It's getting harder and harder to find fish n chips places in the Bay Area. By chance we just checked and found this place. I was pleasantly surprised. It's exactly as you would expect. The fish is good and fresh. Only thing is their location is very old and not too appealing for dine in. But it's a mom and pop place so not unexpected. As take out it's a great place. read more

As mentioned by another reviewer, it's hard to find a strictly "Fish & Chips" in the Tri-City area. Some friends recommended this place, warning us not to expect "ambiance" but fairly decent Fish & Chips. Tried in once and Yes!! We LOVE their FISH & CHIPS!! The fish is VERY flavorful (I asked and was told they serve Alaskan pollack). Generous chunks of fish and fries taste very fresh and are served piping hot. THIS keeps us coming back at least once a week. FAR from fancy; very basic. Be prepared to wipe off the plastic containers that hold the Ketchup and vinegar. BIG PLUS:: Staff/owners(?) are courteous, friendly and eager to please. read more

Came here on a Thursday afternoon at around 3pm. Thankfully we had beaten the lunch rush here as from about 11-1ish it gets pretty busy here. The place is family owned which is always great to know. The menu was very organized and our order was kindly taken promptly. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time and was absolutely delicious! Had a combo b which came with a soda, fries, 2 fishes and 4 prawns. They were perfectly battered and fried to perfection! Have to give this place a try! May not look like the most upscale restaurant, but they really serve up some good food! Overall, great food, super friendly service and overall a great establishment. Will be back! read more

Right next to Los Portales, 101 is the best fish and chips in the Bay Area. Thank you for bringing me back to my London summer... in Bath... although, make me some mashed peas! -Matt read more

I don't know what is up with the 5-star rating, but this place isn't 5 stars to me. I checked out this place because I was in the mood for some fish and chips. I've driven pass this place every now and then for years and I was always a bit curious as to how this place still exists when so many other fish and chips joints have closed. So I checked it out on yelp and saw some positive ratings and thought I would give this place a try. I ordered the SEAFOOD SPECIAL, which came with 1 fish, 2 shrimp, 2 scallops, and 2 oysters with chips. I also ordered the MIXED VEGGIES, which came with 2 mushrooms, 2 broccoli, 2 zucchini sticks, and 2 onion rings. As for a beverage or something to drink, I was really disappointed that they only had canned drinks for $1 (Though they had a fountain machine, it must be decommissioned). The only alternative I was offered was "tap" water. So I took the tap water. My got my order and it looked great. It came with tartar sauce on the side. The malt vinegar and ketchup were in the refrigerator (along with the canned soda). I smothered my meal with the malt vinegar. I liked the fact that the vinegar was in the squeeze bottle which made it easier to come out. Rather than telling you my entire experience... just let me say that overall I was greatly disappointed of this place. For one, all the veggies I had were not fresh and looked like they've were sitting in the fridge for a while (I guess batter has a great way of hiding certain imperfections). The broccoli was not vibrant green but was turning yellow to brown around the crown area and the mushrooms were browning to mushy. The zucchini was OK, but had no flavor and the onion rings had most of its flesh cooked to dry. I felt I was eating an onion peel dipped in batter. As for the fish... where do I begin? Well the oysters were not freshly made in any way. First it was breaded and not battered (not consistent with the other fried items). Also the oysters had a hint of freezer burn... but you know what they say, "everything tastes good fried" (am I right?). The scallops were also frozen, but I believe these were dipped in batter before being fried. They were good, BUT the scallops were a bit thin... or must have shrunk while cooking. The shrimp were actually good (best part of the meal, I was sad that there was only 2). I ate tail and all. Now for the fish... the fish had a weird batter. On the outside it looked consistent with the batter from the shrimp and the veggies, but inside it looked as if the fish was dipped in batter, frozen, then dipped in batter again just before being placed in the fryer. So what you get is a thick looking piece of fish that looks great on your plate but when you bite into it you have flimsy batter-skin and, come to find out, a poor sample of fish. The vinegar and tartar sauce helped the overall flavor. Though, I was surprise to see that they charged an extra $.25 for additional tartar sauce. Really? Again, I was greatly disappointed. And to top it all off..... they gave me tap water, (which I knew when they told me when I asked for water instead of paying $1 for the can of soda), WITH NO ICE!!!! Who does that! This place does! So I leave my experience to all you yelpers. I really wanted this place to work out because I've been looking for a great fish and chip joint in the tri-city area. But I guess I will have to make a trip out to Fairfield and visit GLORY FISH AND CHIPS. read more

This was the worst fish and chips we have EVER had! The fish was dry and tasteless, even the tartar did not help. The fries were undercooked and terrible. I don't recommend this place. read more

I had this weird craving for fish and chips. What better place to go then 101 fish and chips . I have bought fish and chips with them before and yes i do agree with other users that they do not add salt in the food . But yesterday after i placed my order i did notice a small table with salt and some forks. After i got my food i just simply added salt to it. Overall im very impressed by service and food quality. read more

You in the mood for some deep fried whatever?? Then hey why the hell not?? This place ain't gonna wow you with it's fancy decor, but why would a place servin' fish 'n chips do so? If you like fish 'n chips then you'll like this place. I came here and had the seafood special the other day (1 fish, 2 prawns, 2 scallops, 2 oysters, and chips D-LISH!). Yeah baby! Smother all that batter all over that and toss it in the deep fryer cuz I got my vinegar and tarter sauce ready for some dippin'! read more

I live right next to 101 and me wife and kids go there at least once week and i just love coming here you haters stay away this place is not for you read more

This is not good food. Everything is over-fried, Super greasy. You can see the kitchen from the counter and is very filthy. Not even the fries are good, they're soggy, the taste is bland. The people here are nice but their food isn't. I tried the fish and chips but didn't like it... give it a try and see for yourself but you have been warned! read more

2.5 STARS. I feel slightly bad about giving them a not-so-good rating, but I have to be honest! I came here for lunch with a couple of friends because we were in the area. I haven't really found a great place for fish and chips, so I did not have high expectations. My friends and I shared the mixed veggies, three piece fish and chips, and the seafood special. Everything was pretty much fried. The mixed veggies came with fried broccoli, fried zucchini, fried mushrooms, and fried onions. The fish and chips was standard, it came with fried fish and french fries. The seafood special came with fried scallops, fried prawns, fried oysters, and some more fried fish. If I had to choose, I only liked the fish, broccoli, and prawns. The fish was actually fried pretty well. It was crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The fries were decent too, but the tartar sauce was gross. There was some really sour aftertaste and it tasted like it was old. The fish may be good, but the tartar sauce really turned me off. I guess we should have thought twice about coming here. The fact that they also serve Chinese food here, should have been a huge warning sign. read more

My favorite fish and chips place. It's a quaint mom and pop shop near where I live. The only thing that I've order is the fish and chips but I have to say that this place sells the best fish and chips around. I wouldn't recommend ordering anything else because I've not tried them. You can expect to get a satisfying fillet of fish and crispy stake cut fries. When I order fish here it always comes out hot, juicy, and crispy. I also really enjoy the tarter sauce. I've had fish and chips from other places like BJ's and other big chain diners; I have to say that I like this one the most. Most of the people that are calling the food bland is probably because are used to having their food over salted. They have a condiment table if you need it. I've eaten here at least a dozen times and I've never had to wait long for my order. Maybe I'm just lucky. If you are expecting fresh from the bay Seattle style fish and chips then you're at the wrong place. This restaurant might not be as fancy or as nice looking as some of the other places but they have pretty neat decorations around the restaurant and the custom service is A++. Not a fancy sit in place but again it's a very nice and quaint little place with good fish and chips. read more

101 Fish & Chips - Combo C : 3 fish, chips, and drink - Fish & Chips Near Me - Newark, California

See all

It's interesting about this place. Looks like a hole in the wall, but they are FRIGGIN DAMN SO GOOD! Prices are perfect and the fish n chips are excellent. Service... It's a tiny bit slow, but once u get u'r order, u know why they've taken u'r time ;) I HIGHLY recommend this place. It is better than H. Salt, but not by a whole lot. I give this staff and "A", since they were reasonable with their cooking time and how the fish n chips taste. AWESOME PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =9 read more

I went to this place this evening based on the reviews. It was horrible. Greasy, over battered. Absolutely on the same caliber as H.Salt in Fremont. If you have ever had good fish and chips do not go here, you will be disappointed... read more

Not great. Had the 2 piece fish and chips. Fish was nothing to rave about. Fries tasted like frozen fries- is it that hard to do fresh cut? Coleslaw was pretty good but $1.99 extra. Won't eat here again read more

Saddest fish'n'chips I've eaten in years. The fish strips are thin and overcooked and greasy to the point they won't even absorb the malt vinegar, and are utterly flavorless. Even the batter is flavorless. The chips are okay, but it's hard to do chips wrong. Maybe I'm spoiled by living close to the Duke of Edinburgh in Cupertino for many years, but darn it, fish'n'chips isn't that hard to cook! I do better at home with fish from Costco! I won't be back. read more

The only positive about this place was the customer service. The woman that rang up my order was very nice and polite. Now lets get to the food. 101 fish and chips says its British style. That is a lie... The fish is nothing more than fish out of a box or bag. No batter was made and the fish was not dipped. The so called Chips are nothing more than crinkle fries out of a bag. My fish had zero taste and was over cooked. My fries were hard and cold. I had a 3 Piece with chips and I was given a little container that had tarter sauce. It was about a half of teaspoon of sauce. I had to buy MORE tarter sauce for $1.75. This place was a complete disappointment read more

This used to be my fish and chips place during lent, but never again. Normally they have okay stuff, but this last time I went, zero flavor and was a mouthful of oil with every bite! It was such a bummer that I had spent so much for my entire family (6 of us) and not a single one of us had anything relatively edible. read more

This place is not good save yourself the trip and don't go. I had fish and chips. Both were very bland and dry. It was like eating cardboard. The ketchup, tartar sauce, and salt shaker did not help. read more

Best fish and chips, I love how the fishes are crunchy outside and tender inside. This place is really addicting. I try to support this place since not that many people are going here to try their fish. The tartar sauce is awesome. just talking about it is making me want some!! read more

It's a forgettable little restaurant where you walk in and think "wow they couldn't afford better chairs and tables?" It's just really pleasant for what it is. $4 for a big piece of fish and some chips (fries). That's reasonable to me and I like this restaurant for that yummy-ghetto feel. The employees have always been nice to me. I've never had a problem with them. They have a very diverse menu and I get excited to try new things, but I always end up getting the $4 fish and chips! I also get the FRIED BANANA which is quite decent. It could be better but it's hard to find fried banana being served in a restaurant either way. read more

If I was forced to pick a place with the best fish and chips in the tri-cities area. I would go ahead and pick this one. Fish pieces are pretty decent size and batter has some flavor. It did not surprise me that it was very greasy because that usually happens when you deep fry something. No I don't claim to have tasted all the fish and chips in the tri-cities area. But I have tried my share so i base my opinion on that. I've tried a few places in London too but I wouldn't say any of them trumps american fish and chips. It's all comparable. And serving egg rolls off the same menu should not automatically have any bearing on how good your fish and chips are. No reason why fish and chips and egg rolls cannot co-exist in harmony. read more

ABSOLUTELY disgusting! DO NOT go to this establishment for food! It's sketchy to begin with once walking in and the food was near to the worst fish and chips I've ever had! 1/2 my family live in England & I've spent the past 26 years visiting England so I know how it's supposed to taste! My husband and I will never go back to this place again! read more

I ordered the "A" options that included fish, scallops, oysters, prawns and chips. Fish was alright, but everything seemed overly breaded and the fries were over done. Soda comes in cans and the sauce options are vinegar, ketchup, hot sauce (really just Tapatio) and tartar sauce ($.25 for extra over the dab they give you out the gate.) read more

Found this place randomly and so happy I decided to try it. So so yummy! Fish is battered perfectly. Calamari was amazing too and the friend zucchini mmmmm... definitely will be coming back. read more

I work right around the corner, so naturally I ended up trying the 101 and boy I wasn't disappointed. I'm not really a fish and chip person but they make some of the best kung pao chicken I have ever had. I order it at least twice a week, which probably sounds weird, but it is just SO GOOD. On the picture, it doesn't look like much but it has a homemade flavor that I can't get enough of. The staff are very friendly and fast. They even recognize my voice over the phone when I call to place my order. Overall I really enjoy coming here. Fast and pleasant service and delicious kung pao. read more

This rating is based on my taste buds for food. So this place gets 2 for taste. Reason for my bad experience...First charge, overprice on my soda and for frozen food. I ordered chicken strips combo, I know I shouldn't have ordered chicken strips at a fish and chips place. But I did order an extra 1 fish for about 3 bucks. So here is the lay down. Fish: the best part. I believe it's not quite "london style"; in the fact, I couldn't easily access my pepper but as an upside they did have vinegar. The batter was fried the fish was hot. The batter taste like fried fish(normal) and the cod was not very good (I believe it's frozen). The tarter sauce(which is not from london) is sweet o_0? It reminds me of the Japanese mayo. Chicken: Never ever order chicken here. It is frozen to the bone. I literally saw them take it out of the freezer. It taste like frozen food at your local supermarket. And here is the catch, the sauce. They use a Asian sweet and sour sauce, which you can find at 99 ranch. Chips/Fries: I had real chips before they look like potato chips and not from the fry machine they have at in and out. The fries is also frozen fries and reheated. Not much explaining here. So for the food. 2 stars. read more

It was so good!! The fish was fresh ,delicious .Tartar sauce is awesome! Prawns and oysters are juicy and huge. My friend also try their Chinese food,The WON-TON SOUP is the best in the bay area .My family went to here once a week at least. read more

TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE! I created a Yelp account just to be able to write a review about how atrocious the fish and chips are at this place. Fish was flat with the weirdest looking breading I've seen (or tasted for that matter). As for the fish itself, I can't ascertain what kind was used here but it might as well have been chicken because it would have been more tasty. The "chips" were not traditional London chips, but more like twice-fried Ore Ida frozen fries. For past positive reviewers of 101 Fish & Chips & those who choose to disregard the negative reviews (like I mistakenly did) then I recommend that during your next fish & chips craving you try Camelot Fish & Chips in Pacifica for a truly enjoyable experience. read more

Small little fish and chips place run by a couple of Chinese ladies. They have both batter fried fish and chips as well as some chinese food. The chinese food is not that great. The fish and chips are really good. Its nice and crispy on the outside, and the fish is nice and soft on the inside. The clam chowder is pretty good as well. Very reasonable and great when your craving that fish and chips. The people are friendly and have even made food for when when i've walked in just as they are closing. read more

OMG...the owners can only cook 1 order at a time. 2 of us here. 46 minutes to get my order, I have no clue how long it took the guy that was here before me, as he was waiting when I came in. Another couple came in and they had ordered their food on the phone and it still was not cooked when they arrived. When I finally was able to get my order and leave, the food was ok. Nothing that I can't live without. I found it ridiculous that I had to pay $1.50 for tarter sauce though read more

Was craving fish and chips and sine H Salt Esquire Fish and Chips is no longer we tried 101 Fish and Chips. Very dis appointed. The place was dirty the fans and lights we black with dust and grease showering the junk are on no the dining room. The food was terrible! The Fish was tasteless, tasted like freezer and the batter was eggy and didn't stick to the fish. Not a beer battered seasoned fish. The Chips were not seasoned and it was very oily. The best part of the meal was the onion rings but they would have been so much better with a beer batter and salt. Maybe they should taste the food before they serve it. Too bad it was a hot day and we were so looking forward to eating fish and chips. read more

Ummm..ok i guess. Fish and chips were all crispy but the fish looked and tasted like giant fish sticks. For 9 bucks, i expected non fishstick looking fried fish. They also claim to be serving british pub style fish and chips...umm not like any British Pub I've visited. read more

I've been buying fish and chips here off and on for 5 years. They were always expensive and slow. But now, the portions are very small, the batter is low quality and bland, a little overcooked, and bored, tired owners on the cash register and fryer. Next time I'm going to a Japanese restaurant for fish and shrimp tempura. The fish is now frozen out of a box already battered. What are these people thinking? read more

The fish an chips are ok. I think they could improve their batter a bit but always healthy portions. I actually like their rice plates more, their chicken with broccoli with garlic sauce is fantastic. Definitely take out; there is no AC and the place has a oily feel. read more

Walked in and walked out! Never been to a fried fish place that does not smell like fish. It smells in there. My son said it stinks in here before I said anything! read more

My 2nd time coming here. The fish & chips were delicious! Also ordered mushrooms & onion rings. Very, very good. The lady that took our order was very nice also! We will keep coming back. read more

If you're craving some delicious fish and chips, please, please avoid this place at all costs! Gawd awful. Frozen. Not cod. Awful tartar sauce! Really disgusting! And they make you wait like 20 minutes to get the "food." 1 star is too high a rating. read more

I have been going here for roughly a year and a half. Each time I went, I was very pleased. Once, since the lady behind the counter remembered me ordering a lot, she offered a free soda, and I gladly accepted. I always order number 5. They do not use imitation meat. It is as real as can be! I love everything there! Service, food, and a place to eat! read more
