"I heard Fish Day recently renovated and rebranded to K Kitchen and Fish Day. Previous version was very yummy so thought it would be worth a try. I visited on a Saturday during lunch time. STARS (stand out qualities)-customer service was one of the biggest stars. the owner-couple were so warm, responsive and helpful-local business owned by people of color -food was good quality AND quantity-food came out freshly made and hot -food presentation was nice -owners gave extra for certain banchan since we ate it quickly-reusable eatingware -beautiful interior dining area with booths and tables/chairs-clean bathroom -plenty of parking STAIRS (areas of growth)-recommend compostable or biodegradable large takeout boxes (they did have small compostable ones) -prices feel high to me but I think they are competitive Bay Area prices. Worth the price for all the stars above TIPS-prepare for cash payment if you want discounted prices-I recommend the Chive Seafood Jeon and Ddeokbokki and which was very flavorful and packed with good ingredients -bring friends, family and coworkers! Seems to be a hidden gem at the moment"

"Them fish n' chips are jumbolicious! Not only are the fish n' chips jumbo but their fried zucchini are also jumbolicious! Their batter is really good because the fried food stayed crunchy even when I got back home with my take-out. This is definitely a gem in Hayward/San Leandro. Fish n' Chips - large pieces of fish, large steak friesFried Zucchini - large pieces of zucchini fried in crispy crunchy batterThe only draw back is the sauce, they don't give you enough for all those big o' pieces of food.Its located in a small strip mall. parking is awkward but do-able! Decor is very British! Fun!"
"Showed up around 1pm. No customers. Had the cod fish, chips, and zucchini meal. Tasted like heated up leftovers"
"Unexpected fish and chips are their own special delight. This was certainly not the neighborhood in which I expected this fare.The cornmeal makes for a dry (not oily) crust. The Alaskan Pollock was tasty. The catfish will be next.The staff are friendly, efficient, and know their stuff. Their cook time estimates were spot-on.Despite a couple handfuls of chairs inside the usually quiet place, orders are packed to go because that's what the clientele wants. We ate in and enjoyed seeing the flow of people. Worth it."
"I was craving fish so bad today and my husband reminded me that hofap is now on doordash..that was an immediate yes for me and for us. I've eaten at this establishment on and off for many years and just like many years ago as of today the food is and always will be A-1. Fish crispy hot and fresh and so was the fries. This is my second time around with DoorDash and it will not be my last."
"For years, I passed this location up and I've always wanted to stop and give them a try. in February my husband and I stopped by and I ordered the fried chicken wing meal with a side of red beans and rice and collards. My husband went with the oxtails over rice and gravy. My honest opinion is that the food lacked salt and seasoning, and I am someone who does not add a lot of salt to my food. The chicken and snapper were cooked to perfection as were the oxtails, but they needed a little bit of salt. I have the same opinion for the sides. Everything is made with love by the hands of hard-working people and I recommend you come and give it a try and form your own opinion."

Husband and wife restaurant. The food and service are excellent! They serve large portions so keep that in mind when ordering. Even the appetizers are large. We ordered quite a bit of food and it all tasted great.Very friendly owners.Nice modern looking decor that has good lighting. Plenty of seating too.I found this restaurant on Yelp after a long day on the peninsula and based on the good reviews I gave it a try. Not disappointed!

It's been on point every time I've had it! Will be back! Fried basa, catfish, yams, and potato salad were a must for me.

I grew up with a British woman, so trips to the UK were had and the genuine and obligatory fish n chips was always had. Aside from that if we wanted Fish n chip there was H.S. salt fish and chips, but those are far and few in between these days. I was searching for something different and had a craving for fish n chips, before heading to work and found this place. It's hidden in a corner part of the strip mall and walking it reminds me a dark British pub, the black walls may contribute. However they have a good selection of fish n chip meals, shrimp and eve some limited chinese food on the menu.Ordered the two piece fish meal. It was nice to see that the fish was cooked after I placed my order. It came out like under 10 minutes. And the piece of cod were huge. There was a good portion of steak fries that came with it. It came with a two sides of tarter sauce. There's an area with malt vinegar, salt, and ketchup.This reminds me Definitely of my fish n chips from my childhood and recent trip to the UK. Nice breading and slightly greasyI will be frequenting this place in person or delivery to work for lunch.

Been eyeing this restaurant for a while since I grew up enjoying quite a few Friday Fish Fry's.Service is friendly and the portion sizes are big. Decor is mainly framed pictures of celebrities.We ordered:Double Catch - Cod + Shrimp with a side of Mushrooms and FriesSeafood Plate - Calamari with a side of Broccoli and FriesWe liked the fried vegetables, shrimp and calamari. Well battered and fried.The items we thought could use some changes -Fries could have used some more time in the fryer. Cod was a bit dry, didn't have any seasoning, and batter was really thin. Coleslaw didn't taste like much and was heavy on the Mayo.If you're hankering for some fried foods, I'd recommend the ones I listed above. It would be nice to see more non-fried food items on the menu to balance it out a bit.

Found this place while looking for "fish fry" since a friend and I were talking about the dish. I'm happy I found this place and would be back. The food was solid, the service was friendly, and the pricing was reasonable. Most people seem to be doing takeout but there are a few seats in the cozy space and the staff keeps the dining area clean. The menu looks extensive but it's basically various combinations of their fried fish, chicken, shrimp or oysters with the various sides in various quantities. Since this was an afternoon snack/linner for me, I opted for just 2 pieces of fried catfish and 2 oysters. I also got half spicy and half regular so I can check out the various seasonings. The person taking my order told me it would be 10-15 minutes since they make every order as it comes in. My food came out in the middle of that time frame so if you want your food sooner, you should order ahead. I had time to kill and I wanted to eat my food right when it came out so I didn't mind ordering there. Everything was cooked perfectly, crispy and not too greasy. I personally preferred the spicy over the regular seasoning since the regular seasoning didn't have enough flavor for me. The catfish had a bit of a muddy flavor so if you don't like it like that, I would recommend trying the other fish. Cormeal crust is a bit on the thicker side. They took a break right after I got my order so I was in my car noshing on my eats while watching other people walk up and be disappointed that they were closed. If this is a regular thing, they should update their hours to reflect appropriately.

GOOD FRIDAY - SNAPPER AND PRAWNSOn the last Friday before Easter I drove here on a rainy day for lunch. When I arrived I noticed there was no place to eat inside. Outside I looked at the menu on the window. I knew I was going to get the fish and prawns combo. What's intriguing about the menu of this eatery is you can order a different type of fish. Normally at fish and chips joints the fish is cod. I love catfish, but I wanted to try something different. I wasn't going to order tilapia as that fish growing up as a Filipino Catholic reminds me too much of Lent. It was that fish made me rebel on eating fish on Fridays during Lent. I decided to get snapper. The combo came with two sides order. I ordered fries and coleslaw. After I placed my order the cashier informed me that I would be waiting for 25-30 minutes. As it was raining I stayed inside my car until my order was ready.Since there was no place to eat inside I got my order and went home. Throughout the 15-minute drive in the rain I wondered if the snapper, prawns, and fries would be soggy before I took a bite home. When I took a bite of my meal the fries and breading on the fish were still crispy. The reason why is because as I got the paper bag from the cashier she left an opening on the bag. This releases the steam, which makes the fried food soggy. The snapper provides a different texture than catfish, which is an oily fish. I've ate a whole fried snapper before, but never in pieces that were breaded and deep fried. The snapper has a meaty texture. What enhances this texture is the cornmeal breading. This crunchy breading absorbs the oil. The fries I had were the crinkle cut, which the appearance almost always make them look crispy. The fries were crispy. The prawns were butterflied. Most of the prawns can be too watery, but the prawns I ordered from Family House of Fish and Poultry weren't.After consuming the fish and prawns combo I didn't feel queasy. The breading was crispy, but not oily. As catfish is my favorite fish I order it if I decide to get fish. Since Lent will be over after Easter I can see myself ordering the chicken wings the next time I come Family House of Fish and Poultry.

I ordered delivery for my family and it was just okay. The prawns were fried well and my family enjoyed that but the catfish was not fried hard at all and was quit slimy. Overall, you can get better fried seafood from JJ's.

Good food, best to call ahead. Lots of fries for the regular order. The fish we ordered was not filet size more of nugget style. No complaints from my husband.

"The other day my job had me in downtown Oakland, and I decided to try the fried catfish at this small restaurant. I ordered the Catfish Combo w/ a salad instead of fries. Also, an order of onion rings. The person who took my order was nice and polite. I finally get my food after a short wait. Okay, the fried catfish was good. It was fresh, moist and the meat was flaky. However, the tartar sauce wasn't tartar sauce. It was some sort of salad dressing, maybe ranch dressing? I paid for extra tartar sauce, and both containers were some sort of salad dressing. Now, the onion rings. I like my onion rings battered and deep fried. These rings were limp, soggy, and breaded. They appeared either baked or microwaved. Not crispy at all. This place would of received 4-stars if I didn't order the onion rings.Would I return? No thanks"
"It a Cash only situation and I did not get what I ordered. Ribs were gooddddd. Friendly service at Richmond location not so much in Vallejo."
"We walked in and was pleasantly greeted! It smelled amazing. Mrs. Dixon came out greeted us and made a few suggestions. I got sole and wings, greens and Mac n cheese! It made me lick my fingers! I had plenty of tarter sauce, hot sauce and ketchup. Some places are so cheap and give you the bare minimum! Not here I had left overs. My daughter got fish and oysters, Spaghetti and greens. She said if she worked there she would be so so so fat because the food was so delicious. Not to mention we got to hickey punch and it was so cold Quinn start Thursday we usually get two or three cans of peas in the one tiki punch actually worked for us we we just got one each. Thanks Dixon keep up the great work we will be there"
"Usually go to the one in Sacramento but today found myself in Oakland visiting my great uncle X (sn, he's black panther hence the last name X... its alot of history, black history when we do lunch.) We went to his usual laundry spot and there's JJs . last time I went I gave em 3 stars, this time was better so I am going with 4. I liked it a lot, and very convenient to eat while waiting for laundry. Yay multitasking. This location stays on brand with the huge portions --we ate whiting cause I like it better than catfish. Also got jumbo shrimp fries bread.... Tried their lemonade which I never have seen it was good. Dessert was chocolate cake, idunno why but it wasn't moist enough for me. All in all thought, twas Pretty good. Not bad."
"I'm from Long Beach, and I must say this is the BEST fish I've ever had! We don't have a place that comes close to this in the LA/LB area. Hole in the walls have some of the best food, and this one proves it! The cat fish and shrimp is AMAZING!!! When I'm back in Oakland, I'll definitely be back!"
"Watched the Champions League final at this pub. Located in the San Pedro Market Square with a parking garage nearby.We loved the atmosphere! Was buzzing with soccer fans. Loads of TV screens on all sides. The service was great. Enjoyed Calamari strips, Big Ben Burger, fish and chips.Planning to come back for the Euro games!"
"Idk how I haven't done a review. I love this place. Eat here at least twice a month. They have the BEST crunchy shrimp tacos! They deep fry the shell and it's so good! They've very clean and polite! The menu consist of non meat options so that's a plus for me. They often have cookie and agua fresca too. My kid loves their street tacos. Better than most taco trucks around here."
"Amazing service from the time I looked at the menu. The guy at the register was informative and patient. He described the menu and made me want to eat there. There was a lady in the kitchen who I believe to be the chef or his mom who was very pleasant and very Greeting. Now the sandwich, it was excellent one of the best tuna sandwiches I have ever had in my life 10 out of 10 would recommend. This place is located in a public market setting, but is well worth it."
