I have found my Tacoma go to fish and chip shop.

You'd think good fish and chips would be easy to find in a city almost surrounded by water, you would be wrong.

I had the catfish and chips which was perfect. Fresh, generous sized pieces of fish, not soggy which is how they need to be with fries which were crispy without being overdone.

Both the cook and the woman on the till were both really pleasant, listening to my questions and suggesting what to get. They also put in a hush puppy for me to try as I asked about them.

After I finished the woman also came out to ask what I thought about the meal, which was a nice touch.
I will be back.

Fish is very good flaky and layered amazing texture.

Diner Review №3

Phenomenal! So flavorful and gorgeously presented, piping hot flakey delicious fish & chips. Loved the chowder and slaw too. Five star service! Can’t wait to come back!

Diner Review №4

Close to the Tacoma Dome. Walked over during State Wrestling and was very happy that we did. Great food and service.

Diner Review №5

Great spot for a quick pickup. I was VERY happy with portion sizes and freshness. Employees had smiles on their faces, which means a lot these days. I will certainly be back for more!

Diner Review №6

I'm dog and house sitting in Seattle and came down to the Tacoma/Pierce Transit Bus Shop (across the street from Tacoma Dome Amtrak Center) to get a senior reduced fare Orca Card. The Tacoma Dome Amtrak Station is inside the freight house along with a food court and small businesses. We'll, I found a gem here. It's called PAYA THAI FISH AND CHIPS. Their signatures dishes are the Clam Chowder and Cod fish and chips. These are made fresh daily. If you are a restaurant ambience snob, this place is not for you. If you like real fresh cod fish and chips and great clam chowder, I think you'll really enjoy it. The clam chowder is as good or better than the best I've ever had. It's apparently made with no dairy, which is hard to believe because it's so tasty. The cod fish is fresh, flaky and moist - not fishy or oily. So good. I had the combo cod fish and chips dinner which came with fries (excellent - not dry, not oily, and golden brown) and Coleslaw (very tasty, not to much sauce). The only thing i didn't enjoy too much was the starter sauce - it was okay but nothing special..don't let that turn you off, they have other sauces available.
As mentioned previously, this restaurant is inside the food court inside the freighthouse which is a funky old building. But it was clean inside and I felt safe. There were a number of security people outside walking around outside and I felt safe here. I don't know if I'd go alone after dark, but I could be wrong.
Bottom line, if you're looking for some great Clam Chowder and Fish and chips, you should try this out. All of our small businesses could use our support. The next time you're at the Dome, you should stop by. The staff is friendly and the food is fresh.

Diner Review №7

Great food and customer service, definitely will be back.

Diner Review №8

Older rustic food hall
Ordered the Cod (3pzs), and the Shrimp Complete Meal.
Chowder is super thick, more then i'm use to, but the taste is freaking great. Portions are huge. I should have orderd a 2pzs. The Shrimp were good too. Chef warned us the cocktail sauce was homemade and had a good kick. Nah ,it wasn't that "slap yo mama" kick, but it was tasty. Much Better than jarred stuff. Price was fair. Highly recommend

Diner Review №9

The catfish, shrimp, and hush puppies were very good. Fish was very moist and breading was super crisp, perfect combo. The chowder was chunky, thick and full of flavor. Service was super quick and the staff were very attentive, asking if we needed anything several times throughout our meal. Would definitely come back! It’s located in an old strip mall of sorts with a lot of shopping and eating options.

Diner Review №10

Great setvice and yummy clam chowder. Only downside was I got food poisoning.

Diner Review №11

I'm having their clam chowder at this moment, and it is AMAZING! the service is unmatched...I am so happy that found this place...inside freight house square in Tacoma...if you see this review, you NEED to com just for this chowder

Diner Review №12

I'm very fussy about my fish and chips and these are among the best I've ever had. And the staff are terrific and very engaged in making sure everything is to your satisfaction. Absolutely recommend this place!

Diner Review №13

It is worth it when u get the special and it is delicious

Diner Review №14

The 3 piece fish was excellent. Its presentation was superb. I asked for hot sauce and the suggested the cocktail sauce with a punch and I loved it. The husband and wife team were personable and attentive to my needs and request.

Diner Review №15

Ruining the vibes at freight house. Usually super nice and relaxing here but they were playing sports at max volume while I was trying to have date with my husband. Very disrespectful

Diner Review №16

i would go here more if i didn't have a considerable lack of funds . 9.9/10

Diner Review №17

Fantastic! Great fish and chips and shrimp special, big enough to split for two big appetites.

Diner Review №18

Got the 3 piece halibut fish and chips combo. Food is simple, hot and fresh - just what you want out of fish and chips. A little on the pricey side - but worth it to purchase from a family-owned biz.

Diner Review №19

Best fish and chips!!! Clam chowder is amazing, and the chicken strips are deliciously good!!!!

Diner Review №20

Outstanding! Everything was on point.

Diner Review №21

Diner Review №22

Fantastic service and the food is delicious. The seating area has a calm atmosphere in the evening, rather peaceful.

Diner Review №23

WOW. Okay, so first and foremost these portions are HUGE! I easily had enough for two meals for myself for an amazing price. Apparently they hand fillet and hand bread their fish, and you can tell! Crunchy, golden, and super well seasoned. My leftovers crisped up nicely in the air fryer (a sign of quality) - and even the leftover fries quickly revived! For the love of everything, put your leftovers in the oven or an air fryer (and let’s face facts - putting fish in a microwave should be a felony). A++++++++ can’t wait to got to Freighthouse Square to eat here again!

Diner Review №24

Cod is to die for!!!

Diner Review №25

Best fish and chips around by far!! The chowder is also top notch!! The owners are always welcoming and fun. We came in for a 3 piece and ended up getting an extra peice from the owner and a sample of the chowder.

Diner Review №26

I told the owner that these were some of the best fish n chips I've ever had, and he corrected me and told me they were actually the best, and he was right. Definitely the best fish n chips I've ever had.

Diner Review №27

I’ve been coming here since I was a teenager . Whenever I need a fish and chips kick, I come here . Service makes you feel like family . 🩷

Diner Review №28

Great F&C..

Diner Review №30

Diner Review №31

The family that runs this place is so amazing and lovely. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. The halibut is banging, but seriously, try the cod!

Diner Review №32

Good food and great customer service!

Diner Review №33

My only "complaint" is this place isn't right down the street from me. The cod is panko breaded and is the absolute best.

Diner Review №34

The halibut and fries were excellent. I've had better coleslaw and chowder so I'll be getting a la carte on just the fish and fries next time. Excellent service and a very friendly staff.

Diner Review №35

Great fish and chips.

Diner Review №36

Literally just left Paya Thai. The best fish and chips I have ever had without question and also by far the best service and friendliness I have ever experienced at a counter service restaurant. This was also my first time having clam chowder (I’m from central Texas), and now I’m going to be dreaming about this clam chowder until I come back to Seattle/Tacoma for it here at Paya Thai. Such a wonderful first impression by the food and people here. I will absolutely come back.

Diner Review №37

Got the 2 piece cod fish and chips

Diner Review №38

Me and my fiancée stopped by the Freighthouse Square for a bite to eat and decided to try out a place we had seen for several years but had not eaten there yet. We were both amazed beyond words.

We saw the beautiful pictures of salmon. fish & chips and shrimp and while we where trying to decide out from beyond the counter popped the most cheerful man Tom that acted like we were the most important people in the world. He recommend the special with fish & chips and shrimp. The picture looked generous for the price which as most people know is usually too good to be true.

Tom came and prepared the table with the same brightness and before too long he brought out the food on these beautiful large plates. Too our surprise it looked belter than the picture. I first tasted the fries and they were perfectly done, crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Then I tasted the Cod. It was superb, the light panko crust and fresh tasting cod was heaven. It was cooked in clean light oil and was some of the best fried cod I ever had. Lastly, I tried the shrimp and it was just as wonderful dipped in a top notch cocktail sauce.

Tom kept coming out several times to make sure were ok and each time with the zest of life he had in his eyes moved us. We complimented him and asked why was he so happy. He told us that he survived a near death illness and this was his first time out in the world again after a long time thinking it was going to be his last time on earth. We were moved so deeply.

I said hi to the owner and talked to the chef and learned that they clean and slice the fish every morning and that the panko was a high quality brand. They said to come back because they have different specials every Thursday's and Friday's and I need to try the salmon.

We will! This was better then some of the top seafood names in town and more like a five star restaurant in quality. We will definitely go again and we look forward to seeing Tom again.

Diner Review №39

Wow! That was the best fish so fresh and crispy not greasy tasting. The last teresa is so sweet and is consistently working and making you happy. A must go and try those delicious fried shrimps too!

Diner Review №42

The food was great. Best fish I’ve have in town in some time. The owners were very welcoming and there Mrs. told us that her husband comes in and cleans the halibut every morning. You could taste the freshness🤞🏽 side note the clam chowder (kiss the chef✨) My new favorite for fish and chips.

Diner Review №43

Absolutely delicious fish and chips. Extremely friendly.

Diner Review №44

Diner Review №45

The clam chowder is excellent but the temperature is inconsistent from day to day. The fish has top notch battering and crispiness. I recommend the shrimp.

Diner Review №46

Diner Review №47

Best fish and chips in Puget sound area 😋

Diner Review №48

So darn good! Everytime!

Diner Review №49

Best fish and chips in the area. The guy that was behind the counter was very helpful also. Only downside is the area, but I’ll definitely be back.

Diner Review №50

Ordered 3 piece cod combo. The freshness of the fish, hospitality of the staffs, and the old-fashioned American flag. How can you not like this place. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №51

It's very average fish and chips and a dirty food hall

Diner Review №52

We've been here twice and the food was perfect both times. The owner clearly has worked for decades in the hospitality industry, as he treated us with 5 star service. Absolutely will be back.

Diner Review №53

Food was excellent, I am a bit of a fish n chips snob so I mean it! The service is absolutely top notch, polite, helpful and smiles. The atmosphere isnt a restaurant but perfect for a lunch date or something more casual. I ate alone and eas thoroughly satisfied! They DO serve vinegar with the fish!!! Always such a let down when places dont

Diner Review №54

I got the shrimp and chips. It was very tasty and cooked perfectly, the tartar sauce was Hella. Good. The card was fired to, and they even gave us an extra piece because we were sharing. Teresa was so sweet and very accommodating! would definitely come here again.

Diner Review №55

Amazing! The portion of the 3-piece cod fish and chips was very big. Great experience!

Diner Review №56

Fish excellent and huge portion. I see why it has great reviews 👌 and the American flag on box💯💛💥thank you!

Diner Review №57

Came here randomly for a fish and chip craving and was pleasantly surprised at how amazing the food was. I’ll definitely be back!

Diner Review №58

Amazing

Diner Review №59

Best fish ever.

Diner Review №60

I can’t believe I haven’t posted a review for this place. I’ve been here a few times since 2018 yet I was only able to locate two food pix. Oh my! =) LOL!

I’ve ordered the Fish and chips a few times and it is delicious. Service is great. The dining vibe is great.

I need to come back and eat here soon again. I’m craving fish and chips. Haha!

Diner Review №61

Highly recommend!

Owner is one of the nicest businessmen we’ve ever met. When not too busy, he makes sure all the little details are cared for. Customer service is 10/10, and the fish are one of the BEST around🤤no frills, just good fish, good fries, and good sauce.

Diner Review №62

Took the T line to the Freight House Square and ordered the Fish and Shrimp special. At $20.95 I was thinking it was a bit expensive. That is until they put this pile of fish and shrimp in front of me. I couldn’t even eat half of it and I’m no light weight. I ate the other half today and promptly fell asleep in my recliner. I got 2 complete meals from that plate.
The fish and shrimp were perfectly cooked and I really enjoyed the fries. It’s a family run place and they are very welcoming. I enjoyed the experience. If you like your fish fried head to Paya Thai Fish and Chips.

Diner Review №63

This is hands down the best fish in the Tacoma and surrounding area.

The atmosphere is quaint with tons of history and there is little specialty shops to check out as well.

The proprietors and employees are friendly and efficient and make you feel comfortable and welcome.

The food is what makes this our go to dining out choice every time. The fish is fresh, flakey and delicious. We order the Captains Platter and share between two and still have leftover.

We love the scallops, clams, oysters and shrimp, the clam chowder is to die for, the absolute best. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Go check it out, you'll love it, I promise!

Diner Review №64

In came into Freighthouse Square on a lark yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by the lively atmosphere. Decided on fish and chips. It was beautifully plated and as delicious as it looks. Everyone working were kind and attentive, I even got a sample of the clam chowder, which I very much look forward to next time.

Diner Review №65

Good experience great food scratch that delicious food ,great atmosphere chayane was very serviceable and explains the food menu to my wife and I tried and ooommmggg 😋 claim chowder was on point and the cod

Diner Review №66

Sooooo delicious. Just a wonderful place to go!

Diner Review №67

An excellent place for amazing food and enough to take home for leftovers. I was celebrating a BD and mentioned it to the Owner. After we were done eating he brought out a personal desert for my Brother for free.

Diner Review №68

knocked out of the park here? Get the food, the fish and chips?

Diner Review №69

This place is amazing! Food, service, workers & owners!!

Diner Review №70

Ordered the captains platter. Just wasn’t to my liking. The clams were chewy and the oysters tasted just plain horrible. The fish was tough. However the chowder had wonderful flavor and was very tasty. However again, clams were very chewy. I enjoyed Ivars better than here.

Diner Review №71

Give this man Robert a raise yo. He's the man blessed us with the best fish n chips and customer service was amazing. Nice to meet you and your son. Good luck next time on the escape room hahahaha

Diner Review №72

Great food and service

Diner Review №73

Diner Review №74

Diner Review №75

I come from all the way to Seattle and nothing beats the captains platter! Definitely, the best fish and chips in town! Worth the traffic and bad drivers!

Diner Review №76

Excellent and very healthy sized portions!

Diner Review №77

I had the 2 piece fish and chip. The fish was fresh and crispy with tons of flavor. The fries were cooked perfectly. I highly recommend you stop by when in the area.

Diner Review №78

Been here 5x : halibut fish tasty, fries frozen and formed.

Diner Review №79

Oh my gosh, this food is really good. My whole family loves it, so it's a Friday night take-out favorite.

I am 74. I was with my niece and my daughter and my granddaughter. It was a fun atmosphere. Lots of high school kids there at their lunch time. It was fun watching them interact with each other. Food is always good. Fish and chips are great!

Diner Review №85

The kindest people that are very concerned about you enjoying your food! Checked on us multiple times and served very generous portions! If you want fresh fish and chips and chowder this is the place!!

Diner Review №86

Perfect fish and I LOVE the light breading on the fries. They might be my favorite ever!

Diner Review №87

Very good lightly battered fish that was super crispy. It was 3 o’clock in the afternoon and the grease they used for frying was in great condition for frying. The fries were also just as very good and the clam chowder decent. A bit salty, like most, but full of chunky goodness. The fish is a bland fish and the batter is a on the bland side but that is how good fish and chips should be. It’s perfect with the tartar sauce and malt vinegar.
The two people there cooking and ringing everything up seemed like they were the owners. They were very nice, brought our food out to the table and bused the table after we left. The Mr. even checked on us during our meal and this is not a full service restaurant. They had a “GREAT” score from the health department displayed and it looked to deserve the score.
It’s not the best atmosphere as it’s in a complex that is attached to other indoor walk up restaurant and shops down the way a bit like a flea market back east. We drive there from Puyallup just for this meal but worth the drive.

Diner Review №88

Diner Review №89

Came here for business and can't help but sing praises for this place. Firstly, super down to earth, couple, amazing service. Ordered a 2 piece cod combo, and was served within 5 minutes. The clam chowder blew me away, completely loaded and flavor packed, the fish was fresh and not overbreaded. Definitely going to be one of my go to spots whenever I visit Tacoma! Keep it up!

Diner Review №90

Fresh and tasty!

Diner Review №91

Owner & Staff + food & service are all amazing!!

Diner Review №92

Excellent Fish n Chips, possibly the best in Tacoma. I'm still conducting that Contest. Great Service! Atmosphere I rated at 4 stars only because it's in an old warehouse, feels kind of like a flea market cafeteria. Parking wasn't very well marked either and a little confusing. There is a Free Parking sign that points to the left but its past the entrance of the parking garage so you have to drive around the block.

Diner Review №93

Took my mom there a few days ago she loves the fish and chips best chowder ever and the fish and chips are amazing 5 stars

Diner Review №94

Good food and fantastic service. Would definitely go back for more

Diner Review №95

My boyfriend said the food smacks! And the guy in the front is a world class restaurateur!

Diner Review №96

This establishment has the best food! Clam chowder is to die for and if you love fish you need to eat fish here. Well done Paya Thai!!!

Diner Review №97

I have a friend that works for Paya Thai. I stopped by to say hello and ended up ordering the 5 piece fish n chips. I was blown away. The cuisine was delicious. I ordered it to go but couldn't wait, so I tried a bit. I want everyone reading this review to know Paya Thai is so worthy of your patronage. The menu was broad. The service was to tier ( as fast food businesses go). I spoke at length with the owner of the history of her restaurant. She was warm and passionate about the service she provides. I stopped in today 9/15/2023 and tried the clam chowder...OH MY GOD...the best I've tasted in all my 67 years. I highly recommend you visit this wonderful Fish&Chip restaurant. Plenty of seating. Great atmosphere for the whole family.
Located in the Fraighhouse Square at Tacoma Dome Station , downtown Tacoma.

First time trying! And Was Not disappointed!!!
Huge portions! Hand battered goodness!!! People work with pride!
Support the Small Business!!!
It's where the Best Food is at!!!

Diner Review №101

Fresh fish that had been prepared that morning. Don't need tartar sauce when the fish is so fresh. Great guys working there. I took my family there 2 days later and I know my daughter is taking her employees very soon. Excellent...

Diner Review №102

Fish and chips are always amazing as is the rest of the food!

Diner Review №103

Love their fish and chips

Diner Review №104

Diner Review №105

Diner Review №106

The deal of the day was great. 2 piece fish and 5 shrimp for $20. We ended up getting way more fish than that as well. Everything was cooked 2 perfection. LOVE IT! Most certainly have 2 come back

Diner Review №107

Very nice employees, food is awesome, worth every cent!

Diner Review №108

Diner Review №109

Had a great experience here on a hot July day. Walked right up and was greeted with excellent service. I got the 2 pc cod with coleslaw and chowder. The chowder was so good! And for this place not being a traditional sit down restaurant there was really attentive service. The two gentlemen working really have it down and do a great job. I’d definitely recommend this place next time you’re in town for some classic pnw fried fish (:

Diner Review №110

Diner Review №111

Fast, efficient, and well-fried. We asked the lady working the cash register how long an order would take. She said five minutes and recommended the 3-piece cod and fries combo. We were already served our food before we even sat down at the table ten feet away. They even cleaned the table for us and gave us complimentary mints. Would recommend this place for quick service and great fish and chips!

Diner Review №112

Diner Review №113

Amazing. Light and crispy fish, so good, and about the best house made tartar sauce and clam chowder I ever did have!

Diner Review №114

Diner Review №115

The very best Fish & Chips, clam chowder and coleslaw combo around. Treated my parents to dinner, who are sticklers on these items, and they are in love as I am with the food and wonderful proprietors.

Diner Review №116

Very friendly service. Halibut fish and chips were awesome. Chowder was fresh and served steaming hot!

Diner Review №117

Diner Review №118

My mom loves going here to get to fish and chips.

Diner Review №119

We have tried several spots during our visit to the area… upscale, down home, and local favs. The “food court” type multi-restaurant establishment is not on the higher end, but the food was just as good, if not better, than places we paid double & triple for. The cod, shrimp, and clams were very good. The prices are reasonable and the customer service was great! I highly recommend if you want a good seafood meal for a reasonable price.

Diner Review №120

My wife and I really enjoyed the food, and will gladly come visits again. It was worth the money.

Diner Review №121

Diner Review №122

Super nice owner, like the nicest I have ever met. He was also very attentive to his customers despite being busy serving others.

Diner Review №123

Best fish and shrimp
Grill Ling cod was alsome

Lovely little diner

The fish and salad is excellent as well

Diner Review №125

Diner Review №126

Service is always great. The owner is very friendly and personable. Food is plentiful and really good.

Diner Review №127

Went on a date and all she talked about were two things: 1) her ex and 2) clam chowder.

Listen... I'm lonely and it's been hard out here as a single Laotian male. Yeah I bet you don't even know where Laotia is, do you? Exactly. So, if my date wants to talk about her ex who fled prison and doesn't pay child support over delicious clam chowder, fine. I'll do it. Which I did.

Anyway, when she went to the bathroom, she ditched me. Turns out her ex was hanging out in downtown Tacoma and he stole my Hyundai using my USB-C cable. He picked her up in my car, and streamed it on Tik-Tok, and... I followed his account because, well, her ex was hot.

Diner Review №128

In a food court, little overpriced, fish and chips are quite good

Diner Review №129

Delicious food. Halibut and chips were very good and they were so nice and attentive there. Great food and people. Chowder was delicious as well. Check it out!

Diner Review №130

Perfectly executed fish and chips. The clams were great too. Large portions as seen in the pictures. Would highly recommend.

Diner Review №142

Diner Review №143

The best clam chowder, fish n chips I’ve had in WA.

Diner Review №145

Diner Review №146

Good fish, great folks. A new favorite place!

Diner Review №147

Paya Thai has hands down the best Fish and Chips. Large portions that always leaves me full. The staff is super accommodating and checks on customers frequently. Their Clam Chowder and Salads are among my other favorites.
The owner and his wife greeted us this evening and treated us with interesting details on the humble beginnings in Thailand and all the bits in between. It truly is rewarding when supporting local family owned businesses.

Diner Review №148

I absolutely loved it ❤️

Diner Review №149

Best fish n chips in town! And even better service. Thanks guys! Bomb clam chowder too.

Diner Review №150

Diner Review №151

Diner Review №152

They have the best fish and chips

Diner Review №153

The best of everything! Haven't found any clam chowder better yet in the NW. Fish, shrimp, and Salad is excellent.

Diner Review №154

Halibut was very good. Clam chowder was good. This is a food court setting, so no in-resturant sitting. We may go back.

Diner Review №155

Great fish and chips. Clam chowder was good too!

Diner Review №156

Great fish & chowder, and such good fries! For the fried items - it's always a delicious golden fried goodness. They have an awesome baked ling cod, that will sell out, if you get there late. Paya has the best deal and selection of drinks. No matter where we eat at Freighthouse Square, we get drinks here.

Diner Review №157

Loved this gem! A very kind lady whom I assume is the owner came by a few times and struck conversation. Very warm experience, and the food matched the people. Superb clam chowder. I'm not the expert, but that was the best I've ever had. The cod was also amazing. Overall amazing. Thanks yall.

Diner Review №158

Wow!! Love this place so much. Had scoped them out before visiting town and was even more blown away when we actually tried them. Got the cod fish n chips plate that comes with coleslaw, fries and clam chowder. The fish and chips were amazing as we had expected but the clam chowder was the best either my husband or I have ever had. Planning on grabbing another bowl before we go home.
Not only was the food so good but we had this sweetheart (owner?) who gave us recommendations on best ways to get around and things to do with our night. Thanks so much for the hospitality and great food.

Diner Review №159

The special platter for $20 just doesn’t beat anything else in town. Super crispy fish, juicy shrimps, their fries and house made horseradish cocktail sauce and tartar are my favorite. The fish is never a grease pile and I never feel disgusting afterwards. The salmon caesar salad is also amazing. Always consistent. The owners are always so kind and hospital. We will continue to support this business for our fish n chip fix!

Diner Review №160

Damn good fish and chips!! Definitely coming back

Diner Review №161

The fish is always excellent and large portions, great people.

If ever get a chance to go, you will not be disappointed.

Diner Review №167

Diner Review №168

Each one of the staff were so attentive and genuinely kind. Some of the best service I’ve had in a long time. The food was outstanding. Clam chowder was better than the overpriced cup we had at Pike’s Place the day prior. Convenient location for groups because of the mall set up with lots of other options.

Diner Review №169

Got the fish and chips special with shrimp. Good. Fast.

Diner Review №171

This is my second time trying this fabulous restaurant out and the food is amazing 🤩 I came early this time so I didn’t get the chance to try out their clam chowder but I will definitely be back to try it out as well when I come back with mom!

This place rocks, I ordered the Captain's platter, way to much for one person. The food was cooked to perfection. One of the best fish and chips I have ever had.

Great seafood, and they were happy to accommodate our order.

The owner is awesome. He needs us locals to support him. He said business has been slowly.

Best Fish N Chips I've had in a long while. The pictures i saw in the restaurant's profile enticed me and i was not disappointed. Best of all, they asked me when do i want to pick up, and i said in 2 mins and voila it was ready by the time i walked in. Best aioli dipping. Worth every buck. Five star is understatement.
