Northridge Fish & Chips

Fresh, delicious, authentic. This fish is soooo yummy and the service is outstanding!! Thank you! We will be back! 😁

***EXPERIENCE 3*** (Positive) The proprietor of Northridge Fish & Chips has The HUMAN Touch. He's always smiling and friendly with a positive attitude. He seems to appreciate his customers, and from my observation, they appreciate him. I know I do. But more importantly, he fries up some incredibly tasty food. I like to order Fish and Chips with Fried Clams on the side. I always leave satisfied. ***EXPERIENCE 2*** (Positive) Every time I come here the food is outstanding. I love the Fish & Chips here, I get it all the time. This time I decided to get some clams instead of chips. The fried clams here are fantastic. The breading is crispy, but the clams are tender and delicious. ***EXPERIENCE 1*** (Positive) I've been a frequent patron of this establishment for over a year. The food here is not fast. But, it is good. And, I can assure you. In my experience the quality has been consistent. The owner is fantastic. I'm glad to support this business.

Grew up going here. My Go To for Fish n Chips. Always exactly the way I like it. Cash only, but that is a good thing. Owner is great! Food is freshly cooked when you order it. Highly recommend it. The best!

So, we went to this place because of the reviews, even the LA Eater article. It didn't look great, but hey, I know some amazing places look like dumps, so we tried it. If you've ever had decent fish and chips, you'd know this was awful the second it hit the table. Overcooked, burnt tasting, and that oil? It tasted like they'd been using it for a week! Even the fries sucked. The calamari? Don't even get me started. Weirdly, tons of people kept picking up takeout. The guy behind the counter, who was also the cook, was super nice though. Never again. Total waste of money.

Always great service, just recently picked up for the Big Game and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the fish & chips and shrimp 👍🏽

Cash only! I came in here on a rainy day for lunch, the service is good and the food was simple but comforting. Cozy vibe, would recommend!

Love this little business. Cash only and that's fine. The fish is of good size and so most and tasty. Fries are classic lite well. The batter is superb. So crispy. Highly recommend. Everything is made fresh so please be patient. It's worth the wait

The employees are very kind and attentive. The fish is perfectly crispy on the outside and buttery/flakey on the inside.... Sooo gooodd. The fries were amazing as well. The house sauce was amazing too!

I've been coming here since I was a child. These people are amazing if you really want real fish and chips from the old country, you come here that's my recommendation to my friends.

It's been a while since I've been here. First of all parking was difficult on a Saturday evening. There's a couple of restaurants in this little plaza so it was hard to find a spot. I got the 4 pc fish and chips combo. It was fried crispy, so with the fries. The fries portion was smaller than normal as from when I remembered it. The fish, I'm sorry to say, tasted bland and without flavor. Could they have changed fish vendors? Is it old? I really tried to enjoy it but no amount of salt and vinegar and/or tartar sauce could make the fish taste good. They were really just plain and bland. Same older Asian man with friendly service. Can't figure it out why, but I have to be honest that I was less than happy. I'll come again to see if today was an aberration.

I've been wanting to try this place for so long now. Every time I've gone to Shakey's, I would tell myself next time, I will try this place. So after about a year, I finally made it in. I was so looking forward to this place due to all of the positive reviews. I decided to try the 2 piece fish & chips lunch special for about $8 and a side order of clam strips. They are CASH ONLY and will not take Venmo or Zelle. When I walked in, it was totally empty with just 1 person in the back, which I'm assuming is the owner. Placed my order and waited a good 15 minutes for the food to be ready. I have to say that the food looked pretty sad IMO. I first bit in to the fries and there was no seasoning on it whatsoever. I didn't see any S&P on the table so I just dipped it in ketchup. That made it better, but would have liked S&P. Next, I tried the fish. It had a nice crunch to it and the batter was light. Though a little bit greasy. The fish was overcooked because it was tender and the edges was a little bit tough. Again, the fish was not seasoned either. The clam strips were just ok and definitely something I would not order again. Overall, I would not be coming back here when Shakey's is just right next door if I want to eat something fried. The Yelp community definitely let me down this time.

A solid unassuming fish and chips joint that's been in business for ages. First thing to note, they are cash only. Which personally I prefer over the no cash businesses. The service is great and the food is made-to-order so you know the fish will be hot and crispy. The fries are decent and the fish is great. Pricing is pretty affordable too. They aren't chasing after trends, just serving up good food consistently. I know Northridge Fish & Chips will do the job when I want some fish & chips. Parking is usually easy. No restrooms. I'll be back as long as they're around!

I had fish and chips. The fish was fresh and the fries were okay but there was not the flavor I expect from fish and chips. Something is missing. I asked for and received malt vinegar. I was a large, half full bottle and although it smelled right but not much flavor.

Best Fish n Chip's in LA.... no question... owner is nicest dude... my favorite! Highly recommend to all!

Reminder me of Al English chippy from UK - all freshly made but unlike UK it's not 1 big piece of fish but smaller pieces which is norm in US from what I can tell. Cash only and as it's all freshly made, it can take 10-15 min but worth it.

Fish and chips always excellent. Sparse indoor dining area, but Asian man always polite and friendly. One of the best fish and chips anywhere.

Great chippy in the valley!! Fish always fried to perfection and not overly greasy. A valley institution!

One of the best fish and chips place i've ever tried, and it still remains to be one of my favorites! The workers there are also very kind and friendly, but I recommend calling to place an order since it may take longer if you just walk in. The inside of the restaurant has many seatings as well. Also ask for extra tartar sauce!

A small spot but if you have a craving for fish and chips this place will not disappoint. Usually we go for the 15 piece fish and chips with onion rings and fries. This allows for leftovers and also just as good the next day. Each order is made fresh so you are not getting something which has been sitting for a long period of time. Basiaclly made to order. The flavors are delicious and the portions are just right. The staff is friendly and always helpful if you have any questions or would like suggestions on what to select. Parking is in their lot.

I love this spot. Always delicious! Usually I am able to call in my order and it's ready by the time I get there - I pay, greet and bless the cook and get on my way. Well, today being Good Friday - not so. This is not a complaint but rather a suggestion - I want to help out the business as well as my fellow diners with regard to service during any holiday where fish is on the menu. Do not think you will call in your order and it will be ready when you get there. On holidays they don't cook the order until you walk in and pay for it. It goes on a list in order but the cashier doesn't have them drop it in until you get there - first time experiencing this today and though I was patient and didn't complain - I wasn't happy because I asked her how long it would be and she said it was coming right up all the while I watched her tell her mother to prepare orders after mines. My suggestion to this business is to have two separate lines, one for call in orders and one for new orders - or on that day DO NOT TAKE CALL IN ORDERS. Then we can expect to both stand in line and sit and wait. I literally waited 56 minutes for one order. I was happy they were busy but I had two more stops to make, could have come back. Please do better, thanks!

Not the nicest place at all but fish is cooked fresh to order. Place your order at the front counter and the same guy drops the fish in the oil right in front of you so there's a bit of a wait but better to have fresh cooked crunchy fish than fish sitting under a heat lamp. Fish was crunchy even when I got home and wasn't oily at all. The fish size is much smaller than I remember but who hasn't reduced portion size over the years. Loved the clam strips (wish they gave more) and fried shrimp too. My only complaint was that the fries were soggy when I got home and probably could have used more salt. They have about 5-6 tables if you want to eat there. When I went, everyone is basically ordering to go. It's a cash only establishment and didn't see an ATM nearby so just come prepared.

I love this place - is it a high end place with table service. No. A little on the basic no frills takeout place side but the food makes up for it in every way. The man behind the counter is a doll and knows his regulars. Not a take a date to place at all but good place for a good meal to take home to the family. They tend to close early if business is slow so anything after 7pm. Call first. One of the few places in the area that has fried oysters

I went for the fish and chips. They were ok but I didn't care for the way they cooked the fish. It is breaded and I really prefer a beer batter. Everything was fresh and fair priced. Next time I will try something different.

Once upon a time this place was probably an H Salt but it's so much better than that now. My dad would come here for years for the fried fish and every time he brought it home I would asked him where it was from. "Deep in the valley," he would say. "Somewhere off Devonshire." With the advent of Yelp and pictures, I was finally able to find this place myself. I spoke to the owner and found out that he was the 2nd generation owner and he did in fact remember my dad after I showed him a picture. "Your father always comes with your mom and asks for extra tartar sauce," the owner said. The fish is deliciously crispy. Even after bringing it home 20 minutes later, it still retained its solid crunch. Make sure to get extra tartar sauce. The containers are tiny and it gives the fish much more flavor. You seriously need to come here if you're a fan of fish and chips. One of THE best places in the valley. Wherever you're coming from, the visit to this strip mall outpost is so worth it.

This place has been around for at least 40 years. The best fish and chips I have ever tasted. Better than UK, France, or any British pub anywhere. Each order owner makes fresh. It is a home in wall. Has a few tables but I always do takeout. I believe they only take cash. Fish is delicious and fresh. Chips are done just right. Make sure to get malt vinegar. Do yourself a favor. Check it out.

Parking: small plaza This place is ran by a older man who's very sweet. I liked their fish n chips but I love the hush puppies even more. I think this place is cash only.

Have been taking out fried fish , chips, mushrooms from here for 40 years! Made to order. Crispy, Greasy and delicious. Am happy they are still in business. Not a place to dine in although he has a few tables. In corner of mini mall between Shakey's and Hunan Chinese restaurant on Reseda a block off Devonshire.

This is as simple and as basic as it gets. Fish and chips! This place specializes in just that. It's a small place that's been in the neighborhood for years. It also won "Best Fish and Chips" award in 2018. Once you walk in and place your order, you can watch the cook prepare your order (batter the fish and place it in the fryer) right in front of you. It doesn't get any easier. I was able to eat inside and it doesn't get any fresher than that. My fish was fried to a perfect golden brown. And when I broke a piece off, the steam from the fish was coming out. Once I dipped a piece into the tartar sauce, the piece just melted in my mouth. The batter was crispy and flaky and the fries is the perfect compliment to the fish. They have other items on the menu like shrimp and calamari, but you have to order their fish. You won't be disappointed.

Came here a few days ago dinner. I didn't think to check the time, and came in after they had just closed. The guy that was working was nice enough to still serve us and went out of his way to open back up. He made us fresh fish and chips, which were awesome and totally hit the spot. Really love this 'mom and pop' shop, and will definitely be back!

3.75 stars. I had been wanting to try this place for a very long time. I've lived in the area for over 10 years, and I'm a sucker for good fish and chips, especially authentic British style. On a Friday well after Lent (I learned my lesson going to a fish place on a Friday in lent ), I decided to finally pull the trigger and stop by. It was a one man shop. Nice guy. No high tech anything here, takes your order on a good old fashioned spiral notebook. The pictures are mouth watering, fish looks hearty and exactly what I was feeling that day. Fries: plain and super basic, like everyone has said there isn't any seasoning on them...which my wife liked. I could've done with a light sprinkle of salt... but that's totally fine, we can add salt at home! The best part of the fries were that they were fries crisp, well done, exactly how I like my fries. Fish: I think it was cod but could be haddock. They looked frozen then battered, but I could be wrong. The point is, the fish is cooked to order and tasted fresh whether or not it was frozen. The fish was also not seasoned, but again forgivable. Fish was dense, and not very flaky. The batter was actually perfect, not too thick, but also not too thin. Wish the fish was a little more flaky, too dense for my taste. Sides: Fried zucchini--this was my fave part. Dipped in the same batter as the fish, the zucchini was very fresh and had its own crunch. Very nice.. also having a light batter made this fantastic. Slaw: excellent pairing to all this fried food. Not too sweet light and fresh. Slaw needs to be simple and they did this right. Would definitely go for this again. Hush puppies were definitely meh. Dry, not fluffy and only the slightest essence of the hush puppies you are familiar with. Fried shrimp: basic...on par with any other restaurant. I'd come back...and stick with the winners: simple fish and chips (2 pieces), slaw. Oh... THE TARTAR SAUCE IS AMAZING!

Been coming here for years. I've moved to a different state now and I will always come here whenever I'm in the area. One of the best gems in the valley.

Love this little business. Cash only and that's fine. The fish is of good size and so most and tasty. Fries are classic lite well. The batter is superb. So crispy. Highly recommend. Everything is made fresh so please be patient. It's worth the wait.

Very happy with my food and the price was decent. Cooked too order and great service. The fish were not oily and was cooked to perfection. The fried needed some salt but that's ok. Overall It was a good experience trying their food And will come back again soon!

Mixed experience. The greats: The man (owner?) was really nice. Took proper COVID precautions and was really nice. Cooked to order! The price is right! No eating in so my blushing bride and I ate in the car while parked in the nearby neighborhood. How romantic, huh? The fish was very tasty and flakey vJust oily enough to be fried fish. Yummy with the provided tartar sauce. The mediocre: The chips (fries) were fresh and tasted like a fried potato. Would have been in the "great" category if they were even minimally salted. But none whatsoever. The quantity was good for a lunch portion. The miss: The hush puppies. Ate a couple; threw our most. Greasy and dry. No flavor. Described by the love-of-my-life, "fried dust". No napkins in the to-go bag. Conclusion: We will return with hopes that other offerings are as good as the fish.

Great little fish & chips spot. Actually basically an old H-salt fish & chips store that was debranded but still serving good fried fish and chips, shrimps and hush puppies just like H-salt did. Friendly service and reasonable prices for a take out fried seafood place. Plenty of parking in the large parking lot. May look old as it has been there since for some 60+ years but still good fish & chips!

We really like this place on those rare occasions to eat fried fish, more so during Lent. The family works hard and are very nice people. The only criticism I would like to offer is that when phone orders are placed, and told it will be ready in about 15 to 20 minutes, it should be reasonably accurate. Unfortunately last visit I ordered at 6:22pm and told it would be ready in 15 to 20 minutes. I arrived at about 6:44pm and waited until 7:15pm for 2 orders. And it seemed like in person orders were actually faster! Ugh. Anyway, I will be patient because the owners are such nice people and the fish taste great!

This place is overpriced and overrated to me. 10 pcs fish kettle with fries has increased to $34.10 from $27 listed on the menu that posted on Yelp. I lived in the UK for three years and tried many fish and chips there. The fish here is just ok, but it cannot compare to what I have in London. The fries are kind of soggy, and some have broken into shorter pcs that less than an inch crumbles. We have high hope for this place based on Yelp's review and it is a big disappointment for us.

I tried this place out due to the reviews. I'm not sure if it was because this is a post-pandemic experience, but it was severly lacking. The older gentleman taking and preparing the order was super friendly and sweet, however, the food was really disappointing. The fried oysters were unusually small. Almost shrunken even. The fish really had no taste, and the french fries were soggy. They tasted almost as if they were left over from the previous day and just reheated. The worst part of it was the portions of the tartar sauce given. The order of 2 fishes came with 1 super small cup of sauce. I understand times are a little harder now, but I really wish businesses wouldn't skimp on their items. Maybe ask the customer if they would like additional sauce. Needless to say, the sauce was gone after 2 dips. It was very disappointing. Tartar sauce is the secret to the fish & chips dish.

My sister and I stopped here when we were out and about and had to bring food home to our husbands and brother. Just a heads up for anyone who wants to come here - they only that CASH. Luckily between both of us we had enough and the prices are not bad so it was doable, just be prepared. The food here is worth it. Because we were feeding 5 people, we pretty much ordered everything off of the menu. The guy behind the counter was very nice and we saw him batter everything and fry it off fresh. He also seasoned everything very well. Even though we had about a 30 minute drive home, the food was still hot and crispy. My favorite thing had to be the hush puppies. They are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and salty... just how I like them. I also enjoyed that they had some other options than just fish and chips. They also had shrimp, oysters, clams, and calamari. All of it was good. If we are in the neighborhood again, we definitely have to come back here... we will just remember to hit a bank first.

My pop and I love this spot! Been coming here for over 20 years and not a single inconsistency with anything on the menu. Owner/cook is really kind as well!

If you like fish and chips come here. It is a must. I just got back from London and I literally couldn't tell the difference from this and some great pub food. Bring cash!

I really love fish and chips but what I really despite is that when people are there and they're not meant to work there you asking for hot sauce simple hot sauce they say you want this one or you want this one you tell them which is hot the one that is already packed and you know the one that is already packed is ketchup that's what it is so if you don't want to work don't work stop being lazy and 1/10 the customer correctly # and yet I still tip

Good place for fish and chips without having to drive to a beach city. Food is cooked to order;therefore, the stuff comes out piping hot. Best eaten right away vs. take-out. The fish tasted moist, flakey, and batter perfectly crisp. Very good. Personally for my taste, the batter on the fish or fish itself could 've used more seasoning. Tartar sauce, salt, and malt vinegar to the rescue;and l was good to go! The store is pretty small and outdated, but at least clean. No complaints.

Hands down - the best fish and chips in the Valley. The fish is always nice a crispy as are the fries. I really like the calamari but you only get a few pieces.

I had lunch there again today. As always, the food was good and the service was excellent. He brought my lunch to my table and made sure that I had everything I needed. Thank You for Everything!!!!

The owner is very nice gentleman. When I went, he was a one man operation. The best part of the fish is the awesome crispy batter which stayed super crispy even after 6 hours (had some for lunch and saved some for dinner). It was light, not thick, so he definitely knows hoe to fry. The onion rings was lightly battered and just as crispy. Really good! Although not as crispy a batter, the flavor of both the calamari and tempura zucchini was really good. Ample parking in a private lot as well as street parking. If I may, the fish and chips should have been seasoned with salt and pepper after coming off the fryer. It was on the bland side. Also napkins would have been great considering it was deep fried, so there is some grease involved. Two small things that can definitely improve the experience. With that said, we'll come back again...but will BYO salt and napkins...just in case :-) LOL! Oh, by the way...Cash Only, so leave your credit card behind.

It's different now. For years they gave you one large fish and one medium fish. When I came here last month, they gave you two medium sized fish. Now they give you these small ones. They must have changed their fish supplier. I'm not sure if this is permanent or if this is temporary due to the pandemic. I was under the impression they were going to give me two medium sized fish so this time I ordered 3 fish. I got 4 small ones instead. It's a lot flatter and smaller. The batter tastes the same but the fish is smaller. I noticed a sign on the wall to let their customers know that the fish is different. I'm giving this place a 4 star. I'm not going to hate on them. They got to do what they got to do to survive this crazy time. I'll return. We need to support these small businesses. If we don't, Northridge will turn into Valencia where everything is corporate. If you want Mexican food, they have taco bell. If you want Chinese, they have Panda. If you want pizza, Valencia has Dominos. It's awful up there.

For a hole-in-the-wall location, the best fish and chips you'll find in the Valley. To get anything better, you'll have to drive out to beach cities. You do have to question as to how often they change their cooking oil. Because the plaza that it sits in smells only of fish and chips (even though surrounded by Micky-Dees, Shakeys, and a couple other food spots). But then again, isn't that true for any good old fried food spot?! So can't hate on them for that! Apparently there's parking in the rear. Not sure how to get to it but if you can't find parking in the front, don't just up and leave. No restrooms available. So don't drink too much. Cash only because why would they want to pay fees? Definitely a spot to try if you want a good fry! No dieting here!

I really enjoyed this place. The fish was fresh and delicious. The portions weren't too big and weren't too small. They were just right for the price we paid. The food was fresh and hot and we'll definitely be back soon.

Very fresh fish fried to order. The fries were great as well. They have clams, oysters and shrimp which we'll have to try next time. Service was fast and friendly and prices very good. Bring cash

Food was top notch, the place looked nice, and the owner was super friendly. Would highly recommend!!

This place has been there for ages and it is only now that I paid them a visit. I had the two piece fish and chips with a small order of zucchini sticks. The fish pieces are big and they are battered and deep fried. I found that the fish was not completely cooked in certain parts. The fries were good but they were bland without any salt or seasoning. The zucchini sticks (5 of them) were also big and they too were battered and fried. Really liked these. If there was one common denominator with the food was that it was very greasy.

Terrible place to eat no bathrooms very low choices in the worst no no credit card so ATMs only cash $20 bills only that is extremely ridiculous no wonder how it's always empty

This location has been here a long time, with that said. The interior is still the same interior going back at least 20 years ago. Old and out dated. Seats only about 14 people inside. There's no appeal to the interior. Really surprised of the lack of cleaningness of the tables and of the interior. The tables where very greasy not a pleasant seating arraignment. There's really not a strong ventilation system to extract the cooking of the Fish that's made in the front of you as your sitting. Sad thing about it is you come smelling clean and when you leave you smell like cooked oil.Not really going to get great service with a staff of 2. Canned soda's and bottle water. No public restroom or even a place to wash your hands. Also this location is Cash only. The fish and fries however did have a good taste tho. It's to bad that the owner doesn't invest in a upgrade to better the the dinning experience and upgrading the interior for his customers.I would recommend to take the order togo. 022/100 Yelp Challenge.(2017)

I just tell you the food is really tasty. The shrimp is incredible good. The price is $awesome!

You can call your order ahead if you'd like for pick up I always just order there and wait, the service is quick and the food comes out decently fast, it is made to order so you don't have to worry about getting any cold food ever! The fish is always light and crispy the fries are always perfect I've been going to multiple locations my entire life and this one is my favorite, it's probably the last decent spot to get a no frills great deal on amazing tasting fish and chips! I always order the "double catch" which includes fish chips and a side skewer of fried zucchini & fried shrimp for $12 it's amazing I recommend this spot to anyone who likes crispy fish and chips Hope they don't go anywhere cause I'd be lost without the double catch

This place has some good and bad quality. I'll start with the bad which are essentially that the place is kinda small and not really nice in terms of the indoor restaurant. They also only accept cash which is pretty inconvenient. Other than this the food is actually really good. The fish is made fresh right in front of u so for sure u know it's not some microwaved junk. It also is pretty crunchy and has very good taste. The prices are also reasonable so you get what u pay for. The workers are also very nice, good customer service. Id recommend this spot for some decently legit fish n chips. Not as good as Ventura or those beachside restaurants, but for the valley it's close enough!
