The Battered Flake Fish (AUD $8) also has a semi-crisp batter and soft chunky flake fish with mild sweet salty savoury flavour. . The Dim Sim Fried (AUD $1.30) and Potato Cake (AUD $1.30) were decently executed, though I personally felt these were lacklustre. . The Minimum Chips (AUD $4) is still served in a generous portion, with the medium-cut British English style potato chips being crisp and fluffy with starchy salty sweet flavour. .

The Grilled Barramundi Fish (AUD $8.50) had a fillet of tender flaky lean grilled barramundi fish, but it was overly seasoned with a pronounced salty note. . The Pineapple Fritter (AUD $2.50) was our favourite, juicy and crisp with robust fruity sweet flavour from the battered and caramelised pineapple ring. .

Placed an order thru menu log at 7.25 was told could pick up at 7.50, went in at 7.50 they were only just putting it won, there was no one else in there but anyway was told will be 10 minutes, took another 15. As I’m sitting there I begin looking at the menu on the whiteboards and realise I’ve been overcharged $20 on a $65 order, the girl knew I was into it too cos I heard her speaking Chinese to her father and at the end of what she was saying she said menu log, so I asked how come my order is $20 more than if I’d ordered in the shop, she stays oh menu log add a percentage to the order, I said what $20 to a $65 order seems a bit much plus if I’d had it delivered it’d be an extra $10, no way, so I visited a few shops along the strip and realised that most have the same prices as on menu log, only a couple were cheaper than in store which means they must be putting their prices up of their own accord, be warned don’t purchase off menu log if you can order in store yourself, and also don’t come here if their mission is to rip you blind then lie to your...

Hi guys i only rate fish n chips sorry

The flake fillet was good quality but very thin, flakey and a bit dry when you cut into the batter.

Batter was quite nice, and crispy around the edges, but not overly crispy, thats a good thing.

Good quality chips are always hard to find. The potatoes here were not good quality and not skinned well. But cooked quite good.

Chicken salt is ok

Customer service was very good.

Environment ambience was ok.

I rate the fish 2 out of 5

Chips 2 out of 5

Customer service 5 out of 5

Atmosphere 4 out of 5

Value for money, 3 out of 5 based on low quality potato & thin fish fillets. Price of everything has gone up these days, so has rent. You can expect prices to rise, but it's doesnt give an excuse to skimp on quality. Quality will increase sales and ratings. People are generally happy to pay for quality guys. You have the potential to be one of the best if you want to be.

My opinions are formed from sampling at over 50 fsh and chip locations throughout Australia with large customer reviews. That's how I choose...
