Restaurant Portside Review

The only thing that would have made this a full 5 star meal would've been the sour dough bread bowl but unfortunately they ran out. But what more is there to say about this beauty besides all the good stuff. It's the bacon mac'n chowder. It was quite filling on it's own. As for flavor, I would've wished that they had more bacon in there, but it was pretty decent in terms of flavor and texture profile. It has all the elements of bacon mac and cheese and clam chowder together. 10/10 would try again with the bread bowl. Just have to find the right time cause weekdays during lunch it gets packed, and this was at 6:30 and they were out of bread bowls.

What a hidden gem!

This is the best shrimp taco I've ever eaten, without question. If you have nothing else at this restaurant, get the shrimp taco. If you're at a nearby restaurant, pop over here and get the shrimp taco.

Buddy and I both got shrimp tacos and split the surf & turf burrito. Both were awesome. The tacos really stood out as awesome quality, though, and I'll be returning on the merit of that item alone. Highly recommended for any and all.

Not much service to comment on as it's more of a "kiosk" than anything, but the guy behind the counter was prompt and friendly so there's that!

I wanted to try this spot in person but I got lazy so I decided to Postmate some food. I ordered the Fish & Chips, Calamari, and the New England Clam Chowder with the Jalapeno sauce. Love the clam chowder, it was thick and wasnt cheap with the ingredients. I knew the fish and fries would be a little soggy, but I was craving it and it was still delicious. I dipped it in the chowder and it was so amazing. The calamari had great flavors and I am a fan of the bell peppers. I will definitely try this place in person next week cause I know it will taste 100 times better.

Nothing special. Burritos are a bit too mushy and the fried items aren't crispy enough

Great seafood, great service, and great outdoors location.

The food is very good and tasty. The fish is chip is my favorite. They have a very good size meau they have a big patio area. They have 10 other food joints in the patio plus a bar. The food is very food.The parking can get very crazy. In the trade center.in Irvine 2 block from John Wayne airport.

These hours are wrong. It's never open when I take my lunch at 8:00pm

Hands down the best calamari i ever had. Also had the sauteed scallops, oysters, and clam chowder. All of it was amazing.

Best and least expensive seared ahi in downtown Irvine

This place have Delicious food. I will most definitely visit again when I return to Irvine Ca. San Pedro Platter it was around $75.00 per platter.

White fish, fries and elote is my go to order. Fish or shrimp taco plate is also a great choice. Can t go wrong with the burrito either. I have yet to try the big seafood platter but it does look amazing.

Had the white fish burrito which is delicious. It's definitely large enough to split between two people if you're not famished. If you want fries in your burrito make sure to ask for the Cali style with w/e choice of meat.

Got the surf and turf burrito. Absolutely delicious. Enormous size makes the burritos enough for two meals really. The steak was cooked perfect, and the seafood was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend this place.

Love this spot. Nice day out sunny to enjoy the San Pedro Platter, clam chowder bread bowl and Hard shell carne asado salad and carne asada burrito. Delish!! Love to share this experience with family and friends

Fish tacos, burritos, salads, bowls. They re all delicious!

Made To Order. Expect an 8-10 Wait. Fried Items Best Onsite. Really Enjoyed the Salmon Plate with Grilled Veggies.

I absolutely enjoy the dishes and service, excellent location next to my house. The staff members are always friendly. Highly recommended.

Fun local seafood. Great healthy options. A tad pricy, but definitely worth it. Wonderful service!

It was okay. I follow the plant paradox way of eating and I found the options here were sub par. I wouldn't go here again

After reading all the hype about the calamari I ordered it I was not happy with it they put some type of hot sauce drizzled on the calamari and also gave me a side of marinara sauce..

While waiting to get seated at a nearby ramen restaurant, I ordered fish and chips. The fried fish was frozen and as a result, made each piece extremely soggy. The batter was too thick and simply fell apart when picked up. The fries were good as they were Cajun seasoned. Other than that, it was a rip off ($13 for 4 frozen pieces). Try something else if you're in the courtyard.

Foremost, I suggest the Elote. We got it as a side on the plate with the Ahi Tuna and it was phenomenal.

The Cali shrimp burrito was great too but once we put some of the corn on it, it was next level. Jesus.

Awful. Service none existence. 29 min for a bowel of food. Avoid at all cost.

Lady tells me they always close at 4:30pm. Drove 30 min to get here because their listing shows 5pm. I m pretty sure she just wanted to go home early. Not cool

1. Had to wait for a salesperson to come to the counter.
2. Had fish and chips. Overpriced compare to other local places (4 piece for $12.) Fries looks good but they add too much spice. Fish is OK. Sauce is too hot.
3. Coke in a 0.5l bottle is $3.70 (????????)

Overall: Pricey. It's ok to come here for a quick bite/ seafood, but if you have time - go for a better local alternatives (See google maps).

Taco Tuesday $3 Gourmet tacos. The best $3 you'll ever spend.

Great food and service, We got Fish & Chips, the Mac & Chowder with Bacon and the fish burrito and they all tasted great. It was made to order and made fresh. We loved it.

Been going here for a few months and everytime I order I substitute fries for salad when purchasing their fish and chips. Today, that was not an option and the person was very rude and would only allow brussel sprouts as a substitution? Very strange. They lost a weekly customer because of poor customer service. Such a shame to see a great place go downhill. Avoid.

Had a delicious shrimp burrito and the bacon Mac. I hope it will still be here when I'm back in town.
