    Pajo's two pieces halibut and chips
    Kate O.

    Pajo's continues to serve spectacular fish and chips! Visited with my granddaughter two days ago who declared the halibut and chips "Best thing I ever ate!" She was over the moon with the flavour, the crisp batter and the fresh (not frozen) chips. The line moved quickly and we were served in just a few minutes on a busy Saturday. Don't know how they do it! Generous portion of delicious, flaky halibut (the very best fish for fish and chips, in my opinion) in a gorgeous light, crisp batter, endless fries and home-made tartar sauce. Served fresh and hot, there's nothing like it. Plus, it was a glorious sunny day on Pajo's wharf at Steveston. Sun glistening on the sea and fishing boats bobbing in the harbour. "If I had to pick a last meal," said the granddaughter, "this would be it!" Thank you, Pajo's, you made our day at Steveston even better! Highly recommended 11/10!

    Fish and chips were delicious. Breading is light and crispy. Fish was perfect. Fries are good.

    Saw PAJOs after my 9 hour flight landed, had to eat it since I loved the other location. It was at 10am and the cashier was sitting there. I asked nicely if they were open and he sounds so impatient and rude "yeah u can see the menu ofc we r open". I ordered just cod and it came after a while, it didn't taste fresh, the batter literally couldn't stick to the fish. And the amount of tartar sauce was pathetic. Glad the other location is still good, but I wouldn't come to this location again

    I am glad they open early here because I was pretty hungry! We ordered a medium size fish and chips. I believe the portion is smaller than the one at Steveston and priced around the same. The fish pieces are smaller. The batter is not crispy but at least the fish is not dry. It was definitely not meant to be shared. The fries are pretty good. It's not salty. Overall, you can't expect too much for airport food.

    A relatively new addition to YVR airport, Pajo's Fish and Chips was initially a nice surprise. I was happy to see a fish and chips shop as one of the options at the food court since I thought BC's reputation for seafood would resonate with travellers. Unfortunately, the fish and chips however are definitely overpriced, the portion is super small and really does enforce the stereotype of expensive airport food. One tiny piece of halibut with fries will set you back $10. In a no-frills food court, I don't think people should expect much, but if i wanted to load up on french fries, I could easily go elsewhere. Overall, I would advise people to avoid and try something else that will fill you up and at least give you something that's worth your value. Greater Vancouver definitely does have good fish and chips, but you won't find them here.

    They took away the Asian food I loved, but this place is great, too. Really good fish and all the chips you care to eat. Service was slower than expected, but only because they cooked the food fresh and didn't let it sit under heat lamps. Terrific tartar sauce, crispy filet perfectly cooked. Friendly service.

    Cod burger is not worth the money at all. The "patty" is one short strip of fish. I included my finger in the photo for comparison. It might as well be a kid's meal.

    I'm not really into deep fried greasy food but I was really hungry and decided to have fish taco and fries. It's a great meal deal $6 combo that includes your taco, fries and a drink. Fast service and the cashier up at the front is a great representative of customer service.

There was some arugula, kimchi and 3 pcs of oysters in it. I also ordered fries it was huge! Fries were bit salty and overcooked I tossed it out in the end. I left my water and soda to drink them later after heading to washroom. Staff cleared my water and soda away. I still had half of soda in it. I felt thirsty after eating my food in the end. It'd have been nice if she asked me first before clearing dishes. I don't think I'll go back.

Be prepared to wait, and wait you will. Especially if it's a sunny day. 30 min to order your food, and then another 20-30 min to get it, depending on how busy they are. Outdoor seating only with a bunch of benches and a few tables. I already knew I was going to do take away, so I didn't need to jostle for a seat. Almost everyone else had to do the jostleing. Two piece cod and a salmon tacone. The cod was overcooked. The tacone was good. Fries were crispy and unevenly fried. Meaning some pieces were burnt a little. Still acceptable tho. Hence the 3 ***'s It was decent, but it didn't wow me. Maybe it was an off order day. I like my fish. You can smell the ocean near the pier. Makes me feel I'm surrounded by fish and everything fishy.

The building is definitely on the older side. Lots of wood trim. Reminds me of an old dock.

Not an Entree size and certainly not filling. The rest of the ingredients were so underwhelming. Barely any beats, a few tomatoes and just a heap of shredded carrots over a bed of greens. So very basic for an $18 salad without the chicken. The 2-piece Cod and Chips. The actual battered fish was nice. But....uhhmmm....I think either some of the fries must've fell off our plate on its way to our table, or someone helped themselves with our fries (see pic.) When a dish is called Fish n Chips. Guess what? The highlight is what? ..........The Fish AAANNNDD The Chips. There you go..... Ok. At this point I was ready to go. So, I went to the ladies room and that's where the horror started. It was beyond filthy. I'm talking about the floor, the toilet, the door....on and on.... Ran out. Settled the bill. Grabbed my Purse and left Trolls behind never to return. I do wish you the very best though.

The oysters that day were from Fanny Bay, so they were very plump and juicy!

Make sure to their the house sauces, so many beautiful flavors in just a few bites. The potato crusted halibut and mussels were some of the best I've had. Seriously exceptional quality. They absolutely nailed every dish. The flavors, execution, and freshness were all on point. The only downside was the AC, it was barely doing its job when we visited.
