Been wanting to come here since they've opened since I have been a fan of their location in San Francisco on Irving . Parking was easier to find here than their other location which was amazing. We stopped in for a quick bite and got their guac and chips as well as their fried fish tacos. The chips themselves were fine and deliciously crispy. The guacamole however tasted too salty and citrusy and had lack of better flavor. The tacos were the redeeming factor of this review. The fish was so fresh and the taco was well balanced and bright. Am excited to return when the weather is warmer!
I've visited this place many times and it never disappoints. This time, I tried the fish tacos and they were, hands down, the best I've ever had. The fish is incredibly fresh which really makes it worth the price. The outdoor atmosphere is amazing and there's even a garden open during the day. This has become one of my favorite spots in the Bay Area, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious food and a great atmosphere!
Hook Fish always hits the spot. It's usually packed with no parking or seating, going for dinner on a rainy day is one of the few times parking is easy - like tonight. Their appetizers are a must-try. The chips and guac and ceviche are absolute classics and so fresh. While I've had both their fish plate and tacos, I always come back to the plate--it feels like I'm getting more food, and it's the perfect way to enjoy the incredibly fresh fish. I love the rockfish (grilled fish of the day), but the cod and salmon are always solid choices. I'm usually someone who hates beans, but the black beans are so addicting and delicious. The pickled cabbage is another standout, adding the perfect tangy crunch to every bite. For drinks, I never skip the watermelon fresca. It's refreshing, light, and always hits the spot. The setup is straightforward: pick a table, note the number, head to the counter to order, and let them know where you're sitting. The food is brought to your table quickly, and the service is always efficient, from delivery to cleanup. Hook Fish is far from where I live, but it's always worth the trek. If you're visiting during prime hours, prepare for a wait--parking and seating can be tricky. Once you try Hook Fish, it's easy to see why this spot is a favorite.
Came here for dinner. It was okay, small portions. But I liked the atmosphere enough. And my son liked the grilled fish so that's great! Bathroom needs major work tho, it looks like a park restroom with no up keep. It was odd. See pics
Came here on a Saturday afternoon after a wedding in Petaluma Friday before. We had to wait about 15 minutes to get seated since it was bustling with a lot of people, including families random group hangouts and also a lot of bikers. We ordered the oysters and the chips/guac and we also got the cod burrito, which is not pictured. I would deaf come back again when it's less busy
Great atmosphere and tasty food. The beer garden is a great place for a casual lunch accompanied by a cold drink. I enjoyed their guacamole and their fried fish was fantastic. The oysters were nice too. Service was friendly and although it is popular and busy, it took less than 30 min to get a spot at peak lunch hours on the weekend. Highly recommended if you're in the area.
This was my first time at the Mill Valley location, which has plenty of seating inside and outside compared to the SF location. Also my first time ordering their poke and the fish was super fresh; the salads are also huge! Their pineapple agua fresca was pretty bad -- skip on that.
If you want really good fish tacos in a laid back setting with great craft beers, come to Hook Fish! Everything I ate was delicious here - especially the underrated red curry. For the price you get a good amount! Everything was fresh - there is usually a long wait for a table, but the wait is always shorter than they say. I would definitely come back to this spot!
What I ordered: -Poke and Chips [5/5] -Fish and Chips [4/5] -Grilled fish of the day [4/5] __ My sister took me to Hook Fish, and I absolutely loved it! The ambiance is charming, featuring an outdoor beer garden perfect for enjoying delicious food and drinks on a summer night. The service is excellent; you order at the counter, and they bring your meal to your table. The food is amazing--I'm particularly fond of the fish and chips. It's a great spot to eat and hang out with friends. While they also have a location in San Francisco, I prefer this one for its atmosphere.
