Ambassador Fish and Chicken is beloved by many, as reflected in its diverse customer reviews.

“ My go to is the whiting fish sandwich, buy sometimes can be a hit or miss deal because the seasoning might be a little light and needs condiments. One of the best collard greens u will come across. 4.5 rating ”
“ So the last time I got some shrimp here. The jumbo shrimp was awful. Like it was just not good for consumption at all. Why they served it,probably cause they thought they could get away with it. Nah.... I live 3 minutes from them. So they did kindly exchange it. Gave me the 20 Lil ass shrimp. Cause they jumbo shrimp obviously went bad. So I'm like what a cool compensation cause yall know you did me wrong. Soooo. The shrimp they gave me was probably worse, and GUYS, I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION. LIKE THE SHRIMP YOU REPLACED IT WITH WAS JUST AS BAD IF NOT WORSE. MAYBE THE CHICKEN IS FOOD, BUT AT THIS POINT I JUST DON'T TRUST THIS AMBASSADORS. MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE WENT TO THE ONE ON South Orange ”
“ The food is very tasty. They are always very busy. There is no sit-in dining. You have to pay for a cup of ice full price as the price of a cup of soda. But, there are other small businesses that also do this to be fair. They are a little pricey. It's not too bad. ”
“ I had a great experience. I wanted some fried whiting so, I ordered the #73 which is 2 pieces of whiting, 4 medium shrimps, rice or French fries;I opted for the rice which was seasoned very good and a can soda. I ordered over the phone on a Friday evening and by the time I got there it was just done and all I had to do was pay and pick out my can soda. The young lady behind the counter was very friendly and pleasant!! I will be coming back to try the catfish.. GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION AMBASSADORS OF NEWARK!! ”
“ I really do love it so much right now and never going to let that delicacy go. Sharing is truly caring along with the cake and the crumbs. When the GOODWILL RESCUE MISSION reopens after a temporary March 2020 closure, a full course meal from the restaurant would be a blessing. ”
“ The place looked a little shabby but I must say that the wings were excellent. Cooked just right (in clean oil) ”
“ This place is serving up some of the best fried chicken wings for sure! The only problem w/ this joint is the location and the wings could be bigger. Do yourself a favor by placing your order online and ordering a few extra wings because their delicious. ”
“ Best wings in Essex County! Periodt! I get the plain full wings. I got the rice once. It was over seasoned and salty. Who puts raw seasonings on rice after cooking it? Gross. I also got the collards once. Pretty good. It’s about the wings though. It’s all about the wings!! ”
