I had an appointment in Steveston so we decided to head to Pajos's for lunch. Late lunch at Pajo's Fish and Chips at Fisherman's Wharf Steveston location. It rained earlier but it stopped when we arrived to order. We found a dry spot to devour the 3 piece cod with fries and 2 halibut tacos with fries. Very tasty fresh cod and halibut. Rain or shine Pajo's always taste yummy! read more

I have been to Pajo's twice and didn't realize I've actually never posted about it! Summer is always the best time to go anywhere. It's so relaxing to just grab some food from Pajo's and eat near the Steveston harbour. Pajo's is famous for their fish & chips, so we got the halibut and snapper fish & chips. To be very honest, I think their fish & chips is just fine. I do like their thin and crispy batter, but the halibut we got was a bit dry and it doesn't really have a lot of flavour. The snapper actually has more flavour than the halibut, and it was less overcooked. Overall, I do think the fish & chips are okay, I just wouldn't consider coming back for it very often. read more

THE STEVESTON WHARF PAJO'S IS OPEN!!! The Garry Point location is closed. As always, absolute halibut and chips perfection at Pajo's on Steveston Wharf, plus lovely quick service and picnic tables with umbrellas. Visited today with my granddaughter and introduced her to Pajo's halibut, which she'd never had before. She was over the moon (we both were) because the food was so good. Plus, bottomless pop as well as chips?!?!?! Wow! We took the bus out from Kitsilano to visit Steveston and loved everything about the place. Charming shops, charming people working in those shops, and an all-around delightful day. But the highlight was those gorgeous fish and chips at Pajo's. Yes, it's expensive. But that's not Pajo's fault. The price of fish is off the chart. Have you ever tried to buy fresh halibut? It's not something that can grace my table very often! It's a very special treat once in awhile and nobody does it better than Pajo's. Perfection! We give it 11/10!!! read more

The cod was perfectly done with flaky fish and light batter. The fries were crispy and it was just what we wanted.

The best fish and chips in Steveston. The lineups are usually long but it is worth the wait. They are cod halibut and salmon fish and chips options. The batter is crispy and not overly greasy. The chips are nice but I personally prefer something crispier. The tartar sauce is delicious. The price point is reasonable for the quality that they offer. Lots of seats that a picnic style for families with kids or groups. They are now five locations of this establishment across Richmond read more

Always a great meal at Pajo's Rocky Point in Port Moody. The halibut is so moist and fresh and fantastic french fries. I attended on Saturday, June 22nd. Would absolutely love it if they had scallops. I would be there every weekend. I was served by a very nice young lady names Raf. Thank you Carole Murphy read more

Pacific wild cod & fries 1 pc ($12) 2 pc ($15) Signature tartar sauce included! Their cod has a very mild flavor and every bite was soft & tender. The signature tempura batter was fairly oily as expected but it was still crispy adding a good crunch! Even though the fries are bottomless, the first round was already filling for me! I would recommend getting some to-go since you can get your moneys worth. The fish & chips were kinda plain & not salty so dipping them in their signature tartar sauce (or ketchup) is a must! It's slightly pricey but portions are pretty decent. Their prices are going up too. On a Tuesday me and my friend only waited for 10 mins to get the food, very efficient and they provided the utensils we needed! We went to the one at the dock where they have around 5 tables, I think they should have employees cleaning them once in a while. read more

Pajo's - Pacific cod fish n chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Visiting from out of town and stopped here specifically because a friend said it was one of the best fish & chips he had. They didn't disappoint. It's right on the pier so it's all outdoor seating, great view of the boats and the water. No line at all on a Saturday afternoon, it was cold outside (December) but they had small heaters. Ordered the pacific cod and the Alaskan halibut. Food came out quick and was very hot and fresh. The breading was crispy, not too thick, and the fish was soft and flavorful. Fries were standard and abundant. The staff was super friendly and I noticed the girl even spoke different languages and could help out a customer who didn't speak English. I would definitely return if I was in the area again! read more

I like I like What did I get I got the salmon 2 piece and also the cod 2 piece and they all come with bottomless fries! WHAT?! Honestly I don't need the refill on the fries... it was nice marketing ad though... I like the batter mix for this and the fish is nice and soft. Environment This is by the dock. There is only outdoor seating when I went. It was cold on the day I went, the heat could be hotter..... There are a number of seats and low tables... to me it isn't as comfortable to sit and eat. Niceness of the staff The staff was regular. Nothing special about them. I was able to get the order. Dollar I thought it was rather pricey... but then again it is fish.. so acceptable...? Yes? If I am in the area I would. read more

Ah-maze-ing! I always loved and frequently visited Pajo's when living in the area. On our last return, I knew I had to make a return visit but I was also worried if it was still as good - both in terms of quality and whether my nostalgia may have over hyped it. Well I jumped back in and was pleased to enjoy fish and chips that's still one of my favorite of all-time. In spite of being right on the water, I knew it was unlikely that they picked the fish right off the nearby boats. But with that said, the fish is still far better than virtually any other place I can think about. And what I also remember about Pajo's is their perfect batter which they have perfected in: taste, texture, amount and about everything else - on top of always being perfectly cooked. Throw that in with fresh-cut fries and you have some of the best F&C out there. read more

3.5 stars: Not the best ever considering our wait on Canada Day, but serviceable enough. Came here as a recommendation and the line was starting on the top dock even before being allowed down to the bottom one only to stand in line and wait more. You get to choose from various fish and chips: cod, salmon, halibut, all at different price premiums. Seasonings and condiments (salt highly recommended) are available after you get your order. The fish pieces could be a bit larger (heard some people complain to the staff) and the fry batter more high quality; dare I say it's borderline soggy. The chips/fries are nothing special. Seating was limited when it was super packed, with tons of table vultures lurking around. The turnover rate for tables to open up was slow (annoying) for such a simple meal. Although there are carved out holes to place your paper cone of food into them. read more

It has a wide variety of fish and chips and many other food with seafood! It is super amazing! I think so far it is the best in town for fish and chips.

The weather was not so nice when i came..the main reason was actually to go see and take some pictures of cherry blossoms before all the flowers fall on the ground..... I visited the one by the steveston board walk,not busy im the third person to arrived but the problem after i got my ordered the rain fell as in heavy one...this is a small place by the water connected by a short suspended brindge to the board walk...a lot of sea gulls and other birds trying to share with clients foods... No wifi and no public wash room ..its all outside sitting but theres few tables under the roof....,theres big yellow umbrella on the outside sitting but this time the rain was really heavy those umbrella became useless.

Apparently I have been a "bad mother" (according to my friends who know this history): my kids had never had traditional fish and chips. And they're 17 and 20. Oh, I've been so remiss, so negligent, to have deprived them from such culinary wonders! Well, no more. Those mortifying days are O-VER. I brought my kids and met my friends here at Pajo's, as my friends raved about the fish and chips here (specifically the halibut). So we ordered the 3-pieces of halibut with bottomless "chips" (i.e., fries). (It cost $22, BTW)l. The kids are still talking about this meal. They say they "died and went to heaven". The halibut was perfectly cooked, dense and yet not heavy, moist and flavorful, and the outer fried coating was crispy and light and not at all greasy in the least. The tartar sauce that came with it was delicious. And the fries were so good that they went back for seconds. I had also ordered a side of cole slaw and, to be honest, this was a big disappointment. It was totally bland and devoid of any flavor or spices. It was in serious need of salt and pepper, at the least. The only subtle hint of flavor came from the raisons in the dish but even they didn't offer a lot. Normally I'd deduct a star for a subpar side dish, but in this case, the fish and chips were SO excellent that this place still rates a solid 5 stars. Planning on bringing my folks here when they visit in October. And we all can't wait! read more

This place was hard to find, I almost missed it! You have to go down steps by the pier to see it. I got the 2 piece halibut and chips for $15.75, which is kind of pricey. I suggest to skip the fries and just get the fish. PROS Fish is incredibly fresh, totally white and firm friendly staff sustainable fishing CONS The fish pieces are quite small chips were stale.... not crispy personally could have more batter read more

Pajo's - 2 piece Halibut and chips $15.75 - Fish & Chips Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Greasy and expensive for what you get... but mainly greasy. The best thing about this place is the location but the food doesn't make up for that. read more

Be patient. Order. Small talk during. The time will pass. And when it passes, it will come. It's an experience eating fried fish and fried chips on a boat deck type feel. With that calm, soothing Steveson heat. read more

Situated in the corner of the Steveston Pier where Pajo's is. The 3 piece fish and chips was about $20 and the seafood chowder was $7. It's a bit more expensive considering the portion size is on the smaller side. The fish batter was crispy but a little too oily and the fries were standard. I surprisingly really liked the chowder as it had a lot of seafood in it. I wish there was more of it. Overall, a nice experience to eat fish and chip by the pier but probably won't do it again as it wasn't worth the price for me. read more

One of the best fish and chips in the city. A gem for the city of Richmond to be sure! They do have tables and settings but they're not much. If it's busy which it almost always is especially if the weather is decent and the sun is out. Then you'll have trouble finding a spot to eat. Now with that being said. This is Steveston we are talking about. You can find a bench and sit and eat basically anywhere. It's a nixe area to walk around as well. Doesn't have to be Pajo's area to sit and have a meal. Service is OK all things considered. The food is really good! Quality fish for sure. Chips are basically fries. So nothing special there. A good place to try for sure. Highly recommended to go and check it out. read more

Not worth the price or the wait - the batter on the fish was good. Fries, very average. Woman on the check-out was very pleasant.

Pretty good fish and chips. Chips were very crispy and the fish was very tasty, not oily. Really big pieces of fish. All order were made to order. They had a big seating area. read more

Very overpriced for what you get. Can get better in any pub close to you. Size is very small, but if you think "quality over quantity," unfortunately that's not the case here. Tastes pretty good but not worth the price. But kind of a bucket list thing so may as well try it still. read more

It's a real busy spot. A very efficient operation. An institution in Steveston B.C. Now the food: All wild caught FRESH not frozen. Cod n chips x 3 pcs. Halibut n chips x 3 pcs. X2 sides of cole slaw. D I Y dining experience: 44 bucks Canadian approx 30usd two persons lunchtime dining "in" which translates ordering at one window. Waiting for your #, to picking up round the corner & carrying from counter to seat yerself table, all whilst helping yerself to condiments including VINEGAR..... a must when the deep fryer is working OVERTIME. Yes.... twas a tad on the GREASY side .... N.B. Staff removed vinegar from my table whilst I wished some more, WITHOUT asking! Minus one star. Cole slaw tasty fresh and a generous serving for 2 bucks each.....didn't want raisins in it....they were mixed in so had to fish em out. Fish was a decent serve. Nice thin batter but happen their oil wasn't quite hot enough? Shouldn't be retaining THAT much oil imho. DATS why vinegar and or lemon juice is importantly part of the experience imho. Lotsa chips. Fresh not frozen. Couldn't wouldn't eat dat many. Suggest one order of chips 2 pax sharing. Order fish separately. 4 stars for value and QUALITY minus the service lapse which spoiled my enjoyment = a strong 3 star review 3.5 if I could read more

It seemed like the thing to do - sit outside overseeing the waters by the pier, eating freshly battered fish & chips, on a nice sunny afternoon. Reality was a long line-up, burning out in the sun (shortage of shaded seating), bending over a low bench to eat some pricey fish & chips. Was the food good enough for a purposeful repeat? Nope. We had the 3pc Halibut & Chips ($21), 1pc (kids menu) Cod & Chips ($7 incl a soft drink) and a Seafood Chowder ($7). The Halibut was dry and flaky, and we definitely liked the Cod better as it was more moist. The batter was done nice and crispy. The bottomless fries it came with were meah- lacked seasoning/taste, so we didn't try to get more. The seafood chowder (10oz) was thick with salmon, clams, corn, tomato, etc tasted good and wish it was bigger. read more

I love the Pajo's in rocky point park... but this... this is not the Pajo's I've loved since I was a kid. I'm going to start with the view. The view is beautiful, it is quite chilly on the dock so I suggest bringing a sweater or wind breaker even on a hot day. There is a ton of seating with picnic benches and tables with booth like qualities. It is wheel chair accessible but it won't be easy getting up and down the metal ramp. Ordering was quick and easy and the food came within 5 min (maybe that's the problem). The halibut batter was absolutely bland and the fries were a little mushy. The burger bun was soft but falling apart as you ate it for the fish burger. And the tartar sauce had little to no lemon in it. The staff all seemed to be having a bad day as well and were quite snappy with customers including us. They weren't even busy so not sure what they seemed so stressed about and there was about 5-6 people back in the open kitchen. So not under staffed. Maybe find some where else to eat in Steveston. read more

When in Steveston, it's almost imperative to grab a bite from Pajo's. Your food is made to order so be patient, as it is worth the wait. There is seating on the water and picnic tables above on the pier. When your order is eat in, they put your food in these newspaper cones making it easy to hold and eat from. The food is fresh and the service is good. Beware of the seagulls. read more

Recently, I visited this place twice with my girlfriend and another time with my parents. I tried the halibut fish and chips and the cod fish and chips. I love both the halibut fish and chips and the cod fish and chips, but I did not feel that the halibut was worth it, as it contained only small pieces of fish, but the batter was huge. I do want to confirm that the fish was 100% halibut and you are getting the real thing. I have to admit that the batter was yummy for someone who isn't a big fan of deep fried foods. The cod fish and chips had more fish in it and I felt that the cod tasted fresher than the halibut. I am usually not a big fan of french fries, but I do like their fries a lot because they don't taste or feel really greasy and they were not over fried to the point of being dark brown. I recommend bringing a warm clothing to wear if you plan to sit on the floating dock or near the boardwalk because it can get cold and windy in spring. read more

Pajo's - Two piece halibut fish and chips. - Fish & Chips Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

This place is just down a small ramp, on the water so you may walk by it if you don't look. There are some tables up at top and the tables have small holes so that you can place your cone-shaped plate into it. On a sunny day, it is extremely busy so getting a table may be hard and there is usually a line. The fish used to be a lot better but it seems to have gone down a little. I find The Fish Counter a little better. The fish size is smaller than before but still juicy. The fries are crispy and not as greasy as other places. read more

This is my favorite fish & chips place! It's right on the water, and we came here on a sunny day. After walking around, we got hungry and found this gem. There wasn't a line, and once we ordered, there's a variety of condiments you can take. The orders come in a cone-shaped container, and was very big! I was so full afterwards. I love this type of batter for fish & chips. It was smooth, but thicker and crunchier? It's difficult to describe, so you'll just have to go and try it :) read more

The location is pretty cool, but it's definitely the worst fish from a fish and chippy that I've had in greater Vancouver. Food was hot and service good but the cod itself was just odd - it was chewy and square under the batter... seemed frozen not fresh to me, which is super strange since they're a fish and chip spot? I'd understand at a chain restaurant. Tartare sauce was pretty rubbish too - like mayo with a couple of pickle chunks. Wouldn't buy again. read more

Three of us bicycled to the location. Two orders of Halibut and one order of Cod two piece offerings. Fish was excellent, tasty and cooked to perfection. Fries were a different story. Soggy, greasy and definitely the bottom of the bucket. The fries were mostly broken bits mixed with brunt pieces. Recommend skip the fries. read more

Outdoor seating only. Only a few spots have heated lamps above so it's best to come on a nice sunny day. No dogs allowed. Fish tacos (2/5) Not super spectacular. I thought it was a bit skimpy on the fish. Flavor was a little lacking. Don't get these. Salmon and chips (2/5) They were wayyyy too oily. My stomach felt the punishment of my decision. Endless fries didn't help either... The wild sockeye salmon was about what I'd expect so it's probably a 4/5. Fries were underwhelming. (2/5) On the plus side, we had a great time exploring the wharf! read more

And just like that SUMMER HAS BEGUN!! 2 piece cod and chips 13 When it's sunny everyone flocks to steveston Grew up eating pajos fish and chips and I still think it's the best fish and chips so far. Although throughout the years ive had a couple bad ones. Definitely go to the floating one by the wharf and not the one at Garry point. The quality is a big difference it's nice and crispy and the fish is actually attached to the batter whereas the Garry point one it just slides right off the chips are delicious thick cut fries perfect with the delicious tartar sauce I'm a sucker for tartar sauce. End your trip with a Timothys frozen yogurt and you're good to go read more

I ordered the 2 piece wild salmon fish and chips. The chips were good and the wild salmon was fabulous, moist and tasty. What I didn't like was the fact that each piece of fish was about 3" long and 2" wide. Each piece of fish was about 2 bites each. For $19.50 I would expect to have more fish than that. Last time I was in Vancouver and visited this restaurant, the pieces were twice as big. I don't think I can justify having wild salmon fish and chips at this place anymore. Many other restaurants that serve wild salmon fish and chips. read more

Went to Pajos with my son for fish and chips yesterday in Steveston. Ordered the 3 piece halibut and chips. What we got was 4 tiny pieces of fish and pretty stale chips. Spent over $35. and the soft drinks are way overpriced at almost $4.00 each. APPALLED. Disappointed. Never ever going back. You want to rip off tourists go ahead, but locals are not going to be abused by you Pajo. bye bye. read more

This was a real find. I was looking for the town Steveson since my friend informed me that it was where they filmed one of my fave tv shows. Once Upon A Time. While walking through the town trying to find landmarks from the show, I decided to try the fresh seafood caught in this fishing village. Pajo's Fish & Chips was crowded so I figured it would be good. My assumption was right. The fish was flavorful and not soaked in oil. The crispy outside coat was crispy yet delicate as it crumbled in your mouth. The chips were fried to perfection. I also orderd the crab cakes which were different in texture than I am normally used too. It's a little pricy for the items, but sometimes you have to dish it out if you want something fresh. As for Storybrooke, I found it here in this small town which is truely magical. read more

I gotta say I was expecting a little more from this place. The reviews might have raised my expectations, but I found the fish to be a little soggy and overly greasy.

The most famous place for fish and chips in the city, they used to have a free birthday deal of an order of fish and chips. Now, it is buy one get one free but the taste regardless, is really good! because it is so busy, the food is freshly fried and comes in quite a large portion. Although fish and chips arent my favourite food in the world, the batter on the fish isn't too thick and their fries are nice and crispy! A good place for fish and chips with an ambience that promotes it. read more
