M A Fish Bar in Cardiff

Got the large cod box and swapped mushy peas for curry sauce. So tasty and very good portion sizes for a tenner

Time for another review, why??? As before I have been coming here for years In light of the recent news reports on raising prices, I decided to go all out on a large Cod and chips. I have to say the fish was cooked to perfection and the portion was above excellent (I actually left some chips)!!! Excellent all round and great staff. Thanks SteveO 😊

I have not had my order delivered, I have been sitting in my front garden for over an hour and no food as arrived

What an absolute great find, just had beef vindaloo and chips. This is a real fish and chip shop with Indian takeaway aswell. The food is cooked fresh. Best chip shop curry I've ever had. 😋. I will be back for more

always good food, large portions at a reasonable price

Food is amazing and fresh even with the distance apart, very much enjoyed!

Late cold and missing items a wrong meals a not help full at all when contacted!! Told to contact just eat!! Wouldn’t recommend!!!

Quiet time chicken was left in too long and burnt patch on there. Chips and curry lovely

Good service staff is very helpful.

Food ok but a bit expensive for a chip shop. Good staff friendly

St. David's Centre empty no atmosphere and the people will not very friendly at all customer service not good

Friendly staff and great scran👍

Tried the rest, but this is the best in Cardiff by a country mile for Fish & Chips. The most obvious giveaway is the amount of public servants who use this establishment - they have very discerning tastes - it's almost like a Michelin star for chippies.

I felt an edited review was needed . I used to come here a lit . Last but 1 visit put me off given how dreadful the chips were .so left it a long time . I thought id try again as they used to be fab.. I had charges pie and chips . Chips again were so so ..pie was awful ..I'm sure it was a week old ir more ..pastry wasn't great and meat inside was clumped . Clarks oies are juicy lots of meat n sauce ..sorry but I won't be using these no more ..gone massively downhill

Exquisite fish and the chips crispy and really nice 👍👍 go here

I had a chicken kebab from m.a fish bar the chicken was absolutely packed with Salt. I went back to speak about it I was tolded if you don't like it then don't bother coming back again. I was really embarrassed and felt intimidated as there was 4 members of staff. I would of been happy with a sorry and a different type of food.

Great restaurant Great employees and staff and the food is just mouth watering 😋

This place has really gone down this time will not be going again, after 20 years

Best place in cardiff by far recommend going there

Came from Birmingham to pick up a car in Cardiff, looked on Google for a good chip shop and we chose M.A. Fish and Chips as it had a 4.6 rating on Google with a 197 reviews. We ordered the Cheese Burger Meals for £6.50 each which is a couple of quid more than Birmingham prices for processed cheeseburger meals. To my amazement the cheeseburger patties were thrown into the fryer along with the chips. The cheeseburger was rock solid with a biscuity crunch. It was absolutely vile, how can you fry a cheeseburger patty, on top of that it was the cheapest cheeseburger patty you can buy from the cash and carry as it was super thin. Only saving grace was the chips which were very nice. I would have given 1 star overall but they are getting 2 stars because of the chips. The old guy behind the counter with a white beard was a bit rude when we asked for tissues he replied “do you want everything”. People in Cardiff need to get out and about and eat, before giving charlatans like M.A. a 4.6 score! This guy would be shut within 3 months in Birmingham and he wouldn’t even warrant 2/5 rating!

Large fish seems to have accumulated more batter than fish recently. We paid for large cod not large batter. Shame!

I travel from port talbot just for their grub!

I’m not a chip shop kind of person but I had this place a couple of months ago just because I was passing and OMG !! The food is 10/10 the staff are fabulous and so friendly ,unfortunately they don’t deliver to my area if they did I’d be there best customer haha anyway back to the point I have just finished eating my food and I was honestly wishing it wouldn’t come to an end 10/10 again thank you guys soo sooo much please consider delivery to my area I’ll even pay extra !! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you for a lovely meal see you soon x

I like this once in a while. A touch pricey but always hot and nice

Great food. 5*. Quick delivery.

Best fish and chips you'll ever have

Absolutely gorgeous. The fish from here was the best...

Had fish and chips absolutely delicious would definitely come back again

Lovely food, had there madras curry sauce , , proper good 👍

Best fish & chips in the whole of Cardiff & Vale

Fish cooked fresh you have to wait but its worth it

We Had a lovely piece of cod lovely and hot batter was gorgeous will definitely go here again

Live in fairwater often come here (grangetown ) for fish and chips well priced freshly cooked and plenty for price

Lovely fish and chips, fish was slightly on the greasy side but tasty.

Extremely disappointed with order placed. Ordered 2 x chicken curry, chips and rice. Only 1 arrived with curry. Also ordered small portion of chips which arrived in the same small size polystyrene container as the chicken curry, rice and chips but was only half full. Ended up having to make sandwiches as we were still hungry. Would NOT recommend and will NOT order from here again. Only positive out of the whole experience was a really pleasant and friendly Uber delivery guy.

Great chippie. Best fisf and chops in Cardiff.

Great fish and chips, possibly the best chip shop in Cardiff. Reminds me of how the FAB fish bar on Albany Road used to be. Staff friendly, I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Amazing food, very big portions. Great value for money 💰

Really friendly staff and great food at a great price. Easily one of the best fish and chip shops in Cardiff.

Batter on the fish was a bit burnt

The chicken was juicy and well fried. The chips....yummy

Food was outstanding and plenty, couldn't eat it all

Great service, friendly staff, value for money, lots to choose from their menu and the food is lush + the food portions (especially the chips) are huge. My new go to takeaway, I highly recommend 😚👌

Best fish shop ever alway go there even when I was a kid

I was just walking past this place and thought 'yum, I really fancy fish, chips and peas in a box' and it absolutely DELICIOUS! It was a bit of a wait for the fish but it was absolutely LOVELY when it finally arrived. The best thing though was the staff. They were absolutely lovely, friendly and helpful and don't tell anyone but I'd already finished my lovely fish and chips by the time I'd got back to Barry! Yum!

Top Quality Fish and Chips. Curry Sauce is divine. Staff are friendly, best chippy in Cardiff.

Our chippie of choice in Cardiff. Tasty chips, good range of fish, sausages, chicken etc too. Friendly staff and Covid safe. They also deliver direct from their website, minimum order is £10 plus a delivery charge, but worth it if you don't fancy going out, always arrive hot and ready to eat 😀

Food was cold by the time it came. Forgot items from order. Fish was dry. Wouldn’t recommend.

Great crispy yummy chips. Chicken curry off the bone best I've tasted

Great fish n chip shop, great service, contactless payments available, parking available

I would of given a 5 star there was just one let down food was amazing I ordered with Clacton eats came early nice friendly polite driver the ribs were all oil everywhere need to to make an improvement on the ribs but everything elce I loved cod was a brilliant size for 5.50

Best Chippy in Grangetown. Batter on Fish is excellent and curry sauce is amazing.

really lovely owner. nice food too x

The best chippy in Cardiff,they does the best fish than anywhere I've been to.

Lovely fish n chips. Good service

Best Fish, Chips & Curry sauce in Cardiff.

Nice friendly service lovely chips and fish

The most amazing chippy around.

Amazing. Certainly up there with the best of Cardiff chippys

As a chef I very rarely cook at home. The cod in batter is one of the best I have ever had. And the curries are outstanding. This place is an institution.

Chips are good, good size portion but the pasty was like a brick

Chicken curry was OK! but my wife's fish cake and chips wasn't good. The quest for the ultimate chippy continues.

Outstanding chippy great batter on there fish and fritters friendly staff

Best chippie this end of grangetown!

On a good day these fish and chips are just the best in Cardiff

Amazing chips and fantastic staff. Would highly recommend a visit!

Best fish and chips in grangetown, can't compare their food.

The best fish and chips in Cardiff! Best with curry sauce. Loved it.

Fabulous fish and chip shop, highly recommended

Office favourite Saturday is chip day

I've been here many times over the past four to five years and it has always been great. Friendly service, fair prices but most of all good tasting food. Never had any issues here and even now I've moved house I still drive to come here.

lovely grub much better than the other chipshop on virgil street

Some chips were undercooked,apart from that food was alright.

Really nice and fantastic staff

Massive portions good quality food

Good chips but overcooked / burnt batter on cod. Oil needs a change? Changed from 2 to 1 star after dodgy stomach.

What a lovely place! Popped in as I'd walked from gabalfa to Grange town, was starving and had £1.22 left on me. I bought a jumbo sausage for £1.20 and they kindly added a few chips 😁 you don't see service like that in many takeaways these day! Awesome stuff x

Good portions, service with a smile

Great food , try chicken curry off the bone ,rice and chios and curry sauce ,,,,was so yummy u got to try it 😁

Great fish and chips/ chicken/Currys

Fantastic food with great service ,they provided for our fish and chips reception at our wedding everybody was over the moon with the food 😃

Love the chips they're the best.

The best chippie in all of Cardiff. Been coming here for years and always the same consistent top quality.

Great fresh food and fast service.

Always get excellent service and look after their regular customers well done guys please keep up the service

Best chippy in Cardiff without a doubt and my kids love it always serve excellent food with absolutely great service u musssst try

Excellent food from here best chips in the area and reasonable prices

Banging best fish shop in Cardiff 💯

Undoubtedly the best chicken and chips and curry sauce in Cardiff. The guys who work here are really friendly and helpful. As soon as I enter this shop, they read out my order before I actually open my mouth. Occasionally they give me a free potato fritter while I wait for my deep fried chicken breast to be cooked. The chips are the best I've tasted and the curry sauce is a kind of tomato looking sauce. Absolutely delicious! This place must be checked out, it has an extensive menu with hot madras and vindaloos amongst a lot of other food. I don't even need to tell them how much salt I want over my chicken and chips. LOTS!!! I travel from Victoria park area to go here, there's nowhere else as far as I'm concerned that will beat it for taste, value for money and generous portions. Keep up the good service lads.

Excellent customer service, clean chip shop and the food is always top quality!

By far the best fish and chip shop in Wales! Can't go wrong with fish and chips with a carton of curry sauce. Always cooked fresh and to perfection, staff are also friendly and welcoming. Served in paper the traditional way. If you haven't visited you are missing out! Highly recommended
