"Amazing service, amazing food. I’ve tried all the LJ’s in Auckland and nothing compares. Perfectly cooked chips, crispy batter and fresh fish, what more can you ask for. So good I came back twice. Auckland LJ’s step up your game!"
"Decent fish and chips. We also had ceviche’s salad which was average never had a yogurt mix."
"We had a delicious generously sized seafood platter that we shared..the prawns and mussels were cooked to perfection with delectable sauces, served with a turmeric rice and curly fries, with a big tub of yummy cerviche we took home for dinner later...our go to for a tasty well priced quick lunch in town.Great service and friendly staff."
"Big fat pieces of Snapper, in a meal for $21, you can get it crumbed if u don't like batter and can swap out chips for rice aswell. My partners dinner ended up on the floor and they replaced it, they didn't have to but kindly they did. Good people"
"I was one of the lucky recipients in the recent FB Giveaway for a free snapper and chips meal. Whilst there was a bit of a delay because the serving staff weren't aware of the competition, they were very friendly and helpful. The meal was huge and really tasty. There is plenty of fish inside the lovely crisp batter and the chips are very tasty. It was too much food for me. A very generous portion. Waiting at the counter was a good opportunity to see the other dishes on offer. The salads look really good and I'd love to come back and try the Caesar with eggs and prawns. Overall a nice experience. Thank you."
"Our second time having a meal at this venue and they sure did not disappoint us. Fish was fresh and fried perfectly and the muscles were very nice. Have become our fishshop of choice. Please don't compromise your service, we appropriate it. From Putaruru, Thank You"
"These girls/ladies serving are amazing! They were so flat out when my family & i visited, i just wanted to say - your service is recognized, great customer service without losing your cool and food was coming out steadily. Definately enjoyed all meals without any flaws. Keep up the great work."
