1 Seafood and Chicken Restaurant

I see the stellar reviews but I just can't agree. The spot is okay for what it is. I'm a big fan of JJs and unfortunately my meal here just didn't live up to the hype. I got two orders of #20, which comes with 2 wings, 3 catfish, 2 shrimp and choice of fried rice or fries for each. The fries are some of the worst I've ever had. They have no salt or flavor or anything. The wings were a lot smaller than I expected they'd be, but you do get a whole wing. Everything tasted over fried and semi flavorless. I asked for hot sauce, ketchup and tartar sauce but they're pretty stingy with it. They gave us 4 tiny packets of each... and mind you, I said packets :( I ordered a side of hushpuppies and those tasted pretty good. They're tiny though, so you get 8 small little gumballs for about $3. There isn't really customer service here. You can call in an order, but they still expect you to come in and pay first. It's a little confusing because there's just one small window that they take orders and give out orders out of. It's a small space so it gets crowded fast, making it hard to know who is in line, and who is simply waiting for their food. TBH I wouldn't be in a rush to come back but when I do, I'm def gonna try that shrimp burger I see everyone raving about.

Excellent fried fish and chicken! A lil hole in the wall spot but you'll be satisfied! Always busy on the weekends!

This is an interesting little place. I think we had tried them about seven years ago. It was good then, but I didn't write a review. For the past two weeks, I've been craving both Fried Chicken and Fried Fish. This morning, we saw a YouTube on Pioneer Chicken in Los Angeles and Bell Gardens. That broke the camel's back. I had to have some fried chicken!The lobby area is very small. There are four or five chairs for guests to sit in but the business is for take-out. The menu boards are above and next to the ordering area. Pro Note: pay close attention to the vertically positioned "Specials" board. If you compare these items and prices to those of the two horizontally positioned boards, you will get a little bit more for your money. Ordering is done by item number at a window similar to a movie house box office. The order taker is on the other side of the glass and there is a microphone/speaker on each side. There's a cut-out under the glass to make payment by cash or credit card. There is also a small sliding window that orders can be passed through. For larger orders, there is a metal screened door to the left of the windows. Items are cooked to order so it will take a bit to get your order out. I think our order took about 20 minutes. Be sure to pay your parking meter so you don't get jammed up. What did we order? Always better to have too much than not enough. I wanted fish and chicken. She wanted chicken. Decisions! Decisions!#4 - 10 Whole Fried Chicken Wings - 5 - Crispy, moist, wings. The entire wing! Drumette, flat and tip. No, it's not Pioneer Chicken, but then no one e.lse offers that delicious, weirdly orange, super crunchy, super moist chicken either. Those of you who remember, know. Those of you who don't, need to make the pilgrimage down to SoCal#31 - Wander's Sampler - 5 - No, I don't know who Wander is or was but Wander liked seafood and so do I! 4 pieces each of Catfish and Red Snapper, 3 Large Prawns, 3 Small Battered and Fried Oysters and 3 Hush Puppies. It also came with a slice of white bread and our choice of French Fries or Fried Rice. The Fried Rice was quite simple and surprisingly good. It was just rice, egg with peas and carrots. The Seafood was well battered and fried. The Hush Puppies were excellent, crispy outside and cooked throughout. Service quality was good although perhaps appearing somewhat haphazard. Once you paid for your order, you get a scrap of paper with number written on it. Don't lose that little scrap of paper because you have to turn it in to get your order. If you don't have it, you better remember what you had ordered as they will go through it to make sure that it's really yours. Ketchup, Hot Sauce and Tartar Sauce were included in the bag as well as one fork and Soy Sauce (for the fried rice) and napkins. There wasn't any cocktail sauce. We figure that what we ordered was probably just enough food for four.

I love this spot i been coming here for years. For for . The chicken parrty wings are really good i can eat the whole 24 by myself . I love the nuber 54 4 cat fish .4prawns 3wings and fried oysters. And the service is amazing they are very nice people.

Fried chicken here is always good. I've been going here since I lived in Oakland back in 06. They do not miss!! Definitely my go to spot for fried chicken in Oakland. From what I can remember fish & prawns was good too but it's been a while since I've had it

I usually get my ABC (American Born Chinese) food from Fountain Garden a block away but unfortunately they're closed on Mondays so ya boi had to get some type of protein with fried rice so #1 Seafood and Chicken Restaurant is a good... uh, an alternative... option to that because they serve fried rice. The shrimp fried rice here is normally bomb on its own but the accoutrements is what elevates this place.? Depends on "chef" as well.+ Shrimp burger (5/5) is fire AF! I thought I was gonna get a minced shrimp cake with a Costco bun and Safeway tartar sauce but it was so delish. Originally it didn't make sense but eventually it was so fire, I was shook. Maybe it's nostalgia but I love me some crinkle cut fries vs. shoestring or steak fries. The lettuce, tomatoes and onions were fresher than my haircut. The picture I posted does not do this place justice but then again I'm not a YouTube or IG influencer so take it for what you will but it's was yumz.com.+ Fried catfish, skrimp and hush puppies combo (4/5), they must fry these in crack oil because it's so addictive. Being a fry fish restaurant, I'm sure they got their methodology down because everything is always crispy but also so moist (literally food p0rn) but takeout can be as dry as a desert or maybe a bad tinder profile. I'm not a big fan of hushpuppies (aka deep fried corn bread balls) but theirs was decent. I can taste some of the spices albeit 5 spice or white pepper with salt and sugar.Not my main go-to spot for fish and chips but definitely an alternative option. If you want to know what's good in the hood, #1 chicken and seafood is ghettO fabulous!

Chicken wings are good and the price is even better. Only thing customers service needs a little improvement

Excellent fry and always consistent. All the party trays I order from here get wiped out -- a perfect place to get something for a potluck. I just had the shrimp burger for the first time and it was surprisingly delicious and so HUGE I could only eat half.

I love their prawns, party wings, and veg fried rice! The veg fried rice can be upgraded for a small fee. My husband loves their whole wings, oysters, and catfish. The food is always fresh and seasoned. ~ It is pick-up only!

The red snapper and sold sandwiches are delicious.One of my favs are the 12 party wings, they have the right crispiness and delicious. Go try them!!
