150 Terminal Ave N, Nanaimo, BC V9S 4J3, Canada
BC Family Owned and Operated. Fastfood style takeout Restaurant with Drive thru. 12 seatings available for quick dine in style without washroom access. We serve Freshly breaded Chicken, Freshly battered Halibut, Cod & haddock fish served with fresh hand cut Chips.
My friends pitched me so much about this place, and backed up by the disappointment of it being closed the last time I came, I had strong urge to try their food even more! Drive all the way from Langford (in Victoria) to Nanaimo to have Chick to Sea Express. I am not much of a sea food person (yet!) so I went with their Crispy Chicken Sandwich meal. The sandwich, essentially a burger was very filling, and taste wise it was 6/10. Fries were crispy and thick cut. The size of the burger was quite big! All the other customers ordered sea-food! I believe it’s 95% sea food place and 5% chicken. The seating arrangement is small, pretty decent for to accommodate 15 people at once. Also, there is ample of parking, which is nice and convenient. Overall, the experience was good. Will I be visiting again? Yes, only if I become a sea food person!
Went for the value lunch-$10.00 boxes-hubby got fish,I got chicken strips-what a treat!!Delicious,friendly staff,and great treat day lunch.
This place is awesome! Had the 1pc halibut and chips special for $10 and it filled me right up. Food was hot, not too greasy, service was fast. I ordered online for pickup and waited about 1min for my food. Guy behind the counter was quick and nice. Plenty of free parking as well. Will 100% be eating here more, cheaper than a Big Mac meal but got way more and so much fresher!
We decided to try the one piece Halibut and fries for $10 per order ( Mom was with me so we got two orders ) . Wasn't expecting much as the price was almost too good to be true . Boy was I wrong , the halibut was cooked perfectly , nice and flakey but not over cooked. The batter was light and crunchy . The fries were great as well . Yes they charged $2 for the small tarter sauce , but it was enough for both of us and was tasty. The nice employee told me it would be 12 mins or so , but that I could wait in my truck in the parking lot and she would bring it out to us ! What great customer service . Overall a fantastic experience , I will definitely be back 🙂.
I had the Mexican wrap and fries tonight and they were both amazing! The wrap was hot and spicy, and the fries were so good I didn't even need ketchup. I can't say enough good about the food here. I'll definitely be back again!
This flavor shack is probably highly underestimated for their ability to pump out quality food at more than fair prices. Their battered fish was light and airy. The crisp sound wasn’t heavy while still maintaining the crunch factor. Perfectly seasoned that was beautifully paired with the chips. I ordered the packaged tartar sauce but next time I will be ordering their house home made tartar sauce. Service was very friendly and seemed happy about his/her returning clients. A secret gem of Nanaimo that everyone needs to measure all other fish and chips place against
Lots going on here. The Fish and Chips are 10/10 and very reasonable price. The food - Great chips (fries), crispy, hot and fresh. Beats the usual crispy fish soggy fries combo that is so common elsewhere. Fantastic fish, crispy not greasy. Flaky fish that was hot and not overdone. Coleslaw - Typical bagged mix with dressing. A bit sweet but likely enjoyed by the majority. Tartar Sauce - Packaged food service portions. Not good. I’m an east coast tartar sauce snob but the quality of the fish minimized the tartar enough that it doesn’t matter. Service - Kind and friendly, 10/10. Atmosphere - Odd smell when entering. Kind of urineish. Not smoky and greasy smelling so can’t complain too much. Floors were very sticky. Tables clean, clutter visible behind the counter, loud music, homeless people camping at building in front and a drug deal gone down while I ate. Can’t blame the restaurant for that. Tough area. Overall the food is worth the visit if you’re not too hung up on tartar and coleslaw. The main event fish and chips are phenomenal.
I’m a Fish & Chips addict. It’s hard to find excellent fish & chips in Nanaimo but “Chick to Sea Express” is doing a 5-star product and service at lower-than-normal prices. The premises is very clean with lots of seating, the person who took my order was lovely, the preparation for my order was surprisingly quick for the work involved. The fish serving size is large, the batter is light and crispy, the tartar sauce is awesome, there’s a huge amount of home cut fries, it comes in a sealed package and it’s inexpensive. The images here are of the location and my takeout order unpacked at home. Anybody who loves great tasting fish & chips I recommend you try out “Chick to Sea Express” you won’t be disappointed and you will be impressed with the amount you get for the low price that you paid.
The absolute best fish & chips in town! The owners are also the nicest people. Highly recommend!
This place is absolutely amazing. Very friendly staff and the halibut is delicious! At lunch time the also have 10$ boxes. I keep meaning to try the chicken but I always end up getting fish. Also the gravy is super good and the homemade tartar sauce is so tasty. I will support the heck out of these guys. They are trying to keep good prices and great portions and wicked good food. I hope more people stop in and try this hidden gem. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE!!!!!!
Best chicken ever and lovely people! Definitely would order so many times in the future! Highly recommend!
Very good food, friendly staff!!!
Wicked seafood restaurant and its drive thru
They are open Mon -- Fri 4:15 pm to 9 pm. Weekend hours remain the same. This is in effect until January 11th
Food is always amazing. Service is amazing. Very affordable.
Probably the only fish and chips place Ive been to that actually gives you a good portion for ur buck. Really really tasty and fresh seafood. Good price to
Gonna tell you rn if you want great food thatll make you go back, this place has you covered, not to mention how nice the staff are here. I give this place five stars
OMG wings. Amazing hot and regular not just sauce!!! And amazing people to help me order!!! Thank you thank
First time here, got cod, scallops and panko shrimp, chicken sandwich. Food was absolutely perfect. Prices are hard to beat on top of the quality
Lovely hole in the wall place yum!!!
Chicken sandwich is unbelievable
Awesome Food.
Best fish & chips in town. Never greasy, excellent fries.
Doesnt look like its going to be the best fish and chips in nanaimo but it was by far. The chowder was amazing
Awesome
Very nice and very approachable owner and staff
Excellent food great service
Great food great service great owners. Highly recommend the fish and chips.
Great food for Togo. Fast and tasty
One of the best places in Nanaimo. The service was super friendly and personable and theyre extremely extremely generous with their portions. Great place to take people from out of town or for family dinner night, one dish is enough for two eaters.
Great service and the best fish & chips Ive ever had!
We got the seafood platter, it was very greasy as the fat leaked through the takeout container and damaged our clothes.
We saw this place on the way to Horseshoe Bay in Nanaimo. Small building, drive through. We tried it, but sat inside the very small dining area, with 3 tables and a counter with stools. I gotta tell you, we were not in the least disappointed. We both had fish and chips. Chips in my opinion were hand cut, the fish was light in the batter and were very good! We both could not eat all our fries. I would for sure go again.
Eat here!!! If you have a yearning for fish and chips, or chicken and mushy peas this is your destination! Family owned and operated. Fantastic food! We are never hungry after. Actually, we seldom finish! Check it out. And try the house tartar sauce! To die for.
Some of the best fish and chips there is. Very good service from people that try hard to please.
Friendly, speedy, Fresh and decently priced!
Best fish and chips Ive had in town, really delicious! The homemade tartar sauce is worth the extra expense. Take it from someone whos had his fair share of fish and chips in England, this is like a taste of home. I hear they do chicken as well but Im too busy eating all the halibut.
I came to visit Nanaimo and I was craving some fish and chips! After some google searches I came across Chick to Sea Express and decided to give it a try. I was very happy with the service and the food was amazing! The fish was crispy but also flakey and the homemade tartar sauce is a must get! We asked for some lemons and they were happy to provide some as well. Overall amazing experience and would definitely recommend!
Great food! Always throws in an extra chicken strip or a half piece of fish with your food. Haven t had a bad experience here yet. A shame it s in the location it is, should be better off in harewood or the north end.
Fish and chips are very good, best quality. Great portion with quick and friendly service. The room is very small and not inviting. Good location for taking the food away.
The worst customer service.
Good people and really good food, definitely coming back next time were in town!
Pretty good fish and chips. Much better than the cod squad. Only thing I would say was they were a bit stingy on fries. I would eat here again.
Great food fast service and always fresh
yummy crispy chicken wrap (not too dry and not chewy, fish was nice and crispy, great service
Great place no real seating but one of Nanaimo s best
Sooooo good. Super friendly customer service.
Best fish & chips with a delightful batter & great fries. Definitely will go back.
Can t tell you about the food as we were told at 8:10pm we can t sit in the dining room as they closed it at 8:30pm 30 min before closing. So basically told us we have to take out even though cleaning our table maybe would have taken 2-3min. Never met a restaurant that was allergic to a family of 5 paying customers. Owner may want to have a word with their staff turning away revenue. Visited july1024
The food and service is AMAZING I have never been disappointed Food
My only go to fish and chip spot! Delicious, & great service! Food
The fish is delicious in a light, non-greasy batter. The French fries are also fresh and delicious!
Have eaten many times in the past few weeks, yum!!!
After hearing many great reviews about this place we got some halibut fish and chips to go. While my first piece was a little tough on the thin parts it still tasted ok however my second piece tasted horrible, not only could I not eat that piece but it ruined the entire meal. Of all the times Ive eaten halibut fish and chips Ive never had it fishy. Until today I didnt even know it was possible with halibut. Im sure the reviews on this place are true and that we had the unlucky one off order, but even if that is the case it still shouldnt have tasted like they got it out of the chum bucket.
Great food great portions. Freshly cooked. Friendly staff.
My partner said this was his first time since moving to Canada to have proper fish and chips with curry gravy! Very nostalgic for him. Thank you...we will be back.
Nice gem in Nanaimo!! Will be back for sure, Thanks again for the shrimp!!
Amazing chicken here! I got a wrap and they made it fresh on the spot. It was a pretty large size for the price, so Im thrilled. Fresh ingredients and super tasty chicken, I recommend the Mexican wrap!
Had very awesome fish and chips made fresh and very generous portions. I enjoy their home-made tartar also.
Best best place on island for fish and chips
Excellent cod and chips, generous portions
Great meal, good portion, nice staff. Will be back!
Food was delicious!!! Hot, fresh, just the ideal fish and chips! Staff was super friendly! Strongly recommend. Kid-friendliness: Super kind staff!
Chick to Sea Express takes the crown as the best seafood joint in BC. The staffs exceptional behavior and top-notch food make it a standout. The restaurants awesome takeout-friendly approach caters to those craving a seafood feast at home. While primarily a takeout spot, it offers a few seating options for those who prefer to dine in. The combination of outstanding service, delectable dishes, and a welcoming environment with limited seating makes them a must-visit for seafood aficionados in BC, whether youre grabbing takeout or opting for a cozy meal on site!
Great chicken strips and shrimp! They gave us some extra strips too!
We did take away. The food was hot, fresh and delicious. The Halibut was moist and the portions were large. Lots of fries and the tarter sauce was excellent. Everything was obviously cooked as we waited. We will be ordering from there again.
I was craving some fried chicken so I gave this place a shot. The interior is nice and clean, which I was worried about given that the neighbourhood around there is getting worse by the day. I ordered a four piece chicken meal, which was just chicken, fries, and a drink. Was expecting coleslaw or a bun or something for the price, but whatever. With a side of gravy it came to 18$. The chicken wasnt greasy, but it also wasnt anything special in terms of flavour. Id certainly put it ahead of something like 7-11 chicken, but they really need some seasonings in there other than salt. The fries were delicious at least, nice and crunchy, and the gravy was properly thick with tons of flavour. I doubt Ill do the chicken again, but Ill definitely be coming back for those fries. 3.5/5 Stars. Could do worse for lunch, but for the price I expected a bit better chicken. Maybe Ill give their seafood a go next time.
Owners are very friendly and the food is amazing!
We have only ordered take out so far but the food is amazing. The fish and chips always arrive hot with crispy coating and fries that arent soggy. Weve had the halibut and the cod and love them both. The fish is tender and moist and the portion size is generous. Everyone here gets excited when its a fish and chips night.
I order from here everyone couple months. Great value. Team are always polite. Ive had cod and chicken. Everything tasted good, large serving and was nice and hot. Parking: Parking is not a problem. Looks to have about 50 parking spots. Ive never seen more than a couple cars here at once.
Great food and amazing service. Good portions and prices
The deep fried fish use to be amazing now it s saggy & rotten.
We often order take out from this place, and the food is always delicious. Theyre consistent, which keeps us coming back. The chicken strip combo is a tried and true favorite of ours. The portions are generous, so you get more for your money. Definitely worth the buy!
Really great food and at a good price point, quality of the food is great. Do check out their limited time offers at all times, can t beat those deals.
Great food, great friendly service! Awesome fish, fries and chicken! Thanks guys, we will be back soon:P
Great local restaurant for fish and chicken.
Someone on another website recommended their onion rings to me [Im an onion ring fiend!] and I tried them today. Arrived hot and VERY crispy, good flavor. I enjoyed the dip that came on the side, looks to be some kind of flavored mayo? Will definitely be back to explore the menu more in the future.
The best fish and chips Ive had in a very long time. Large portions and the nicest batter on the Halibut.
Very nice crispy chicken wrap, I will be back
Thought id give it a try after seeing some good reviews and im glad i did because it was delicious! *EDIT* After being back a couple times from my original experience, there was a noticeable decline in the food, I usually get the same thing (cripsy chicken sandwich) and both times it really just wasn t that great, which was quite disappointing as the first time I tried this place it was great. Changing my original review from a 5/5 to a 3/5
Always delicious and the staff is always so friendly and smiley
Great experience from quick service to delicious fish and chips. I will be back!
This is our go to for the best chicken sandwich the best fries and fantastic fish and chips. Bonus is the mushy peas highly recommend.
My mom and I ordered from there last night and tasted good but the all night venture of getting sick was not worth the taste. Needless to say will not be ordering there again.
Went on a Tuesday for supper. Had their all u can eat special. Comes with 4 pieces of cod, fries(all u can eat.) and coleslaw. Great deal, all for under 25.00 dollars. Great value, great taste, and huge pieces of Cod, lightly battered which is the way I like my fish. Definitely coming back, and excited to try their chicken.
This is a takeout drive thru business in the same location where KFC used to be. It must be very difficult to run a business here or even get staff to run it, surrounded by a dozen boarded up skeletons of neighboring businesses that collapsed due to crime. But I commend this place, and the lady who served us at the drive thru this week. She was the ONLY person working, and apologized profusely for the wait. We are not in a hurry when we come here, so a 10 minute wait at the drive thru window doesnt concern us. She is doing everything, and doing it well, despite the sign on the window which states desperately seeking staff. The food here is actually really good, and reasonably priced. This is not the first time weve stopped, and of all the places which offer comparable seafood, its the one we will miss the most if it shutters. If you can justify the stop to support this business, it wont be wasted time. The cod and chips have been surprisingly reasonable and delicious, and if you miss the breaded jumbo prawns, youll never know how great these are. We get these EVERY time--they would be worth the stop alone. Havent tried anything else on the menu, because when you find something that works, its really hard to stray from it.
Food is on the more expensive side for fish and chips but definitely worth it. Ive had almost all of the fish and chip places in Nanaimo and this is my favorite
4 pc chicken with fries and gravy. Decent price, Gravy was so delicious.
Good quality food and good portion sizes for the price.
Food was cooked perfect
This place has it its really good already and it has potential to becoming legendary. Their fried chicken is good, crispy, tasty. The fish and chips is top notch. The fried oysters where delicious, and the chowder was great too. If only they could get a signature fruit drink, that would catapult them. They took care of me yesterday night, even late take out and they delivered the goods. Will def be back!
The staff were very helpful and friendly. Especially Nav! Thank you
Good value. Enjoyed the chicken wrap. Tried the scallops and shrimps, certainly worth the price if you want an alternative to big fast food.
The food was great and that staff was friendly. They are apparently having trouble getting enough staff so you might have to wait a bit if you dont order ahead, but its worth the short wait.
Very friendly staff. Awesome fish and chips!
Very friendly staff. Very clean environment. Great food. Vegetarian options: Plant based strips available Food : 5/5 |
Food was very fresh, and portion sizes were above average! The restaurant was small, but the food was worth the wait!
Great fish and chips and chicken burgers!!
Hidden gem of a place. This chicken was delicious and the fish and chips were pretty solid too. Totally would recommend.
Fish was well cooked, batter light and crispy. Fries were excellent too. Generous portions. Will definitely be back
Food was good, but there is no AC in there. Get food to go.
Best fish
Great place for a fish sanatorium
Awesome place to grab a bite poutine is pretty good portions are nice large but not too much free sky service
Yum! Good portions and friendly service.
Seafood platter was delicious and well priced.
One of the most underrated fried chicken places in our opinion. We always prefer Chick to Sea over other mainstream options like KFC or Popeyes. Atmosphere isnt great but we always get takeout and most of the staff are friendly. Weve only tried the chicken options and fries, but theyve been great every time!
The service was above and beyond. Ordered a 4 piece cod and chips for such a good price. They even threw in an extra piece of cod. Absolutely delicious food and would suggest this place to anybody.
We just moved here from Alberta and we are absolutely extatic to have so quickly pinned down a new favorite place! Was so good & great pricing compared to previous experiences ( we order take out alot )! Its kind of, our thing lol we went 2 days in a row . First trying a family chicken meal and next the halibut. And chicken strips will recommend and will likely visit often
I discover this place with my husband yesterday and I just have 1 thing talk about this place it s really amazing, I ate fish and chips and omg was really crunchy and didn t had too much flour was more fish and the coleslaw was my favorite. It s a small place for eat and have drive-thru. The price was too good for the quantity and quality
Ordered from here on skip lastnight - ended up going in person tonight. INCREDIBLE chicken at a very reasonable price. Owners/staff are very kind and accommodating. We own a local food business in town as well and understand the struggles of covid & the current crime issues in nanaimo. Please keep supporting this wonderful kind family - Randy & Layla
The absolute best fish and chips on the island. Try the curry gravy, its amazing! *update - Super consistent, have been quite a few times and never a bad experience
Im not a big eater, but this fish turns me into a gluttonous bear getting drunk on fermented apples. Knowingly eating myself into an uncomfortable bloated stupor while realizing its absolutely worth it, even necessary.
A great place for hot, tasty chicken and fish. Their fries and strips are to kill for. Food : 5/5
Great chicken place, batter is not thick, and it is very crunchie. Lots of food for the money, very good service, and always a smile
Halibut and chips were so Delicious!!Light batter and generous portions!!! I will definitely be back Parking: Drive thru available
Chicken burger is superior to most. Freshly made and nice French fries. Friendly service. A place you will revisit after your first order.
Shame on you for selling Costco chicken strips at double the price.
I got chick to sea express for lunch today, and my chicken wrap was completely raw
So glad we stopped by tonight! Had the Fish sandwich with fries (+ delicious curry gravy). The Fish tasted fresh and was seasoned and fried to perfection. Will definitely be back!
Great service n meals are so delicious
This is hard. Its kinda like that poem about the girl with the curl. When she was good, she was very, very good. When she was bad, she was horrid. Went twice & was THRILLED with the spicy chicken & curry gravy. The third time, we were not asked which chicken we wanted, we automatically got regular and it was awful! We also ordered curry gravy & got regular which was also horrible. And the fries were so so.
Awesome chicken and service is great! Thanks guys!
Great fish n chips, and customer service, very friendly
So amazing. Found this place on New Years because they were open on Skip the Dishes when most other places were closed. What a great find! Their fish burger and fries are so yummy we ate there 4 times in one week!
Was happy to see this place spring up to replace Baby Salsa Express, tried it once and never went back. I heard a few good things about this new place and decided to give them a go despite my negative feelings for the old establishment. I was very impressed. Prices are fair for Nanimo standards and they still had some budget choices too. I bought the Chicken sandwich combo for $10.50 after tax. The fries are 6 stars out of 5 and some of the best I have gotten in Nanaimo. The fries remind me of 5-Guys and they give you a bunch, good bang for the buck. The chicken sandwich was decent too. I will be back to try other items and will recommend this place to my friends. I hope the quality and value stays as Nanaimo could use another great restaurant. Dont let my photo fool you there were still half as many fries in the bag as was shown here, I grazed a few on the way home too.
The staff are always friendly, there is rarely a big line up, and they have my fave fish & chips in Nanaimo.
Ordered food from them tonight off SkipTheDishes, it was so delicious.Their fried chicken and fish burger was really good! Will definitely order from them again.
Great chicken, great fish, great value
The apple pies are better than mcdonalds! so goood
I have lived across Canada and have eaten alot of fried chicken. This is by far the best chicken I have ever eaten. And the poutine is incredible!
Fantastic meal! It was well cooked, amazing taste and a great deal! Job well done!
I just love their fish. Chicken is so crispy. Love the Curry gravy on their twice cooked fries
The chicken is fantastic! Great little drive through spot, decent prices. I need to try out their fish!
Fried chicken dangerously close to work.
Good food. Premises were clean. Service was very quick and friendly.
This place makes the best Fish & Chips I have had in years! The Cod is Amazing! They make home-made tarter sauce that tastes so good Icould eat it all by itself. The staff are great, super hard working and very friendly! Oh! and they dont over use their grease, it doesnt ever have that burnt oil taste. And that makes all the difference. Huge, huge selection of items as well. YOU GOTTA TRY THIS PLACE if you like Fish & Chips
If you want great food and great service order from here . We ordered from Doordash and they totally dropped the ball saying while at the restaurant there app broke and could not deliver . Still was able to provide my phone # to the restaurant owner however ? The owner then called me and jumped into his truck and personally delivered our order . They will always have our business .
Needed a quick meal on the airport. We decided to give it a try and we were so happy we did. Delicious and crispy fish and fried oysters, a huge pile of chips and the best homemade tartar sauce!! And the best part was the super friendly service. Always happy to support a family business. Can t wait until we are back.
Excellent fried chicken at reasonable prices
First time trying out the chicken. My 8 piece chicken family combo contained 4 drum sticks and no chicken breasts. Never had that happen before. Not impressed.
First time tried the chicken wings. It was very nice crispy n flavoured. The owner was very friendly Definitely going back..
Chick to sea is a Fantabulous place to get your fish and you chicken 2Go... Try it, youll be saying Fantabulous too!!!
Now I have to confess I was surprised with todays visit to Chick to Sea. With nothing to gauge my visit by; I was delighted with the cod and chips I had for lunch. The fish appeared fresh and the chips were to die for. My wife had three sides, Macaroni, Potato and Coleslaw. All were superb and while I declare she makes the best Potato Salad in the world, she felt Chick to Seas was the best she had ever had. In a day when it is hard to eat out for less than a small fortune, Chick to Sea is a great alternative.
I was very sad when the White Spot in downtown Nanaimo closed because I always thought they had the best fish & chips. But then Chick to Sea opened pretty much in the same location and I found my new #1 choice for Fish & Chips.
Well, we had high hopes. Fish was ok, way too oily as if the oil wasnt hot enough when the fish was fried, though the fish had good flavor and we liked the fries. The reason for the 2 stars, rather than 3, was when we went to pay we were told the prices had increased but the sign hadnt been updated yet. However heres the problem: the prices on the sign and website were identical, and there was no note on the window that prices had increased. Hmmmm. Given these challenging times, I would understand if there had been a note on the window and the website was current. But since they werent we then questioned if we were maybe scammed?
I am quite confused with the googles 4.6 ranking of this fast food!? The chicken and the fish we ordered were not fresh!! and the chips tasted like wood! Definitely do not recommend this place!!
Your tartar sauce is the best on earth and your fish can t be beat! Always a treat :)
Catered to my fiances major fish allergy and made sure to cook his chicken in oil that did not have contact with any fish products... Dietary restrictions: Fish allergy was catered to very well
Was a stop in a poker run. Didn t even know they where there until that day. Definitely go back and try them out.
Large portions, great value for your $$ My boyfriend and I tried their chicken wrap, poutine and cod. The food was all amazing, fish was cooked to perfection. Staff was super friendly and helpful.
Go to place. I love the staff. The guy who works there is very kind and nice to talk to. Woman(S) who work there seem to be putting in effort. Definitely recommend their fried chicken 100%
Love the fish and chips. Everything was good.
Service was great, portions were VERY generous and chicken, panko shrimp and prawns were delicious. Fries, shrimp sauces, gravy and tartar sauce were all yummy. Reviews for this place were either awesome or really awful...glad my experience was awesome!
Their chicken wraps are awesome, ask for lettuce on the side or no lettuce. Chicken is fresh and hot. By the time you eat your wraps the lettuce is limpy. Great place to eat, their own delivery service is quick. Everything on the menu is recommended.
Delicious! Very moist and flaky fish, with a light crispy batter. Been craving Fish and Chips for months, and am glad I chose here to quench my craving. Seems pricey, but the portions are big.
The chicken and fish are both great. Not greasy and very flavourful Highly recommended. They have a drive thru; staff are friendly and accommodate changes to the menu.
Hands down best place to get chicken, portions are great and the people are always super nice! Will continue to be back
Picked up a Doordash order for a customer. The drink was in a tall cup. The only place in Nanaimo that asked to pay one dollar, if we need a cup holder/tray to take the order. We told him that this was for a customer and he tells us to keep it in our car cup holder. I guess he doesnt know that we are supposed to keep customers food and drinks in a delivery bag. Disappointing.
Thank you!!! About time I have had some good Chicken!! Nanaimos Best
Absolutely the best chicken place in town, large pieces of chicken, always hot, always crispy, always juicy. At a very good affordable price. Highly recommended
Good local fish and chips! Notice, their menu has changed from what they have posted on their Google maps page. Check their online order portal for the updated one. Fish was good, once we got home it got soggy from sitting it the box but still good flavour. And the coleslaw was delicious!
I have tried this place 3 or 4 times now. You have to wait a few minutes in the drive through, which is worth it because they consistently serve you freshly cooked chicken and fries Parking: Lots of parking.
Basically my go to place for chicken in Nanaimo. The food is very good for the price and they often throw in a few extra pieces. When you go through the drive thru you need to wait a few minutes which is a positive because it means they are cooking to order so you aren t getting old food.
Not super fresh, would go elsewhere. Not Lee s either!
This place if my favorite whenever Im craving for fried chicken. Not only that, they have seafood too. Their panko shrimp is a must try for everyone. Always love their service. Staff members very friendly and GENEROUS.
Hot, delicious, and extremely generous with their portions The curry gravy is
Seems to be one of the only places in Nanaimo that have curry gravy
Ordered from DoorDash and I m so impressed. The temperature of the food was so hot it felt like I was in the restaurant. I m picky with chicken and I really enjoyed your tenders, I also noticed you guys gave me extras!! Fries were exceptional as well. Will definitely be ordering again.
Chicken was juicey not greasy. Nice batter that was crispy
The food here was amazing cooked perfectly and the skin to the chicken was so crispy. Everything tasted fresh and was still hot when we got it. We ordered through skip the dishes. One of the best chicken places in town I would say, I highly recommend them.
The pieces of chicken are gigantic. However the batter is very lack luster. There is no seasoning so really nothing that makes this unique to them. Its just plain fried chicken. I gave them a shot but dont think I will be going back. I also gave a 3 star just for the portion size otherwise it would have been 2.
Highly recommend the Curry Gravy with your fries. Been here a couple times now and Ive been impressed both times. 3 piece chicken meal and fish wrap so far......everything tastes fresh, has good seasoning and a good value for what you pay. Not to mention that the people running it are super nice and accommodating. Makes it easy to want to support them. Ill be back for sure!
food was fresh and staff were extremely kind!
Sorry no photo I ate 30 wings at a buck a piece in a matter of seconds.....anyone care to race?
Great service and excellent food! I have been back several times and they are consistently good.
Great food and service
Great fresh fish. It was a very tasty meal. Wonderful staff! Great night
Somewhat disappointed with the fish & chips. Bland & greasy. The oysters were oily and bitter. One more chance to try the chicken, which seems to come higher recommended.
Chicken slaps and the gravy is next level too, favourite place to eat sober or drunk. New contender for best chicken in Nanaimo fo sho
Finally! We tried their menu. A short walk from Maffeo Sutton Park to Chick to Sea Express. When we arrived we asked if we could dine in. And yes we can. You only need to show you vaccine passport. They have two separate tables which can seat four. They also, have bar height tables and stools which can seat six. Food were excellent Everything we ordered were all delicious. There is wait times for your food but it is all worth it. Everything is served hot. From my point of view the total amount we pay for our order was a little bit expensive but again it is all worth it. Yum Excellent customer service. Staff were so polite and approachable. Hoping to order again soon.
Good Food and Good Service
The best fish and chips it town! And talk about value, where else will you get a big chunk of freshly battered fish, hand cut fries that arent greasy (must be baked!), homemade gravy (try the curry gravy), incredible poutine, and the best fish chowder anywhere! You can buy wings for $1 each, no minimum, spiced the way you like it. Open until ten at night - this place rocks!
Not going to lie went here thinking this place still sold tacos. I decided to get some chicken since I was there. Boy am I glad I did, this was absolutely some of the best chicken Ive ever had, fries were delicious as well. Plus the chicken pieces were huge, juicy and not greasy. Will definitely go again
Good food
Very nice,clean and elegant location. Food was really delicious
So good the food here is. It has been busy since it opened with customers. Skip the dishes.. Wifi... One stop here will keep u coming back for more. Fast.. nice... Busy.. great food.. great prices too
They are pretty great, and the staff are very friendly
has to be the best fish burger i have ever had!
A three piece, 2 legs, one thigh combo that came with a small fries, small gravy and a small pop. Upgraded 1 leg to a chicken breast for 1.25 extra. First impression was that the chicken was larger sized than anywhere else. Their chicken was some of the most succulent chicken I have had. I would prefer a more flavourful chicken.. My one piece of spicey chicken tasted to me, like it was extra spice put on. The fries were really tasty. I did not like the regular gravy at all and besides salt there was next to no flavour to it in my opinion. I only ate a little bit of it. I keep hearing about their curry gravy which I would like to try. I will be going back again and definitely want to try their fish and chips.
