    Out of the three fish and chips place I had in whilst in London, this was by far hands down the best.  

    The portion of cod was generous, fried to a nice crunchy crisp with tender juicy insides and accompanying chips made for a very hearty meal.

    Hint: doing take away is less cost, however you then have to wait to eat all the fried goodness.

    Out of all the places I've travelled and all the restaurants I've ever dined at--which includes several sketchy restaurants in rural China--my dining experience at North Sea Fish Restaurant has by far been the worst, and it's not even close. The sub-par food might be the only saving grace of this place. The service is terrible, and the security is even worse. A woman got pick-pocketed sitting at the closest table to the front door by an intruder and very little was done about it...other than giving her a phone, an old tablet, and some post-it notes to sort it out herself. The neighborhood has some foot traffic, but not enough to call this place safe by any means.

    Additionally, the waiter who served us was extremely rude. He didn't understand physical and spacial human boundaries at all. He would continually interrupt our meal to talk about "identity security," and on one occasion he reached across our table, a good 8 inches above my food, to make several unnecessary hand gestures while divulging into a passionate rant on identity security.

    Moreover, we never received a portion of our order, and were subsequently charged for it without much of an apology. Save your money, protect your identity, and save your stomach space. There are infinitely better alternatives in the area to try.

    The vinegar is shit, the take-away staff was extremely unfriendly. I used to love this restaurant, but the staff here makes me so disappointed this time. But this time's visit will let me make the decision that I will never come again and I'm going to tell my friends not to come anymore.

    The takeaway place was dirty and unfriendly to be in and the dine in place is very slow. We waited forever!!! The food itself is very greasy with no flavour what so ever. Definitely don't recommend it, especially the eat in, don't waste your money here.

    What makes simply battering fish and deep frying it and potatoes special?!?

    NOTHING!

    There are about a bazillion places doing this in the UK, so what makes this place better? Cannot say: Sat waiting for a menu for my 5 minute limit then left, walked across the street to an Indian restaurant.

    This was our final dinner before heading home to the USA. Fish was cooked perfectly - my husband had the whole grilled fish and I had the fish and chips. Highly recommend this place!
