Liu Roast Fish: Discover Authentic Chinese Grilled Fish in San Gabriel

Liu Roast Fish is an absolute gem! The grilled fish here is cooked to perfection – tender, flavorful, and with just the right amount of char. The spice levels are customizable, so whether you prefer mild or fiery, they’ve got you covered. The side dishes were equally impressive, especially the garlic eggplant and crispy tofu. The service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. If you’re a fan of authentic Chinese grilled fish, this place is a must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! Highly recommended!

This was my first time trying grilled Chinese fish and I loved every aspect of it. It was very easy to order and customize the type of fish, spiciness, and toppings, on the tablet. We ordered the Qing Jiang fish with tripe in two flavors: Liu’s Homestyle (Hot) and Golden Soup Garlic (Medium). The colors were no indication of the spice but I would recommend at least the hot spiciness level if you’re a spice lover. I ended up loving Liu’s Homestyle more and regretted not adding more toppings. They tuck it under the fish so that it absorbs all the flavor and marinates in the sauce for as long as possible. I also loved that the fish was piping hot at all times since it was served over a flame the whole time. I was really craving a scallion pancake but it turned out to be just alright. It was pretty doughy and there was no flakiness. I didn’t try the other two entrees of beef noodle soup and steamed milk buns but I was told they were just alright. Based on my experience of the fish alone though, I loved it.

. Perfect service and perfect food . We came here for a family meal, and it was an amazing experience! The food came out incredibly fast and was packed with flavor. There’s a lot of unique meat options on the menu, which made the meal even more enjoyable and memorable. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted fantastic.

One of the best fried fish in town, their fish was very flavorful and not dry. The staffs were friendly and service was fast. Also their skewers were on point with other stores. One of their special is having two flavors, satisfy both spicy and non spicy perfect for groups that don’t like spicy and one loves spicy and can still share.

Had an amazing time at this restaurant! The grilled fish was absolutely bursting with flavor—perfectly cooked, soaked in a rich, spicy broth with tons of garlic, peppers, and veggies. We picked the spicy level and it was just the right kick to wake up your taste buds! Loved the fun presentation on the hot plate, keeping everything warm and bubbling throughout the meal. The little details (like the sesame seeds, jalapeños, and vermicelli noodles) really made it feel authentic and satisfying. Also tried the crispy silkworm pupae—definitely an adventurous snack, but surprisingly addictive once you get into it! Cozy vibes, friendly staff, and solid menu. Highly recommend if you’re into bold flavors and something a little different from your usual dinner spot.

I came here having heard of their reputation of good roast fish, but didn’t expect them to have great skewers as well! The fish menu was really good. I ordered “mild” spicy and I could still cope with it just fine. The skewers have low salt options. They have the silk worm too. I grew up eating this and it’s not easy to find it in the US. The servers are very friendly and happy, pretty rare in this era!
