Great tasting food, amazing customer service, price very reasonable. Fish was definitely 10/10, appetizers are 10/10 as well, the grilled skewers are probably the only one that is 5/10

My family and I have come here a bunch of times, and we always love it! It's nice that there are complimentary nuts/snacks when you first get seated, and the ambiance is lively with the music videos playing on the back wall. Between the four of us, we usually get a 2lb fish with rice and a couple skewers plus a side dish. Typically we get the stripe bass, but this time we tried the buffalo fish. I absolutely love their spicy flavors for the fish, and we always get the golden combination for the veggie add-ins. Our favorite side dish is the hot oil clam (hot meaning spicy, the dish is actually cold), and the texture is always perfect! The only reason this review isn't a five star is just because the skewers are nothing special, and we've tried nearly all of them trying to find one we really loved. Highly recommend getting a spicy garlic fish!

A bit pricey, but huge portion sizes make it worth it! It's a one-of-a-kind experience, almost like hot pot but for whole fish. You choose your broth and toppings. They also have great appetizers like spicy marinated pig ears (highly recommend) and sliced beef. The garlic broth is my whole family's favorite- packed with flavor! The service is quick and attentive.

Returning for a second visit, I once again enjoyed the cool vibes and music videos playing in the background. The fish dish stood out with its excellent preparation and customizable ingredients like enoki mushrooms and lotus roots. Other dishes, like grilled eggplants and skewers, were also satisfying. However, the drinks, mainly slushies, didn't quite meet expectations. They quickly separated into layers and were overly sweet. Despite this, [Restaurant Name] remains a solid choice for its delicious food and lively atmosphere.

First of all, I want to tell you that this place is so wonderful in every way from the food to the people working there. The service is impeccable. The waiters are so attentive and friendly. The food is as authentic as it can get and very flavorful and fresh. My family and I have been going there for more than 5yrs since the day they opened. I don't usually write reviews but this is one restaurant that I keep coming back almost once every 2 wks. The ambiance is comfortable and clean and has a very upbeat vibe. We have tried everything on the menu over the years and we love the spicy frogs and garlic-flavored fish the most. If you haven't tried this place out yet, I highly recommend to give this place a chance. You won't be disappointed!!

Not my first rodeo here, but the person seating me was baffled that I was here to dine alone. She warned me thrice about the big portions. I really wanted this and did not have company that night and decided not to wait for another time. I got the barramundi spicy tofu pudding with the golden combination (potato, lotus root, enoki mushrooms and kelp) with a side of the BBQ eggplant. I've been here before and have the best things to say about the fish - usually 2 lb (or 4 lb) in a hot pot base with your toppings of choice. Rice is ordered after your fish appears (interesting that it's $1 at the table but double when ordered to go). Top notch fish and everything in it. The eggplant BBQ was delicious - grilled eggplant with a mix of garlic + spice rub. Perfect compliment. I dined by myself and took home plenty of food to go. The music is loud but who doesn't enjoy that! I'll be back again, hopefully with more people so I can try more stuff.

Food: we ordered the sea bass with chili oil. It was perfect amount for four people. The skewers were also tasty- I liked the beef and squid. The dumpling I wouldn't order again...they taste like the ones you can make at home from the frozen package. Interior: Plenty of seating area, but I can see it getting busy on a weekend. Service: they were quick to seat us and were at tentative on refilling our tea. They also offered to bag our jackets, so the jackets wouldn't absorb the spice scent, which was awesome. Also they provided bibs for each person to protect our clothing.

Very authentic Sichuan cuisine. The restaurant was full with a 30 minute wait and I observed 100% of the patrons being from China. That should be a sign that this food is satisfactory for their palate, it's nothing like the greasy yuck you get from Chinese takeout. Some of the dishes are indistinguishable from what you get in Sichuan province. I am not sure but I think there is a sister restaurant in Mianyang. There are many items on the menu, such as pig brain and bullfrog, that may scare off people unfamiliar with Sichuan cuisine. It would be nice to have a menu for non Chinese that lists more familiar dishes described in English. Some sections of the menu are not even translated. However the servers were very helpful and patient with translation and recommendations. I would absolutely return here for the grilled fish. The price isn't bad either, 80 bucks and 3 of us were stuffed and had leftovers

I'll be honest I was a bit confused of what this place offered. It wasn't hot pot. But with a high rating I was curious. Pros: - You can put yourself on a waitlist. You can check your status and it lets you know how many parties are ahead of you. I loved this since it lets me walk around the area since Hmart is right next door. Once they text you when your table is ready, you must confirm and then they give you 5 min to arrive. Pretty smooth - Staff was very friendly especially Tina. Very helpful on what to decide since it was our first time there. - BYOB YESSS! - Plenty of parking - Complimentary starter (different kinds of nuts) and ending it with complimentary dessert (its like a gelatin (aka grass jelly) with I think it was evaporated milk) - If you spend $120 you can choose a flavored drink that comes in a dispenser. We got the mango it was good... it's sparkling water - Must try a fish. We had the salmon with the garlic sauce... broth was delicious Cons: - lots of vegetables that you must order with the fish I wasn't familiar with. I wanted Bok Choy and broccoli they didn't have it surprisingly - did not like the roasted squid at all. Seasoning wasn't good and it wasn't as tender. Presentation was horrible. - Try to sit in the middle or at the end if in a booth so the smoke from the sterno is not hitting you So you must try a fish it's what their known for. There's 3 steps: 1. Pick a fish (I'd like to visit again and try the bass.) 2. Pick a sauce (I really liked the garlic flavor) 3. Pick your vegetables (it was 6 of us and they recommended 4 to choose from) When the fish and veggies come to you, they ask you to wait for it to heat up.. it's like a sterno on steroids. Watch out for that smoke.. If you're sitting in a booth, don't sit in the inside because you'll need a shower to wash all that smell off of you lol. Salmon was good and they gave us 6 pieces! Perfect for us! Like I said I LOVED the garlic sauce. And the veggies we selected were: - Chinese cabbage - Asparagus lettuce (wasn't a fan) - Cauliflower (I liked a lot) - Kelp (supposedly this was Keto but not 100% sure it was actually good) My side faves were: -Chinese fried rice -Steamed dumplings Corn came in sticks, beef skewers and chicken they all were just ok. Looks like they have a karoke machine but didn't see anything happening on Friday night. Try it out! I'll be back!
