    3 piece Cod & Fries
    Willy M.

    Came by here recently while visiting the Alki Beach area. This spot is towards the end of Alki Ave towards the point. My kind of fish & chip type place, kinda old school, classic looking by the seaside. Wasn't too busy when we came by in the afternoon, menu board was pretty straightforward, so we just got the 3 Piece Cod and Fries. They cook it to order, takes a few minutes to make, the lady will call your number when it's ready. It was freshly fried up and it looked great! They will give you a side of tartar and ketchup, I think they charge you extra if you want more. Fish was crispy and cod pieces were decent sized, not dry, fries were good, overall it satisfied our fish & chip craving. Prices weren't too bad, service appears to be old school family run, don't expect too much chit chat, they are trying to move the line and get your order going. They do have other options if you don't want fish, like prawns, oysters, calamari, scallops and a few salads. Ill most likely come back when in the area again.

    I saw this place on social and decided to give it a go. It was the hole in the wall type, so I was like heck yeah! I chose this place over Spuds Fish n Chips because they had the combination which gave me a piece of everything. The combination had Halibut, Prawns and Oysters, all about the mixed platter life. Don't expect major decor, it was simple and basic. An elderly man working the counter was just doing his job. So he wasn't thee friendliest but he wasn't rude. But the food can out really fast and fresh! Overall, I wanna try the competition near to get a final verdict. But saying yes to coming back.

    Classic cod fish and chips done right! They cook everything to order so it's fresh and hot when you pick it up. For $25 we got a large cod fish and chips (3 pieces of fish) and a large clam chowder. Paired well with a solid tartar sauce.

    My sister and I got dinner here last week and the man working is sooo sweet. I ordered a 3 piece cod and my sister ordered 2 and we both were so surprised when we got home and saw that he had added an extra piece each for us. Literal angel. Fish was delicious. Loved the home made tartar and malt vinegar. When we were there he was trying to get us to take some Halloween candy haha. Will have to come back more often when I'm craving fish and chips. He's just the sweetest thing.

    Fresh and delicious!! The cod fish and chips and fried shrimp were incredible. Love everything about this place, family run to this day. Staff always friendly. Pro tip: ask for the cocktail sauce for the shrimp.

    Oysters and fries

    The COD is excellent and chowder. Not a fan of halibut. Their combos are very popular but they run out fast.

We came by on a Sunday late afternoon for what we thought would be a quick dinner, and it ended up being such a lovely meal. We ordered the pad thai, pad kee mao, banh xeo, and the mango trout. Even though the restaurant was fairly busy, everything came out in a timely manner and tasted so fresh and thoughtfully prepared. One thing I really appreciated was how flavorful and tender the meats were in each dish. You could tell the proteins were marinated and cared for before being added in, instead of just tossed into a noodle dish as an afterthought like I've experienced at other places. It made such a difference. The mango trout was such a standout. The trout was a great size, and the mango was firm, crunchy, and fresh, which I absolutely loved. The banh xeo was also delicious: thin, crispy, and served with fresh herbs that weren't wilted at all. The nuoc mam was perfect too, not overly sweet, light, balanced, and just right with the banh xeo. Portions were generous, and we ended up taking food home because we couldn't finish everything. That is always a good problem to have. Most of all, I really want to mention how welcoming the service was. Lynda took such great care of us and made the whole experience feel warm and personal. You can tell this is a place with heart behind it, and I truly hope more people in the neighborhood give it a try. It's not easy running a small business, especially in a beautiful but busy area like Alki, and restaurants like this deserve to be supported. We'll definitely be back. Thank you so much, Lynda, for such a wonderful meal and for making us feel so welcome!

Our server was incredibly friendly and professional, we never really waited for anything throughout our meal, and even after needing more time to pick out drinks they seemed to come back at exactly the right moment to take the order.

We shared the Baby Bok Choy salad-ish dish, and I can't describe how good it is--the description in the menu is right about flavors, and they come together perfectly. We also tried a mussel-based cassoulet, which was very good. For entree, we shared the pork chop--best pork chop I've ever had, and something I recommend trying, even if you don't normally that kind of item.
