I am so lucky that my wife had a craving for Thrifty's ice cream today! As we were leaving, we found Fanta-Sea Grill! I've been craving seafood and like magic, we found a delicious and healthy restaurant. The owner recommended a fresh and delicious salad with crispy panko breaded shrimp. It was so delicious, with perfectly balanced flavors, that I want more! I can't wait to go back for their lobster pasta and crab pastas and everything else on their menu!

I'd give 5 stars for the red cod and the mushroom salad alone .Fanta Sea grill is all about the food ! This is literally a mom and pop joint serving fresh seafood prepared with a homestyle vibe . The lobster with cream sauce was all that I knew it would be . So was the salmon pasta which had a somewhat spicy yet tasty sun dried tomato essence .The star of the show however was the steamed Red Cod and mushroom salad . Both of those dishes were nothing short of amazing . The cod was cooked perfectly and the sauce with these little green olives came together in a way that's just simply to die for. The mushroom salad which is a medley of mushrooms and veggies is sooo delicious and a perfect way to start the meal . If you're in the area give them a try !

My lady and I have been wanting to come here since COVID due to their fantastic reviews on various social media platforms, but this establishment was closed for a long while during COVID. Today we finally had the chance to try, and the overall experience was just so so. While the food was pretty good, it was not as good as we had thought from the rave reviews. The long wait time between food and the use of paper plates was quite off putting. We had to request for the side salad that was supposed to come with the sandwich because the server assumed that we didn't want it since we ordered the 3 mushroom salad. Portion-wise, it was just average... had we just ordered 2 entrees we may still be hungry. Many patrons are Taiwanese, probably to support local Taiwanese mom n pop shops. I am adding an extra star to support as well :)

It seems I have passed by this place for decades on my way to Urban Pet. It didn't seem to be open all the times I walked by. It's a little hole in the wall that is easily missed. I was finally able to check this wonderful restaurant out after moving from the area. It was worth the wait. We had their signature Three Mushroom Salad, Salmon Pasta, and Clam Pasta. Everything is cooked in a flavorful broth (my sister saw Swanson's broth being used) without butter, MSG, or shortening. Light and healthy. Their Warm Mushroom Salad is a must have for the table to share. It has enoki, portobello, and button mushrooms cooked in broth served on top of mixed greens and topped with toasted seaweed and sesame seeds. A very tasty salad and would make a nice lunch by itself if you don't want to share. The Salmon Pasta had a generous amount of salmon in a sun dried tomato and basil sauce. The sauce had a slight kick to it, not too spicy at all. The pasta was cooked to al dente. The Clam Pasta came with a creamy wine and basil sauce. Very light and not a heavy dish to make you feel too full. The clams had a nice, fresh briny flavor. This is definitely a restaurant that warrants a return trip. I will try the recommended Lobster Pasta next time. It is only open Tuesday through Saturday so be sure to catch it when it is open. Plenty of parking in the back since it shares the shopping center with Urban Pet and Rite Aid.

IT's OPEN AGAIN! The restaurant you loved pre-COVID is back and better than ever. I had the mushroom salad. Light yet filling. Delicious. I loved it and can't wait to go back and chow down on the salmon pasta. A cool place with a cool vibe.
