Cockney Kings Fish & Chips

Best fish and chips in town , place is always busy , service is always great , it's definitely must eat

worst service ever by Gen Z, Jeanette P , poor attitude zero service,told me you want the manager, ate there lots, all rest girls are great , i'm surprised they haven't let her go yet.... If we decide to go back, I guarantee you she won't be serving us, food is great good atmosphere

Quality fish and chips in North Burnaby. Fish can be steamed, grilled or deep fried. Fish choices include cod, haddock, salmon and halibut! They also have soup and salad. Restaurant is located in Kensington Plaza near Safeway. Great service!

Got a chance to re-visit this one lately - tucked inside the Kensington Plaza with the Safeway.

Monday- Wednesday they offer their all you can eat fish and chip special ~
And since it was a Wednesday , that is what we indulged in.

Pricing for the special and other options on the menu seemed fair and reasonable -

Fries were honestly pretty lackluster - there was no flavor what so ever , but condiments are available on each table - but would of preferred some sort of seasoning?

Fish was fine - batter was nice and crunchy - ( now craving more crunch , thinking about it) - Oil used seemed clean as fish was coming out golden.

In terms of service - it was on the slower end of things - waitress doesn't really check on you - however when she does - she was very friendly. The other service members basically ignore you - seems like they have the "not my table , not my problem" mentality - but not sure.

Will likely visit again in the future~

I used to think fish and chips need to be a La carte since it's so rare to have good ones, cockney AYCE nights changed my mind, it is sooooo delicious and the fish is huge, recommend to starve urself a little bit before u go otherwise u won't last two rounds. We got a bad corner seat so it was very hard to get server's attention, but otherwise we were pretty happy.

I have been trying to eat more fish lately so we went for some fish and chips!

Between the three of us, we got a bowl of soup, one cod dinner with two extra pieces of cod, a kids meal, and their new chicken burger! Loved how they gave the little one a game sheet with crayons to play with. The chicken strips from the kids meal was very juicy and tender. Not dry at all. Their new chicken burger was surprisingly delicious!

The batter on the fish is one of my favourites. Crispy but not too thick that it gets in the way of the fish. The pieces are always massive with a big pile of chips. I ordered their soup last time and the little one loved the veggies in it. So we definitely ordered it again this time.

As always, huge portions, and we ended up taking a box of leftovers home.

Came here after reading the reviews and hearing recommendations from several people..

The staff is very kind and courteous..

The location is very convenient and accessible..

The place didn't have a single table empty and seems to be a favorite among a lot of folks..

Ordered a mix of Cod and Halibut with chips. The taste was decent but it wasn't as light as was expected i.e. a little much on the oily side for me..

They also do bottomless chips which is nice...

May try this place again and order some other items like Calamari that I didn't get to try in the first visit...

I have been coming here for well over 15 years and what never ceases to amaze me is how the flavour and quality of the fish and chips never changes! The gravy for the fries also hits different and is much more richer and aromatic than your usual gravy. I also recommend the sandwiches as they are bigger portioned than the fish and chips if you are a big eater. The ambiance kind of reminds me of old school diners which you don't see much anymore!

It's an amazingly cute family-esque restaurant with lots of selection and affordable pricing. From what I experienced and witnessed while I was there, the decor and the staff created a friendly space for people of all ages. The menu I also felt was reasonably priced, generous and large in portion while maintaining deliciousness.

The tartar sauce complements the fish so well adding that needed hint of sour to the heavy frying. Although it looks like a lot to digest, the haddock and salmon were delectable and not as heavy as it might seem. I personally preferred the haddock to the salmon because it was a lot more light but that's for the individual to decide. The gravy and cheese for the poutine was divine and I inhaled everything.

My only nitpicks was that the calamari dinner didn't say it had onions in it - would have wanted it without onions but ultimately everything else was great.
