We dropped by for a weekend lunch and were pleased with the quick service and delicious bowls of soup. We had one bowl of green peppercorn suancai (sauerkraut) fish. It was not very spicy and had a good balance of mala and tanginess. Delicious. The crispy chicken and tomato soup very tomato forward, very kid friendly and also hearty and well enjoyed by the family. The "small" dishes looked enormous but were reasonably sized (still generous) once we realized the dishes were quite shallow. read more

I will give this place a high rating for its creativity and uniqueness of having soup with seafood. We ordered the lemon curry which tasted like Thai food. We had it with fish, bean curd, and enoki mushrooms, which were like noodles. I did not like how the bowl's depth is misleading since the bottom is raised, making it look like more food than it really is. I did not like the fried chicken -- it did not have very much seasoning and was mostly batter. I liked the orange decor of the restaurant. I also loved the orange to go containers. Order at the counter. Food is brought out. Service was pretty fast. read more

My friend who speaks Chinese says Fish With You translates to "Thinking Of Fish", and that's exactly what happened after trying this place for the first time. I had no idea this was a worldwide sensation, but after my first taste, I can see why. Perfectly smooth, salty, sour, spicy, numbing, hardy, and comforting. Also unlimited rice, just ask for refills (I'd never seen a fleet of rice cookers like that before!) Huge portions, good prices. We shared a $27 dollar bowl between the two of us, and it filled us up to the max. Their card reader wasn't working, so we had to pay in cash, but they gave us free Cokes as a result! Clean food that won't make you feel heavy, clean restaurant that seemed like it was up to a labratory's or hospital's standard. Will definitely come back. read more

Updating my review because the prices went up and portions got smaller. I am so sad about this because I have become irreconcilably addicted to this soup but cannot afford the higher cost and less food at this point in the economy. The staff is still really kind and the shop is still really clean and open. But unfortunately I had to knock off a spot because of the rise in price. read more

I was a little worried when we arrived at 6 PM on a Saturday night and the place was almost empty. But never fear, Fish With You lives up to the hype! Since we had never been before, my man and I decided to err on the side of caution as far as spice goes. We started out with the crispy squid, which came out almost immediately. Hot and delicious with just a little bit of ice spicy salt on the side. For the main course I had the lemon Basa soup and my man had the crispy chicken tomato soup. Both were advertised as not being spicy and both were absolutely fantastic. I could seriously eat that lemon soup every day! For my add-ins, I went for Inoki mushrooms and cabbage, and got a side of noodles. They also put a generous amount of tofu in the soup. It was light, tangy, refreshing, and completely satisfying. I could only eat about half of it so I took the other half home for lunch for the next day. My man's crispy chicken soup was awesome too. It had a deliciously decadent tomato soup base, a ton of fried chicken strips, and also came with a generous amount of tofu. He got rice with his, but he was jealous of my noodles. The ambience inside is kind of stark but it's clean and neat. Within 20 minutes of us getting there the whole restaurant was full so we hit it at the sweet spot on a Saturday night! I will 100% be back to this restaurant. Looking forward to trying their number one best seller next time which is advertised as being mildly spicy. read more

NGL, I was a bit hesitant to join my fiancée at Fish With You. It's not that I'm not adventurous, I was just completely unfamiliar with a menu centered on fish and cabbage soup. I was pleasantly surprised and ended up LOVING it! I ordered the Crispy Chicken with Tomato flavor soup in a regular size, and I purposely chose the no-to-mild spice level, which was delicious. My fiancée had the Tangy Lemon Basa Fish with a side of noodles. The flavor was rich and perfectly balanced - not at all overpowering. You order via a QR code at the table, but the server was still very friendly and quick with the delivery. I had heard the large portion was massive, so I stuck with the regular, and even then I could barely finish it. I only managed a few bites of my side of rice because it was so much food. If you're hesitating, just go - you'll thank me later! read more

I was a little skeptical because I didn't really understand what sauerkraut fish dishes were. To my surprise, I ended up enjoying the food here so much more than I thought and it's definitely a great comfort food when it gets cold. I ordered the Royal Tomato with Basa Fish. There's an option to upgrade to Snakehead fish but since I didn't know what the difference was, I chose the cheaper option. I also chose enoki mushrooms and napa cabbage for my two toppings. The fish was super tender and the soup was this slightly thick tomato base. I'm not really sure how to describe the flavor but it bordered between slightly sweet and savory with a hint of tanginess. We also ordered some Crispy Pork and Brown Sugar Rice Cakes. With the sides and the small portion of the main entree, this was more than enough food and I ended up taking leftovers home. Highly recommend if you've never been! read more

Ever since they opened, I've been really excited to try Fish With You. Szechuan suan cai yu soup is such a comforting meal, especially in colder weather, and I love that a restaurant specializing in this dish has opened in Convoy. I stopped by recently and was really impressed with the food. There was no wait on a Saturday afternoon and we were quickly seated. We had to scan a QR code for the menu and to place our food orders so service interaction is minimal. I love QR menus but it did make it slightly harder for the elderly people in our group to navigate and read the menu. We ordered crispy pork as an appetizer and several variations of their fish soups, all in small size, as our individual entrees. Fried pork was good but not really memorable. The real star of the show were the fish soups. We were shocked with how large the portions were. A small portion is definitely enough for one person, or even two to share, and a large portion should definitely be shared between 2-4 people. The fish was very tender and the broth was really flavorful and had the perfect balance of spicy and sour. Parking is a bit hard to find with the busy plazas but we parked in a nearby plaza and walked over. As I mentioned, service is minimal but they are friendly enough. I don't live nearby or else I would definitely come by more often. We're definitely looking forward to our next visit when we are in the Convoy area. read more

Came for lunch with a friend and decided to try the signature fish since the waitress said it was one of their most popular dishes. I was torn between that and the tomato soup, so we asked if we could sample the soup and the cook was nice enough to bring out both the tomato and signature bases for us to try. The tomato was a bit on the sour side, but the signature was good. It is a little oily, but overall I enjoyed it and i love the chewy noodles in the soup. I'd give it a solid 7/10. The portion is huge for one person. I couldn't finish my bowl, but at the same time I didn't feel super full from it either. read more

If you haven't had boiled fish (suan cai yu) before, this place is absolutely a must-try. It's one of those dishes that looks intimidating but ends up being incredibly comforting and addictive. Their signature suancai fish isn't actually that spicy, which makes it perfect even for people who can't handle a ton of heat. The broth has that tangy, savory flavor from the pickled mustard greens and a bit of Sichuan peppercorn. The quality of the fish is ridiculous. It has slight bouncy texture that you only get from well-prepared fillets. Portions are big! A large easily feeds two people, maybe even three if you add rice or a couple sides. Definitely good value for the amount of food you get. It gets really busy on weekends. People start showing up right at opening, so if you don't want to wait, go early or try weekdays. There's plenty of seating though. Service is decent. You order everything through a QR code and pour your own water, so don't expect much interaction. I'm not complaining though. Food comes out fast. read more

I crave this place now! Especially the signature suancai dish. I love the flavor of suancai and it tastes healthier with fish vs. meat, and the broth is flavorful but not too heavy. They cook the fish and all the ingredients really well, and I don't leave feeling as parched as I do with some other soup places. I also tried the tomato beef soup and it was also delicious. The tomato flavor is really distinct so if you don't like tomato soup, you probably won't like it. But I enjoyed it and would get it again. This is great cold weather / rainy day food! Service is nice and the portions are huge and a great value for the price. Even with the regular size, it could last me 2 meals. read more

Fish With You - Signature Suancai & Fish Snakehead Regular Size - Chinese Near Me - San Diego, California

Fish with you is a great place located in Convoy! They have something called sauerkraut fish which was really good! We got the sauerkraut fish and the hot beef soup, which were both really nice! I got one with rice and one with noodles and I would recommend the rice as I thought they just gave some more. We also got the fried pork side which was also amazing and I would recommend. You can order on a website at the table which I really enjoyed. The portion sizes are pretty okay. We ordered 2 of the soups and 1 side which just was enough to feed 2 people. The service was nice and they gave the food out really fast. The ambiance was clean as well. Parking was also not too difficult to find as well. It is located in a little plaza with many other restaurants there. Overall, I would recommend going here! read more

I had high hopes for this place after a friend hyped it up and the Yelp reviews looked good. But wow... what a letdown! I ordered the Signature Suancai & Fish (Large Side) and the mild crispy pork. The pork was okay, probably the only halfway decent part of the meal, and even that wasn't worth writing home about. But the Signature Suancai & Fish? HELLA SALTY. It was so aggressively over-salted I could barely eat it. The potato glass noodles in it were also undercooked; still stiff and chewy, I spat it out. The food came out in literally less than 5 minutes. That's not fast service, that's bare minimum effort. I wanted to try the glutinous rice balls, but at that point I figured the "bad chef" must've been working that day and didn't want to risk another disappointment. Don't think I'll be coming back. read more

TLDR: Yes, a large suancai fish is more than enough for TWO people, could easily satisfy 3 if there were more fish. A friend of mine brought up the idea of eating here for dinner - suancai yu? That's a new one for me, sure! Parking was fairly difficult on a weekend afternoon, but there's ample parking a block or two away, about a 5 minute walk - not too shabby. Ordering was through a QR code online, and we had their large suancai and fish as well as their brown sugar rice cake. The jelly was complimentary, which was nice. The suancai yu? Quite flavorful; the sweet and sour definitely shined through. However, the dish did become more and more salty as we ate it. Even with rice, it eventually felt a chore to eat. There also wasn't too much fish. The brown sugar rice cakes were definitely an impulsive order, and they did leave some more to be desired. They satisfied the savory part but neither the wallet nor the chewy part. The jellies with popping boba though offered at the beginning were saved until the end - the perfect dessert. Service was rather quick; once our order was sent in, we waited maybe 10 minutes tops. And the space is quite large. There weren't many people at the time, and it was relaxing to eat here - a rather stark contrast to the hashashah of the mouth surviving spicy. read more

Met up with a girlfriend for a midweek lunch, and there was no wait and plenty of open seating. The restaurant decor reflected the modernity and efficiency of the service - we ordered via QR code and each dish was brought to us as it was ready. The Regular portion of the #1 bestseller Laotan Suancai Soup - we upgraded the standard Basa fish to Snakehead - was enough for both of us to share, especially since the kind staff preemptively gave us 2 bowls of rice on the side rather than just the 1 that's officially included with the Regular option. We chose tofu and mushrooms as our mix-ins, and had nothing but praise for this signature Sichuan dish. The Yummy Crispy Pork was exactly as the title would indicate, and the Brown Sugar Glutinous Rice Cake served as a not-overly-sweet dessert option. Bang-on flavors plus bang for your buck! read more

This is my first time trying suan cai yu and I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. The broth is super flavorful and comforting during the cold weathers. The portion was pretty big and I couldn't finish the soup especially since they gave me rice in addition to the noodles. The menu is extensive and I got a little overwhelmed with all the options but it makes me want to come back to try other things on the menu. No wait time on a weekday night and the server was very friendly and attentive. Parking may be difficult in this plaza though. read more

This spot is a convoy sleeper. The name may be off putting but this spot is a heavy hitter. We had wanted to try this restaurant since this was a huge chain in Asia. We were pleasantly surprised.

Fish With You - Signature Suancai - Chinese Near Me - San Diego, California

Fish loaded with flavor! This is the most flavorful fish dish I've ever had and it was the perfect combo of spicy and tangy. They have a lot of different types of flavors to pick from with various spice levels and you get to pick from a few options what veggies/toppings to get with the fish. Rice is included with the fish dishes. We also got the crispy pork on the side which was well fried and helped take the edge off of the spice. It was really busy when we went, all the tables were full but we didn't have to wait long for one. Very efficient service here. Once we sat down our order was taken very fast and our food came out very fast. I saw a lot of people coming in to pickup orders as well. The inside almost feels like a food court but bro necessarily in a bad way. Casual spot with delicious food, the price was also good considering this was enough to feed 2 people. I saw a lot of tables of 2-4 people sharing the larger portion size! read more

We ordered the crispy pork, signature fish, and green peppercorn Szechuan fish dishes. The bowls are large but fairly shallow, so the portions aren't quite as big as they appear.

Wow this place was packed! I came here on a cloudy, chilly day and was craving for some soup. And ohhhh, it was such a great choice coming here. I got the Laotan Suancai soup, Crispy Pork, and the Brown Sugar Glutinous Rice Cakes. Yo, the soup was DELISH. It was seasoned perfectly, had the right amount of everything, and wasn't too spicy! The fish was super fresh, was velvet-like, & super easy to eat and digest. It was a huuuuge portion and could easily feed 3-4. They serve the rice for you when the main entree comes out. The crispy pork was okay, but the Brown Sugar Rice Cakes were finger-licking GOOD! I'm still thinking about it while writing this. It doesn't keep well for leftovers since I couldn't scarf it down in one sitting but gawrsh, I wish I could eat it all day.

If the fish soups weren't soooo spicy I would give this 6 stars. I could only handle so much and asked repeatedly to have them not put in any hot peppers or chili's but they said they couldn't accommodate me. After a few bites my mouth was on fire and couldn't continue, but what I was able to taste was their version of sauerkraut which was really invented in China anyway. Would love to come back and try other dishes without any fire breathing peppers. LOL read more

YUMMMM I've been to Fish With You about 5 times now and I'd come back 5 more. It's nothing super fancy, but the flavors hit like home, especially the sauerkraut soups. My go to is the Signature bowl with basa or Green pepper. The tomato base is solid too, but once you've had the signature, it's hard to go back. The portions are huge. One pot easily feeds 2-3 (even 4 if you're light eaters), and the unlimited rice is great for the carb loaders, though we usually only get through one bowl. Only miss for me was the fried pork. Everyone hypes it up, but the "tomato sauce" is basically ketchup, and the pork was way too oily for my taste. Would skip that next time. Overall, great spot to share a cozy meal with friends, service is quick, very little English. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been! read more

We had Crispy Chicken Tomato Soup Lemon Soup with Snakehead fish Crispy Prawn roll Coconut Balls Such a comforting meal on a cold night. You get seated right away. Ordering is through a QR code that you scan on the table. The order comes with rice and the vegetables, noodles, and tofu in the dish can be customized. We ordered a regular size and for us, it was still too much for two people. We had plenty of leftovers. I recommend sticking to the fish dishes since they're sooo tender. You don't even have to chew. Fish can easily be overcooked. This place knows how to handle it. The fish was fresh. It was not slimy nor had a fishy aroma. The prawn rolls and coconut ball dessert were delicious, just greasy for our taste. Skip the crispy chicken. We'll still go back to try other dishes. What a great find. read more

I came on a Sunday during lunch and it wasn't too busy. I was interested in their take on fish and decided to give it a shot. I ordered a golden soup suncai and fish with vermicelli and bean curd. The lady who took my order said it was less sour but more spicy than their recommended laotan suncai and fish. It comes with unlimited rice which is nice. The dish came out looking real good and seemed a lot. It did not taste sour but the peppercorns can get ya. The bass fish tasted ok and was not too fishy. I got down to have the bowl and noticed that the food actually starts midway of the bowl which is why it looks more than it really is. I guess presentation is key! Unfortunately, my stomach did not feel good for the rest of the day and had to frequent the restroom often. read more

Had dinner at Fish With You and I'm really glad I gave it a try. This place specializes in fish dishes and it was my first time trying something like this. We got the signature suancai & fish, the spicy mix, and the brown sugar rice cake. The fish soup was amazing! super tender fish with a slightly tangy broth from the pickled cabbage (suancai). There's szechuan peppercorns in there too, so just a heads up if you're not into that numbing, peppery flavor. I didn't mind it, but I made sure to avoid chewing them directly. The spicy mix was like a dry noodle dish with veggies and mushrooms, pretty good, but we definitely liked the soup more. Portion-wise, we got the small size and it was actually enough for the two of us. The brown sugar rice cake at the end was a nice little dessert, soft, chewy, and sweet. Overall, solid spot for a casual dinner. I'd definitely come back! read more

I kept seeing this restaurant in my Yelp feed as a Hot and New restaurant, so I decided to check it out! Nestled in Convoy is this new Sichuan restaurant with an amazing flavor! I loved the fish at the front and inside there are signs everywhere featuring their soups. First of all you order from a barcode on the table and then they bring out your food. Staff were friendly and were open to answering any questions you may have. Signature Suancai & Fish - Large is good for 2-3 ppl! This bowl was huge! At a spice level 2, this was the def was my max tolerance . This soup was so flavorful & fish was so tender! This comes with two free rice but make sure to order it so that you get it with your soup. Brown Sugar Rice Cake - This was lightly crisp on the outside & chewy on the inside. Nice palate cleanser. Definitely a must return! Love this place.

This recently-opened FWY location is the ONLY one in San Diego, but it's part of a massive 2,500-location chain that started in Beijing and has made its way around the globe. We came on a Sunday night with a party of 9 (yeah, NINE!), and somehow managed to snag the last three adjacent empty tables. Total luck! Ten minutes later, the place was full and stayed packed for our whole 1.5-hour meal. We were here on my kids' recommendation and ended up sampling quite a bit: Signature Suancai Fish Soup : Tangy, and spicy in the best way. The basa fish was tender and soft, and the pickled vegetables, potato noodles, and lettuce soaked up the broth nicely. Royal Tomato Basa Fish: A completely different vibe--mild and slightly sweet tomato broth with tofu and mushrooms that played really nicely with the light, flaky fish. Green Sichuan Pepper Suancai & Basa Fish: This one snuck up on me. Most of it was surprisingly tame, but about halfway through, a couple bites of the green peppercorn hit me with that numbing Sichuan peppercorn buzz--the kind that makes your tongue tingle and your eyes widen. Golden Beef Soup: Different broth, slightly richer and more mellow but still flavorful with tender slices of beef and well cooked potato and glass noodles. We each got a bowl of white rice with unlimited refill. This is as authentic as it gets for Sichuan comfort food. Flavors are bold and exciting, the space is clean and energetic. The QR code menu is quick, but not the most intuitive. Service barely existed, but prices here are VERY affordable, especially considering the generous portions--we barely made a dent in the soups and left with 2 containers of to-go. Oh, parking could be tight, so plan extra time for that. read more

It's always exciting to see a new concept debut in the Convoy District where there are so many duplicate styles. Fish With You opened in early March as part of the 2000+ store chain that originated in Beijing. The suite it took over was a notorious carousel of Asian eateries ranging from hot pot to BBQ skewers. The interior was modernized and brightened up with seating for well over 50 customers. The initial demand was high so much so that the promotions offered during the soft opening period were terminated early (e.g. 12% discount off the total bill). The specialty of the menu was suan cai yu. This was a sauerkraut and white fish stew cooked with Sichuan peppercorns and served like a hot pot. Two kinds of fish were available, basa and snakehead. If a sour and spicy flavor profile doesn't fit your palate, then a couple of alternatives were available like tomato or even a beef stew if fish is not your thing. Assorted fried small bites and appetizers could also be ordered. A regular portion was for one diner while a large portion was sufficient for two people. I selected a regular serving of Royal Tomato Fish with basa, tofu, enoki mushrooms, and dried soy skin as the components for my bowl. White rice with unlimited refills came with the order. What wasn't clear to me was how many types of rice were offered from the multiple cookers that were operating on a counter to the right of the register. My meal started with an appetizer of Crispy Squid. The fried squid had a light batter that was dusted with a chile pepper powder. There were about a dozen pieces in the dish. The bowl for the Royal Tomato Fish was rather shallow, however the amount of food for the price was adequate. The tomato broth was mild while the tofu and mushrooms provided a counter to the light flaky basa. For a fast-casual spot on Convoy Street, the value for the food quality was above average. read more

Came in for Saturday dinner at 5PM and the restaurant was 40% capacity, by the time we left an hour later it was full with just a couple parties waiting outside. A decent amount of people swing by for pick up. The parking lot can be troublesome if you come past 6PM but there's always been open spots outside of peak meal hours. Food: - Golden Soup: Great. Exactly what I was looking for. Tender fish. Large portions. Balanced flavor of broth. Free rice! - Crispy Squid: They ran out of crispy pork so we chose these and they were good, not too salty/oily. - Taiwan sausage: Haven't had too many of these, but they were pretty good and similar to what I've had in Taiwan Service: Service was very okay which is why I can't give this place 5 stars, but it's probably because the staff and kitchen get really busy with pick up orders. read more

Fish With You There was a cable show called River Monsters, the host Jeremy Wade, would be delighted to know I was brave enough to eat a snakehead fish! This restaurant opened over two months ago, and I had trepidation, because these are foods I don't typically eat and flashes of River Monsters season 2, episode 2 on the aggressive invasive, amphibious Snakehead fish still haunts me. But I eventually got the courage to venture to this restaurant and give it a try. - [ ] I ordered Fish With You's signature dish is the Suancai and Fish which includes snakehead fish, sauerkraut(fermented pickled vegetables) peppercorns, broth and red chilies. Additionally, the crispy squid, coconut lava balls and a Chinese green tea drink. The crispy quid were similar tasting to fried calamari but with Chinese seasoning salts were good. The coconut lava balls were crispy on the outside and filled with gooey coconut creamy white lava, not too sugary sweet, also good. Finally, the main attraction fish soup was presented , although I ordered a small, it was a hugh bowl, as big a birth bath or small fountain...and it could have fed four!! Served with bottomless steamed white rice. Although diners can eat unlimited rice, you have to ask the servers to fetch it for you. Diners were not allowed to help themselves with the rice. Servers were were often too busy to catch their attention was not good. The broth was aromatic, tasted like a version of spicy hot and sour soup with small slivers of fish, which included the variegated skin had the texture and taste similar to flounder. The assorted pickled vegetables, mostly cabbage, whole pepper corns and loaded with floating red chili peppers which had a lagged spicy effect. The flavor and taste of the veggies was too overpowering with vinegar to eat alone, but the rice helps neutralize the strong bitter pungent taste of the sauerkraut pickled veggies. I savored enough of the broth as I can but not the bitter veggies. I don't want to eat too much rice just to eat this. Despite its popularity, I will have to PASS on this and never reorder it, it's just NOT for Me. I asked the server for togo packing. The restaurant was clean, furnishings and decor was simplistic. The staff were helpful and tried to be accommodating despite the obvious language barrier issue, which is why they instruct customers to scan the menu sticker on the table, order and Epay. The food will be served by the staffers to your table. The restaurant filled quickly during lunchtime and only two staff servers, affected service, I had to flag down for attention. Most of the diners were Asians. A very chatty female sat a few tables from Me and her annoying voice was caught in one of my posted vidi, my advanced apologies. It's the #1 sauerkraut fish store, with over 2500 stores in 360 cities worldwide. Glad I had a chance to try this version of this dish. I've visited many areas of China and had versions of this dish, some swimming in chili oil and some in broth like this one. I don't eat this dish frequently but I do recall having had better edible versions in Beijing and Xi'An in China. No need to jet off to Asia to try this dish, as still it's worth a try, especially if you like spicy hot and sour soup. I would only revisit if they serve the bowl of soup with the snakehead fish's head and jaws of sharp teeth showing floating in the broth ;) would really make it a spectacular dining experience, an awesome content post River Monster.

There's not too many places with this type of food even on Convoy, so it's always exciting to try something new. The fish is cooked in this tangy and spicy broth and you get to pick which extras you want inside. The spicy mix is an upgraded version of instant noodles with all the toppings. It is much spicier than the fish dish so make sure you know what you're getting yourself into. I like the crispy chickpeas on top for that added crunch. It can get pretty loud, but it matches the vibe of the place since it's a chain restaurant. Ordering is fast since you just scan the QR code. If you go earlier in the evening, there's not much of a wait, but parking is still difficult in the plaza. read more
