The Flaming Fish

This place is a no for me. I almost didn't even try the place because my initial experience was terrible. We left and only came back because we were meeting people. When you walk in there's a sign that says "please wait to be seated" so we patiently waited. There were two women ordering ahead of us and no one acknowledged us being there. We stood there for about ten minutes and there were plenty of people that worked there just walking around. To top it off, the restaurant was empty. Once someone FINALLY addressed us, it felt like she was trying to convince us to not stay. She said it would take an hour for food and she could seat us, but we would have to deal. Then we asked what's the alternative. The whole conversation was confusing.After returning we ordered a bunch of stuff and nothing was that good. The queso tasted a little fishy. The jambalaya was spicy and tasted tomato based. The quesadilla was just different. Everything was over seasoned. Try at your own risk! The environment is like a family owned business feel, but also still feels like it's a new restaurant that still has some kinks to workout.

I drove from Cypress to try this food based on instagram posts, influencer recommendations, etc. I called while on my way to ask how they prepare their shellfish and if it's cooked in the same oil as the regular fish because my wife has a shellfish allergy. Was informed that all shellfish Is cooked separately so I proceeded to go and order. Once I get there, I asked for my crab cakes and shrimp to be in a separate container and bag due to the allergy and I was told that would be perfectly fine. I also asked for my fish to be made crispy and was told that would be ok as well. They did say that it may be a little dark because of their "seasoning". I was fine with it as long as it had flavor. I get my order and arrive home to see that my food was not separated (so my wife did not eat), soggy and flavorless sides and what's worse was not only was my good dark but it was BURNT!!!I called but they were closed for the evening so I send a direct message on instagram. When the next morning came, my message was not read but they are posting for the day. So I called again. When I finally spoke with a "manager" she was more offended that I said the food was burnt and bland because she cooked it instead of risking my wife's health and not following instructions. So I asked to speak to someone else. When I explained the situation to the next manager, he stopped me and said that they shouldn't have even served us because of my wife's allergy and how they cook and store the food!!!!I was beyond pissed based on my detailed questions and just casual responses as if they were doing something right. By the time the conversation was over, I received a full refund. Unfortunately, I can never patronize a business that isn't focused on what the customers needs are and just has a nonchalant attitude when it comes to food safety of customers.

This place is a hidden gem that EVERYONE needs to try. Listen whoever is in the kitchen has blessed hands. The food is soooo flavorful in EVERY bite you hear me! We ordered a variety of things on the menu and NONE of them disappointed. I will be sharing this place with everyone I know and beyond.

Waiting two hours for my pick-up order to be ready. They need to figure something out to keep up with the amount of orders they received. The food was good over all

ABSOLUTELY THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE AT A RESTAURANT I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. Arrived on a Sunday at 12:30 pm...left at 3:20 pm. Told it would be 30 minute wait upon arrival. It was 50 minutes. After being seated it took 25 minutes for a server to come over. After getting water from server it took another 15 minutes for her to take our order. After placing order it took 1 hour ten minutes to get order. Only 1 cook in the kitchen. Server stated to-go orders along with the dew customers in the restaurant (see photo) were the problem. Gave them two stars because food was delicious...but they killed my whole vibe and every other customers vibe too. Several got up and left. Owner may want to stick to the food truck business if they can't keep up.

Probably closer to a 3.5 but rounded down as I'm not sure it's a 4 for me. This is pretty recently opened where the old petit cafe used to be and is in the same strip center as Poblanos. It's quite spacious inside so getting a table shouldn't be a problem. We arrived ~7:30 pm on a weekday. Maybe this place gets more business at lunch but there was only one other table the entire time we were there. I love a good fish fry, so was eager to try this place out. I ordered the beer battered haddock (2/5). Unfortunately it did not satisfy. The beer batter was not as crunchy as I'd have liked and the fish was kind of thin. Maybe I should have gotten the catfish. The fish fry came with fries and two sides. I enjoyed the two sides more than the fish. The amount of fries (1/5) that came with the fish was astounding. More than enough for 2-3 people. But they were just regular fries and not crisp at all. I ate two and felt bad that there was a whole plate left at the end. The sides were also huge - rice and beans (5/5) + macaroni (4/5) both good. The "award winning" shrimp po boy (5/5) was indeed very good. Shrimp fried well, very plentiful, well dressed. The sauce was a little too spicy for me though. Wonder if they can do a different sauce if I ask for it. There is a bit of a wait, as I assume everything is being made to order. What intrigued me was the number of available preparations for the fish fry. I may go again to try. Really want to support local so hope I order the right thing next time.

Took the food to go, more than an hour wait but it was worth it. Great customer service. Only thing I would say is that the stuffed mushrooms are not worth the price & the Mac was bland. The pizza & salmon sliders were the best. Even good the next day!

Flaming Fish brings the Flavor. Everything I've had is mouthwatering delicious. I especially like the Bombay shrimp for is generous serving of shrimp, zesty sauce and coke slaw.The dining area is not full of ambience but it doesn't matter because it's all about the delicious food. It's a big space but there are not a lot of tables. It seems they do a large take out business. Keep in mind it's not fast food and food is cooked when it's ordered. It's worth the wait.

A gem! Service was great, very cool vibe to restaurant, food was well seasoned and prepared impeccable. Everything we had was good! I'll definitely be back when they get they liquor license!

Can't get into seafood due to allergies, but I realized this place had other stuff than non-seafood so I decided to check it out.Place was nice on the inside and I agreed with the music choice as well. So I was jamming along to Rap and R&B being played. Most of it was late 90's, early 2000's. Service wise, they did a great job. The people serving me were awesome and they checked up on me. I ordered the Hendrix Mushroom Chicken. It's a fried chicken breast served over mashed potatoes and asparagus. It's topped with a creamy mushroom sauce, and it all just blended together. They were out of asparagus(it happens), so they did let me pick another side. I also added some Macaroni and Cheese along with a mango lemonade. All in all, it was mind-blowingly good . It's like when you have really good sex that you don't need any more for a while. You're good for another 3000 miles.
