Review John Dory's Takeaways - Auckland Central

Charles Nelson
Hands down the best fish and chips in Auckland. Fresh fish, crispy batter and delicious coleslaw. Amazing!

Delivered fast. Delicious fish, chips, chicken burger and hot dog to share between two people. Seating available to enjoy beautiful sunset and sneaky view of the sea past Sentinel Road. Been here before and will definitely come back again. Grateful they close at 8.30pm.

We wated to eat something quick and also wanted to try the famous local fish and chips. All I can say is that the lady served us pretty quickly and the portion was big and it was delicious!

Kasun Palihena
They have quite a range of cuisines to select from.. the prices are more than reasonable! Roadside Parking.. Their fish and chips are quite the feast!!
Judy Chang
Delicious fish and chips, generous portions and good prices. Great that we could also have sashimi!
Kylie McIntyre
Busy place! Super fresh tasty fish. Great value for money. Fish chips and coleslaw for $10, hotdog $3.50
Ian Li
Unassuming place which served some surprisingly good food. Particularly liked the fish and chips and white vinegar was provided with was a nice touch.
Donza Jane
Yummy food. I had their fish box deal. The salad, chips and fish were yum. The fish not heavily battered. A bonus for me is as I have a shellfish allergy it is difficult to find a place which agreed to not use the same oil as shellfish. It obviously worked because I am alive. Thanks guys :)
Leonhart Hunt
Really great value and quality, I recommend chips with snapper crumbled! (I also got mixed salad and aoli sauce)
Tiffany Miller
Really nice fish and chips with big thick chips. Prices for food is expensive unless you get a combo and then it is an okay price. The sushi was not good but it could of been because we came later in the day. Staff polite but not very welcoming or friendly and it was empty when we came. Only fish in chip place in the area through so that's what you get. Would come again to get food in in area.

Was craving fish and chips on a Sunday night. John Dory had a good combo deal for $11, and $12.50 for Tarakihi. The service was great, we weren't kept waiting around for too long before we were served a good portion size of delicious fresh fish and chips. The salad that came with it was a bonus too! Thank you for satisfying our cravings. Will have to return again soon!
David Cranston
Beautiful chips and fish for takeaways, absolutely 5 star plus,,,will be back asap. Highly recommend to all of NZs
Nephi Hatcher
Great veggie burger, awesome value and largest serving experienced in Auckland so far. Great Chinese salad dressing too. Make sure you get your order in at least 20 minutes before they close, sometimes longer on busy nights. Won't take orders up until close.

We came all the way from the north shore to try this place and it did not disappoint! Hands down the best fish and chips we have had and the beef burger was insanely good. Fresh crispy fish, amazing fries and the best home made tartare sauce ever. Would recommend this place to everyone and will 100% be returning.

We dined here on a friday night after work and while the food was delicious the service was rude.<br/><br/>We ordered and decided to dine in sitting outside, we asked for our table to be clean as it was filthy so the server came out and wiped up. <br/><br/>While other diners left and had their tables cleared of rubbish we were still eating not realising the time being 8.45.<br/><br/>Instead of coming out and politely letting us know it was closing time the just turned off the lights and started moving in furniture.<br/><br/>So we started clearing up and getting ready to go when the man literally just picked up the other chairs as soon as we stood up.<br/><br/>So we tried to clear up and asked if we could put our rubbish from the food we ate in their bins.<br/><br/>The guy owner looks at us like were were stupid and says " We are a takeaway not a rubbish dump " we tried to ask again saying "but we ate from here"<br/><br/>He then proceeded to say it again and then told us to take the rubbish with us and find the public bins.<br/><br/>No one else was treated like this, I did realise however we were the only brown people in the place in an area where I dont see many people our colour.<br/><br/>The whole experience made us feel disgusted and like we were trash.<br/><br/>I will never ever come back here after feeling like this.
Chace Kim
Awesome place to grab a quick bite. No doubt
Brad Vidovich
Expensive and i asked no salt on chips they put salt on dont understand properlly
Bob De Soto
Definitely the best chip around the area! Have been going here for years now and always consistent. Cheap sushi during the day and good value tasty chips cooked in rice bran, hard to find these days!
Gwen Tai
$10 fish & chips special with their yummy coleslaw is a must have! Affordable and fish is fresh, chips are nice and crispy too.<br/>Other options are a bit pricey but this special wont disappoint you, you get a good amount of chips and also 2 pieces of fish 😊
Steve Nicholas
Our regular go to outlet for crumbed fish nd chips served at the outside table!!! Fish - is always fresh nd well cooked, chips crisp nd hot... yummy.<br/>Great location on Jervois road close to the action. .
Fraser Lewis-Smith And Alana Ah Tani
$10 Fish n Chips n Salad combo; fish is tarakihi which is a good upgrade from hoki. The donburi bowls are also very big for such a good price, the salmon taste more fresh in the donburi than it does from the cabinet sushi. Wait time can be long in busy hours, and the service there is always great.
Mark Stephens
Good, honest fish & chips on Jervois road. Never takes too long with very friendly service!<br/><br/>My favourite is crumbed snapper with kumera fries 😋
Lyn Sharpe
very stingy quantity of fish in the fish salad, which they dowse in cucumber and onion. Service at this outlet is politely fake or hostile indifference. The salad greens inside the burgers are poor quality old lettuce browning at the edges
ShloShippa
Ordered crumbed Tarakihi, and chips. Fish was very crispy and unbelievably fresh. Chips were custom cut and still warm when taken home and enjoyed. The meal also included complementary Tartar sauce which was a nice touch. Only complaint was the lady on the phone when ordering said the meal would take only 30 minutes and ended up 50. That was fine though as it was a Friday evening. Will be recommending and returning.

I mainly come here for the burgers. These guys make very very solid burgers. Probably Burger Fuel size. Most recently had a steak burger. I was afraid the steak would be too tough for a burger, but I was not disappointed. It wasn't too tough. Though there may have been a bit too much BBQ sauce slapped on.<br/>Will be coming back here for many many more burgers!<br/>Keep up the good work John Dory.<br/><br/>UPDATE.<br/>Just had the chicken burger. It was faaaan-tastic!

I love the fish and chips here!!!!!! It's the best I have had! I always go there but sadly their opening time so weird like different time in week days.....
Sheryl Glasse
Phoned for my order as I was busy working.  When I arrived they had given it to someone else ! grr.  However they quickly made my dinner and gave it to me on the house.  They even came up the street to deliver it to me.<br/><br/>Wonderful reprieve and great fish and chips and will go back again.
Emma Craig
Being a local in Herne Bay, I visit John dory’s regularly.<br/>I normally get crumbed snapper and chips. It is SUPERB! crispy and well drained. The fish burgers are divine too. Nice friendly service and love the short wait on the phone orders. Highly recommend !!
Pandey Panderson
Such great potential, but let down majorly with the mussels. I ordered 1 chips, 1 spring roll, and 5 mussels. The chips were great, best I've had in a while. The spring roll was good value &amp; tasty. But unfortunately, the mussels (of which I paid for 5 &amp; received 5) were TERRIBLE!! They were absolutely tasteless, &amp; 2 of them were tiny (slightly bigger than a $2 coin). Possibly the worst mussels I've ever eaten. Not what I would expect at all from a place that claims to have "the best seafood with fresh fish delivered daily"... I phoned the shop soon after &amp; told them the situation, &amp; all they offered me was an apology, no promise of action to rectify the situation; poor customer service to top it all off. I will not be returning.
Sarah
Divine fish and chips. Clean store and friendly staff. The fish was also really fresh :) Not overly greasy like other fish and chip places. Would have preferred to have given 4 and a half stars if had been possible only wish they sold john dory, otherwise excellent Quality and Recommended!
Timothy Giles
Living nearby I collect bread-crumbed fish twice a week, always fresh and tasty.
Robert Stevens
Worst fish and chips ever. Greasy, soggy and tasteless. Avoid at all costs! We will never visit this place again. It is the kind of place that even a call to explain how bad the meal is, is met with complete disinterest - so much for satisfying customers. Left with a vile, greasy taste after the experience.
Murdoch Tarquin
These guys are generally pretty good. Reasonably consistent. Fish always fresh. Chips can be overcooked at times. I recommend this place.
Dave Lee
Nice clean place &amp; good fish - Snapper, Terkihi, etc.<br/><br/>But much to my disappointment John Dory does not sell John Dory.
Kelly Waaka
Best chippie in Auckland! Shop is lovely and clean and the service quick and friendly AAA++++!!!
Kay Baker
Just recently had a fleeting trip back to Auckland and fancied some schnapper! We were staying in Herne Bay and purchased cooked oysters, mussels,schnapper and chips from John Dorys. The shop was very clean and the food and service excellent.<br/>Would definitely recommend!
Priya
This was a fluke that turned out to be such a pleasant gift for a scrumptious, delishhhhhhh burger in the city! I haven't had such an amazing fish burger ANYWHERE...worth every cent, every minute of the wait :) Great size, well made for a burger (in terms of how the lettuce etc was placed too), well packed...even the fries felt healthy- probably coz of how well they were wrapped and ridden of excess oil. With eventual popularity, I hope the quality of their food NEVER transforms into that of any regular burger place.
Tom
My wife and I stopped here for tea and order from the menu fish and chips we were so pleasantly surprise the quality and flavor of the food , we suggest you go here some time soon.
Karen
We were there on a very busy night, things smelled so good, ordered fish and chips with a salad, it was well worth the wait and breaking my diet, I would go back here time and time again.Thank you for a absolutely wonderful meal and service with a smile.
