We really enjoyed the North Sea Fish restaurant. You can have your fish grilled or fried, and the chips are great!! I wish I could have fit in dessert, as the portions are huge and the service is really friendly.

North Sea is one of our favourite fish restaurants. Two of us had fish fried in batter whilst my wife had 1/2 a halibut and I had haddock fried in matzo meal. We all agreed that the fish was cooked to perfection. Remember to ask for the chips to be cooked more than normal otherwise they are a little soggy. But, as usual, a great meal in this very popular restaurant.

Excellent repas - produits de qualité, cuisiné par la maison, en ce compris la sauce tartare accompagnant le poison et le tiramisu. Le service pourrait être un peu plus avenant dans le chef de certaines personnes.

It is difficult to write about this restaurant without repeating myself: I don't live in London but do eat lunch at North Sea Fish Restaurant perhaps five or six times a year. The high standard of the food and its presentation, and the friendly ambience of the dining room, are consistently maintained. It is a pleasure to eat there and to take friends knowing its total reliability to provide good meals at reasonable prices.

This restaurant excells at fish. We always order the grilled Dover Sole. It is cooked well, served hot with fresh lemon and it is worth the journey. Bottomless fries is just a bonus

Very well cooked fish and plenty of variety. Matzo batter is a good option. But, like a lot of places, it would be better if they didn't play music.

The food was excellent. The service was terrible. We waited half-an-hour to even place our order, and only then because we had to catch the eye of a waitress. Then it was a lengthy wait for the starters to arrive. When the mains came we were given no cutlery and had to wait for a waitress to send someone else to get it for us. No one even asked if we wanted a dessert, so I never even saw the dessert menu. However, all three of us decided to have a glass of port. After a time, the waitress came back and said they had no port, so we opted for dry sherry, which in my mind is an aperitif, NOT an after dinner drink. We had no water on the table, although we asked for it when we placed our initial order, so we asked again and had water with our sherry! The restaurant was full when we arrived, but there seemed to be no organisation for who was waiting each table, as we were just dealing with whoever's eye we could catch. The food was terrific, however.

The fish was, as usual, excellent. One slight frustration: we booked a table online (via Quandoo), and the earliest midday time available was 14:15; but the kitchens are scheduled to close at 14:30, so some options (pies, specifically, other than the [excellent] smoked haddock fish pie) were no longer available. So be aware that after the lunch hour rush is over, the time is limited.

Very good fish, had the halibut, perfectly grilled. It took a while to serve it but was told it is because it is being grilled fresh: can’t really complain, it was worth the wait!

Myself and work colleagues often visit here before a nightshift. Service and food is impeccable. Always very fresh fish and the refil chips is a fantastic touch even though the fish is more than enough to fill you up

It's delicious, fresh, elnough quantity and affordable. The restaurant is clean and have enough space and the stuff are friendly and their service are quickly. Nothing to say fish and chips are delicious but sauteed and grilled finish are also delicious. The appetizers are delicious, too. Sometimes, it's crowded. I have gone to several times this restaurant, I think that not only tourists but also a lot of the traditional locals go to this restaurant.

North Sea Restaurant's usual high culinary standards maintained; friendly and efficient staff; pleasant atmosphere - indeed ideal for the working lunch I had there on Thursday. If I lived in London I would eat much more frequently at this restaurant.
