If you have never tried New Zealand cuisine, you should order a table and try the menu at this restaurant. Make a change from your habitual meal and taste perfectly cooked smoked fish, fish & chips and scallops at The Smokehouse. Try tasty ice cream.

Many visitors find that the staff is knowledgeable at this place. A number of guests suppose that the service is fine. Here you will pay low prices. As a lot of reviewers notice, the atmosphere is dull. This spot is not highly appreciated by Google users who provided it a below average rating.

Really good battered fish. Portions for chips feed two people quite easily. Wait time was 20mins on a Saturday at 7pm. Menu on Google was updated, have attached current menu displayed in shop. Gluten free options, including batter, available. Gluten free options options all fried in separate friers. Would definitely recommend getting takeaway and eating at the Rimu Bar across the street.

I can’t believe some of the very bad reviews on here. I came back today with some trepidation after not eating here for three years because of the terrible reviews. I was expecting the place to have gone downhill but I couldn’t have been more wrong. It was as delicious as ever and I do not believe they are using frozen fish. Please disregard some of the bad reviews and come and try for yourself, I really loved their fish and chips and I coming back tomorrow in fact! PS I come from the north east of England where we know a thing or two about good fish and chips. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch

I love the smoke house. We always get food here in Mapua. Sometimes I bring people out here just for the food. The fish and chips and ice creams are absolutely sensational. Staff are grumpy to be honest, but the food makes up for that and sometimes it's a bit comedy. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

One onion ring is $1.30. Literally. I'm from Canada and that was very strange to me. One regular sized onion ring. Also, paying per ketchup packet and tarter sauce when buying fish and chips isn't normal for me. The cost of the fish, however, was great. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

My partner and I shared a half scoop of chips (with a ketchup packet for $0.50 extra) and two gurnard fillets. We spent around ~$23. At the time that we ordered, there were 4 different fish that you could choose from. The service was quick and there is a clock behind the order counter that tells you how long your estimated wait time will be (ours was about 30 minutes on a Sunday evening). The fish and chips does not come with any dipping sauces or lemon, but there is extra salt and bottles of malt vinegar on the tables. The chips were well salted and thoroughly cooked and the fish was perfectly breaded and fried (not to soggy or crispy). Everything was very tasty! I would highly recommend stopping here for fish and chips if you're in Mapua. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I grew up in a fish and chip shop so I know my stuff, and The Smokehouse Café is great. We had the basic deep sea cod and kumara chips and they were all done to perfection AND there is malt vinegar on the tables. The only minor miss is the spring roll pastry was overly thick, but overall I was quite impressed. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The fish (ribaldo) and chips here are top notch! Perfectly battered and crispy. Even though it was fried, the fish felt light and not overly greasy. 5/5 recommend! We enjoyed our meal over beers next door at the Rimu Wine Bar & Bottle Shop. Service Take out Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The fish and chips were absolutely amazing, the chips were fried to perfection, and the squid rings and shrimp were faultless. Portions were good too. Extremely unfortunate that the staff were not up to par. They didn't smile when we were ordering and seemed annoyed that we were deciding what to order. When asked if they have water, we found out that they didn't have cups so couldn't even give us water! We then asked if there were any room temperature water bottles out back that we could grab instead of the cold ones on display and they just said no - seems unlikely that they don't have any extra water? As the building and atmosphere was really nice, it was quite disappointing, it was really confusing because it was almost like they were treating customers like a fast food quick restaurant, yet the restaurant itself doesn't give off this vibe at all.

Staff were lovely. But unfortunately has to be the worst Fish and Chips we’ve ever had. When we asked what was the freshest fish they had, the staff member rattled off the fish on the board. We presumed it was all fresh. Our bad! We now see via the reviews that all of this shops fish is frozen. The most bizarre thing ever considering they are based at a wharf. Also, waaaay over priced for frozen fish. Very disappointing. Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 2
