Fish Village: A Seafood Haven for Cantonese Cuisine Lovers in Queens

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.

This place is where it's at. One of my first experiences with traditional Chinese food and it was nothing short of delicious. 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. Gotta love some good chopstick practice.

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!

Good experience, if you're looking for seafood Cantonese street stir fry style this place is it. Australian lobster sashimi is a must try. they also have private rooms with KTV if you have a big party. Just beware, 30% extra processing fee for certain seafood from the tank.

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.

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.

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.
