The food was incredibly tasty, and the atmosphere was ideal for families. I had dinner there, and the cost was over $100 per person. I gave the food a perfect score of 5, as well as the service and atmosphere. I highly recommend trying the Spicy Fish Fillet, Mapo Tofu, Salt and Pepper Squid, Sautéed String Beans, Scallion Pancakes, and Whole Fish. Be sure to check out the menu for even more delicious choices!

The food was decent, servers are kind and friendly, the ambiance great. At the end, they offered Yakults in the house with a cute little snake stuffy for the 2025-year of snake-sweet surprise. They have pretty great appreciation discount policy as well. Would definitely come back to try more stuff on their menu. Price per person: $20–30

I ordered the basa filets with spicy sauce along with a hot and sour soup. Both were quite spicy and absolutely delicious! I definitely plan to return to try some other dishes.

Highly recommend spicy chicken, house special ribs, cumin lamb, dry pot cabbage and of course any of the hot fishes! W Drive a half hour eachway to eat here and it is always worth the trip!

We were hoping for it to be like our favorite place's chongquing chicken but it was less spicy than we expected. We alsogot the dan dan noodles, which were okay compared to my previous experience at other places.

I must say, the decor is quite impressive—it's one of the more attractive Chinese restaurants I've experienced. We ordered several dishes to share, starting with the Dan Dan noodles. However, the sauce was too thick and reminded me of peanut sauce. We also tried tofu, string beans, and a chicken dish, but unfortunately, all of them were just average. For our main course, we ordered the Baja fish in chili oil sauce, but that didn't win me over either; it was overwhelmed by too many peppercorns. The service was good, but the food didn’t live up to my expectations. I know of better options in the area.

We accidentally ordered three spicy dishes alongside one mild option, and by the end of our meal, our mouths were definitely on fire. However, every dish was absolutely delicious, and the bonus of being a BYOB establishment is fantastic!

I also had the beef drunken noodles, which turned out to be quite bland and really needed more flavor. After spending $50 on these two dishes, I was left feeling disappointed and didn’t think it was worth the price.

The food is outstanding, but it’s essential to appreciate authentic Sichuan cuisine, as it tends to be quite spicy. read more The food is outstanding, but it’s essential to appreciate authentic Sichuan cuisine, as it tends to be quite spicy.

The staff was incredibly friendly and genuine; when we asked if we had ordered too much food, they graciously suggested that we might have gone overboard, but we decided to stick with our choices anyway. This resulted in us taking home a bag of leftovers, and we’ll definitely heed their advice next time! In summary, 'Hot Fish' boasts a diverse menu with a range of delicious dishes. Having recently moved from Jersey City, it had been a while since we found a spot that serves spicy fish, lamb, frog, and other tasty items all in one place. It's truly a hidden gem in the local dining scene, and I hope it continues to thrive. We will definitely be returning for another visit!
