Fried catfish and shrimp combo - It was good but on the salty side
Shayla B.

***3.5 Stars*** Here comes JJ's with that fried fish and shrimp!!! It is quite smackin' if I shall say so myself. Traditionally, I'm more of a beer battered and tempura fried fish kinda gal. But JJ's?! Yeah... they can get it. They just need to tone down all of that damn salt and we'll be cool. Stopped by for dinner about a month ago and I made it in line before the crowd came in. I ordered ahead but they still make you stand in the same line as the walk-ins. Not the best setup here, but what can you do? People were social distancing while waiting in line which was good, but of course the line was out the door. Took a while to get to the register but got my food as soon as I got up there. The lady at the register is also the same person answering the phones too. They could definitely benefit from having another body back there to help. Ordered the fried shrimp and fish combo and the portions were nice and big. Both were nicely battered and tasted relatively fresh. But damn, waaaay too much salt on them thangs. Like a whole salt shakers worth. Next time I'll ask them to tone down the salt if they can do it. They give you hella fries but they're average. I don't think they have cocktail sauce here. Definitely ask for extra tartar because they're kinda skimpy with it. They have all kind of desserts here too. One of the ladies that I was talking to in line told me that all of their desserts were the bomb. She recommended the banana pudding and of course I ordered it. When it comes to banana pudding, you ain't got to tell me twice! That sh*t was SOOOOOOO damn gooood! Mmm mm MMM! Them nilla wafers, that creamy puddin'. Yep, homegirl put me up on game. The damn dessert was better than the fish and chips! If I was in the area and had a craving for that pudding, I'd come back here pronto. But anyways, the fish and chips were still good. Not the best, but better than many other places that I've been to (minus all of the salt). Oh yeah, I should probably mention that the parking lot was full and this place is in the hood. But, don't let that deter you. Just park illegally like everyone else did and avoid the nutcases that try to approach you on your way in and out of there (shrugs shoulders). Would I come back again? I would if I was in the area and had a craving for the frieds and/or that puddin'.

I'm sorry but jj fish is nasty , the chicken was old and dry and I never complain about food like I usually suck it up and eat it , seriously, but the chicken was hot but seemed overall cooked and old like dark meat is not suppose to be dry dry , I order the 333 order of wings , teigh, and legs , I only ate one wing and broke into the rest of the food and it was all dryyyy and the oil sat on the shciken like it was old , event the bread was hard , its a easy pass for me

First off, we called ahead to make sure they had fresh crawfish over the phone they said it was in season and fresh. When we got there we confirmed with the waitress again and she said it was fresh but it was not only frozen but borderline inedible and I'm shocked they served something that was essentially rotting from the inside out. The inside was BLACK and soggy!! Chinese all you can eat buffets have better quality than this. It was actually so bad I couldn't even continue eating it. The price was atrocious for that as well ($25 for 1lb, $22 for half). Service was just as bad. The two waitresses seemed like they hated being there and took forever to get us menus, took even longer to take our order and she just sat behind the counter and ate instead of bringing us water or utensils. They never once came back to check in on us after dropping the food off. The catfish was BLAND despite it looking seasoned which was shocking and the short ribs looked and tasted boiled as you can see in the photo. Just overall horrible quality. I'm actually sad about this spot! Just moved to the east bay from sf and it looked promising. Just was an unfortunate disappointment.

This place was literally empty when we came here for lunch…read more Like it looked like it was abandoned kind of empty. Like haunted restaurant kind of empty. Thankfully the server was nice and the food we had was surprisingly good. I say this because we honestly weren't sure if their seafood cioppino would be any good given the majority of their menu featured Vietnamese dishes. Interesting combination. Like Fisherman's Wharf merged with a Pho restaurant. You can get your oysters and deviled eggs and bahn mi sandwiches here. For realz, look at the menu. Anyways I liked my cioppino. Didn't have a lot of seafood but the flavor profile was spot on and the garlic bread was decent. That's why I never want to judge a Vietnamese Fisherman's Restaurant based solely on their menu--because the food just may surprise you!

It's trying to be fancier than it actually is. A mix of wonderful scratch made elements (delecate, interesting sauces, perfectly cooked fish, lovely fresh asparagus) and some elements I think are frozen/pre-made stuff (fries, ravioli, mashed potatoes, seaweed salad). We went on a weekday at 2pm. We sat on the upstairs balcony. It was very quiet and peaceful, which is honestly such a rare win for any restaurant in the Bay, I might go back just for this. The view is heavenly, completely gorgeous. I would like to see how they deliver on the raw oysters ($4 each) and Cesar salad. Pricing is definitely too high for the quality of the food but not more so than any other East Bay restaurant with a waterfront view, and this view is better than any other I know. Service was... Kind of ridiculous... Only one person working the entire front of the restaurant - no greeter at the entrance, no bartender, no busser, and that person simply does not have enough command of the English language to do the job well. Could not effectively answer any of our questions about the menu. Could not understand we wanted the appetizer dishes cleared away to make room for the very large main course dishes. Disappeared for so long we had to get up and go find them to ask for our check. Never asked if we wanted drinks or dessert. Said some surprisingly rude phrases but I'm sure it was an ESL issue, I genuinely don't think they intended to be rude. They certainly did not catch it or notice At All what was happening when one of our group was briefly rude back by responding in kind (before realizing it was accidental). We had to ask more than once to bring us knives even though there are foods in our main dishes that can't be cut with the side of a fork. And on, and on, etc. Oh one good thing was we asked to each paid separately and they let us do that without any trouble, and got our individual items correct immediately.

She was super kind, warm, and welcoming and gave me the option to sit at a table or the bar. Being a solo traveller, I opted for the bar which was honestly great. To Start, I had a Singapore sling. Its rare I see these on the menu so I had to try. It was strong and delicious! So happy with my choice. For food, I had so much meat. The lamb chops to start were incredible.

All of our pasta entrées were delicious too. Good flavor and filling without leaving you feeling too stuffed. We had leftovers too. My favorite was the tiramisu that we shared. It was moist and lightly sweet and it helped end the meal on a great note! The restaurant can be a little loud if they're busy, but otherwise it has a great ambiance. Great place to stop by in Alameda-even Alysa Liu loves this place!
