This place has one of the best Fish Fillet Fish soups with Pickled Mustard Greens in the Bay Area. It's a casual spot and a great place to dine alone or share dishes with others. The interior is upbeat with a vibrant orange color.
If you order a small portion, you get to choose two side dishes, while a large portion comes with four side dishes. Though they are called 'side dishes', they are actually extra toppings mixed into the soup rather than served on separate plates.
* Green Sichuan Pepper Sauerkraut Fish Soup - Large with Basa fish, Yuba, Enoki mushrooms, sliced celtuce, and sweet potato glass noodles
The flavor is balanced--sour, spicy, and savory, which bursts in your mouth. The Green Sichuan pepper adds some numbness to your tongue (if you know what I mean) and stimulates your senses in multiple ways. We picked basa fillet because we didn't want fish with bones, making it easier to eat.
I honestly think all the toppings go well with this soup, so just pick your favorites. I highly recommend the Yuba and glass noodles. Yuba absorbs all the flavor from the soup, making it flavorful and juicy. Glass noodles add an extra texture to the soup, perfect if you like something chewy.
What's even better is that the rice is free, and you can get unlimited refills (of course, order what you can finish). They claim you can finish three bowls of rice with the fish soup.
*Deep-fried milk (not the actual name, but I couldn't find it on the menu)
While ordering on my phone, I saw they also have deep-fried milk available. However, it's not on their menu anywhere, so I'm not sure if this is a limited-time item.
It's so yummy! It's a little crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. It is more like milk custard inside, so it doesn't have the oozy effect when you bite into it.
Overall, I am happy with this meal, 10/10!
