Definitely the go to place in NYC if you want to try grilled fish. Frogs are also good. Overall the food is not over-priced. The environment might not be as good as some Chinese restaurants but it has the vibe of restaurant-karaoke fusion which is not common to see in China. Pretty popular in a weekend evening. read more

Hands down our favorite restaurant in flushing! We were so blown away we couldn't stop thinking about it and drove 2 hours just to eat here again. Highly recommend the mala tofu base, the tofu was super flavorful. Service was also excellent. Pristine balance of attentiveness and privacy read more

Service good. Unfortunately the fish dish not really my taste. Otherwise a good experience and good place for whole fish lovers.

We ordered spicy tofu flavor with striped bass and it was delicious. The fish was not the most delicate but tofu was silky, soft and perfectly spiced. All the staffs are very polite and attentive. They always give out free appetizers and desserts. So save some room for that! read more

We decided to come here mainly because of fish and it was good. The other foods such as lamb and frogs are great too. The service was pretty good. They also have big screen for music. read more

I came to this restaurant in Flushing Prince St. for many years. Today I came to this restaurant with a small dog less than 10 pounds in a pet carrier. The girl with glasses came to ask for a pet ID in a rude manner when I said I only had the vaccinations for the dog. They continually ignored me and told us to leave immediately. read more

We came here on a Saturday and was able to find indoor seating! Definitely call beforehand to reserve a table (they only allow reservations day of) We ordered one of the 2lb fish ($56) with potatoes (+$3), lotus roots (+$3), noodles (+$3), and something else. It came with some tofu. The dish itself was served with burners on the bottom to keep it warm. It was pretty good but I liked the added sides more than the fish itself. The fish was a bit flavorless and did not absorb any of the spicy sauce. Also, they offer rice for $1 more per bowl. We also ordered three other cold sides that were delicious! It was roughly $10 per cold dish/appetizer. We ordered the beef tripe and beef tongue, and it was really delicious. I highly recommend it. We also ordered the clams with pickled vegetables, it was perfectly cooked. The clams were not over cooked (rubbery) or undercooked (goopy), which is usually really difficult. Lastly we ordered the cold chicken in chili, very very good. We enjoyed the cold dishes more than the actual entree. Would come again for the appetizers!! read more

WOW!! I was very impressed by this restaurant. I have tried frogs at other places in NYC but was never impressed since the frogs I've had before always had very little meat and were difficult to eat (lots of bones). The bullfrogs here are huge and very meaty. I was shocked when they brought out the huge pot of frogs and every piece of frog meat was comparable to a chicken drumstick or wing! There was lots of meat on these frogs and they were perfectly cooked. Super juicy and delicious. I love the spicy flavor! They also had really good BBQ skewers and free sparkling water (I had mango flavor). The portions were generous and my girlfriend and I had enough leftovers to last us for the next day's meals too. Highly recommend this spot if you are a fan of spicy food or frogs! AND if you think you don't like frogs, please try this spot before deciding because I thought I wasn't a frog fan until I tried this restaurant. This restaurant is dine-in only (no takeout) and was pretty busy so I'd recommend going during non-prime times to minimize any waits. read more

I went here since they first open, I see how they grow and get better and better. If my friend ask me where is good place to go for bbq fish, no doubt is here. The flavor is good as always, they have more options now. Service is very thoughtful and friendly. That's another reason why I like to keep coming back. For food, I will recommend to get sea bass fish. Less bones and soft meat , we just order too much food. But it was really tasty. Love it. See you soon! read more

This is my third time going!! This became one of my favorite restaurant. Their bullfrogs with hot spicy sauce is soo well seasoned and I think I just got addicted to it . It comes in a huge pot and a fire simmering throughout and noodle and veggies could be added into the pot, with additional charges. Me and my two other girlfriends destroyed it. Soo yummy!! Will be returning for more!! read more

Ambiance: Hot Space is small and has a Yelp waitlist which comes in handy. We arrived just after the 12pm opening on a Saturday and had no wait time, but very quickly the restaurant filled up. This was definitely not a hole-in-the-wall, but it felt like a trendy and authentic Chinese place with pan-Asian music videos being projected on the back wall. Ordering: You mark your selections on a paper menu: a protein, flavor, and toppings (i.e. veggies, noodles). The staff was mindful enough to warn us when we arrived, that the frog was unavailable that day - worked for us because that's not what we were looking to eat. Note: normally toppings cost $3 each, and there is a four-topping "golden combination that costs $11, but our waitress allowed substitutions!!! We saved $1, score. Appetizer: They bring out a nut platter which is actually amazing. There are peanuts, broad beans, and some sort of seed. Refills available upon request. Main: We picked striped bass with spicy garlic flavor, and four toppings (Chinese cabbage, mung bean noodle, potato, soft tofu). The spicy garlic was very well seasoned, I'm not sure why some reviewers say the flavor is bland. We also ordered two cups of rice ($1 each). The bass tasted like it has been fried first then braised in the sauce, so it was flavorful. There are LOTS of bones in the fish so beware, although the Asian customers like myself don't mind fishbones. The mung bean noodles are these wide glass noodles with a somewhat chewy texture and I thought they were delicious. Dessert: They bring out bowls of milk jelly soup for everyone after the meal which I wasn't aware was included and thought this was a beautiful touch after the salty main. Normally I'm picky with my Chinese dessert soups but this was excellent. Overall this was a solid Sichuan fish casserole experience with nothing but outstanding service. My table was Vietnamese and obvs don't speak a lick of Chinese, but I did not mind that the staff tried to speak Chinese with us first, and were quick to switch to English. IMO this shows how the restaurant is very authentic yet will adapt to non-Chinese customers in a pinch, and I felt comfortable asking them questions. read more

The staff members there are super nice!!!!! One of the best service for a Chinese restaurant I've ever been to. I have been there for twice. The first time we came there, it's almost midnight. But they still took care of us as well as normal time. Explained the menus patiently, effective check-back during the meal, free appetizer and dessert. I love their grilled fish or grilled frogs pot. Suggestions: Frogs need to be cooked longer than the fish to absorb the spicy soup. If you can't handle spicy food very well, get the lowest spicy level. That will be enough for you. read more

Staff helped us out in terms of ordering because there were several parts to the process, somewhat similar to hot pot. You pick types of fish, vegetables, sauce. I think we ordered the buffalo fish as per the servers recommendation. He said this fish had lots of bones but was very flavorful. He was certainly right. I don't mind bones as an immigrant because outside of America most fish come with bones. The whole fish cost $49.95. Then $2.5 per vegetable, which I think we got the mushrooms and cabbage. So about $54.95 total for 3 people. Which is about $18.32 per person. That's not bad for a whole fish. If you have ever ordered a whole fish in Manhattan then you know how expensive those get. I don't recall which sauce we chose but it was spicy and I liked it. We were super full. The inside is funky. Has a huge karaoke screen. The server was very nice and helpful. The service was great. read more

We got the sea bass with a double flavor pot! Specifically we got the spicy tofu pudding ( it's actually spicy) It definitely hit the spot, I personally don't eat fish with bones, but this was totally manageable and no surprised bones! So delish! My only complaint is that the potatoes were not soft enough, but that's a personal preference ( I like really soft potatoes) read more

Overall: Funky and fun vibes in this modern/ digital spot. When you walk in, you can see a large screen playing music videos ready for a karaoke experience. Staff is very friendly and will ask you if you've been there before as ordering is a little confusing initially. Ambiance: modern karaoke vibes as mentioned above. Food: There is a menu where you can pick fish, vegetables, sauce. honestly I can't tell you what exactly I wondered as we mainly took recommendations from staff. We picked the 2.5 lb fish... Very spicy with many bones ( which they warned us about) but I loved it!!!! One fish fed 3 people and was very satisfying!!! Appetizer plates with dried goodies are included- pictured below ( sweet peanuts, watermelon seeds, and another nut? With spicy aftertaste- really enjoyed) Service : Wonderful staff, there to help every step of the way. Refilled the delicious appetizers. Will come again if I'm in the neighborhood! read more

This is one of the places I truly wish I knew about WAYYY before COVID. It is SO good and worth every drip of sweat. Service: extremely attentive and all around, spectacular. Several helpful staff around to help explain the menu and how to order, give suggestions and serve the dish. The food: order a type of fish (you can ask for one with a specific texture like "bouncy" or not, or bone-in/boneless) and order some other sides to be included. I usually just get the golden combination which has the best sellers. They recommend not to order more than 5 items to add as that will just decrease the flavor of the rest of the dish. End the meal with their herbal jelly milk. Sweet but also good for digestion (I think...). I could drink 3 bowls of that thing, so good. Beware- their "spicy" is SPICY. I got some spicy skewers and unfortunately didn't realize how spicy it really was- the waitress had to wash it down for me and gave me more iced water, what a shame. This type of dish is best eaten fresh so taking anything home (which you won't anyways) will just be less tasty. read more

I have always visited Hot Space in the past and after it reopen the flavor and service was as always fantastic. There were mistake with our orders but because of their great serves and delicious food I would still give it 5 out of 5. Also highly recommend their crawfish dish if available. Hope they their food and service stay the same as long as possible. 5 star recommendation. (Just when there again and just wanted to also add from time to time they will have promotion like free drink (currently) or add extra lb of crawfish in the past if I'm not mistaken but of course these are with limit of over certain amount of spending. Most I believe will go over that amount easily, like me. read more

Great place for grilled fish! They have so many different flavors to choose from for the fish. My husband and I usually order a fish with the classic spicy tofu flavor, and add four choices of veggies. The portion is huge and we end up eating too much every time. It's so worth it though! The service is one of the best we had in flushing. They are friendly, attentive and kind. Oh! Free dessert too! It's a small bowl of milk tea with herbal jelly. I love it! We returned so many times! read more

HOT SPACE GRILLED FISH! A hot displacement of Sentosa, which used to occupy this address. Hot Space is a good spot for a small group to share a meal. The concept: giant chafing trays of Szechuan-style "stews," brought to a simmer right at your table. Each dish feeds 3-4 people and runs $50-60. You choose the protein, the flavor/sauce, and the add-ons. Proteins are mostly fish, but there was at least one vegetarian-friendly option. Each flavor/sauce has spiciness level indicated. $2.50 for each add-on (tofu, greens, mushrooms, etc.), or choose any 4 for $8. $1 per bowl of rice. Mark your selections on the menu yourself. We chose: a) barramundi (their softest fish and the one with the least pinbones), b) in "spicy hot grilled fish tofu pudding" flavor, which just means silken tofu is included, c) with add-ons: asparagus lettuce, woodear mushroom, konnyaku, and napa cabbage. The "spicy hot grilled fish tofu pudding" is designated their spiciest flavor, with 2 little chili icons. But our server ranked it 5-6 on a scale of 1-10. That was spot-on: it really was not spicy, in either the 麻 (numbing spice) or the 辣 (capsaicin spice) department. Service was attentive, with 3 servers separately asking us how things were, explaining menu options, etc. When we asked them to leave the chafing fuel lit so our food stayed hot, they explained that they didn't want the fish to overcook, but still entertained our preferences. One server took us through the rigmarole of choosing our "free" fruit juice, served in a beer tower. Only when he asked for our WeChat did we realize this was a promotion they were doing for WeChat users only. I'm not a 20-year-old Chinese person, so no WeChat and no mango juice for us. Is the food tastier here than other Szechuan restaurants (most of which serve pots of fish cooked in fiery chili broth)? No... but it DOES look cooler on a giant tray taking up all the table space, and the fish IS generous and fresher than the boneless/skinless slabs you get at many Szechuan spots. They did not oversalt, either, which is hard to find. Three cheers for Hot Space! read more

They have one paper sheet menu and it was mostly in very big Chinese letters. There is English but it's printed in smaller font. When you order over $100 worth of food. They'll give you a complimentary sparkling juice with five flavors to choose from. I chose the passion fruit and it was very good. I ordered the spicy chicken and beef and ox tongue as appetizers. The appetizers were delicious. I order the spicy hot grilled fish tofu pudding big mouth bass. The big mouth bass was good but it was way too spicy. I was dying from the spiciness. I also ordered the dry pot dish with cauliflower. I didn't like the cauliflower that much. This restaurant is nice and clean. They offer you a big bag to put your clothes in. Why? They told me so the smell of the food don't get on your clothes. The service here is really good. There are a lot of waiters and they'll always come around to see everything is good. They'll literally ask you if everything is good lol. They always switched out plates and ask for anything else needed. At the end of our meal they gave us herbal jelly complimentary on the House. The server was really nice. But, he didn't tell me I had the option of ordering the food with less spice until I was taking care of the check. He should of told me I could order the food less spicy in the beginning. It was my first time coming to this restaurant so he helped me out with the menu. But, he should have warned me how spicy the food was going to be because I came here with a toddler. read more

This was my first time trying this type of cuisine and I was pretty excited! I've had Sichuan food before (I've been to Chengdu) and I'm definitely a spice/numbing queen. We came here for a birthday dinner and we were seated at one of the best tables of the house (by the windows on the second floor). The staff was so friendly and accommodating when they knew it was for a birthday dinner! The menu was a bit hard to understand (if you don't speak or understand Chinese) since the English descriptions are very limited. However, I was with very knowledgeable Chinese folks so make sure you befriend one before coming here! We decided on getting two hot pot dishes. One was a numbing spice frog dish and the other one was a sour fish dish. I personally liked the numbing frog dish but everyone else seemed to like the fish one better. We also got the mango juice tower complimentary of ordering $100+ worth of food. This place also gives you a plastic bag so you can store your jackets without the smell of the place! read more

Great authentic addition to the main flushing area. Awesome service and free soda if you scan the QR code on WeChat. We had lunch on a Saturday (they open at 12) which meant that we avoided the evening crowds. We ordered the original house spicy tofu flavor with the $55 fish option (some kind of bass, which had very little bones). You can do any combination of 4 side items for $8, we went with chinese veggies, green bean vermicelli, seaweed, and lotus root. They gave generous portions buried in the hot sauce. You can add an side order at the end, which we did with the veggies. They help you shift the burners on the bottom but parts of the hot sauce does get congealed. It also gets very spicy the longer it cooks, so if you're not used to Sichuan spicy, opt for the mild options. Will definitely come back and try other flavors of fish. Also tried the bbq squid, which had too much of the cumin flavor and was too chewy. read more

Hi Everybody, this is my first review ever. This restaurant isn't particular special, but it is simply the place I ate at last and freshest in my memory. I will actually be going back and reviewing other places I've eaten at over the years. Now without further ado... To be frank, I was dragged here by a foodie friend of mine. I didn't even know this place existed. My friend is a huge fan of hot and spicy Sichuan food, and so she said that this place is actually the second location of this other wildly successful place in Brooklyn. So when she heard that this place has opened up in Flushing (near where she lived) she just had to drag all of us there. There were 5 of us and we were seated quickly on a Thursday night. There are about 8-10 tables in the place, with a giant full screen TV in the background playing Chinese MVs. I thought the volume of the ambiance was just right; quiet enough that you can have a conversation, but loud enough that added a certain liveliness. We were on the first floor, but there is a set of stairs going upstairs and I saw the hostess leading customers upstairs, I wasn't curious enough to go check it out, but I assume it's the same layout. We ordered Chinese style, we got their Signature Spicy Hot Grilled (misspelled I assume) Fish Tofu Pudding (yes, that is a weird name) and the Hot Spicy Crawfish's (this place NEEDS to get their spelling together). We added a bunch of vegetables into each of them (they recommend at most 3 vegetables per dish.) We also ordered a bunch of sides like the Roasted Frog, the Grilled Chicken Wings, Eggplant, and Corn. THE FISH WAS DELICIOUS. Okay, I'm not saying it's the best fish I've ever had (because that's going to come in a different review.) But it was pretty darn good. I went in without much expectation, but I was pretty blown away by the spices in the Fish dish. I could not stop eating it. Keep in mind that I'm currently dieting and I'm not suppose to be eating too much carbs, but that meal, I ate two bowls of rice (the spiciness also had something to do with that). The spices in the dish have completely soaked through the vegetables and potato we put into it, but not quite the fish. I am never afraid of double dipping into the sauce after I break down the pieces of fish so it was all the same to me. I can go on about the fish, but I'll stop myself here, let's just say it was pretty damn good. I am not a huge fan of crawfish, but my friends were and they couldn't stop raving about the crawfish. I had one, the flavors were good and the size stood out to be bigger than I've had it elsewhere. I let my friends enjoy the rest of the crawfish and focused on the fish dish since it was a Grilled Fish shop. The sides were overall pretty good. Though I feel like they could have used a little less garlic on the eggplant. But other than that, no complaints. The service overall was very good. They are very well staffed. And the staff seems well trained; they came over every once in a while to help us "unstick" the bottom of the pot and waters were refilled promptly. I also felt they were very knowledgeable about the menu and what seems to be the owner actually came over and asked us how our experience was, we said it was great. He recommended us to try the bullfrog the next time we go. Overall, for the 5 of us, we spent $40 per person after tip and tax. I felt that was really good for the price. Definitely a lot better than Good Harvest just next door, which costs more. Okay, I felt like I've rambled on for an eternity. I apologize for the wordiness of the post. I think it's just because it's my first post ever. I've also attached a picture of the Menu because I knew I was writing this and didn't want to get the dishes names wrong. Thanks for reading! tldr; Great Fish place, go try it. You won't regret it. read more

Located right in the center of the Flushing BID (Business Improvement District), Hot Space Grilled Fish is one of the newest addition of Asian cuisine into the area. Without further ado, let's get right into business. Restaurant: Great vibe, two floors of dining space. We sat at the second floor and the space has a large TV covering the entire wall playing various music videos (Chinese and English mainly). I was actually informed by a staff that we can add songs to the mix as there was a computer screen next to the restroom similar to ones you find in KTV. Lighting was sufficient and table spacing did not seem to be an issue. Staff: Very attentive. To start off, they offer a giant plastic bag to put our jackets in so that the smell of the food does not seem into our clothes. Definitely a great gesture that other restaurants with heavy smells can learn from! Our waitress ran us through the menu as it was our first time dining at the restaurant. Throughout the entirety of the meal, we've had various staff members refill our waters, stop by to ask about our food, as well as refill our fish's broth level. Food: The main attraction here is obviously the fish. They have three different fish options: carp, bass, and barramundi with the first being around four pounds and the latter being two. They have premise options for you to order from which has sauces and vegetable pairings made for you. Alternatively, you can choose your fish, among eight different sauces, and loads of veggies. There are also various appetizers and skewers to order from as well. What we got: For four people, we ordered a chilled tofu/preserves egg appetizer which came in a soy/sesame sauce that was quite refreshing. We also got a grilled eggplant that was smoky and tender. For the main course, we ordered the carp in a mild garlic sauce with four rices on the side. There was also a free sparking water tower for helping promote their business via WeChat (our waitress helped us do it). The meal ended with some free herbal jelly to cool down the palette. Damage: After tax and tip, the four of us paid $23.50 each. Not bad for a dinner out in the city. Will recommend/return! read more
