About So's Fish & Chips
Two counters in one, So's Fish & Chips on Swanside Parade in Liverpool works as both a Chinese takeaway and a chip shop, covering the L14 area. The menu runs to 103 dishes, with five versions of spare ribs including Salt & Pepper, King Do and Honey, plus Sesame Seeds Prawn On Toast, chow mein with egg or rice noodles, salt and pepper chicken, crispy chilli beef and soups. Chip-shop sides sit alongside, from chips with curry sauce to chips with onion gravy, and the chips are cooked fresh to order. Portions are large, with a single order often enough for two. Payment is cash only. It runs on walk-ins, with names written down at the counter, and orders are also taken over the phone. Queues form out of the door around weekend teatime and orders can take a while. The shop opens Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays.

“Lovely staff bur had to mark down as awful quality food. Watered down sauce, no vegetables like others , and overpriced . Anyone in L14 go to dovecot Chinese, ,proper food. Sos is a joke”
- Charlotte Roberts
“I’m in love with this chippy. It’s my fave and my go too whenever I don’t know what to have. The food is lovely. I go for the usual (S+P chicken and chips with curry) and I honestly have not found anywhere that does it better than here. Also the chicken noodle soup (my fave) is amazing. The ribs are also lovely. Absolutely love the food from here.”

Customer Review Summary
The complaints carry real weight, though, and centre on service. Several reviewers describe rude staff and a manager with a bad attitude. One says a £3 change dispute ended with staff checking CCTV rather than accepting the customer's account. Another reports waits over half an hour, a wrongly written name, and orders messed up more than once. A diner with an egg intolerance received egg noodles after asking for rice noodles on a chow mein. Others describe stale fish and chips, a grey, old crispy chilli beef, and a special chow mein with no taste. One reviewer notes the shop does not take cards, and a few call the prices high.
