Jo-Klassen's Grill - Courtenay

I have to say that I don't go to Allentown much and this shopping center has seen better days and really who wants to read about another Chinese Buffet? But

For an all you can eat Chinese restaurant with a full sushi bar and flat top BBQ, you really can't beat it.

Best chinese place in the area and maybe even best i've ever eatenGreat selection with changes to some everyday to keep variety.

Really Fine Fish!. We have visited this restaurant nearly every time we are on Vancouver Island. Living in Whitehorse, Yukon, we eat lots of freshly caught fish. Jo Klassen's is the best fish we have found anywhere south of home!<br/ <br/ We arrived back here last night to visit with family and friends for Christmas, and JKs will definitely be one place we stop at. : <br/ <br/ Ted

We went to Jo Klassen's this evening (Saturday) for a family gathering and celebration. There was 18 of us who came in at 5pm. So I am just writing about Marla and my orders but the others felt pretty much the same way. The ambience is utilitarian and not all that out of the ordinary for a strip mall location. But I would say that this is the kind of place that focuses more on the food and the service than it does on the tables and chairs.Marla and I opted to share the Halibut and Chips order. I don't eat very much and I really didn't have the option on the menu to have just a single piece of fish so I was glad they allowed us to share. I don't eat chips or coleslaw but Marla liked hers. She especially liked the freshly cut potatoes. I did taste them and thought they could have been cooked a bit more to get them a little crispier. But frankly, they were great as presented.I had a cup of clam chowder which was okay. It was good but I don't think I would order it again. I would definitely go back to Jo Klassen's for more outstanding fish and chips.
