My girlfriend and I were looking for a nice seafood restaurant to go to. Accidentally, came across this place and was very pleased with everything. The food was great, the service was amazing and the ambiance felt very causal and very clean. They also focused a lot of recycling and proper disposal of your trash after the meal, which we found to be impressive. Not many places do that these days!

EDIT: I went back 3 years later and they no longer serve the poke swimming in mayo 😂🙏 It’s really good when it doesn’t resemble cereal.
I just want to cry over the poke bowl. It’s FILLED with aioli that the 1/2 inch of rice in the box is swimming in it. I know places put their spin on poke bowls, and it’s usually at least okay, but dear lord HOLD THE MAYO. At least the ahi is there. It’s not as marinated as I’m used to for poke.

This is the second visit to Kanaloa Seafood that I’ve done and both times the food is incredible and very fresh .
Laid back no frills outdoor patio with umbrellas for a quick stop while enjoying the freshly made tacos .
This time I chose the Korean Salmon tacos with a refreshing slaw and a very good aioli with kimchi. The salmon is nicely cooked or braised (?) in the sauce making this a desirable taco . Last time I got the swordfish tacos which were equally amazing .
Parking can be a bit tricky but if you go around the block a couple times something opens up .
Will definitely be back here when I’m back to Santa Barbara .

Crispy fish tacos were amazing. Their premium oysters were not different from regular ones I had before, if not smaller. I wouldn't spend money on premium and instead get the regular ones.

Best Poke bowl I've ever had

We are there while on a short trip. The food was excellent and the service was great. Here's the kicker, while there my wife forgot her purse. The young man and another waitress found it. It had all our vacation cash it it. It was over an hour before we went back and got it back with a smile. They were happy to return it, all in tact. Being a retired sheriff, it was so good to deal with these honest young people. They refused a reward, but we forced the issue. Can't wait to go back......

ordered the pesto shrimp pasta, mussels + fries, and two glasses of white wine. it was delicious and I appreciated the generous portions! the mussels were wonderfully sand free. only minor complaint is the mason jars they serve the wine in - a little too reminiscent of a urine sample when you order white wine.

This place has the best poke bowls I’ve found in this area. They also have a very delicious clam chowder with a yummy sour dough bread bowl. The coconut shrimp are amazing and a must get every time I go now.
We visited and ordered the following for our lunch:
Fish and Chips Fishwich Total: $50.04 with tips
We’re looking forward to trying the seafood they're offering because of the great reviews from Google Maps. However, overall, we’re not so pleased with the flavor. Especially with the battered fish, you can't taste the flavor of the fish apart from the fact that it’s deep-fried. The sauces helped to elevate the flavor. The fries were good except for the potato chips. We thought what we ordered was too pricey in terms of quality. The ambiance was great, and the service was all right.

Stopped to buy some fresh fish to grill at home for dinner and got lobster tail, salmon and trout and all were sooooo good. I swear the salmon was the best I’ve ever had. Family loved the trout and lobster tail as well and said how it had such good flavor. Service there was top notch. Everyone very friendly and helpful. We’ll go back to actually eat there sometime but for sure we plan to get fresh fish regularly to cook at home. Really, really good fish and super great, friendly service.
