"Located in the Balboa Mesa shopping center, owner Sam Chou’s ‘chippy has been around since 1969 and does exactly what it says on the tin. His most popular menu item is the two-piece fish and chip option ($16) — regulars contend that the light, tempura-like batter and fresh and flaky cod make this rendition of the dish stand out in a city not known for its lack of superlative seafood. Meal options are plentiful, with one, two and three piece fish plates ranging from $10.50 to $21.50. Visitors looking to feed the entire family can order combination plates with up to 16 pieces of generously sized chunks of cod served with fries." - Roxana Becerril
