Big Fish Chinese Cafe 大魚飯店

For the first time, surprised to discover that there’s such a delicious Chinese restaurant in South San Jose. I ordered two dishes: one salt and pepper fish fillet, and one dry-fried beef chow fun. It was really so delicious! I truly love this Big Fish Restaurant! I must come here often!

I love their Chinese Chicken Salad. It’s the best one I can find anywhere nearby, it’s a weekly staple. The other dishes I’ve had there are great as well.

The first & last time here..I ordered the Double Mushroom Beef & a side of white rice. Beef a little fatty. Not to good on flavor. I had to add a little hot oil & soy sauce to taste anything. Ive eaten a lot of Chinese food in my time ..this was horrible!
I was the only person there & waitress never came to check on me. She was too busy on her phone .
I should have followed my gut feeling when I first sat down, that was to leave.
Also, when I used the hot oil, the top was stuck because it hadn't been cleaned !
NEVER AGAIN!

Review is for a take out order. Food was quickly prepared and I was on my way in about 15 minutes.

The food was generally good but there was quite a bit of either msg or salt in most of the offerings. Both my wife and mother complained of water retention the next day.

We really enjoyed our meal here. The green bean stir-fry was crispy and delicious, the Mongolian beef was tender and full of flavor, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. Definitely coming back again!

My family and I decided to give this place a try as we've been to majority of the Chinese restaurants in the area. My first impression was mehhhhhhh, not really feeling the decore and the location. Since my wife wanted to give it a try, why not....🤷. We ordered their pan fried Bao: a huge let down. It was hard and dry as a rock, as if they purchased a huge bulk and stored it in the freezer. It was not fresh.... absolutely disgusting. Beef fried rice: sigh....... Absolutely disgusting. No flavor nor seasoning, just too bland. Even my fried rice tastes better than theirs. I literally lost my appetite and wanted to leave. But the wifey said to stay put.....oh well. The entire restaurant was literally empty with the exception of another patron. I can see why.....🤦 Never coming back here again.
