Recently visited this establishment after quite a period of time. Pleased to say it’s still quality fish and chips. First came here in 1977 as an 11 year old schoolboy and delighted to say still the very same high standards.

Under cooked, under sized and over priced! Really poor food. Fish batter soft, chips under cooked. By far the worst fish and chips I’ve had in a long time.

I always thought that a potato was a potato and a chip was a chip , well not if it’s from this fantastic fish and chip shop . Why waiting to collect an item I purchased on marketplace place , myself and my workmate took a detour to get a quick something to eat , look I said “ there’s a chippy over there “ . Ok it might have only been a couple of bags of chips that I ordered but wow , I have never tasted better chips in my life , my workmate was of the same opinion. Usually when I have eaten a portion of chips I feel bloated and get a unpleasant aftertaste of fat/ oil , not here the chips were cooked perfectly and tasted absolutely sublime. Nice size portions , great friendly service , definitely be back to try a nice bit of rock eel and cod next time. Seems crazy getting excited over a bag of chips but believe me , they were out of this world.

Ate in there tonight, food was ok. Service was absolutely terrible. Was totally rude. Asked to sit down and they huffed and puffed. Will not be eating in there again.

Sadly disappointed. Although the cod was ok, it was fairly small and at £8+ I thought expensive. What really spoilt it for me however was the 'saveloy'. Which was dried and hard. Saveloy's are soft sausages and that had either been cooked incorrectly or was from last week. Either way, despite recommending them to someone last week who said the fish was awful there, I won't be going back again.

Ordered fish and chips from them and asked if the chips Could be put back in fryer as I like them a little crispy, The answer was NO it’s not necessary and we have the best chips around!! And this was said quite arrogantly and hostile!! It may just be a snack bar and not a restaurant but I think it’s important to listen to the wishes of a customer. It wasn’t busy and there were 4 people working. After tasting the chips and fish I was really unimpressed with the quality, soggy and hard chips, no colour and fish not hot , just warm and batter not how I remembered it. The quality of the food and customer service is shocking.

The large cod was sliced thinly so only batter could be tasted. Poor value. The price increase came first which is my choice to pay it or not but I have no control over fish being sliced.

Ordered a large fish and chips, with a minimum wait particularly on Good Friday. The staff were friendly and kept all orders moving while preparing 2-3 orders in advance so the food remained hot. This is the first time we've had fish & chips from The Golden Fish Bar but we're eager to return and try some other options.

Great food, Saveloy is genuinely the best I’ve eaten, strong flavour and has that strong crack of the skin when you bite into it. Chips are great too, very rarely have any ‘toenail clipping’ type chips. Staff inside are always welcoming upon arrival and having a contactless reader is perfectly convenient for a quick transaction. 5 stars all day long.

This restaurant's biggest plus point is quality of the fish, we had Rock eel and skate, both brilliant quality ingredients well cooked. Also with these type of fish, as they are not UBER popular you have to find a shop that cares about FRESH ingredients, these guys clearly do. Biggest issue is parking TBH, the food is good. The staff dont really try and welcome you, they are "all business".......which is fine for a take away TBH.

Food is really good not greasy and you have the option of table service or takeaway. There is also a kids menu and if dining in ice cream for the kids and a few deserts for the adults. There is a parking bay near the restaurant but make sure you pay for parking as there are often wardens around, parking charges cease at 6.30pm. The only real downside is it is quite expensive ie 2 x med cod and chips plus soft drinks came to almost £20 so of you are on a budget that's something to consider. Staff are really friendly and service is good. The price stops me going as much but it does help my waistline!

I love the Cod n Chips from here, always freshly cooked and cod is so big it hangs off the plate. However this Monday I went there and for the first time ever it was poor quality. The chips were vile, looked shriveled and reheated and had a burnt taste to them. The fish was large but bland and not up to asual standard. I ate it all as it was my only meal for the day after 12 hrs shift. I will return and treat this as a one off as I'm always impressed with their Cod n Chips. Maybe Mondays is not a good day there for eating or the cook was different, I don't really know. The service there was still great.

Just bought mine and my sons dinner, 5 stars everytime. Have been eating here since I can remember. I remember my mum getting it for me as a treat every other week growing up. Since about 5. Then as I grew older I went to school across the road, and would sit in there lunch times. I remember them being 30p per portion. Or an extra 5p for a roll as well, lol. We used to sneak in a pot of curry sauce from next door which. Now they do it themselves although never tried it, as I still love the curry sauce next door. I am coming up to my 40s soon but this is and will always be my favourite chippy. All the staff are great and friendly. I live in Rainham now but my son always says whenever we have chips it's golden fish. Fully recommend to everyone. A++++++++++

We visit once a year when we are in the area and are never disappointed.This is clearly not 'fine dining', but it is what you would hope a fish and chip shop would be.I think that for the best experience, you should eat at one of the tables in the shop, that way you will get the food at it's very freshest, but if you want to take it away, wrapped in paper you will still have great fish and chips.I like the fact that the tables are formica with vinyl bench seats carefully fitted behind a screen in the shop. Like the food, its not trying to be something it's not.What you will get is fresh, well cooked fish and chips and fast friendly service.(The parking outside is free for the first 30 mins, but you have to display a ticket from the machine.)

Shamefully this is the best Fish and Chips shop in DagenhamStingy on the chips and at least half of them had black and green bits. And the fish (cod) has bones. They do advise with a sign in the shop about this but I've never had cod from a fish shop that has not been filleted. They state on social media that if you ask they will cook a bit especially for you that has no bones. Personally think it should be standard.What with the stingy chip portions that are not great quality, the choice of either a. play Russian roulette with fish bones or b. hang about in a tiny little waiting area for cod without the 'excitement' ... We have stopped going We have been to the one on Church Elm lane that is better but still not great. Seems decent fish and chips is a thing of the past here. Poppies in Spitalfields is lovely but a bit of a trek for fish and chips lol

If you want the added ingredient of hair in your food, then this is the place for you. I've been here twice and always found hairs in my food and it always seems to be in the baked beans. No idea what they're getting up to there.
