I'm surprised at some of the somewhat negative comments about this place. Albeit I only ever come here for lunch, and true enough, it has more a local milk bar retro look about it that is suitably more for lunch than dinner (think metal tables and high stools).
But apart from that, what really counts here is the food. I'm not overly a fan of deep fried fish, and yet I find myself coming back here for their juicy moist fish fillets coated in a wonderfully crisp and fluffly batter without leaving that oily deep fried residue that fried food can often leave.
The textural contrast is amazing, and I have never tasted anything like it. I'm sure it must be a secret recipe they keep tightly under their lids. It is by far the best fish and chips in Sydney, and I also always get takeaway which means it is cheaper still about $9.50 I think for a box of chips, 2 fillet fish, lemon and their own homemade tartare sauce.
Its a shame thought that their chips is very standard, and when asked we were told they just the normal frozen variety. Tartare sauce comes in a generous serve, and has a nice homemadeness about it, although I do like mine to be a little more tart. I've also tried their fish cake, which has a lot of asian influences in it and texturally resemble a meat patty? so don't expect it to be anything like those thai fish cakes you normally get. So the place has its flaws, but its a good thing that their fish is just too darn good for me not to come back.

I've heard some fabulous things about this place and always see it packed when I drive by. Decided to go there on sat night and got there just before 6 pm so we got a place straight away. Within 15 minutes, there wasn't a spare seat in the house. I shared the scallops for entree which were ok and had the garlic prawns with wedges for main. Soooo oily and garlic was very overpowering (and I love my garlic).
Service was unfriendly also and not very efficient. I was so disappointed with my meal as I always pick "safe" dishes and they may not be outstanding but are always edible. This wasn't edible unfortunately. My husbands fish with Pine nuts and grapes was not too bad though.

First time and loved it. We just had take away and will be back to eat in. We had Szechuan prawns with a green papaya salad (really excellent) plus fish and chips. We both didn't speak for the 20 minutes it took us to it. Great food. Really quick and efficient service also.

We went for a meal at Mohr recently even though friends had mentioned that it wasn't as good as it used to be. Meals were very average and there was a live grub in our salad. I pointed this out politely to the girl serving. I didn't mind the grub being there but did mind still being charged. Won't be back as a result. Go somewhere else in surry hills. Heaps better.

A great little hole in the wall that we frequent when we're after an easy, quick meal and drink. The restaurant isn't much to look out from the outside, but it's conveniently located next to the shakespeare pub so you can have a drink whilst waiting for a table to become available.
The fish is always fresh and the complimentary bread is a nice touch for a place that is all about low maintenance service. Love the calamari and the changing combination of seafood and seasonal fruit/vege's.
Must try the lemon tart, at room temperature is amazing and will leave you licking your plate in the end for more!

Like most reviewers, I agree its a strange little place, probably not everybodys cup of tea, its weird wouldn't say the food is divine, but I've always had a good solid meal and their chips are yum! Its great having a beer at the Shakespeare. Cute and quirky, worth a go!

The fish cakes are oily, rubbery and dry. They do not even taste like fish! The fish (grilled) was overcooked and again rubbery. We threw our food in the bin outside and went to have a pub meal at the hotel across the road, much better value!

We've visited 7 or 8 times in the last 6 years and always enjoyed it. It is quirky but tiny and serves a pretty interesting range of seafood dishes from great dumpling soup and thai style fish cakes trough to quite sophisticated fish mains of many varieties. Plain old fish and chips is a treat of at least the same standard as I've had (and paid twice as much for) at Doyles Watsons Bay.
I'm really surprised by some of the poor reviews below, my experiences have been very enjoyable and its really nice to find something just that little bit different but such great value and even if it is busy, just the wait, with friends and a beer or 2 in the Shakespeare Pub across the lane is a treat in itself.

Always take away, as it is cheaper, and I love the salad/chips that it comes with!
Dine in may be tight as it is always packed. Tartare sauce is beautiful!
