About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
At Opah Restaurant & Bar, we serve the finest fresh fish in Orange County. Carefully hand selected each day to deliver the best quality available. The menu is exquisite, featuring edible works of art, that look so good the could be on a magazine cover. Don't forget to try one of our signature Award Winning Martinis. If you wondering how we came up with the name Opah. It comes from the Hawaiian word for Moonfish, which was once viewed as Good Luck by fisherman, & often given away as a gesture of Good Will.

    We had a great dinner at OPAH last night. Oysters, chicken meatballs, Maui onion soup, Caesar salad, ahi and salmon were all expertly prepared and delicious. Joe the owner, Koz the waiter/bartender, and Enrique the manager all made sure we had a wonderful experience. We will recommend OPAH to our friends, and come back again ourselves. Thank you.

    Outside seating. Good food. Good value for the food. Took awhile to get our to-go order. Would come back for a casual dinner.

    Always a great go to for a great meal. We were a party of 6 and were seated by the kitchen and bathrooms so the ambiance wasn't as good as usual. Still enjoyed our food though.

    They have consistently terrific food. The salmon salad is my summer favorite and crab cakes for comfort food. Nothing beats the chocolate bread pudding!

    Every dish my family have ever tried there is reliably delicious! The fish & chips are fabulous; the candied salmon salad is phenomenal; the red curry & coconut mussels are amazing; and my personal favorite entree there is the toasted garlic salmon with coconut jasmine rice. The parker house-style appetizer rolls alone are worth making a reservation!
