First time here and very impressed with the quality and freshness of the food! My husband and I shared a two piece of fish and chips plate, 6 hush puppies and 6 lumpia. Paid $50, more than I expected to pay, but I understand you’re paying for quality. And it was worth it. Definitely would come back. Very polite and friendly staff. Very clean looking inside. Probably the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. The fish wasn’t greasy, nice and crispy batter. Nothing was greasy at all. Very impressed. Can’t wait to have it again.

Close to public transportation. The portions are large and very well prepared, however, the prices are moderately expensive. They offer a fish and chips and other fried seafood items. Open Monday through Saturday closed Sundays and holidays.

The fish and Shrimp is extremely crispy. My only complaint is that they don't season the batter or the seafood before they fry it. When it comes out, its very bland.

The food was fantastic. I got the fish and chips (French fries). Fish was fried perfect. A little crunchy and not greasy. It does take awhile to get your food because they are making it fresh. But, the wait is worth it.

I tried Chef John’s Fish & Chips and the food itself was pretty solid, crispy, flavorful, and definitely hit the spot. The only thing that stood out on the downside was the price. For what you get, it felt a bit on the expensive side, which takes away from the overall value. Still, if you’re craving good fish and chips and don’t mind paying a little extra, it’s worth checking out.

I drove out to chef John's. First off the parking is very confusing there's no lines only little indicators which I ended up taking up two spots because I couldn't tell where one parking spot started and the other one ended. I would say if they get rid of the old drive-thru they can have more parking for their customers. Additionally the food was decent but the price was not you do get big pieces of fish that are somewhat flavorful but rather dull the tartar sauce was delicious but they don't give you a ton. The fries were overcooked it's unfortunate cuz I knew they were fresh but maybe someone wasn't paying attention to the time and that's how they got burnt.The thing that worries me is I saw a staff member work the register and then go right back to the fryer without gloves. I would ask them to be very careful as this could deter customers. Another suggestion would be if you offer water to leave water cups out for an individual can grab them rather than ask staff especially when they busy and don't have time to give customers a cup quickly this can kind of help with cutting down irritated customers. Another thing that irritated customers was that the bathroom was locked and they couldn't ask for the key because the staff were busy making food or taking orders this could be a point that could be corrected either with the code or putting a sign that says bathroom for staff only.
