Hot Fish House provides a place for all to come eat really good food, in a very welcoming atmosphere, and receive excellent family oriented service while being reminded while you're there, your family too. Every order is prepared fresh making the fish and shrimp crispy and hot. My husband and son devoured their order within minutes. We will definitely return, and highly recommend Hot Fish House!

We came in to celebrate my daughter's 17th birthday, excited to enjoy some great catfish and…read moresupport a small Black-owned business. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. The catfish was paper thin, rubbery, and inedible. The grits were bland and unappetizing. The fried pork chops were greasy & tasted like they had been cooked in old, dirty oil. The banana pudding also did not taste homemade. After spending over $100 and only managing a couple of bites, we decided to request a refund because the food was simply unacceptable. We returned the food, but the store clerks said they couldn't process a refund and were unable to reach the owner. Two days later, the owner contacted us and refused to issue a refund. We truly value supporting small Black-owned businesses, but based on this experience, we will not be returning. Save your time and money.

I barely had to chew. It tasted like true Southern barbecue without the PNW twist. No gimmicks. Just meat done right. And the cornbread? DANGEROUS. That honey butter could've been eaten with a spoon and called supper. The kind of addicting where "one more bite" happens about twelve times. Maybe it's the pregnancy cravings talking, but this was emotional support brisket and straight from the South ribs. If you've been, go back. If you haven't, go. Just make sure you show up HUNGRY!

The sinigang had the perfect balance of sour and savory, and the BBQ skewers were cooked just right. We couldn't leave without dessert and ordered the turon--oh my, it was AMAZING. Crispy, sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal. The service was incredible--truly can't beat Filipino hospitality. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. There's also a store connected to the restaurant, which was super convenient. Such a welcoming place with great food and even better service. Definitely coming back!

My boyfriend tried Paraiso a month ago and hasn't stopped singing praises for how much food you get…read moreand how delicious everything is. As a Filipino who has family that makes restaurant quality food, he is picky with his food but he said the flavors here are pretty close to how his family cooks it. I am always on the hunt for good kare kare and I saw they serve it so I was already super excited to go. We arrived around 1ish pm and we were able to find parking and enter inside where we saw three tables occupied with happy customers enjoying their meals. They have small tables and large tables, but definitely plan ahead as most of these tables seat 2-4 people. They have a section at the left end of the order area where you drop off dirty dishes in bins as well as a condiments section. They were playing some American pop songs that were remixed but it fit the vibe of the place. Additionally, they do have a grocery side which I definitely want to check out next time I'm there. We were greeted warmly by the owner who was cheerful and patient with us. My boyfriend got their longganisa and lumpia and he was asked if he wanted adobo sauce on his rice which I thought was neat! Now, here is where my complaints from as I was not offered the same treatment on my rice, told that they aren't serving kare kare, they don't have labels for the food at front, and some of the food was cold. I got the pork sinigang and dinakdakan which was pretty good and flavorful. They do have pastries, desserts and other offerings as well. It seemed like there are many regulars who come often as the owner would recognize and have friendly conversations with them. He also bid us farewell when we left while he was taking a quick lunch break, and I thought that was really sweet.

OSJ International is the most authentic Puerto Rican food I've had on the West Coast (not just in…read moreSeattleso far. Most Caribbean spots around Washington lean Jamaican, so finding a place doing proper Puerto Rican dishes felt special. The menu and quality reminded me of what you'd find back on the island, at least pre-pandemic. They had classics like chillo frito, mofongo, and pasteles, and it tasted like homemade small business cooking. Honestly, I thought it was even better than La Isla before the fire that shut that place down. A few pain points. It's far. The restaurant is south of Tacoma near I-5, so it's a bit of a drive whether you're coming from Seattle or even from the airport. It was also cash only when I went, though you could sit inside and eat. Last time I called it sounded like they were still mostly doing the to-go model and hadn't fully gone back to the way it used to operate. I haven't made the trip again yet, but it's still on my list. Also worth saying, after the pandemic when I moved to San Diego, I couldn't find an authentic Puerto Rican spot there either. That made me appreciate this place even more. After the Benito Super Bowl performance I'm definitely craving some Puerto Rican food again. Might have to make the drive soon.

Not sure if it was always like this or just near closing hours when we arrived to pick up our order., The lady at the cash register was most pleasant and our orders were complete, cooked to order hot and fresh. We ordered 2 orders of the chicken dinners, pollo playero and had bits of pork added to it. We also ordered a side of beans. The food was freshly cooked, so it was nice and hot. It was well seasoned. The meats were tender (with the exception of the pork bits inside the rice). The food had a beautiful presentation with onion, green and red pepper slices on top of the meats.
