This is a great place for when you're craving hearty soups and good comfort food!! All the entrees we ordered were SO flavorful, and the spicy ones have a good kick to them as well. Definitely try the side dishes, especially the Taiwanese sausages! Also the regular portion size says it's for one person but honestly was enough to feed 1-3 people haha! Service was great too--friendly and attentive staff, and everything came out pretty quickly.
Been wanting to try YONNY and so glad that they have a location in Irvine now! Love their suancai fish, the basa fish was tender, and I liked that it came with vermicelli. We also tried the spicy fish came with sliced potatoes and wide sweet potato noodles, which was another favorite. The golden soup beef was also really flavorful, with lots of pickled veggies and a savory, tangy, slightly spicy broth. We tried a few snacks as well, and everything was good, but the squid skewer was probably the biggest surprise! The cumin seasoning went really well with the squid, and the texture was perfect. What we ordered: -Traditional Laotan Suancai Fish -Classic Spicy Fish -Golden Soup Beef Slices -Spicy Crispy Pork -Taiwanese Sausage -Grilled Giant Squid Skewer -White Rice
Yonny might be our new go to spot as it checks off everything. It's open late, amazing delicious food, big portions and affordable. The rice cakes came out first so we snacked on that and it's chewy and warm and sweet from the syrup and soybean powder. I was a bit worried it would get cold and hard after our meal but it stayed chewy even after for a little dessert. We got the traditional suancai fish and that first bite is so addicting. The fish is so tender, it's packed with veggies, the soup is a bit tangy, and there's lots of noodles. It came with rice and the regular bowl was a big hefty size that we split it between two people. The peppercorns became a bit too much to eat towards the end so I just drank the broth with the rice.
The spicy fish & beef soup hits you with that perfect one‑two punch: bold heat up front, deep savory richness underneath, and a bright, tangy finish from the pickled vegetables that keeps every bite exciting. This broth doesn't play around. It's spicy in a way that feels intentional -- layered, aromatic, and full of character. You get chili warmth, a little numbing tingle, and that slow-building heat that makes you pause between spoonfuls just to appreciate it.
We stopped in for dinner the other night. Parking is a little tight as there are a lot of other restaurants in the shopping center. The restaurant itself is warm and inviting. We started with spicy crispy pork that was delicious. Give me that and some rice and I am good. We also got a Taiwanese sausage that was a little sweet but still pretty good. The stars of the show are the fish soups. We got the Traditional Laotan Suancai Fish that was amazing. Lots of met in your mouth fish, vermicelli noodles and numbing peppercorn. We also got the Tom Yum Fish that was mildly spicy and filled with that same melt in your mouth fish and lots of vegetables. Both are so warm and comforting. We ended with brown sugar rice cakes and coconut lava balls. The rice cakes were sweet with a mochi like consistency. The coconut lava balls were delicious but they are piping hot so give them a chance to cool down a bit before pulling them apart or biting into them. Wonderful comfort food with great service will make this a spot to visit again and again!
This is the second location I've been to, the first being the one in Arcadia. This time I ordered the Traditional Laotian Suancai fish soup and it was interesting but good. My tongue going numb from the spices was a unique experience. For appetizers we ordered crispy pork, Taiwan sausage, coconut milk balls, and rice cake with brown sugar and they were all good!
I've always passed by this place on my way to the malatang next door and I finally decided to stop by when my friend wanted to try out their suancai yu aka Chinese sauerkraut fish. I honestly wish I had tried out this spot way earlier! It's so yummy. I highly highly recommend their signature hot-oil suancai fish and it's served with snakehead fish. I like adding some add-ons like their celtuce and glass noodle, but the portions are quite big. The regular portion feels like it's enough for two people, so not only is it delicious but it's pretty affordable. The suancai fish is a great dish to share with family or friends. It's fragrant and just a little spicy, enough to feel the tingliness on the tongue.
Stumbled here looking for dinner at 11pm. They are open till 1am and the service was good. The food is something I have never tried or even seen before. I tried the sauncai fish and crispy pork. The pork was super good and crunchy. Has nice seasoning with a bit of Szechuan peppercorn so had that tingling feeling. The fish was good as it had a sour taste to it but not a strong one. Had a good spice to it as well. First time trying suancai fish and did enjoy it. They have regular size and even that was a lot of food just for me.
I had an absolute amazing experience here. I have not personally really had this type of Chinese hot pot before, with fresh fish and huge flavors in the soup! Wow the staff were really nice, the place was clean! My first time having the Mao Xue Wang, and their signature traditional Laotan Suancai Fish. I love how there was some mala and sourness from the Vege with the fresh fish. I am getting hungry thinking about what I had. You can grab your own chopsticks and napkins from the drawers, you get rice included, and one pot is quite large. Three of us ordered 2 pots and it was already so much! I hope they will open towards the inland empire. I heard that they also have another location in ktown as well as special promos! Can't wait to come back and try some other dishes! Until next time
I finally stopped by to try Yonny and I'm glad I did! I tried the Signature Hot Oil Suancai Fish ($19.95), Traditional Laotan Suancai Fish ($17.95 + $2 for Snakehead), and Coconut Lava Balls ($6.95). I was afraid that both of these flavors would taste similar, but they weren't! Honestly, I don't know which one I liked more and will probably order both every time I come. If you like a more sour flavor, go with the Traditional Laotan Suancai Fish. I paid the premium to get that one with Snakehead Fish and I highly recommend doing that because it tastes so much better. I love that this place gives you rice with your order and you have the option to choose between white or purple rice. I felt the portion was great considering it was a take-out order. The Coconut Lava Balls were also really good and not too sweet. The restaurant itself looks nice for dining in. The one thing I was not a fan of was the lady who was working and only spoke Mandarin even though I was signaling how I do not understand what she's saying. She can apparently speak some English to another person who was picking up a DoorDash order, but when it came to me, it seemed like she expected me to understand her. Even when I was paying at the register, the screen was all written in Chinese... I didn't even know which button to click to say "pay" or "okay" and she just seemed annoyed that I was confused. For this, they lost a star. The food is good and I'll be coming back for that. I just hope that the next time I come, speaking Mandarin will not be an expectation of me.
I've already been here 3x since they opened. It's my new favorite spot. The broths are so flavorful. The traditional laotan fish with snakehead fish is my favorite so far. You order by scanning the QR code at the end of the table and submitting it. Napkins and chopsticks are in the pullout drawer under the table, but they give the soup spoons when they serve you. If you order the large, you can share with another person since it comes with two bowls of rice. It's a much better price than ordering two different bowls separately. I'm gonna have to warn you that even if you can tolerate spice, I would rethink ordering the one with green peppercorns. I can handle Buldak noodles and medium level spice at malatang, but this soup almost ended me.
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.
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.

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

I reeeeally wanted to like this place but too many things happened. Starting off with my dish going to another table where I saw the guy moving things around in the bowl and letting the waitress know it's not his dish. She then just took the bowl and gave it to me, even though the guy had used his chopsticks to eat rice and used them to move things around in the bowl. The owner/manager(?) was kind enough to replace it and get me a new one, but unfortunately I found a fly floating in the soup! I had already eaten most of it so we just let the owner/manager know about it. He just gave the excuse of it being in the soup because we were under a vent. Which made no sense since I think I actually saw the fly earlier in the soup but at the time I thought it was seasoning :( My review is not a one star because the flavor of the soup was actually really good. But all I got was the soup replaced and an excuse. Needless to say, I will not be returning. read more

Highly reccomend the food and vibes when you need some quiet time 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

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

I came here with my husband and we both really enjoyed it. The restaurant is clean and comfortable, and the service was friendly. The sauerkraut fish was warm, flavorful, and comforting, with tender fish and a great broth. I also love that they offer free rice refills. As someone from Yunnan studying nursing in the U.S., this meal really reminded me of home. Would definitely come back! read more

Chinese spot that specializes in Sichuan Fish with Picked Mustard Greens. It's a small spot with not much ambiance but the food is on point. The soup is rich, hot, sour, spicy, numbing all at the same time. Pretty awesome. Great for a cold day. They're also open late! I came by myself and the service was great. read more
