    My 1st time. Bad experience! Chips were reheated and American hotdog mushy! Partners Snapper ok but the tub of tartare sauce couldn’t get any smaller for the price!! Over priced for whole experience. Not a good look..

    We have been regular customers at Takapuna Fish Shop in Lake Road, for well over 30 years. We live locally. It is convenient for us. The new owners are performing well, providing good quality food, always freshly prepared They are always helpful and reliable for telephone orders. I would recommend Takapuna Fish Shop, especially if you enjoy fish & chips on a summer evening, with sea breezes and sand between your toes on Takapuna Beach, it's not more than a couple of hundred or so metres away.

    Great fish, we had snapper. However, the chips were a real let down and the fritters were definitely a disappointment. Don’t think it deserved to make the top fish and chips list from the article (why we tried it)

    Exactly what I’d expect from fish and chips, was not disappointed. Tasty chips and plenty of options on the menu. They also let you pick fish out the window to be cooked as one of the options. Would highly recommend trying their grilled fish, very tasty. I do miss their deep fried mars bar.

    The food was average but they had small serving. Tried the snapper and a few other items, and it was as standard as any other fish and chip shop. Was very let down by serving size, spent $40+ for two people, and left hungry.

    Fast, fresh and great for the price. I ordered the Lunch Special #1 for $12 and got a great piece of fish in the burger that was very fresh, and freshly fried chips. It's a good amount for the price and it also comes with a drink. I would recommend.

    I have lived in takapuna most of my life, so have seen owners of that shop come and go. new young couple bought in last year or so, finally got around to trying snapper and chips and liked it, a lot. to make sure, went again tonight ordering for father and myself, and it we both agree, the guy makes a mean snapper and chips, and dad even had some of the banana fritter, which he initially mocked the idea of, lol.

    Some of the worst chips I have ever eaten. I ordered a portion of chips last week and they were so bad I threw them away before getting half way through them. Not only were the chips poor quality, they were weighed on a scale before being put in the fryer to ensure the portion size was correct. If this wasn't bad enough for a fish & chip shop, they charge you 50cents for a tiny little container of vinegar. I've never known a fish & chip shop anywhere else to charge for vinegar and weigh out the portion of chips to control portion sizes. Had the chips been good quality maybe I could overlook this, but they were genuinely terrible.

    Fish had to be re-cooked… and they re-cooked my burger aswell to make sure it was hot 🔥… Awesome service!

  • 4/5 Nakita B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great takeaways.. Food was okay .. A little expensive.. Fast pace serving .. Store could do with updates though ..

  • 5/5 Eden 1 year ago on Google
    Best fried fish I’ve had compared to all the other fish and chips shop. The fried Tarakihi is the way to go every time. The fries are mediocre but the fish makes up for it.

    Great local fish and chips. Always consistent quality just around the corner from takapuna beach.

  • 5/5 Lea S. 2 years ago on Google
    We tried TFS today with seeing it on the Fish and chips article, thoroughly enjoyed all we ordered snapper, seadog, scallops and potato fritters All was perfect! Except for the smaller potatoes fritters I think they put in complimentary as they were not as good as the 2xbig ones I ordered, the smaller ones were not soft inside nor like the big ones so we didn't eat it ...but waste not we shared them to the birds But everything else yum! Frankie loved the snapper biggy!

    Chips over cooked, fish very questionable, the donut over cooked with no cinnamon nor sugar. For the price of this meal I expected a heck of a lot better.

  • 2/5 Gavin D. 2 years ago on Google
    Been here twice now and both times have experienced old oil with batter that is over cooked. Second time I arrived and the guy serving was clearly sick, he kept sniffing and coughing, often over the area where the food was being cooked. It’s our local but will be venturing further out next time.

🫤 Not a fan. I couldn’t drink the cocktail, it was cloying and unbalanced. We also received our food first and waited well over 5 minutes for drinks - they should really hold the food until you have your drinks with you. No one wants to stare at expensive small bites going cold while you await a bever...
