    Everything we ordered was perfect. The sole, the halibut, the ahi tuna tostadas and the carrot side dish - all spectacular. The dessert was ok but nothing special. Love this place

    I always enjoy the food at Oddfish, particularly since I don't cook fish well and the chef does. Thoroughly enjoyed everything and the meal was made even more pleasurable by our server, Richard, who was friendly without being intrusive and gave advice and information on both the wine and the entrees. The only downside to our meal was the noise level, caused, in part by a table of seven nearby which included one overly enthusiastic young woman whose speech always seemed to err on the side of "dramatic." Oddfish is probably my favourite restaurant in BC and we always return when we are visiting Vancouver. Thanks, as always. Michael

    OddFish is a true neighborhood gem! Always love dining here…great people, fun environment, and delicious food. Even the most meat focused caveman would appreciate their fish based options. Very few restaurants in town consistently deliver a great experience - but they make it look easy. You have to try the grilled squid salad with fish sauce. Lights out good.

    I have been going to Odd Fish for many, many years after work for drinks and appies (fries are the best!) as I work nearby. Their customer service is always AMAZING. It’s a true gem in Kits! Do yourself a favour and give them a go…. You’ll be happy you did!!!
