The Scene – This small 40-seat restaurant is situated on the lower level of the tony Carmel Plaza shopping area. Japanese minimalist decor is livened up with ornate Balinese animals on the walls and colorful flying fish hanging from the ceiling. Owner-chef Kenny Fukomoto and wife, Tina, often mix with guests, while friendly staff is eager to suggest a favorite dish, recommend sake or offer day-trip destinations. – – The Food – In an inspired (and irresistible) Asian take on chips and dip, meals start with fried wonton chips dunked in fresh ginger salsa with minced…

When in Carmel, try the Flying Fish restaurant!
by temptd2
We are locals and we love this place! I can't even IMAGINE where the person who gave this one star was eating - certainly NOT at Flying Fish! Owners Kenny and Tina Fukumoto have started several successful restaurants in the Carmel area over the years, and this remains a favorite. Often we just get several appetizers and share, rather than a full meal. Nice wine list, pricing is reasonable for Carmel, service is exceptional and the food is fresh and prepared with skill and love. They make all the sauces there in house too! We usually wait to visit Carmel until "locals time" (October through about May) and usually on an early weeknight, we get wonderful service that way and plenty of parking. If you're going during busy times, reservations are a must as this is not a big place! Ambiance is rustic and charming, dress is casual, food is spectacular!
- Pros: Wonderful food, wonderful service, unique ambiance
- Cons: Weekends/tourist season - we avoid!

Oh my God what a true value this place is ................................. Great value & food
by Julia Childs
Wher do I even start, my Husband and I did the walk in thing at The Flying Fish Restaurant on a monday night. We ordered the Shrimp curry soup excellent value at $7.50 for a heaping bowl. The house appetizer was fried wontons with a red chili sauce, excellent... I ordered the 9 oz lobster with curry rice and steamede veggies, and my Husband ordered the house speciality of chillian sea bass... we had a bottle of wine and the entire tab was $107.00 dollars. What a great value, the food was excellent, the ambiance was very romantic (fireplace dinner side). The service was excellent, there was zero wait time and the food was really good... what a gem of a find! definitely a place to come in the future!!
