“Penguin Fish & Chips is a true local gem!

We came for the seafood and left OBSESSED. This spot has been around for decades and you can feel the old-school charm the moment you walk in. The interior is clean, cozy, and no-frills — exactly what you’d expect from a longtime neighborhood favorite. There’s a nostalgic diner vibe, with friendly staff and steady regulars grabbing their go-to orders.

We went big with the COMBO platter and it did not disappoint:
🔥 5 crispy fish fillets — each piece golden, flaky, and piping hot
🦪 1 giant jar oyster — tender, briny, and fried to perfection
🦐 6 jumbo shrimp — juicy, snappy, and delicious
🌊 2 golden scallops — buttery and lightly crisp on the outside

And the sides? A throwback dream — creamy coleslaw, classic potato salad, and nostalgic macaroni salad that tastes like summer picnics.

If you’re craving classic, no-nonsense seafood done right, Penguin is the spot. Come hungry and bring a friend — the portions are huge!“

“The more I come here, the more I appreciate it. The portions are great, at a really fair price and I love everything I've tried. Really solid if you're trying to get protein on a budget.

Parking: If you're coming during a really busy hour, there will be very few parking spots, but people are in and out quick so a spot opens up fast.“

“Although I’ve lived in LA forever my sister and I just visited Eee’s n Cee’s for the first time. As we are picky about our fish we went for it. While looking at the menu there was another customer in there, so I asked about the food. He told us the food was really good. So, we placed our orders and let me tell you all….the food DID NOT DISAPPOINT, but not only did the food NOT disappoint the customer service was EXCELLENT. When she handed our bags I said ooh they heavy (lol). Baby when we popped the container open the presentation spoke volume and for what you get the prices are really good. We couldn’t even pull off without going in and 😋 is all I’m going to say. I hate I didn’t ask her name but she’s the beautiful cook and owner of the establishment (1996). There are not many places you can get great food with great service but this mom and pop establishment definitely did just that. She is really sweet and KNOWS how to cook. If you haven’t been please check them out! My sister and I thank you 😊 Lita & Mo“

“Mo’s Place is excellent. Breakfast is the best we have had anywhere and the price couldn’t be beat. Christy Anne is a wonderful, pleasant and happy waitress who served us.“
