    Fish and chips
    Frank L.

    The first visit was the best the food was delicious, cod, fries, had flavor and not dry. The cook did a great job. Second and third visit was horrible, not the same cook. Fish, cod, overcooked/dry, the fish batter had no taste. The fries tasted like the fish possibly cooked in same old oil, disgusting. No matter how much tartar sauce or lemon juice I dumped the fish in it still didn't help. I had to force myself to eat it. I did notice it was mama-san cooking the orders. Very disappointing. Hope you get the help you need in the kitchen, "QUALITY OF FOOD THAN QUANTITY OF CUSTOMERS" .

    My goodness. Y'all... don't sleep on this hidden gem. I absolutely love their menu selection. We had 2 pc catfish combo and a Las Vegas roll plus some prawns. Everything exceeded my expectations. The flavor, freshness, and price are great. They have such a large sushi selection plus fried fish. The breading on the fish is not greasy (like that famous chain) it's so crunchy and has great flavor. Their tartar sauce is also different but in a good way. They have fried desserts too but I had no room and I'm seriously sad about that. Come give them a try you won't be disappointed. It's not often I give 5 stars, honestly I'd give more if I could. They take apple pay, google pay, credit and debit and of course good ole cash money. The establishment is clean, which is a big thing for me and you can feel the cleanliness, it's super cute inside too.

    Perhaps something happened since the last review about three months ago. Food lacked flavors to say the least IMHO. I was desperately wanting to like this place since it's located very near to where I live, and I like fried food especially seafood (I really shouldn't eat fried food, but hey I don't do it every day). Past reviews sounded very promising to me, so I went. To their credit interior ambiance was very nice as I waited for my take-out orders. Nautical themed decor was well fitting for the type of food they serve. In particular, there was an indoor water fountain (photo) that provided very soothing water sound enhancing the ambiance. There's something to be said about the sound of water which gives a very calming effect at least to me. The nice girl told me on the phone there are now seating for seven (7) for dining-in when I called to inquire about their business hours. Food -- I decided to order a fish and calamari & chips combination plate. Unfortunately, it totally lacked wow factor for me. Fish (cod?) fillet was decently sized, but lacked flavoring. Calamari was a total disappointment. There was definitely significantly more batter than calamari itself and lacked flavoring. I could not detect any taste from calamari. They offer variety of rolled sushi. Perhaps I may come back and try some of those. But again, this is a "fast food" fish & chips joint, so I don't expect them to be any better than supermarket boxed sushi, right? I'm glad for folks who had much better experiences evidenced in 5-star reviews in the past. As for me, it's going to be a long while before I have to come back here if ever...too bad for me. My quest for better food continues...

    Walk up order counter. Great food and great prices. Surprised I haven't been here sooner. Small dining area. Food is the star.

    Don't let the outside fool you. The food here is surprisingly fresh and crispy. Fish fillet portions are plentiful. Definitely going to be my go to spot for fried seafood. Didn't try the sushi but the selection looks good. Hands down way better than the "national fried fish chain." Can't believe I'm barely getting to know about this place. My kid gives it a 10 /10, and she never does this, so there it is.

    When you need your HR Salt Fish and chips fix, go see Tugboat for some crispy, fried cod and fries, their sushi is pretty good as well.

    I love codfish. But I strongly recommend catfish, even more! It seems to be breaded with a mixture of corn and wheat. I need to find it out.

    I went with my family to the East Side to do some shopping for my son's Birthday. After we…read morefinished, since he wanted sushi, we looked for a place nearby in Apple Maps. When we arrived, we did not know what to expect (we even looked into the place in order to decide if we were staying or living). WHAT A SURPRISE!!!! The food (all of it) was SPECTACULAR. VERY fresh and tasty. The prices? I still cannot believe we ate so much delicious food for that amount of money. My wife wanted a Salmon Steak. They did not have the right sauce and therefore the dish was not in the menu. I asked if they could do a grilled salmon instead without the sauce. They did. My wife thinks it is probably the best salmon she had since we moved to El Paso. We are definitely going back often.

    A coworker and I came here for a late lunch/ early dinner and I would say it was okay. I wouldn't…read morego as far as saying it's the best or the worst but just alright. The rolls here are much bigger in size than most places and it felt like it was harder to eat without it just falling apart. It was my coworkers first time trying sushi and sadly it didn't really impress him much. I also picked this place due to the reviews but it seems like the name has been changed and maybe the business owner as well because it's now called Sushi Gang. I would say my favorite thing was the Eel nigiri. The dragon roll didn't meet my expectations from other Dragon rolls I had before. The Golden California roll was better than the Dragon roll. The staff was nice but they recommended something else to try and honestly it was very good. I don't even remember what it was but it was like a rice ball. I can't say I would go back here but give it a try and see if it meets your expectations. They seem to short staffed and that could be what went wrong that day but not sure.
