the people were nice and accommodating! ”
“ Oh man this place was so good I went back Two more times before my trip was over! Each time I got the swai fish with the garlic butter sauce, seasoned tomato's and the dynamite fries (they had peppers and a sauce). I really loved how light and flaky the fish was, I'd never had Swai before and it was prepared great! The tomatoes and Ferrante was a tasty fresh side that came with about 6-7 slices of tomatoes and then like I mentioned the dynamite fries packed a lot of amazing flavor! The interior of this place was clean -- there was a short line as people were ordering on iPads but someone ended up taking my order in person to ease the line. The wait for the food wasn't too long, it felt fresh. On my second visit I did try a tea there which was standard and I also got chips and "salsa" which was actually cocktail sauce ... kind of a weird combo that I couldn't finish. As someone who loves Mexican food, I wasn't expecting an amazing salsa but I definitely didn't want cocktail sauce, it just didn't work. The chips were also super seasoned with a red powder but there wasn't much salt in them so they kinda fell a little flat. The workers seemed nice enough, they didn't really interact much once an order was taken. Nothing special there. I'd definitely try this in my home town though!! ”
