This review is for the food only, as it was taken to-go. Wow!!! What an amazing restaurant! I'm absolutely obsessed with Shui Zhu Yu, but I thought I'd try something different today as Yonny had been on my radar ever since it opened a few months ago. I ordered their Laotan suancai fish (regular) for take out, and it did not disappoint! This was my first time ever trying this dish, and I was a bit nervous about the mustard greens, but this dish came together so nicely. It had the perfect amount of acidity and heat, and the slightly creamy broth was so addicting. I'm so glad I took the chance to try this dish that I've never tried before. I highly recommend anyone to try this restaurant, even if it's out of your comfort zone! I will definitely be back, and hopefully next time I will dine-in to get the full experience. read more

Yonny - Laotan suancai fish (regular) to go! - Chinese Near Me - Irvine, California

This is a cuisine I have consistently enjoyed eating after trying Fish with You in Rowland Heights. We ordered the Laotan Suancai fish soup and the golden beef soup. Both had great flavor. I liked the glass noodles that came with the soups, which is something new to me. And free rice refills! The service and the ambience were great as well. I would definitely recommend Yonny if you are in the Irvine area! read more

The bag said Fish with you as the name of this place but Yelp has a different name. It is next to Tea by do and the employee said the owner is the same for both places. I got a drink next door so they gave me a free appetizer. I got the snake fish with scallions flavored soup to try. It was very delicious. I ordered a medium and it was definitely enough to share with 2 people. It also came with a side of rice. Definitely will come back again. read more

Friendly service + warm ambience + right next to TeabyDo! We ordered the tomato and tom-yum soup flavor. Tom-yum had a little bit of coconut curry flavor for some reason, but my friend liked it. I enjoyed the tomato broth although it was a little sweet. Portion sizing is not as big as it looks. Fried dough sticks were also hot and had nice texture. read more

Small but so bright and clean! The service is super friendly and nice. There is only one woman serving yet she makes sure everyone is well taken care of! The food is spot on delicious. Traditional flavors and dishes. The Laotan Sauerkraut Fish had the perfect level of spicy and sour so as not to overpower the fish. Also enjoyed the golden soup beef. It was a notch spiced but also well flavored and balanced. The Linyi chicken is super tender and flavorful. I would for sure recommend trying. Ended the meal with the coconut lava balls! Oh so delicious and fun to eat with the crunchy outside and the lava inside. Can't wait to bring my family as the portions are big enough to share! read more

I love a good Chinese fish dish and this place delivers! Ordering is easy with the QR code at the table and utensils and napkins can be found inside a drawer at your table. The whole restaurant was serviced by one friendly and efficient lady, so major kudos to her! We had the Green Peppercorn Fish which is my personal fave since it comes with a variety of toppings and pickled veggies. Also had the Golden Beef Soup which was also delicious. Highly recommend getting the perfectly fried crispy pork to change up the texture. read more

If life feels a little spicy lately, YONNY Fish With You in Irvine will somehow make it better... by making it even spicier. They're known for their authentic Sichuan sauerkraut fish, and honestly, the broth is so rich, sour, and comforting that it feels like emotional support soup. The fish is super tender, the portions are huge, and suddenly sharing food becomes a trust exercise. People also love the crispy fried pork, stirred fried chicken, sliced beef sauerkraut and grilled octopus that somehow disappear before the table can agree to order another one. They're open until 1:30 AM too, because apparently healing and spicy food decisions both happen after midnight. Overall, it's the perfect spot for late-night cravings, catching up with friends, or quietly recovering from the week with a bowl of spicy happiness. read more

Our first time visiting Yonny. Tried the traditional laotan fish - i really enjoyed the flavor, kind of sour, but not too much. It went well with rice. The stir fried chicken was also very flavorful and tender. Efficient service read more

Sauerkraut fish speciality store finally opened its Irvine location. Dishes come in two sizes, small is good for single person and large is recommended for 2-3 ppl. One Free rice per person. We ordered the sauerkraut fish in large with add on of vegetable and tofu skin. It was huge! Also tried the coconut curry fish which is full of southeast Asian flavor and golden soup beef slices with delicious broth. Both dishes are single serving but big enough to feed two people. Appetizers and desserts are not to be missed. Fried spicy crispy pork, rice cakes with brown sugar. Coconut lava balls were gone in minutes. read more

I dropped in here on a Sunday right in the middle of the day, and the place was completely packed. It is a tiny spot, but that is usually the best sign when it comes to authentic Szechuan food. The service is honestly what made the experience so great. The staff is incredibly friendly and kind. Even with every single table full, they went out of their way to check on everyone and genuinely cared that we were enjoying the food. You do not always get that kind of hospitality in busy restaurants. As for the food, the portions are huge and served in these massive bowls that are perfect for sharing. Everything is very reasonably priced, especially since it comes with rice. If you love heat, this is your place. The Szechuan spice level is legit, with that perfect numbing peppercorn kick that builds as you eat. The broth is incredibly flavorful, vibrant, and packed with a serious punch. It is a small space, but they deliver big flavor and amazing service. I will definitely be back read more

Yonny is a Chinese chain famous for their suancai fish aka sauerkraut fish (which sounds kind of weird until I realized it was just fish with pickled cabbage). I came for lunch and was surprised to see that the restaurant was completely full, even though they just opened a few weeks ago. I ordered their most popular dish - Traditional Laotan Suancai Fish. It had a one pepper spice level, so I was a little worried it might be too much for me, but it turned out to be perfect. The regular bowl looks deceptively large and is a generously portioned for one person. Rice, either white or purple, comes with it. Loved the flavor of the dish. You can get it with basa fish or pay $2 for snakehead (I chose basa and was perfetctly happy). If you like that numbing peppercorn experience, there's their second most popular dish, the Green Peppercorn Suancai Fish (two pepper spice level), perfect for my husband. Service was attentive (though there are some kinks - they brought by a couple of dishes that weren't ours). The restaurant is very clean, bright and modern. They did a great job of remodeling the dark Indian restaurant that was here previously. While we were eating, my husband was already thinking about what he was going to order on our next visit. Yonny was the best meal I've had in a long time. Look forward to going back! read more

Yay no need to drive to Rowland! But the menu here is smaller in terms of apps $54?? For two meals and an app with leftovers ! Rice refills are free :0 Idk how healthy this is .. essentially it's fish hot pot, so there's a chance there's a good amount of salt in it, but I only drank two small cups of water ?? Wasn't that oily to me. Flavorful and light enough for Chinese food! I got #2 best seller, and tho it's good, their #1 is amazing! The broth for #1 is deeper/richer, almost like a beefy taste. Didn't seem that spicy compared to #2. The thicker flat mung bean noodles are delicious with the broth. #2 is a little more fresh/sour tasting but it wasn't overwhelming with tingle. I found mung bean noodles in mine and it went really well with the soup. For the fish, we went with the basa fish. Easy to eat! Fried pork didn't seem overly battered, but could use better marinade or a heavier seasoning. You can order via QR code, or order with the workers. Accepts Amex read more

Yonny Fish With You is definitely one of the best Sichuan experiences I've ever had. I'm still thinking about the delicious food the next day. Their fish is fresh, the beef was tender, and the fried pork did not get soggy even while in the broth! I got 3 different soups, and all 3 broths had the perfect balance of savory, tangy, spicy, and numbing. The soups I had were all comforting, bold, and flavorful. The portions were large. The grilled squid was the best I've had in years. The coconut lava balls were a good "not too sweet" way to end the meal. My server Sammi was fantastic. Highly recommend, and I already can't wait to go back! read more

Big fan of Fish With You and we were thrilled when this opened so that we could try the spicy oil tossed mix. Honestly wouldn't get it again since their other dishes are better. The image also shows that it has duck blood, but we didn't get any. We asked our server and he immediately brought out a small bowl of duck blood which we really appreciated. Also like that they had a multigrain purple rice read more

Their soups are delicious and very big portions to share with your group. The Stir fried chicken is my favorite as it has so much flavor and i would definitely order it again. The service was quick and very attentive , even though they're a newer restaurant. They are running it well, can't wait to see it do as well as the Rowland Heights location. The ambiance is good, it's a smaller place but it has plenty of 4-6 tables for decently sized parties. read more

Excited to see a Yonny branch (also known as Fish With You at other locations) open here in Irvine! It's part of a popular global franchise known for modern Sichuan-style fish dishes. This style of Chinese food is bold and comforting, built around sour and spicy broths that are great on their own or paired with plenty of rice. It definitely has some heat though, so if you're spice-sensitive, be prepared (or be prepared to sweat a lot like I did lol). They're especially known for suāncài yú, a classic Sichuan dish featuring tender white fish simmered in a tangy broth made with pickled mustard greens, chili oil, and aromatics. We ordered Yonny's version (called "Signature Hot-Oil Suancai Fish" on their menu), and it absolutely delivered in both spice and flavor. We also tried the Mao Xue Wang dish, a hearty Sichuan stew loaded with meats, tofu, vegetables, and blood curd, all swimming in a chili-oil-heavy broth with a good amount of numbing heat. Since they've just opened, there's still a bit of chaotic soft-opening energy, but the food itself is very solid. They also offer takeout if you want to enjoy this at home. If you enjoy bold Chinese flavors, Yonny is a great new addition to Irvine, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more of the menu. Side note: the plaza is quickly becoming a great food destination. Yoo's Place is right next door for great Korean comfort food, Frank's BBQ & Duck is just steps away for Cantonese roast meats, and YGF Malatang is right around the corner if you're craving something similarly spicy. read more

Stopped by here after catching a basketball game at the local university ... this has got be among the best cuisine I've had in Southern California! I was in the mood for some type of fish and broth, so I had their Signature Hot Oil Suancai Fish soup. My server notified me I made the best choice and I was beyond satisfied. The portion for one person is plentiful, not overwhelming, and a beautiful presentation. The fragrance, flavors, and aromatics were perfect and delicious! They do not play with their spiciness, so choose accordingly. Parking is definitely doable and free (it seems) on a Tuesday night. They are open late, are friendly, helpful, and the service is on point. I'll be stopping by here next time I visit SoCal. read more

Found my new Asian spot. Came here for lunch couple days ago and had the green peppercorn fish soup. It was tasty but a tiny bit salty. I wish it had more spice but the numbing was perfect. There were a few tables occupied and you know it is a good place when it's all Asians lol. I also tried the rice cake with brown sugar. It was chewy and perfectly sweet. I will definitely come back here. I saw a couple tables ordering a beef dish in a pot. It is very casual place. read more

We got the signature soup. So yummy! Big bowl. Highly recommended. Also got crispy pork as appetizer. We'll come back!

this was the best restaurant. I was on vacation in Newport Beach and absolutely love the food and the service and the vibe.

We visited on a Wednesday evening around 7:30 PM with a party of five, and the restaurant was already packed. I enjoy spicy food, and while the dishes may look intimidating in photos, they weren't overwhelmingly spicy at all. Highlights included the signature fish, which was incredibly flavorful and paired perfectly with QQ wide potato noodles. I also loved the Mao Xue Wang but just a heads-up that it includes blood curd and offal, which I personally enjoy but may not be for everyone. The dessert rice cake was a great way to end the meal, offering a nice contrast to the savory dishes. Service was excellent as well, especially impressive given it was during their soft opening. Super excited to add Yonny to my go to spots in Irvine! read more

Very very delicious. Large portions for a great price, will definitely be back again!

Taste: 4. Good quality, a bit salty, but fine Portion : a little inconsistent. I've been to this restaurant 3 times. Ordered the same dish, and first time portion is generous, and it became smaller. Service: hit and miss. Service tend to be more consistent during lunch. Evening crew has miscommunication a few times. What to watch out for: I was charged for extra rice, even though this restaurant is known for all you can eat rice. They said I asked for two bowl of rice at the beginning, but I simply just want to save the server one more trip. And I finished both bowls and ordered another rice afterwards, so technically i finished all I ordered. I complained to staff and got that removed, but it shouldn't have been added to check. Will I visit again: maybe. This store opens till 1am so if I have a late night gathering I might consider this place, but maybe not a main choice of restaurant. read more
