Big Fish Chinese Cafe 大魚飯店

The food was excellent. Our server was amazing! He was tentative and friendly. New favorite place in the neighborhood.

Very good！Noodles and fried rice were truly delicious — a happy dinner!

I agree with Z. Alex on this one, definitely one of the best Chinese Restaurants in town. I am an addict of Wor Won Ton soup and have tried many different spots in San Jose looking for that authentic taste, found it here. Spring rolls are also some of the best in town. I have not had an opportunity to eat there in person, just have ordered through DoorDash, food is consistently great.

Sichuan boiled fish with pickled greens was missing flavor and Sichuan pepper. It felts like diluted with water.
Cumin lamb had good flavor but was so chewy that my jaw hurts. It felt like FAFO.

I love this place for dining in and take out. The food is very fresh and delicious and the portions are generous.
Service when you dine in is very good and they have high chairs for baby’s and are very family friendly.

We spent $30-50 per person when we dined in but we took home plenty of food for our lunch the next day. When I get take out it is usually $20/person and we don’t have leftovers.

Lunch: service is poor. No tea and no water provided. Dinner: I ordered stirred fry Chinese broccoli. I got mostly the leaf part, not the stem which is the tasty part. Why? Overall, quality of food and the chef needs to be improved, based on the price charged. Until That's done, business remains poor.

Unpretentious setting, but the food is incredible. The pork belly and cabbage was completely unlike any other pork belly I've had- instead of crunchy with a sweet sauce, this was melt-in your mouth soft, set off by crunchy cabbage, and with a sharp vinegar based sauce. Fantastic! The Hong Kong noodles with seafood were a treat- I've never had a crunchy noodle dish before, and it set off the seafood well. Finally, the salt and pepper shrimp were perfectly prepared- crunchy and spicy, and I couldn't stop eating them!

This is definitely the best Chinese restaurant I have ever encountered. I ordered their takeout today and I was really satisfied! I ordered Mongolian Beef and General Tso's Chicken and the food was still hot when I picked it up and there was no leakage. The beef meat is very tender, General Tso's chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce is rich and delicious. It makes my mouth watering. I will come next time.

The dry fried beef Chow Fun were very mushy, all clumped together, which makes me doubt whether they were freshly cooked. The quality was poor.

I cannot rate, because I am allergic, to all seafood.

Very disappointed in this place !!

It was delicious. I ordered garlic vermicelli, hand-shredded cabbage and sizzling beef. It was a bit salty overall, but the taste was very good! Treasure shop!

I went to this restaurant after reading previous Chinese reviews. The dishes are all good and taste good. The main dish ordered today was scallop vermicelli, which was pretty good.

Ordered schechwan beef after talking to them for 10 minutes and confirmed that they make it spicy and no sugar. Got it and opened at home it was sweet like sugar with so much of flour and no beef. Called them and the response was we make them sweet and no apology or offer to replace.Bad place don't ever go or order.
