Being a big grilled fish fan, I like to explore all available options. This place is located in the center of Seattle Chinatown. It was pretty hidden and interior was very basic so wouldn't recommend for dates or larger family. Also no parking available nearby. We ordered a non-spicy bone-in grilled fish. The first thing i noticed is the fish was very deep fried which make the entire fish hard and not quite edible....it was also very salty. Definitely wouldn't recommend it. Lamb skewers were tasty but a bit gamy and salty. We enjoyed the pork sandwich (肉夹馍) and rice cake with brown sugar (红糖糍粑). read more

This place is a true hidden gem - it has so few reviews and is often overshadowed by all of the other Chinese restaurants in the Chinatown area but it's truly one of if not the best there is! Szechuan fish: Super tasty and a must order. For $50, you get a large portion of fish, as well as two meats and two veggies. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the meats or veggies but I think the beef, rice cake, and cabbage were especially good options. You also get to customize whether you want fish fillet or whole fish and can choose your spice level. So many options! 5/5 Cumin lamb: I really enjoyed this, the meat had a lot of flavor beyond just cumin and the lamb was super tender. I lowkey think the cumin lamb here is better than the one at Chengdu Taste so... 5/5 I can't recall specifics of the other dishes but I'll give my rating of what I remember them tasting like. I'll update these with specifics if I go back and try them again. Eggplant: 5/5 Szechuan Popcorn Chicken: 4.5/5 Fuqi Feipian: 4.5/5 Lamb Skewer: 3.5/5; quite dry Chinese Burger: 3.5/5; wouldn't recommend The service is pretty average, the restaurant is pretty small and there aren't that many customers. But the interior is pretty well lit and it's ok maintained (there was a bunch of boxes near the entrance once which I found interesting but otherwise it's fine). 4.9/5 read more

I love this place. It's classic Szechuan fish! The flavors pack a punch. My only advice is come with as many people as possible because the fish plate is a big! The fish plate is probably perfect for a group of 4. read more

We ordered one of the fish stews and it was so delicious, flavorful and plentiful. A bit oily on top but it didn't bother us. The grilled veggies dish was too spicy for us. Will use leftovers to stir fry with tofu to cut the spice. Be forewarned - they do not ask you how spicy you want your dishes. You also order from a QR code once you are seated. We were waiting for the waiter to come by and realized our error! read more

Such good spicy Chinese food! Can customize spicy and numbing level. Food is very big serving and price is very good for what you get! Would come back again for sure read more

No frills, amazing grilled fish that warms up your world! We ordered the peppercorn flavor broth, medium spicy with boneless snakehead fish. It was not too spicy, the fish was so tender, and the broth was delicious. I can't wait to go back! read more

I teied the lamb fried rice and fresh watermelon juice. It was a great meal for a little over $23 with tip. They definitely don't skimp on the rice. I could not finish the plate by myself. Not a date night vibe, but definitely homey and casual. Location is near the train station which I recommend as ID is known for limited street parking. There is plenty of seating. You order off a tablet, but pay the waitress. Didn't see options to customize spice levels. Maybe for entrees only? read more

Szechuan Fish is the true definition of "hidden gem"! I just came back from eating here an hour ago, and wanted to write a review for them right away! Checking their Yelp, I was surprised to see only 2 reviews as of today 7/20/24, as this restaurant has opened in Chinatown International District since late last year. Perhaps part of the reason why it seems unheard of is because Szechuan Fish is mostly known within the new-gen Chinese community, but I hope more people in Seattle get the chance to try this place out! My friend and I came in and we ordered the boneless Snakehead Fillet Szechuan Fish that comes with select 2 meats and 2 vegetables. We ordered this with beef, lamb, Napa cabbage, and fried tofu. The total for this meal set was about $48 before tax+tip. We also ordered some side rice to eat alongside this meal. All the food came out hot and delicious! The fish was soft and felt like it melted in your mouth. The other meats were also good, and everything else paired well together. Service was great, very attentive! My friend sneezed into a napkin, and the waitress dropped off some extra napkins without us asking, so I thought that was very observant of them. I think if you haven't tried Szechuan style fish or love to eat it, you should definitely give Szechuan Fish a try! read more

Szechuan Fish - Snakehead Fillet - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

are here with my family and it was good. the best dish was definitely the fried tofu stick because it was seasoned soooo well. pricing was not too bad from what I remember...with the exception of $3 for a small white rice bowl. but, the food was good. would love to rate higher, but the service was a bit poor. No walk-through with the menu or recommendations on which dishes to get if you were indecisive. It was as if the staff did not want to talk at all unless you spoke mandarin. Genuinely felt off-putting, so I do not recommend to eat here alone. bathroom was big. crowded with the random cleaning supplies there. not open for public use. when you go to the bathroom, watch your step because there is one stair to step down in order to enter the bathroom . This place was just okay and I cannot believe that the parking for 2 hours on the lot was $15, whereas side street parking for 2 hours was $10 on weekend night from 1600 to 1800, or 4 to 6PM. at least there are nice photo ops around this restaurant read more

Really great flavors! Super happy this opened in ID. There's really nothing more other than the food they serve is delicious. A regular order of the fish can serve 3-4 people already so keep that in mind. read more

A really good place for Szechuan food! They specialize in these big hot pans of fish which you add veggies and other meats into. You can change the spice level which is the best. With a couple bowls of rice, it is the perfect meal to share. We got the boneless snakehead filet with black fungus, bok choy, and sliced beef. The black fungus was really good, nice texture, bonus points for being healthy. Sliced beef was a bit overcooked and chewy, but still yummy. Credit to the super flavorful sauce everything comes boiling in. Fish itself was so tender and bouncy(?) I know that might sound weird but it's a good texture. We got small spicy, and level 1 amount of numbing spice which was perfect for us. Just the right amount. The service was super attentive as well. It was just the one lady doing the takeout orders and serving tables but she still noticed when we were using our last napkin and gave us more. All in all, it was a really good meal, space is clean and new, food is yummy, and service was nice. read more

Food was incredible - everything was cooked to perfection, seasoned well, and portions were insane. I just went with my husband but I think going with four or more would probably be better to share! Although we did take home some really awesome leftovers so I'm not mad about it :) We got the boneless fish fillets with garlic/medium spice/low mala and it was perfect. I will say it was spicier the next day but we loved that. We also got rice and noodles and the noodles were particularly delicious. We ordered extra noodles to take home with our leftovers and it was the right thing to do. Also coming back to edit to add that service was really great throughout dinner, we never had empty water glasses and our server was so nice and helpful. Anyway we will definitely be back to try other fish combos and we will bring our spicy loving friends to spread the word!!! read more

very typical Chinese, I'm a Chinese student and I eat it even missing the taste of my mom cook! Service also perfect. Clean. read more

My favorite local place for 水煮魚 (spicy fish). It was a good level of spice and numbness. Price was on the high side for a tray of fish (~$40) but worth it to treat my friends with once in a while. There is a digital kiosk to order and service was decently fast. read more

Look no further if you're wanting delicious szechuan food. Everything we got here was so good. Servings are big and prices are great. We got enough food to feed 4-5 people and it was under $100. Service was great. The food came out quick and it was very cute on the inside. They had lots of small skewers and the Chinese burger on the menu that would be perfect to grab before a mariner or Seahawks game. I wish we would have been able to try even more on the menu. My highlight of what we ordered were the squid skewers. Such a unique flavor and delicious crisp! read more

Surprisingly good. Szechuan style food with traditional Chinese style dishes mixed in if you want. The Szechuan dishes are pretty spicy with the numbing spice but the taste is still good. Not very busy and good service. A lot of the dishes are very tender and flavorful. The fish dishes are similar to hot pot styles and they put a variety of ingredients you can pick and choose. They also have skewers that can be used as appetizer. The place itself isn't very fancy, but I come here for the food. read more

Szechuan fish This is first time visiting this restaurant, I didn't know this location was at the Pacific Center, after talking to the server, I realized it's the same owner and chef, so I was very pleased to try their dish again after COVID, please see my below comments. 1.Restaurant environment: This location is way smaller than the previous one, total about 7 seats, 1 big round table and 3 medium ones and 3 small ones. If you have a big party, I don't think this is a good spot. Music is all in Chinese, not too loud which is good. 2.Menu: Most of the dishes are spicy, you need to be careful if you can't handle spicy, also you could ask the waitress to adjust the spicy level. Menu is one page only, that makes it so easy to read. 3.Food quality: This time I decided to tried their signature dish which is the Szechuan fish (with bone in). There were so many meat and vegetables you could choose to add on, but the fish itself already came with lots of things inside with no extra charge. (complimentary two choices of meat and two choices of veggies), any add ons cost extra money. Fish was absolutely delicious and everything was so flavorful, fish was very fresh, meat was very firm, didn't taste like frozen ones, skin was crispy, there were lots of add on meat and veggies that soaked in the sauce, which were flavored as well. Even though we ordered bone in fish, there were too many small bones, but still, if you can't eat bone in, just ordering no bone fish. We couldn't even finish the whole fish ( just two of us), so we had to box the leftovers. 4.Drinks: I didn't try their drinks, only water. But i saw other people ordered water melon juice and they were fresh made! Very surprising! 5.Parking: They don't have their own parking, it's Chinatown parking just like other restaurants. We came on a Sunday, so it was a free parking. But I saw a big parking lot across the street from this restaurant, I guess you can park there but with a fee though. 6.Service: We didn't get much service since we just ordered one dish, but she seemed pretty nice that she was telling everyone that they will have Chinese BBQ soon (skewers) which i am very excited about. Overall, this one fish dish was more than enough for two people, the price was not too bad, about 60 dollars for two people (before tax and tips), we still had some leftovers. Flavor was very good, spicy was the key! My wife and I love spicy food, so fish was spicy enough for us, also numbing too, love it! If I have to pick out some flaws, that will be parking and the size of this restaurant, there is no free parking and size is too small for group of 10 plus people. But I will come back again to try other dishes, especially the noodle caught my attention, also Chinese BBQ as well. I attached the menu and what I ordered for your reference. Hope my feedback is helpful, it's definitely worthy to try, Bon Appetit! read more

love love LOVE this place and have loved it since their old location. was so overjoyed to see them reopen on king st! please give them more business - their food is fresh, seasoned to perfection, and the portions are HUGE! not to mention the service is friendly and fast as well. i dine here often and also get their takeout and they never skimp on portions either way. their fish is amazing (i love how its lightly fried before going into the stew - the subtle crunch and flavor is yummy), but their non-fish dishes are so good, too! oh also they open until midnight - perfect for night owls like us. please show them some love and support - they are very hardworking small business with the best szechuan fish in the area! read more

5/12/2024 Update The entrees aside from the fish range from $10-25. Got the red oil cilantro beef and tendon for $16 and while it was delicious, the quantity was lacking. The $2 rice is about 1.5 scoops of rice. Also, the spicy level is not consistent. Requested the same level of spiciness as the previous visit but found it to be less spicy. The soup also seemed to be a bit more bland compared to previous visit. Taking off 1 star for inconsistency. The eating area is clean, but the restrooms are not. May not be the restaurant's fault since it seems to be a shared stall for other businesses in the building. Spoke with one of the kitchen staff and they said the owner is not the same one that ran the szechuan fish back in pac rim, but the kitchen staff is the same. --- orig post --- Was so sad the one at pac rim closed and surprised to find this one with the same name. Another review mentioned this is from same owner? Would be awesome if it true. They're just as good as the previous one, but they don't have the breaded fish option anymore. Note that a tray of fish is a little less than $50, but it's quite large and would comfortably feed 4-6. Rice is extra at $2 a bowl. Also, the spicy scale is pretty accurate, so don't ask for ultra spicy unless you can handle it. Also, the menu seems to have been mtl since there are two options called spicy but the Chinese characters are different - so they are distinctly different items. The first one is actually mala tang, while the other one is just a bunch of peppers, I think. Will go there again and update this review. read more

Although I'll miss Henry's that used to be here, this place is definitely a welcome replacement. I gave it a try today and everything was great through and through. Thank you! read more
