Sauerkraut Fish

Very impressed with their sauerkraut fish. We’ve come here twice now, and I think this place has a really good balance of flavour and a decent amount of fish and toppings. The fish has very good texture as well. We have only tried the original spicy flavour (golden soup, I believe?) and it is tangy, spicy, and just really hits the spot for me. We got the combos each time, and the value is okay. While the main dish is really wonderful, the portions of the side dishes were quite small. I wish they were just a little bigger. Each time I felt like I left just barely full, so maybe order another dish if you are feeling extra hungry. This place is definitely pricier than some other sauerkraut fish places we’ve been to in NYC, but it is also our favourite so far.

I would recommend signature fish stew and the beef braised noodles. Each dish was very flavorful up and the side dishes with the fungus and the cucumbers. The chicken was incredible too, but please be cautious of the spice! I would definitely come back again!

We were really impressed with the food. We ordered three dishes: the original spicy sauerkraut fish, the tomato sauerkraut fish, and the Chongqing dry pepper chicken. The original spicy version was definitely the star. The broth was bold, tangy, and spicy, with that deep, addictive flavor that comes from the pickled mustard greens. The fish itself was perfectly cooked and tender and silky, soaking up all the flavors of the soup. The tomato sauerkraut fish was lighter and not spicy. The tomato base gave it a nice sweetness that balanced beautifully with the sour pickled vegetables. It’s a great choice for anyone who prefers a milder but still flavorful dish. We also really enjoyed the Chongqing dry pepper chicken. It was crispy, spicy, and packed with the numbing peppercorns. It paired really well with the sauerkraut fish dishes and added a nice variety to the meal.

Spicy and delicious! We ordered the Sichuan green pepper fish bowl, which the waiter warned us was their most spicy dish. It did not disappoint! The 2-3 person serving was just about enough for two people. Recommend the cold tofu add-on as it really soaks up the flavours of the broth.

Had a really comforting and authentic dinner here! My parents and I especially loved the soup (golden soup) and the wood ear side dish. The snakefish portion was generous and really tender. Service was very attentive and friendly as well 🥹

The food was great! Very authentic and delicious sauerkraut fish, mapo tofu, beef & ox tripe in chili sauce, and ice jelly.

Stumbled across this restaurant while in the area looking for new spots to try. The service and food was great! We ordered the jiajiang noodles and original Golden fish dish. Two add ins and two appetizers was more than enough to feed 3 people, and we were SO full. Will come again to try something else in the menu. I hope they open more stores in the future.

Stopped by this restaurant by accident and I’m glad we did. The food was surprising good, the potion is big even it states it’s for 2 person, it actually can feed 6 ppl! The boss(?) was very friendly as well as the service. There are many Chinese restaurants around this area, but this one will become one of my favorite! I think it’s better than the tai er sauerkraut fish in flushing !!!!

Side note: They are also here under https://www.yelp.com/biz/mr-fish-new-york-2 Possibly Mr. Fish should be added to their name Tl;dr version: If you are here solely and want a smaller meal, it's a better deal at Nai. If you want a bigger portion with better soup or if you are here with multiple people and want small plates, go here instead. I was at this restaurant also listed as Mr. Fish a little while back for dinner. As they had just opened 2 weeks prior, it was 12% off if you paid cash or posted an image. This is one of the many recent spots serving Suan Cai Yu/酸菜鱼/sour vegetable fish such as Nai Brothers and Fish With You in Flushing. By comparison to Mr. Fish, the prices are a good amount higher but the portions are a lot larger with the one person combo being $25.99 (which also comes with rice) and a choice of three toppings with there being another 10 or so topping choices if you order online. I hope they add a lunch deal version of their signature as currently it's more standard Szechuan options. Also, they only use the pricier snakehead fish instead of giving a choice between snakehead and sole. The people inside were friendly and it was well air conditioned. I ordered the combo for one which comes with your choice of soup and went with the for $12.95 with sole which is alternatively $15.95 for snakehead fish. The combos come with a choice of three small plates if two or more order which is a plus but not if you are here solely. I ordered it as spicy with tofu skin, enoki mushrooms, and black fungus with the other option being listed as vermicelli (with there also being more options online as noted such as quail eggs.) The soup was stronger flavored than Nai though not as spicy as some other Szechuan places though this however might be since I didn't get their signature spicy version. My favorite of the add-ons was the tofu sheets as it absorbed the flavor well as expected but the enoki and black fungus/wood ear had good texture. The fish was good and plentiful with a nice texture and there was plenty of it. The mustard greens were cooked nicely as were the other leafier greens. Overall, I preferred it over Nai and don't mind the stipend as I got a lot of leftovers.

pretty solid spot for Chinese-style sauerkraut fish! it's especially good in the winter, but enjoyable in the summer as the restaurant also runs air conditioning. I was surprised by how fast and friendly the service is -- you can chat in Chinese or in English with the servers. I got the original spicy, which has a good amount of heat. They're also running a 12% promo, where you get a discount for leaving a Google Review or paying in cash. The portion size is quite large for one person (though it is a little pricey) so I ended up taking most of my food to-go. I also felt like they gave only a few of the complimentary add-ons like the enoki mushroom. I do recommend going in a group or with friends and getting other dishes, as it can be a lot of the same flavor if you just do the fish... It's clean inside and there's plenty of seating including tables for larger groups (5+).

Amazzzzzing food. Get the signature fish dish! We also got the chongqing chicken - 10/10!!! No regerts

Enjoyable meal at this location. We tried the Hell's Kitchen location and thought this might b good too. Very satisfying!

The fish sauerkraut dish is amazing!! Super fresh and is the perfect bowl of goodness either on a sunny day or to cozy up in the rain. My go to spot!

YUM!!!!! I don't like Sakuraut so I opted for the spicy broth and it was delicious. The fish texture is so tender and I wanted to have more after I was done. Very hearty meal and would def come back

Had the sauerkraut fish soup because why not. It was saltier and spicier than it was sour. But still delicious. Not to say HUGE fit a group of 4. Waiter was great and added more soup base for us. Side dishes were a nice touch. We also got a beef and brocolli dish which part of our group really enjoyed. The dragon dumplings (not sure what were made of) was meh. Will come back again to dry the frog soup.

very clean and sleek interior. I went with my friend around 3pm, so it was pretty empty since we avoided the lunch rush. We got the 2-3 people portion (48$) of the tomato sour soup fish with lotus root and enoki mushrooms. It also comes with sides so we got the garlic cucumber and the chengdu bean jelly noodle. Our favorite part of the dish was the lotus root. It was cooked so perfectly. The flavor of the tomato broth was a little sweet and sour (strong tomato taste). The combo also came with two bowl of rice. The portion size was super filling and couldn't finish so we ended up taking the rest home. Overall amazing food and experience. Would come back again.

Unique, delicious, and super authentic. Great service. Decor suffers from that top ceiling lighting you find in a lot of places. Food came out fast and was really tasty. Great soup to help get through a bad cold!

This place serves one of the best sauerkraut fish I've ever had! The broth is flavorful and perfectly balanced between sour and spicy, and the fish is fresh and tender. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion size. Highly recommend if you're craving authentic Chinese comfort food. Will definitely be coming back!

Yummy Szechuan food! Signature sauerkraut fish (spicy) was just right for me - could drink the broth. I also liked the cucumber salad - very garlicky!

As a Chinese I highly recommend this place!! The flip is so savory and fish is so fresh!!

Love this place. Soup is delicious. I got their original and golden soup on two different occasions, a little bit of a kick for both. Service is attentive and nice. Will definitely be coming back.

Delicious food! Nice atmosphere, clean and bright and great service and lots of options, especially for beef and fish lovers

Delicious! We ordered two things (fish in broth and chongqing chicken) and both were great. We will definitely come back!

very good taste service is fast The environment is very clean and quiet Really nice experience

The food was fresh and delicious, the service was top notch. Very friendly staff! The ambiance is nice and relaxing. Very clean. Definitely recommend!

Golden Soup... One spoonful and I was hooked. Just like its name, it's pure gold in a bowl! The broth is rich and smooth, with a perfect balance of flavors. I can't believe I only just discovered this place--but I'm already looking forward to coming back. The cozy yet stylish atmosphere and the warm, friendly service made the whole experience even better. This spot is a hidden gem--highly recommend! 金汤）真的让我一口就爱上了。就像它的名字一样，简直是碗里的黄金！汤头浓郁顺口，食材搭配恰到好处。现在才发现这家店真的有点可惜，以后一定会常来！环境温馨又有格调，服务也特别贴心，让整顿饭吃得很舒服。这绝对是一家值得推荐的宝藏餐厅！

Delicious dinner. Very authentic food and great owners. Fish was fresh and everything was well priced!

Good was very good and great portion - got the combo for 2-3 people with the signature fish and everyone was full with leftovers

Nice new addition to the EV. Food was great and something we haven't really come across before. Would recommend!

Delicious! Fish was super fresh, the combo portion is generous and the service was great!

Great food! Great service, quick and good AC so you're not sweating on a hot day. Would come back, especially for lunch.

Trying the golden soup version. Food is still very good. Will return again to try other dishes

Loved the ambience, super friendly staff and very clean environment. They said they recently opened, loving their stuff so far.

The food was great! We got the sauerkraut fish in golden soup, it was perfect spicy for me! Service was top notch, they were so friendly and helpful also lovely space

The sauerkraut fish was both fresh and tasty! If you like Sichuan food, their signature dish really hits the spot. Don't sleep on the crispy pork either which is fried with Sichuan peppercorn to a golden crisp, a delightful appetizer.

Very delicious sauerkraut fish, if you love fresh water fish. Good service and clean dinning environment.

Very happy about the food here!! Price is fair too!! Two of us got so full about $40!! Def worth coming back!!

Very interesting menu and very good food with nice sweet staff. I would certainly recommend it.

Great value for price! Combo for two was very filling. Definitely a great casual place.

Yummy soup and sides! Large menu of options- ranging from main dishes (soups/flavors) with sides and other Chinese dishes

very nice cuisine, newly open but popular, worth a try! The service is satisfying. newly decorated,

Great food and service! The portion sizes are reasonable and it is super flavorful! I would definitely come back again!

Not for me but is very popular among Chinese/Asians in the neighborhood. There was not really sauerkraut in the soup but I'm told it's another word to indicate kimchi. I don't really know. But it is popular so people obviously like it - except I didn't. Try it and decide for yourself.

Really enjoyed the food, the portions were very generous. We ordered for 2-3 people and were full when we finished.

Sauerkraut fish with lotus root, rice and cabbage hit the spot on a rainy day. Service was attentive with the water re-fill. Caters to any spice level. Lunch special offers a diverse menu. Wi-Fi helped since the subway seems to have no Wi-Fi.

Got the combo for 3-4 people (the golden sour fish soup) and crispy pork appetizer. It was amazing!

The fish here is really good. The fish is fresh and the broth is flavorful. Nice place!

Had the Sauerkraut fish soup with rice, was amazing. Great atmosphere, would recommend and come again.

Loved the fish! Very satisfied with the food found it very savory. Highly recommended this Johnson

Delicious fish! Very authentic food. Huge portions. Fair price. Don't be scared of the sauerkraut it's great!

New spot just opened last few weeks it looks like. The food is very unique and fresh. We ordered the flagship fish dish for 2 and the portion size was quite large for us. We got the spicy pickled version and it came with several small dishes. You could tell it was good quality fish and freshly prepared. Service was also pretty good, and the place is not too large but quite cosy.

Delicious!! If you're craving authentic spicy Sichuan peppercorn fish, drop whatever you're doing and come here. Incredible food and family owned with great service. The owners are so nice. Up there with Sichuan Mountain House fighting for best fish in the city.

This was my first time doing takeout from this new business. I was pleasantly impressed by the kung pao chicken as I understand their main focus is on seafood. The brown sauce had a nice balance between savory, garlic, and spicy notes. It seemed to be better quality chicken than other restaurants I've tried as well. I look forward to coming back for more. Well done!

The food was excellent, very authentic. We went there for lunch since the place is new we didn't have to wait too long.

Great fish and fast service! Will definitely be coming back to try more of their menu

i got the dumplings and spicy boiled beef. very good, I will become a regular from now on.

Tasty! Kind service. Really clean too with solid music! Green beans, combo deal, cucumber salad, mushrooms delish!
