Amazing Food, Great Vibes, but Bring a Jacket! This was our second time having lunch at Cockney Kings Fish & Chips, and it didn’t disappoint! The food is absolutely amazing. We tried all types of fish, and both the cod and haddock were outstanding—perfectly crispy with a lovely texture and no fishy smell whatsoever. The onion rings and shrimp were equally scrumptious—just chef's kiss! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff are incredibly friendly, making the experience even better. The only thing to note is that it can get quite chilly inside, so be sure to bring a jacket! Still, that minor detail won’t stop us from coming back for more. Highly recommend!
Very friendly, very nice, great at making people feel welcome. Fish and chips are really good, but I cannot handle the grease, so that's on me. I took it to go, but I think it's better in the restaurant. Chips were a little soft when I got home. Again, on me. After a while I'll go and try in the restaurant and see if it's better. Staff are lovely though.
My first time and it didn’t disappoint. Service was great. Everyone was friendly from the chef to the waitresses. I had cod fish and chips and the batter for the fish was so light. It was delicious … Will definitely visit again There was plenty on the plate to fill me up. Thank you Cockney king!
While the food was decent, the decor is definitely due for a refresh. One notable limitation is that the grilled or steamed options are not available for the All You Can Eat package, which might be a disappointment for some. However, they do offer a floured option for those that don’t enjoy the thick batter. With a bit of renovation and menu tweaking, this place has the potential to become a real catch!
This place serves the best fish and chips in town! The fish is perfectly crispy on the outside while staying tender and flaky on the inside. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable, making it a great value. The deal gets even better from Monday to Wednesday when they offer an all-you-can-eat option, making it an even more cost-effective choice for a satisfying meal.
The fish is all always cooked to perfection and it's very affordably priced.. I felt like I was back in my childhood when you got your fish and chips wrapped in newspaper.. Nostalgically captured by this place.. It's great for all occasions. Family work friends. It really doesn't matter the event .the atmosphere is viable and will accommodate everyone.
The fish and chips are really good! The pre-course bread is cold. I like the chips there. The restaurant is a bit crowded and busy since it is very popular.
Got the Cod Family Pack and an extra piece of salmon for our family dinner last night. They only started packing my orders when I got there to maintain freshness. Service was fast and efficient. The batter got a bit soggy when I got home but still had a nice crisp to it. The flesh was soft and succulent, and went perfectly well with the tartar sauce. The chips were pretty good as well. Really enjoyed everything and definitely going back for more!
Best fish and chips around.
Parking: Lotsa stalls Food
Just a little bit cold, bring your jacket.
Always great!!
Very good, fish was some of the best l have had outside of the UK.... Good friendly service
Still as good as when I was a child! The best everything
The salmon is my favourite. Cockney and Kings has been my favourite fish n chips spot since the 90s. Great service, consistently good quality food and comfortable atmosphere Dietary restrictions: They have gluten friendly options including grilled or unbattered fish
Whenever we visit Burnaby from Ontario, we make it a point to go here. We are never disappointed by the quality of food and service.
Everything was good but they don t have enough servers. One of service helped us on her lunch break. Thank you!
The fish & chips were great.
For the price yoy pay for 1 piece of halibut hardly any fish all batter lots of fries was not happy with their food
Best deal for AYCE fish and chips! We were full after only one plate but it was still a good deal because we got free drinks:)
Emazing.
The staff is very friendly and helpful, they are well prepared and super kind. Food was delicious, I ordered the Cod and Halibut fish and chips combo.
My partner and I normally love this place! Yesterday we decided to grab some halibut and chips to go. The halibut was so dry as though it was overcooked and everything was incredibly bland. Not sure if this was an off night but definitely wont be trying it again in a hurry.
Best fish and chips ever!
As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by multiple servers. Great decorations and a comfortable environment. Drinks were affordable and tasted delicious. I had a $7.50 mimosa which had a fantastic presentation, portion, and taste. The $3.50 OK Spring daily special was enjoyable too! Calamari Dinner was the best I d ever had, perfect in texture and flavour. It came with fries, which were thick cut and crispy! Cod and Shrimp tacos were flavourful and well plated. Fresh pico de gallo and not too heavy frying. Although everything is fried, it tastes of clean oil and doesn t feel greasy. Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu!
Best Fish and Chips in the City
Kayla was a great server. She is always very attentive . She is cheerful person and its a pleasure to see that. The Halibut is to Die for.
Went for lunch on a weekend. Great service and excellent fish in generous portions, perfectly battered and fried. Definitely going bak next time I have a craving for fish and chips.
Oysters and chips. Really expensive but I nearly went tor more.
Was taken here by a friend who believes this place has the best fish and chips in town. She is right. I found that the servers are the friendlest and most the helpful Ive had in awhile. Fish was tasty and not overly-battered. Place was packed and happy customers were enjoying their meals at every table. Highly recommend!
Good English style fish and chips
This is the very best Fish & Chips restaurant in Burnaby with your choice of traditional deep fried fish or the healthier grilled cod, halibut or wild salmon versions. Carissa and the other wait staff and kitchen staff are friendly, polite, and attentive and the food is very reasonably priced. Most definitely worth a visit and after you have done so you will be back for more ... I posted this 4 years ago and now in August, 2024 they are still the best!
Nice place for traditional fish and chips. -calamari or fish tacos .
Great+ We both had 1 piece Halibut dinner. Fish was terrific, lots of fries, and great service. A treat! Food
Undoubtably one of the best fish and chips restaurants in the Greater Vancouver area Very taste full and right amount of light batter Parking: Located in a plaza so parking is not an issue
The staff here always so pleasant and even when they re up against the odds like today, one of their fires was down and they had a full house and they still got me my takeout order in 10 minutes. Amazing service.
Fried fish is really delicious Just ordered the wrong chips side... so many
Thier soup tasted better than the prawns. Was so good. Shoulda just had the soup. Thanks
I went after long time to have my nice meal before weekend but I totally disappointed with new server/ cashier there ,she was so rude .
Food is amazing but cashier......she is no where near by hospality business.
Bad bad service is so bad
Highly recommend! Yummy
Love that place The ladys very pleasant Thanks for good service Food : 5/5
Ordered cod burger, basically I paid for a whole lot of batter. Very thin layer of fish, mostly veggies loaded. Bun although grilled was cold on the top. Fist and last experience.
Definitely the best fish and chips place in Vancouver! Everything is fried in beef fat, which gives an extra special flavor. The prices are extremely fair for the food quality. Services is excellent, food is excellent. Also the best poutine ever. Definitely a place to go. If you dont like fried fish they have other options to cook it . Vegetarian options: Coleslaw and mushy peas Parking: Street parking paid or free 2 hour limit Wheelchair accessibility: It is located at street level
Good food especially all you can eat
Excellent food and service. Appreciate Cameron s attention and service too!! Highly recommend!!
Steamed or grilled options are very helpful.
Order takeout wasnt ready for additional 15 minutes after time estimated. That would have been okay, I was patient and waited without hurrying them. Disappointed to find after getting home that they completely missed my onion rings order. The food I got was good for the 3 kinds of fish and 1 order of chips. Unfortunately was hungry still as the rings order didnt make it. I understand about homemade tartar sauce costing extra but the amount you get is ridiculously little for the price charged. Decided to just get the standard packets after seeing how small the homemade were.
Absolutely love Cockney King Fish & Chips! The fish is always fresh and perfectly crispy, the chips are golden and delicious, and the staff are incredibly welcoming. A true gem Burnaby
Overpriced for what you re getting! Mid quality service & food which was upsetting. The setting was homelike which was nice. Also, the tartar sauce + coleslaw doesn t come with the meal which was odd. You can add for an extra charge. By that point I just wanted to go to white spot
Nice place and good fish and chips!
Came in for a fish burger - and for $10 the burger was huge! And super delicious.
Best fish & chips in lower mainland period. Excellent service, friendly staff, competitive prices. FRESH seafood, my go to place.
I come here all the time and I always have an amazing experience. As a Brit, this is the best fish and chips place Ive ever been to!
Waite staff are very friendly and professional. A great place to have lunch with your friends.
Because it is a restaurant, there is a waiting line. It also suits Korean tastes well. I recommend Haddock (cod fries) & chips (lots of french fries)!
Service was super slow.
This is for the Kensington location weve been going to this location for over 30 years but unfortunately our order was missing half of the food BUT they were extremely professional and apologetic and I understand that mistakes happen they did everything they could to make it right which I am very appreciative of and myself and my family will continue to visit for many years to come, Thank you
They have the worst service and waitress ever. Super disrespectful, I asked three times for water they didn t bring me and at end they brought me a coke and expected me to pay for that Very disrespectful.
Fast and delish and service was excellent and helpful !
Now that was a great seafood platter?
So we came to cockney kings fish and chips on Hastings and ordered 2 pc Haddock and fries and 1pc Haddock from their small plate option. We just left C- Lovers Fish and chips 2991 Lougheed Highway. They were unable to give me and my friend a 4 seater table . Although there were many tables open to accomodate us. Unfortunately this is the 2nd time theyve refused me a bigger table. There was an older waitress who told me that they get filled up fast and they cant give me a bigger table.. There were so many empties that I really felt giving us 20 minutes to eat wouldve not disrupted their business had they got a rush. Last time I tried going on for lunch at 2 pm and they pulled the same stunt on me and my daughter. I thought I would give them another try but never again. They just dont get CUSTOMER SERVICE Wow what a way to run a customer oriented business. Remember SERVICE is a big part of businesses. But obviously they lack proper skills or customer etiquette. At cockney kings we asked for a 4 seater and they were pretty well full but we got out table with a smile without any sarcasm or unprofessional behavior. Way to go C-lovers. You simply suck and need to take courses in customer service. Maybe learn from Cockney Kings so you dont lose customers but then again you dont need Loyal Customers with your sub standard business operations.
We come here once in a while for fish and chips. Very consistent, and we leave happy and full:) I also want to mention that the service has been great for us! From the bussers to the servers, that are quite attentive and friendly. Thank you Food : 4/5
Tasty and delelicous fish & Very nice customer services
The BEST fish and chips! Love this place whenever I crave fish n chips - its our go to place.
The place is very nice, the service is excellent and the food delicious, I hope to try the other dishes.
Expect excellent quality food here., specially deep fried oysters Oh my . Well done chef! Hardworking staff, specially Jessica running around like a thunder:) Food
My family of four each ordered something different. Everything was super fresh and delicious! It was exactly what we were looking for!
Best fish and chips in town! Haddock and wild salmon was amazing! Service is extremely nice! Love everything about this place!
One of the best place to get fish and chips. I highly recommend ordering the halibut tacos and the calamari. It is done very well, and that is coming from someone who is really picky about where to get fish and chips
I love this restaurant, very quiet and you enjoy your food with your companion. Authentic fish and chips. I like the Haddock dinner that cones with fries or onion rings or both with coleslaw salad yummy yummy. They have all you can eat on certain days during the week. The good thing is you can have your fish grilled.
vibe!! Parking: free parking Wheelchair accessibility: wheelchair accessible
If you go in and eat its great. Dont bother calling in your order ahead of time. Even if you tell them you will be there in 20 minutes to do your pickup they wont start your order until you get there and pay first. This happens every time I order. I mean every single time.
Good food and service I had Snapper n chips They always have Specials and its very affordable.
tasty fish
I went with a group of 10 or 12 and thought it was excellent value with especially tasty fish and chips
Dropped in for lunch and truly enjoyed the all you can eat fish and chips served Monday to Wednesday.
Went there two times in a week. Thought they deserved a second chance after the first terrible experience. They keep surprising me by even worse service and food quality. It was a Friday afternoon when we first time went there. The salmon and chips were greasy and soaky. We went there there following Wednesday evening. We waited for over half an hour to be seated. Took them ages to come take order and to serve the dishes. They ran out of utensils and didnt give us napkins. The draft beer wasnt from the tap and it tasted awful. This is supposed to be an sophisticated fish and chips restaurant. I feel sad about everything going straight downhill nowadays. Two unpleasant experiences were enough for me.
Friday dinner, 4 of us, we enjoyed the family Halibut offer, generous portions, great service, as good as it gets for fish and chips.
The bread served with the meal was cold, so I asked to heat it up. She said, oh, no problem.. Ill just microwave it. I go to a restaurant and cant always expect a freshly baked bread, but at least a warm, reheated one?
This is one of our favourite haunts for fish-n-chips even if it is a bit out of the way for us. The fish has a light batter that is still crunchy. The deep fried oysters have been consistently good last several times we went there. The staff has always been great - the busy kitchen staff would greet you if the host/hostess was elsewhere. The dining room staff has always been cheerful. This is in the northeast corner of Kensington Square. The plaza mall has plenty of parking - very convenient. Parking: Plenty of mall parking. Some street parking east and of the mall, on Grove Avenue.
very good price in All u can eat. Way better than eating McDonalds
I dont even like cooked fish and I love coming here. If you want to have fresh fish & chips, give them a try. They also have a store in New Westminster. Food
This place is absolutely amazing, incredible service an amazing food. I would highly recommend it.
Great. Best in town. Local friendly, nice fish and chips. Its a must go place and once you go, you understand why this place is long lasting. I appreciate the vibe and the kindness of servers.
I ate here a few years ago when in town on business and had to check them out again on a recent visit. The good was as great as I remembered! The prices were also reasonable. I also overheard the server recommending to another table a better way to order their meal to save money (i.e. family meal instead of individual servings).
Awesome place
Unbelievably busy as it was mother s day. All the employees were working full tilt to attend to everyone s needs as quickly as possible. We were seated & served in less than 30 mins. Had to be understanding & patient at times but it was worth it. The food was great. Been going there since it opened & will continue to in the future.
The food was great, service was friendly and pleasant. We will be back!
I was skeptical coming in here at first as my experience with fish & chips in UK wasnt impressive at all. However, I am glad that I actually tried here. Their food is super fresh n good quality. Even my mother who is very picky about foods liked it. Also very friendly, energetic staff in an open kitchen was enjoyable to watch as well. Thanks for the great service. Loved the food. Enjoyed it very much. Will definitely be back. Oh one last thing, loved thier package being plastic free.

Love this place! Best fish and chips in Vancouver area. Great restaurant Parking: Easy free parking and lots of spaces Food : 5/5 |
It had such a high rating that I had to check it out. Food I would have given you a 4.5 out of 5, but you were better than a 4, so 5 it is. It was the small plates that did it for me. It was the illusion of more food than there was. On the whole the food was excellent, a good choice of potatoes very good flavor. I had the Haddock one of my favorite good flavourful fish. Coleslaw was brilliant. That was a bang on taste. I enjoyed it. Had a pint to go with it. But I wasnt here for the beverages. Service great, she didnt come over and bug me all the time which I prefer, the once check up was fine. Did I enjoy it? Yes, so much so, I got another to go, too. I wanted to see how they reheated. The next day, heated them up and once again great. Maybe a bit of grease proof paper in there to stop the grease coming through the paper. Will I return you bet I will? It was worth the drive across the city, plus next time, I liked the look of the pies. Im not a mushy pea fan even though Im British. But curry sauce heck, yeah, sad to see there wasnt any. Thanks for a good meal.
I was there only for the all u can eat fish n chips sooo goood
Very nice staff, laid back old time feel. Food was good too! Would recommend!!
We went 6 of us, on a Thursday, there were tables of 4 and 6 with just 1 or 2 people. While we were waiting, 2 tables adjacent were empty, and they told us that they couldnt put them together and we had to wait another 30 minutes for a table of 6, or we had to split. It was 7 pm, and they closed at 8. My parents were visiting here and thats not a nice look for the location They lost customers!
I had cod and it was a great quality, will come back again
While the food and service were excellent, the only drawback was the absence of hand soap and paper towels in the bathroom. Despite this, I would still recommend this place. However, I also enjoy other options like Pajos or Go Fish, which are more conveniently located for me. Nevertheless, this little gem in Burnaby is worth considering.
Deserves more than 5 starts
Great place and seniors can split a plate of their fantastic fish and chips, the wife and I love to go there.
We had the AYCE fish and chips, it s just on certain days. Delicious with a light crispy batter not greasy. It s a good price too!
busy place with warm service and good hot food Vegetarian options: Veg options? It s a fish place where I m happy to get good chips and coleslaw since I don t have fish, good prices and great service. Food : 5/5 |
Great batter, and very nice staff
Best Fish and Chips restaurant I have ever been to. Very friendly people and tasty food. Has all you can eat on certain days.
Always good! Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs Food : 5/5 |
Good fish and chips
I went in because in the years gone bye it was and excellent place to get fish and chips.well to my amazement it was all you can eat and I sure pigged out.Five pieces latter I was to full but satisfied and remembered those good old memories.
Recommended place with delicious food and drinks
Average experience. Could turn the heat on inside. 3 orders the same 2 pc . One order had to wait on a single pc. For some reason. Had all the fish came out that hot and fresh, it would be worth another star.
Theres a reason why this placed is always packed. But not only that. I go there for takeout. And if just sit n wait for ur order for 15 mins during dinner. As the diner is packed. Youll see at least 10 people picking up their orders and more being backed. Been coming here for over 6 years. Prior to that. Drove to the one in New west from Surrey for 25 mins each time. The staff at both. The energy. Chemistry. Service and above all the food. Excellent experience each time after time. Year after year. Whoever the owners are. Built a great foundation and people who joined the team followed suit. It all starts at the top. Cockneys... atmosphere is so awesome.
Excellent food with excellent service. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone in the area.
Halibut with chips and caesar salad
The best fish and chips in Burnaby.
Such a friendly and bustling place I had the all you can eat and it was delicious and definitely worth the price. They give you free bread, bottomless sodas and even gave us free onion rings while we were waiting for a table. All in all I enjoyed the food and the great customer service
Absolutely enjoyed every bit of my time here. The haddock was great , and the calamari was awesome ! Its almost just like how I remember it growing up on the Atlantic coast!
Small hometown feel. Great food and the service is great.
Great family friendly place. We went for the AYCE fish and chips. Everything was delicious and servers were friendly. Very reasonable price.
So fresh!
I heard a lot of good things about the place and decided to try the AYCE special. Fries were okay, tartar sauce was standard, but the fish.... wasnt good. It was overly crispy with way too much batter, and some parts were borderline impossible to eat. It looked like they used a whole fish for the AYCE instead of a fillet, which didnt work well for this dish. Staff were polite and vibe was nice but probably wouldnt go back.
Best fish and chips in the city. Dont forget the tartar sauce!
, ring, coleslaw & Red snapper , ring , coleslaw & Food
Best fish and chips!
We love how you can choose how you want your fish cooked. Pan fried, half batter, etc. The fish always tastes so fresh. Get the onion rings - delicious!! Staff are always so friendly.
Decent but not amazing. Kind of a fast food/American style place. I would love a better option for the grilled fish or a better serving size for the price. The service is nice.
The tacos are the best here!
the safe there treat you like friends.
all u can eat fish was old & hard + coating on the fish was thick like over cooked bread. What happened here, been coming here 4 over 30yrs. Havent been bak for over 8yrs 2 eat this.
Service is the best. It tastes better Kid-friendliness: There is a drowning paper Food : 5/5 |
Back in January I had the wrong order and was fully refunded by Uber eats,I called the restaurant then and wasnt impressed with customer service,today I went back myself for take out and explained to the manager Shannon what had happened and wasnt expecting anything since I got refunded,she said thank you for your feed back and extremely polite. Took my order and when I opened it, Wawooo what a surprise, Shannon had doubled my fish order and was delicious. Spoke to Peter and thanked him , Shannon and the team @Cocknykings Kensington for the wonderful and service.
Best fish and chips
The best fish and chips in Greater Vancouver. Good portion, reasonable price, and super delicious. High quality, fresh ingredients, and unique fries quality with nice and professional take out packing. This place is perfectly managed by generous staff. The ambiance was charming, and the service was top-notch. A true gem for any fish and chips enthusiast!
Place has great food and friendly staff
Beautifully lightly fried fish fillets. The chowder hits the spot too!
Best fries
Freshly made fish and chips!
Good: 1 out of 5 Service: 5 out of 5 Price: 3 out of 5 when for all you can eat on Monday and the service was excellent but the food was not. The fish seemed to be cut in half as it was very thin and had way too much batter. This is their way of filling you up. It should be caller batter n fish.. all you can eat batter
Never been here before which baffles me! If you haven t, like me before, try it! It s very good! Service is also amazing! And if you eat a lot, like me, try the all you can eat days! You won t regret it! Highly recommended!!!
Great fish n chips!! Love their crispy batter and their onion rings are amazing.
Fish was fresh and delicious. Service was on point as well.
Ive been coming here since I was a kid. It never disappoints.
Great tasting fish and chips, but far too many service errors make it difficult to recommend this eatery. Last few times weve been to this family favorite, the food has been great, and the service ..passable. Prices are higher of course, but not more then weve come to expect around town. Edit: last trip, again three errors on one simple order.
Tried and true f&c. best around. I could honestly just eat their fries all damn day
Still the best for me for fish and chips always enjoy going here.
Has been here since before I was born. Has never disappointed in terms of food quality. I would highly recommend. They also have ayce , but now is mon tue wed only.
Great Food and Service
Went for ayce fish and chips and although not the best quality, for the price the fish was very enjoyable and huge! Fries were SO good. Server was also very nice, can t wait to go back and try the calamari. Parking: Parking lot shared by many businesses can be crowded.
Very good service and food for a very good price
Great food, great service.
Every time that I have gone there, the service has been fantastic. Even when it is busy, they still go by to check on you. Thank you! The battered fish is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The fries are ok. Prices are reasonable.
Killer all you can eat fish and chips!!!
Great service and food!
Price is good and service is better than many restaurant
Such great food. 1st time trying and everything was perfect. Jessica, our server was super lovely as well. Well done
Hands down the best fish and chips for take out. We love the fish selection (cod, halibut AND salmon) options for batter, no batter and especially the option for extra crispy chips. Great online ordering from the website, our orders are always ready when we get there. Food wrapped in paper old style which makes it easy to warm up the extra crispy chips in the oven. Recommend you stick to the fish and chips, our experiences with the fish burger were not the same - messy to eat, bun was chewy.
Wow.... every time we go to this Cockney Kings restaurant, we are reminded why we travel 30 minutes to eat here. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the food. The food is perfectly cooked. We both had Halibut and chips meal. The price is reasonable. Always recommended Wheelchair accessibility: The doorways are wide enough for wheelchair accessibility
Had the all you can eat option. Portion was generous, and quality was decent. The service was good, and the waiters were attentive.
Good as it always is, fries piping hot, fish fried to perfection and the oysters melted in the mouth. Cheers you guys for being so consistent every visit. Kim
Fresh out of the fryer... you cant beat it. Its done perfectly. Value is good. Menu is rather extensive. People greet you with a smile and make you feel happy to support them. My favorite place to take my kids on a day off from school. Parking: Its part of a strip mall Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor access
Fish n Chips.. definitely one of the best.. The spicy chicken burger with onion ring is always great. Staff is friendly and Jennette is a great waitress, always happy and chatty ..
