Barramundi in spicy tofu pudding broth
Neil M.

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.

Dumplings

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.

Sea bass in tomato broth
Jasmine Y.

I drop by here once in a while; good place to go to with a few people (2-4). If any more, you will probably have to order something in addition to the 2 pound fish. The fish is great. This time I got the tomato broth with the sea bass since the big mouth bass they ran out of. I think people are sleeping on this flavor since it's so flavorful! The peanuts served as the appetizer are delicious and have a sweet tint to it. I'm not normally someone who cares about peanuts but it was that good. Service is very good. Provided us with a bag to put jackets in and sheets of plastic to put in front of our shirts. Also gave us new plates in the middle of the meal.

Picked Vegetable Fish
Amanda C.

The fish is so good, so fresh and tasty in the different sauces. We got the spicy sauce the first time- too spicy for us so the second time we got the picked vegetables one. It was amazing. The skewers weren't as good the second time around, dry, not seasoned well, so that's a let down. But overall great place

Striped Bass with Sichuan peppercorn
Dan S.

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

Noted it was going to be a fun atmosphere the minute I walked in and saw a karaoke stage before me. Can you imagine the fun you would have either with your group or even joining a bunch of strangers belting out some of your favorite tunes? On to the food. They specialize in grilled fish in a sauce, where you pick what type of fish you want, the sauce and spice level, and some 3-4 additives to add to the steamed fish tray. The fish is 2 lbs and can be easily eaten by two people. They also have other sides giving you a very complete and satisfying meal. The wait staff are very accommodating and if you get stuck deciding, they are very knowledgeable and offer excellent recommendations based on your taste. Food: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Price: 5/5

Mango Sparkling Water came for free since we spent $120
Mylene T.

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!

Interior with giant screen in the back playing MVs w/ Kara oke lyrics
Eric K.

What a GREAT find for authentic Sichuan spicy fish hotpot! TL;DR - It isn't a cheap eats, but you get what you pay for - good quality & tasty spicy fish. Read on for breakdown, what to order, and some tips to get the most out of this place! Wife and I visited after work one day and we were quite pleased with the quality, quantity, and the variety of food they offered, along with good service and very interesting & inviting interior. FOOD: 1. Lamb Skewer (APP, 4/5, $4.95) - We started off with the skewer and it was well-cooked, tasty, without much gaminess (well-covered w/ cumin & spice). Good palate-arouser 2. Roasted Oyster (APP, 5/5, $4.95) - LOVED this. It's ginormous (see pic)! But somehow, it was nutty, savory, and didn't lose flavor throughout its massive size. (I expected parts of it to be under seasoned - not the case!) The toasted topping/sauce on top was sweet & addictive. 3. Spicy Fish hotpot (MAIN, 5/5, $76.95) - Spicy Tofu Pudding Flavor Broth ($18) - w/ Sea Bass ($49.95) - 3 vegetables (Asparagus lettuce, Lotus roots, and Chinese cabbage, $9) The broth was excellent. It had all the right kick w/o being overwhelmingly spicy (my wife can't handle spice too well). Tofu pudding refers to silken tofu (like Korean soondoobu) in the broth. Sea bass was fresh and offered good amount of meat since it was the whole fish. Subtle and chewy at different parts, we only left bones when done. The veggies we picked were all winners, but I would STRONGLY recommend the LOTUS ROOT. I mean, I've had my share of them for many years, but this one... so crisp yet holding all that broth inside... even wife who normally doesn't care for it was hooked. There's enough food that you can take home stuff... esp. the broth, so you can put in stuff and make your own hotpot at home for day 2. Totally worth it, ain't no shame in asking for it to go. 4. Kumquat lemon iced tea (DRINK, 5/5, $3.95) - Get it, super refreshing and the coolant you need when eating spicy fish. VIBE: They have a giant screen playing latest Asian MV's, and surprisingly, the playlist was *quite* good, even for me who doesn't really care about k-pop, c-pop, whatever pop these days. To a point I actually asked for the streaming site. It was Chinese. :( :::::: SERVICE: Our waitress was helpful in assisting with broth choices, but the drink did take quite a long time to come out. After the sweat-inducing & hearty meal, we were treated to nice palate cleanser bubble tea. At over $100 inc. tip, this isn't cheap, but all that delicious leftover broth meant we got 2 meals out of it so I'd say worth it. Highly recommended!

Atmosphere: 5 What a fun atmosphere! I love that they have booths and there's even a huge screen at the back. Do they have karaoke events? Not sure, but the music they play has words going across like in karaoke. Very cool vibe in the restaurant. Portion: 5 If you order the fish, it is a ton of food. But no worries! If you can't finish, they can pack it up for you. It tastes just as good reheated at home. Alternatively, you could share one fish order with another person and have some appetizers on the side. I love the snacks that they give on the house. They're just enough to share before the meal comes. Flavors: 5 The fish is delicious! I love that the meal is not JUST the fish. There are other ingredients in there too. There's a lot of depth in the flavors. However, it is a bit on the salty side for me. Definitely helps to have it with rice to help cut down on some of that salt. The snacks they give are really good too. The peanuts are a bit basic but pretty addicting. My favorite is the fava beans. I've already been here twice! Both times it did not disappoint. Super delicious food. The fire under the fish helps keep the entire dish hot. It makes it so much more enjoyable!

Glenn S.

Awesome food but I made the mistake of going with only one person. The dishes here feed at least 3. They are known for their fish dishes and you are provided a paper menu and a pen to select your choice of fish, vegetables, and sauce. The fish is first grilled, and then continues to cook in the delicious broth in the steam tray at the table. We ordered the Salmon (which comes with 2 pounds!), potatoes, kelp, lotus root, enoki mushrooms in garlic sauce. The flavors were perfectly balanced and the fish cooked to perfection. At first the thinly sliced potatoes were a bit firm but after 10 minutes they completely cooked. The dish also comes with a delicious rice on the side which they recommended topping with the sauce. The place looks like something out of a movie as you can see from the pictures and had a theatre sized movie screen on the back wall. This is definitely a cool spot to take a group to for a delicious meal and to experience something out of the ordinary.

Not gonna lie, I was a little hesitant to visit hot space grilled fish at first after looking at their menu and seeing the wide variety of exotic animal parts offered, but don't let that deter you from visiting! FOOD The restaurant serves mostly Szechuan spicy food, but they have some non-spicy options. Most folks order the fish when coming here, which I highly recommend! It's a large grilled hotplate with a 2-4lb fish where you choose your flavor and your toppings. They recommend selecting less than four toppings so it doesn't water down the flavor. You can also split the flavors for an additional $10. It can serve a large party and would recommend splitting this among 4-6 people. The fish doesn't come with rice so you'll need to add that if you want a side. Beef skewers were very flavorful. We also tried the passion fruit juice which was very refreshing! The appetizer that they give is also pretty good which is just a medley of sunflower seeds, nuts, etc. SERVICE Service was good! Our waiter was also super helpful and walked our party through the menu since he could probably tell we were all first timers. Overall, I was very pleasantly surprised by my visit and would highly recommend coming here!

Angelo B.

Food was really good. It's not overly spicy, but still very flavorful. We got both the spicy fish pot and kebab dishes, as well as a few others. Was happy with everything, but the highlights were -spicy fish pot which was huge and would easily feed 3-4 people. This was delicious. -lamb kebabs were cooked really well, as the lamb was quite juicy. I'd recommend getting this spicy -scallops we're delicious and quite garlicky, with a generous number of scallops. Service was good. Prices are on the higher side but worth it given the flavors.

Eggplant 100% recommend
Jean G.

I didn't know this kind of Chinese cuisine existed. My two Chinese friends brought me here any boy, I can't wait to go back again. The flavors are just out of this world. This is definitely an upgrade from hotpot and other buffet experience. I highly recommend the pork feet and eggplant for sides and make sure you order a side of rice as well. The sparkling peach drink aso added proper balance and freshness to the meal. I highly recommend this place if you are somewhere near Edison.

I ordered the ginger and scallion with beef brisket, pork belly, prince mushrooms, corn, sugar snap peas, and udon noodles. There were a lot of issues with my dish in particular. I ordered mild but my dish was very spicy. I can handle spice but I feel bad if anyone orders this who can't. I'll include a picture with the amount of Szechuan peppers in this dish. The menu says pork belly but what they actually mean is thinly sliced pork which is not the same. Additionally the menu indicated corn so I was under the impression I would get loose corn not corn on the cob. Otherwise, we probably only waited about 5 minutes for our food and all the wait staff was very attentive. My husband loved his dish though so we have very opposite opinions lol. I will be coming back because my husband still loved it here and I want to give the hot pot a try.

The restaurant is nice and clean. They're busy but the kitchen was pretty quick. The waitress brought out the dish as it's done, not waiting to serve all dishes at once.

Usually I'm really discourage by Chinese restaurants on Yelp with a good rating. But not this place. Surely you'll get orange chicken and fried rice. But there are just so many stars on the menu. The braised pork belly is so tender that you barely have to chew. Get a spoonful of that sauce to mix it with rice and oh my god, I just ate two bowls of rice in an instant. Crispy ducks is never disappointing either. Duck meat is very lean, so you need to eat with the skin, ahhh hot and crispy, and then you dip it in the plum sauce oh my god perfect. And then there's the cabbage, the double cooked pork, the spicy lamb pot, the golden tofu, the list just goes on and on. I just cannot say enough good things about this place. I come to Shu House and part of me just feels like I'm home. I've soon become familiar with the servers. They'd nod at me with a smile every time I'm there. They know my go to orders. They slide in extra peanuts because they know me and my friends love them. I especially like coming here during the winter. There was a time I visit almost every week. It's warm and calming and homey. In here, the harsh winter stops bothering you. You are warmed with sincere food and genuine love. I hope Shu House continues to thrive for a very long time.

We always get the same dish when we come here, but also sometimes explore. Our all time favorites are; Sautéed Pig Intestines in Hot chili oil - always crispy, the perfect spice and heat. Hearing that crunch just makes you want to eat more. Second, Shrimp ball with salted egg yolk - i don't know why but to me this dish is very comforting. It's crispy on the outside but very juicy on the inside. The shrimp is always cooked perfectly. They coat it in salted egg yolk which compliments the shrimp really well. I also love eating the shrimp chips that it comes with. Lastly, Wontons in Hot chili oil - be careful cause this for sure will burn your tongue because of how hot the meat inside the wonton is. Again, perfectly cooked. The wonton skin and meat ratio is perfect for me. We also use the chili oil to put over our rice and it makes our rice so flavorful. Overall, I don't think anything is going to stop me from ever coming back here. I've celebrated my boyfriend and I's anniversary here for the last 3 years and this place is always so dear to us.

Although not easy to find on the tail end of a nondescript commercial strip, we saw its sign and walked in to a decent sized dining room with a half dozen booths along one wall and about a dozen tables spread across the remainder. Plenty of original watercolors displayed and for sale on the walls. David the proprietor seemed to be handling most of the operation himself. He sat us, took our order, disappeared into the kitchen to participate in its preparation and served our four courses to us in traditional style - separately as ready. The food was excellent. We chose from both the lunch and regular menu, which were integrated seamlessly. Fried Pork Chop, Crispy Fried Intestine, Fish Fillets in Chili Sauce from the mains, and Orange Beef from the lunch list. I started with Hot &Sour Soup, which was flavorful and loaded with tofu, sprouts, pork slivers and potent vinegar. Loved it! The Pork Chop was deboned and pressed thin. The result was a crisp sliced Katsu-like cutlet with nice flavor and long crunchy chew. The Intestine was also crisp and filled with green beans that mixed well with the hardened shell and soft innards. Not my fave, but my lovely partner ate it enthusiastically. The Fish and Chili was very good, with tender lightly breaded white fish fillets and red chili sauce that included small pieces of celery, sprouts and cabbage, in a large bowl. Finally, the lunch sized Orange Beef was delicious with sweet and spicy amber sauce coating the pieces of lightly crisped beef. Ubiquitous broccoli sprigs added color to the dish. Service was friendly and accommodating. David was happy to interact and talk about his business there. Red Onion is a Five Star keeper.
