Chula Seafood Uptown

We cannot thank you enough again, especially for noticing a dropped small black wallet next to our table and chasing us down to return it. Bless the thoughtful gentleman who did it without any hesistation. Such a professional and caring employee of yours deserves more than our appreciation!!!

Fresh fish, good food, friendly staff! Today I tried two tacos the fish and also the shrimp street tacos. Both of them were $6 during happy hour. I also had a bowl of clam chowder. All the food was good It was a very lead-back atmosphere I do recommend this place.

This place has been on my radar for YEARS and we finally made it in....I was not disappointed! Shout out to Abbas...dude knows his stuff!!! Very knowledgeable, accommodating, enthusiastic, committed, and honestly so passionate about the brand that you get excited before you even order. Just such a nice guy that elevated the whole experience. Food was so good that it was eaten before I could even take photos. We started with some raw Prince Caspian oysters with all the fixings and the chef's civiche - perfect blend of acid and heat. We also did the Cod Po' Boys and OMG soooooooo good. My husband hates Po Boys and he couldn't stop raving about how good it was - bread was nice and soft, fish was perfectly fried, and it was expertly dressed (just the right amount of slaw and remoulade). Under Abbas's recommendation, we tried the grilled fish tacos and absolute heaven! Fresh Ono flown in from Hawaii, and it truly took me back to the islands. Finished with a delicious orange and pistachio trifle. What a refreshing experience to get truly fresh seafood where care is really taken with the ingredients. We will be back for sure as there are many many more things to sample...and with fresh options, there will always be welcome surprises.

First and last time for me. Friends swore it was the best spot, they love the happy hour on sundays. For the price point here, being told that the main things you were hoping for aren't available should have been enough for me to have just sat things out. But instead I got a handroll for $10 that wasn't rolled and was I guess their version of a handroll? Was hard and messy to eat in that format and far too much rice for a handroll. Then I also tried ordering broccolini, one of my favorite foods, and was told they only had broccoli, but considering the other veggies were brussel sprouts that our table already had an order for to share or slaw/salad, I decided to stick the broccoli. Hey, I get this seems minor right now, but they took a whole crown and stem, cut it into quarters, and steamed it for so long that the florets were mush but the stems were still raw in the middle. I didn't bother talking to anyone, because I didn't care. If no one working realized that broccoli cut in that manner would not cook evenly, then I don't trust anyone behind the counter. Full stop. If you can't handle broccoli, I'm not really going to trust anything more technical.

Management needs to check in with the Sunday crew, they might need someone to check in that they are staying sober during their shifts. A lot of red and bloodshot eyes and having to explain things multiple times.

There are better places to buy seafood from in Phoenix.

Loved my experience at Chula Seafood Uptown. The food was amazing — the shrimp burrito was honestly the best I’ve ever had, full of flavor with perfectly cooked shrimp. The tuna Hawaiian bowl was just as good, super fresh and really well balanced.

The staff was so friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. Also worth mentioning: they’re currently offering $20 free when you buy a $100 gift card, and the special is running through December 31st. It was such a great deal that I bought $300 worth of gift cards. Can’t wait to go back and use them!

I had the California Burrito, and it was delicious! Comfortably filling, split in half, I could only eat one half a day. The combination of perfectly cooked fish of the day and seasoned potatoes was spot on, hearty, flavorful. I’ll definitely be coming back.

The food is always fresh. They have some of the best poke bowls. There is one drink that used to be on the menu called Beaches Be Crazy, which I wish they would bring back. Staff are always super friendly

Tried Chula seafood for first time today. We ordered grilled fish sandwich and two grilled fish tacos. Fish of the day was ahi tuna . Both the sandwich and tacos were very dry and had a fishy flavor which is not normal for ahi tuna. My wife requested blackened on the grilled tacos and they were extremely spicy. Overall a less than stellar first experience.
