Reviews of Oppies Restaurant & Takeaway

M. R.

I ordered the fish burger combo today. Burger was good, chips were ok - only downfall was there was no seasoning on the chips. The customer service wasn't great but there wasn't a long wait for the food. Best thing was that there was covered seating outside. I wouldn't mind visiting again to try other dishes.

C. k.

Came to Oppies as it was a short walk from our motel. Ordering online was a breeze! The steak meals are huge and cooked perfectly. Will definitely be buying again when we come back

H. M.

It's good, fish and chips are great, but we ordered lemon chicken and pork fried rice and it wasn't great, the chicken was tough and grissley and the pork was also tough. Needs more work guys sorry 😐

W. S.

Great restaurant with different kinds of food available. Tasty Chinese food and normal takeaway food on the menu. Good value, large portion and reasonable price. The chef special burger behind only costed us 8.5 dollars which got egg, ham, meat, vegetables. It’s quite big that I couldn’t even finish it. The fish and chips is very crispy and fresh. We didn’t finish that as well. So we brought the leftover fish back to Auckland that night...

M. W.

Wow, grew up in Rotorua and walked passed Oppies almost every day to school. Loved it for lunch the other day. Great fish portion, crisp with a free lemon slice. Lovely tone and crunch to the batter. Beautiful chips. Great treat on a cold winter's day or any day for that matter

M.

What an excellent food shop. Fish n chips were great and the sweet and sour pork was one of the best I've ever had. Will be back!

A.

Great fish and chips here. After a massive day Exploring Rotovegas, this was so good.

P. T.

These snapper fillets were $7.00. I ordered two and got whole fat beautifully battered fresh tasting fish. The chips were good as well.

J. T.

Fried rice was delicious and very generous with the BBQ pork and the hoki was so fresh and flaky. The squid however was not very good and the coating had a lot of baking soda that you could feel on your teeth as you ate. Definitely go but don't bother with the squid.

E. K.

Average fish and chips, not very tasty and batter was too heavy. Customer service etc was decent though, didn't try the chinese food.

B. T.

Decent fish and chips, though a scoop of chips seems a bit miserly for the price. You're better off with some of their other offerings like Chinese, which offers better value IMO. Nothing wrong with the quality of any of their food though.

H.

I almost done there every time when in Rot, was good to see this place had a facelift. Business is good as usual most customers are Maori as you can expect at Rotorua. Nothing to complain all thumbs up

OMG, one of the best Asian food shop in Rotorua. The food is so nice and fish is also very delicious. The boss is very friendly and give you the good advice. It’s must visit food shop or takeaway in the Rotorua. VH

J. B.

Wow. Well that was unexpected. Travelling around NZ from OZ. Best seafood sticks anywhere, ever. Super fresh and tasty calamari rings. Second best battered fish anywhere, ever. We wished we'd ordered more. Tip - Follow the road Oppies on all the way down to the water for a great view. FYI - Seagulls, ducks, geese and swans line the shoreline on mass, so you may need to guard your hot chips.

J.

Friendly service and very conveniently located but I don't know how this place won the YUMMY CHIPS AWARD.

S. Y.

Loved the quaint little place. Ordered for a vegetarian chopsuey. The base sauce was yummy and the vegetables were well cooked. Good value for money.

K.

Oppies fish and chips is a somewhat well regarded takeaway store in Rotorua; the place represents excellent value for money and the food is pretty good. We ordered plain 'ol boring fish and chips and it did not disappoint. Parking is limited in the area and whilst there are tables to dine in; it's really a take away store. We went there on a rainy evening and the wait for food was not too long. Anyone visiting Rotorua should pop by if they want a cheap and food feed.

E. N.

Came over for a quick stop by for lunch. We were in the mood for easy simple local style kinda food. Ordered the fish and chips and its nice. Ordered the pork belly and found it extremely nice! Reordered the pork belly because everyone just loved it. Crunchy and tasty. Service is just what you should expect when you go to takeaway foodstore. Plenty of space, few tables and seatings. Many customers. Recommend and will come back.

R.

Awesome service quick food was wonderful enjoyed the sweet and sour pork looking forward to another nice meal when back in Rotorua

K.

Wonderful meal deep fryed snapper nicely cooked with eggs chips salad 6 oysters perfectly cooked undone just the way i like it

A.

We had chinese there. The Mongolian beef was really nice. Cool you can order online.

J.

Quite expensive (haven't tasted) and they have still put their old championship best from winner in 2008, 2009 and 2011. That's 10 years ago .... didn't end up buying

K. D.

Great fish and chips!! I suggest splurging a little and purchasing the restaurants homemade tartar sauce! To me, a good fish and chip is as good as it's tartar sauce.... and theirs go hand in hand!!

P.

Super amazing service. Got some free chips as a extra because they ran out of green beans and had to switch to another vege.

B. K.

Fish was fresh but quite oily. Battered oysters were small. Price is reasonable for a quick lunch.

到.

The best fish & chips in NZ what the all blacks are to rugby.

F. H.

Just had dinner here on the lovely blue and white picnic tables out the back . Food was amazing . Best fish and chips for a long time . Thanks for your excellent service .

R. J.

I ordered scallops and chips they gave me 3 scallops with orange roe and 3 small scallops without ore. Average taste. About a dollar for one calamari ring. Bit expensive

P. S.

Best Fish and Chips I've probably EVER had. We ordered and sat out the back on the picnic tables under the twinkling lights. If coming to Rotorua this is your dinner sorted. They do Chinese as well. We will be back.

I. H.

The shop looks great with the renovation, the place had been expanded to provide more tables and chairs for a sit down meal and dine in. Well done to Michael and team for all your efforts to continuously provide your customers great atmosphere, great service and great food. The place is known for its sumptuous portion of fish and chips, that tastes fresh and not to oily. Its worth a visit if you are coming down to Rotorua.

T. R.

Absoloutely deserve their ratings as best fish and chips in Rotorua. .. Very surprised and loved the size of meal.... for the price .. fresh delicious and appealing to the eyes thumbs uo👍you must have a meal here if on holiday

D. h.

Not bad . Prices were not too bad . Had better fish n chips but can't really fault the place at all . Friendly ,well spoken and polite customer service . Good menu to choose from . Not just the usual European chinese food . I would go back there .

E.

Very good quality and Michael, the owner, is very passionate about his food and customers. The fresh oysters are a must and the chip oil always tastes fresh.

A.

Oppies is a bit like a seafood grotto come Asian food. It is decent and good quality

A. Y.

Love it, best fish & chips in town.

A.

The food is alway cooked to order.. good size portions at a good price..

J.

Quaint little shop at the edge of town. Parking available across the road. Good serving of fish and chips at a good price.

T. Z.

Well, have been there a few times, food is good with reasonable price. It just a takeaway, so I don’t really expect any good service at all. But if they can pay attention to their waiting place and eat in place will be good.

m.

Eating space are big now. Own parking at the backyard.　Fish burger's fish was smelly, , buns not nice, chips are very crunchy not oily so good. Table got sticky not wiped and some flies annoyed. Hoping do work better for their renowned shop as customers expect the best in town!

K. I.

I live locally to this establishment so we thought we would give it a try. As we entered the place is very clean and tidy. The customer service is great. The food was ok. I have very high standards when it comes to fish and chips. I will travel to a beach location just to buy a fresh piece of fish. All-in-all not a bad place to have a quick fix.

j.

Good family atmosphere. I mean for our family. 9/10. Only because I wanted more!

C.

Friendly service great food. Would definitely go again.

R. S.

Tasty fish. Handy seating area inside. Easy evening meal after a day of sightseeing.

B. W.

Nice fresh fish n chips, nice clean oil used. Modern clean shop. If ya like fish n chips, this place is a must

L. N.

Ordered the Oppies Fried Rice online. Walked the 300mtrs to the shop and the order was ready. Hot & flavoursome. Good serving. Feed two easily. Recommend this shop as somewhere to eat.

J. W.

Clean premises and toilets. Parking at the rear of the building and a great menu to choose from serving large portions. Would recommend.

B. N.

Ordered Fried Rice Trip home approximately an hour and a half to and was tired so stopped to order fried rice. Food was tasty and I didn't have to wait long but have given a star less because I asked when ordering whether they use Gluten free sauce and the reply was "I don't know what sauce they use" and there was no offer to check. For such a special store, where overseas visitors used to frequent because of reviews, this was sad. I hope they improve in this area.

W.

Man what an awesome feed, couldnt eat it all. Really great food. Thanks guys.

J.

Good service and a good selection of tasty food.

N. A.

Great tasting noodle vegetarian dish and mates pork crackling dish. Clean, fast service and seems very popular. Huge range of seafood and meat dishes. Serves takeaways and sitdown meals as well.

È. S.

Had to snapper fish and chips. The fish was decent - fairly small piece though. The fries were nothing special- maybe even frozen. This is supposed to be the best but I’ve definitely had better as far as fish and chips go. My friends had the Chinese food and said it was very good.

R. K.

One of the best fish and chips I've ever had in New Zealand. Not oily at all. Portions are big. Totally worth it. I've also noticed the place has had a revamp. It looks nicer now than it was before. I'm definitely coming back next time I'm in Rotorua.

N.

Wow I know now why this place has won awards, the food was delicious, I wish I had taken my phone. There is a wall of fame. Jonah is up on the wall. I had a fish burger, my daughter had wontons and wonton noodle soup and grandson had a cheese burger (huge). Real yummy food people....get in there!

A. T.

Oppies... Has been a consistent performer over the years and for that reason... It has never disappointed me. The fish is always cooked perfectly... So is everything else. If you're in the mood for a quick bite and reckon you've earnt it... Go on mate, give it a go!

J. O.

You can either get fried food or Chinese. Always a winning combination

A.

They boast their awards and so me and my partner decided to try it out but it was a bit disappointing. First, the inside of the restaurant wasn't as clean as it should be such as sticky and oil marks on the table. Secondly, they need to drain out oil before serving it to customers as our chips and spring rolls were soaked in oil.. We couldn't finish due to this reason. I think this establishment was an amazing place when it first opened but the standard isn't where they say to be.

W. D.

Purchased 1 battered fish, 1 crumbed fish and 2 scoops of chips. Was absolutely yummy! Both battered and crumbed fish were fresh and tasty and came with a slice of lemon each. The cops were nice and crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside and also tasted fabulous. Would have no problem recommending these guys to anyone!

H. D.

Charges 2% for a credit card charge. That put them on the back foot from the start, but it was all good from there. Very nice premises, clean and the service was friendly enough. Two tills so I was served quickly.fish was fresh and the chips were good. I would certainly go again next time I was in Rotorua and felt like fish and chips.

W. S. T.

This was the best fish and chips I have had in years. The atmosphere was so friendly. The shop was spotlessly clean. The photos on the wall of all the famous people who have eaten there was awesome. Excellent.

B.

Great food and be warned when you order off the Chinese menu you'll be eating for two. Actually the fish n chips menu is also quite ample as well. Friendly service.

W. S.

Really well run place and the makeover looks great. I usually order too much Chinese food from here my first night in Rotorua so I've got plenty of leftovers for nights we're too tired to go out. The fish is really good. I know the chips are award winning but if I could change one thing it would be for them to use fresh cut chips instead of frozen ones.

D.

Best Fish n Chips in Rotorua hands down 😊

J. E.

Looks good inside. Updraded from last time we were there. Nice dining area. Ordered 4 different items. Hot dog was okay and I finished it but we couldn’t finish the chips. Picked certain ones out. He had the curry roll and fish, and said the curry roll was he better of the two but this is just from our experience. Most likely won’t be back but we have said that before: just wanted to give it another go. Some people rave about it but sadly on this particular occasion, it wasn’t for us. Still give it a 3 anyway.

M. 7.

Saturday night and there was a large queue. The staff were great and despite the place being busy I only had a 15 minute wait. The fish was on the pricey side at $5 a piece but it was fresh. 5 pieces of fish and 3 scoops of chips was plenty for 3 hungry adults.

L. P.

The Fish & Chip's are absolutely amazing, I've eaten at a number of establishments now on this holiday and none have served fresh fish like this. Friendly counter staff and reasonably priced. Definitely worth the 5 star's.

L. L.

I loved this, fresh, great taste, won tons that were huge and tasty, chow mein delightful, fisn n chips awesomeness, we were tired after traveling and they delivered hot and fast. I'm going back next time for sure.

D.

Fresh fish, crispy chips, a lovely hot meal with friendly helpful staff. Well worth a meal there. Thanks for a great experience.

H.

Passing through on holiday. Was recommended Oppies by the locals. Very nice. Clean premises. Lots of menu options. I used the online order form and collected it. The food was ready in the time given and really good. Fresh. Good portions There is lots of seating in the restaurant so assume there are dine in options.

N.

Extremely good value. Hoki fish was perfectly cooked and wasn't oily at all. The chips are the best we've ever had and for $10.00 we had more than enough for a hungry family of 4. Highly recommend!

L.

Oppies is a beautiful clean restaurant. Indoor n outdoor seating is lovely. Lots of fascinating artifacts n art to look at. A very cool place

K. P.

Beautiful food. The battered scallops and mussels have awesome flavours and they aren't rubbery when you bite into them. Outstanding. I will go there for my fish and chips from now on

H.

Eaten in twice here with families or singles enjoying sharing a meal together. Variety of meals to choose from the menu. Restrooms on site with friendly customer service.

J.

Yummo Chinese food pork belly with crackling and Singapore noodles

M. P.

This place seems to be more popular with the locals for their Asian takeaways than their fish and chips. I ordered the fish and chips and it came as a generous portion. A bit overwhelming after a while when everything in the box is deep fried. The fish is pretty fresh, though. I would suggest sharing a portion unless you are feeling particularly hungry.

M.

Lovely fresh fish n chips smells great as soon as u arrive lovely atmosphere to dine in with the choice too take away definitely recommend taking a special stop here.

R.

Be warn on the portion size. Is big enough for 2-3pax per order. Overall good quality was acceptable. Poppies fried rice was tasty and balance of other ingredients and rice. Fried cabbage with bacon was tasty. Fish and chip was acceptable but preferred fish to be crisp. Sauces and disposable cutlery all charge separately.

K. (.

We ordered fish and chips, a beef burger, a double beef burger, battered oyster, battered scallop, 6 prawn twists, 6 dumplings, a banana fritter, a pineapple fritter and a donut. Which cost us under $50 which for that much food is awesome value! Not only was the price great it was so fresh and delicious too. The beef burgers actually had battered patties too. Would definately go back there, a great family place.

M.

Wonderfully made food. The fish and chips is by far my favorite item on the menu. There is also a large selection of Chinese food and it all always comes out fresh and delicious. One odd thing is they request change in exchange for cutlery. If you don't have spare pocket change make sure you bring your own fork!

R.

AWESOME snapper, squid rings and chips.... SOOOOOO YUMMY and very affordable

A. M.

We enjoyed the Oppie's meal and they seem to live up to being a top fish and chip shop. We bought snapper, scoop of chips and vegetarian burger. Everything seemed yummy, the fish fresh and the price was reasonable for a meal for two. Would recommend to all.

W.

Nice kai here! The place is tidy and good service. Didn't realise it was an award winning place until I got my food ate it and looked on the walls to see the results spoke for itself. Thankyou hearty Oppies!

M. M. M. G. A. :. W.

I ORDERED ONLINE MY ORDER WAS ABOUT $125.00 INCLUDES A $9.00 DELIVERY CHARGE ... MY MEAL NOTE INCLUDED NO BATTER ON MY HAMBURGER MEAT PATTERS & NO SPICY OR BBQ SAUCE JUST STANDARD TOMATO ...

J.

Great fish platter with a tasty side salad and great chips. We also ordered a wonton soup which was nothing special. The wontons had no flavor. Overall I would recommend to have the fish

M. A.

Taste is very subjective so this review is based on mine alone. The food very oil and the vegetable spring roll was dripping with oil, soggy fries. I was somewhat disappointed after seeing that they were voted the best. I probably wouldn't go again.

H.

Great service, lovely and clean. Interesting reading the walls they have lots of awards and have lots of high profile visitors. We really enjoyed our meal

J.

This is my favourite place to eat in Rotorua. Every time we visit, I always make a trip to Oppies. Sweet & Chicken and chicken fried rice. Super friendly staff and the portions are huge. I’d say enough for 3 people, and we ain’t little! Highly recommend a visit when you’re here!

P.

Been a bit weary of this place due to other reviews but today things were competent. Need to go there more often to know if they blow hot or cold. Nice decor, clean, friendly service. Food was good.

D. S.

Yep - loved it! Crumbled gurnard was excellent, and no objection to creating 4 separate parcels. Place feels clean and efficient. Chinese meals looked very appetising too.

J.

Great fish and chips.

C. M.

More batter than fish and a bit stingy on portion size but enjoyed my platter regardless. Good service.

M.

Their reputation exists for a reason. Awesome burgers and battered scallops were yummy. I'd swim the oceans to get there if I had to!

M. B.

Great tasting fish and chips. Ready quickly by great staff. Parking out back, with clean tables to use. Eating in the evening at these tables pleasantly lit by fairy lights.

L.

Lovely chips.. price for one scoop $3. I order $5 hmmmm would have fed 1 1/2 people..

L. T. A.

Beautiful restaurant with delicious kai, there is something for everyone as the chips/fries are cooked in rice bran oil (vegan friendly). The staff are friendly and proud of the food they produce. Good prices.

K.

Yummy fresh snapper and scallops in delicious crispy batter; and a cheeky pineapple fritter with cinnamon sugar. Mmmm

P. T.

More than just great fish and chips. They have a very good range of chinese food available as well. There is an area with indoor tables and seating plus outdoor tables and seating and toilets. There tartare sauce is homemade and it is absolutely the best tartare sauce i have ever had. It is worth going here just for that!.

I. Z.

Great place for a good feed in Rotorua. Sick of junk food, or you want to experience some fine kitchen? - then pay a visit. Well worth the dollar. All is fresh. Nice sitting area. Great service. Thanks guys! Will be back on my next visit to Rotovegas. A+++++

G.

On recent trip to NZ called into Oppies I can say with comfort best crumbed fish I have ever had,being 70 I have had plenty.Lovely clean shop and when customers left their table and floor area was cleaned by staff almost immediately, staff very friendly

J. R.

Fresh cooked fish and a good variety of options. Travelling across the world definitely some of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had and definitely a nice, affordable and simple meal or snack :)

M.

Wait was too long and food was too oily.

S.

Awesome food and value. Best I've had in a while. Suggest online ordering as wait times in store could be long.

F.

The best takeaway so far.

l.

Was a mean as dinner for me and my love

T. C.

Fave fnc. Had 1 negative experience in all my years but have noticed that server has never been up front again. Great chips. My all time fave purchase is a fish burger (without cheese). Best fish burger is town. You get proper battered fish in it...not some processed nasty pattie. It's huge and deelish. Makes me hungry thinking about it.

K.

For a place claiming to be New Zealand's best chip shop, you'd expect them to have more reliable parking and be able to serve customers at a decent pace, but it took over 30 minutes to complete my order. Food was nice, though.

D.

Good place, nice food, reasonably quick service, not there cheapest but portion sizes are good.

T.

Really nice. Got extra snapper and they didn't sell vinegar but the person behind the counter went out of his way and made us up a small tub =)

D.

I don't usually comment on Facebook about things but i must admit that that is the best fish and chips we have had in many years. Thank you.

R.

Great service, large portions and big selection at reasonable price.

J. H.

I won a voucher to use at Oppies. First time having takeaways there. Our order was fast.my mussel fritter however was under cooked. A very busy warm place. However being a local and having to pay for it l would not order from Oppies again.

M. K.

It may be a small fish and chips shop but the quality of fish served is great and the oysters and other shellfish and asian style foods are outstanding. Thank you for the wonderful meals that were provided.

G.

Love this place. Our regular takeaways. Amazing selection and quality. They get very busy at times because they are soo good. I recommend ordering on line on their great website.

A. K.

Basically one of the best or the best Chinese in Rotorua. Always go there every time I'm in the city cos Fat Dog is good but has been done to death. And sometimes you just need something greasy and easy. 10/10 would get greased up again

W.

Food is always excellent and fresh. Well presented both take away and dine in. The premises are always clean with plenty of space. We always come here when in Rotorua. It's a must

M.

Best place for meals, they really are the best and deserve 5 star ratings, if your feeling hungry and can only afford certain amount of stuff, this is the place to go. They have an online app and delivery option, so there is no need to leave your home, just go to the app, make your order for pick up or delivery, and barista (Made fresh for you in just under 15 minutes tops)

D. C.

Thought I'd grab some sweet n sour pork last minute. Walked in just after 6pm and was met with a whole heap of people waiting for their orders. Ordered and asked wait time -it was 20 to 15min. It was on time. The meal was huge and value for money ($14),as I had enough for lunch the next day. Just the right amoint of sauce with lots of meat. Tasty as. Could've done with abit more carrot and celery, but now I'm being pedantic. Well worth it. There's a reason there were lots of peolpe at Oppies... Definitely recommend and will be back.

N.

The burgers are the best I've ever tasted ,big and juicey,worth the money ,I'm definitely going back and telling everyone about it

J. F.

Amazing fish and chips and the honey bbq pork mean as the thing i loved about the meal was everything was cooked perfectly from the steam veg with its crunch and color to the fish that was insanely moist and chips I'd be willing to fight someone over.... this place just gives me another reason to come to rotorua again. Two thumbs and

B. M.

One of the best places i visited for oysters. Super fresh and very big!! Would highly recommend the freshness of the seafood here. And a big thumbs up to the chinese man who greeted me in Maori.

R.

Definately a great spot. Great store super clean and top food.

J. W.

Super fresh quality fish with a choice. Very cheap. Clean as clean. I'm from Wellington and this place is head and tails better than the best down there.

B.

Amazing fish burger, chips were OK, place was lovely. Didn't have to wait long. Friendly staff. All round decent place.

D. E.

I thought the fish would be exceptional as this shop came with my friend's recommendations, but unfortunately the fish was not as hot once we reached home about 10+ mins later and the Kumar a fries were soggy and lukewarm. The customer service was very good and helpful though, so I may give them another chance.

S.

I got fish and chips from here 2 nights in a row they were quite good. They have won a few awards and are apparently the number 1 fish and chip shop in nz so there not to bad

R. A.

Always preorder as they can take a long time and parking is very limited. Tarakihi fish and chips most favourable. Supa sausages are the tastiest. Burgers are exceptional. You pay 2% extra for credit card payments which is very sad considering the awards being won. So overall not a great scoring it lacks for location and extra charges.

F.

Their chips is very good. No wonder they got their chip championship. Highly recommended. Must try. Their fish and lamb soup is very good too.

J. Z.

Great service and innovative food! The people who rated lower stars, maybe you've ordered the wrong dish? Let the manager give you recommendations! Will definitely go there again. :)

M.

Not the best takeaways as they claim, a wide range of food to choose from. wasn't to keen on the Battered burger patties. But overall was ok.

j.

Great menu but food wasnt that great and staff not that understanding to quitily complaints....raw steak in burger and watery egg fu yong

C. H.

Absolutely delicious food, with very generous serving sizes! Quite pricey but not enough to take away from the food quality. Good WiFi and excellent customer service.

J.

Awesome Fush & Chups - rated as New Zealand's no. 1 its certainly fantastic value and a great place to grab a quick bite. If you're not up for the quintessential Sunday night dinner staple, then maybe some cuisine from the Orient? There is a large range of Chinese cuisine also offered from Oppies. Staff were friendly and helpful - letting us know that one dish may take 30mins to prepare when we were after a quick bite. The food it self is awesome portion size - I should have split the 'snack' box with my wife, we had one each, thinking it was a mere snack. Each box is a set meal and is high on flavour, value for money and customer satisfaction. Definitely worth it!

R. M.

Was ok. Didn't really live up to the hype. Was not nice being served by a sweating man taking his shirt off, wiping his face, putting it back on. Food was yum but could.go to other places here with the same quality seafood for.much cheaper.

B.

Good food but pricey

Y.

Wonderful place! Delicious food and nice service! Definitely is a must-go place in Rotorua. We really enjoy our time here, nice environmental atmosphere, beautiful as well.

G.

Excellent fish and chips staff friendly and shop clean and tidy My go to in Rotorua when passing through well worth visit

B.

Fish and chips are a bit different in New Zealand then in the UK but l really liked these also this place was voted the best fish and chip shop in New Zealand so that can't be bad you can eat in here if you want

F.

Very good Chinese food. It is not a great dining place but they also market it openly that it is a takeaway place. They do have 3-4 tables. Food is very good and portions are big and good for two adults. Also, service is fast.

D.

Well presented .you can eat in and I might next time. Bit more expensive.not entirely worth the extra cost but definitely more classy than the average take away fish n chips. Also sells Chinese food

J.

Fine, good fish and chips, but not a fan of the seafood

K. H.

Good food and prices. Service okay bring your own carry bag because they will hand you hot food in plastic containers, you only get a cardboard box if you have a large order.

D.

Purchased a huge fish and chips order for visiting relatives. order was sorted in a reasonable timeframe..suggestion..eating oppies fiah and chips and other seafood variety (fried squid amd scallop egg fu yong) by blue lake, it was awesome..nothing beats eating a good ol good fried food in front of a majestic view

t.

I haven’t had fish and chips in a long time, and Oppies helped to satisfy my craving. It stalls like a chipper when you walk in so you know you’re in for a good treat. The chips looked as though they were home made but uniform cuts were a dead giveaway - nothing wrong with that. They have a selection of fish for battering - gurnard, terakihi, snapper, John Dory, etc., which is a nice option if you’d like upgrades. Fresh oysters are available when they are in season. Plus all the other usual fryer dunkable selections of sausages, hotdogs on a stick, donuts, fritters of banana/pineapple/potato/Paua/mussels/oysters, all coated in their signature batter. Even though it’s wrapped up in a usual paper bundle, don’t let this fool you. Your order will still retain its individual taste.

J.

Although this fish and chip shop has won many awards over the years, the food is average at best. Every time I have been here, they have failed to live up to the awards.

H.

Nice Fish and Chips well cooked and speedy service being it was busy. Menu well set out and very readable with heaps of options from kiwi favorites to modern Asian foods.

M.

Ordered Chinese takeaways delivered promptly to our Motel door. Portions large and fresh vegs. Yummy. Highly recommend

L.

Very good fish and chip shop , very lovely employees ,food was nice and hot , BUT crab stick was tasteless , guy who served us id let him take me on a date to oppies and id be very happy id even kiss him afterwards 😍

M.

Nice fish and chips and Asian style food. Chips not too fat or smell of fish. Fish good quality 😊

E.

J.

You can get better takeaways at Auckland for 1/4 less of the price!

S.

Excellent friendly service. Punnets of Kina, Oyster, and Paua was exactly what we were looking for 😋 The meals are delicious and affordable I'd recommend Oppies to anyone 👍💙

A. A.

the fish shop takeaway i have seen yet. this place has a big variety of food. the fish and chips is awesome. takeaway time is decent and food is cheap. he has won a number of awards. must try this place

D.

Didn't get F&C's but had Chinese. Fried squid was oily and damp, couldn't finish it. Fried rice was OK as were fried wantons but having to pay for sauce felt stingy.

B.

Good place! We were 11 people to eat there. Served quite fast and a good quality of food, fresh fish! There is not a lot of place the eat there, but we manage to eat on small tables.

S.

Went to Oppies for dinner last night and it was a great meal and they have good parking as well 👌

J.

Nice place cheap too and the food is just lovely...best fish n chips ...no wonder they were voted #1 and they have a stunning new shop / restaurant....lovely change.

O.

Friendly service with a smile. Clean, spacious place, dine in options or take it away. I got chinese takeaway, value wise, more than enough in the dish bought.

O.

Absolutely loved that they have punnets of shelled mussels that aren't marinated. The fresh snapper and chips was reka! Affordable prices too!

J.

Very nice... Well cooked fresh fish. Plenty of variety. I look forward to trying the Chinese menu.

c.

Fish & chips are exceptional very good Good service would definitely call in next time there

Very good fish and chips. Great range of other meals too. Excellently cooked oysters. Still sweet and jucy inside batter.

R.

Fresh snapper. Light crunchy batter. Very tasty and fair price. Definitely recommend

K. S.

Great fish and chips, best chips I‘ve ever had Fish and lamb soup is soooo tasty, it’s a must try.

K.

Absolute over hyped! Pretty average food. The price is not cheap - I give it a 3 stars because the duty manager had great customer service and make sure you've been served.

c.

Good fish and chips.

k.

I was there, but not for take aways,so not sure

M.

One of THE best Fish and Chip restaurants in all of N.Z. Owner is so warm and nice!!! We ate here as many times as we could while touristing Rotorua!!

A.

Great Chinese (pork belly rice) and oysters were soooo fresh. I wish this was a local place for us and that we were not just visiting. Well done to the team. A great feed.

C.

Excellent food. Lovely warm atmosphere for sit down meals. Takeaway options. Delivery and online ordering. A bit pricey but worth it.

G.

Oppies is always quite good. Nice staff too

C.

I'm a bit of a Kai warrior this place is seriously yummy and not greasy army makes love this place

李.

Good oyster and fried rice.

D. W.

Excellent customer service - dealt with our large group with grace. Chips were excellent, pork belly was crispy and delicious.

c.

Found them to be very expensive For oysters but nicely cooked

C.

Good amount of food and quite satisfying taste. Chips weren't as good as expected though. Went there twice while we were staying in Rotorua for two days. Lol

M.

Best Fish and chips I've had in years. The mussels and oysters were amazing and so fresh.

J.

Best fresh fish had in a while.

B.

Good food good service. One of the menus is entirely in Chinese so don't miss that one. We don't speak Chinese or read Chinese but we were looking for the beef noodle soup. Ask him and it's on the authentic menu.

J.

It was ok, there is a holiday surcharge here. The Asian meal we had was average, a curry that had little or no sauce and was 40% celery, it was supposed to be a combination curry.

R.

One of the 5 best Fish&Chip's of New Zealand. Was great. They also serve chinese food. Few tables to eat on spot. Mostly to go.

J.

Oysters are amazing!!!! Great friendly service and excellent food. We were very impressed with this modest looking takeaway shop.

H.

Good takeaway. Have to wait 15-20mins for your order. Spacious and has waiting tables and chairs. Almost all chinese food available. Outside tables available, so you can sit outside and eat.

A.

Quick and great service, looks nice. Fish and chips were good, fried rice was undercooked. Would defs go again.

F.

There fish is absolutely yum and not over cooked. There chips are definitely the best chips I've ever had...and I've had heaps of chips. There Chinese is yum yum yum.

T.

Good food decent prices

K.

We got fish and chips, although it was more $$ than your usual, the fish was beautifully fresh and good ammount of chips!! Would recommend 100%

R.

The fish & chips were a little too oily. The combination fried rice was so-so. The fried squid rings are pretty good.(Oily but good)

M. P.

Their fish & chips are very tasty and not greasy. Service is quick too. Very busy business and lovely people.

D.

The food was good, and the chips were especially delicious. The toilets could do with a good clean though hence the 4 stars

Cooked the way I like it, not over done or greasy or tainted Chinese smell and taste through our fish and chips, perfect mussels every time, loves his rugby too.

P.

Just had fish and chips but cooked fresh and enjoyed. Worth a visit

t.

My gosh that has to be the best fish & egg burger I have ever had

M.

Pork bbq was a bit dry. Meat of the pork dumplings too small, others fallen off the wrapper and too oily. Calamares too oily too. Sweet and sour pork, chopsuey, and kumara nuggets were good.

D.

Didn't disappoint, good portion size dish, and nicely done

j.

Great fish and chips! Even the Chinese food is great! Will go back again and again for the service and the food!

X.

Nice food.

B.

Oppies Fish & Chips is a Rotorua food destination establishment. Frequently rated the best fish & Chips shop in the region, Oppies welcomes all to savour its abundant range of seafood delicacies.

The food and staff are amazing. Love the upgraded parking area. Feels homely. Well done!

P.

I will be definitely going back for their battered mussels! The kids loved their battered sausages they asked for more and barely touched the chips.

K.

I must admit to being a bit disappointed by Oppies considering it boasts the best chips in New Zealand. While the fish was quite nice the chips were a bit soggy and just overall average.
