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.

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.

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

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

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

Really like the concept; it's almost like it's meant to be a lazy person's version of hot pot. You pick your meat, your ingredients, and then everything is cooked in the flavor of your choice... be mindful if you're not a spicy person.. their mala is HOOOT. I thought it was delicious but my family was downing drinks. This place offers a fun socializing experience like shabu shabu, but without the need to cook or search for the cooked pieces in the pot! We've eaten here pretty often... once we even came twice in the same week! That won't be the last of us, we'll be back again. ** PS!! Definitely recommend to have 3-4 people minimum. My husband and I went by ourselves once and man, we regretted it because we got toooo full; they're portions are big! read more

One of the go to Chinese restaurant in Edison. When you see all customers are young Chinese you know you walk into the right place. The most authentic taste of Szechuan around the area. Forgot to take the picture of lamb/beef skewers. They are amazing! Recommend grilled salmon with garlic sauce for those who go for the first time that are scared to try the exotic flavors/fish with bones. read more

We were almost forced to order their "must-have" dish - the grilled fish! An unpleasant and shocking experience. I went through this restaurant's reviews online and really had a positive feeling about it, and I already decided all the dishes I wanted to try just by looking at the menu online. I went to the restaurant with my family and we waited for a while to be seated. Everything was fine until a young waitress started to take the order. She told me that we have to order one of the grilled fish. I understood all the grilled fish are their signature dishes but we had our own preference and we were shocked by her requirement. Then we asked the manager for some explanation. Another young lady, who claimed to be the manager, came to our table and told us the same thing, that we needed to order one of the grilled fish. However, after watching our shocked faces, she compromised a little bit, saying "this time is OK (not to order the grilled fish), but next time you need to order one of the fish from the menu". I cannot believe that a popular restaurant has such a hidden rule! They have not put the rule either on their menu or their website. Or at least, they should have notified us about the requirement for customers when we entered the restaurant. If they told us that we had to order one of their grilled fish, we would definitely leave at the very first place. This is a Chinese restaurant specialized in Szechuan cuisine. The owner must have put a lot of effort into starting this business. Dishes on the menu are well selected. Decoration is morden and impressive. There is a huge LED screen showing local Chinese TV programs and pop music videos. But, if the owner does not pay attention to his or her ideology of running a business or does not provide the staff proper training on basic courtesy towards customers, what's the point of all the other fancy stuff? I had never been to a restaurant that requested the customer to order a certain dish, not in the U.S., not in China, and not in any part of the world. Ironically, the bill of the dishes we ordered far overpassed the cost of their "required fish dish". We have spent enough money at their restaurant and we don't deserve such unprecedented harassment at all! read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got the chance to last night! Their specialty is grilled fish simmered in Chinese mala style flavors. This place is kind of a variation on hot pot - you order the type of fish, sauce, and toppings (veggies, tofu, etc.) you want and it all comes out beautifully melded together on a hot plate burner. We ordered 2lbs of fish for 3 people and ended up finishing it perfectly with nothing left! The spicy garlic sauce we chose was very flavorful and did not disappoint. We also ordered a couple of skewers (beef, fish tofu, pork) that were pretty good too. There are other main dishes to choose from if you don't want the fish plate option, but we did not get a chance to try those. Altogether our food was good and servers were very attentive. I did take off a star because I felt that prices overall were on the higher side - however I don't mind coming back in the future for a special occasion. read more

We came here to have lunch on a Sunday. It wasn't too packed but there were a good amount of people here. I have to say, if you are not a seafood lover, so don't bother coming here. Their main dishes are fish on a grill. Basically, they have different types of fish to choose from. You pick a sauce and then choose some veggies. We got the stripped bass with rice cake, lotus, soft tofu and cabbage. We also got a beef skewer and all of our dishes were delicious. The grilled fish can feed up to 3-4 people I feel like. And the skewer was big enough to satisfy two people. Although the grilled fish was on the pricier side, the one we got was about $50, i think it was all worth it. Please note that the fish has bones in it, it's not just a fillet. You need to be a real fish eater here. We also got a complimentary side dish free for checking in on Yelp. Our waitress was so cute, she had explained to us the entire menu and even gave us her honest opinion. Random but they gave us a hair band each to tie up our hair to eat outside lol. I would come back here to eat with my family. So delicious! read more

I had really high expectations going in so I came in earlier today preparing for a large take out order. It was immediately a letdown when I was told they don't do take out for their fish. When I asked for a reason, the hostess was unsure and only knew it to be the policy for management. Since I was already there, I decided on several replacement dishes: the hot spicy seafood, along with several appetizers (they were out of a few choices, such as the grilled oysters). They also had a promo going on where they throw in a free lobster if you spend over $120. I spent quite a bit over that amount and was then told I didn't qualify since it was meant for dine in only...yet another strange policy that was a surprise. As for the food, the ingredients were fresh, but nothing really stood out. The sliced beef and ox tongue in chili oil and the arctic surf clams were probably my favorite dishes, but not enough where they stole the show. I asked for the seafood to be less spicy, which it was not .It may have been a better experience dining in, but definitely not worth it for take out. read more

There's been an influx of grilled fish joints. This is a new one that opened recently. This place is actually fresh! I highly recommend this place. I ordered their seafood, it's good. Fresh shrimp, lobster and crab. They don't do takeout for their fish, which means at least it's fresh! It's a little salty. It's actually fresh! It's next to Hmart.

Outdoor seating is available- COVID friendly. Food was great - seafood was very fresh. For those who can't take spice there are dish options that can come without chili. The water served is fruit infused, free dessert at the end of your meal. Fantastic service! The waitresses were all respectful, helpful and kind explaining how the dishes worked. Our waitress saw me holding back my hair and came back with a hairtie for me. They are open from 12pm-12am, after Hmart closes, they add more tables outside so they're able to seat more people. Recommend dishes: - spicy pig ears - tofu with century (preserved) egg - beef stick/skewer - 2lb big mouth bass fish (add veggies etc.) read more

We always love going to buffet restaurants that usually serve meat. If you want to try something different other than meat... this is the place to go. Something different than what we normally eat. We tried the Barramundi Fish and this is very good! You also have the option of trying spicy and non spicy. You must also try the Kumquat & Lemon Sparkling Water, very refreshing, esp after eating something spicy. Waiters are very nice and helpful. So to sum it all up, everything is amazing! read more

I'm a huge fan of Sichuan food so I was super excited when I saw this shop open up near Hmart. We ordered the Barramundi in Spicy Tofu Pudding flavor and a few other dishes. The service is impeccable-- and this is coming from a former waitress! Complimentary snacks for us to munch on while we waited arrived at our table immediately upon seated, our water was never empty, and the servers were patient enough to kindly explain the menu to us. The fish itself was absolutely huge-- I think it easily could have fed 4+ people. It fell apart in my mouth and the flavor was amazingly addictive. It was probably the best Sichuan food I've ever had! The owner is super friendly as well. Overall, it was an amazing experience and well worth the money. If you haven't branched out of typical Americanized Chinese food, I implore you to step out of your comfort zone and try this place! It's the perfect place for all spice lovers :) read more

I've been wanting to try this place for the longest time and I'm so glad I finally did. Hot Space truly deserves five stars, from the food to the service. The waiters changed our plates midway without us even asking and were very accommodating. The food was just delicious and I'm so glad New Jersey finally has a spot like this so I don't need to travel all the way to flushing. Honestly everything we ordered was amazing. I highly recommend the fish stew for sure and definitely the artic surf clams. If you have a larger party, definitely try the crawfish. For drinks, we had the passion fruit sparkling water which you definitely have to get. read more

5/5 This is our new favorite spot in Edison! The food, drinks and service are all impeccable! We've tried a variety of dishes from their menu but you must order the fish dish. Our favorite combination is the striped bass with garlic sauce. The spice level is just right and it pairs really well with rice. My husband loves the black pepper sauce but that one is a bit sweeter. The whole dish can easily feed 3-4 persons. The staff is quite attentive and helpful. Service is top notch. Another highlight is their complimentary dessert which offers a sweet finish to the meal! read more

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.

Hot Space in Edison has officially become one of my favorite dining spots! From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable--attentive, friendly, and incredibly efficient. One thing I truly appreciated was how the staff constantly changed our used plates without us even having to ask, keeping the dining experience fresh and comfortable. The food? Simply outstanding. If you're a fan of bold, spicy flavors, this is the place to be. Every dish was packed with rich, authentic Sichuan heat, yet perfectly balanced and bursting with flavor. That being said, for those who aren't as spice-inclined--like my kids--there were still plenty of delicious options that they thoroughly enjoyed. This was my second visit, and this time, I brought two other families along. Safe to say, Hot Space delivered yet again! Everyone had a fantastic time, and we left full, happy, and already talking about our next visit. If you love great food, stellar service, and a lively atmosphere, Hot Space is a must-try. Highly recommend! read more

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.
