    Basil Popcorn Chicken
    Shaun L.

    Clean, affordable and tasty! The fish bowls are huge! If you are sharing it with one person, you will have plenty of leftovers. The popcorn chicken was cooked perfectly. There's plenty of space, it does almost look like a cafeteria style ambiance. The service was good, they were nice and attentive. They messed up an order but apologized and fixed our bill.

    One of my favorite grilled fish spot, the flavor is intense and pickled one is my favorite. The ending of sweet herb jelly really hits the spot. The fried calamari can be skipped. They first fried the fish then put it in soup and it makes everything well Blended together. Pair it with rice or ask for extra noodles. Can't go wrong with this place. It's clean and tidy in the restaurant. The staffs are friendly as well.

    I'm a huge Nai bro fan when it comes to getting my weekly spicy/sauerkraut fish fix. But I decided to switch it up one day and try this new spot out. The restaurant is spacious and has lots of seating. Menu is pretty standard and not too elaborate. I ordered their golden soup with snakehead fish. They start you off with complimentary appetizer and give you free grass jelly dessert at the end. The golden soup is okay, the flavor is pretty mild compared to Nai Bro and the spice level is mild. I think Young Fish offers better fish quality though. Fish is definitely a lot more smooth. Rice comes with the meal and refills are complimentary if you order a large. I notice this place is pretty popular with families and the elderly. It might be because the flavor of the soups here are more mild and a healthier alternative compared to similar restaurants like Nai Bro and Fish With You, that offers spicier fish dishes. I wasn't crazy about this place in the beginning but it has definitely warmed up to me and I've frequented it more often after my first visit.

    I want to come back on my next meal. Service is good and zero wait. The ambiance is like a cafeteria. The food is delicious. It's not expensive. We order a bit too much for a table of three. They give you unlimited rice with all the spicy food. Best of all, they end this with a free dessert. Why can't all restaurants do that. Ambiance yes can be minimal and cafeteria. It's clean.

    Great value for the family! We came to here on a Saturday around 1pm with my hubby and kids, and it turned out to be such a pleasant surprise! The staff were friendly and helpful--most spoke Mandarin, but they made sure to find someone who could communicate with me in English/Cantonese. The place felt cozy, casual, and clean (even the bathroom was clean--and requires a code). If you enjoy pickled or slightly sour flavors in your food, this place is definitely for you! Their broths and sauces have that appetizing tang that really wakes up your taste buds. Highly recommend their combo meals for around $21-$24 per person, you get a drink (non-specialty options like mango passion fruit tea or hot tea), an appetizer, and your main fish dish. Such great value these days! Here's what we tried: * French fries - Surprisingly great, crispy like McDonald's! * Crispy pork- A bit on the chewy side; I think I'll try the popcorn chicken next time. * Mango passion fruit tea - Too sweet for me, but hubby really enjoyed it. * Hot tea - Loved their paper cup design that keeps all the tea leaves at the bottom--very clever! * Chili oil fish soup- Nicely balanced! Not too spicy, but with a gradual, warming heat that builds in a pleasant way. * Scallion sauerkraut fish - The basa fish was fresh and tender, and the broth with napa cabbage and bok choy hit the spot--perfect for a chilly day. * Brown sugar cakes - love how lightly crisp it is on the outside and soft and warm on the inside with the brown sugar middle. *Herbal jelly dessert - A complimentary surprise at the end--such a refreshing way to finish the meal! With inflation these days, it's hard to find a meal that's both tasty and affordable, but this place delivers. Great find for families and those looking to have balanced and affordable three course meal! IG: Jubes111 YouTube: JujubiFam

    The portions here are huge and the flavors really hit. This is one of the many Sichuan big plate spots that have been opening up around the city, and so far all of them have been great, especially this one. For $13.95, a single plate could easily feed two or more people. The fish is super fresh, flaky but still has a nice snap, and the broths have a ton of flavor and variety. If you like the classic mala spicy and sour broth, go for the green Sichuan peppercorn version. If you're not into spicy food, the tomato broth is a solid choice. For the $21 combo, you get a huge plate of broth with fish and vegetables, plus your choice of fried chicken or pork slices and those portions are big along with a drink and rice included. You don't find that kind of value very often. After your meal, they even give you a free dessert a cold herbal jelly that's the perfect refreshing way to cool down after all the spice.

    Great corner restaurant with sauerkraut fish. The service was great, it was friendly and attentive. There are plenty of tables in fours or twos and it is bright inside, but not overly bright with blinds. The sauerkraut fish was an acquire taste which I'm not used to because of the sourness, but can see myself liking it more because I love fish. The fish was also thinly sliced with sour mustard greens, cabbage and potato noodles. I got set B which is a snakehead fish and chose the green peppercorn flavor, with popcorn chicken and winter melon ginger green tea. The popcorn chicken was fresh and tasty. The drink was more green tea flavor and wished it had more ginger flavor, will definitely pick something else next time. I think the set is enough for 2 people because it was a lot of food. When we sat down we got cucumber salad with peanuts and at the end of the meal got a lychee grass jelly dessert which was refreshing after the mala feeling from the peppercorn.

    Young Fish is a new addition to the 8th Ave Chinatown food scene, and with sauerkraut fish becoming so popular, it's nice to see another spot open up on the strip. The interior is clean, though the seating setup feels a little awkward. When we were seated, a cart of garbage was being pushed around and at one point it was left right next to our table, which definitely took away from the dining experience. That said, the servers were super friendly and welcoming. The service wasn't bad, just a bit slow, but that could be them working out some kinks since they're still new. As for the food, it was okay but nothing that really stood out. Compared to other sauerkraut fish restaurants, it felt like it was missing a little something to make it memorable. I was hoping it would be on par with some of the Flushing spots so I wouldn't have to travel that far, but it fell short. Overall, it wasn't a bad meal, but not a place I'd rush back to.

    Cucumber Salad - Free Appetizer
    Cynthia L.

    I am happy that 8th Avenue is getting new restaurant spots like these! Young Fish is a Sichuan cuisine focusing on fish - sauerkraut and grilled fish styles. This type of fish dish usually comes at a higher price tag but Young Fish seems to be able to make the fish dishes affordable by making it portions for one or two people. My hubs and I enjoyed our weekend dinner here. The restaurant was filled up but we were lucky there was one free table that night. We ordered the Green Sichuan Peppercorn Sauerkraut Fish (we chose basa) for two people. I enjoyed the flavors of the sauerkraut and the fish filets were fresh. This fish dish is not spicy at all to me but it is a bit numbing due to the peppercorn ingredient. We both enjoyed it! To start, everyone gets the Cucumber Salad, this was pretty good. For appetizer, we ordered a Crispy Squid on the side - it was nicely fried in batter and not greasy at all. We ordered the Passionfruit Jasmine Tea and it was very refreshing and not too sweet. In the end, we got a jelly dessert. It's a nice addition to help cool down the spice we just ate. Next time, I would like to come try the Grilled Fish! I saw another table ordered this and it was on a cute small grill. I have only had grilled fish with family and it is usually a huge portion. It would be nice to get it for my hubs and I or just for me! :)

    3.5/5 Super spacious, big for groups too. I liked the grilled fish a lot more than the sauerkraut fish. The grilled fish is heavily battered and deep fried before it gets to the table. I'm used to, and prefer, the way the other restaurants in the area does it, where there's less coating and less of a fried taste. The size of the fish isn't bad either, but it's a very bony fish overall. I would still come back to get this again, especially if I'm craving a fried fish. The garlic sauce it comes is really good and the batter soaks up everything nicely. Ordered the chili oil sauerkraut with the snakehead fish. The single portion is enough for two people to try, but won't get full from. They do add a lot of the veggies and noodles, but overall, the taste was a little lacking and watered down. I wasn't a big fan of the fish itself either. Service is pretty good for 8th Ave, and comes with free jelly dessert at the end.

    This place was SO GOOD! For basically $15, you get a large bowl of soup, rice, appetizer and dessert?! In this economy? With how tasty everything was. I almost wanted to gatekeep this place yall. Definitely get the Sour Fish soup. You also get to choose the fish and I went with their Base default option which was basically fish without the skin and thicker meat.

    Young Fish in Brooklyn is a solid spot for a quick tasty meal. Service was friendly and welcoming. It was a nice touch that they started us off with a small complimentary salad of peanuts and wood ear mushrooms since I don't go for big portions of that stuff. The tables are a bit tight, but the place was fairly empty when I went so it didn't feel cramped. Their rice is a highlight, with a wall of rice cookers, cooked to just the right texture. I really enjoyed the scallion sauerkraut fish, hearty and flavorful, and my partner loved the golden beef noodle soup. Portions are a bit smaller than this other spot, but I'll take their flavors over theirs. The meal ended with a complimentary grass jelly dessert, not memorable but a sweet little gesture.

    Crispy Pork
    Shirley C.

    This place is fairly new to the area and has been packed every time I've walked by. I finally decided to stop in and see what the hype was about. My friend and I shared the crispy pork and the garlic pepper grilled fish, which the staff recommended as the least spicy option. They started us off with a complimentary pickled cucumber dish that was super refreshing and really helped open up our appetites. The crispy pork was full of flavor and nicely seasoned with a hint of peppercorn. But the real highlight was the garlic pepper grilled fish. It came out sizzling and smelled amazing. The fish was a good size, served with a mix of fresh vegetables and glass noodles. The fish was perfectly cooked with a crispy skin and a soft, flaky interior. My spice tolerance is pretty low and this dish had just the right amount of heat. A little kick, but nothing overwhelming. Service was excellent and the staff were very attentive. A must visit for fish lovers!

It was around 4:30pm and when we arrived, it was empty which was perfect for us. Space is big and spacious and their tables, plating, and decor really stood out to me. Seemed fancier than other Chinese restaurants! Ordered a variety of dishes and they were all really large portions and well-prepared. None were overly salty or sweet, just right. My favorite was their chicken, eggplant and salted fish claypot dish. It's one of my favorite dishes in general and they made it very well.

The meal includes geoduck sashimi, jellyfish & mixed appetizer, soup, steamed fish, crab & lobster with sticky rice, abalone, steamed shrimp, noodles, and veggies. Some dishes were bigger than others. Both times I came they didn't have abalone so we substitute the dish for garlic scallop (which I prefer). The menu also says it comes with house special dessert but we never gotten any. For any seafood, it's market price plus they add a 30% processing fee, which is strange to me. For a Chinese restaurant which usually does not charge tax if you pay with cash, they charge tax here whether you pay by card or cash. The restaurant is pretty big and spacious. They have pretty large tables, suitable for parties and celebrations. There's a private space upstairs with 3 large tables for parties. The restaurant is pretty slow in the afternoon.

    So so good! Pricing is fantastic for happy hour…read more We ordered the following and only spent about $100 before tip: Drinks -Mi Barrio (HH - $11) -Bay Ridge Baby (HH - $11) -Bar Chuzo Margarita (HH - $11) -Rose Sangria (HH - $11) Food -Mini Salchipapa (HH - $11) -Ecuadorian Hot Dog (HH - $5) -Pork Chuzo Platter ($18) -Ecuadorian Chorizo Platter ($16) Everything was delicious. Our favorite was the Salchipapa and the yuca croquettes from the platters which we could eat plates of. Between the pork and chorizo, I thought the pork was more flavorful but the chorizo was also very good. Out of the drinks, I enjoyed the bar Chuzo margarita the best. Since it's a clarified drink, it looks different from a regular margarita but oh so delicious. My least favorite was the sangria but I don't usually enjoy wine. When we entered there was only one other table occupied. Food and drinks were served quickly. Their menu is also great in delineating between GF= Gluten Free | DF= Dairy Free | V= Vegetarian | V+= Vegan. I would 100% come back during or not during happy hour. Highly recommend.

    Bar Chuzo is doing something really special with Latin cuisine and this meal was proof of that…read more Creative, bold and intentional, every dish delivered! The Tuna Aguachile was a standout! The sushi grade tuna and avocado layered together in a bright, herbaceous broth that had just the right amount of heat and freshness. The Scallop Crudo was equally impressive, silky smooth scallops with a citrusy, slightly sweet backdrop that let the quality of the fish shine. The Crab Cake was well seasoned and had this beautiful depth of flavor from the Ecuadorian manglar crab, not your average crab cake at all. And the Chicken Chuzo Platter genuinely surprised me. I normally avoid skewer style meats because they tend to come out dry but this chicken was incredibly moist, tender and packed with flavor from the brasa marinade. Served alongside yuca croquettes and Andean corn, it was a full, satisfying plate. On the drinks side the Light Roast Espresso Martini was smooth, perfectly foamy and had this lovely depth without being overly sweet. And the Ruby Rose Cooler? As a pink grapefruit lover, this one was made for me. Bright, refreshing and dangerously easy to sip.

    Rude hostess/manager. Seems to overbook and makes you wait 30-40 minutes even with reservation…read more I want to preface that this review post is not related to our actual server but instead with the hostess/manager. We made a reservation about a month in advance for a party of 16 which was confirmed by the restaurant. As we were on our way to the restaurant, they called us asking if we were really going to be a party of 16 which we thought was odd. We get to the restaurant and I let the hostess know that we were there for the 5pm reservation and it was about 5:05. She said that the table is still not ready. Then about a few minutes later the manager comes over and says it'll be about 2 more minutes. At this point it's about 5:15. Then the manager comes back over and says we're getting your table ready outside (which also was set up outside where it was no longer part of the actual restaurant which makes no sense) - it's much cooler outside than it is inside - does he think I'm stupid or naive? It's literally sweltering outside at around 90 degrees meanwhile indoors it's air conditioned. At this point I'm starting to get very annoyed as I see the hostess and the manager conversing with each other and then glaring back at me especially the hostess giving me nasty looks. Her job is in customer service - if she doesn't like her job then don't work there and maybe do a better job at managing reservations. Then the manager comes to me and points to the room behind the hostess stand and proceeds to tell me that the table is reserved for a party of 30 and in my head I'm like I literally made a reservation a month ago. He tells me that if we want to sit inside we have to wait 30 minutes - seriously? They definitely overbooked and didn't know how to handle the situation. Then he comes over to tell me that they have a table but they need it back in 1.5 hours and I said fine - so dumb because if they had originally given us the table at 5 we would've been out of there by 7 but instead we didn't get done til close to 7:30 because of their ineptitude. As it's nearing 7pm the manager comes over and asks how everything is and unfortunately one of our party guests still didn't have his meal - guess they forgot to put the order in so that also took longer - they needed us to get out by 7 to turn the table over. After a while the manager comes back and says to us "Are you happy now?" What is that supposed to mean? If you're going to ask like that then NO. This is absolutely unacceptable. Then as I walk out of the restaurant I see the party that must've had the reservation at 7pm go "oh this must be the party." Yea you can thank the manager for your late seating. We will definitely not be returning as this was terrible experience and the food wasn't even that great. After reading another yelp review from 5 years ago, it seems like nothing has changed with the hostess/manager and reservation seating.
