Customer Reviews

"Honestly, I'm giving this place a 4 out of 5 because I've only tried 1 thing on the menu. It's the fried fish platter, mine came with rice and salad, and pita bread. It was fantastic. As a selective foodie, cause I'm not really picky, just have a high quality taste palette. The rice and fish was so flavorful and seasoned! SEASONED WITH ACTUAL SPICES not just salt and black pepper with tarter sauce . The fish was fried and crispy. They even put flavor in the rice with garlic too. 5/5 for my meal. The people there are polite and accommodating. Willing to add things to cater to your taste, for me, I like spicy so they added jalapeno pepper. The first time I went there I actually just asked to use the bathroom, and they let me. Which was considerate, since I didn't have to buy anything. I got there pretty late, but the guy at the front was patient and nice The atmosphere was nothing special. It's like every other Hots establishment. However, I'm not sure why there are office chairs facing tables in the back end. Random, but maybe it was just that night As for the price point, it's pretty pricey. Not different from the prices you'd see in Mall food. Review #2 (7/2/2024) This time I ordered the haddock fish, spicy with mayo, veggies, and mozzarella cheese. I'm disappointed. I was so hyped to eat this sandwich but now I'm not. The bread was on the stove top, but I guess it was the cold part because it's cold and regular. Not even slightly toasted. The fish is fried just how I like it and spicy, but the sandwich was dry and looked rushed. No mayo, no cheese. If I had cheese or mayo at home, it would have been fine but I didn't . I'm so sad. Also, I don't eat meat, so I hate cross cooking . Taking the spatula you put the meat in a customer sandwich with and picked up my veggies is a big no. I paid $17 and some change, I can't even eat it! I even added condiments, but it's just not giving. This is my third time going there and last time. It's not a cheap place for me not to be able to eat what I bought. Granted, I called, the guy said bring it back, but it was around 10:15 and I don't drive. Could go back if I wanted to. * The second time I went,, I ordered fish and a rice platter, the fish was overcooked and over seasoned. Very salty, I couldn't eat it."
