Fish With You Revisited and an “Interesting” Observation

After our terrible revisit to Spicy City, the Missus wanted something “dependable”. Because the weather was still on the “cooler” side, She wanted “The Fish” (translation – Fish With You), versus “Da Fish” ( HFS). I now have the translation down! It had been a few months since our last visit so we headed on over.

We arrived at around 1145 and the place was empty of customers dining in; but there was a steady flow of takeout orders.

It was nice to know that our usual here, the Signature Suancai and Fish is still priced at $26.95. And one bowl of rice per person is still free…..I mean a bowl of rice is now like two bucks at most Chinese restaurants these days.

It seemed to have less chilies, which makes it easier for us when we take the leftovers home, as we remove the chilies to limit the crescendo of heat. It’s still spicy, though the Sichuan Peppercorns came thru a lot more on this visit. The fish still tender, there was a decent amount of suancai hidden in the broth. As mentioned in my previous post. We make sure to consume all the fish and take the leftovers home. We add tofu and shirataki….it’s almost better than the fish!

This is a nice lunch for $26.95, with leftovers for another meal.

There’s one observation we made during our visit. We noticed a buffet set-up against the wall.

The “red flag alert” went thru my head. While leaving the Missus asked if Fish With You was going to start serving Hot Pot and the young man said yes. They are starting in the next few weeks. Now, you might be wondering what the issue is. We’ve noticed that when businesses are starting to fail, they’ll often start going “off concept” doing things like hot pot. Which is what Juewei did before they closed. I’m hoping that Fish With You will stick around…….
