A whole fish could easily feed 4 people. The pickled veggie one we got was really tasty.

Excellent service! The wait for a Monday night was short 5 minutes for a party of 4. The waiter was very accommodating and explained everything.

Love, Love this place! On a recent visit to Flushing, my wife and I took our friends there for Chongqing Spicy Fish and we were not disappointed! We had a great experience in their Edison, NJ location in 2022, and this one was also excellent. We ordered the spicy fish - we chose firm because we did not want fish to disintegrate too much - with tofu, asparagus lettuce, lotus roots, etc. as vegetables , and got a cucumber w/ soy sauce app & a sharable drink of Kumquat Lemon Iced Tea, all on their handy tablet. We were busy enjoying their signature dried nuts and the cucumber arrived quickly. It's slightly spicy but also crunchy and sweet - a refreshing way to get your mouth watering. Fish came pretty quickly and we did not have to wait long to dig in. Our "firm" fish was flaky and nicely held together while delivering full might of Chongqing spicy sauce in every bite. Four of us had plenty to eat, along with all the veggies. I especially recommend the asparagus lettuce which gives you crunch, right amount of sauce-absorption ratio, and bite feel, and the Fuzhu, the dried beancurd that acts as sauce retainer. While there is heat and numbing effect from the chili and the peppercorns, it was not too spicy to eat, even for our one Caucasian companion (but, he's married to Chinese woman and pretty trained in spice) and the kumquat iced tea definitely helps cleanse/cool your palate as needed! They also bring you this milky grass jelly drink for dessert, which my friend absolutely loved, and we finished our meal with bellies content & full. You can't go wrong with Hot Space spicy fish - take your village there! Highly Recommended.

Exceeding my expectations every visit, Hot Space is repeatedly a Flushing favorite of mine. If you can handle the heat, come here for sure!! Some MUST READ suggestions for first time restaurant goers: - Must-have appetizer is the cumin lamb skewers if you like juicy, spicy meat rich in flavour. - Now for the fish (main course): Get the 'spicy tofu pudding sauce'... it might sound weird in name but it's fantastic. Striped bass is a great fish, but allow the staff to make recommendations. I believe certain things, when in season, are especially good. Let the staff cut the fish open for you too, as it can be intimidating to approach that huge slab. They know EXACTLY what they're doing. - For additional toppings for the fish, mung bean noodles complement the fish perfectly, as well as the cabbage or whatever greens they have and enoki mushrooms. I like the soft tofu with it too, but you can choose whether or not that fits your palate. - And lastly, medium spice level is ok for a spice lover, but it's not crazy. You can let them know you want a bit spicier than that... but not TOO much, or the cooks might punish you like they did to me once. ------------------------------------------------ Just to compliment this place a bit more...The fish is perfectly cooked every single time. Yeah, it's bony, but that's par for the course when ordering an entire ginormous fish. The staff is so friendly and greets us every time we come in (even though we're still sad our favorite guy left). The portions are so big and the bang for your buck is crazy... it's quite a lot of food. You'll find yourself shoveling so much fish into your mouth, though, and it'll all be gone before you even started. Delicious, and definitely a food coma worthy spot. I could rave about this place all day honestly. It's got so many terrific qualities. And, best of all, if the staff see you suffering because you ordered the fish "as hot as humanly possible", they'll give you an entire canister of water for your table... thank god.

Great selection and quick service. Asked for not spicy and was very accommodating. Very thing came out fast and the server was very attentive.

Still pretty good, bumping it up to 5 stars :) love the grilled fish here! Great for sharing and yummy flavors! One of my favorite spots in flushing!

We ordered spicy tofu flavor with striped bass and it was delicious. The fish was not the most delicate but tofu was silky, soft and perfectly spiced. All the staffs are very polite and attentive. They always give out free appetizers and desserts. So save some room for that!

They start you off with a long plate of snacks, typically asian style nuts. We got the barramundi and some bass in spicy tofu pudding flavor and garlic flavor. We also got two appetizers, beef tongue and tripe with chili oil, a little spicy but overall pretty refreshing. Garlic flavor is tasty, garlicky as it sounds but I did enjoy the spicy tofu fish better. It came with potatoes, radishes, and some other items. Be careful as there are some bones. Great flavor, there's a small fire underneath keeping it warm. It even comes with some wide noodles which were great additions. you put that liquid goodness on top of your rice and wow, amazing. Fresh and tasty. Would come back. If you ordered X amount of food, I think if it was over $100, you get a free drink. We got like a pineapple drink or something, enough for maybe 8 small cups of drinks. Refreshing and just what we needed. Overall, amazing place, great food but was pretty pricey, two fish pots, $10 udon, a drink and 5 small rices, and I think two appetizers rung us around $250 but would still come back and maybe not get the appetizers next time. Also great service!

Visited on sundat evening. You can get into waiting line via minitable. Easily found on their website or google map. Wait time varies. I was placed 18th. Took about 45 minutes but this can be longer. There is a small waiting bench where you can wait in case you arrive early. Parking- there are plenty of paid garage. There are plenty of street parking but always full. Don't violate traffic laws. There are many traffic cops. You will be ticketed in less than 15 minutes ( happened to me) Inside of the restaurant is very clean. Some chair cushions are destroyed but they usually give you a seperate cushion mat They will put your coat or belongings in a large plastic bag, so they dont soak up the smell. They give you a plate of nuts as a starter. Beef stick - well cooked. It tastes really good. Tastes like actuall fire bbq. They bring it in plate and take the meats out for you Big mouth bass- very soft. Crispy skin. I had hot soft tofu flavor. Its pretty spicy. It comes with soft food. I chose 4 add-on package - enoki mushroom, loot, seaweed knot, potato and kelp. And cabbage. This was more than enough for 2 people. The waitress mentioned that too much add on won't fit on the grill. Ask when you order. I definitely recommend this fish and flavor. Everyone was very nice and polite! Recommended!!
