Irene's Fish N Chips - Kimberley

If I could give a rating of 0, I would. This place is terrible. If you're considering dining on Indian cuisine in Surrey, BC, I strongly advise you to steer clear of this establishment.

Let's start from the beginning - my family and I visited this restaurant for lunch on a Saturday afternoon.

I have visited many restaurants in Vancouver and Surrey, including Vijs and Raja, but I have to say that these guys are the best for non-vegetarian options. It's unfortunate that I have to say this, but even I agree that their food is top-notch.

We took a wrong turn on the way home (yay Mom never has to drive again tired!). Found this awesome little fish & chip place and the whole family was happy. Not fancy but super clean, busy with lots of locals (always a great sign of good food) and super friendly staff - especially Big John as a overheard a local little girl call him. Irene herself was cooking away and we loved the halibut & chips. Kids had the chicken items and nothing left on their plates either:). Quite a variety of ice cream to choose from so we all had dessert too! Will make it a must now, even if I'm not driving! Thanks Big John & Irene.

Saw this place while driving by and thought we should stop in. Staff was very friendly and had a great conversation with the owner. The fish and chips were excellent - nice to get a true piece of fish instead of just filler. The three of us had different entrees - the halibut was amazing - a little expensive, but we know halibut is not a cheap fish to purchase. Still worth it!! The cod and pollock were also very good. Be sure to have a little vinegar with the fries. It was a great treat to stop at this little venue. Much nicer that the typical "fast food" stops. Be sure to try the lemonade as well. We will be back!!
