Uncle's Fish Market Bar & Grill

Server was nice at the bar.I always looked forward to coming.But realized my garlic ahi didn't taste and look the same.Sauce was definitely not the samePiece of ahi wasn't seasonedThe plate for 38$was horribleI didn't even finish itNot even a to goIt was horribleAfter reading its new ownersExplains whyThey took that sauce recipe with them lol!Because i will never come back.Very sad because it was deliciousBut they were known for that sauce!

I held off on this review because of a visit in September, and had hoped that was a one-off, unfortunately it wasn't. Learned a few things on this visit, and while the service was on point, as it always is, the food quality was less than expected and for the cost of some of the items, there was some loss of stars. If Yelp did half stars, I'd give it a 2.5. We arrived for a celebratory early meal and as soon as I sat down, I called our server over and asked her, "Sis, did you guys resolve the bacon issue?" in my most serious voice of concern. She immediately understood what I was referring to and replied, "No, sis. it's still the same, we have new owners and so some of the menu items have changed. You can order extra bacon if you want, I can check how much that might cost." I reluctantly agreed to see how much that might be. Others in our party asked about the fish tacos, and were informed that the sauces were slightly different, but the rest of the plate was still relatively the same. They both ordered the fish tacos. We also learned the new owners took over in September, (which was when we last ate at Uncles, which is when I had hoped it was just a glich and I didn't want to give a meh review for that visit that was out of the ordinary)We started with some drinks and the poke tower which no longer has sushi rice, and patiently waited for our meals to arrive. I got the bacon crab and avocado sandwich with extra bacon and my meal partners ordered the fish tacos. I'd like to invite you, gentle reader, to peruse the picture section to see what the Bacon Crab and Avocado Sandwiches used to look like, prior to September 2024. Those piggies were healthy, thick cuts of bacon. I'd also like you to take a look at the older pictures of the fish tacos, there used to be 3 tacos and alas, there are only 2. I do not know when the tacos went from 3 to 2, but the bacon was around September. (insert really sad face)When the food came out, some of the bacon was hanging out of my sando, so I took a little bite of it, and it caught me off guard because it was sweet. Like maple bacon. So I had my seat mate take a bite, just in case I was imagining it, and I wasn't, it was sweet. My meal partners were pleased with the tacos, noting that the new sauces were not too different, but they did notice that there was only 2 tacos when there used to be 3. A plate was ordered to go, and it was a special Opakapaka plate ordered on a separate tab. When the two bills came, one bill was paid via debit card and had no additional charges, but the second take out plate had an additional 2.5% charge on it for a credit card fee and the special plate was $68 (which seemed a tad overpriced for a piece of fish, one scoop of rice and some asparagus...yes it was a large piece of fish, but not nearly a price tag of $68 imho). Apparently if you pay with a debit card, no additional charges, but with a credit card expect to pay an additional 2.5% in fees. Service is always on point here, I do hope they figure out how to keep with the Uncle's quality of food as they work out the transition of new ownership.

Unfortunately it seemed to me that the food quality had gone downhill since I last ate here (before the pandemic).My clam chowder was larger than I expected but did not have much clams at all. It was mostly potatoes, thick and just wasn't satisfying.The fish of the fish & chips entree wasn't quite what we expected as well. The fish looked more like portly fish sticks (instead of the typical serving of fillets at other restaurants) and was lacking in crunch. The side of fries were much crispier in comparison. Service at least was friendly, live music was playing but not enough to make up for the food.Note: If paying by credit card then be aware that they add a surcharge to your bill. Nothing was said when our credit card was taken so we saw it after we got the slip to sign. Annoying.There are better seafood places out there so we will not be returning.

There was a change of ownership several months ago and the menu changed slightly but still got all your favorites. There's even some new stuff like the tomahawk steak. My absolute favorite is the poke tower. They now have a happy hour from 3-5 daily. We got the truffle fries, chicken wings, chicken potstickers off the happy hour menu and the poke tower. Everything was delicious. Wings were crispy and tasty and so were the popstickers. The poke tower is always delicious. Maybe one day will get the tomahawk for 2.

Uncle's Fish Market & Grill was extremely underwhelming! I went to have dinner here with a large group and when we arrived, our table was ready for us. The waitstaff were friendly, but inattentive at times. Most of the food I tried was super bland and no one in my party cared for it. I think the French Fries were the best menu item I had.I had the Mahi Mahi with lobster and mushrooms and the Ahi Poke. The Ahi Poke was actually good too, but the Mahi Mahi was bland. It didn't taste good even after I added salt & pepper.I do not recommend this place and would not go back.

I have been wanting to try this place for a long time, but my spouse doesn't like seafood much. I've been on a clam chowder kick for a minute, and we decided to finally go here specifically for the seafood chowder. Firstly, there were hardly any customers when we arrived. The waiter sat us at a table that was just wiped down and it was still wet when he put down the paper napkins and menus. My spouse took one of the napkins and wiped it down with the napkin provided because it kind of grossed us out. We asked for another set of napkins... the waiter came by and took our orders. He seemed annoyed to be there. We felt like an inconvenience.The other half can polish off drinks like it's nobody's business. I was especially thirsty as well because I was doing yard work prior to going out to eat. We shamelessly downed our soda, I was on a second refill and my spouse on his 4th, and the waiter told us he'd have to charge us for more drinks because the refills are not unlimited. Ok. We switched to water. The food, with the exception of the fries which were delightfully crispy, was disappointing and therefore we deemed it to be extremely overpriced. My Seafood Chowder was more like a vegetable chowder with very little seafood in it, and the toast was just Texas Toast. Although the burger looked nice, it had no flavor to the meat. When asked if we wanted a dessert menu, it was already a total "no" for us. We have no desire to ever return to this establishment again. Even if the service had been impeccable, the food was unsatisfactory.

Service was fine, place was clean. Found fish bones in my chirashi which was a bit disappointing.

I came to Uncles a couple of months ago for my first time at that location. I've been to the one they used to have on Nimitz a few times and I thought it was pretty good. This location is in Pearlridge, downtown, I believe. Not really familiar with that mall since I don't frequent it much. It's like on the side they have Sears. Uncle's is a pretty big restaurant. I made a reservation online and we were seated right away.The staff was friendly and the service was pretty quick. The prices on the menu was a little pricey from what I would normally spend for lunch. I was kind to disappointed that they didn't have a lunch menu. I think the last time I went to Uncle's I had the pasta. It was so good. I saw it on the menu and was nearly floored. It was like $40 for that pasta for lunch. So I didn't get that. Instead I got the fish and chips.The fish and chips were okay. It was a good size portion and I didn't finish so I took some home. I think I was secretly wishing to eat the pasta but then got stuck with the fish and chips, sad face. The fish and chips itself was $28. I think Uncle's was okay. I think if they offered a lunch menu or if I came for dinner, I might come again.

I liked the crab salad I had on my 1st visit. 2nd visit...it was good but not as good as 1st time. Now this question is in general...to ALL restaurants who do this...For Lge grps they automatically add 18-22% tip.The amt of tip is fine as we usually tip btwn 15-30% anyway( leaning higher for the finer dining or more labor intensive service. I think to "automatically Add" somehow implies we might not tip at all? IDK if that's a good idea... an inefficient unfriendly server will also recve 22%(?) LUCKILY, Not the case HERE!! ALL SERVERS HAVE BEEN GREAT!! Well deserving of a tip so be generous HERE!! Maybe I'll try something else next time. Everything else looked great...fish tacos, fish & chips, that combo seafood fry, the fish entree...

The potatoes were raw and had to be microwaved. 3 olives were requested with my martini, but it was served with only one initially. Many customers got up and left before ordering. Something is wrong there besides being too expensive for what you get. Will not go there again.
