Just saw their new dim sum special and I'm genuinely excited about it! It's such a great option for anyone craving a fun dim sum experience without having to deal with the huge crowds and hectic parking around Main Street in Flushing. The best part is that it's all you can eat, so you can actually relax, try a little bit of everything, and enjoy the meal without feeling rushed. Honestly, it sounds like the perfect spot for a more comfortable and enjoyable dim sum outing while still getting that delicious variety everyone loves. read more

Came here to dinner with my Girlfriend's family for authentic Chinese food! The place is quite large and we had a private room to accommodate 15 people. First off service was awesome. They have a round table in the center which spins around so people can take food. And boy did the food come. Delicious on all accounts! if you want authentic Chinese Fish Village is your place in College Point read more

Highly recommend! Seafood here is amazing and fresh! Pick what you want from the tanks whether it's lobster, shrimp, crabs, etc. We ordered geoduck, scallop, shrimp, uni. It was love at first bite. They also have private rooms available. Best to call ahead for reservation. It is a bit pricey but well worth the price. read more

My parents really enjoy this restaurant, partially for the nostalgic dai pai dong ambiance they miss from Hong Kong and they also like all the fresh seafood options you can see from the fish tanks. I love the variety of crabs and lobsters and I have always had great experiences here. Food is delicious and service is always on point. We recently had dinner in a private room that fits 8 people. The meal came out to around $1,100 and we were all very happy and even had leftovers to take home. I recommend going with a group of people to try more dishes! My one complaint was one of the private rooms had diners that were smoking so we also could smell cigarettes smoke from time to time. read more

Seafood lover's fantasy! The food was great and the staff were friendly. The best part of this restaurant is the private rooms with karaoke and a private bathroom. Great for family parties. read more

Food: 4.5/5. Ambiance: 2/5. Surprisingly good food at this restaurant, but it felt as if you were eating in the seafood section of a Chinese supermarket. They are going for an authentic street food vibe. Based on how crowded the restaurant was, decor/ambiance was not a major factor. If you're just looking for good Cantonese style seafood, I would recommend this place. In my opinion however, if you're paying hundreds of dollars for a meal, a nicer setting would be preferable. read more

Fish Village is a fantastic spot for fresh seafood and bold flavors. Everything we ordered tasted incredibly fresh, and the seasoning was spot on without overpowering the natural taste of the fish. The menu has a great variety, so there's something for everyone, and the portions are generous. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant had a lively, welcoming atmosphere that made the meal even more enjoyable. If you're a seafood lover or just want something different from the usual options nearby, this place is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend! read more

This review is solely based on the ambiance and food since I didn't pay for the meal. The ambiance is great. The restaurant seems spacious and airy. The decor is underwater themed, which is fun. Visited twice and all the seafood we had were fresh since they are available on-site. The fried lobster is a classic and was delicious without being too oily. Steamed Scallops were great and a must try. I really loved the noodles and toppings on the scallops, which helped to elevate the dish -- definitely one of my favorites. The chicken we had was really good too with the right portion size. It was tender and flavorful. Definitely recommend this place if you love traditional Chinese cooking and seafood. read more

A bit out of the way. Food was just ok, and overly expensive with a 30% processing fee on top of each live seafood dish. Waiter recommended the large mantis shrimp. They were very mediocre. We also had geoduck two ways: sashimi and salt + pepper fried. The fried part tasted overly heavy and greasy compared to when I had the same dish at other places in the past. Frankly the best dish from the meal was the sautéed morning glory which came in generous portions. (Geoduck sashimi was also good - really cannot mess up this dish even if you tried especially given the price.) Would not return. With this price point, I could have gone to Le Bernardin instead of a rando seafood place in Flushing. read more

Chinese seafood restaurant with nice open windows and fresh seafood! The fish took a long time to come out but taste wise - everything was amazing. I ordered a bunch of dishes (pictured) and my favorite was the clams. Even the lamb chops here were amazing and priced cheaper than this dish would be in other restaurants. read more

Food was mediocre at best, and service was slow -- my friend and I even had to refill our own water. We spent over $1,000 here, and three different staff members guaranteed our parking would be covered once validated. Before leaving, the man who looked like the owner personally scanned our parking pass, assuring us we wouldn't have to pay. When we got to the lot, it was chaos -- a 20-25 minute backup because no one's passes were working. When it was finally our turn, we found out why: our parking was never validated. The attendant told us Fish Village isn't even authorized to validate parking passes. In other words, the whole thing was a scam. So we dropped $1,000+ on dinner and still got stuck with parking fees. If a restaurant can't deliver on the basics -- food, service, honesty -- then what's the point? Fish Village failed on all three. I won't be back!! read more

Legit fresh seafood galore. I haven't been to a Cantonese restaurant in a long time and this one doesn't disappoint. My friends picked this place and are regulars here. After you get seated, you go up to the counter and place your seafood, how you want it cooked and what appetizers or soups. We ordered the crab with fish paw soup, razor clams, crab (3 ways; sticky rice, steamed over vermicelli and fried with egg yolk and garlic), salt and pepper pork chops, veggies, regular clams and fresh water shrimp. I highly recommend the pork chops and the crab 3 ways. But, just be mindful that they skimped out on the vermicelli... Barely any of it under the crab. I took a star off for the smokiness... There are VIP karaoke rooms in the back and some were smoking in there. Yuck! The smell really made dinner unpleasant. read more

If you like seafood, they have a lot of different variety to choose, you pick out the fresh seafood from the tanks and they prepare for you. Please note that there is a 30% processing fee on all seafood. Our group of 7 came in for dinner one weekend and we enjoyed it. The highlights of the night was the Geoduck sashimi, it was really good. But the salt & pepper style was just okay. We really seafood out with Steamed Oysters & Steamed Scallops in XO Sauce, Razor clams, and Dungeness Crabs. Also tried the Chicken, beef and veggie dishes, all were okay. There are VIP rooms available for private dinner as well. read more

We arrived early for dinner and was able to get a table, no problem. When you walk in, there are rows of tanks filled with crabs, lobsters, shrimps and other exotic sea crustaceans (if you want to venture to new delicacies, this is the place to try them!) The restaurant itself does not scream Michelin at all, you are basically eating on top of plastic wraps. The service also nothing to be thrilled about either. The food, however is no frills attached. Solid Asian flavors and cooking. We ordered the king crab, which was cooked in 3 different ways, steamed, fried and in a rice dish. The sea bass fish was excellent! Definitely recommend this. Can't cook at home the way they make it here. Overall food is good, but prices are expensive. For this type of decor, the prices they charge should be of Michelin quality. read more

Absolutely do not eat here, I ordered basic shrimp, fried rice, and it tasted so plain and just could not eat it, I took one and a half bites out of it then finally told the waiter to send it back to the kitchen. I would not recommend this place at all because this place had the audacity to make me pay for food absolutely did not eat, this is very unprofessional. read more

Fish Village is an ode to authentic Chinese seafood, hidden away on the third floor of a nondescript building in Queens, surrounded by seemingly industrial and warehouse properties. Though it may lack the pomp and circumstance of some of its Manhattan and Queens counterparts, the unassuming and whacky décor of Fish Village hide the bounty of live seafood dishes within. The sky blue painted walls and whimsical aquarium stickers paraded along the walls contrast with the shouting Cantonese and the sounds of water bubbles from the aquarium tanks within. The food is fresh as can be and the chefs will cook the seafood in whatever style you choose. Steamed, fried, over rice, over vermicelli, in a soup, mixed with eggs and custard, or however you wish it. And the variety extends to king crab, lobster, all types of fish, oysters, scallops, geoducks, abalone, clams, and so on. For thoes that don't even like seafood, you can order the salt and pepper pork chops, which are a deep fried succulent juicy fatty pork wrapped within the fragrant peppery crisp exterior crusting. Sending the very best to this Chinese small business after the restaurant was oddly targeted by vandals. I have no idea what prompted the attack, but hoping this is the end and hoping Fish Village can rebound from the damage. read more

Ticky tack... and bring your own seafood forks. This seafood restaurant has a wall of tanks with swimming creatures. During our lunch, Canadian king crabs are the majority. Be mindful that there is cooking fee added on, aside from the cost of the crab or lobster, etc. This reminds me of Quarry Bay in Hong Kong, where we purchased our seafood and picked a small boat to cook and dine there. The service is adequate. The bathroom is clean. The food is fresh. I don't think they serve drinks. Some white wines would be nice. Anyway, two small incidents: The first one is we wanted to or the geoduck clam which is on sale for $19.99 but the guy took down the sales sign and said, "it's $29.99". The second one came after we paid. As we lingered a little longer, one staff came to say, "sorry, we made a mistake, charged you less." The crab was 5.3 lb but they entered as 3.15 lb. One of my friend said, "I'm sorry too but it's a done deal." I would have paid the shortfall but thinking the first incident, I said nothing. 'We're even.' It's on the third floor with an out door parking lot, they cover 2 hours. read more

My family and I decided to try this place out on Father's Day since my dad loved Hong Kong style seafood market restaurants. Unfortunately, after this experience, we most likely will not be returning. The restaurant was crazy packed! No social distancing; it was as if the pandemic didn't exist. We were seated right next to the kitchen section where the waiters would bring out the dishes, so it was quite hectic as well. I get that it's a holiday and it's really busy, but I wished the staff were more attentive to their customers. The first person who took our order forgot to write down that we wanted soup. We thought it was strange that it still hasn't come out, so we had to ask multiple people to check on our order but it seems that they just kept forgetting and didn't even bother checking. At the end, finally someone checked and said it was left out and will ask the kitchen to make it right away. I understand how and why they priced the seafood, preparation and cooking because it's pretty standard in Hong Kong, but the presentation and taste of the dishes weren't anything special to me. I think the only good thing about the food was that you know that it's fresh since you watch them grab it for you. For the price, Fish Village is not really worth it in my opinion. read more

It looks like a fish market when you first walk in, but don't let that put you off. If you need ambiance bring a bunch of friends and you can get one of the ten elegant, themed banquet rooms. The dishes start with very fresh high quality seafood. Then the chef just takes these ingredients to the next level. Cantonese coming requires discipline, skill, knowledge and great ingredients. King Crab three ways was a three way revelation. Tiger prawns showcased such freshness that I never knew was possible. Was there sticker shock? Absolutely. Was it worth every damn penny? That's a resolute YES! read more

Ah the 3.5 stars. Have you heard about the thing where the best tasting restaurants are rated 3.5 stars because of crappy service or something like that? I feel like this restaurant falls into that category. Heads up, this place is NOT cheap. The bill ran us around $400+ including tax and tip for a party of 4. Their service is also Chinese fast, so all these dishes came out rapid fire and immaculate. I suggest coming at like 6:30 pm or 7:00 pm because it started getting real busy at 8:00 pm on a Friday. The parking lot was also overpacked. At first glance, this place looks like a fish market. I saw crates of crabs being hauled in (their seafood wholesaler is Fathom Seafood according to the boxes) complete with tanks full of depressing fish. One huge thing I appreciate is that use every part of the fish/seafood here! Multiple dishes we ordered came from one seafood selection. For example, an order of elephant clam turned into elephant clam sashimi and HK styled fried elephant clam made with the innards. A fish (sorry I don't know what fish this is) made a traditional soy sauce steamed fish and soup made with the innards. I wish I could give you the exact names of the dishes, but my Chinese is wack, so here I go trying my best: 1) Cantonese styled snails - a little spicy, black bean/soy sauce flavored, and fresh! 2) Some kind of harder shelled shrimp - comes with a soy sauce on the side. Good! Issa shrimp. 3) Scallops with garlic sauce and vermicelli - $36 bucks for four of these. I know because my mom complained about the price. The vermicelli was very scanty and dry, and the scallops were fresh but under seasoned. Not bad, but this dish if you care about your bang for buck! 4) Some kind of crab and e fu/yi mien noodles - a little unethical, but I love crab with roe. These crabs had a LOT of roe, so I liked it. The noodles were pretty good too! 5) Elephant clam sashimi and HK styled fried elephant clam- both very tasty, and the fried elephant clam was my favorite dish! 6) Steamed fish- standard soy sauce steamed fish like the ones you get at a wedding. The flesh was suuuper tender, and my family demolished this dish. Remember: don't flip your fish over cause that's bad luck. In addition, we got a soup made from the fish as well. My mom loved the soup! 7) Dessert: Watermelon and red bean sago soup. Never disappoints! This place has great seafood variety, and the dishes are all flavorful and authentic to Chinese cuisine. Service is super fast, and the staff will replace your dishes and tea often. I would recommend having at least one Chinese speaking person here since a lot of the staff are older Chinese people. read more

I am not really a seafood enthusiast but my friends wanted to get a large enough group to take on a 8-10lb king crab. Went here for Lunch on a weekend and then place was not very full. They specialize in Live Seafood. That is to say all the seafood is alive in tanks up until the moment they cook it for you to eat. The seafood is literally as fresh as can be and they cook it in whatever style you want as they order a few choices. For the crab they allow up to 3 different preparations for the same crab, so we had some fried, some steamed and then finally part of it used in a steamed egg custard. All very very delicious. The restaurant itself is pretty bare bones and the bathrooms are quite gross so knocking off one star for the actual restaurant. read more

Royal Canton Seafood Palace - Scallops - Seafood Near Me - Queens, New York

If you are a seafood lover, this is definitely the place for you. Right in the center of queens Chinatown. There is a parking lot for the entire mall, but it gets pretty packed. The restaurant is on the third floor and there is an elevator in the building. As soon as you walk in there are a bunch of large tanks with lobsters, crabs, eel, fish, turtles etc. You can choose what you want from the tanks, or just order from the menu. The restaurant is a decent size and they also have private rooms with Karaoke machines. The private rooms have a bathroom inside and the tables are large, at least for 10 people. We went there for a birthday dinner and got the private room. We ordered mussels, two types of shrimp, lobster, lobster fried rice and a beef soup. Everything was pretty good and fresh but the lobster was excellent. The service was great, staff was friendly and attentive. We were 6 people and our bill was $900 with tax & 25% tip. read more

Royal Canton Seafood Palace - Table in private room. - Seafood Near Me - Queens, New York

Flushing is out of the way for me, so I usually do not travel that far, but when I go, I would look for something unique that I cannot easily find in Manhattan. This restaurant is an example. This is a Hong Kong style seafood market and kitchen. You can pick out your seafood and pay by the pound, then specify how you would like them to be cooked and pay a fee for preparation. I have dined in places like these in the Tuen Mun area when I was visiting Hong Kong. Due to the market price for seafood and the preparation fee for making the dishes, you can expect the price to be a bit pricey. We ordered an Alaskan King Crab that is over 6lbs for 3 people, and they could cook it 3 ways - we got the fried king crab legs with duck egg yolk, steamed crab with XO sauce (but they made it with garlic instead by mistake) and crab fried rice. We also ordered abalones and asked for them to be steamed with XO sauce. For menu items such as poultry and vegetables, you can order them from the various menus at the table. For those items, they are quite reasonably priced. When the crab arrived prepared in the incorrect way, steamed with garlic instead of XO sauce, the server tried to find out who took our order at the seafood stand, and then he returned minutes later with a small dish of XO sauce and told us to apply to the top of the steamed crab. The shell was cracked, so in general, it was easy to take out the meat. We did have to ask the serve for the small forks to remove the meats inside of the claws. The steamed crab with garlic dish tasted fresh and decent. Next time, I would try it with ginger and scallion or black bean sauce. The fried crab legs with duck egg yolk was my favorite dish, I like that the shell had already been cracked, so you would take out the succulent amount of crab meat with ease. The crab legs tasted fresh and flavorful. The dish did not feel oily. The crab fried rice was my least favorite, we should have ordered it to be prepared with glutinous rice instead. The fried rice tasted a little bland, and it was on the drier side. It definitely did not highlight the freshness of the crab meats. The presentation in the crab shell was nice nonetheless. We ordered the snow pea shoots stir fried with garlic and it complemented the rest of the meal well. Dishes arrived quite quickly; however, service was a bit lackluster, we had to try to get the attention of the servers a couple times to get a clean plate or wet wipes. They definitely could work on the service given the average costs of a meal here. At the conclusion of the meal, they gave 3 slices of watermelon as desserts. The watermelon was sweet and juicy, but I wish they would be a bit more generous with the fruits, maybe 2 slices per person instead of 1. All in all, I would bring friends who are seafood lovers and visiting from out of New York to visit this restaurant for some fresh seafood prepared in Eastern cooking style. You cannot expect it to be at par with the ones you can find in Hong Kong, but it is close, and definitely a plus that you do not have to fly across the oceans to Asia to have reasonably priced MP seafood prepared in ways you specify. read more

The food is pretty good but be warned that you will be left waiting a LONG time if you're there on a busy night. Also, don't go in expecting the greatest service or even decent service. It's not a bug it's a feature when it comes to these types of restaurants. All their seafood dishes are fresh. You can literally see the tanks of live seafood next to your table. The House Special Fried Rice was not special...it was chewy, dry, and bland. Definitely recommend sticking to seafood and noodles. You can complimentary orange slices and tapioca porridge at the end of your meal. read more

One of the better seafood spots near flushing. But too bad im not a seafood person. I only eat certain seafood. The big boss here used to be my partner at a ktv spot. So I used to come here a lot but havent been here much lately. One my close friends asked me to dinner and we got a room here. They all said food was pretty good but like i said im not really into seafood. so the limited amount of seafood i did ate it wasnt bad. i ordered a chicken and beef dish too and it was pretty good. The service was pretty good too. If youre into seafood, esp fresh seafood, this spot is def for you. In the front they have all live seafood you can pick from and than they cook for you on the spot and you pick wateva flavor you want it to be. I rarely eat live seafood. If i have to kill something for someone to cook i wouldnt eat it. so thats y i said im not really into seafood since ppl like them fresh but me, i rather eat the frozen ones. But a lot of my seafood friends like this place. The main reason i gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because 1, im not really into seafoof and 2, i feel the food here is lil overpriced. For ppl that loves seafood im sure mayb its worth it for you guys. but for someone like me that isnt really into seafood, i prefer asian jewel more because i felt it tasted just as good but at a cheaper price. Either way, seafood lovers cant go wrong here. go give it a try read more

Had my engagement party here and the staff were really attentive and seafood was always very fresh. Love that their prices are reasonable based off the market price of seafood. After their renovations, this place is great for a private party for family dinners. They also had karaoke in the rooms! I cannot believe those low-life teenagers destroyed this place, hope they rot in hell for their crimes. It makes me so sad to see they destroy small businesses like this one. Will always support this place especially because they have great food/service! read more

In an assuming parking lot next to a now defunct hotel de Pointe, Fish Village is sandwiched between a karaoke bar and a hotpot spot both of which bodes for a good night. Similar to other places such as Astoria seafood, this Chinese run operation sells seafood picked from tanks and priced at a bargain. For an extra service fee, they will then cook the seafood for you in 3 available styles (steamed/deep fried/ or stir fried). Since we had gotten a ridiculously huge crab, we opted to get all three styles with the steamed surprisingly coming out on top as the minimalist preparation allowed for the sweetness of the crab to come out. Decently attentive service but not hovering, one wonders why the ratings here have been so low. The premise is simple here, fresh seafood at reasonable prices. P.S they have a Parking lot with validation read more

Cantonese style seafood restaurant. Has a parking lot attached and is on the third floor of a hotel, pretty unassuming on the outside. You know the seafood's fresh because you literally pick what you'll be eating from the tank. They grab it for you and weight it right in front of you. Heads up that whatever the price is as advertised, they'll take on an additional fee to cook it. We had a 10.5 lb Alaskan king crab for 12 people, cooked 3 ways (steamed with garlic, fried, and fried rice on the shell). Bonus points for the plating in the shell and the rice was surprisingly not oily. read more

In fact I watched as another customer got up and left from her table shortly after being seated. But stick around long enough and you will be rewarded with yummy food.

They brought me tea and roasted peanuts to start which were both very good. I ordered the spicy frog and white rice which was phenomenal. Very flavorful, spicy, and a good size portion too. I would love to come back here some day. I was the only American In the restaurant at the time and being new to traditional Chinese food, the waitress did a great job of making me feel welcome. It was neat to see the live seafood display as you walk in. Thanks for a great dinner! Recommend this place for people looking to try traditional Chinese for the first time.

Food totally fresh and good, but please look at price seriously for all the live seafood, and there dish are smaller then others

Yes it's fresh seafood you can choose right from the tanks that they have it line up on the wall on your right when you walk in. The way it calculates is price per pound for the item and then they charge another price for prepare and cooking. I don't know how they charge for the price of preparation and cooking but to me I think is a ridiculous numbers add on. The taste of the cooking is anywhere you can get from a regular restaurant's! Even for just regular steam crab(as you can see on the photo. No sauce, ginger or scallions) they charge $60 for the crab and then $17.99 for prep and steam which you can just buy your crab from market and steam yourself without the extra $$. I fell like a sucker after paid my bill of $600+ read more

Be prepared for a rip-off. I called to confirm the price of the crab and ordered a takeout. When I picked it up and paid, I saw the price is 10% more. I called to ask why and then they told me takeout is more and I haven't heard any price communicated to me over the phone. Even if the manager insisted he said the takeout is more expensive but wouldn't he need to tell me by how much? And after I confronted with the manager, he is so arrogant to say if you don't want it you just take the crab back. So I guess they can resell to another customer without knowing it was someone's returned crab. I am even worried about how 'fresh' or 'live' for your ordered seafood. I will never come back again. I used to be a loyal customer but surprisingly saw today in a Saturday dinner time it's still half full of tables. No wonder. read more
