Where to Actually Eat on Catalina Island This Summer | Eater LA

"Tucked up off the main drag and beside small cottages, NDMK is a sushi-focused spot where I’ve watched Dodgers games on a big television and enjoyed well-seared fish plates; the large, sometimes extra-saucy rolls and ceviche are satisfying, there’s a hefty fish burrito, and for best effect I’d opt for a grilled fish plate that lets you choose seafood listed by where it was caught, with a solid selection of craft beers including local OverTown Brewing." - Farley Elliott

WOW! A super unassuming, tucked away little place that served our BEST meal on the island. Fish tacos with blackened halibut, ripper roll and b-rock roll. All were absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back!

NDMC Fish House .... A hole in the wall restaurant on Catalina Island that carries a huge stick. I was out here celebrating a friends birthday. After a day of walking around the island it was time to eat. All we saw on the sign outside was "Sushi". We were before the lunch crowd and were immediately sat at a booth. The ambiance and vibe was that of my favorite Sushi house in Kihei, Maui. Kenneth was out waiter... Cool vibe emoting from him. After reading the previous reviews. We followed suit and ordered the halibut fish and chips, ceviche, Fender Hand Roll and Ripper Roll. (You Google reviewers... YOU DID NOT DISAPPOINT.) NDMK Fish House you came in clutch. The food presentation, quality and taste was FEAKING AWESOME. Kenneth you're BADASS!! Thank you for taking care of us. Even though you were mannered by the afternoon crow you still kept you cool and did not waiver on your vibe. NDMK Fish House you've gained a new customer. Mahalos plenty. Mahalos lots.

We got seated pretty quickly and the food was really good, the fried fish collar were really good but the shrimp cost a bit too much for 5 of them

The sign said they close at 8:30 PM. We arrived at 7:45 PM and placed our order immediately. We ordered the kids’ salmon with the sauce on the side, but it still came with the sauce on it. We ordered sushi rolls, and they came out with no ginger or wasabi—we had to ask for it separately. The Mexican server looked visibly unhappy and even threw a tantrum. By 8:35 PM, the bearded server started stacking chairs loudly, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. Please check your cameras, owner. I asked for the bill because the vibe was already so negative, and then I found out they automatically charged us a 20% gratuity. Tips should be earned through good service. Honestly, they’re the only place selling sushi on this island, so if you’re not desperately craving sushi, you’re better off going somewhere else. Their sushi is not bad, but the service is horrible.

Do you like fish? Do you have taste buds? We started with awesome sashimi. Then we went to a fish collar that reminded me of the best "end of a fishing day" grill up. And then it was time for the Catalina Cioppino. This soup will not be found anywhere else in Southern California. There may be similar takes; there may be others with the name; but this, this was divine.

Good place for a shrimp burrito, with some nice flavors but no fresh salsa, not even pico de gallo. I was disappointed with the spicy tuna sandwich. It just didn’t deliver the flavor I imagined it would, and for 20 bucks it wasn’t exactly cheap. Overall a solid spot but would maybe choose different entrees.

Bison burger was a great disappointment. Fries were luke-warm. The halibut was nice and fluffy but lacked seasoning. The nigiri was bomb though.

Highly recommend this place for lunch! The halibut, lobster and shrimp burrito were so fresh and delicious. Da Bomb Shrimp appetizer was so good as well. Great service and ambiance!

November 1, 2025 | Catalina Island Avalon | After spending the day on the island, and before boarding the ferry, I was craving a bite to eat! NDMK Fish House was a wonderful and tasty find! Poke Bowl w/Salmon $23 | Delicious, and plentiful! What a great mix of tasty bites: edamame, seaweed salad, avocado, wonton crisps and Housemade Hawaiian style poke sauce... Score! I opted for the half-and-half; has rice and half lettuce! Perfect! The bowls are quite huge, so I couldn't quite eat it all! While I selected salmon, you can also choose between tofu and tuna! Customer Service | Friendly, welcoming, and helpful with the menu! Seating | Plentiful, as well as seating in front of the window, which looks out at the ocean in the distance! This place became very busy! Decor | Very beach-y! I found myself constantly looking around, especially at the screens as the huge waves flashed across the screens! Overall | Yes, I would definitely love to dine here again and try more items on the menu! Thanks again for friendly customer service and a mouthwatering poke bowl!

NDMK - what a great name! And an amazing lunch spot. We had the poke bowl with tuna. It was amazing - the fish was just caught and the house made sauce was amazing. We were immediately seated and service was excellent - friendly and fast!!

Low-key, easygoing vibe. Impressive menu with both cooked fish & raw sushi. Husband got the locally caught swordfish. Said it was one of the best he's ever had. My sushi roll was creative. One suggestion-they should just serve real wasabi. I didn't order it ($4 extra). Got served the paste version? Didn't taste as good. Would have spent the extra $4, but didn't understand 'til too late. BUT ... their EDAMAME is off-the-chart, on GOOD! Best rendition I've ever had. Try it.

The food here seems more geared towards the locals, though still pretty pricey. The service was great and it had an interesting fusion of Japanese and local seafood. For the cooked fish, it was overcooked by just a bit, as was the lobster. The ambiance was completely casual as it was sear yourself, and the tables were not as clean as everywhere else we went, in fact a bit sticky. Overall worth checking out, but wasn't at the top of our list of places we are at. We might try the sushi next time, but given the state of cleanliness we were a bit skeptical.

Came here after doing the tour of Discover Avalon. I wanted fish and chips. Not very many places I have gone to where they provide a variety of fish to select from for your fish and chips. So I asked our server which fish he recommends. He said that his favorite was the halibut. We took his suggestion and ordered the halibut fish and chips along with the shrimp appetizer. I wasn't sure what to expect because I have ordered cod or rockfish for fish options in the past. Food arrives and both items came freshly cooked. Took a bite of our fish and my Hubby and I were pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Juicy, not dry and batter was perfect balance. Shrimp appetizer was so delicious and the size was not small. Casual setting and it was 1 server the whole time. Food was coming out fast. We highly recommend this place and when we come back to Catalina- we will definitely be back.

We happened upon this local gem for dinner yesterday and we were super delighted with it! Two of us had their local fresh fish - swordfish & halibut, blackened, and it was cooked perfectly. We chose the NDMK fries as our side dish which were a nice spicy twist. Another person had the fresh grilled halibut tacos with side salad. She said both were delicious. Last person ordered the chicken bowl but wasn't happy with it unfortunately. He felt the chicken was bland and the rice was undercooked. Guess he shouldn't have ordered chicken at a fish restaurant. IJS. The restaurant is small and very busy. The server was very attentive and works hard to keep up with everyone. The table next to us ordered the sushi rolls and they looked super great too. When I come back to Catalina this will be one on the first places I visit again!!

Rushed here after 4 hours of doing a discovery dive on Catalina. We were starving. The clam chowder was thick and savory, 9/10! The Fish n Chips were also very good, crispy and juicy and fresh seafood. The fries were ok! Tartar sauce was mid. I will say they definitely upsell you by recommending the Halibut (of 6 fish options), which no one mentions is an extra $6! They also do not have water unless you buy water bottles, I think this is an island thing? Anyways this was a decent stop for lunch. Service was good. Indoors is small but very bright and casual.

Went here for lunch and was blown away by how great it was. Cool ambiance, great service, and great drinks Mela water was excellent Da Bomb Shrimp appetizer was the one weak point. Sauce was excellent but shrimp seemed less fried and more just cooked Sushi was beyond amazing! Some of the best I've had Sea bass with Lemon butter cape sauce was superb!

The food here is pretty tasty! Especially the fish sandwich and fish n chips. I would come back here for sure. It's a great spot for fried fish or blackened fish from different types of fish that you can choose; from Halibut, seabass, mahi mahi to Marlin. They also have poke and sushi here too. One star less because the service was short staffed which meant you have to wait a little bit-- but thankfully not too long. I counted two waiters who were very laid back dudes and attentive enough to take your order. They put out the vibe that they would rather be doing anything else right now :) but they won't ruin your day either; just flag them down if you need anything and they will help. Ambience is a pretty good spot for families and small groups. It's a smaller sit-down restaraunt. The prices here are based on the fish you choose and the market price for the fish that day, so don't be too surprised if the bill is $20 a plate-- that said, it's still pretty good. Come hungry and ready to eat. Not bad NDMK fish House!

We were craving Ceviche and had already been to the Lobster Trap so came here. So glad we did. Ceviche was excellent. So was the Poke bowl and the Yellowtail/Jalapeño roll. Good service, nice beer selection and nice windows for people watching.

Stopped by for a meal and overall had a great experience! The Da Bomb Shrimp absolutely lived up to its name 10/10. Easily the standout dish of the night and a must order if you're dining here. The rice was a bit of a letdown 7/10. It was on the dry side and not the standard white rice I was expecting. Tried the Hand Roll Corner, and it had a really nice balance of flavors 8/10. Fresh and flavorful. The Pier Salad with added grilled salmon was good. The salmon was cooked perfectly and was flaky. They also gave a very big portion of salmon which was nice. The balsamic vinaigrette tied it all together beautifully, however my salad was missing the wonton crisps. Service was friendly and the food came out quickly, which is always appreciated! Would definitely come back

I enjoyed a late lunch here with two other family members. I was really craving some good seafood and this definitely hit the spot. The restaurant has several tables that can accommodate both small and large parties. We were seated right away and our order was taken within 10 minutes of sitting. I ordered the poke bowl with salmon and 2 hand rolls (fender and house). The poke bowl was really good. The fish was really fresh and I really liked the seaweed salad. The wonton crisps added crispiness to a bowl that had soft textures with everything else. The fender hand roll was delicious. The spicy tuna was delicious and even though I would have liked a little more spice, it had some heat. I didn't like the house roll. It had salmon and avocado with chili oil and I didn't really like the blend of flavors. I didn't finish it. All in all, it was a great experience. If I had more time on the island, I would have definitely eaten there more.

If you want fresh, well-prepared fish, this is the place for you. At the advice of 'local' Chuck, bartender at an Avalon sports bar, we visited NDMK (the original, not the topside) on Sunday evening. The server was knowledgeable and provided great information and recommendations which we used when placing our order. It was really hard to make a choice because there were a number of enticing options. I ordered a cup of lobster bisque to begin, the yellowfin fish collar appetizer as an entree, and I added sides of seaweed salad and broccolini. My sweetie ordered the Pier Salad with halibut. We shared a bottle of quite reasonably priced Pinot Grigio. The lobster bisque was a creamy prelude to our meal. It was rich and full of little bits of spiny lobster. It had the taste of a sherry float (IYKYK) on top, although that was not part of their description! The yellowfin collar was lightly breaded and fried...and fabulous. It was beautifully presented with an abstract of dynamite and eel sauces on a gratuitous bed of cabbage. The broccolini came out warm and seasoned with sesame. The seaweed salad was tasty. The Pier salad had a variety of chopped veg and edamame. The tuna wasabi dressing could have been drank with a straw - it was a perfect viscosity and flavor combo for the salad. The halibut chunks on top were divine. They were perfectly charred on grill grates and cooked precisely. The owners have elected to put their investment in the fresh fish they offer. The dining room is simple and diner-like. It was clean and casual. This was a fantastic meal, and we left fully sated..

Took a day trip to Catalina. It was a such a beautiful time. We were hungry and found this place thru Yelp. They had great reviews and wanted to try. There was a wait but we didn't mind. The restaurant is on the smaller size. Our server was friendly. The menu had something for everyone in our party. The food was delicious and def worth trying when visiting this cute island.

NDMK was packed as usual when we arrived but we were able to get counter seating facing the ocean which was cool. We all ordered the Poke bowl. In the past we've had to wait a while to get our food but the bowls came out quickly (I'm thinking because it's a bowl vs rolls). It was very filling with super fresh ingredients and fish caught by NDMK. My kids said it was one of the best they ever had!

Been to Catalina many times decided to try out this fish house amazing food. Great selection of beers had the swordfish sandwich was on point hot fresh lettuce tomatoes were fresh delicious highly recommend you to visit this spot. We staff was quick with our drinks and quick with our food I wish I can give them a six star. I will definitely come back next time in Catalina.

It's been awhile since I've been here, but it's a reliable Avalon standby, and is open more hours in the off-season than their newer sister restaurant, Topside. NDMK's menu is exclusively from the sea and they only serve beer and wine. Topside has a full bar and dishes from land and sea. It also has a view. I ordered several items to go: the seared scallop appetizer, Farnsworth Bank sushi roll, and the grilled fish plate. The scallops were good but I would have preferred a harder exterior sear. The sushi roll was fine, with spicy tuna and shrimp tempura. There was a choice of 8 fish for the grilled fish plate. I chose Pacific halibut with house seasoning (can also order blackened or with lemon butter and caper). The fish was tasty but perhaps a bit overcooked. My side was the NDMK fries, topped with sushi sauce, spicy mayo and green onions, very good. The server/order-taker was helpful and friendly. I recommend both NDMK and Topside.

This place is quite popular, and I'm glad we got in just in the nick of time to get seated before the wait Food was ridiculously good. I had the swordfish tacos and they were sooo very yummy. Fries not so much but I was here for the seafood! The two tacos were quite filling for $21. Husband enjoyed his Farnsworth Bank sushi rolls and his Halibut Fish & Chips. Kiddo thought the chicken tenders were good, although she only ate 1. lol. Service was alright and they were busy so it wasn't top notch, but it wasn't poor. The restaurant is small and there isn't a ton of seating. But food came out quick, tasted delicious and I'd definitely come back again.

Came here for lunch and overall I thought it was pretty mid. Had to wait about ten minutes to get seated on Saturday. When we were seated we ordered immediately. These are the items we got. Clam Chowder Bowl - Bowl? Size wise it looked like a cup. For $12 this wasn't worth it IMO. Flavor were good, it tasted buttery. I just think portion is a tad too small. (3.5/5) Deep Drop Burrito - This burrito was kind of meh. It tasted fine but it was never very memorable. It's just something to make you full. The shrimp is fried but it also seemed it was lacking. Basic flavors, basic burrito. I would pass. (2.5/5) NDMK Fries - I actually liked this. It reminded me of like a sushi roll smothered in sauce but on fries. Basically Fries with spicy mayo and teriyaki/oyster sauce, basically some sauce with umami flavor. It's good and my favorite thing here! (4.5/5) I wanted to enjoy this spot but overall felt it was okay. Maybe it was the items I ordered but overall solid 3 for me.

A great place to enjoy lunch in Avalon! I came to Catalina for a 4-day stay and was impressed eating here. The waiter was attentive and service was pretty quick. We both got the salmon poke bowl, where you can choose a base of rice, lettuce, or half & half. I got the half & half Salmon poke bowl and it was so delicious. The fish was well marinated and the whole bowl was tasty and very filling, consisting of cucumber, seaweed salad, edamame, masago, etc. It was very good for the price! It was a bit busy when we went but it didn't take us too long to be seated. It was average in terms of loudness and they have a menu consisting of sushi rolls, drinks, etc.

This was probably one of my favorite restaurants on Catalina Island. My family and I arrived around 5:30 PM and there was already a huge crowd of people. We got seated within 10-15 minutes but waiting for our food took awhile after we had ordered. We got some of their popular items: poke bowl, fish tacos, fish & chips, and mahi mahi. The decor inside was pretty cool-- they showed pictures of the owner (?) catching a really HUGE fish which was pretty insane! The food itself was super tasty; I really liked their fish tacos. It was so fresh and juicy, lived up to the expectations. I would definitely come back if I'm in Catalina Island.

Like so many Avalon restaurants where the bar is low, here you will get impersonal service, average food and generally a forgettable meal. The French Frys are coated with chemicals to retain crispness and are terrible. I call them Covid Frys since many restaurants started serving them during Covid 19 because everyone ordered take-out and these "fake" frys filled the bill. When traveling to Catalina, bring your own boat if you want good food.

Ugh. I really really really wanted to like this place but if you serve sushi you really should know how to cook rice. The rice was hard as in not cooked all the way through. Our sushi and hand rolls were really hard to eat. I'm not sure I can give this place another chance.

food was decent but we waited ~45 minutes for it which was fine because they notified us that there would be a delay before we ordered but it was still surprising since it was later into the night and there were less people. fries were super good, not soggy at all. buffalo burger was tasty & not dry. poke was good as well! fish tasted super fresh unfortunately some items weren't available because they sold out so definitely come earlier into the day just in case!

We had a great dinner here! I had the ahi tuna poke bowl which was SO fresh and flavorful with an emphasis on sesame oil, which I liked. My daughter loved it as well. My daughter had the swordfish which was hearty and meaty and tasty. It is a small and cute restaurant. There were pictures on the wall of the fish being caught in the wild. I overheard a server say they would even cook up your own fresh catch if you bring it in with you. Would definitely return next time we make it to Catalina!

-1 star because they don't offer free water. Only bottles that you have to purchase. I'm pretty sure this is illegal in California. -1 star because they charge a credit card fee. I had the fish tacos & truffle fries, my husband ordered fish and chips. Both came out hot, good portion size. Good flavor. Minimal inside seating.

Listen- it is HARD traveling with a toddler. The service here is some of the best we have ever received. Family friendly with delicious food is always a winner! She was so patient, and gave us recommendations and accommodations before we even asked. We ordered one sushi roll and the fish and chips and both were absolutely spectacular. I also ordered a side of white rice for my child and she brought an extra round low plate that wouldn't break. It has a casual vibe but the restaurant is well kept, clean, and looks like it was recently renovated. It is close to the ferry so if you arrive starving or want a bite before you go, this is the place!! Did I mention that the fish and chips gives you the choice of type of fish? I had never seen that before but I ordered the halibut per the server's suggestion and all three of us loved it.

No lie - it's a new favorite. We are here twice in on weekend, and eating in restaurants is our main activity when we come to Avalon. The quality of the fish was amazing, and they really live up to their ethos. Definitely recommend the ceviche - it's top notch!

Went here on a Monday at 230 pm and there were seats available. The waiters were nice and informative! The food was good and they sell some beer! It is a casual spot. Considering all the food choices at Avalon, I would rate this as one of the better restaurants. I would come back to this!

I took my girlfriend to Catalina for a special trip and we were here long enough for one lunch so we decided to give this place a try. I think most restaurants on the island are about the same ratings wise so I think you just need to try a place out and we were looking for some seafood. I would address something that other people have complained about which is the water situation. Yes they don't have free water. They only have bottled water. You don't have to buy the water it's your choice. Decor wise it's super basic in a good way. It gives a very much mom and pop vibe which is nice. Service wise, can't really say anything good or bad. It was fine. The real downer would be the food. We got the fish n chips with halibut (Yes our server suggested it but I was going to order it regardless). We also got the ceviche and Farnsworth Bank sushi roll. The best thing was the ceviche. I wouldn't say it was amazing but having mahi mahi was something different. The chips with it were a little stale. The fish n chips were okay. The fries were seasoned and the fish was confusing. I'm very certain that one piece was a different fish. The first 2 pieces were flaky and juicy but the 3rd piece had a completely different texture and was not juicy. I'm certain it was mahi mahi. The sushi was very disappointing. The spicy tuna on top was good and had some good flavor but that's the only good thing about it. The entire roll was just bland. The sushi rice didn't have the vinegar that comes with sushi rice. No saltiness no anything. It was just a roll with zero flavor despite looking tasty. I think it's a bit funny that it boasts using fresh fish but the meal didn't have anything fresh tasting. Maybe it's all fresh and it was just cooked to death. Probably won't be back to Catalina anytime soon as we had to take days off but if we came back, we know where we probably aren't eating here again.

Extremely basic food at an expensive rate. FISH TACOS: tried the sea bass ones and they were okay at best. If you enjoy chipotle sauce it gives a nice added spice but I had to add salt to bring out any flavor FISH AND CHIPS: sucks they had no cod but I order s the halibut and I think if I went with a different fish may have been better. Maybe a mahi mahi or sea bass as well. Fries were so oddly shaped I couldn't really say what kind maybe like steak fries? Still the fish was fresh but not juicy SUSHI: I would say their sushi was pretty good. I would come here for that at least.

Meh. Catalina is not really a foodie's island anyways. Disappointing miso soup (that cost wayyyy too much), okay sushi, and oily seaweed salad. But, I think that you shouldn't come to Catalina expecting stellar Japanese food. The fish tacos, however, met expectations. Good fish and vibrant flavors. Well done. The restaurant doesn't accommodate parties over 6 very well, so if you have more people I recommend trying another place.

Not good. Sushi looked like it was made by an amateur. Served with a fork! No mixing bowl provided for soy and wasabi. Service was marginal. Expensive. Will not return

Honestly this was my favorite food place on the island. The guy that served us was super chill and nice. And the food came super fast ! The place was quiet and wasn't as busy when we went, it was cool. I loved the salmon with the rice and the broccolini and it's making my mouth watery again haha. My boyfriend said he also loved the sushi as well. Also I'm a big chocolate lover and when I tell you that this was the best lava cake I've ever tried in my life, it's actually one of the best. As soon as you take a bite it literally melts in your mouth !!! And I've never had that before, it's perfection. Im definitely coming back.

Food was great! We came later in the evening and they were still quite busy. We ordered all together as they have their menu posted outside; drinks and appetizers took little time and the mains followed. The fish tacos were Maui Maui and the sushi had shrimp and a yummy sauce. The ceviche had homemade tortilla chips and i actually liked the no salt added. Overall super good; would recommend.

The food was OK wasn't anything fancy of a sushi spot in Catalina Island it was mediocre too much hype but overall was good food not gonna complain. The only issue was wish they would've attended to us. More wasn't that busy they forgot to give us our sodas and still charge us but we caught it and they provided us to go cups for our soda. It was great i got a rainbow row and fish tacos

Stumbled upon here in Catalina. Service is a bit slower, but understandable since it looked like they are short on staff. Enjoyed the clam chowder quite a bit. Wished the poke bowl came with a sauce to tie everything together.

We got a couple of rolls just before we left the island. It was good and we will have to try more when we come back. If I was you I would give it a try. It was way better food than some of the fancier looking places we tried that day.

If you're roaming around Catalina Island and need a good seafood fix, NDMK should definitely be on your radar. It's one of the top three spots to eat in Avalon, mainly because the food is so good. We had the swordfish and the ahi tuna poke bowl, and both dishes were super fresh and tasty. Even though all the fish they use is not local a good part of it is. The place itself is alright - nothing super flashy, but clean enough. The service is pretty standard; nothing to write home about but it does the job. The prices aren't too steep either, which is always a plus. All in all, NDMK's great food makes it totally worth a visit while you're on the island.

So, once again, wonderful staff. Laid back and polite. Attentative and helpful. The sushi was super fresh and really delicious. We ordered the salmon, the tuna and the yellow tail. My only critique of im asked would be less rice on the nigiri and thicker slices of that delicious fish. The Wasabi and pickled ginger, both very nice and I love how they serve low sodium soy sauce. They offer a seared option for $1 more, which i was tempted to get but would have preferred if they offered like a peppered option or like some sort of season with the sear. Ordered some fries. Cooked crisp. Fresh. Only critique would be to salt the fries. Otherwise, it truly was a cool vibe, staff was cool and music was also a cool lol vibe and feel. Besides the above wish list items, all the food around me looked great! Try them out!

We loved coming to this spot for lunch. The fish and chips were fresh and having the NDMK fries were a flavor I never knew I needed till know. Loved the cozy vibe and beer selection.

Was a little skeptical about the price, because $23 for a poke bowl seemed a bit high, but portions, although not justifiable, were quite substantial. Food was very salty but the service was good.
