What do customers say?

Captain Fish Ipoh draws steady praise for its fish and chips, desserts, and friendly servers. Diners often name staff members who explained the menu well. The 4.4 rating from 673 Google reviews backs up a mostly happy customer base.

A few visitors found the batter oily or the fish flavour different from an earlier visit. One 2-star review described loud blending and a fly landing on food. Portions of fish and chips are on the small side, so hungry diners may want extra.
