Frying Lemon Fish in Everett is a gem! The portions are absolutely huge, but the quality and flavor are just as impressive. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of fresh, delicious taste. The service was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be coming back!

We recently dined at Frying Lemon Fish, and the experience was both flavorful and satisfying. We ordered a few standout dishes that truly showcased their range of bold, Asian-inspired flavors. Mongolian Chicken: The chicken was tender and well-coated. It’s a solid crowd-pleaser. Basil Beef with Ginger Sauce was another highlight. The ginger added a nice zing that complemented the freshness of the basil, and the beef was cooked to a perfect tenderness. The flavors were layered and aromatic, without being overpowering. The star of the meal, however, was the Chopped Pepper Hot Fish. This dish brought the heat — in the best way. The fish was soft and flaky, soaking up the spicy, garlicky pepper sauce that delivered a strong kick without masking the delicate fish flavor. It’s definitely one for spice lovers! Overall, the service was prompt, and the portions were generous. Frying Lemon Fish is a great spot if you’re looking to explore bold, wok-fired dishes that hit all the right notes.

what a treat. Lovely decor. Peaceful yet lively music. They made a custom stir fry in garlic sauce with mushrooms - perfect We had green tea and the best sake I've ever had. The ribs were spicy and couldn't stop eating. This was the first time I had fried sticky rice in Carmel sauce . so glad we came !

Love this! My first time and I will definitely be back. Pork intestine was superb. I was looking for a good Chinese restaurant that served authentic food for a while and super happy this place is so close to home.

It was our first time dining at this restaurant, and we were truly impressed. The Szechuan-style dishes were absolutely delicious—flavorful without being too spicy, so even the kids could enjoy everything. Everyone loved it, and we’ll definitely be coming back for more!

At Frying Lemon Fish the service is friendly and the food is AMAZING! They have incredibly good Szechuan style food! The good comes out hot right out of the wok. Portions are big and reasonably priced. I haven't tried anything I didn't love. Free street parking near the restaurant as well
