Tried Flying Fish Lemon in Everett for the first time and wow... so good! The honey walnut shrimp were crispy, sweet, and addicting, and the kung pao prawns had the perfect mix of spice and flavor. Everything tasted super fresh and came out fast. Friendly staff, good vibes, and big portions -- I'll definitely be back! read more

Our favorite Szechuan restaurant in Bellevue, WA had closed down, and we were in a state of lamentation. One day I got a Yelp notification about this place, and my heart suddenly fluttered with hope and anticipation. On a Monday night after Christmas we decided to try it out, and we were delighted with what we found. The decor is fresh and clean. The waitstaff was friendly in spite of their hurry because of the packed house (on a Monday?!). We ordered four dishes that had been our favorites at the other place: eggplant in a spicy brown sauce, dry fried Szechuan fish, Dan-Dan noodles which we ordered without the ground pork (my wife's preference) and Szechuan dry pot cauliflower, which came in a hot pot over a Sterno stove. Everything was delicious and we had enough to take home as leftovers for the next day. We especially enjoyed the mouth-numbing Szechuan goodness of the cauliflower dish. When the elder server brought our food she said, with a big smile, "You must know Chinese food - these are my favorites!" We made a vow to her that we would be back at least once a month, much to her delight. We've already told some of our friends about it, and they plan on accompanying us on our next visit. I can't wait to try so many of the other dishes. The menu is adventurous! read more

Delicious authentic Szechuan food on Colby. My family was so excited when Frying Lemon Fish opened, and we have been many times over the past few months. The food is very authentic and fresh, the portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. The interior is cozy and sleek with cute Chinese decor. The staff is friendly and warm, there are menus available on paper and iPad for ease of ordering. We have tried: - tea smoked duck (crispy, juicy, and huge portion for the price--it's half a duck!) -fish fillets in chili oil (Szechuan classic, you can choose which veggies to add into the spicy broth--we like cabbage and tofu) -dry wok (many varieties of dry wok--intestine, frog leg, cauliflower--all are delicious and you can adjust the spice level) -chow mein (we had pork) -fried rice (have tried the pickled veggie and house special fried rice--huge portions) -crispy pork spareribs (juicy and tender) -spicy and sour dumplings (light and refreshing) Overall, we are so happy Frying Lemon Fish (which has a sister restaurant in Bellevue) has come to Everett! This is a new staple in our household and we come all the time for fresh delicious Szechuan-style Chinese food. read more

New Spicy Chinese restaurant in Everett. Food is great. This place is similar to Bellevue Frying Fish Restaurant. Both serve excellent Sichuan style dishes. Get your taste buds in for an exercise. Service is polite and friendly. Ambience was clean and new. Bathrooms were spotless and well maintained. I will come back and eat here. Like the food, service and Everett location read more

Came in right after it opened on a Saturday at 11am, and by noon it was pretty full. Delicious food, good, quick service, and really clean environment. They are also kid friendly and brought over children appropriate plates and silverware without being asked for them. read more

Frying Lemon Fish is a great addition to the Everett restaurant scene. The potstickers are handmade here, not the same old frozen ones a lot of local Chinese restaurants use. The General Tso's Chicken is delicious and made with care. The egg drop soup is really good here too! This is my new go-to Chinese restaurant. Keep up the good work! read more

Popped in because we were starving! Just flew in from Dallas on our way to Vancouver! This place was awesome! Food was fresh and HOT. Service was perfect. The potstickers were full of meat. The hot and sour soup was amazing! General Tso chicken was so hot and just the right amount of crisp and the chicken fried rice was so good! If you're trying to decide what to eat tonight...GO HERE!! read more

Frying Lemon Fish - The outside - Seafood Near Me - Everett, Washington

We ordered food to be delivered from Frying Lemon Fish. The orange chicken as advertised has chili peppers in it, and as someone who orders this dish specifically to avoid peppers/hot dishes, this was disappointing. My spouse ordered the general tsos chicken, said it was soggy (even after reheating). The vegetable egg rolls were really greasy inside. The chicken fried rice was decent. Sadly, I doubt we'll eat here again. read more

The food and service were amazing! The bathrooms were clean and the dining room was clean. They had special dishes and cups for the kids too. We got the pickled fish soup, cumin lamb, chow mein, and string beans. Everything was tasty and made with care. We can't wait to return to try more of the menu. read more

We were craving Chinese and found that this place had great reviews so we decided to get some to go. Everything was ready on time and was packaged well. We got home and platted it up. Oh my God, it was so good! It's the classic Chinese food but with authentic flavors. I'm honestly so use to only finding the "mall" version of Chinese food that I've come to expect just that. Where its almost so bad its good? Idk ...But this was phenomenal!! Fresh taste with delicious sauces and pops of real ginger and garlic. Beef was very tender. Looking forward to trying more delicious dishes. read more

Stopped by at 3 pm on a Saturday and surprisingly even at that time there was a steady stream of people the entire time. I was slightly scared they'd cater more towards a less authentic menu but I was pleasantly surprised. We were welcomed in and told that it was nice to see someone Chinese come in LOL. And they were helpful the entire time we were deciding what to order off the huge menu. We ended up getting the fish dry pot, the pork tripe with preserved veggies, and the crispy pork ribs. All solid, and we had plenty left over too. If you've never had dry pot, I highly recommend it! Delicious, a great variety in 1 dish, and authentic sichuan food for sure! read more

Sometime last year, I had my eyes set on this place when I first saw the sign from across the street - I was at Cafe Makario. I thought, whoa, a place with Chinese characters here in the heart of downtown Everett? Not unheard of to have "Chinese food" in Everett but definitely unheard of to have an authentic dine-in experience that specializes in legit Sichuan cuisine north of Edmonds - I'd even really say Bellevue or Chinatown. So, as I was making my list of new places to try, I remembered this one & googled it to see if it was open yet. Lo and behold, the grand opening was today! I immediately told my mom & sent her the menu that I'd see other people post from their soft opening. I mentioned that there were a ton of dishes from their menu that I've not seen any other place tackle around these parts. Ya know, I'd rather not venture so much up and down the I5 corridor for good ass Asian food so I was excited to see this place & hoped it lived up to its name. Well, after my experience today, I am happy to report that it does. Taste buds were flying all over the place. We went to town on the menu and ordered the following; Braised Pork, Deep Fried Fish, Chicken Wings, House Special Fried Rice, Tomato Egg Soup, Spicy Wontons, Dan Dan Noodles, and Orange Beef. The main takeaway is that after devouring all this food, I didn't feel sluggish or thirsty. The quality of the food tasted clean and fresh. The watermelon juice is a nice complement to the food, it was refreshing and it'll be a hot item during the summer months! The interior design is clean and spacious. Seating is baby-friendly, ADA-friendly, and the staff are accommodating. Everyone was nice and polite. The decor was modern and minimal. The atmosphere was a good volume. I prefer it to be loud where everyone's conversations intertwine but you can still hear the person next to you. Like if my baby cried, I wouldn't feel embarrassed or afraid because her voice would not fill the entire room. I said all this to say, I'll be back. read more

It's a nice place and we decided to give it a try. The place is completely new including washrooms. The service was very good and smiling faces around. The ambience is very good too. Coming to food - we ordered the following - Kung pao beef, chow mein with beef, chongxing (definitely got the name wrong ) spicy chicken (this is for the pop corn chicken fans) and ended with fried ice cream (it melted during the first bite). The food was really good and we would definitely visit this place again. read more

This is a great place and you should eat here. The spicy and sour dumplings were so delicious my patty ate them before I could take a picture. They were also homemade as we watched someone making them. Every dish was excellent especially the Dan Dan noodles which you can never find on the menu. Lastly, the waitstaff were so kind and hospitable that it was pleasure to be there. read more

The service we got was not very good! The glass of wine was so tiny and not worth the $7.95/glass. I got food poisoning from no MSG in my entree . The acoustic made it difficult to hear people talking at the table. The ambience is less to Be desired. I would not recommend this Resturant. read more

This is an awesome place. Service, food, location. I am a permanent customer at frying fish Bellevue. This is there another branch in Everett. I loved there food. hot n sour soup. Incredible. Chow mein, chopped chili fish, sole in chili oil, general Tao's chicken. Everything have great flavor. Really a great experience. read more

Frying Lemon Fish - Frying lemon fish - Seafood Near Me - Everett, Washington

If you're ever in Everett, Washington, and you're not frying up some lemon fish, you're doing life wrong. I stumbled into this hidden gem and, honestly, it's like the universe whispered, "This is the way." The fish? Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside--like the ocean itself decided to put on a fancy suit for you. The lemon? Zesty, fresh, and bright, like it was plucked directly from a sunbeam. I'm pretty sure they've figured out how to make citrus taste like joy. The fryer? A mystical device that turns mere fish into a crispy masterpiece. The staff? They're like friendly magicians who somehow manage to make the whole experience feel like a warm hug from a grandma who just so happens to be a five-star chef. I'm not saying the lemon fish changed my life, but my taste buds might start sending thank-you notes. Five stars? Please. I'd give it six if I could. Go there, eat that fish, and maybe--just maybe--you'll feel a little bit closer to fishy nirvana. read more

Quick and helpful service. Extensive menu. We got the orange chicken, smoked duck, chicken chow mein, chopped hot pepper fish, sour dumplings, pot stickers (both made in house). Everything was incredible. The four of us could not get over how fresh and delicious the food was. We can't wait to go back and try another round of dishes. It's a great place to go with a group and order family style especially since the portions are large. The leftovers the new day heated up well too. Highly highly recommend. read more

This place is a Gem. Best authentic Chinese food in Everett. on top of that the people who work there are very kind. The food was served fast even though they were busy.

Everything was as good as I could've expected before the location in Everett. I enjoy the sour dumplings and the jalapeño beef.

Super good! I've never been to a Sichuan foward restaurant before but do enjoy Sichuan food. It hit the spot. Already looking foward to trying more. There's a reason this place is popping. I had the pork ribs and they were perfectly cooked and well seasoned. Spicy pepper beef was nice and oily, spicy, and tingly. Kung Pao Chicken even had a good smoky flavor to it. Hot and Sour Soup, Dumplings, and Honey Walnut Shrimp were on point! read more

My Hubs and I ordered takeout. We got the orange chicken, cumin beef and rice. While I was waiting for our order they let me sit at one of the tables, gave me jasmine hot tea and egg drop soup on the house... such a wonderful and unexpected treat. The jasmine tea was a delight and such friendly service. The restaurant is new but was full of happy customers with a great lively feel to the establishment. Came home and my Hubs and scarfed our delicious dinner down and have plenty of leftovers too! read more

Came back some some carry out. The fish in white sauce is still one of the best things there. Wanted to try a spicier dish but something without sauce picked one of the dishes with chili. It was good. The heat sneaks up on you so it may seem not that spicy until after several bites. It's a numbing spicyness. Worth trying if your in the area. read more

My co-work recommended this place to me. I just happened to pass by, so I decided to stop and check it out. Glad I did! Legit Chinese food! Love this place!

I only wish it was closer to home. read more

The food was very delicious. It's the best chinese I have had in a while. The service was quick, they were able to get the food as soon as we placed the order. It looked like they were short staffed but still tried to service us as soon as we got their attention. The ambience is nice and neat. They were super kind in offering plastic cutlery and cater to our toddlers. I would definitely order fillet with Chilli sauce, the wings were very tasty and fried rice as well. read more

I'm so happy to have a new Chinese restaurant in Everett! This one has many more authentic dishes that differ from what's already here. I cannot tell you how much I've been craving a good Chinese fish dish and Frying Lemon Fish has so many to choose from. Full disclosure: we haven't been to the actual restaurant yet. I ordered through DoorDash and had it delivered. However, the food was so hot and fresh when it arrived, I can only imagine how delicious it'll be at the restaurant. The Deep Fried Szechuan Fish was what I was looking forward to trying the most, next would be the Stir Fried Fish with White Sauce. Both absolutely delicious! My husband wanted to try the Mongolian Beef and loved it. The fried rice was good as well as the Spicy and Sour Dumplings. I seriously cannot get over how good everything was. When my order arrived from DoorDash, it was packaged well in two bags. No leaks, even from the fish dish with lots of sauce. They have a pretty massive menu and I'm excited to work through it and try everything! I'm seriously impressed and will be returning ASAP! read more

Color me impressed. A diverse (huge!) menu, certainly offerings that I would literally never try because it's way too authentic, but there's at least 4 things I wanted to try upon the first visit. Got a verbal recommendation from some folks from another local Everett business. It strikes a great balance between modern with appropriate decor; there's no question it's a Chinese restaurant but doesn't have that "old" or dirty feel like some places can sometimes have. We arrived at just the right time, before a dinner rush so the service was pretty much spot on, and when asking clarifying questions about the menu (there's WAY more options than pictures) the waitstaff explained things quite well. I can see where they might be easily overwhelmed. If I had to pick out something for criticism, I wish the chicken pieces were a little more substantial than like shredded chicken bits. But it was absolutely in alignment with other presentations. They were good to split the check between my friend and I, and nice that they're up on their tech so Apple Pay was good to go. Thoroughly recommend, pricing was right, portions were great, will definitely be back! read more

Awesome Chinese meal! This is the real deal. We lived in China and we felt like we were back! Cumin lamb, cauliflower with peppers, chicken fried rice and the green onion pancake. Fabulous dipping sauce! A pot of hot green tea to round out the meal. Service was excellent. Our young man took care of us. We were there at 3 pm on a Friday before the rush. We took home leftovers for tomorrow. Very beautiful restaurant, brand new, super clean. We will be back whenever we're in Everett. read more

Best Chinese food in Everett!! I can tell a lot of thought about flavors and spices went into this menu and everything I've tried has been delicious. Staff is very friendly & you get HUGE portions too. Great location for a lunch or dinner outing since it's close to other local retail shops like Burkett's or a night out at the comedy club at Everett Improv Bar & Stage. read more

Fantastic selection of traditional and Westernized Chinese food. Excellent service with a comfortable dining area

This place has my favorite spicy pork intestines. The dandan noodles are also very good

Alright second meal from FLF and it's amazing! My son ordered the Shrimp Fried Rice again so it must be good he also ordered a Spicy Chicken Wings for himself we shared an order last time. I decided to try the Twice Cooked Pork Belly with a side of the Purple Rice and my own order of the Spicy Chicken Wings. We decided to try two stars the wing and they weren't overly hot I really enjoyed them they are larger than some of the wings available at other restaurants and they are so juicy but still cooked fully. My pork belly entree was loaded with pork and cabbage swimming in a chili garlic oil sauce I dumped my rice in which kinda toned down the heat of this dish, while it is purple the rice reminds be more of a brown rice but everything together in a bite is so good. The pork belly is tender and fatty a real nice chew. The service is good and according to my wife the restaurant was packed all tables full and people coming into pickup to go orders it sounds like Everett has a solid addition to the restaurant scene. The menu is pretty extensive I'm going to enjoy exploring it in the future highly recommended you should give them a try you'll be happy you did. read more
