Overall I really enjoyed my meal as an occasional treat at the beach. The fried fish was crispy and the dim sims and potato cakes had a nice crunch. However, there were a few issues that stood out.
First, the oil seemed overdue for a change—it was dark brown and had that old, overused taste. The dim sims were also quite dark, and I noticed they had been sitting on the draining rack for a while before being twice-dipped to reheat them.
The grilled fish came with a crumb coating, which I wasn’t expecting. Next time, I’ll definitely ask for it without—who wants it crumbed seriously?
And why were the chips so bright yellow?
Service-wise, the girl at the checkout seemed a little disengaged, but maybe she was just having a long day. Meanwhile, the one guy in the kitchen was working at full speed, running from station to station to keep up with orders.
Got the lunch pack for $15.
Generous amount of chicken salt and everything was cooked well.
Good portion size for one.
Friendly owner
Solid feed and no complaints!
Absolutely discussing customer service. Rang in a phone order and was told 20-25 minutes. Arrived 30 minutes later and was told it would be another 45 minutes. Staff were rude and could not careless. The reason, “we got busy after you ordered!” – Totally irrelevant! Reluctantly refunded the money with no apology. Don’t bother. The place is dirty and grimy. Pizza shop two doors up was far better option.
Bit on the lower end of quality of finish for the flake. Flake was not crispy, even considering time left in the wrapping, similarriliy the chips too. Potato cakes were crispy though. Dim sim was alright, can’t get that too wrong. If the flake, the main piece of the combo deal was finished with a higher point of quality, I think it would be a hard to beat place around the area.
I must compliment the staff. I am local, and on a hot day, this place is slammed. The staff are all young, but on the ball. They told me straight up about order times which was obvious with so many from the beach placing orders. Reasonably priced, and the staff were great in managing my order within the constant collections and new orders. Well done guys. Still manage to treat Customers like humans and deliver. Well done
Grilled flake was great and chips were good and crunchy.
Burger was terrible, bun was completely burnt and like a biscuit. Should of been remade with maybe with a bit of care.
Potato cakes awful.
Kids serving were friendly.
Good chips, plenty of chicken salt. Burger was delicious typical fish n chip burger. Decent price. Good location across from the beach
Been here a few times but tonight was definitely the last. More expensive than anywhere else in the local area so shop around for better prices. The chips were overcooked to the point they were pretty much inedible. Two people working but only one of them actively doing anything so in a shop that was virtually empty my order took more than 20 minutes after being told 10 minutes to complete…unacceptable literally everywhere. Burgers were rubbish…again overcooked due to one of the staff paying more attention to his phone. The fish was okay but probably more due to dumb luck than expertise. Avoid unless desperate. The bottle shop next door is alright.
