This fish itself is of very good quality. Fresh and sliced thick. Lightly battered, but like all the other reviews you see posted here, it is greasy. French fries are not nearly as greasy and are tasty (better than the taste of the fish batter) and the peas served as a side are unique and interesting. They are still trying to figure things out as the experience is a bit clunky . . . sodas are self serve, but for the tea you have to get the host at the front door to go into a kitchen to get it for you. I'd go back and try the spicy version to see it if it better. read more

Very relaxed atmosphere and staff were friendly and helpful. I'm gonna have to go 3 stars. It was good fish and chips. The tartar sauce was different than anything I had tasted before, but I guess I prefer more traditional tartar sauce. There was a lot of separation from the skin and the fish too. The skin was wonderfully crispy though, as were the Don't get me wrong, it was all good, but it was just good. Another factor for me and the rating is the price for what you get. $23 for fish and chips and a drink is just a little too much for the amount of food that is provided. 3*** = Good but no separation from similar restaurants 4**** = Set themselves a part with quality food and I want to go back. 5*****= You have to go out of your way and make a special trip to try the deliciousness that is there! read more

Made the journey to Fish Pop for some bonafide Fish and Chips. Fish Pop is one of several eateries in this modern take of the Food Court. Service was very good. Was greeted by Host at front door who explained the QR code ordering process and seated us. A waitress stopped by to ensure we understood the ordering process and to offer getting us anything from the large central bar. We did not get any alcoholic beverages. However, the had an amazingly large selection of beers on tap. We ordered the fish and chips and thy were so good! Loved their take on tartar sauce, almost more like a dill ranch sauce. Excellent chips! A hearty portion of fish perfectly fried. Although a little bit of a drive for us, we would definitely return. read more

Great food!!! Great service. Fun location. For what they are attempting to do at this location they nailed it. The fish fillets were meaty, not overly battered/breaded and not greasy. I will eat here again. read more

Located inside the food hall, fish pop had delicious perfectly crisp fried fish! We got the spicy fish but it didn't have much heat. I loved the tartar sauce and perfectly crispy batter.

I'm mad I don't have better pictures! The ambiance is like a mall food court the fish is delicious and crisp even air fried the next day fries included. The service is takeout style friendly but nothing personable does have vinegar if you like it like me. I had the spicy fish generous portion but is greasy for those who have sensitive stomachs like myself but too good to not eat a couple bites. Would eat here again. Like the peas as a nice touch note my image is next day reheated still tasty read more

It was my first time at Tempe eatz. From outside it looks closed. I ordered the fish and chips- the fish was perfect flaky crust and soft well seasoned meat. Fries were good as well. As you enter you order at Kiosk or at cashier. I missed that when I came in. One fillet and a smaller piece of fish come with this. I wish there's an option to add another fillet to the order. I definitely recommend it. Next time I will try the spicy option. read more

Stopped by Fish Pop inside Tempe Eats after a workout at 24 Hour Fitness. I actually found it through an Instagram ad, and I'm glad I did! Teresa was super welcoming and suggested I try one of their draft beers I didn't this time, but now I've got another reason to come back. Tempe Eats is set up kind of like little pods or stations, with different restaurants tucked inside. It's easy to miss from the outside, especially if you're searching by restaurant name instead of the Tempe Eats sign but once you find it, it's super cute inside. I ordered The OG fish and chips the fish was crispy perfection, and the fries were really solid too. As a foodie, I can't give it a full five stars though because the sides fell short. The coleslaw was definitely original... just not my favorite, and the peas didn't do much for me either. Still, the fish? The fries? Worth the visit for sure. read more

Fish Pop - Spicy Fish & Chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Well we got suckered to make the drive from Gilbert to check this place out off of TikTok and let me say--it was a slight disappointment. As a whole for Tempe Eats--it's an interesting concept especially nestled in a college neighborhood but it was disappointing. We came out on a Sunday and it was slow. Maybe a handful of people. The service was extremely slow. We came for the seemingly incredible fish N chips and beers on tap from the video we seen--welp the tap was all down and out of order. Very disappointing. The video made it seem bigger--it's not but also not working. I got the spicy fish--really good. Had some flavor. Not hot at all. The fries and fish were very crispy which I loved. The fiancé got the standard fish and chips--he rated his meal a 5/10 because the fish didn't have any flavor. He said the best part of his meal were his fries. We are both intended to have some drinks and since the tap was out--we would have ordered cocktails but the menu gave us college student selection. We won't be back but we can say we tried it? read more

I happened to catch fish pop in their DT Phoenix location on McDowell. As you walk into the restaurant the pop up area is right there, can't miss it. The restaurant was closed, the fish pop people are the only ones there during the day. So Fish Pop is an off shoot of the Chix Pop restaurant, and all they make is fish n chips. You can get it with spicier seasoning ( wasn't spicy to me, it had a Cajun flavor) or plain. This was made perfect imo, breading was seasoned just right and the fish wasn't overcooked at all. I left there wanting more!!!! The fish of course also came with fries. Came out to be $20 ish, FYI. If I had one suggestion it would be to have some hot sauce available for those who need the heat. They also are at the location in Tempe as well. Go go go! Thanks. read more

Fish Pop - Fish n chips. 10000000 stars - Fish & Chips Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Finally got to try Fish Pop after hearing about it for sometime! We went in on a weekday and luckily it wasn't busy so we didn't have a long wait. We ordered the original fish and the spicy butter fish. I will say it's a bit pricey. The original is about $20 and the spicy is about $22. With tip, we ended up paying $50. I will say though, they give you a big piece of fish! It was crunchy, fish was flaky, and was steaming hot. The original is good. The spicy butter seasoning tasted sort of like a mix of Cajun and a tiny bit of sweet barbecue, and I liked it! Fries were also good. Maybe a little soggy since the fish was sitting on top of the fries, but I don't mind slightly soggy fries. Each dish was also served with a little side of peas and their sauce (which was amazing! I ate the entire container lol). I think it's worth a try at least once. I believe they are only at the Tempe Eats location until August, so best to try it now before they're gone! read more

"Finally finally finally got to go to @fishpop.la in k town yesterday. Trained by Michelin star chefs, Joon takes on fish and chips and my god does he do it!!!" ― Chrissy Teigen, April 2, 2021 I've been wanting to come in here after seeing Chrissy Teigen take two giant chomps out of their fried cod on Instagram. $20 for Original, $22 for Spicy Butter. I ended up getting both. The tartar sauce that accompanies the fish is flavorful and creamy and the mushy peas made for a nice refreshing bite after your mouth gets coated in oil. As for the fish... Mama Mia! Crispy, flaky, and moist! The Spicy Butter cod did have a soggier coating from the butter, I assume, and I didn't taste too much of a difference in terms of flavor compared to the Original if I were honest. Nonetheless, I enjoyed every bite. I've been flip-flopping between 4 or 5 stars but ultimately, I'm choosing five-stars because I can't stop thinking about butter and dill. Mmm! Support Asian-owned businesses. Support Chef Joon! read more

This was my first time here. Right when I walked in I was greeted very nicely by the hostess up front. She was very helpful and explained to me how their dining hall works. She took my order and it came out very quickly in about 10 minutes. As I was waiting, another employee was walking by checking on customers. She was very friendly as well. Now to the food. I got the spicy fish and chips meal. This came with a big piece of fish, seasoned fries, mushy peas, lemon, pepperoncini, and tartar sauce. As described, the fish had a spicy kick to it but it did not linger which is great for those who cannot tolerate heat. It was flavorful, and well seasoned. It seemed to be coated in a curry sauce, then battered and fried. The fries were nice and crisp, well seasoned as well. Tartar sauce was very good! People tend to push the peas to the side in their review but for me, it added a nice brightness and sweetness that cuts the savoriness of the fish n chips which I can appreciate. Overall I would definitely dine here again! 10/10 read more

Fish Pop - Spicy Fish and Chips meal - Fish & Chips Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

The line here was about 10 people deep when we arrived last night for dinner and we waited about 25 minutes before we could order. We didn't know that they only accepted Zelle, Venmo, and or cash so it took us some time to provide proof of payment at the register since we were going to use Zelle and Venmo. I'm assuming this is probably why the wait in line tends to be long since placing your order is actually super quick. It was pretty busy so it was a challenge finding a table. We sat outside first but then migrated inside when we saw a table open up. Our orders took about 15 minutes and our numbers were called out when ready. We had ordered: Two spicy butters ($22 each) Two originals ($20 each) I was able to sample both and I would go with the original one if I had to choose. The spicy butter one had too much Cajun seasoning for my liking. The batter was super thick on both and I found it to be overwhelming as it was oily. I could barely see or taste the fish as the outside was too thick..... The french fries were delicious though and they were served hot and crispy! The employees we interacted with were super friendly! read more

Fish Pop - Spicy butter fish - Fish & Chips Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Fresh from the sea and straight to the mouth. Popped my Fish Pop cherry today and oh what a day. Got the original ($20) and spicy butter ($22) to share. We didn't realize that the cod would come with peas but it was a nice addition. Crispy, crunchy, and just a tad bit oily. Being honest here, I didn't think the spicy butter tasted any different than the original but they definitely looked different. Both fish dishes were good regardless. They currently accept cash, Venmo, and Zelle. They're truly the gem of Tempe Eats. Get that bag, Chef Joon and Fish Pop! read more

I've already submitted a review on the Tempe Eats Food Hall & Bar and following up with the specific reason we were brought here...which is the pop-up called Fish Pop. We had seen a story on the local news about the chef and his pop-up experience and because we love fish & chips, we were down with visiting. Instead of ordering via the QR Code for the other restaurants making up this hall, we went directly to the window for Fish Pop. They had two things on the menu, their Fish & Chips original along with a second version they called Spicy Butter. We ordered one of each just to give both a try. As many others have already reported, we really didn't notice a spicy tone with the Spicy Butter but both fish dishes were done to perfection. Not greasy in the least, but tender white fish encased in a light batter and fried to goodness. The dish comes with their seasoned fries along with the chef's version of mushy peas. Ok, before you turn your nose up...give this guy's version a chance. OMG! They were not mushy, they were cooked perfectly with seasoning and were just so good. We could have made a meal of those peas! So we had to look up the story behind the peas being served with fish & chips and turns out that is a thing in northern England. I saw many pictures of actually mushed peas as I was researching and we both agreed that they version we had may be the best! Not sure what the seasoning is he uses, but man-oh-man...they were delicious! And the tartar sauce isn't your traditional white mayo...so much flavor and really wonderful with the fish! Overall a great experience and we'd love to have your fish & chips (and those amazing peas) again! It will be interesting to see if Fish Pop lands more permanently here in the valley. Great experience! read more

Heard about the fish and chips here and how they are "the best" ever so I had to try it. I'm not sure I would say the best ever but they are definitely on the list of top selections. The fish was very flakey but moist, and the coating was tasty and fried to perfection. It came with a small side of peas, which I thought was a cool touch given its commonality in like the UK and Ireland. The spicy version was good but to be honest (and I like spicy) the spiciness kind of took away from the fish itself. The regular was really good. The fries? Wow, amazing! I know it's just fries, but fries can make or break a meal. The place was cool in its concept where it's like a mall food court but by itself with no mall attached. There seemed to be a bar in the middle and that was cool as well. The service was actually really good for what it was. I mean, it's like a food court but there was a girl at the entrance explaining the concept and how they do what they do and there were either 5 or 6 restaurants in there. For Fish Pop, I would say it deserves 5 stars for the concept, the food, and what service comes with it but I can only give 4 stars because, in my opinion, the prices were somewhat high. $20 for a large and a small piece of fish with fries just seems a little excessive to me. Check them out, but look them up by finding "Tempe eats" because I don't think the "POP" up on any maps as a restaurant... lol, see what I did there? read more

This place is definitely worth the hype it gets online! I went on a Friday at 2 pm, so there wasn't a line and I didn't have to wait very long. The location is really cool, there were a few other restaurants to choose from if someone in your group doesn't like fish. There was also plenty of seating options and a large bar with a lot of tv's around it. It's a bit pricey, but they give you a nice portion of 2 pieces of fish and a good amount of fries. I got the original and it tasted very good and was really crispy. It was a bit greasy, but that is to be expected with fish and chips. The fish and tartar sauce were great, but the fries were the star of the show for me. read more

AMAZING fish n chips. Ever since I left England I've been searching for good fish and chips. This ribs, English fish and chips, including the malt vinegar. Tartar sauce is the BEST. Difficult to locate, INSIDE the Tempe Eats Food Hall. Tony noticed my frustration and quickly stepped in to my aid. Enjoyed a free soda "on the house" I'll be back, definitely.

I've seen videos on Fishpop all over TikTok and Instagram lately, so as soon as they moved into a space where customers could line up indoors and out of the heat, I made a plan to visit. We ate there on a Wednesday evening and the line to order was about 10 people long. There was also an area off to the side where people were waiting for takeout orders. We waited about 20 minutes in line, so not too bad. After we ordered, we found a table and waited about 15 minutes for our food. My husband and I ordered one original batter and one spicy butter coated so we could try both. The tartar sauce that comes with each order is delicious. The fish was crispy and fried to perfection, nothing was too greasy. I liked the original batter slightly more than the spicy but they were both very good. read more

Seen this place originally via Instagram, so I took the opportunity to check it out. In general, this is Food Hall concept that offers a full service bar, I believe. Since I do not drink I cannot say for certain. But I did notice a wall of beers on tap next to the soda machine. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by a hostess that explained it was an open seating, it's a fairly large facility that also offers some patio type seating. There is also a condiment bar, that offers minimal items with to go sauce cups. Once you pick your seating, you can simply scan the QR code to order or place your order at their POS tablet/screen. I opted to order from this vendor and got their basic plain fish & chips/fries. I figured if their basic was good, I would return to try their spicy butter version. Once my order was delivered, I immediately noticed that the fried fish was still hot, very crispy and still moist & flaky on the inside. The fries were extra crispy and lightly seasoned. It also is served with what they deem as mushy peas & a really good tartar sauce. The tartar sauce was tangy and flavorful. The hostess followed up by offering packets of malt vinegar. Everything was good and properly cooked. I will definitely return to try their spicy fish and some of the other vendors offered at this food hall. read more

Saw this place on tiktok saying how it was worth the wait and the flavor is great and their fish and chips are done right. What a scam! Only saving grace was the fries honestly. They were crispy and cooked perfectly. I will say the fish was cooked perfectly too, but the weight portion was not worth $20 and didn't look like what tiktok showed. The fish was subpar at best, absolutely nothing stuck out. Also, I don't k ow if the peas were supposed to be ice cold, but they were. Drove 30 min out to try this place, wouldn't be back. read more

The food was excellent. The spicy fish & chips, very crispy light breading, fries were seasoned well. Slice of lemon and portion cup of peas. Typically peas in England are a bit more smashed. Also they should have had Malt Vinegar available, didn't see any around. It was quite confusing walking in, because it's more like a food hall, pop ups within Ghost Kitchens. It has a weird vibe walking in. There was a hostess who took our order, wanted a tip. But wasn't going to bring us our food. Then I asked about drinks, and I would need to do that ourselves. Seems like a waste of time to deal with hostess. While she was eating a loaded potato. I'd suggest going straight to the bar and get service and hospitality from Lorez. The way she carried herself was like an Owner of Place. Beautiful smile and very knowledgeable. She is the Centerpiece to the whole establishment. Had a very nice young lady who was the food runner /busser, working hard and very great service. Nice seating area inside, patio and bar seating. You can purchase a beer card, as they have a wall of beers that are automated through a card. But Lorez was happy just to go fill our pints. read more

Can't turn on TikTok without seeing something on fish pop so we had to check it out. First time at Tempe eats pretty cool concept not too many places open when we were there, but it didn't matter because we were there for Fish pop of course we got the fish and chips and it was good. The fish was great. The fries were OK. I prefer bigger fries when eating fish and chips. I now hear they have a cousin chicken pop there so I'm sure I will be heading back to Tempe eats again soon. read more

Fish Pop is very good! Batter is very crispy and the fish is moist and flakey. I had the spicy fish. Not too spicy, although I can handle spice Full of flavor! My son had regular. Also, crispy and flavorful. Orders came with fries. Pleasent surprise! Crispy and great flavor! Some kind of thin coat, but very good. Great place to go for fish and chips. Unfortunately, the only sauce we could get was the house made tarter sauce. Not too bad. Missing the seaweed tarter on the menu and the curry. Might have been good, or maybe not. Don't know. Over all, pretty tasty! read more

I am beyond proud of myself for making to this popup fish and chips shop before they leave the food hall!!! Every bite of the fish is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

If they were, I could see myself coming here over and over again. I will willingly break my wallet for this place! read more

I'm so glad Fishpop extended their stay at Tempe Eats Food Hall through the end of July. I was finally able to make it there today (Monday) to try it. My friend and I got there at 4pm. We were ahead of any after-work / dinner crowd, so there was plenty of parking right in front and on the side of the building. Behind it is an LA Fitness already with a nearly full parking lot. The inside looks very clean with plenty of seating including a bar with TVs. There was someone sitting by the entrance letting us know to sit anywhere and order food by scanning the QR code at the table or by using the kiosk. I think you can also order directly at the counter of each vendor. We ordered using the QR code. It was very convenient in that it lists all of the vendors and their food options, so you can place an order with multiple vendors at the same time. We both got the Fishpop Original Fish & Chips. It took less than 10 minutes to get our food. Both the fish and chips/fries were lightly seasoned and crispy. The fish was burning hot, so be careful! I tried the side of peas after finishing the fish, and it was kind of nice to cut through the greasiness of the meal. I've never liked tartar sauce, but I tried theirs anyway because it looked like it was made from scratch. It just had too much dill for me. My friend enjoyed it and finished two servings of it! I think Fishpop meets the hype, and hope that they stick around for longer. I definitely want to go back and try their other new business, Chik Pop! read more

My original order was wrong. Ordered the spicy fish and they made the plain fish. That was fine stuff happens. I returned it to the counter for them to correct the order. It came back very fast. It was covered in grease and flowed on to the fry's and the bottom of the box. The meal was uneatable at that point. $93.00 for the three of us and mine was crap. Total disappointment, I was really looking forward to this place. Not worth the time and effort. read more

If I'm being honest, Fish Pop is way overrated and not worth the price. I heard so much hype about how it's the best fish in chips in Arizona and decided to finally go check it out. We ordered one original and one spicy butter and it came out to about $45. Took about 15 minutes for the order to come out. Way too greasy. It was hard to finish because the amount of grease seeping out of the fish. The fish was flakey and moist at least. Didn't really care for the spicy butter flavor, it really didn't feel like a great addition but costed more. I think overall the seasoning needs to be better. I will say it is great that everything comes out hot and fresh. The fries are good. The peas are flavorless and cold. Not even mushy. I liked the tartar sauce, I finished the whole little container. I like the idea of the Tempe Eats building, I love pouring my own beer but it's a little unorganized. There was one server taking care of the entire place. She was nice. The counter people at Fish Pop were fine. Wasn't good or bad service. **they don't accept card, you can only send money to them using Zelle/Apple Pay or pay by cash. read more

Wasn't really a fan. The fish itself had a strong oily greasy flavor and it had way too much batter. None of the sauces they had available helped with giving it flavor as the batter was flavorless. The few fries that I was given were bombbbb and they had nice crisp. These were actually seasoned. The line was long and in total waited about 45min from when I first got in line to when I finally got my food. I would pass on this. They only accept Venmo, Zelle, and cash. read more

I'm giving this place 3.5 stars because I need to try all of the restaurants first and this place seemed a bit pricey for 2 pieces of fish and fries. Overall experience was good. I tried both spicy and original fried fish with fries. Everything was hot and fresh. The spice on the fried fish seems like it's pretty much just covered in paprika and gets all over your hands. I'll be getting the original if I try this place again, but currently focused on the others. I like how there's multiple restaurants built in one. Pretty neat. I'll be back and I'll update my stats if the food is good. lol read more

This is probably the most hyped up place currently in AZ that is making waves on social media and the food definitely is worth the hype. I suggest checking their Instagram as they will post how their line is doing since it can be very long, or no wait at all. Since they have a spot in the Tempe Eats building, you can finally enjoy this indoors with other vendors and refreshments. The spicy butter was delicious and the fries were cooked nicely. The "mushy" peas weren't mush but that's ok lol. For $20 you get an original batter and $22, you'll get the spicy butter flavor. I will say it will probably need more than 1 sauce on the side. Overall great place to get fish and chips read more

Lots of buzz about this pop up on social media and had to check it out. The food was good but the set up was just not ideal. We went when they first opened at noon. Still had to wait 30 minutes for our food. They call out like 8 to 10 numbers (orders) every 30 minutes. Also the only way to get soda is from the bar who fills up pitchers so the carbonation isn't good. I advise to bring your own drink. At $20 a person, I thought the fish and fries were good but the tarter sauce was thick and tasted like hummus. I needed a good tarter with my vinegar. Overall, definitely glad we tried it. Wouldn't recommend read more
