“ I think this store has a great environment and the service is great! This store also has a wide variety of kebabs! ”
“ Liu Roast Fish (although signage said Jade House) in City of Industry. We ordered the Qing Jiang House Special Fish, adding 2 side items in it. Other cultures have very similar roasted fish, but with brown gravy sauce, for example, like the Brazilians and Portuguese. Well, this is the Northeastern China version. I liked that the fish came out hot in a heated pan. The sauce/taste is unique, kind of like sweet & sour mixed with spicy. We asked for mild spicy, but it still had some kick to it. If it's too mild or no spicy, then I think the taste would be altered too much from its original intended taste and it wouldn't taste right. Other reviewers said fresh fish is used, and I'm not sure if it's a seasonal thing. However, we went in late November, and my significant other clearly asked for fresh fish in their native language. The waitress said the fish served was previously frozen but just as good as fresh. I thought about it, of course, no way can a restaurant provide fresh fish for the $49 price point. The order was large, enough for us 2. We took out the leftovers and had another meal at home, a 2 for 1 meal deal. Lol. The service was good, waitress came around to refill water/tea without us having to ask. ”
“ A small, unassuming restaurant that specializes in Chinese style roast fish. It has a modest storefront with a no-frills interior, providing minimal service. You create your own roast fish platter with choice of sauce, spicy level, and add-ons. It's recommended to choose at least 4-5 add-ons for best tasting. They also have skewers and other dishes. We ordered the house special Qing Jiang fish and added a few extra items, more than enough for two people. The roast fish tastes good and unique. We also ordered the green onion pancake. However, they were deep fried instead of grilled, disappointed. This place is not so busy so you can eat and enjoy a nice conversation with friends and family. ”
“ If you are going to order the fish, don't order the mala ban, because it's the same ingredients. ”
“ **Ownership change, check in offer does not work. 9% discount for zelle, chowbus (ordering system) has a 5% cash back? Located in a plaza with many Chinese restarunts, there's a home depot around the corner with a lot more parking. Inside has plenty of seating and mainly mandarin chinese speaking. There's a karaoke machine so it's perfect for your asian parents. Ordering wise, it's a QR code but a bit confusing. There's a ton of dishes including typical Chinese food, skewers, and ofc the $50 baked fish ( which is essentially like fried fish hot pot). You order the fish which is baseline soup base ( various flavors with all adjustable spice) and add extra cost for toppings. The fish itself does not come with toppings, but it doesn't need much too. I would prioritize the fish. We got the signature jinqiang flavor which had a slightly sweet coating and jalapeño + peanuts. The cost can add up so be careful of the toppings you put in as they can vary in amount. We found the fish maw to be quite adequate. They gave us paper plates I'm guessing because the dishwasher didn't wash the plates?? I'm not sure tbh, as after us the patrons received regular dishware. Rice is a decent portion so if you aren't a rice monster then I feel like 2 bowls for 3 people is plenty. The lamb skewers were quite fatty but had that distinct skewer flavor, pretty good. The brown rice cake is a must try with a deeper caramelized flavor, still sweet, and freshly fried. They didn't really service much except water in the beginning, but the servers are nice. ”
“ Must try for a roast fish fan!! Firstly, they use only fresh fish. Next I so love you can choose your own sauce type, spice level and add ons. The add ons include protein such as prawns and a ton of veggies to choose from! There even were three types of tofu! I have never had create your own roast fish like this before and I am a fan for life!! They also offer skewers, cold dishes, fried rice, noodles and a wide range of drinks! Yes of course we did get skewers and were pleasantly surprised by the yummy seasoning and the meat was tender and juicy! Their dishes are served in good size portions and plenty to share. All in all walked away full and happy! Don't forget to check in on Yelp! I did and they offer 10% off orders of $100 or more right now. ”
“ This place offers some of the best Chinese grilled fish in LA. If you're a grilled/roast fish lover and skewers lover, you must try it out. For their roasted fish dishes they use super fresh fish and serve generous portions. You can choose your toppings and spice level--I don't eat spicy, so I ordered mine non-spicy, and it was perfect. They also offer a variety of skewers, including grilled seafood, lamb, beef, pork, chicken, and vegetable skewers, as well as a range of main dishes like zhajiang noodle and yang chow fried rice. I ordered their tang chow fried rice, tastes very good! Don't forget to check in on Yelp to receive a 10% discount on purchases over $100. The service is very fast, everything is cooked to order, and the decor is nice. The wall paintings shows the culture of roast fish in China are very cool ”
“ I had dinner here recently and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. There were a few complains for me so I'll start with that. We got the pitcher and they provided us plastic cups that weren't chill..........(just honestly come on). The other one would not a big deal would be the skewer box once you finish the skewer, you put the sticks in the box. I guess if i was gonna add this too, the chicken skewer was pretty awful(totally dont recommend it). I also wouldnt recommend the fish ball soup...taste like the instant noodle (without the noodle) Anyway, although i thought there were some red flags, it end up being pretty damn good. Of course most importantly is their Fish. Catfish + Seattle? flavor i honestly dont know cause it was ordered in chinese....but i thought the fish was very good. The few toppings obviously soaked in the sauce flavor. THe pork belly is only ok....the eggplant is pretty good. I thought the beef skewers were really good. I would come back. ”
