    This is a little grab and go snack shack just off of the main boardwalk in Venice Beach. It's well decorated and colorful. - I purchased the fries and I found them very delicious. The person taking my order was polite and answered all of my questions. The service was quick and I enjoyed my experience.

    Box of Large Chips

    Ordered a box of chips because I smelled it from someone else and asked them where they got the fries. They are hand cut Belgian type fries where it's thick cut and perfectly crispy on the outside and piping out in the middle where you go "ahhh ahhhhh ahhh" with your mouth because it's so fresh and hot. I captioned the photo "fry facial" because you are literally getting a facial with the steam when you opened the box. It comes with two toppings and a sauce if your choice. I went with garlic and rosemary. Winning combo when it's already seasoned with salt. Every bite had both. Couldn't even finish because the order was plentiful. Will def come back.

    Great little spot on the cutest plaza off the main strip. Fresh hand cut fries. Food hit the spot, a tad oily but it's fried seafood so ya know. Great service and came out pretty quick, hot and fresh. Love the vegan fish and chips option they had, something for everyone

    A+ Fishies & jalapeño seasoned Chippies.

    Window Only, outside seating. Delicious! Those are your bullet points. Eater LA had a mini-spotlight on this spot in their top places to eat in Venice, CA. Otherwise, it's a tiny hole in the wall, in a weird eclectic area, that I would've walked past. But we drove here, specifically for this place. Anyway, They were right. The classic Fish & Chips is BIG and fantastic. Very filling. They offer spices for their fries too. Obvi I went with the jalapeño seasoning, and it was GREAT. Super helpful employee who explained all the options well. If anyone I know goes to Venice, I will recommend this spot.

    Fish & chips spot alongside Venice Beach. The fish is pretty decent (not the most tender that I've had but still hits the craving for it) but the chips (or fries) though.....wowow. Super tasty with the California rosemary chippy salt (I'm really curious about the other chippy salt flavors now!). Ended up not even using any condiment dips for them. Entree is sharable for two people as like a satiating snack portion otherwise I recommend ordering double. Wished there was more seating right in front of the shop as there is only one dedicated two-seat table and a bench (the neighboring food spots provide more). Overall I recommend checking this place out if hunger strikes while exploring Venice Beach!

    This was hands down the worst fish and chips I've had in Los Angeles. The manager admitted the fish were pre-bought sticks--likely from Smart & Final. The calamari was overcooked and brown, the oil tasted old, and the batter had a strange chemical flavor. Both seafood items were bland and soggy. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless you're just ordering the fries, which were surprisingly decent. Everything else? A deep-fried disappointment.

    Was in the area and wanted to try this place. The fish and chips didn't impress me. The fish was crispy and juicy but it tasted like it was fried in old oil. We got the garlic fries and those were good. It was just average. I wouldn't come back. Staff was really nice and there's a few tables and chairs out front to sit and eat. Parking is beach parking that's paid or if you can find parking around Windward circle.

    Wee Chippy has some Excellent fish & chips. Staff are Friendly and all the food was super hot. You get a lot of choices with all their flavors you want on your fries as well and I like that because they were super great! Bottom line give this place a try for fish, shrimp and fries! We will be back !!

    SIMPLY DELICIOUS! I wasn't sure what to expect from this place when it was suggested for a try but all I can say is yummm! We went in National French Fry Day, and who doesn't like French fries?? Well their fries are thick hand cut delicious goody goodness! Not only that, they have VEGAN options!! Like, what?!? Yes!!! Vegan fish and chips, vegan sauces...yesss! They're located on Venice boardwalk area so it's quite touristy there (which we try to avoid) but given how delicious this food was, ughh it looks like I'll have to get over my avoidance of that area. Parking is what it is near the boardwalk...difficult lol, so if you want free parking, park a few blocks away and walk. Service was great and the food took about 15 mins. We will be back!

    Simple and delicious. Took a nice long round trip walk from Venice to Santa Monica and was starving at the end. Saw this little hole-in-the-wall and thought, "why not?" The fish and chips here are so crispy and light. The fish has the perfect crunch and is so soft and buttery inside. The chips are also good. Get the UK curry and ask for it mixed with the garlic! The guy at the window recommended this combo and i'm glad he did. For a fully fried meal, it was surprisingly light. Not greasy at all and hit the spot! Had enough chips to take home to air fry and enjoy later.

    Are the Vegan Fish & Chips 100% Vegan (no animal products cooked in the same fryer/no cross contamination)?

    Hi Heather. Yes, 100% Vegan.

    We went to Wee Chippy on Tuesday 12/8/2020. Got there before 12 so waited for opening. We waited until 12:30 and it didn't open. Wondering if they are having COVID issues and closed?

    Sorry Sharon you had that experience! We normally do open on Tuesday. and close Wednesday, but we were having a piece of equipment being delivery that Wednesday, so we changed the days around . We are back to the normal schedule now. Sorry for your…

    I had been craving to go to a restaurant that specializes in Seafood and this place was recommended…read moreto me by some co-workers. I got there with my mother and was greeted by a very lovely gentleman named Clark. He told us we could sit wherever so we seated ourselves in the outside area. He came over right away with the menus and asked if we had been there before to which we responded had not. He went over the menu with us and answered any questions we had regarding the menu. He was very sociable and friendly. We chatted with him and put in an order for the Kiwi Chowder. I ordered a Modelo and my mother ordered a glass of orange blend wine. He came over with the drinks a while later and the Kiwi chowder and have us plenty of time to sit and enjoy the dish before we ordered our main courses. The kiwi chowder was delicious and came with little crackers. The clams and mussels were so tasty and the Ora King Salmon was a nice treat. After a while he came back and served me the Fisherman's Mixed Basket and my mother got the Fish tacos with fish of the day for them being Sword Fish. The fisherman's basket was amazing and paired perfectly with my beer. I had never had clams,mussels, snapper, and oysters all together and they were so good I wish I could have them more frequently. The place was very cute and sat quietly with good music playing. Not current music but music that really fit the place and set the vibe. I will be coming back here and if you ever go, there is no bad choice for the fish, the service is stupendous and I haven't gotten anything like it in forever, and if you meet Clark enjoy a friendly conversation with him.

    Absolute pass. Overpriced, meh food, bad service…read more The neighborhood has so much better offerings than this. Gave this place two chances, first time the fried fish was raw, had to send it back. The other dishes were meh. Second time, the waitress had a horrendous attitude, we instead went to Broken Spanish across the street. Also Coni's seafood is great.

    My first time trying Peruvian food and wow!!…read more The Lomo Saltado was so tender and flavorful. The fried fish tacos were perfectly battered and fried, I liked the onions on top as it helps cut through the friedness of it all. Yucca fries were delish, dip it in the green sauce and it's perfection. The ceviche was fresh and bright. Love the citrusy sauce at the bottom, yum! The corn is not like the regular corn we have at the grocery store. It has a bit more bite to it in terms of texture like it's not soft. Passion fruit juice was absolutely needed after all day on the beach. The cake has swirls of dulce de leche, very tasty. I would come back just for the lomo saltado alone! Service was friendly and fast. They have a few tables inside and a few outside. Right on the Venice boardwalk so if you dine outside, you also get a show with your meal.

The location turned out to be El Huarique Peruvian Kitchen! What a delicious find that turns up the flavor and definitely the heat! Be careful what you ask for! Haha! Fish Ceviche | Yes, please! Now, at first bite, for some odd reason, I thought the dish was going to be hot, but it was cold and absolutely delicious! Taking our server Mauricio's advice, I tried each item separately on my plate and then mixed it up... Yummy! New flavors had my taste buds doing a happy dance over and over again! Haha! I would absolutely 100% get this dish again! The flavors were electric once combined! Turn up the Heat | Our server Mauricio asked my spice level and I confidently said spicy! He asked if I was sure and I told him the story about me being in India, requesting a spicier version of a dish & the Chef coming out to take a look at me, because he couldn't believe I wanted spicier! Haha! Comedy Hour | I was enjoying every flavorful bite of the Fish Ceviche, when all of a sudden my body started to heat up! I was like, I can handle a bit of spice... And then suddenly my tongue got really warm and I could hardly feel it... Then my eyes started to water... And suddenly I lost focus in the conversation I was having with my friend & the traveler! I could hardly talk, because it was honestly that spicy! Haha! I bet it was also the sneaky little red onions, in addition to the other spices! Help, Please | I spotted Mauricio and asked him if he had any bread or yogurt, because my mouth was on fire! He didn't! He recommended water, which I had already tried! My friend, she recommended plantains, which I had also tried! The traveler ended up recommending the lettuce on my plate, which ended up helping for sure! After a while, my mouth started to cool down, thank goodness! Eye Spot Spice | Just when my mouth started to cool down, my friend accidentally touched her eye, which must have had spice on it! The girl at the next table, dining with her significant other, immediately came to her rescue! I asked our server Mauricio for a cup of water so she could flush out her eye! The girl at the next table told her to rub her eye with her hair... Which oddly helped! Plantains | I can always appreciate plantains, as I love them! They arrived at our table and quite plentiful! I appreciated that the flavor was just the right amount of sweet and savory... Perfect! As conversation flowed easily between me, my friend, and the traveler! I invited him to enjoy the plantains with us, which he did! Fried Rice | My friend, ordered this dish and invited me to share it with her! OMG! I highly recommend, so flavorful and definitely shareable! I happily enjoyed every bite that I put onto my plate! Customer Service | Mauricio was top-tier! He was patient, kind and so much fun to explore the menu with! He really wanted us to have the Peruvian experience, considering it was both me and my friends first time having Peruvian food... as far as I know! Seating | Both inside and outside! We sat on the outside patio! Happy Meeting | While waiting for my friend to arrive at the restaurant, a friendly worldwide traveler, who was currently in town, helped me with the menu! Though his meal included chicken, a dish he frequently orders when he's in town, he invited me to explore the veggie part of the menu and mentioned that the food was really good here! Something made me trust his recommendation and I'm glad I did! We had fun chatting with the friendly traveler! Overall | Oh my goodness! Hahaha! Between the flavorful Fish Ceviche that was too hot to handle, sweet and savory Plantains, the customer service via Mauricio, an extension of me and my friends spa day, & other friendly customers, made for a memorable evening! I'm excited to do it again, definitely turning down the spice level and exploring more of the menu! Thanks again, Mauricio & the friendly traveler! We shall all meet again! Let's go!!

It's been there for some time, so there's a bit of grime and decay almost everywhere you look. And if it isn't exactly "charming," it's very comfortable and welcoming, with an ocean breeze blowing through the open, upstairs deck, and a friendly staff working hard to keep everyone happy. The upstairs patio area was pretty full when I arrived, but I snagged a seat at the bar and still got to enjoy both the view and the breeze. They have a nice selection of beachy cocktails (the gals next to me were drinking out of fresh-cut coconuts), and a quite a few beers on tap (with plenty of ice cold glasses at the ready). To get things going, I ordered a Don Julio tequila neat, and the pour was generous. I also ordered a Caesar Salad with Blackened Shrimp, which was delivered after only about 5 minutes. Despite the swiftness of the prep, the salad was quite good. Baby Gem lettuce, nicely coated with a creamy-but-not-too-creamy dressing that had a robust, garlicky flavor that was pleasing rather than overpowering. Yes, there were the ubiquitous croutons; but there were also quite a few fried capers, which added an appealing, extra layer to the flavor profile. The Blackened Shrimp that I added were small but plentiful, and very nicely seasoned, providing a solid smack of spice that contrasted well against the dressing. It really was a very good salad. The gals to my right were eating freshly shucked oysters that looked quite good. They must have enjoyed them, because they ordered another dozen. Across from me, a body builder chowed down on a great-looking burger, and everyone at the bar seemed to really be enjoying their food. The servers -- Lily and Arian -- were swift and chatty despite being pretty busy on a Sunday afternoon. This isn't the fanciest place you can eat in the area, but it's certainly one of the friendliest, and definitely one of the most satisfying.

I recently learned that it's under new ownership, with a remodeled shop and an updated menu. As it was my first visit today, this is my perspective. Upon entering, I was greeted warmly and received helpful recommendations. The staff even brought my food and condiments to the table. I tried the London Special ($13.99), which includes two shrimp and two fish and chips - a great way to sample their offerings. When I arrived, there was only one person and one couple dining, but the place quickly filled up. Luckily, I managed to get a table. The friendly staff brought my food, along with five sauces: chili oil, hot sauce, ketchup, vinegar, and tartar sauce. They also provided packets of salt, fitting for the restaurant's name. The food was served piping hot, so be careful! It's fried in a tempura-style batter, which is quite heavy. I found the shrimp to have a small meat-to-batter ratio, but the fish was the star. I recommend drenching your fries in vinegar and dipping the fish in a combination of hot sauce and tartar sauce - it's delicious!

The experience started strong with great customer service; the staff was fast, friendly, and made me feel very welcome as they prepped my take-out order. The atmosphere is a standard, low-end takeout spot reminiscent of a Chinese fast-food joint--not somewhere you'd want to linger, but they offer ample parking and serve the food hot. I ordered the #6 regular combination with three pieces of fish, two shrimp, and chips, which was a generous portion that could easily cover two meals. However, the food itself was unfortunately "mid." While the pieces were large and the crinkle-cut fries were good, the fish and shrimp lacked any real seasoning or distinct flavor--it essentially tasted like "anything fried." It's a great spot for a fast, filling meal, but it didn't quite capture that nostalgic flavor I was chasing.

    We had a great experience and great food at N17 The Lane! I see some recent complaints regarding…read moreservice during the World Cup. It's clear they've put intentional effort into improving this week, as service was a highlight for us. Our waiter, Sunny, was so polite, quick, and communicative. He had a lot of tables to cover, as it was a packed and chaotic room during the Mexico vs. Ecuador game last night. The N17 burger and fries (both the regular shoe string fries and sweet potato fries) were fantastic! Both were cooked just right, very flavorful, and the fries were nice and crispy. The atmosphere and design of the restaurant in front isn't your typical "sports bar" - it feels more like a cute, sunny brunch restaurant with high-quality screens for sports viewing - but the clientele feels just like any other sports bar would :) It was very lively and fun to watch with others last night. For the World Cup, they've opened up their event space in the back which is not set up like a typical restaurant - but it was great for viewing! The screens are HUGE and very high-quality.
