Reviews:
Very fresh seafood! They have a new name for the restaurant! The food is reasonable price which is cheaper than other seafood restaurant in flushing! The seafood is very fresh from the tank ! Must tryyyyy! Highly recommend!!!!!
This is a no-frills seafood spot where you should go if you like seafood and you want to know it is fresh. How do you validate the freshness? Here at Lulu, you pick it straight out of the tank, and then tell the servers how you want it cooked. There is a shrimp sauté dish that is TUH-DIE-FO. All I know is that it does involve some deep-frying, and then it tossed in a light sauce. That sauce & shrimp combo be delicious AF.
The layout of the restaurant is very open, but I believe they do have some private rooms. Looks clean overall, nothing fancy. Just really good food.
Not only the seafood is good, 2 other items we had that really hit the spot:
Stir fry steak and asparagus, and
Soy sauce chicken with garlic
This place may not have the best decor but the food is amazing and fresh!! Even with the cooking fee it's still cheaper than most seafood restaurants!!! There must have is the razor clams in black bean sauce! OMg it's soooo good!!!! Been there 3/4 times already and I can't wait to go back! Just look past the color scheme and the no music in he restaurant and try the food! Lobster in ginger scallion is always a favorite too!
It was my first time eating here and I loved. The fact that you know your food if fresh is wonderful. I would definitely go back. Yes it's a little costly but it worth it.
My buddy and I were looking for a place to eat after band practice and
I had just heard about this place by doing a "Restaurants Open Late in College Point" search on Yelp. I was quite surprised; first, because Fish Village never showed up as a restaurant in all the other College Point restaurant searches I had done in the past and to learn that the restaurant was in the same building as one of our other favorite places to eat- The Buffet. I knew there was a hot pot place in the same hotel building complex as The Buffet but had no idea Fish Village existed until I was actually looking for it.
When we were approaching from outside and I looked up and saw the big sign and blue motif it seemed so obvious because of how vibrant the entire floor looks through the window. Though even finding the restaurant proved to be a little daunting as there is only a very small label right next to the floor select button (along with labels for all of the other destinations on the floors) and we ended up going to the wrong floor twice.
The bright blue ambience of the restaurant caught my attention and worked really well. I was impressed by the vast selection of live seafood in tanks as you enter the place. We arrived around 10pm on a Friday and there was only one other table with diners up front and a party in one of the back rooms so we were sat right away by our waiter. He was very helpful, giving us recommendations and explaining how the live seafood worked, the costs involved, which cooking styles we could choose from, etc..
We ordered the Fish Maw Soup and House Fried Rice for appetizers then walked up to the tanks to decide on the mains. Everything looked so good!! There was a monster king crab all by himself in one of the tanks, some porgies (I believe), shrimps, different kinds of clams (regular and razor), geoduck and lobster. I know I'm probably forgetting some as well. Usually what we do when we go to eat is just do "family style", getting a little bit of everything to share so we decided on the boiled soy sauce shrimp and two of the smaller lobster- one pan fried with ginger scallion sauce, one deep fried with salt and pepper.
The appetizers arrived really quickly and our waiter gave us this delicious vinegar for the soup which gave it a nice zing but also a sweet, almost cherry-like taste. I asked the server what type of vinegar it was as I was interested in getting some of my own but he said they just call it "red vinegar". It was so good in fact, that it inspired me to try cooking something with a fruit-vinegar combination.
The fried rice was also excellent and was unlike any other I've had before. Usually when you get fried rice it is very heavy and oily and usually overseasoned. This fried rice was very light, had a tan, almost goldish hue and if anything was maybe a bit on the dry side but that is fine because it lent itself perfectly to mingling with the soup and especially the sauces from the entrees.
Speaking of the entrees, everything was brought out maybe 10-15 minutes after the appetizers came. All three seafood dishes were great- everything was cooked perfectly and had it's own great flavor profile. The soy sauce shrimp was a nice balance of tangy, salty and umami.The ginger scallion sauce coated each piece of lobster with a layer of sticky goodness and the deep fried lobster had a bold pepper taste (but not spicy) and had more of a tempura-style batter on it which give it a nice light quality. The seafood went down easy but alas, we weren't able to finish the rice and soup so we got it to go.
One of the most shocking things about the meal might have been the price; one iced tea, heaping helping of fried rice, giant bowl of soup, pound of shrimp and two 1.5 or so pound lobsters came out to about $87 tax included!! It was a legit deal for the quality of food and friendly service.
My only criticism (if you could call it that) is that I think they should make their presence in the hotel complex more apparent/better known to the patrons so that they can t more people coming in to try their awesome food. Like I had said, I have been coming to the complex for the other restaurant for years and had no idea that Fish Village existed until now. But we had a great first experience and will most-definitely be back to sample more treasures of the sea.
Fish village restaurant, Me and my friend love everything inside restaurant look very clean and fresh ! I love the simple decor and the food taste very good ! Me and my friend book the private room in the back and we love it , the food is very fresh and big portions! The price is cheaper than the other restaurant in flushing , and free parking! Must tryyyyy!
