Yousef it was not you. The current owners cannot follow your simple instructions. The fish and chips are now overcooked. The batter is thick and drenched in oil. The fish now has a hard shell. Again, what happened here? The King of Fish and Chips is no more!

I have to say up front, if it weren't for the huge, recent increase in prices, probably a 4. But at…read more$75 for 3 combos, not Uber or delivery but picking it up ourselves, there's no way I can say I'll be returning anytime soon. Said 3 combos were one each of Halibut, Haddock, and Cod, with chips but no drinks. They were nothing over the moon compared to other half decent fish and chip places. Same greasy boxes/bags containing standard chips and nice, fresh fish. Decent portions. If you happen to be near the plaza where they're located (sort of a lonely intersection there at Islington and Hwy 7 West), it definitely fits the bill for a fish and chips craving, and you'd rather not have Pizza Pizza a few doors down. There's a parking lot which at least makes it convenient if you're not paying even more for delivery. Nothing against them really but wouldn't go back specially.

January 9/2025: Lunch with Val…read more This was a really good lunch at the F&C spot. It's chef/server owned so maybe consider supporting your locals. I have the Halibut & Chips ($14.99). Generous serving size as well as perfectly fried French fries. Meal came with delicious coleslaw & we had a gravy on the side. All of it very tasty! It's a small restaurant but has a great feel to it. Authentic is how I'd describe it. I think this is a do-over.

I was so shocked I just hung up on him! Then I went to write a google review and they deleted it!!!!! Horrible customer service, and probably horrible food.

Finally, fish and chips are back in Stouffville!…read more I've been to Joy's Fish & Chips a few times since they opened mid-2024. I've eaten in and taken out, both of which were mostly positive experiences. The service is consistently friendly and pleasant to interact with. It feels like everyone genuinely enjoys working here, which is a big difference maker. The only minor issue is when dining in. In the first few months of being open I find that the restaurant is often packed and service can be a bit slow (as of December 2024). Other than that, service has been fantastic. As I mentioned earlier, the restaurant often seems busy if you're dining in. However, since I live so close I prefer to take out. As of now they don't have any delivery services but if you're willing to pick up for yourself they're pretty quick. I've had big orders that's I've called in and told it would be ready in 20 min. When I go to the restaurant and order (a smaller order) it's only usually about 10-15 minutes even when the restaurant is packed. The food is very, very good! The fish is battered and cooked to order, which you can see for yourself from the takeout counter. It has a delicious crispy batter while the fish stays moist. The fries (chips) are nice and thick and perfectly fried. My only minor complaint is that the fries need more salt. But that's something I can add myself. I've also tried their scallops and shrimp. Both are really good but not quite the same level of their fish. While I don't know if they're battered to order, they're still juice and fried perfectly. Worth trying! Lastly, I just wanted to mention parking. They have a few parking spots to the right of the building, which is perfect for takeout since the takeout entrance on the right side of the building. They have a few parking spots in front and then also quite a spots to the left of the building. Plenty of parking! Overall, I'm super happy Joy's Fish & Chips! I've been going fairly regularly and I've only had great experiences.

The fish and chips are solid choices and they live up to their name. A good amount of chips that come with the meal. I think for the price we were a bit disappointed by the quantity of the calamari and for the chicken souvlaki, a bit sad looking (see pic) and not as flavourful or just below par. Definitely skip the souvlaki here and get what they're known for. Plenty of seating inside the restaurant. However, we just ordered for takeout.

I've visited this Halibut House location in Thornhill, this time for dine-in…read more I ordered the lunch size halibut And Right off the bat , the waitress said it is "this small with a hand gesture". I said ok no problem Upon my food arriving it was pretty small ( look at pic). And I would have given a 1 star review But I must say the halibut (even though miniature in size) was actually crispy and flavourful and even though I didn't take a picture, the fish was pretty thick. Therefore my reason for 3 stars. Also, the fries were not quite right for a fish and chips shoppe. Either they were frozen or they were re-cooked for too long and they were hard, bland and tasteless. I will still keep my review at 3 stars. But I don't think I'll be back anytime soon. Sorry, hope they can do better for other patrons.

But after so many times doing takeout it only happened once, so not bad at all. Halibut: 4.75/5 crispy and then soft inside. Yum. Sometimes could be a little more tender but most times we have ordered it was perfect. Chowder: 6/5 So good. So much flavour. Mushy peas: 7/5 How do they make it like that?! Never will peas taste that good. Chips: 5/5 Great chips! And excellent gravy to accompany. Onion rings: 4.5/5 Pretty good! Sometimes the batter is a little consistent but they are good overall. Highly recommend!

Finding a good fish & chips spot can be tricky at times when you think about balancing price,…read moreportion size, the batter, and the chips. This spot did a pretty good job overall. The batter wasn't too thick, greasy, or salty, and the fish filet was thick enough that it retained its structure when eating (instead of becoming a flaky mess). Chips were decent, but not the standout for me. Even their seniors portion size of fish & chips is quite filling. I also really enjoyed the seafood chowder, though it was on the saltier side. Shocked at how large the bowl of chowder was for the price, and they did not skimp out on the ingredients. No one wants a chowder that's 80% roux/cream base and 20% veggies with canned or frozen seafood mixed in. Be forewarned that finding parking on Main St Newmarket can be challenging during events and busier times/seasons!
