Fish burgers and fish tacos are fresh and delicious. Service is reasonably quick and consistent. Food is made to order. They also serve alcohol. Seating is both indoors and outdoors.

This place is just another aesthetic-driven restaurant designed for social media posts rather than good food. The modern decor and trendy presentation might look great in photos, but don’t let that fool you—the food itself is a massive letdown. The fish and chips were underwhelming. The fries were frozen, lacking any crisp or real flavor. The fish was tough and lazily breaded instead of being coated in a proper batter, making it taste more like an oversized frozen fish stick (which is probably what it was) rather than the fresh, flaky fillet you’d expect. I ordered shrimp and that was definitely frozen too. The coleslaw? Straight from a bag. The tartar sauce? Just the same bland, jarred stuff you can buy at any grocery store. Their so-called “magic sauce” was nothing more than Old Bay and Tabasco—hardly magic, just lazy. Looking at other real reviews, it’s clear this place doesn’t just drop the ball on fish and chips; their entire menu seems to suffer from the same lack of quality. Even the soda was a disappointment—flat and lifeless, just like everything else on the plate. They’ll probably respond with some generic “we’re sorry, we’ll do better” message, but if they actually wanted to improve, they’d put real effort into the culinary aspect of their business. Instead, they cut corners at every turn, completely lacking any passion or respect for the food they serve. They’re just taking shortcuts and expecting no one to notice. If you care about good food, skip this place. It’s all hype and no heart. Don’t waste your time or money on this franchise.

The restaurant is small, but has indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside and the atmosphere was great. The portion sizes were just right. Most of our group did not care for the slaw, but everything else was tasty.

It's white people food that lacks flavor! The Waikiki location was packed with long lines while this location was basically empty. Was craving fish tacos and this is the only place close to the beach that was open. Horrible tasting tacos that's basically all lettuce and bland meat. Giving 1 star because the fries were atleast decent tasting and the server was very nice.
I should also mention that it's expensive at $6 per taco!

The chef was accommodating to make a cheese quesadilla with corn tortillas.
The cheeseburger was good and fish tacos were good.
The blackened snapper was the best of the items we ordered.
Once we ordered the food arrived at the table quickly.
The added bonus was the use of the water gun by the staff to chase off the birds. The chickens and pigeons loved some
Parking: Like most of Kailua, parking can be challenging.
Kid-friendliness: Gluten free options make special for my kid.

Every time Dirty sticky tables, they need to clean more the floor and tables, and make sure nothing like bags, napkins, and dirty items flying out to the street from the tables outside, food is good.

The fries/chips were crispy! I got a fish quesadilla which was quite good. The plate was too small for the amount of food piled on it
Some of the best seafood on Oahu! Many different ways you can have the fish cooked - this particular one was Cajun red snapper.
Great service, great environment, and nice outdoor seating. Be sure to try their homemade chili sauce. Quick service too!

The freshest and best fish meal to find in Oahu or Maui We eat there 3 times a week. Blacked Mahi and grilled Ono on rice with potatoes!
