    Shrimp
    Diana L.

    I use to not like seafood at all. Then one day my dad brought me here and made me try the shrimp, boy was I surprised!! I fell in love ever since and that was more than 10 years ago! This place is amazing !! Always fresh and food taste great. The price is cheap very convenient. Not pricey at all. Worth it . Food is delicious! Highly recommend this place ! Workers are sweet too. They have a seating place. Combo meals are decent portion . Love this place .

    Got the #3 Fried fish- was okay. The filet was sort of tough and thin Fried shrimp- I really enjoyed the crispness Fried scallops- was okay Fried rice- tasted re-heated Nothing tasted fresh. I had a really greasy feeling in the back of my throat afterwards. Maybe I should have gotten the soup instead. Overall, not the best, but OK.

    Fried Flounder with rice

    It's essentially a fried seafood shack. It's not pretty, it's not fancy, it's cheap and quick seafood. The Korean lady in the front is nice. It's a quick eating spot, there is a long counter on both sides of the restaurant where you eat along the wall or a island that fits around 10 people. It's a very humble working class restaurant. The food: Soup- it's pretty much a Fisherman's stew. It's fish chunks with assorted vegetables, it's actually pretty good. It's filling, warm and flavorful. Flounder with rice- I was kinda surprised how much I enjoyed the flounder, I would definitely get it again. It was fried nicely and the fish was firm and meaty. There were tabeslide condiments of tartar, hot sauce and ketchup. The rice was just rice, think I will try a flounder sandwich next time. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/jose-fish-market-jackson-heights#2eFC0JUkRPZ9M0Cn3vGBXg

    It is super greasy and delicious hole in the wall that has a casual attire dress code. Exactly what we expected. They offer many different options all with french fries or fried rice. It's a great way to get a ton of food for an affordable price. I genuinely like the fried shrimp and the fried rice. It was so good! Now, you don't have to go all the way to the city for deep fried seafood goodness.

    I had stumbled into this place on a friday night in search of something different. i originally wanted to go find a steam-table type of a hispanic place, but im glad i came in here and ate. the atmosphere has the smell of fried fish. AFTER ALL, IT IS A FRIED FISH PLACE. as much as it is confusing to see the sign outside and come in here and see two korean ladies taking care of you at the counter, the quality and the taste is pretty much straightforward, and good! i had the whole fish (tilapia) and fried rice special for 6 dollars, and i must say IT WAS HELLUVA GOOD. the fried rice was subtly flavored but not greasy, and the fish had its head and bones intact. props to them for feeding me a fish dish that is unmistakeably fish - but if you like your fish to be filleted, they have that too. i just have a largely huge preference for whole fish since most fish here in the united states is served in "non fish shapes" my 6 dollar meal, lasted me 2 meals - i ordered it to go, but ate the first half in the restaurant (so i can take the rest home) and had the leftovers two days later and it was still good! i never learned to finish the american sized portion, and i never want to. saves me money and keeps my beer belly trim! this place is almost right under a subway stop, so if you are in the nabe, drop by and eat fish. its good for you!

    Decent. Vegans don't come here. Health nuts, avoid this place. Come to eat fried food. Fried fish, fried scallops, fried imitation crab, fried flounder, fried, and rice. The place is a little janky. Don't come here for a first date, unless you're over impressing one another and just want to eat fried food. Also the TV show with the sensual sounds was kind of distracting. The vibe with the service is not the friendliest, but it's not like they're rude either. They're just doing business. The good: everything here is very cheap! $5-7 for every choice. I like that they give you lines, tartar sauce, hot sauce and ketchup with your order. Enhances the meal even more :) Improvements: - I wish the pieces of fish were cut just a little thicker. It's not the thickest filet I've tried. - I wish they would switch up the batter to a crispier breading with all the nooks and crannies. But for a $6 meal what do you want?

    It definitely took me a while before I decided to venture into JFM. It used to focus more on selling *fresh* seafood and has recently morphed into the only spot in Elmhurst/Jackson Heights where you can get your fill of Americanized fried seafood goodness. The meals are deals - most under $8. The selection is a bit limited though (a couple types of fish, shrimp, scallops, fries) when compared to other fish places that decided at some point to install deep fryers. (No fresh calamari :( although, they serve soup!) JFM's is definitely a good quick-fix spot (keep in mind that it's definitely NOT higher-end quality so one should not expect Chip Shop/Molly Blooms/A Salt & Battery meal here.) where you can hang under the tracks and chow down on fried goodness while watching free cable.

    Great prices and convenient with 7 train and a couple bus stops just around the corner. Easy to find but cash only place. There's a couple different bank and ATMs around at walking distance so it's alright. Not a ton of different choices but there are a few. Pretty fresh ingredients especially with that good price. Portion is just right and gets busier in the late afternoon/evening.

    $10 whiting plate and $12 flounder plate. Excellent with rice. Super hot and crunchy, recommend eating it right there when it's piping hot.

    I am a seafood fanatic and I loved this place. I have tried several Greek and Egyptian style…read moreseafood restaurants in the area of the same concept. Astoria Seafood is definitely the favorite! The staff are so welcoming and warm it's like being served by friends and family. The seafood options here seem bigger than other places, though they didnt have my favorite octopus on this day. There's also a huge variety of sides to pick from. The only con I can possibly name is that we both smelled so strongly like fried calamari after dining here that I could only smell calamari on our clothes at our new year's party several hours later! Maybe poor ventilation or just a very busy day. Cannot wait to come back to Astoria Seafood. Very casual dining experience - a must for seafood lovers no frills and great value.

    Wow! Thats the short review. Took away a star for timeliness…read more Ready for the long of it? The restaurant was PACKED. While movement was limited to shuffling; the line moved quickly. I went with a veteran so he knew what to grab and what to order. It's is BYOB so we headed outside to wait for our food and were given cups with ice and an ice bucket for our champagne. We did have to remind the waiter about our food as everyone around us was eating. It was close to an hour before our food started to appear. I think our food got lost in the busy kitchen so the food started to trickle out and then we had to remind the waiter again about some of the food we were still missing. HOWEVER all the food did come out, and when it arrived it was fresh and absolutely delicious. The "wow" was for the food! Fresh, well seasoned, grilled to perfection, and worth every cent!
