My mom recommended that we try this place because she saw it advertised a lot. Happy hour is where it's at! There's so many options to choose and the staff can help you navigate what to get. I've gotten some of their suggestions in additions to what I want. I eventually took my friends here too! read more

Got taken out for my birthday and I decided, let's go to Rosy's! And we went for lunch. Created and seated while the great rock played in the background, surprisingly it wasn't crowded at all! Started with the Calamari (good), my girls got the fish tacos (good and big) I decided on Linguine and shrimp. In the past I've enjoyed the linguine and clams so it seemed the shrimp pasta would be the same... sadly I was wrong. This time the cream sauce was just that ALL CREAM! it was pure whipping cream, no wine, butter, cheese or fish flavor. Bland, thick and flavorless. It was a real disappointment, and I sincerely don't say that lightly, especially a place I love and look forward to going to. Now, unfortunately I have to think twice before either going to Rosy's or at a minimum ordering anything with the cream sauce. Huge bummer! read more

aahh...this one was hard. Service was good, thats what gives it a 3. Salt. has a lot of good reviews and some not so. i wanted to like it - but unfortunately was a miss. Sad thing everything was cooked/grilled well. Fish and chips cooked well, batter good then drop to the fish, no seasoning, just flat fall. Shrimp tacos, shrimp cooked well, but no seasoning...was just. Michelada was good, shrimp was bigger but the same as the fish tacos. Clam chowder...took a couple of sips, no flavor only creamy, sent this one back, again service was good. Would not recommend if not close to the location. read more

Showed up on Saturday, right at noon service was phenomenal young lady that waited on us explained the menu and what are the favorites and popular items, started off of crabcakes very crispy sauce was great. Anything fried is fantastic. Portions were good. Grabbed their well cooked mashed potatoes were flavorful, bacon, green onions., the other half she got the lobster tail clam chowder and shrimp plate. Everything was flavored great portion clam chowder was on fire that day. Fantastic service was perfect. Pricing was perfect. Will be looking forward to going again. read more

Rosy's Fish City - Crabcakes are missing went down too quick, you can see the salmon is perfectl, lobster tail, and chowder was fantastic - Seafood Near Me - San Jose, California

Tiktok shorts got me interested In this place. I went on a Monday for lunch. A lot of empty tables. Service was brisk though. I ordered the clam chowder bowl with lobster tail, beef nuggets, shrimp, and cheesy fries. My friend had the 2 fish tacos sandwich with fries. The clam chowder was bland and tasteless, not good. I did not try the bread bowl. The lobster tail was a pretty good size, and cooked perfectly, accompanied with butter oil. The shrimps tasted good with the cocktail sauce, but the few pieces of steak littered throughout the fries were too few, although they tasted good. The fries were smothered way too much with 2 different cheeses, and I had to peel the cheese off to enjoy the fries. My friend enjoyed the fried fish tacos with avocado, and were prepared with fresh ingredients. Ambiance wasn't the best, and the food was just average. I wouldn't come back again. read more

Rosy's Fish City - Seafood Near Me - San Jose, California

Rosy's Fish City has been on my food destination list for a while. I absolutely love supporting small local restaurants, take me to any hole-in-the-wall as long as the food is great... sadly this place was a miss for me. I'm hoping it was an off day or maybe I just didn't order the right thing. We came on a weekday night with the family, spacious dining area with lots of seating. Restaurant was clean and we were greeted warmly. We ordered the fish tacos, clam chowder, garlic bread and the fish and chips plate. Everything just didn't taste right and we weren't impressed. It's not that it wasn't fresh, it just left a coating of oil in our mouth and the food didn't taste seasoned. The clam chowder was chalky and lumpy, the fish and chips didn't have a crisp bite, and the coleslaw was a hot mess. The garlic bread was hard as a rock, I think only one slice out of the whole basket was edible. The fish tacos were basic but not tasty. The quality of the food was lacking and I'm so sad because I really wanted to love it here. Our bill felt pricey for what we were served and the majority of our group would not come back. I'd like to give it another try and see if maybe I order something else if I'd change my mind, but for now, this place did not live up to the hype. read more

Rosy's Fish City - Lobster Fries Bread Bowl - Seafood Near Me - San Jose, California

I was pleasantly surprised with the service and food during our visit. The waiter was over the top helpful and was ready to get us what we need when we asked. The ambiance was a bit off in this place, there is a random bar towards the back of the restaurant and a couple tvs scattered throughout. It was a bit dingy, but we didn't mind. We ordered the fish and chips. The fish was okay, but the fries were definitely overcooked. We also tried the fish tacos, they were very hearty! There was an abundance of fish and slaw on the taco. I apprecaited the tortillas that held up to the food and didn't fall apart. The potato wedges were good. They have an expansive menu, worth a trip back to check out something else. read more

Not too bad for a Friday evening! not busy at all, BUT as it later, 6ish it started to get busy with seems like the Regular Customers. This has been around for quite a while & I've been going here with my parents when I was little, I'm glad that it stayed in business even after Covid. This place is definitely a family oriented restaurant. Everyone that works in this place is super friendly & happy to answer any question you have about the menu, they re also On It with refilling & checking in on us to see if we're good & if we need anything. Lots to choose from on the menu, so it could be a little overwhelming but, I guess you'll have to go & know what your craving, that way you don't just start ordering everything and anything on the menu. The food very flavorful & pricing is not too bad for the portion sizes. read more

Rosy's Fish City - Special - Seafood Near Me - San Jose, California

I kept seeing this place on Instagram and decided to give it a try. There's a large parking lot in the back, which is convenient. The restaurant itself is small, and seating is self-serve when you walk in. However, with minimal staff, service was noticeably slow. I ordered the clam chowder, Cajun crab, and pasta with vegetables. Unfortunately, the food didn't taste fresh, and the flavors were underwhelming. The crab had a strong, putrid ammonia smell, making it completely inedible. I sent it back and chose not to order anything else. My date had fish and chips with a side of clam chowder. The chowder in the bread bowl was decent, but the fish lacked seasoning--overall, just okay. We also ordered margaritas, which tasted like overly sweet Slurpees. The server later explained that they don't use hard liquor, only wine, which explained the odd slushy taste. It felt a bit misleading, but we paid and left. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and I wouldn't return. read more

Finally got to go in and try Rosy's. I've only tried the fish and chips thru delivery and it was perfect for me. This time GF and I did dine in for lunch. We ordered one the lunch special which was an a seafood platter. It came with lobster tail, grilled beef nacho fries, shrimp, cheesy bread and clam chowder. Nothing on the platter to rave about it was just ok. I went for the fish and chips lunch special which fish is on point fries was ok. Rosy herself I believe served us and place is actually roomy, but doesn't seem so from outside. read more

We have been wanting to try this place and we finally did. There was plenty of parking in the back of the building. We were seated right away, but we went on a day that was 90 degrees and I am not sure if they have ac, but it was hot in there. I got a piña colada and it was good. The calamari was also good. The fish tacos were salmon, which was a first for me and the salmon was dry so I couldn't finish two of them. Since it was hot in there I couldn't enjoy the clam chowder, so I wouldn't know if it was good or not. The service was ok. When we got there, it was only one waiter. I will probably be back but get a different dish. read more

So watching a short on FB on the Lobster Roll got me to come to this place. Not busy on a Saturday afternoon 1pm seems sketchy. Prices are high. Food was come once and that's it. The calamari plate was decent for one person. The Seafood pasta was not tasty like the soup came from a jar per wife. I thought it a bit bland. The seafood was ok but nothing to rave. The lobster bread bowl was expensive and the lobster was tasty and small. French fries are spot on and we ate everything. ( hint even better with hot sauce ) Now the big complaint. The lobster roll. Mostly flat meat not saucy and definitely not enough. I repeat NOT ENOUGH NOR TASTY. Proof that false advertising does prevail. One and done. Fool me once is enough. I'd tell you to go to Taqueria y Mariscos Costa Alegre Way better and leave with a smile. read more

Visible from the busy street, Rosy's is well known in the neighborhood and for some the place to stop by for lunch or dinner. Rosy's has a large Menu that includes hot or cold seafood creations, pastas, steaks, caldos, veggies & chowder. We enjoyed the 7 Mares Caldo, Fish & Chips, and Clam Chowder so I can dip my toasted bread. On another occasion we shared the Fish & Chips family platter over some cold beverages. Gals work hard to take care of you while the chef is whipping up so good plates! Dining area can accommodate larger groups with family style platters and parking is located in the back. We will stop by again read more

Came here because TikTok hyped it up. Food was unseasoned and greasy. Seafood did not taste fresh. Had the fried calamari and the lobster steak clam chowder. Calamari did not taste fresh. The calamari was very hard and chewy. The lobster was overcooked and unseasoned. Shrimp was also unseasoned and greasy. There were bits of fatty dry steak that tasted like it was precooked and microwaved. French fries were also stale. The clam chowder did not taste like clam chowder and was also unseasoned. I doubt there were any clams in it. It was overpriced for the quality of the meal. read more

Rosy's Fish City was a big disappointment. The pictures on Social Media made it looked good but the food was not what I expected. It was so random. The lobster dish on top of a bread bowl filled with fries, some shrimp and meat was so random. The clam chowder was too thick for my liking. And boyfriend's fish taco dish was so random. A plate of steamed broccoli, fries, a bowl of chowder and the fish tacos were salmon. We were not used to having salmon as the fish for fish tacos. Usually it would be some rock cod fish. The lettuce in the fish tacos were too much. No cilantro or anything to make it stand out. And the ceviche came out served in a plate and not in a bowl but the ceviche was the only thing I liked there. Overall, the food was ehh ok but will I be back again, I highly doubt it. read more

For someone that had been craving a seafood pasta late night. I unfortunately have to say I was very much disappointed! I called by phone, to go order, it was 30 mins before closing, uh definitely my fault ordering last minute! It was my first and last time eating there. I had the Alfredo seafood pasta, with the clam chowder soup and garlic bread on the side. It was all just disappointing! the shrimps where cold! Some bites warm and some bites cold. It was like no effort was made in this. It had absolutely no flavor, also the garlic bread was hard as a rock. Then I went in to try the clam chowder soup. Oh no, it was disgusting. Never again. And I paid 30$! I threw it away. Sorry. read more

Plenty good Plenty surprised Was willing to make the trip Delicious food Had awhile back.

This place is definitely one of a kind. I really miss what it used to look like. I remember they had whole cakes in glass dishes on the counter and I wanna say they had an aquarium. I would go with my parents when I was small.The menu definitely has a lot of options. I have to go back to try some more dishes. I got the seafood pasta which was delicious and it also came with a cup of clam chowder with a side of garlic bread. As for the super Michelada this doubled as my appetizer. When I come here, it just feels like my childhood and has a very special place in my heart. read more

I saw a Tik Tok ad for this restaurant and decided to make a stop. The ambiance is what you would expect in a minimal cost seafood restaurant. The prices on the menu are surprisingly affordable. I ordered the oysters Rockefeller and a clam chowder bread bowl with fries. They had lobster and steak for $37, but I was not in the mood for that much food. The oysters Rockefeller were not that great. They were a little burnt and the sauce just didn't have the flavor I am used to for this dish. The clam chowder was not very flavorful, although the bread was tasty. I was actually disappointed with the chowder and did not finish. The service was pretty good and the waiter was friendly. I was hoping, for the price, this place would be a good option for seafood. However, the food was just not very enjoyable. read more

Ambiance is nice and spacious plenty of parking in the back. Service was quite short handed as there was only two and we had quite a bit in our group but also the restaurant filled up after an 40 minutes. It is definitely not their fault but we never got refills. It was difficult to get anything like sauces, lemon, or anything else. Food: clam chowder was very bland, fish sandwich had a THICK pieces of tomato and so it was more of a tomato sandwich then fish (bland as well), calamari had lots of chunks so there were parts that were crispy and some soggy. Potato wedges are random cuts of red potatoes fried and unseasoned. Not sure if I'll be back. read more

Wanted to check this place out after seeing videos of it on IG and Tiktok LOL. As you can see from my other reviews, i'm easily influenced when it comes to food xD. Anyways, it's located in the East side of San Jose on Story road. It can be easy to miss if you're just driving by. It's a blue building with a Weinerschnitzel next to it. There's parking on the side and back. Inside was def a vibe. Not like a modern vibe, but a cute lunch date with your grandparents kind of vibe yknow. On to the food. We got: Oyster shooters- pretty good in my opinion. I'm used to downing smaller oyster shooters, so if you can't handle bigger ones (lol) maybe skip these. But they had a good amount of sauce and provide juicy lemon wedges on the side. Fried calamari- it was happy hour when we went (4pm-630 on a Monday) and it was just like any other calamari I've had. I liked that there's wasn't a whole lot of breading and that it was just the perfect amount of crunch. Oyster rockafellar- This wasn't too bad either. Good amount of cheese, and good sized oyster, quite flavorful. Large clam chowder bowl that comes with garlic bread- I really enjoyed the clam chowder here. It's a great consistency, like it wasn't too watery. It was nice and thick. Good flavor, even better with this hot sauce they had on their table. I forgot what it was called but it added a great little kick. The garlic bread dipped in the chowder was amazing. I would come back here just for the clam chowder. Partner got the Seafood pasta with red sauce- He enjoyed it. He was worried that the muscles was gonna taste like frozen muscles but they didn't. Good amount of sauce, and seafood and for a good price for what you get. We will be coming back. I would like to try all the other stuff on their menu plus the drinks that they have. read more

The service is good, the prices are reasonable, and the presentation is nice -- our plates looked great. Unfortunately, the food is not great. Flavorless rice, soggy bland calamari, tough overcooked beef, soggy oily fries. The lobster was ok, but a little rubbery and overcooked. The clam chowder had no clams or clam taste at all; it was like a nice cream soup that could be tolerable with a bit of hot sauce. But not really Clam Chowder. The Margarita tasted of that fake lemon juice that comes in a plastic bottle. The best thing was actually the seafood cocktail, which had lots of shrimp and octopus in a decent sauce. But the main dishes were disappointing. Overall, if you want low priced seafood it's ok, but if you want good seafood I wouldn't recommend it. read more
