Nopa Fish - Reviews

My experience at Nopa Fish, located inside the San Francisco Ferry Building, was a pleasant one. It's a modest seafood sandwich shop surrounded by a lively mix of artisanal food vendors. A short walk to the back of the building offered a scenic view of the ferry terminal and the Bay Bridge, which added a quintessentially San Francisco touch to the experience. I tried the grilled tuna sandwich ($25), which offered a pleasing balance of textures — crisp on the outside, tender and moist within — and a subtle complexity of flavor. Overall, it was a satisfying choice worth 3½ stars. On my next visit, the seafood salad will be at the top of my list.

My experience at this restaurant was a mix of good food and a truly awful service. The food was really good, and the atmosphere was vibrant, typical for the ferry building. However, the service was God awful and ruined the whole experience. As I was finishing my last bite, a staff member abruptly grabbed my plate, utensils, and napkins without waiting for me to finish swallowing or even wipe my mouth. They then had the audacity to ask me to leave immediately to free up the seat, despite there being other empty seats nearby. I believe it's essential to allow customers a moment to finish their paid meal before being asked to vacate. Due to this rough treatment, I will be asking for my tip back.

My experience at this restaurant was great for lunch. I had the tuna melt, which was amazing, and the poke bowl was delicious. I would recommend skipping the potato chips as they were nothing special. Overall, a very positive food experience.

My experience at this restaurant blew away all my expectations! The entire staff was incredibly professional and passionate about their food. While the menu was short and sweet, everything served was at an elevated level. I had the best tuna melt of my life, and my partner's fish and chips were also incredible. Although it's a relaxed, fast-casual space, the pricing reflects the zip code and the elevated quality of everything. Job well done!

My experience at the restaurant was largely positive, especially with the food. The smoked trout latke was absolutely awesome, with every component being excellent. I will definitely be getting it every time I go. The fish chowder was solid, though it felt a little two-dimensional. The potato chips were very good, and my friends raved about the tofu sandwich. Overall, a great meal with some standout dishes.

My Saturday afternoon visit to Nopa Fish involved a short wait to order, but finding a seat was much more challenging, requiring me to hover near tables where people seemed to be finishing. The side station for water and utensils also became congested with diners awaiting their food. However, the food itself was a highlight. The House Smoked Trout Latke tasted sweet from the beet hummus, and the Conserva & Pan Con Tomate was delicious. The Pristine Fish over Sushi Rice offered a delicious, fresh taste. My only minor complaint was that the glass of Rose seemed a bit small for the $16 price point. Overall, it was a very good first visit.

My experience at the restaurant involved trying the wild rockfish sandwich, which was pretty small for $23. Otherwise, the food was okay, though a bit oily as everything is fried de rigueur. The service and atmosphere were rated a 4.

My experience at this restaurant was outstanding! It was by far the best meal we had on our trip. I highly recommend the fried rockfish sandwich and the smoked trout latkes. The order of fries was generous and came with a super-tasty aioli. The service was fantastic, and we loved sitting indoors under the skylight.

I was amazed by my experience at this restaurant. Despite living nearby for five years, I had mistakenly assumed it was only for tourists. Today, I decided to try it and was truly impressed by the flavor and freshness of ingredients. There's a subtle Italian and Asian fusion happening, which I loved. The chef was also very friendly and funny. I highly recommend this place.

This place makes me excited to go to the ferry building 🐟. The rockfish sandwich is my go-to, but I’ve loved every dish I’ve had. The service is great and I always leave wanting to immediately come back.
