Reviews for Blue Whale House Restaurant (Happy Fish House Restaurant) in Richmond, BC

Honestly just an ok restaurant?the interior looks old and greasy, the portion for food was big, verges are super fresh. But the... classic Sauerkraut fish taste plain, first bite was really weird. Was too sour so covered other flavour. The churros were sonice, especially the one with yoghurt, highly recommended ???? Read more

We came here to celebrate my mom's birthday. Food was good but they came out so fast it makes you wonder if it was just... reheated. I really enjoyed the roast duck though. You get a good juicy portion of meat where as other roast ducks at otherrestaurants don't always have much meat. What really threw me off, and the reason for 3 stars, was when the server said thatour tip wasn't acceptable to their standards and said it needed to be higher. Off-putting and entitled behavior. Won't berecommending any of my friends to come here. If she had asked nicer I probably would have given more than 20%. Read more

I honestly don’t know why there are so many 1 star reviews. I liked this place! Their serving speed excels! They use live... fish, not frozen fillet in their ????and the service was not as bad as in some of the comments. Read more

Summary: - dining environment is great, very nice cute decor - food price is above average, porportion is reasonable. Quality... is ok. - absolutely terrible service and dining experience, waiters just give zero care. --------- Note: my gf and I went tothe restaurant on a raining Sunday afternoon (3pm), there were only 3 tables of customers, 1 manager and 2 staff on thefloor 1. Entrance After entering the restaurant, we noticed there was no receptionist, so I asked the bar tender if therestaurant was opened or not. The staff looked at me, looked down and left us hanging there without saying a word. Threeminutes later, the manager finally there, signed us in and got us a seat 2. Placing order After we finished marking on themenu, I've raised my hand and signal a waiter that we are ready. He came, grab the sheet, and left without saying anything orconfirming the order. And without a surprise, when he return with the order note, he missed dishes. So I had to raised my handagain, and the waiter came over, frowned, asked : "what?" and we ask ask gently they he may has missed, the waiter responded:"oh". And just walked away to place the order. 3. Asking for napkin I raised my hand, one staff saw me and walked away, so Iwaited. When the second staff is closed to us, I raised my hand again, he looked at me, and just walked away. I stood up andwalked close to him, and before I open my mouth, the waiter said impatiently :" just wait" And no one came to assist us untilthe manager was on the floor again. Read more

Sooooo yummy! Got the Sauerkraut fish without the spice and it was a lot better when my mouth (and other parts) was not on fire.... The peking duck was good too. Service was average. Read more

Came here for the Peiking duck but left disappointed. Dishes are pricey and the portion is small. Duck is not that good either,... no flavour. Service is bare minimum. Read more

Highly recommended!!! Everything was so amazing, and I can promise this is a really authentic Chinese cuisine. Didn't try Peking... duck last time I went, I will definitely come back!! Read more

Food and price was very good. I would definitely come back. They could definitely improve on their service though.
