Mr. Fish and Chips

If you're looking for a good fish and chips place in the Balboa area, this place is worth trying. Their fish tastes fresh and it's big pieces. The batter has the perfect crispy consistency, and it does not overwhelm the fish flavor.If there is one thing that I would wish they'd put a little bit of effort in is the atmosphere and the ambiance of the place. It could use a little bit of touch and setting it up to look more inviting. If you don't care about the atmosphere and just want good food, this place is worth trying.

I live close to this place but had never stopped in, and I won't be coming back. The fish is soggy and the pieces are very small, the shrimp are overcooked and chewy, and the "chips" (fries) are nothing more than Ore-Ida frozen steak fries. Long John Silver's tastes better than this crap so I'm not sure why people are ranting and raving about this mediocre seafood.

I love this place! We came through yelp and couldn't be happier. Service is solid and prices are fair. Food is awesome!Highly recommended !

Best fish n chips in town! Highly recommend if you are in the area. The portions are big and the staff is friendly.

Small little mom & pop eatery with delicious fish and chips. There is ample parking, but it's a little chaotic because it's a shared parking lot with Vons and a bunch of other shops. There are a few tables inside to sit and eat, but we decided to get our order to go. The gentleman at the register was very friendly and took our order quickly. The menu is small, but that was fine with us, it just means that they don't try to stray away from what they're good at. The fish was beautifully fried. Nice and crisp without being overly breaded or greasy. It was delicious. The fries were crisp and yummy. The vinegar and tartar sauce were delish. The price was reasonable for the portion size. We will definitely be returning.

Delicious, I don't know why I waited so long to try this place. Someone told me it wasn't for them, they were wrong! Or, at least, it is for me. I grew up with Long John Silver fast food being fancy (military family) but they're going out of business. This place gives the perfect fried fish and some nostalgia. The coating is crispy, not as heavy like beer batter, but less airy than tempura. It's perfect and unlike fast food, not super salty!! That's what condiments are for anyway! Super casual hole in the wall, limited seating and mostly dining outside.
