The traditional chip shop is a fish and chips restaurant on Bondi beach that serves authentic style food very similar to that served at Fish and Chip shops in the UK and Ireland. <br/ <br/ The restaurant is attractively decorated, and has a range of tables and chairs, both inside and outside in a covered patio. The range of menu items is large, going beyond fish to chicken, pies, sausages and a wide range of sauces. <br/ <br/ Service is counter style. it is prompt, friendly and polite. I have visited twice this trip and once before, always around lunchtime. <br/ <br/ I ordered Pie and Chips because I like British/Australian pies more than fish. Both were great. <br/ <br/ This restaurant...
I ended up in this place just by chance but it was one of the greatest fish and ship experiences I have had outside of Borough Market in London. I dare say that Bondi was better because of the OUT OF THIS WORLD cheese sauce. Honestly if Bondi was the same distance to me as NY city I would have gone there twice annually just for the fish and chips and the shrimp and chips. As a tourist I didn't find the price to be high and I liked the funk rock star attitude of the women that served my wife and I. Place was a 10 on that Sunday evening last November PRO TIP: Once its all digested head straight for the Icebergs...pay the nominal access fee and and just relax after a good meal against a great b...
Should read reviews before eating. I was curious about the place when the work colleagues from Great Britain go, which use the Erie fish and chip shops frozen chips in the U.K. They use hand cut fresh chips. Ordered cod and chips. Fish was Fad and chips were fine, but nothing to write home. What had shocked me was that the vinegar was heavily diluted on the table and boasting the salt in the shaker and proximately impossible to go out. When I opened it, I discovered that they had mixed it with uncooked rice from a strange ground. Never again, give me a Australian fish and chip shop every day about this ****.
I would never come here again, terrible food and service. I've ordered grilled fish and cheesy fries, the fish came without lemon, the chips were homemade, whatever is beautiful, but they were muddy, and as they frying in Sydney cheese fries, they expect the cheese to melted, it is Not. It is only sprayed, crushed cheese. I went about the cheese to be melted again and then, when it was done, the waitress looked ins disgusted to me and made a comment then in return I said, yes, that makes more sense and she has very defensive and said in a disgusted tone " excuse me".

We went in because the shop sign says it is authentic. It may be authentic UK fish and chips flavour but I have to say this is not something I like. Chips are worse than the ones I can buy from supermarket. For there is only one piece of fish served and loads of chips. The cheesy chips was served with unmelted cheese. When we went to the counter and ask if we could have it heated so the cheese can melt, was told this is how it’s meant to be. If you want lemon with your fish and chips, you will also need to ask the staff. Way overpriced and very rude staff.
Lovely small fish and chips shop along the main beach strip at Bondi. Service was friendly and the store looked clean and modern. There is a few tables and benches for seating but why not enjoy your meal across the road so you can take one of Australias most iconic beaches. Oh I should mentioned the food which I rated high but the prices were a bit higher (just under $20 fish) than what I usual get fish for but this I would say is because you are paying for much higher quality produce.
Soggy chips says everything. Grief

Fish did not come with lemon. Barely traditional. Not even confusion in tomato sauce can save it.

I would not recommend this place. Try the other two a few a few shops on both sides.
I have been waiting to eat fish and chips all week while I am in Sydney and I see this shop everyday as we walk to the train station.

The Traditional Chip shop is good old fashioned fish and chips served in a very British and Irish way.
More appropriately it should be named "Greasy Traditional Chip Slop".
