    This is a no frills fried fish restaurant. I'd recommend calling and ordering ahead if you can (see…read moreattached menu photo) since you'll have to wait at least 15 minutes or so in an arguably questionable area. I definitely didn't feel in danger when I was waiting for my food during the day on a Saturday but there were some interesting characters roaming around to say the least. I got the fried catfish dinner meal with coleslaw and French fries. They ended up giving me potato salad by mistake but this was a wonderful mistake. This is probably the best potato salad I've ever had. I'm a fan of the Reser's brand sold in grocery stores so it's similar to that but with a little more twang. The catfish was not as seasoned as I'm used to (I'm comparing it to the homemade fried catfish I grew up eating) but it was still pretty good. I also tried the fried snapper and that was good as well. The fish and the fried were both fried well and there wasn't an overwhelming amount of grease seeping out. Make sure to ask for tartar sauce cause it's really good. The major shock for me was that all that food was only $9.99. In this economy? Yes. It may not seem like a lot of food to some but it kept me full for a very long time. Parking: there's a lot with a good number of spots but you'll have to get lucky. Also people double park alot here so beware of the spots closest to the street because my car was partially blocked in when I was trying to go back home. Street parking was pretty much unavailable when I came.

    Best part was the lemons how did they get all these stars on yelp. the shrimp and fish was…read moreexcept-able but nothing I'd pay for again. Chicken horrible

    hands down no talking needed. the best fish in west la!! fries are seasoned. the service is nice…read more always fresh and hot. literally the best!!

    Penguin is just ok. I was referred to Penguin by a store manager at the Beverly Center. I took his…read moreword because we are from the same 'tribe,' if you will. I expect Southerners to know good food. He must be judging this by L.A. standards. As a native Angeleno whose family is from the South, this ain't it. I come from a long line of cooking women. I could have produced much better from my kitchen - and have, down to the cole slaw. I ordered a #17 - 3 pieces of fish with 4 jumbo shrimp, fries, cole slaw and bread, because I don't like hush puppies. I also ordered potato salad on the side. I noticed immediately that my food smelled a little fishy when the delivery driver handed me my bag. For people who don't know, seafood should smell aromatic. If it smells fishy, it signifies your food isn't [that] fresh. It looked great. I like the addition of onion rings to the order, because I love onion rings, despite hating onions otherwise. However, they could have kept the two little onion rings they threw in. They were more of an afterthought than an addition. I question the freshness of my order. My food did not arrive hot, despite the driver making it to me quickly from the restaurant. The fries were definitely not fresh or hot, which pmo, because I love french fries. They tasted overcooked and like they sat under a heat lamp. I asked for 2 pieces of red snapper (after reading a review that someone ordered catfish and it was bad) and a piece of filet of sole. They gave me 3 pieces of red snapper and threw in a piece of sole because it was so thin. It was thin and fried hard, which is a no. I would never order the sole by itself, as it is too thin and I would not be satiated. The jumbo shrimp are very large, but they were a bit tough, which means they were overcooked. The cook(s) need(s) to check their cooking time. All orders should be made-to-order, not premade, especially at a fish market. The cole slaw was ok. It was a little too 'soupy' for my taste and it has a sweetness to it, which I'm not a fan of. The tartar sauce came in ketchup-type packets. It should be fresh. The fries are frozen crinkle cut fries, the same as you can buy from the grocery store. The hot sauce was thick - not the kind of hot sauce you eat with fish or shrimp. It's like sriracha, which is a no. The potato salad was surprisingly good. I'm not a big potato salad fan, but theirs is good. The red snapper is ok. It wasn't fried too hard. Will I order from Penguin again? Highly unlikely. I've had better elsewhere and the food was actually hot and fresh on arrival. I wouldn't recommend Penguin if someone hadn't already eaten there, either. The food isn't memorable in a good way. (It isn't some perception that my food wasn't cooked properly. It is a reality. Restaurant owners need to take accountability for their kitchens sending bad food out. They are quick to reply and slow to take accountability or implement the necessary changes to improve. There won't be a second chance with me. Trust.)
