well worth a visit, great value, and friendly, you need to have a good walk after eating, to burn off the food.

This is a tiny little take-out window hidden in the back of the King's Shops in Waikoloa. There is lots of out-door seating available, right on the lake, and the koi swim up hoping you'll feed them. Don't. The fish and chips were very good, and an incredible value, likely the best in the resort. Definitely worth the hunt.

Close to a British chippy. Food was prepared to order and fish was fresh and tasty. It is a pick up and carry-out service only, with public seating overlooking a lake with koi swimming in it.

This was a late evening stop to pick up something quick and good value for my daughters dinner. The take out restaurant is small and it is fun to watch two people move in sync in such a small working environment. The fish and chips were good, my daughter enjoyed them. This was a good place to pick up that... More

When ordering at the window, I looked at the kitchen and YUCK! It looked very dirty. I would rather eat at Three Fat Pigs!

Food is prepared so FAST, we couldn't believe it. The good news is it was really good, too. You have to eat outside and dodge the birds who are very adept at stealing food but the fish was worth that nuisance. Don't look too hard at the kitchen area behind the staff taking your order. It isn't very organized or... More

Fresh catch of the day features with many choices to choose from. Less expensive place to eat and it was GOOD. Outdoor seating next to a large water feature in the Kings Shops. We ate there twice and highly recommend

very tasty food at reasonable prices, especially given the prices of everything else in the surroundings. fish was tasty and fresh. owner/operators (at least that's what I assume they were) were friendly, but busy. this isn't the best food you've ever had, but it's authentic, not pretentious, and fun

We are not fish fans but tried the fish and chips here because of all the good reviews we read. The fish which was ono was very good. The breading was light and the fish didn't taste fishy at all. We will definitely go back again. We also tried the coconut shrimp which we would say was okay but not... More

this is a little hole in the wall located in the back of King's shops. It's a walk up stand with plenty of table and chairs in the area. The fish and chips was fresh and very good for about $ 12.95. It's enough for a lunch or light dinner. The batter on the fish is very light, similar to... More
