Grill Master

Food and service was great. First time here and enjoyed it very much. Wish they had more non spicy options since we were there with kids.

Came and tried the grilled fish and Peking duck. The taste is ok. Probably because the restaurant is too busy, they do not allow you to be seated unless other people arrived. Even though my friend was going to order right after being seated...

We decided to come here on a snowy afternoon a little after lunch hour figuring with the title of the restaurant, it had to be good for grilled food. The menu revolved around their fish specials which I found kind of high. We ordered the stripe bass with traditional Sichuan dressing on it and had a couple of beef, squid and lamb BBQ skewers. The skewers were not overly cooked which had a nice juicy flavor to it. When the fish came out, I was throughly impressed since it had a good amount of spices that was offset by the sourness in the broth which matched my taste buds. The presentation was majestic and you felt like royalty sitting waiting to be served. The service was quick, staff were courteous and the fish had burners on the bottom keeping the broth nice and hot. The presentation alone was worthy of the price point.

Fantastic grilled fishes. You can first choose the type of fish, then flavor, then any ingredients you want. You can also ask for super spicy. We tried this, and it is literally hot. We came in when it was not rush hour, and the service is great.

I am lucky that my wife is Chinese because I wouldn't have found this place otherwise. We came with 2 other friends (as otherwise it's impossible to finish the grilled fish). The fish was easily one of the most delicious fish I ever ate. The restaurant is very clean and the servers are very attentive and kind. During covid-19, they take a lot of precautions and it's greatly appreciated.

Should be the best grilled fish in NY so far. The side dish is the key when eating the grilled fish, as they are so delicious with the soup. Here they have enough side dish choices. Flavor is not bad too. I miss grilled fish in Chengdu LOL!!

great value definitely going groups of three to five we couldn't finish the fish that we ordered not because it was that large but mainly because it was that spicy the waitress even recommended we turn down the level of spice. But we proceeded to go with the full of spice in retrospect probably not the wisest of choices

My boyfriend and I ordered a fish dish in traditional sechuan sauce and tofu adding to the dish. The dish came, it’s a whole fish sitting in a beautiful red sauce with various chili peppers and spices. Surprisingly it’s not too spicy. It’s a little pricey but the fish was fresh. Ideal to come as a group so you’re able to order more side dishes.

Very good service. And food came out hot and fast. Skewers of lamb and beef, Smokey deliciousness. Grill pigs feet had to order more, ordered by each. Whole fish simmered in spicy or non spicy broth, warming on a cold nyc night. Adding veggies for a complete meal. Comfortable seating and very nice attentive staff.

It's very yummy! It taste the same as years before. It just the price increased by a lot and fish can't do double flavor now. Still a very good place! The waitress are nice. Spilled water, very kind to clean up quick

love it! this place is new and I found out about it on wechat channels. We order the 西曹，Hot Spicy and Garlic flavor, plus the recommended veggie combo. We also tried BBQ beef and lamb. The BBQ lamb was great, very flavorful and also good texture. The BBQ beef was a bit hard to chew. The fish came out in all its glory. Hot and bubbling. Turned out we liked garlic flavor better. The Hot Spicy is great as well, but I think it is better suited for cold weather. All in all a great place for BBQ fish, and will come back.

The food here is okay, a bit on the salty side. However it can be quite pricy for the kind of material they offer. There were two of us and we only ordered one fish (which was so small, we couldnt believe we had finished it and kept digging) and 3-4 side dishes to be cooked with it (such as cabbage, rice cake which they only gave us around 8 pieces) an appetizer, and the price came out to be around $100! I felt we barely ate much thats worth the price. Everything cooked inside was cheap items such as mushroom, potatoes, and sea weed. And did i mention the amt of fish in it is negligible. You might as well go get a bowl of malatang. You probably will get equal amount of food for only $8.

My parents in law wanted to take us out for lunch for our birthdays. We chose Grill Master so we could check out a new place in Flushing. The decor is definitely fancy and unique with stately wide chairs, a huge golden dragon in the entrance, a coy fish pond, and more. (also a gold blingy sink in the restroom! lol) The food was very good. We chose the barramundi fish since it has the least bones and two sauces: garlic oil and traditional Sichuan. Our four sides were clear noodles, corn, ear mushroom and lotus root. (It's kinda like a new version of hot pot where the central grills are long and rectangular, and everything is cooked already so you just reheat it) We thoroughly enjoyed the fish. It was a very large fish for 4 people to share and at the end nobody wanted to eat anymore fish hah - even though it was tender and cooked just right. The sauces were also incredibly flavorful and the clear noodles soaked it all up. Appetizers were delicious too. The sauce from the bullfrog was DELICIOUS. Lamb skewers were well seasoned and so juicy we ordered a second one. Okra in garlic sauce was also good. We would come back again for the bullfrog, lamb skewers, and sides. We'd skip the fish unless we come with more than 4 people to help eat :P

It's not complicated, you pick your fish, you pick your sauce, you pick your toppings and then you eat! At Grill Master, they take one of four types of fish and grill them over an open fire and then place it into a pot with simmer sauce, ranging from your simple and savory to the hot mala burn your face off sauces. When simple things are done right, like cooking fish so the skin is crispy and charred on the edge but the meat inside stays moist, you can find nothing better except when you add some Sichuan sauce and enjoy that delicious burn. The food quality was very good. The lamb skewers were meaty, juicy and tender. I would advise not to get the Kobe beef, as the meat was too rough and chewy. I wouldn't ever think Kobe beef would be that chewy in texture. The pan fried mini bun was good and crispy, always a hit with the family. The reason why they don't get a full five stars is because the overall price isn't super high, but it isn't cheap either, their beef isn't what I would imagine to be Kobe beef, and the container that is used to carry the fish out, although it looks fancy and very visually appealing, the container isn't very deep and only provides a shallow layer of sauce. It was sufficient to keep the fish covered but it goes quick when you're eating. I still like it enough to go back because of the good quality of fish.

One star for decoration and one star for the plating. We got striped bass in Sichuan sauce with some veggies, it tasted all like sour pickles and no spiciness. The fish was way too dry, service wasn't attentive but the place was very packed being that it's a weekend. The execution is ok bc the fancy golden platter they serve it on is nice but it was all swimming in a heap of oil (see pic) waitress was pretty rude when she realized she couldn't upsell us any apps or drinks , had to flag down waiters multiple times. for the price it honestly wasn't worth it esp since their neighbors are heavy hitters like Sichuan mountain house. I think a good rule with Yelp is to look at How many reviews are written by people with more than 5 reviews in order for it to be somewhat legit. Just food for thought

To me, if the fish is live or super fresh, the best way cooking to keep the freshness is steaming. I only grill or fry the fish when the material is not as fresh. So, I am not their fan at the beginning, but still went to this place once with some friends. The decoration inside is kind of luxury and their fish containers are fancy. We arrived for late lunch so the restaurant was not so crowded. The waiters were attentive, and the time waiting for our dishes to be served was reasonable except for the desert. We ordered 2 whole fish served with 4 flavors- 2 spicy and 2 non-spicy. I was OK with the 2 non-spicy flavors, but cannot appreciate them too much. And other 2 spicy fish dishes were just beyond my tolerance. Their most impressive entre to me was the rice scrambled with eggs. It was cooked well and super delicious. I should have given this place 3 and half star if I could.

LOLLL SURPRISE, SURPRISE!!! An establishment with the same specialty opens right across from each other in Flushing! Basically a grilled fish spot; you pick your type of fish, sauce, and toppings (or Hot Space if you're familiar). This is my first time at Grill Master, there's two things that sets them apart from their competitor. 1. They do have a truer take on Szechuan flavor preference. 2. The biggest head turner for this place is the noticeable freshness of their fish! Prices were about the same but fish was smaller than their competitor. Service was good and everyone was attentive to switching out messy plates. I've tried their take on grilled oysters and it was really good too! The oysters were HUGE and marinated in minced garlic sauce; would love it even more if they added vermicelli. They also sell beef skewers..."Kobe" skewers which were tasty and tender. But I doubt they are certified distributors.

Great spicy grilled fish. Plenty of veggie side selections as well. Although taste was great, we waited for over an hour and the next day, I got diarrhea ( either because the flesh wasn't cooked properly or because of the spicy).

Went to this restaurant on Christmas Day. Tried grilled fish which was very delicious and fresh. The service was great and we got a free box of chocolate and discount.

Came with for party with two, got seated quickly, but no one came to offer water or menus. We had to keep looking around to get attention from one of the many servers that were not doing much. That really made me wanted to just walk out! We stayed bc we heard the drill whole fish and lamb kebab were so good, worth a try. After having our food, items mentioned above, we were very disappointed with lack of flavor and lack of attention. Left the place feeling bad for my wallet. I would not recommend this place. Sorry, I was just too disappointed in everything.

My most favorite restaurant in flushing. This time i ordered the grill fish with two flavor, one spicy and one tomato based flavor. I would also recommend the bbq stick. If you visit flushing you should really come and try this restaurant!

We reserved a table at 7:20pm but when we came they told us to wait 10mins. We waited about an hour and they still told us to wait because they were fully booked today. The attitude so bad! And why we need to wait when we have a reservation?!! This is ridiculous!!!! 提前订了位子还让我们等了一个小时，还叫我们提前10分钟到，门口服务员和经理态度极差，说什么因为今天预定很多。既然是订座就是一个诚信条约，双方都该遵守不是么？就为了一两桌的蝇头小利失了诚信，这样的商家不该倒闭吗？？

I'm going to be very short and simple with this. Came in here with some expectations after being a regular at Hot Space (our favorite thus far) There is no comparison here, the flavor is mediocre at its best. The fish was drench in oil, literally!!! Each add ons were $2.99 not expensive but considered the amount they gave, it was joke and a half. (Got about 5 pieces of cauliflowers for $2.99) the fish was also very small for almost 60 bucks. Service wasn't attentive, had to ask for Everything and waved many times before they came to our table. Don't think we'll be coming back.

Came here on a Saturday for late dinner (around 8). ~15 min wait. They gave us complimentary appetizer - lightly pickled cabbage and edamame. I really enjoyed the cabbage. It tasted refreshing without being too sour. Since we didn't speak Chinese, the waitstaff struggled a little explaining to us the difference between the types of fish offered in English. We ended up getting two fish for our party of 5: barramundi with chilli spicy and quarry with black bean sauce, as we preferred that to paying $10 just so we can have 2 flavors for one fish. Both were good! We really enjoyed both our fish. Service was solid, and the restaurant and bathrooms were clean. It's a solid place that I'd come back to, if only it were closer. Tip: add flat noodles as a side dish! They soak up the sauces nicely and add a nice bite and texture.

One of the better grill fish establishments around the flushing area. Service on point~for now. Price can be high but with this interior decor i must say its pretty thought-out, not cheesy at all so the price justifys. I always wondered about rather any of them really actually GRILL their fish.but that aside, taste matters most. Here it starts off NOT salty, so thats a big plus. As it boils through time, the flavor hits you just right, not too spicy like some places you cant even breathe. Here you can also have 1 fish 2 ways which i love. Served in a dragon carved boiling steel platter is the highlight here. Best grill fish presentation in flushing so far. Nothing sticked or burned on the bottom, unbelieveable ! Will defintely return quick before this fire burns out.

We come here a lot b/c it's one of our favourite restaurant. The food taste good, comfortable condition, service is thoughtful as well. But the front dest, the man who wears glasses, unprofessional. I already made a appointment, and when we arrive here, we can see it's busy so we wait for a while, then I go to him to check, he said we need to wait about 20 more minutes. Why? He said I told you to take a number in the phone. That's extremely ridiculous, if I want to make appointment, why I need to come over to take a number? If you cannot make appointment, just refuse me. If you got busy, please tell me a better time to come. If you did wrong things, just apologise, don't make any excuses. I need to say, the front desk is really important for business. He needs to learn more about how to take care the customer. Hope you guys get better:)

We went there for three times already ! We love this place , their fish taste so fresh and the flavor is excellent! Service is good too , beautiful place ! Definitely the best place to eat grill fish ! ! !

The Hot or Chilli Spicy fish was excellent and you just have to be patient for a minimum of 20 mins for the fish to be well-cooked. Definitely willing to bring more friends come back and try different fishes and flavors.

I first had this type of grilled fish in 2019 in Beijing, China. It was one of my favorite casual foods to eat and it was very trendy during the time. I was very happy to see a restaurant offering the same type of food in Flushing. I came here with one other person and ordered the quarry fish with traditional sichuan broth plus potato, rice cake, crab stick, and soybean skin. The flavors were great and extremely authentic to what I tasted in China. Additionally, the portion size was just enough for two people. The only downside to this meal was the price, where it ended up being a little more than 60 dollars for the meal (before tip). If not for the price, this would definitely be a regular spot for me. I would definitely recommend eating the fish with a bowl of rice(its super saucy) and adding a lot of toppings/sides with the fish. Lastly, the atmosphere and decor of the restaurant is extremely beautiful. The customer service was also top notch, the waiters kept refilling our water and checking on the flame under the fish.

Amazing grilled fish. It has been 2 years that I haven't eaten such a good-taste and mastery dish. Tomato and pickled pepper are great. This place is gonna be a hot place for me！

Another grilled fish restaurant in the area. Have to give them an A+ for their decorations. The service and staff is on point , very attentive. Came here just before dinner rush hour so we were seated right away. It was packed when we left around 7pm on a weekday . I believe they take reservation if you have a large group. The taste is ok . We got the half Spicy and the other half garlicky, the tofu from the spicy side did not have any flavor even when we left it to cook /heat . Their pricing is on the pricey side. I am ok with the price of the fish by per pound but overall the small appetizers and rice can really add up .

This review is actually 4.5 stars if they'd allow it! There was a TV ad for this restaurant on the Chinese channels that my mom loves to watch so she dragged us all there the first chance she could get. The TV ad promoted that the owner went to Sichuan and tried over 100 different grilled fish dishes before he felt confident enough to start making his own. Who can say no to that? The décor was very upscale given that it's situated in a small mall complex. From the outside you don't expect to see such fine details. The owners definitely put a lot of painstaking effort to ensure that customers will be transported to another destination once inside. We were greeted right away and felt taken care of throughout our meal. We started off by ordered a couple of cold vegetable appetizers. We then ordered the lamb kababs and their signature grilled fish (lamb and fish Chinese characters combined spell out the word "umami"). Aside from the lamb kababs, which were really on point, everything had a slight tangy taste to it which I absolutely love. It's very rare for restaurants to utilize that flavor so it was a very pleasant change! It's hard to mask any unsavory flavors with tangy, so I'm pretty confident everything was very fresh. We were also impressed by the deep steel dragon platter used to serve the fish. A definite photo opportunity! We'd definitely like to frequent as much as possible if it wasn't for the pretty steep price point for the area. Their signature grill fish dishes start at about $40-$60, depending on the fish, and if you want to add any other ingredients other than the fish, it's an extra charge. I'm already highly anticipating going again!!

DONOT ORDER the kumamoto oyster! They WON'T give you the real one. SO SAD for that. Even I questioned to them, they still told me it is the kumamoto. btw, my husband is a japanese chef, He knows what kumamoto looks like and tasts like.

Food is mediocre,nothing special.pretty decent grill fish.service was so bad!waited 10minutes to get the bill,another 10minutes to pay.they were not even busy at that time.whom ever in charged with the business should do a better job with their staff.not handing out with regulars in front of other customer.they dont really care about new customers.only care about their regulars.felt mistreated.we still tipped 18% didn't want to be mean.was thinking about tip them 10%.wont come back anymore.

Maybe My expectations are too high or this place simply does not deliver. I probably ate a tea cup of oils , the add ons are retarded , overpriced for nothing. 1st and last. Oh btw, the waiter/waitress are inattentive. Sad $$$

lots people , good food, fresh fish like margaritas but side dishes for choose just give one or two piece of food after we complained they gave us fruit dessert for apologized

Decent decoration. Great fish. But all others dishes are crap. Make sure you only orders fish.

Amazing service and the most amazing flavors. They definitely perfected the art of serving fresh fish in the most efficiently curated platters. Best thing is that you get to add your favorite veggies. It is also the biggest serving vessel I've ever seen for 1 order. Will definitely be back with more friends and family. Must try if you love spicy food and fish.

Toooooooo expensive for the price!!!!!!! And toooooooooo CHEAP from the owner !!!!! We ordered 2 fishes, barely CAN NOT find the fish meat in the pot!!!!! Tooooooo spicy that there is NO other taste!!!! Fish is toooooo dry and NOT FRESH AT ALL!!!! $3.99 for a Lamb skewer with a really small portion and tasteless, are you out of your mind???? Service is the worst in FLUSHING! Everything we want, we have to ordered at least twice from the skinny waitress with glasses. Toooo slow, too bad. Waste my hard earned money!!!! Avoid this place!

This is definitely the place that I love to visit in flushing queens. I was truly amazed by the decoration of the environment. The taste of the 酸菜鱼 was very authentic, from the taste of the fish meat you can tell the fish is very fresh. Unlike the other 酸菜鱼 I've experienced in flushing it's too sour. This places is highly recommended.

Food was ok, but hidden under the fish was a nice little Christmas gift. Where did this spoon come from?

people here are really nice. came here for lunch and it's pretty quiet. food is good. you can adjust the spicy level which is nice. fish is fresh as well. the only thing is that they are not very attentive like keep adding water etc.

Cheap and delicious.. We could choose this place again next time. Very healthy food haha

This is probably one of my favorite restaurant in flushing. If you love fish and spicy you have to try this one, its better than all the restaurants i had in flushing. We ordered one fish and we can choose two flavors, bring two different options for multiples I highly recommend to friends. There service is very nice too, the waiter keep on asking us if we needed anything and if we liked the food. Overall, very delicious and I had a great time. :)

I came here a couple of times this time i came with my girlfriend. We order her favorite grilled fish but this time we tried the fish with two flavors. So first you pick what type of fish you want, then you pick two flavors and last you can add topping in the fish. Its very delicious highly recommended!

I been there three times。The service is excellent ，and the food is great！I love chongqing spicy fish very much。

This is probably the worst grill fish I've ever had in my life. It tasted HORRIBLE. I should've read the yelp review before actually went here. Please don't waste your money & time here, definitely will give you a stomachache. It's officially on my blacklist.

New and Hot place for grilled fish in flushing. I made a reservation for 4 at 6:30pm. No need to wait. The man who served us is very helpful for recommendation. We ordered one fish for 2 flavors-one spicy one non spicy and some BBQ. My parents love their decorations. Btw they have a party room for more than 10 people.

This is one of my favourite restaurants in Queens！The service and waiters there are super nice and i love the environment！Highly recommend！

Great restaurant with super considerate customer service!! We ordered the fresh pepper grilled fish because it was marked with a two-star spiciness. However it came out REAL spicy that my mouth was burning! The super nice/friendly waiter (Eric) noticed our struggling facial expressions and asked how we liked the fish. We told him that it was too spicy for us, perhaps as a result of the large amount of fresh pepper in the grill pan. Eric asked permission from the manager. They offered to grill another fish in s non-spicy sauce. I liked the fact that they care about the wellbeing of their customers! Would come back as a loyal customer.

This restaurant is just AUTHENTIC. No compromising to American or Cantonese (majority Chinese American) means the food is good

The environment there is good! And I love what I have tonight. Stuffs are really nice! Next time I will ask my friends to have a try! Highly Recommend！

What a fast and amazing meal! I said fast because from the moment we placed our orders and we had about maybe 2 mins to chat before all of the food came out. I highly recommend the fired fish. Overall, we all had a great meal. Even the one person who couldn't taste any spice enjoyed all the dishes :)

Strong recommendation! The fish is so fresh! And you can choose any favors you want! if I have friend meeting, I will go again

Will never come here again. The scheduling is terrible. When the waitress tell you the wait time is 20-30 minutes, that means it's at least an hour and a half.

I had fry rice here, to go home and I found worn...in my rice.disgusting !!! I like this place but they should do inspection again. I hate ppl cheating on food .really bad .

First time come here! The environment and decoration are nice! But the food is tasteless! They leave add on veggies on the side(they water boiled before), that made all the veggies no taste at all. 吃烤鱼的话，this restaurant is not my option anymore
