    Fish Tacos w/ Chips (fries) with Clam Chowder
    Kay O.

    This was my first time ever going to this restaurant, and it hit the spot perfectly!! We were craving some thing light and fish is always perfect and anything deep-fried is always amazing, may as well put the two together!! I have a stupid food, allergies, and luckily, for me, the gentleman working behind the counter, Hoodie, went and found their recipe book to find out the exact ingredients of their batter since I'm allergic to monosodium glutamate/MSG. He was such a sweetheart and went through the roller decks of recipes! I was in luck and none of their fish tacos or Clam Chowder had monosodium glutamate, but their signature House sauce was mixed with ranch and another sauce, so I couldn't have that since ranch has monosodium glutamate in it. My foodie friend and I decided to get two different dishes so we could share. I got the fish tacos which were delicious and I love their different assortment of sauces! We also got clam chowder and shrimp with french fries! Goodness everything was so delicious. we were full for the time being, but not overly full!! I really love the playful environment of the atmosphere. There were a bunch of games you could play with your family and I thought that was very inviting for a family like setting. At the front counter they also had little fidget spinners or pop its , You could take free of charge. Lol too funny!! I definitely wanna go back here and try more dishes and sauces!!

    This place is soooooo good. Tucked in a little area right off the 880 and First st. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, you feel so welcome. I went Friday night and it was so delicious it's all I could think about at work Saturday so I went again! The food is fresh and so delicious. Popping hot even when I picked up and went home with it. It's a must try!

    Had an amazing experience here last weekend. I've had Shark boy bookmarked for quite some time and I'm really glad I finally got to try this place. The staff was so friendly and informed on their menu. My friend has an MSG allergy and they looked through all the ingredients to make sure she can have each dish/sauce. Hoody was especially nice and hospitable. I love the fish here, it's not battered it's breaded. Light and crispy, not too greasy. The fries are seasoned to perfection and I tried most of their condiments/ specialty sauces and they were all out of this world. For sides I would recommend: fries or their clam chowder which was perfect for this rainy weather. The vibes are more laid back and super family friendly! They have a little play area for the kids and what kid doesn't love a basket of fries ?! Can't wait to make this place part of my weekly rotation.

    Came here since I was craving some fish and chips and seen this place popping up lately. You come in and it's okay looking inside not much wow factor. You order on the Kiosk. Ordered the garlic Parmesan fries, friend shrimp and the fried fish and chips. Food was good but taste got tiring after a while. They have sauces but it was okay as well. They didn't have napkins and when I asked for some the guy said I'll give you this much for now. Wasn't really clean the tables. Their garlic Parmesan fries were mid, it had too much fake garlic sauce on it and just over powering to be honest. Their potato salad tasted like it was from Walmart. Probably won't come again but glad I tried it.

    5/5 crust and seasoning. The quantity is definitely less for the price compared so some places but the food was fire. The shrimp is so crispy you can even eat the tail. I wish they did give more sauce tho. Would I come back, yea. Service is always p good to and never really crowded.

    Hella Hungry Fish & Shrimp Plate w/ Cajun Fries ($28.90)

    Never had cajun style fish n chips til here! The food is pretty bomb! I would recommend the hella hungry fish & shrimp plate w/ cajun fries. The fish is lightly battered, seasoned well, flaky, with a light crisp. The shrimps were so plump with a tasty batter. A bit less crispy than the fish though. The fish sandwich & shrimp slider weren't bad but the bread was a little too much/sweet for me. My friends liked it though! The onion rings & clam chowder are so slept on. Onion rings were so so crispy & they were super generous with the clams in the chowder. Sauces here were all tasty and house made. Quick service! They got everything out all at once and pretty fast, especially given we ordered so much and they were busy already. Place itself is very casual and a great spot to eat good and chat. I would definitely come back for the fried fish, shrimp, onion rings, and clam chowder!

    The tacos were good! Both the fish and shrimp were crispy on the outside, juicy and tender inside. Would definitely come back/recommend!

    2 fish 4 shrimp combo, garlic fries, Cole slaw

    Saw this place on TikTok and was curious to try it out. Located in downtown, and it was yummy. Ambiance: modern restaurant that's shark and ocean theme, was pretty warm in there Service: Was good, was checking on us. There's a kiosk to order from. 2 Fish & 4 Shrimp Combo $18.70 (4/5): Fish had a very crispy breading and not greasy. The filet is smaller than what I'm used to. The shrimp was good, but it doesn't stand out enough for me to order again. Garlic fries (additional price) were great, with an actual garlic-and-butter flavor and good texture. Bang Bang sauce is basically a Cajun sauce. Cole slaw was standard, nothing special. It can feed 2 people. Price-to-filet ratio, it's on the pricier side. Would I come eat here again? I wouldn't say it's the best in SJ or Bay Area, but it is a good spot. Just a tad more expensive than other places.

    Got the Hungry fish and shrimp combo, which comes with two fried fish, four fried shrimp, and a mac salad. Unfortunately, the fish and shrimp were mid for me. The batter was a bit too thick and crunchy than I prefer, and I was hoping for something lighter, airier, and crispier. The macaroni salad was also okay. I also got a side of fries, but I was given crinkle cut fries instead of the regular fries shown on the kiosk image, which was disappointing. On a positive note, the cashier was helpful and the place was clean. There is a designated parking spot, however, it is limited as they share the space with other establishments.

    This place keeps popping up on my instagram so it was finally time to give it a try. The restaurant itself is decorated cutely but upon a closer look things could definitely benefit from being dusted and there seems to be some incomplete project (hole in the ceiling). The food however was very good. It was cooked to order so it came out hot and fresh. I really enjoyed everything I tried. Their sauces are good as well. The fish/shrimp tasted fresh and flavorful. My favorite were the shrimp tacos and bang bang sauce. My only other issue which I don't know can be fixed is the amount of single use plastic this place uses. All the sauces come in plastic containers that are thrown away. I noticed we had some extra sauces leftover so I felt even more wasteful. Not sure what can be done but wanted to mention. Overall I had a good experience. The gentleman working was very welcoming and kind.

    3.5 stars not as flavorful as I thought it would be based on videos and reviews. The worker gave us all of the sauces to sample and honestly none of them paired that well with the fish. I think I liked mango habanero best Ordered: Fish and Cajun fries- Cajun were kind of cold and soggy. Not flavorful like the ones you get at seafood boil places Shrimp sandwich: too much bread but breaded shrimp was good Sides: potato salad and Mac salad, nothing to write home about I wanted to try the crab mozzarella stick but they were sold out the day I came. Probably wouldn't come back if I'm being honest The worker was very nice

    Back to front - garlic toast, shrimp sandwich, shrimp, garlic chips, fish

    Been wanting to try this place for a while now, it's safe to say it definitely exceeded my expectations! The staff were so sweet and welcoming. The toast was a wonderful recommendation especially when we dipped it in the bang bang sauce. My partner and I were already discussing what we should get the next time we come.

The place is cozy and serves up several udon options, which my kids always gravitate towards eating. I had the Take Bowl and added on the Ochazuke Set Option. The rice was soft and flavorful, the tuna mixture was tasty. When I added on the dashi broth, it actually became even more delicious. I did enjoy the Ochazuke Set very much, especially the sashimi salmon. It was so soft and fresh. My family also ordered the Tempura Udon and the Shabu Shabu Beef Udon. Unfortunately, they mentioned the beef and the udon broth lacked in flavor. The tempura was nicely crisp and enjoyable to eat. As far as service, the waitstaff was really attentive as they checked in on us quite frequently. They were also able to accommodate my food allergy. Presentation of the food was also great. Overall, we had a nice experience dining at Yaichi and I look forward to enjoying their other seafood bowls in the future.

The staff brought the menu, we said it was our first time here, how do you order. I think he was either new or just shy but he didn't explain much how to order, other than I asking questions. My coworker and I ordered their 2 lbs; 1lb shrimp, half clams, half calamari with a free side of Corn. In a bag/plate, it already includes corn and potatoes. We asked how many corn there was, he said there was ONE. When the plate came, there was 4. We could of ordered something else for the side if it was clearer. I wish there was more clearer instructions on ingredients when we already said it was our first time dining in. Also there was only ONE single potato. My coworker also ordered a side of Garlic noodles. Everything was super delicious. It was the amount of spicy mild that we like. The environment was busy, but clean. Parking was easy to find. Just more explaining about what you offer, where the gloves are to eat, rather than you just pass us this tray of stuff. A need of more customer service would had been nicer.
