| - Looks very old from the outside, but that didn't stop me from checking this place out. I had a craving for fish and chips and my thought was, "this place looks like it's been around for a while, maybe there's a reason for that?"
I think there is. I was greeted by a Lucky Cat and a soft-spoken older Chinese man. Him and his family have owned this place for the last 30 years or so, I believe. I can tell that the man has been making fish and chips for a while. - Careful, nice and quick, and packaged my food perfectly (looks like he has a good technique going). Just like other reviewers, I took transit home and a half hour later the food was still crispy. I loved the fries and the fish was great. The fish was a little greasier than I'm used to, but nowhere near as bad as some as the negative reviewers claim.( - What do you expect? Fish and chips is a greasy meal in general.) Personally, l'm not normally into thickly battered fish, but I really enjoyed this one! (It's sort of in between thin and thick, actually)
Take-out only, but you can't go wrong with this place because the fish and chips is cheap, but still very delicious. Lots of chips with a nice portion of fish. Otherwise, if you want a little less greasy fish, then Reliable fish and chips is a few blocks west. They're pretty solid overall, too.
End note: I don't know why, but I found it really cool that there's Lucky Cat in there AND the man wrapped the food in Chinese newspaper. It's like a cross-cultural thing.
The man was very grateful for the tip I left and put it with the Lucky Cat.
