Reviews for Chula Seafood in Scottsdale, AZ
It's ok. I'd love for it to be as good as the zeitgeist line seems to think it is, but it just isn't. It's also extremely... expensive for a) what you get and b) the extremely casual ambience. The last time I was there my 7 year old daughter and I split6 oysters ($24), a very bland and artless poke bowl ($22) and a bowl of clam chowder $($11). With a couple of soft drinks and atip that was $75 for a very casual lunch where you order at the counter. And it was just ok. It would be one thing if it wasfantastic, but I've never had anything particularly great there in the three times I've been there. And seriously,$4 per oyster? They are $3 at Eddie Vs and that's for a white tablecloth fine dining experience, not a lunch counter with surly service. Ihave zero problem paying a lot for food when it's high quality or a very charming atmosphere but sadly, this is neither. I haveno clue why the locals think this is so good. Perhaps Its the novelty of a "seafood market" in the desert. But in any case, Idon't think I'll be going back. Read more
I've come here a couple times now, but am always thinking about their poke bowls and recommending them to friends. It's so fresh... for this area. Whatever fish you get in the poke bowl will melt in your mouth, it's fantastic. I also like their unique rotatingitems like the crab grilled cheese. It's cozy, the staff is helpful and nice, and this is the best seafood I've ever had besidesfresh caught while on the coast. The only downside is the price - but frankly, it's understandable why and the portions arewithout a doubt large and generous with the good stuff. I can't recommend this place enough. I crave it all the time. Read more
The darker salmon is called Kyles Candy. I couldn't figure out how to bring it all with me on the plane otherwise I would have... bought the entire stock of it. The bowls are great. Sushi was fresh. Can't say enough good things about this place. Read more
Such a cool place with a cool story. All of their fish are harvested sustainably in California. Their poke bowls are fantastic... and loved the sampler plate as well. So many flavors. Only downside is how pricey everything is, but that's to be expected for alocal sustainable joint. Read more
With tip, I spent $50 on lunch, but it was worth it. I got 6 Great White oysters, the green chile tuna melt and a cup of the... most delicious clam chowder I've ever experienced. Sure, it doesn't come cheap, but if you're looking to impress someone ortreat yourself, get over here and throw a dart at the menu. It's all so good! I signed up for their loyalty program so we'll seehow that shakes out. Read more
One of my favorite places for a poke bowl! We heard the reviews and had to give the place a try. We first went on a Saturday and... the line was out the door. We waited and determined it was definitely work the wait. They had a guy shucking oysters and it wasas friendly as they come. Asked us if we were going to order some oysters and let us know he would get going on the order beforeeven ordering so we didn't have to wait long. Once we reached the counter, the joy continued. Happy employees happy to beserving customers. What a delight! We were handed our beers at the counter and then didn't wait too long and then began toindulge on our delicious oysters. A few minutes later, our poke arrived and it was fabulous. A few days later, we were back formore poke! It was early evening on a Tuesday so much less of a crowd but just as delicious. This place is truly a gem thatshouldn't be missed! Read more
Great local place, with fresh fish flown in daily from San Diego. Never frozen. Can get lots of variety to go and packed on... ice. Or you can have lunch there...mostly poke bowls etc. They will also tell you how you can prepare and grill or bake yourfish. Read more
Awesome lunch. We ordered the green chilli albacore tuna melt and Korean Poké Bowl. We highly recommend this place.
