I looked for something near by my AirBnb, this place popped up as a 5 star, granted with 1 review but it was recent. We drove by, they had street parking right in front.

It's served with garlic butter, sweet soy sauce (taste like kecap bango) and Thai sweet chili sauce. Thought the size is supposedly similar to Tiger prawn but turned out maybe like crawfish. Better order the prawn chowder which has tons of prawns inside (probably almost same quantity as half kg of prawn). You can't see the park from restaurant

We dropped in on a Sunday afternoon (around noon). Quite a few people were getting takeout, including us. The inside is cramped with only a couple chairs and no tables so it's strictly a to go place. The menu has quite the selection including a mix of seafood, sweets, burgers, toasted sandwiches and miscellaneous. There's also a few different combo options (ranges from $12.00 to 35.00 NZD). The $3.00 to 5.00 chips is an extra cost but only if you want an additional scoop. The combo no. 1 to 5 are smaller options ($7.00 to 10.00 NZD). One lame thing is you have to pay for the sauces. It's $0.50 NZD each for ketchup, tartare and aioli sauces. They're of the squeezed variety. - $20.00 combo - 3 fish, 2 sausages, 2 crabsticks, 6 battered mussels and chips. This was more than enough to share between the three of us. It's nicely packaged up but man, it's greasy. Fish was okay but a tad dry; it needed to be dipped in the tartar sauce. The best was the battered mussels; big and fresh. Next best was the sausages. Chips weren't crispy enough and not well seasoned. Cheap place but greasy. I don't get why fish & chips is so popular here.
