This is our favourite date night restaurant in Vancouver! The service is always amazing and the food is fantastic.

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!!!

Great service to accompany the creative and delicious dishes. Really enjoyed the daily specials like Swordfish Diane! Finished the meal off with a chocolate ganache dessert. We look forward to coming again to try even more.

Oh my goodness where to start with this place?! It was October 29th and I had started a new job and my friend wanted to go for dinner to celebrate my new. I looked for a place not downtown but close to Burrard St. that had fish as a majority menu item. Also it had to have had 4.4 or more stars. I have high standards for celebrations :). Google maps showed me this place “Oddfish”, the menu was a perfect pescatarian diet, with lots of vegetables with bold flavours. When I arrived, they only had one table left on the patio, I took it! While I waited for my friend our lovely communicative waiter gave his suggestions and started a soothing conversation. My job is high volume and I needed a soothing place. Oddfish did more than deliver. I didn’t even know it was cold outside, the autumn Old Fashioned soothed my nerves, and felt cozy, while I relaxed, people watching on a late October evening. When my friend arrived she opened the menu and jokingly asked for everything on the menu. It was the first time we had been to a restaurant that spoke to our preferred diets. We had the Ahi Tuna Tataki, the Burratta toast, Halibut & Shrimp Ceviche, Roasted Beets, and Seared Scallops. We sat there dissecting the flavours, and enjoying everything that crossed our pallets. We shared it all and we were so full that we were more than content and just didn’t want to leave. We had long drives home to the burbs, so we knew the clock would strike soon enough for us to leave. Thank you Oddfish and your chef Etienne Buddingh, We haven’t stopped raving about this restaurant and we truly can’t wait to return. ✨
Wheelchair accessibility: I have a torn knee and walk with a brace on my knee and a cane, and it was all the same level even to the patio, I just can’t remember if there was an accessible washroom. I would call and ask.
Sat outside on their heated patio, amazing service , delicious food. Smaller portions but packed with flavour. Their fries are the obvious must have as an appy! Branzino had the perfect crispy skin, and to too it off the sticky toffee pudding was to die for

Have dined here 3 times in the last couple years and each time is fantastic. I didn’t even notice until last night that they don’t even have meat on the menu. No one including my meat loving husband missed it though!
The burrata as a starter is a must have. I’ve had both the honey pistachio and the seasonal pea mint one. Perfect. I didn’t even like burrata before this.
The fresh pasta makes a nice side dish with a veggie side too. We shared the halibut but I could have eaten it all!
For dessert we had the salted caramel bowl of heaven (not actual name). The only other dessert I’ve had elsewhere that is better than this is the date pudding at Rim Rock Cafe.
Update: still going to this amazing restaurant, it’s hard to find spots thay are consistently this superb for both food and service. We’ve been back probably 3-4 times in the last couple years. We live about an hour away now in traffic but just made the trek out to meet friends here and everything was delish. The burrata continues to be a fave, and I was very impressed with the scallops too. I see a lot of the same severs that have been there for years which is always a good sign too. If the owners see this - please consider opening a second location in north van!!
Beyond the food, the servers are all very friendly and attentive. The vibe is “as casual or as dressy as you want”. Very Vancouver.
I’d you make a reso for the patio know that most of it is covered/enclosed from rain and there are heaters, I was warmer out there than I often feel indoors!

The food and atmosphere is good but it's overpriced relative to the value you get compared to other high end restaurants in Vancouver.

ODDFish is an absolute gem! From the moment we sat down, we were blown away by the quality and flavor of everything we tried. Their bread alone was a standout – warm, perfectly crusty, and served with a divine spread that set the tone for the meal. Each dish that followed was a masterpiece, from the freshest seafood to the most deliciously seasoned vegetables. We sampled a wide range of dishes from their menu, and every single one was top-notch. And don’t even get me started on the desserts – indulgent, creative, and the perfect way to end the meal. If you’re looking for a place where every bite is bursting with flavor and crafted with care, ODDFish is a must-visit!
