Quick info
About James’ Fish Bar
James’ Fish Bar is a Chinese takeaway in Prestatyn, at 95 Victoria Rd, and its menu puts fish & chips and Cantonese dishes side by side. That means one order can draw from both styles without a second stop at another shop. The Cantonese dishes include sweet and sour chicken served with fried rice. From the chip shop side, chips and curry sauce are a simple pairing on the same menu.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split sharply. The fried rice draws the strongest praise, with one long-time holiday visitor calling it the best ever, alongside a wide choice of fish and chips and Cantonese dishes. Others complain that the sweet and sour chicken was chewy, the curry sauce weak, and the salt and pepper chips thinly seasoned. One says the duck's hoisin sauce smelled of vinegar.

“not really sure what happened here but £4.50 for the chips and “gravy” £8.50 for the sausage, “peas” + “gravy”. not sure what is going on with the duck and “hoisin” - sauce smells like vinegar. safe to say it’s all getting binned.”

“maybe its how foods done here but it was not up to standard. My salt and pepper chips were mildly covered in chilli powder - with no veg and real 'natural' flavour. The sweet and sour chicken was an ikea order, I had to put it together …”

“I've loved you guys for but have never refused before. My apologies 😔 Haven't visited because I'm out of the area now in the last 4 years. Your Curry …”

“Disappointed with my meals from this place, ordered beef curry with chips and sweet and sour chicken with fried rice. The curry sauce was very weak and not the usual sauce they put on "chips and curry", this had a taste all of its own. The Beef and the Chicken were very chewy and obviously not the best quality used, chips could have been cooked a little longer. 1/2 of each meal went in the bin (the pics), not what you want when spending £18.”
- Robin Bird
“I've been coming here for years every time when on holiday in Prestatyn. The food is very good indeed. There's plenty of choice whether you eat fish & chips or/and Cantonese. The fried rice is BEST I've ever had anywhere. Locals and visitors use this place so gets busy in half term & weekends. The customer service is friendly and the staff very efficient. This is THE place to go in the area.”
