A Truly Disappointing Dining Experience
My recent visit was profoundly disappointing. From the moment we arrived, the experience was marred by a lack of attention to detail and basic cleanliness. The floors and tables were sticky and oily, immediately creating an unappetizing atmosphere.
Unfortunately, the food failed to redeem the experience. The presentation was haphazard and uninspired. More critically, the dishes themselves were poorly executed. The food was excessively salty, burnt in places, and swimming in oil – you only need to look at the plate to see how oily the food was. I only managed to eat the scrambled egg; the rest was thrown away. The overwhelming greasiness left an unpleasant aftertaste and a lingering feeling of discomfort.
Overall, I cannot recommend this establishment. The combination of poor hygiene and substandard food quality renders it a place to avoid. I hope management addresses these serious issues to improve the dining experience for future patrons.

DISCLAIMER: I’m a big fan of LJS and I will always order from them, whether for delivery or dine-in. However, tonight’s supper was far from superb.
Firstly, the Alaska fish was SUPER SALTY. It was as if they rubbed 10 tablespoons of salt all over the fish batter before packing it for delivery. I didn’t take a picture because, obviously, I can’t capture the taste of salty fish.
Secondly, the lid on my drinks cup was loose. The drinks spilled, as attached. With the ice and spilled drinks, my own portion inside the cup was super small.
Thirdly, I ordered clam chowder but it tasted so fishy, especially the clam. I didn’t eat most of it, only the potato chunks. Even though the name is Clam chowder...
Lastly, I paid $3.50 for rice, but the picture looked big, like a standard rice bowl portion. What came was rice served in a COLESLAW bowl size; which is extremely small and left me unsatisfied.
All in all, salty fish, spilled drinks, a fishy clam taste, and a small rice portion really didn’t make me feel like my $20 was worth this meal.

I've made several takeaway orders, and the more I asked for extra crumbs, the less the staff seemed to put in. I don't understand their attitude or their understanding of 'extra crumbs'. In fact, I don't mind paying extra for it, but all five sets of my orders ended up with no crumbs at all.

I came here expecting fast food but ended up waiting 20 minutes. My drink was left out on the counter for the entire 20 minutes while they prepared the food. By the time I received it, my drink was diluted. It was very disappointing, and the whole place was so dirty. I won't be returning.

The standard has dropped a lot compared to when they were in the late 80s. The fish batter is not fully cooked, with the inside batter still moist, and the shrimp is not as crunchy as before. Worst of all is the coleslaw, with a total change of recipe, making it not appetizing at all.

Spacious and comfortable. Food-wise, it's the same as other branches. I had the Rock Fish and Chicken and enjoyed them.
