Also tastes so much better than other grocery store sushi. I love the variety of goods they have at the market as well. As for the restaurant, I've only ever tired their fried items and they were good, but not my favorite. Service: 5/5 Quick and friendly. Ambiance: 4/5 I love the combination of the market and the restaurant. It's the best of both worlds. The tables aren't the cleanest, but it doesn't bother me because I wash my hands

I like building my own hand rolls and bowls at home, so having a place with consistently fresh fish is non-negotiable and this place does not miss. Every single time I pull up, the quality is on point. The fish is fresh, clean, and exactly what you want when you're trusting a place with your raw cravings. No weird smells, no sketchy cuts, just solid, reliable quality. The staff is always super friendly too. Never feels rushed, always happy to answer questions, and they actually seem like they care about what they're serving. Honestly, there's not much else to say, if you need fish in Fresno, this is the spot. Period. Only heads up. Getting there right now is a bit of a mission with all the construction, so plan ahead unless you enjoy trying to figure out how to get around that train track

I opted for rice instead of fries to balance all the fried food. The rice was a great choice but I did not expect the serving to be so massive. It was three of each item along with the coleslaw. The container wouldn't even close and it was given in a massive paper bag just to accommodate the weight. Huge serving and very satisfying. My favorite was surprisingly the fish, then shrimp, then oysters. I did not even come close to finishing all the fried deliciousness. I'll definitely be back to try something else and probably bring a friend to split the food with.

And you get HUUUUGE portions of everything. Truly blown away by the portions. If you want A LOT of food, you'll get it here. Great value! ORDER: Wanted chowder & crab but they had neither. Calamari: Decent! I like the onions. Triple Play (6 pieces of fish, fries & coleslaw): HUUUGE pieces of fish that were nicely moist. Tempura Veggies: Not tempura batter. Same batter as fish. Wouldn't order again. Head-On Shrimp: Fried too long so they were hard. Wish they'd been not so hard. Overall, I'm sure many will like this place, but my problem is the batter is too thick & not at all seasoned. This is somewhere between American & Chinese, but doesn't truly lean into either. Lemon or some acidic slaw are essential to cut thru the fried. Ketchup & hot sauce would help. Tartar sauce wasn't great. Having some non-battered/fried options would be really great. Still, I might try them again. Hope they reach their target audience.

If you love a good ol fashion steakhouse Richard's is the place to go…read more My family has been going for over 50 years. Don't let its location scare you! And use the back door. I don't know if I've ever used the front door. Sinatra style music, intimate booths and tables, dark wood, beautiful bar, waitresses and staff who are friendly and efficient. You can actually have an intimate conversation. We usually get the dinner for 2 for $89.99. Choice of salmon, New York steak or prime rib. Comes with a glass of house wine, shrimp cocktail (spicy sauce), soup or salad, choice of green beans (house specialty) or brown beans, potato (mashed, fries, or baked) or pilaf and your entree. The horseradish is served with zip not a watered down version you get sometimes ask for au jus it's so good. The bus boys refill your water glasses and remove plates quickly. The wonderful waitresses check in "All good? Do you want another glass of...?" The owner will come by and ask you how's your dinner and chit chat. Old fashion proprietor hospitality that we don't see enough any more. The original owner, Richard S did this as well and I love that his grandson carries on the tradition. Sit at the bar, either before or afterwards, hopefully Leeann will be bartending and have a well made drink, watch TV (not blaring) and just relax. Seriously, love this place and it's been where our family has celebrated many family special days or just a good meal after a long week for over 50 years.

2.5ish review incoming. I have mixed feelings about this…read moreplace. With so many other dynamite restraunts in town, I am not sure Richard's has much to brag about (comparatively) these days. I understand and respect their history, but that is not an excuse for them to continue to live in the past. It is bad enough their location has turned undesirable over the years, so they need to continue to improve aspects of the business to keep people coming in. There was a security guard at the entrance (FYI the entrance is in the back, so upon entering you are immediately greeted by the restrooms and the doors that show off the kitchen work space. Long story short, it makes for an awkward and uncomfortable start to your experience for a first timer). Anyways, the security guard was in the same place when we arrived (looking at his phone) and in the same place when we left (still looking at his phone). If someone messed with my car, which was out of sight slightly around the corner of the building close to Belmont, would he have noticed or cared? This question is sure to be up there with the ol timeless chicken or the egg quandry and the if a tree fell in a forest paradox) Positives: Their meats were good (we tried the prime rib, of course, and a bacon wrapped filet). No complaints there. I should mention I took my love and my momma for her bday. My mom enjoyed herself well enough. The service was good. The waitress humored my (sometimes annoying) mom (lmao) and the hostess was also nice, checking on us during the meal even. She brought my mom some ice cream at the end and led us in singing happy birthday, which was sweet. The main fault: the sides. They were so mundane it almost made the rest of the meal seem overpriced and lackluster. Sides should be something local or at least prepared. Instead it was some slop from a can or a warmer filled with hot liquid broth. It was like cafeteria food or the heated up veggies one might get during a hospital stay. Completely unacceptable quality if you want to maintain the allure of a fancy restraunt serving 40+ dollar cuts of meat. Rice was mediocre, mashed potatoes were decent but again probably a cost cutting side. So all in all, the food wasn't something to brag about. The interior has some nice paintings of bare chested ladies. As a champion for women, it seemed a little extreme that in my sight i could see 6 titties, but as a man, excluding my champion for women title, I thought it was great. However, being with my mom and my woman made this dichotomy even more perplexing. The strangest part of all of this was when I went in the men's restroom there wasn't another topless woman painting. Instead it was some old dude. Wth? That's when I relaized it was like the rest of the experience here - unique, a bit outdated, and all over the place. Still enjoyable, but also pretty sad and confusing.

I ordered an enchilada and asked to add chicken, but the chicken tasted burnt and wasn't very good. There's also no mole on the menu, which was disappointing. Overall, the non-seafood plates just didn't impress. The portions are huge, though. My husband had to take his burrito home, and I had to take my enchilada home as well -- definitely generous servings. For the kids: the burger was good, but the chicken nuggets were awful. They were extremely hard and overcooked, mostly breading with barely any chicken inside. Service was another downside. It wasn't very attentive, and on top of that, drinks are canned Diet Coke only -- no refills, which feels outdated for a sit-down restaurant. What really rubbed us the wrong way was the bill. The suggested tip was calculated after taxes, not on the subtotal. That's not standard practice, and it felt like an attempt to squeeze out a higher tip -- especially when the service didn't warrant 20% to begin with. Tips should be based on the pre-tax subtotal, not the total with tax included. Overall, this place is probably best if you're ordering shrimp cocktail, ceviche, or other seafood dishes. The non-seafood options and service weren't great, and I wouldn't return unless it was strictly for a shrimp cocktail.
