Ma and pa restaurant run by a lovely Chinese couple. This place is surprising. Just plain old hamburger fare and Chinese food. Quality is great and value is superb. Don't let the run down appearance fool you.this place is clean...but bring cash as they don't take anything else.

Cash only. Adorable husband and wife owned and operated with great customer service. Home made food. Cheapest price in town. Recommend Chinese food or breakfast. Food is decent, nothing special, but if you are looking for something simple to fill you up at an unbeatable price then this is the place. Thank you for the good food and wonderful service.

It's like stepping into the past, the food is excellent and the family that has run this restaurant since before I was born are wonderful. It's a cash only restaurant that does good breakfast and fish and chips and even better Chinese food. The price is super reasonable and come quick and fresh everytime.

This is a very efficiently run restaurant, you see your food prepared and cooked. Had the 2 piece cod meal. We left very full, chips and fish were great, fish was very hot including the last bite. I will definitely be back.

It's a great place to eat fish and chips if you're on a budget. Wednesday night is 8.99 for 6 pcs of fish. Geez

I was hesitant at first, the area is in transition and the main building was a tired 1970’s strip mall across from a graffiti plaster shuttered mall of similar age but less fortunate. Alongside a laundromat, dog grooming studio and an ice cream shop here sat the Marble Arch Fish and Chips. As it turned out it was just what I was looking for. A mom and pop restaurant that has been in business for over 16 years. Nothing fancy but clean and authentic. These places are few and far between. I ordered two pieces of cod and chips, the portions were large and the chips hand cut. Typical battered fish not greasy and tasted very good. The price was about the same as a White Spot but the portions were larger. Cash only here at this retro restaurant. Various combo Chinese meals advertised on hand written sign. I would rather spend my money on a family operated restaurant than a corporate restaurant anytime. Thanks for the friendly service and nostalgia.
