Fantastic food and great customer service! My coworkers and I went here for lunch since I had sour fish soup at another restaurant recently and loved it so now I want to try all the places with sour fish soup. We ordered the large sour soup and the dry hot pot. The soup was sour, flavorful and loaded with a good amount of basa fish. My favorite was the dry pot and would 100% order just that again. The flavor was salty, slightly spicy and numbing. It had a great variety of ingredients and all my favorite ones too! Portions were huge! The 3 of us couldn't finish those two items so we ended up taking some home. We can't to come back to try more dishes. read more

The portions are huge and perfect for sharing. There were 3 of us, and we ordered the Golden Sour & Spicy Fish Soup (basa, small) and the Golden Sour & Spicy Beef Soup (large). The small comes with 1 bowl of rice, and the large comes with 2, which was plenty of food. As someone who loves anything sour, this place really hit the spot. The broth has the perfect balance of sour and spicy, with a slight numbing sensation from the peppercorns that makes it so addictive. I also love that you can customize the toppings in your soup. I highly recommend the sweet potato glass noodles. They're super chewy and soak up all the flavor. Both soups were delicious, but the beef soup was my favorite because the broth was even more sour. The fish soup was still really good, but the fish made the broth a little creamier. If you're a fan of sour and spicy flavors, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. I'm already thinking about what I'm going to order the next time I'm back! read more

Seven Fish Cuisine - Golden Sour and Spicy Fish Soup and Golden Sour and Spicy Beef Soup - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Jose, California

Don't let the name mislead you. It's an authentic Chinese restaurant that serves more than fish. While fish is the known dishes and often times made very well, they have multiple dishes that are made very well. We specifically enjoy the intestines, the squid, the beef, and the fish! The restaurant itself is very narrow with a modern Chinese restaurant take. While the rice is out in the open, I don't think it's self serve. They do take a while to get the dishes out and they do get busy. If you pay in cash, you get a free drink. read more

This casual restaurant should be called Seven Peppers Cuisine instead of Seven Fish Cuisine. The entrees we ordered were 5-Alarm Level spicy, even though we told the waitress we wanted everything mild. The worst item we ordered was the Chicken with Lemongrass. It was nothing but spicy chicken scraps, mostly bone fragments...not worth $25.99. The rice was cooked in small batches, and so it's fresh. read more

My review as a white guy with my Asian friends. This place was recommended by one of our friends for having a wide variety or fish soups and other unique dishes. It's not a huge space, so calling ahead for large groups is recommended. We were a group of 8. We had our friend order everything. Food: Beef soup. This was one of the tastier soups. Also rated as top 3. Lemongrass chicken stir fry. Very tasty flavors with some spice, but the bones, limited chicken, and extra salty/oily flavors hurt the full potential for me. This is their #2 dish. Yellow base fish soup. Good flavors and decent amount of fish but a bit oily. French fries. Like McDonald's but extra saltyyyy. Lotus flower dish. I enjoyed this a lots. A good mix of veggies and peppers too. Spicy chicken. Very tasty flavors but oily. Dripping. Make sure you get rice. Overall, the food was good, but a little too much salt and oil was the collective view from our table. There could've been more chicken meat as well. Luckily, the service was quick with food dishes coming out without a long wait. read more

tl;dr Casual spot with delicious and huge portions for sharing! Though be careful of the chicken one, it was full of bony parts so we had to take our time eating it and would probably avoid next time. The protein dishes are all the same preparation/flavor so no need to get multiple unless you want to. My table of 4 enjoyed a fish soup and 3 of the protein options, squid, chicken, and pork. I'd rank the dishes in order of deliciousness and ease of eating as the fish soup, squid, pork, then chicken. The fish soup had a good amount of Szechuan numbing spice (as do basically all the dishes), which added a delightful kick to it. Depending on the size of the soup, you can add up to 4 add ons included in the price. Great taste and great deal! It served 4 easily. There is also unlimited rice to eat with your soups and proteins, enjoy! Free drink from the fridge if you pay in cash. read more

The food looks so good that I had to come in and give it a try. The choices though... are all too spicy for my family to try. Therefore, it's limited in flavor - everything is all numbing from the peppercorn. Would I try again? Maybe - each dishes are family style size - so I would only go if I can bring my family to share if they can withstand the numb (not spicy, just numbing) read more

Came here specifically craving sour soup, which is not yet super popular chinese dish. They're well known for their sauerkraut-based sour soup, and it sour enough for my tastes. I think next time I will request it to have numbing spice as then it would be sour and spicy. The tomato soup was ok, not as flavorful as the sour soup but I like tomato soups. Next time I will have to try a custom-made soup made by the chef because apparently, you can request off menu soups using the ingredients that they have. read more

Loved the concept, the flavor, the service. Didn't love the execution too much. This place specializes in Sichuan style fish, boiled in spicy numbing sauces. There's also a variety of stir fried veggies or meat dishes you can order. While I thought the flavors were really good, I was a little disappointed at how much actual protein came with the dishes. I expected more. For instance the large fish pot wasn't enough for two people. And the chicken stir fry we ordered was mostly bones, very little meat (photo attached) read more

Unless your little ones can eat spicy, this might be a challenge for young families. Sichuan cooking is an acquired taste. I may not be the best reviewer for this. Food (3.5 stars) + Sichuan pepper fish soup (green) is on the sour side and has the numbing sensation effect that I think is an acquired taste. Their medium order looks huge but it's not that big since the bowl is not deep. Fish was a little fishy. + Chicken in chili oil is generous in portion for a side dish. It looks spicy but it's not as spicy as it looks. - Farmhouse boiling duck has really good flavors but the duck was too bony. It was difficult to eat because of the bones. It's very spicy in a good way. - Cucumbers has too much garlic. And this is coming from someone who loves garlic. Ambiance/Service (4 stars) + I was sweating a storm and I think they were just an earshot away for napkins and more water. + Our group of 6 was seated within 20 minutes although there were many tables for 2 or 4 that were open. + It's a small restaurant with quite a few to go orders I'll be back when my kids are able to spicy. I'll probably skip the duck next time unless the offer boneless option. read more

Wei's is my go-to and I wanted to compare the two. Wei's packaging feels more premium and the soup has more flavor and less oil. I also felt like Wei's gives a bit more food. On the other hand, Seven Fish is in a more convenient location, has easier parking, and is slightly cheaper. They also offer enoki, which is one of my favorites! Seven Fish's soup is more yellow and there is a layer of oil on top. It has red chilis and peppercorns, but it's barely spicy (which is a plus for me). The takeout was packed very thoughtfully, with an extra saran wrap on the outside to prevent leakage. read more

Seven Fish Cuisine - Takeout golden sour soup - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Jose, California

Seven Fish Cuisine may be my first experience with Chinese fish soups, but they certainly set the bar high because this place is excellent. We've already been back three times in the matter of a few weeks and if it was closer to our house that number may have been even higher. Their number one - biggest picture on the menu - dish is the Golden Sour and Spicy Fish Soup which is really unlike anything I've had before. It, along with quite a number of dishes on the menu, leans heavily into Sichuan peppercorn so be prepared to have a numb tongue but the overall flavor is excellent, balancing nicely the spice with the tang and the fish is cooked to perfection, free from bones as well which is always a plus. One of the things that really makes the soup a great dish is the customizability. There is a list of 8-10 potential add-ins including things like tofu, wood ear mushrooms, bean curd strips, etc. For a large soup you get to pick four add-ins for free, and for a small soup you get two. They obviously specialize in fish soups, but they have a number of other dishes including beef soups and other stir-fried dry dishes including pork chops and lemongrass chicken, both of which I can vouch for though be prepared to eat around a lot of bones, especially for the lemon pepper chicken which proved challenging given how small the pieces were cut. On top of being delicious, Seven Fish Cuisine is honestly quite a good deal. The large soups are huge and at under $30 a piece, quite reasonably priced for something that serves 2-3 people. We first came here with another family and we were both pleasantly surprised at the value when it came time to split the bill. Far from standing alone, according the signage on the wall Seven Fish is actually part of a multi-national chain of restaurants with over 500 locations in 200 cities around the world. I guess you don't get that big without doing something right and I can certainly see it because this place is great! read more

Unfortunately I don't remember what we ordered but it was decent! The pickled veggie fish was not too sour and it was served really hot. I burned my tongue eating it. The bean curd could be cooked for longer as it was a bit hard to chew. I think it needs to be soaked in water for a longer period of time. The beef was spicy but the flavor was good! I just wish it had more beef. read more

Seven Fish Cuisine is a "fairly new" place as it's been open for 11 months. First time for me trying this type of place. The interior is modern with simple decor of their dishes from their menu. No music playing, which is nice because you can carry on a conversation. One unisex restroom only. Fish Oil Soup (with Noodles). The dish didn't match the picture in the menu. Broth was temperture-hot and not spicy at all. It was flavorful. The fish, shrimp, and squid were delicately cooked to perfection. It was a good dish (3.5/5). The service is nice and friendly. Support your local business. read more

Wasn't very busy when I went. In a plaza, so parking is not a problem! Service was quick! I ordered the large tomato soup with black fish. Large gets 2 free rice and 4 free toppings/sides to go in the soup! It was tasty and the portion was good for 2 people! I love my tomato soup so it can never go wrong! I also got the crispy coated chicken tender. It was nice and crispy and I really enjoyed the seasoning / flavoring that it comes with. read more

Same concepts to Wei's Fish and Fish With You but the execution here was not as good. I ordered the large tomato fish and the included veggies tasted a little...stinky? As if it were not cleaned well or sitting out for too long. Since it's in the same price range, I'd probably go to the other two places for better execution. read more

Came here on a Sunday to try their sour and spicy fish pot. But the dish that ended up capturing my attention was the beef soup (the soup was the best part imo, pairs perfectly with the complimentary rice) All the dishes are so flavorful & delicious.

Great food, great service. The workers were all super friendly. The waitress even gave us spicy powder on the side just because we were inquiring about whether or not there's a spicy version for the beef soup. We got the two dishes that was marked #1 recommended (one fish + one beef). The beef soup was very good/flavorful so we didn't add spicy powder. The waiter is also observant - he knew that we wanted a refill of the rice before we even said anything. Portion size was pretty big. We got two small, but that was enough to be 5 individual meals (with rice/noodle added). I liked how diverse their menu option is. There are plenty of non-fish item for those who were curious. They also have different soup options available. This was the first restaurant in the Bay Area that I saw offering unlimited noodle refills (for dine in only). We drove all the way to south San Jose (40 min because we were up north) to find out the restaurant we wanted was closing earlier than the time stated, so we had to made some last minute pivot. We arrived here around 3pm, and while the restaurant wasn't full, they were still pretty busy. There were a steady stream of takeout orders & at least 3 or 4 tables there throughout the time we were there. read more

Soldi 4.5 stars, rounding up for good service and reasonable price. Doesn't hurt that it's also in an ideal location near a bunch of desserts for afterwards. Came here with a group of 6, and we luckily beat the dinner rush by coming a bit before 6pm. The inside is kind of cramped, so it's a better fit for smaller parties unless you come earlier and take a lot of their tables to fix together a big one. Service was great - the guy gave good recommendations and told us if we pay in cash we can also each get a free drink from the ridge. Woohoo! We ordered a lot of things: - two types of fish with different bases (one crunchy fish, one is fillet) - chili oil beef - vegetables - dry pot It is unlimited rice but I only needed 1 bowl. The portion was more generous compared to the other fish place (Wei's fish?) and the flavor was more flavorful. Even though my stomach suffered the next day because of the spice, but it was so worth it. I would come here again! So affordable and delicious. read more

it's was just OK. but for the portion size i am giving this place four stars. both of us didn't finish our food and took leftovers home. Golden sour and spicy fish was too bland for me. not sour enough just spicy. beef noodle soup was also bland but beef was tender and noodles were chewy(free refills on noodles). they have a QR code on the table so you order it yourself, but service was fast and friendly. they will check up on you and refill your water constantly. read more

Seven Fish Cuisine - Golden Sour and Spicy Fish Soup (Small) - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Jose, California

Either I don't know how to eat this dish correctly or that the dish itself taste like this. I ordered the top #1 dish the Golden sour and spicy basa fish small portion. It was so strong flavor I can't describe it. Should it be eaten like a fish noodle soup? It was too strong and mouth numbing. So sour and has a strong vinegar type flavor. Later I realised it should be eaten with rice. With rice it was ok. I took a bit of rice and topped with fish and Napa cabbage. I was able to eat few bites like this and that's it. Service was good, dish came super quick. Ambiance is clean and neat too. read more

Let me tell you, we've been here 10+ times in the last month. If that doesn't tell you just how great this place is.. I don't know what will. I don't think there's every a place where I can go 10 times a month, but Seven Fish is it. I was hesitant at once to try this place, but my fiancee kept insisting so we finally did. Since the first time I went, we've been back 10+ times, at least once a week for the past 5+ weeks. Sometimes there's a short wait, but we've always been seated in no more than 5 minutes. You can literally go wrong with nothing on the menu. There is something for everyone. We've tried quite a few things already, but I will talk about a few of our favorites. 1. The whole fish with black bean. This is absolutely my favorite dish here. You get an entire fried fish, on a hot stove plate, covered with chili oil sauce, black bean, and your choice of toppings. We go with tofu, cabbage, noodles and mushrooms. This dish is THE BEST. The fish is so tender, combined with the flavor of the sauce and toppings, you get a beautiful dish. It does come out piping hot on the stove, so be careful. This dish is enough for 2-3 people, and goes great with white rice. (Unlimited rice btw) 2. The beef spicy mix and sichuan chicken. Both dishes are great compliments to the soups and other dishes. They both come cold, with spicy chili oil sauce. The meats are tender and packed with flavor, goes great with rice as well! 3. The speciality pork chop and stir fried beef. WOW. Both dishes are delicious! The pork chop is chopped to perfection, mixed with greens and chili peppers. The beef also comes with veggies. HIGHLY recommend either or both! These are only 3 of the many dishes we've tried. I got to admit, what ever fish they use for any of the dishes, it's my favorite type of fish. I've never been a big fish person until trying Seven Fish. Big compliments to the staff here. It's usually a gentleman and a lady working the entire restaurant. They're super nice and friendly and they hustle. Thank you! Seven Fish, we will see you again very very soon. As always. read more

I took my mom out for Lunar New Year dinner. We wanted to try something new and came across this Seven Fish Cuisine place. There was a sign for soft opening, so I thought it was soft opening. But that wasn't the case, it has been open for at least six months. My mom and I got for the Top No 1 dish recommended on the menu. Le Shan Classic Beef Soup and Golden Sour and Spicy Fish soup. I requested for mild for the Golden Sour and Spicy Fish soup with winter melon and tofu bean curd as my two choices for the sides that comes the meal that is added to your soup. The soup was still a bit too spicy for me to drink the soup. I should have told them to not add the hot peppers. If you like to eat spicy, you will like this soup as well as other spicy options. My mom and I enjoyed the beef soup better because it wasn't spicy. On a cold winter night, this place is perfect for soups! You get unlimited of rice with your soup. But my mom and I don't eat much rice. If you do, this is a perfect place for you. Overall, I would come back and try other soup options. And I was told if I pay cash, I can get a free drink. read more

Randomly came across this place and decided to come in for an early dinner and it did not disappoint! The menu is pretty straight forward with a good variety of items. We got their number one seller (Golden sour & spicy fish soup) and it came with two add ons, we choose the enoki mushrooms and potato noodles and it was a perfect edition! The soup was umami, salty, savory; the fish was tender, and the mustard greens really tied everything together. They also offer unlimited rice which always is a good plus. The pork chop had a kick of Szechuan spice and good texture with the crunch of the onions and celery. The items were affordable and came with more than enough to feed two and have leftovers. Service was also friendly and attentive. Would definitely come back and try different dishes! read more

Ordered the Golden Sour and Spicy Fish Soup. A bit of a niche dish that's more commonly found in San Francisco or Fremont, so I was happy to see it offered here in San Jose. Having had many variations of this dish across NorCal and SoCal, I do wish this version had more heat. It was flavorful but noticeably milder than expected. I'm not sure if it was adjusted to suit the local demographic. A spicier kick would've really brought the dish to life. It came with a side of rice, which paired perfectly. The portion size was generous. Enough for two full meals for two people. We had ordered to-go and I was impressed with the packaging Secure and leak-free. Always appreciated. Overall, still a solid find for this type of dish in San Jose. Would come back to try more. read more

I came here with my parents; they've never had this type of dish before and I had a feeling they would like this. We ordered the most popular soup along with a mala soup (both size small). Even though the small is technically meant for one person, I feel like the portion was perfect for three people. The soups were very flavorful and delicious. Might be too authentic for those who don't eat Chinese food regularly but I loved it! Service was quick despite how busy it was.

TLDR: Awesome Taiwanese Sausages. Good Fish Soup I really like the sausages. They are sweet, and salty, and juicy. My wife really likes the fish oil soup. Mainly because it's one of the few non-spicy dishes. If you like spice, especially the Szechuan pepper, then you will like this place. The fish was very soft, and silky smooth. It comes with rice. If you pay cash, you can get a free drink. The waitresses are nice and friendly. They give you menus, and you can either order from your phone or from the wait staff. It's supposedly a soft opening, but the food came quickly and best of all, not too busy. We've been here twice already, and I think anytime my wife wants soup, this may be the new go-to spot. read more

I think this is a new spot for Sichuan sour fish soup, based on the number of reviews, so we decided to give it a try. There's a paper waitlist where you can write your name, no Yelp reservations yet. We waited about 10-15 minutes on a Friday evening for a table for two. *Sichuan Pepper Spicy Fish Soup - Spicy, savory and tangy, all in one sip! The soup has a very bold and strong flavor, making you want to keep slurping for more. However, compared to other places, it is slightly oily. We ordered the large option for two people and got four toppings, which is perfect for 2-3 people. You also get unlimited rice with the small size for one person or with the large size for two. The menu is quite Chinese-oriented, so if you can't read Chinese, you might not fully understand some items, but they have photos for most of them. *Brown Sugar Cake - glutinous rice cake is lightly fried and drizzled with brown sugar and soybean powder. Delicious! The service is friendly and quick, and I had no issues with it. read more
