Frying Lemon Fish

The interior of the restaurant is cute and the service is friendly. As for food, we ordered a lunch combo, which came with a cup of soup, potstickers, and wonton soup.Everyone is happy to see another new restaurant in DT Everett! The lunch combo had generous food portions. It came with fried rice and beef in spicy sauce. The beef wasn't my favorite because it tasted like it was marinated in vinegar for too long. Also, the meat was heavily tenderized to the point that it was slightly mushy. The potstickers were good and came with a side sauce. The wonton soup arrived in a large bowl with several dumplings, and seaweed in a clear broth. The broth flavor was way too light for me so I added salt and chili oil. Unfortunately, I only enjoyed one dish but I'd be willing to try again given the many positive reviews.

We ordered Chicken with Broccoli and Kung Pao Chicken. They were both drowning in oil and tasted exactly the same.The decor is beautiful and the service was attentive and quick without being intrusive. I hate servers standing over my table and interrupting when I just took a bite or was in the middle of a sentence.The dishes and chop sticks are exquisite. I may try it again, but overall was so disappointed with the food, I probably will not go back.

In shortBrand new, already hyped, and absolutely worth every bit of the buzz. Not just five stars for value or anything else--five stars and then some just for the food. It's the only Szechuan place for several miles, and easily the best Szechuan for many more miles. Some of the best Chinese of any kind I've had in my life.In longNear the heart of downtown, with angle-in parking on wide-ish streets. Old buildings that have all come back to life. This place has that mid-century tin framing around the window and the door, but it's light and airy and new inside. Everything--absolutely everything--has at least a new coat of paint, if not all new finishes. Nice light-colored engineered wood floors, pretty matching furniture, nice wall decor. Plenty of window light and ambient light.This place gets slammed. If you go during peak lunch or dinner hours, wear comfortable shoes and prepare to hang out a bit. Try to hit the off hours, at least for now. The lunch and dinner menus both go on and on. Lots of photos of most every dish, so all the pages make it seem a bit longer than it really is. They had two servers on the floor for lunch today, and they were in motion absolutely every second. It still felt a little laggy at first, 'cause the kitchen was slammed, too. The owner came in carrying bags of something they had run out of, took stock of the dining room, and came over to offer us a bigger table and comps of hot & sour and green tea. Took the edge off in a hurry!Hot & sour soupThick stock but not sticky cloying with corn starch--just a nice hearty nourishment. Tons and tons of mushrooms. Awesome when kicked up with chili paste.Green teaSteaming, steaming hot, with fresh clean ceramic mugs and a dedicated ceramic pot. No dreaded silver pot here. They have 3 other kinds of tea available by the mug or the pot. This right here makes me want to come back and we haven't even gotten to the food we ordered yet.Green onion pancakeDidn't come out first, but who cares? So light and flaky, it's like the best scratch southern biscuit except super thin. Very much an appetizer-size portion, which is nice if you're trying (like me) not to gorge yourself on carbs but still love Chinese food. Amazing soy dipping sauce with a bit of sweetness. Really clings to each bite.Spicy sour dumplingsPerfectly cooked, huge flavors inside, big flavors to the soy-chili sauce and veg all over the top. Tons of scallions and peppers to chase around with your chopsticks. You could order this over and over and still want more.Fried prawnsShown unshelled, head-on in the menu photo. Not sure if we said the name wrong when we ordered or if they always come out shelled, battered, and fried. Anyway, these were great. Cool presentation! See photo. Steaming hot for sure. Tons of flavor.Beef with spicy chiliMasterpiece of a dish. Comes out in a heated serving bowl. Piping hot without a doubt. Veg cooked just enough to heat them through and soak in the seasonings; they're not raw salad veg anymore but still show lots of crunch. Absolute perfection. Similarly, the beef is tender, loaded with seasoning, and couldn't be better. Lots of unexpected veg in this, too--cauliflower doesn't always come with this, some thin-sliced root veg, some lotus flower cross-sections. Hard to stop eating this one.We saw many, many other things we can't wait to try. The owner was cautious with us, telling us that one or two things were more to Chinese tastes than to American tastes. I'm sure folks at better restaurants like this get tired of surprising sheltered folks and having to take stuff off the bill, but we want to try everything here. She seemed relieved after the meal, saying "oh, I am *so* glad you like spicy food!" She doesn't even know us yet. Can't wait to come back.

Stopped in yesterday afternoon about 2:30 and was able to enjoy the lunch special before it is discontinued at 3 PM. The restaurant is very clean, bright and pleasant, the staff is very friendly. We ordered orange chicken and general Tso's chicken with fried rice. The soup choices were egg flower soup, and hot and sour soup. Everything was outstanding. The orange chicken was in a light batter with nice pieces of chicken inside. The sauce was very bright and fresh with a lot of fresh seasonings/ingredients in the sauce. The same is true for the generals chicken. I think any of the deep fried dishes are probably best eaten immediately, ours were just exquisite. The right level of crispy and the right ratio of coating to meat. The flavors, again, were very bright and delicious. The hot and sour soup was some of the best I've had in decades. I always like to add white pepper to it (which they offer) but the soups were really good. The fried rice had a rich flavor w pieces of egg, peas and some other veggies and it was very dense but satisfying. I look forward to returning again soon and trying a new dish next time. So happy to have such a delicious (and well priced!) restaurant in North Everett. The lunch special at this time is only $12.95 which makes eating out affordable again! Also, it looks like they have a very nice selection of vegetarian options also.

Finally a good Sichuan restaurant in Everett!!! I've literally have gone to all the Sichuan restaurants in Lynnwood and Everett area. Nothing compared to Frying Fish in Bellevue and I can't believe the same owner opened a Frying Lemon Fish, a Sichuan restaurant in Everett also!! Today I ordered...FeiTeng Swai Fillet--so good and flavorful. My personal favorite dish!! Huge portion enough for 4-5 people. Green beans--super flavorful without being saltyDry cooked chicken, Sichuan Style--first time trying this and was super satisfied!! Omg the flavor on this was on point! Super crispy, hot and full of Sichuan flavor. I did not get to order peavines and eggplant because they were out. Not ordered today but my other favorites are... Eggplant in garlic saucePea vines Deep fried fish, Sichuan styleHoney walnut prawns. Mapo tofuThe owner and staff are super nice and attentive. They checked multiple times if we needed more water and how the food was. Most of the time, when there is a second or third restaurant by one owner, the flavor changes but here, the flavor profile was consistent! This probably will be my new favorite restaurant!! I'll definitely will be going back.

Pretty good! My best friend, nephew and I went here today for lunch! We ordered from the family menu (bigger portions) and split the broccoli beef and house fried rice. It was good, I liked the flavor and spice to it (not heat wise at all but warmth spice like cinnamon). Added chili oil to make it spicy! Great prices - will be back to try some more soon

Stopped by at 3 pm on a Saturday and surprisingly even at that time there was a steady stream of people the entire time. I was slightly scared they'd cater more towards a less authentic menu but I was pleasantly surprised. We were welcomed in and told that it was nice to see someone Chinese come in LOL. And they were helpful the entire time we were deciding what to order off the huge menu. We ended up getting the fish dry pot, the pork tripe with preserved veggies, and the crispy pork ribs. All solid, and we had plenty left over too. If you've never had dry pot, I highly recommend it! Delicious, a great variety in 1 dish, and authentic sichuan food for sure!

Although seating was kind of tight , the food was amazing, service was amazing , and the place was really clean . highly recommend to anyone that likes rich flavorful Chinese food .

Fantastic!My family and I are always on the lookout for new places to try. Frying Lemon Fish will absolutely get another visit from us. Not only were all the dishes we ordered great, but the service was above and beyond. The owner is a sweetheart and made our dining experience even better than anticipated.In addition to the great food and service, the restaurant is new and sparkling clean. Great layout with a wonderful location. This restaurant happens to sit across the street from one of my favorite spots for coffee. Do yourself a favor and be sure to visit Frying Lemon Fish! I know I'll be a returning customer.

Restaurant is two months new and very cute. Outside is fresh for the area and cute. We were immediately welcomed and seated. It was fairly busy for a Friday evening at dinner time. Continued to get busier the longer we stayed. Menu has pics making it easier for newbies to find something to eat if they aren't familiar with the names. I always ask the waitstaff for recommendations. They were not very helpful with this but that is okay; the food spoke for itself. We ordered the spicy and sour dumplings, chicken fried rice, cold noodles and the broccoli and beef. All of the food was great. I would not order the cold noodles again but would try the chow mein next time. The broccoli was a bit crunchy and the meat very tender. The chicken fried rice was our favorite. The food lacked flavor. The resounding flavor was chili oil. Don't get me wrong this is way better than having over salted and processed tasting food. The food all tasted fresh and was good. The restaurant is cute, clean and welcoming. The service was great. The food came quickly and it was ended with fortune cookies.
