"1. Food pretty good. Lovely barramundi Real potatoe cakes. Nice juicy scallops... Batter good.. Flake very good size.. Hot dogs in batter could've been the fatter ones instead if the skiny ones.. Crab stick good.. 2. Cleanliness think it could be better. Bit of a clean wouldn't go astray... Oil might need a change Or Drain the food a little bit longer... But still very nice... 3. Price Very good. Definitely worth going back... 4. Staff. Very helpful & polite. Man behind the counter very curtious & well organised... Definitely have a try Don't think food wise you'd be disappointed... 4 out of 5"

"We ordered via Uber Eats and got our delivery relatively quickly. Food was still very hot when received. We got a half flake, barramundi, potato cakes, steamed dim sims and South Melbourne market dim sim. Everything was delicious. Couldn't fault it."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely top-tier fish and chips. The fish is always perfectly cooked — light, crispy batter on the outside and beautifully flaky on the inside, not greasy at all. Chips were golden, fresh, and properly crunchy, not the soggy kind you get from other places. Portion sizes were generous, prices were fair, and everything tasted fresh. You can tell they actually care about quality here. Service was friendly and fast, even during busy periods, which is always a bonus. Easily one of the best fish and chips I’ve had in a long time. If you’re in the area and craving proper, old-school fish and chips done right, this place is a must visit. Will definitely be back!"

"One of the better old school fish and chip spot I’ve tried this side of town that are not overpriced like the others. Chips were very crunchy and nicely salted. The lot burger nicely done and tasty. We will only be coming back here for fish and chips now"

"Old-school fish and chips, rare to find a place like this these days. High quality, fresh fish, and the potato cakes are all handmade (none of that frozen stuff). We keep going back consistently because it never leaves my family with an oily aftertaste."
