Don's Fish and Chicken

I recently revisited Don's Chicken and Fish and was pleasantly surprised! My initial experience was a bit underwhelming, but this time the food was truly awesome. The flavors were spot-on, and everything from the crispy chicken to the perfectly seasoned fish left me impressed. I highly recommend giving this place a try--it's definitely worth a second look!Parking could be very difficult. The pricing for the fish combo I got wasn't too bad. I got a piece of fried chicken on the side.If you're looking for takeout, only this place is great they indoor seating the place looks like it needs a little updating.Service was just OK!!!

Food was great if you love fried seafood, service was good. It's in a rough area but if that doesn't bother you I'd give it a try most definitely.

I have ordered twice through Grubhub, and my order was packed nicely, hot and fresh. i've had the fried snapper, the fried catfish and the shrimp and all were excellent. I prefer the potato salad over the macaroni salad, fries were crispy. When I'm craving fried fish and don't want to leave home, this will definitely be on my rotation ongoing.

My first time going to Dons FIsh and Chicken. Damn, no words can really explain how good the food is here. The Red Snapper is fresh and crunchy fried. We also had some oysters with them, and they were slamming good. Seasoned just right. Nothing bland or overcooked here at Don's. Love the staff and hospitality here, This will be my go to spot from now on in Long Beach.

This is the kind of creative hole in the wall that we can't help give five stars to, every time. Like, a fried chicken AND fried fish spot? connected to a liquor store?? Occupying an entire strip mall L-shaped building painted bright purple and yellow with a mural of Kobe? Everything tasted like they were fried moments before we bit into them, which they were. The folks at Don's fry their food fresh with every order, and you can tell by how juicy and not-mushy the fish is. The hush puppies had a good crisp but avoided being too dense on the inside. The fries were as good as fries get. The tartar sauce was not cloying, and the hot sauce struck the delicate balance between hot, tangy, sour, just diluted enough to match the fish but not too runny. One constructive criticism: they bread their fish like one would bread fried chicken, and it's a bit thick for the more delicate meat. I would suggest they experiment with a slightly lighter breading for their seafood, especially since they go through the trouble of offering fresh snapper, catfish, oysters, etcThe whole operation is a Korean American family business, based on the conversation I overheard in the language. I was disappointed to not find any Soju or Korean snacks beyond ramen, but maybe that doesn't sell at the border of Long Beach and Compton.

I really wanted to love this fish since it had good reviews but I didn't. Jesus know I REALLY wanted to like it. Especially since i spent $30! The fish was soggy and had no taste and no crunch. The best part was the hush puppies. Those were good. I got the red snapper and sole and both were not good at all. I also dont think the fish wasn't clean. I found the skin of the fish still on it when i pulled the batter off the fish. I don't think this fish was fried right. I also got shrimp and it was also only okay. Not fried at all and not good either. I ended up throwing the entire meal away and eating a bowl of cereal instead. It didn't taste like it was made with soul and love. I will not buy from here again. Pretty dissapointed.

Too much crust! The crust comes off the fish like glove. I won't be back here. The girl at the counter was nice but make sure you ask for a receipt.

Looooove them since I was in elementary school! They truly are the best. I'd recommend ordering ahead because they take about 5-7 minutes longer than what you'd like to wait..... but boy is it worth it! I think I only get a little tired of waiting because I'm ready to eat it once I arrive because u can smell the good cookin from outside. Loooove dons and I also really like King Fish on Atlantic and Harding. Those two are north side Long Beach top tier!!!!

Best fish and chips in the North Long Beach. So relieved I finally found a decent place that does not totally overcook the fish!! Shrimp clean and perfectly cooked. French fries were good too. Prices were very reasonable.

This place was delicious. I'm from New Orleans, so I know my seafood, and this certainly made me feel like I was at home! The portion was a bit small but packed with flavor!
