Kim’s Fish Market

Always a great choice when you are in the «urban» part of South L.A. Fish is fresh, the owners are friendly and the menu has prices that can’t be beat!
If you are ready for flavor in your mouth, from the seasonings and tartar sauce… Don’t pass this place up.
They do overload your plate with fries (in which I rarely get) and they do charge extra for sauces. Not a problem!!! :)
Parking is on the street and don’t mind the little crazy people who walk pass. Order your food and go… They no longer have a place to sit but who cares?

It’s okay in a pinch and close to my house. I grew up in Carson and prefer Family Fish to anything, I’m also not really a fan of Imperial fish market at all, so this is the only thing I’ve found close to home to hit that fried fish craving. Kim’s is okay if you ask for extra seasoning other than that it’s bland. I also ask that they fry my oysters hard, and i prefer their Louisiana style oysters (the tiny ones) to the larger variety so that’s a plus. They are consistent pretty speedy with good service and close to home

Looking for a bomb hood fish spot? Keep looking because this isn’t your spot. I decided to give Kim’s a shot after one of my coworkers raved about how amazing this joint was, however, I was extremely disappointed. I ordered ahead and picked up a tilapia fish lunch. The tilapia was nicely fried and it wasn’t greasy– points for that! However, it lacked seasoning!!! I kept having to dunk the fish in hot sauce to enjoy it– I consumed more hot sauce than fish. The fries were bland as well– how do you mess up fries!!! Especially hood fries.
I’m disappointed, but, might consider visiting again since there aren’t many options in this neighborhood– at least it’s better than McDonalds and Subway.
P. S. The place is a bit sketchy so order ahead.

This place was ok… Got the red snapper lunch. Nothing stood out about the food (mediocre)… I gave it two stars instead of three because the place looked a bit dirty and smelled weird. I was hesitant to order considering the cleanliness… probably wouldn’t try it again.

The Best fish spot in Los Angeles the fish is always fresh and the shrimp are to die for! The prices are just right. I love Kim’s Fish Market.

Nothing amazing about this place if you had one fish market you had them all in Los Angeles! No special touch or stand out seasoning just fried and piled on top of mushy salad and bland fries!

This place is AMAZING! Cute fish n chips shop run by nice Korean couple. I’ve posted the photos of their menu and you can see how affordable it is to eat really fresh and delicious fish! I’ve become pretty sensitive to fish ever since I changed my diet, but this place is somewhere my body can tolerate which proves how fresh their food is.
Important tips:
–Bring cash! Unless you have a EBT card
–Make sure you give them a call ahead because they make everything made to order. They can get really busy during lunch and dinner time!
My favorite is the fried shrimp and filet of sole. The dinner roll you get with each meal is seriously addicting!!! If I’m eating with more than 2 people, I always get the fried rice because the portions are huge, but tastes amazing. I usually do take out because the location is a little run down but I’ve never had a problem getting in and out. Everyone working here are so nice and they all greet you with a smile. I make a weekly trip here for my family so I’ve gotten to know the owner who is always super sweet. They really love what they do and you can see it in the quality of their food.

This place is BUMPIN yo. If you and your friends got nothing to do on a Friday or Saturday night, this is the place to be. Great prices too.
I’ve been here a few times, and just a tip… the owner of the restaurant has a ugly son who visits from time to time. Just be careful

It was pretty good fish I had gotten the sole filet the only fish I get but the location is pretty sketchy so I would recommend you call ahead but overall the food was good ill be coming back to try there fried rice oh and another downfall is no credit/​debit card only EBT/​cash accepted here

Delicious food, great prices, big servings! Everything you can ask for.
Try their lunch specials, I bet it will make you full AND happy.
Their fried rice is really good and the burritos are bomb. Try those next time after having the fish and shrimp. Only complaint is that its hard to find parking (not their fault though) so I usually end up parking across the street. It is a slightly ‘ghetto’ area but the food is definitely worth it. I go out of my way to stop by here whenever I can.
ps. make sure you come hungry or else you won’t be able to finish everything!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!
If you want some Southern fried food cooked by the sweetest Korean lady ever, come to Kim’s! The catfish is super tender, and even though everything is fried, my arteries don’t feel like they’re clogged with oil.
P. S. I’ve been here a few times, and just a tip… the owner of the restaurant has a pretty cute son who visits from time to time. I’d definitely come back just to see him.

«IT’s SO BIG!» That’s what she said. No really, that’s what she said, and then we went to Kim’s Fish Market, and then she was like «WOW THE PORTIONS ARE SO BIGGG!»
In all honesty, I found this restaurant with some friends on vacation. We saw it and thought it was a little sketch and run down. We decided to eat here because some guy we asked for directions recommended this place for lunch. When we sat down and ate, and the food came, it was AMAZINGGG (that’s what she said). The portions were huge, and the smell by itself was incredible. We bought burritos, cat fish, and fried chicken. Individually they were fantastic. But you HAVE to try them together (stick the chicken and fish inside the burrito). TRUST, you won’t be disappointed.
This place is unbelievable. When my friends and I got back to Nor Cal, we started craving this diamond in the rough of a restaurant; we made a road trip down to So Cal again just to have their catfish, chicken, and burrito combo (stick the fish and chicken in the burrito).

I am from the LA area and I generally am not a big fan of fish unless I am eating near the beach of course. A friend suggested this to me one day, and it is good enough for me to write my first Unilocal review. Their fish is other wordly and if you try it, you’ll know what i mean. The pricing is also very generous for the amount of food, and last but not least, the lady that runs this joint is one of the nicest you’ll ever meet. I’ll be sure to be grubbin at this place a lot.

One of the most awesome place I have been to in LA… it’s just simply bomb… I have never been a huge fan of fried fish until I tried Kim’s. I recommend everyone whos close to the area to definitely take a look at this place.

hands down best selection and best tasting food in la! enough said

My friend brought me here last week and totally loved it. It’s my first time doing a review but the fish was just way too good to not write about it. I couldn’t believe it was so cheap.

You really haven’t had fish chips till you’ve come here. This place isn’t some shitty chain fast food; authentic home recipes at bargain prices. I left with more money than I walked in with; especially with the meal I got (the combo in the picture). I’ve only been there twice but you can bet when I’m looking for a meal for less i’m stopping back here. If you’re heading down on 107^th it might be hard to see cause the sign’s not huge but it’s worth the hunt. Also, go EARLY, this place is POPPIN; no joke lines out the door during lunch.

Hands down the best restaurant I’ve been to in LA. Quality food for a great price and nice setting. Once you read this you won’t need to continue looking for restaurants or reviews on Unilocal.
Btw, great place to take a guest, girlfriend, or boyfriend on a date with a really nice environment and still save some money

This place is legit as it gets. Infrastructure a little run-​down but food is awesome. Everything is very well priced. If you wan’t some good fish for the money, you need to go here. Lunch special legit man. Dinner special too. You HAVE to try them burritos too as well as the fried chicken. Amazing. Imma be goin often. This place isn’t really a market where you buy fish. It’s more of a restaurant cause they only sell cooked food. Anyways, if you live in the area, try it out!

Yall aint knowin bout this spot I mean HOOOD as it gets! Ok keepin it real this hood chick I know asked me to do her a favor and for the favor she offered lunch COOL it was this past Friday and I am like I want some fish, she’s like bet I gotta spot and they take EBT for yall who dont know that means (food stamps) movin on we get to the spot and its between a old tv repair shop and some hood mini mart looks like a old check cashing spot but whatever pop in its more people up in here than the DMV they have a lunch special $ 4.95 2 pieces of any kind of fish 5 medium shrimp fries hush puppies and a roll and a canned soda off the dayum hook! There shrimp are so bomb shrimp sauce and tartar sauce just awesome and the price is under $ 10 for some great fish so if your ghetto pass is still valid roll through and git you some good fish oh and dont forget ya EBT card LOL!
