Fish Market

Great dive bar with really good food. I got the fish and chips and they were very tasty, fairly priced too. staff was super nice and the ambiance was great. Also shots on the house every once in a while. Kind of annoying having to open the door from the corner but not a deal breaker haha would recommend!

Hidden treasure in downtown seaport area. Go for the drinks but the food is a must!1. Must order their fried rice2. Must order their ginger wings3. Must order their pork bellyThe staff is also top notch! Make sure to have electrolytes ready. IYKYK

I walked by Fish Market probably 100 times since I’ve lived in the financial district. Many of my neighbors and friends told me about the place but I never went until recently. It’s now absolutely one of my favorite places in the neighborhood. The staff are incredible, the food is amazing and the free Jameson shots make me happy. I love the variety of the menu and the fun atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back!!!

Wild and crazy and so much fun. Ask for the specials that are NOT on the menu...Bartenders are awesome. Its loud, but worth it. Get there early.

We loved our evening at Fish Market! An unassuming local bar that has delicious food and amazing service! Our server, John, was so friendly & pleasant! He gave us recommendations on the menu, Jameson shots on the house, and even gave me a little extra wine after I accidentally spilled some on the table (oops!). The atmosphere is so chill. No frills. But delicious food and friendly staff!

Looks like its closed down on the outside but its very much alive and open! Love the vibes and treatment here. Bartenders are GREAT and food is tasty. Sometimes the most dingy lookin holes in the wall are the best! Will be coming here again.

Hands down one of the best home style Thai restaurants disguised as a dive bar. Friendly service and if you hang out long enough you’ll get a free shot of whiskey. The ginger wings were cooked to perfection so juicy and tender.Tip: to open the front door which has no handles reach for the top corner and pull.

Fantastic food with great friendly service. These guys are slot of fun and do their best to make everyone happy. The food is incredible as well. The dumplings, ginger wings and yummy noodles were all top notch. Looking forward to making regular visits.

All I came here for is the oysters and it didnt disappoint. It was fresh and the taste was spot on oyster. Enough for my seafood craving!The bartender was very friendly and quickly took care of us as soon as they opened. I am sure the rest of the dishes here are also good.

Alright, let’s get serious for a second. The shattered door with no handle is one thing, but I’m talking about the homestyle Malaysian kitchen that brews hours long Beef Rendang in the back of this unassuming dive.You’re never gonna miss when coming here, sometimes packed shoulder to shoulder, other times quiet only to be populated by a few tourists and the family that owns the spot.Jeff the owner is the nicest guy in town, always making sure everyone is taken care of 😏10 out of 10.

Worst part of that the place was the embarrassment not knowing how to open the front door! But it was a really cool place. Jammed. Unusual in that the food was very good. Asian cuisine. Bartender or waiter or whoever he was walking around doing shots with the customers. I would definitely go back!

This place was amazing! We felt like family the minute we walked in. They welcomed us and our kids for an epic dinner on Christmas Day. Mama’s chicken was the highlight but truly every dish was delicious and the staff was so thoughtful and attentive (Jameson shots are real). Both totally unique and familiar at the same time.Will come back whenever we are in town

Fantastic spotmust orderdrunken fish soupYummy noodlesPork belly potFried riceThe owners are passionate and friendly!Contagiously happy mood!

Owner/bartenders Adam and Jeff are funny, kind and gracious. You can call it a dive bar or hole-in-the-wall. Either way, it’s the kind of bar I love - - relaxed vibe, fun crowd and workers who actually want to MAKE YOU FEEL WELCOME to their bar.

Delicious Asian food in a dive bar ambiance. I kinda wish they serve food in real plates and silverware. Eating in with paper plates and plastic silverware makes it feel like eating take outs at home.

Vibe was weird. Super uncomfortable experience. Never given a 1 star review till now.Bar was a bit crowded so we walked in, said hi to our friends who had already gotten a few rounds, then went to the bathroom line before ordering a drink.They tapped us on the arm and said “YOU HAVE TO GET A DRINK BEFORE USING THE BATHROOM” then screamed across the bar, finger pointed down on our heads “HEY. MAKE SURE THESE THREE BUY A DRINK BEFORE USING THE RESTROOM. HIM, HIM, AND HER”So one of us buys a drink. The dude follows us and goes “no. All three of you have to buy a drink.”And then points on our heads again. And says “this one and this one”We’re like “ok can the girl in our group pee?” Nope. Everyone needs a drink. Forget the fact that our group already ordered food and drinks.Place was weird for other reasons but that stuck out. Just be like “hey sorry we have a pretty strict bathroom policy, do you mind buying a drink first?” instead of pointing on a girl’s head and announcing to the bar she can’t pee.

Really in the cut, super nice service and a great gem to find in seaport!

I was surprised about this place, The Fish Market. I found this place online through Yelp. I initially thought that it was a restaurant, but when I showed up there with my friend, I realized that it was a bar.We went in anyway because I was really looking forward to trying the crispy fried rice with chicken. My friend was game to try anything on the menu. He had their burger with fries.The food was surprisingly very good! I thought my dish was very tasty. My friend liked his meal just fine.The atmosphere of the place was like most sports/dive bars; most patrons hanging/sitting at the bar, drinking, etc., loud music, but not enough to where you couldnt hear yourself talk, and big screen TVs showing sports and sports memorabilia on the walls finished off the spaces.Overall, my friend and I had a good time at The Fish Market. The service was good. We didnt wait long for the food, and the prices were rather affordable for the amount of food you received. I will go back there again in the future and try some of their other menu options.

Amazing find. Great food menu if you order from the correct side of the menu.

COVID era review so take out only. But wow the food didnt disappoint. We had the fish and chips and shrimp popcorn and it was perfect food for take away and eat at the seaport. Will love to come back to try the fusion food.

A fantastic dive bar. Great crowd, well priced and has that old New York feel. Don’t go if you’re easily offended or not open minded. People from all walks of life frequent this bar and it is one of my favorites.

The prices were amazing, the vibes were great, and the location is perfect. I’ll definitely be back.

Didnt eat any food went there after rooftop pier concert, great place , welcoming staff, fun place to hang out!!!!

IYKYK...Great hidden local spot...the owner is the man and it doesnt take long to find out why.

I feel like I got scammed by the 4.5 star Google review on this place. This place is a dump. As soon as you walk in, my entire group got a bad feeling. Decided not to eat as we felt like the place was unsanitary. Drinks were served in cheap plastic cups. When I went to the bathroom that unsanitary fear was realized. The smell was horrendous and I almost threw up. Please heed this warning.

My favorite place in NYC. Best food, best vibe, best bartenders. We love fishmarket!!!!!!

One of the best bars in NYC. Will be back many times.

If youre not coming here...then youre missing out. Best not only in the city, but anywhere, when it comes to staff, atmosphere, food, and prices.Thank you Adam, Alex, Jeff, and John for always being the best and providing a memorable experience!

Great experience and great food. The environment is like a bad, the opposite of fancy, but the food, the great welcoming spirit and the free whisky shots, make the entire experience simply Great!

Food is delicious, the service is fast, children friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

The food was great, Laksa (off menu) was super rich and flavorful. Fried rice also excellent as were the ginger wings. The rendang is also surprisingly good, and that’s coming from a Sydney Expat.Really pulled off the dive bar aesthetic complete with a front door that doesn’t have a door knob….hilarious.The crowd is a little ‘finance-bro-blue-collar-tourism’ but it’s the neighborhood so makes sense.Would def come back.

Decided to go with my family after briefly looking at the rating and menu. Was not expecting the gloriously sketchy dive bar vibe paired with super friendly wait staff who went out of their way to make a dish work for my mom who has some severe dietary restrictions.I had the spicy shrimp noodle soup which was really just an out standing flavor, somehow distilled the essence of a seaside dock into a soup, and then added in enough heat to clear your sinuses a little.Would love to swing by to watch some college football if I ever find my self in New York on an autumn Saturday.

Possibly the greatest dive bar in the entire city! It was packed for college football when I was there. The Jack and Coke and Jameson was flowing. The ambiance was fun, controlled chaos. And the owner, Jeff, was behind the bar making sure all were having a good time too.The Drunken Fish Soup looks great for hangovers and colds. Need to get me that again soon. Good times were had by all! Most definitely coming back again soon

Fun sports bar hidden away in seaport with delicious food.We enjoyed the ginger wings and shrimp dumplings.Staff are friendly and will give you a shot!

Loved this dive bar! Adam was a fantastic host and we had a few shots together. Mamas Fried Rice is AMAZING! I will definitely return when I visit NYC again. Getting in was hard because the door does not have a handle/knob. Find the top edge of the door to open it.

Phenomenal local dive, serving fantastic seafood and Asian fare in a super casual environment. Those who know how to get in... they know.Excellent fish soup.Excellent curry chicken.Greasy and yummy stuffed shrimp puffs and eggplants.Its heartwarming to know that these real places still exit in the exceedingly chichi FiDi.

Love this bar. Feels like a neighborhood bar and just the right kind of dive-y. Friendly staff, with Jeff behind the bar and Mama’s home-cooking in the kitchen. Wish it was closer to me, but probably better that it’s not.

The chubby Asian guy behind the bar is an angry nasty pos. Jumps to conclusions and yells at ppl just because they use the bathroom before ordering a drink/food even after explaining we were looking/meeting friends at his bar to celebrate a birthday (when they were holding the dam cake for my friend) the dummy couldn’t even connect the dots. It’s a shame because we all probably would have had a good time there considering it’s a patriot bar and they hate Biden.

Awesome spot. Great family. Delicious food.

Drag your friends. Sit yourselves down at the bar, get a beer (or two or three). Crispy fried rice + chicken curry + beef rendang. Thats it. Thats the hack.

Fat man behind the bar is on a power trip. He expects a tip for poor service while being rude to his customers, then kicks them out when they don’t tip. Only go here if you don’t have respect for yourself.

This is one of the best bars in the city, with some of the best food available. Dont believe me? Google it. The owner and bartenders treat you like family, only place in the area to get some real home made food. Love it.

Our first visit was made excellent by the wonderful attention by our waiter. We can attest that the pan-fried pork dumplings, lobster roll, garlic shrimp, and Mamas crunchy fried rice with sausage were all fabulous! We liked that it was low key atmosphere in the outdoor seating area. Thanks so much!

We paid $19 for 5 shrimps and almost no fries (at first it was only 4!! Then they brought a lone shrimp over to make up for it?). It’s simply overpriced for what they serve. The wings were good I guess

Solid spot. Owner is a solid guy and super cool. Go here!

Wonderful food, friendly service in a non descript environment. Best laksa we had in NYC and my husband loves the Jameson shots. Cheers guys 🥃

Owner here asked for ids for our entire group when it was clear we were all over 30, then handed a bucket of beers to another customer no problem. If you are gonna check id, check the policy consistent. He also suggested we leave immediately. Proceed here with caution.

The perfect mix of dive bar and quality international food. I have not found many places like this in NYC. Expect a basic drink menu, but a far from basic food menu - and a few Jameson shots!

Surprisingly good food and great service! The yummy noodles and crispy fried rice were delicious! Admittedly, some items are on the pricey side, and unfortunately they still have a limited menu.

Premise: dive bar are not my first pick but I appreciated the atmosphere for the genre.Posh (you are in NYC in the FiDi) and small dive bar, need-to-know where it is, a la speak easy, super friendly staff.Not recommended for dinner even for a diver bar :) Everything is fried: the fish tacos (and the taco is a little cardboard-y), pop-corn shrimps, mac n cheese, pork dumpling (crispy/chewy, a little rushed), and I would recommend to avoid the chicken wings - extra extra dry chicken and not that flavorful.

Wow, what a wonderful surprise. A great bar, great service, and amazing food. My friend asked if we could visit while he was visiting, and it was the best surprise Malaysian meal I have had in a long time.

Basic drinks but well prepared (no menu, just beers bottles and wells) though they often give you free shots of Jameson which is awesome. The food is phenomenal though, very good home cooked Chinese food with American spins. A dive bar youll go back to.

This place is super awesome!! The service is superb, and the food is delicious and fresh. I believe it was the owner or manager who served us, he was very personable, pleasant and even gave all of us who were dining at the time a free shot and toasted with us. We sat outside with the food being served takeout style, but man, we had fried mac and cheese balls, fish and chips, shrimp dumplings and chicken/shrimp scampi, all of it was soooo good and flavorful. When Im in town next time I will definitely be back, prices arent bad at all either!!

One of the best hidden gems in NYC. The owners are the best and will make sure you have a good time. No frills drinks and the food is incredible. Say hey to Mama in the kitchen, and you’re a fool if you don’t order off her section of the menu.

This place is a neighborhood gem. Dive bar decor, amazing Malaysian food made by the owners mom in the kitchen. The bartenders are extremely friendly and welcoming to everyone. If you are in the seaport, this place is a must. Also very affordable.Things I suggest you order1. Scallion pancakes2. Curried chicken3. Any of the soups4. Pork belly5. Bok Choy6. Fried rice with sausage7. Fish tacos8. Ginger wingsBut all of the food is amazing. Also great place to watch sports with a lively crowd. You won’t regret coming here

I knew this was a dive place so I expected the aesthetic and crowd. The service was great. The oysters are some of the worst Ive had this year. And the best dish recommended was the chicken curry. The rice was clumpy and the chicken was just so-so. Curry had a decent flavor but not enough liquid to wet the rice. I love dive places but I wont be back here.

One of my favorites in the city - a total hole in the wall place with truly excellent service and a delicious take on bar food. Recommend the crispy rice, scallion pancakes (deep fried to perfection but somehow still so light), the ginger wings (with sweet chili sauce just like you get at a Singapore hawker), the pork belly, and mama’s chicken curry (beware, she has a bite). The Jukebox gets lots of activity and adds to the atmosphere - one second country, the next it’s dashboard confessional. Don’t leave before you’ve had a shot with Jeff!

So not what I expected. Thought it was a restaurant but its actually a dive bar. The laksa and fried rice were delish! The owner was originally from Kuala Lumpur so you know his Asian dishes are legit.

Friendly, exceptional food and service! The crispy rice is a must! Jack took us under his wing to make our evening delightful! If we lived here we wd be regulars!

This is definitely a neighborhood gem!! If you are looking for a chill night, casual crowd, delicious food and free shots of Jameson, this is place! The shrimp puff is a must try! Steam lobster would be an off menu order at this time of the year. Over all, the service is excellent!

Its my hundreth visit to Fish Market and Jeff and the family extremely hospitable as theyve always been. The food? Again..glorious. Ginger Chicken Wings + Pork Belly Pot and of course.... the crispy fried rice! I mean come on.... it was a perfect meal.

Fellow yellows rejoice. This place has solid comfort food offerings albeit pretty pricey. A High Noon was $10/can - ouch. Jameo. Crispy fried rice 👌👌

Too pricey for what you get.Place is little bit creepy. Broken glass door, broken toilet door with paper plate covering the hole in the door.I read in reviews they have lobster, but they don’t. They have prawns for 25$(5$ for 1 prawn. Insane price for such place.They don’t have taps beer, only cans and bottles.If you are a tourist this is a wrong place for you. Better go in Fraunces Tavern( this place has huge history) or check out trip advisor for cheap Michelin guide restaurants(Dim Sum Go Go, Kung Fu Little Steamed Buns Ramen, etc) for about 15$ per meal.

Awesome family-run sports bar with excellent Malay/Chinese food. The most unpretentious dive bar in the seaport/fidi area. This is nowhere else quite like this. I love it.

This is what I think of when I think of a dive bar is usually what I get from my friends when I tell them to meet me here. The free Jameson shots every 3 minutes really helps lighten the mood in the place during friday happy hour (oh yeah...It gets SLAMMED by 5:45 pm) but the thing that really sets this family-owned establishment? THE FOOD!Im really surprised the Michelin guide hasnt come in to at least give these guys a recommendation for their Fried Rice (I have it every.single.time with sausage).Great place, and I look forward to visiting as long as theyll have me!

Absolutely fantastic dining experience! We ordered family style for 7 people and went with many of the server’s recommendations! Blue Point Oysters, Pork Belly Pot, Curry Chicken, Bok Choi, Ginger Wings, and most importantly the Drunken Fish Soup!!!! This is quite the hidden gem and fully worthy of the high ratings that led us here.Staff goes above and beyond to make you feel like part of the family.

Great drinks, smells like fish. The big mouth billy bass doesn’t work. Not sure if it was just poor upkeep or poor battery discipline. 3/5.

Great hole in the wall. Fun environment and great service. Brings back memories of old Manhattan 30nyears ago. Looking forward to stopping in again soon

Omg this place. Can’t stop thinking about the crispy fried rice. Excellent dive bar with quality fusion American-Asian food. Jeff & Momma are the best 🙏🏽

Fresh seafood and great drink options and be sure to order from Mamas menu and get some Chinese / Malay flavor that have you coming back again. Absolutely fantastic hosts here make you feel immediately at home while the reasonable pricing makes you fear that it might just become too popular. If you can handle a little bit of a bar noise, all friendly and joyful, then you need to dine here and youre really in for a treat.

Great spot with an unexpected complete and utter dive atmosphere. Walked by this place a few times before heading in and am glad I did. Awesome service and terrific crowd and staff with good food and limited but sufficient drink options. Stayed a bit later than expected because it was such a great time. Can’t wait to come back again.

Great low key place for dinner and drinks! It might look a little sketch from the outside, and might be a little dive-y, but don’t let that fool you because their food is delicious! We ordered bok choy, chicken wings, chicken curry, and fried rice and they were all great! My favorite was the fried rice because it was extra crispy! Another great thing about this place is that they go around serving free shots of Jameson!

Gotta be able to open the door to get in first, but after that its a great local crowd bar with good food and generous rounds of Jameson by the friendly bartenders!

Great little spot in fidi! The prices are great, the owners are amazing, and friendly customers. Me and my friends received free Jameson shots during our visit. I highly recommend you stop by and say hello!

We went there for the seafood but everything on the menu looked so good! The pork belly sandwhich, stuffed eggplant and scallion pancake was perfection!! Bonus for the rounds of jameson!! Glad I discovered this hidden gem and would definitely go back!!

Fantastic Malaysian cuisine mixed in with old school seaport seafood and tasty bar snacks. The service is impeccable and fun. Its a delight every time to visit and try something new. Make sure to get in on the shots!

Awesome little hole-in-the wall (in the best possible way). Obvious usual crowd that all know each other... or dont care if they do or not... just good ol gang. Food was great, prices were great, service was great. Not an expensive foo-foo restaurant, which I hate anyway. Just good drinks, good food and good times. Ill go back... and they will welcome me like they know me... Cool!

Nice people. Good food. It’s a place that makes my heart warm.

Been coming here for years. The food is AMAZING and the bartenders are lovely. Jeff is the owner and is definitely a character. They serve up so much complimentary Jameson that youll be doing just fine.

It’s the kind of restaurant that looks like “food poisoning”, but when you trespass your fears and eat, you’re 🤩

Love this place!!! The service is just amazing, they give you free whiskey shots. The fried rice is incredible and the popcorn chicken as well. Love it

Great place. Been going here for years. I left NYC during Covid but always stop in here when in town. Only bad point is that it’s one of my ex girlfriend’s favorite places😝

I love this place, but I am reluctant to share why, lest I blow up my spot. Im so glad it has survived the pandemic thus far, as this is a special slide of New York Citys culture and history, and I hope we can hold on to it for a long, long time.(Disclosure, I copied and pasted this from another review site, and these words are my own.)

Most friendly bartenders in all of lower Manhattan in my opinion. Really down to earth place where you can be yourself and have a few drinks with friends after work. You can play your own songs, it’s easier here to talk to other bar patrons, and the place has a good vibe.

Went here with my wife one evening while we were visiting some family in the city last week. Incredible night. The owner was very hospitable and made us feel right at home. Food is great and so is the atmosphere. We will be back

Don’t come here this place sucks! The owner that wears the stupid hat is a pathetic loser who will ruin your night :(( Honestly though I feel bad for him, he’s miserable because it must suck to be the ugliest and most disgusting creature to ever walk this earth

Can I say the worst experience ever ?!!!!Walked in shortly after it opened and as soon as we came were told we only had a certain amount of time to eat because they were going to need the table. We were told to sit in a certain spot and could not change our seats . However everyone who walked in after us were given the option to sit where they wanted. My mom and I looked at one another in shock, the racist undertones of this place are frightening.I wont begin to talk about the filthy bathroom and general appearance that contradicted the price of the food at every turn. The waitress was very rude and clearly did not want to serve two Africans American women as we watched her and the owner interact with everyone else ( not black of course). This was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had , I left feeling robbed because the food was average and devalued as a human being. Just a shame .

Fish focused dive bar and proud of it, it’s a party vibe w/ shots floating around. Thanks for a great time!

April 2022 update:This place has not changed: still no doorknob, glass still broken, still popping, and Adam, Jeff and John and are still there to give out shots.What has changed: menu are much slimmed down now, my favorite seabass is no longer due to surg of covid prices. They apparently opened #2 place in LES, gotta check it out soon (Or not, cuz Im old and get massive hungover now.)Fish market is my favorite bar, honestly. Its almost like a hole in the wall kind of place but I have a great time here every time. The door glass is cracked and the doornob is missing, makes it hard to notice or even enter from the outside (almost feels like a speakeasy). Adam and Jeff are the owners and they are super friendly, give out FREE SHOTS constantly. Food here is great. Mama in the back makes amazing Chinese/American food. My favorite is the Bone-in Seabass with bokchoy. OMG its worth every penny. The drinks are strong and huge from a 16 oz plastic cup, for cheap! They have a big screen TV to show sports and a Nintendo NES for you and your buddy to play if youre into videogames. And its right across the street from South Street Seaport so after coming here, you can hang out at the seaport and take pictures with the awesome scenery. I love this place.

This spot will not dissapoint if you are going with a group of fiends to have drinks and some appetizers. Gem in downtown one of the few real places left like these.

Best bar in the city.

Great people, great Malaysian food. Nothing fancy and have fun opening the door. (Hint grab the top left corner)

If my wife and I could go back in time and get married here we would. Food is amazing, mama is a boss, andAdam and Jeff are amazing!.

New favorite place in NYC. Drunken fish soup, pork belly pot, stuffed eggplant, strong drinks, some free Jamesons, neighborhood dive bar where the generous welcome makes you feel like youve been going there for years and makes it highly likely you will return.

Amazing after work spot in the heart of the seaport! Jeff and the family are some of the most hospitable owners in the 5 boroughs. Expect free Jameson’s shots from the man himself, and quality Asian fusion food from Mom in the kitchen. Take the people you you’ll never forget for a night you may not remember. And even if it’s not to your taste, you’re still in NYC’s hidden gem, the beautiful South Street Seaport.

Best bar in NYC, even when mama isnt in the kitchen.Chicken curry and crunchy fried rice.Worth the commute from Australia!

The crowd has made them go over their heads. Being rude to customers & having 0 communication between their staffs, 2 saying different things, and shouting and having attitude when we follow instructions. Namely the dude in the picture. #NameandShame

This place was buzzing on a tuesday night that it was hard to even a get spot on the bar. However the bartender was super nice to me and my friend and promised they would serve us food despite the amount of people who were getting dinner. The salmon was to die for and my really enjoyed her lobster and the customers at the bar were occasionally served shots of whiskey. It is a bit of a hole in the wall but a true gem and i will be definitely going here again.

Ive only ever come here for drinks after dinner hours, but for that this place is a ton of fun. Good prices, good music, fun bartenders. Get a group and come enjoy the hell out of your night here.

One of the best places in nyc - absolutely fantastic food, great drinks, impeccable service - get the ginger wings and a large bok choy with a couple of beers and you cannot go wrong - great prices, friendliest owners around that deserve all the success - this is how you run a bar / restaurant in nyc!!!

This place is the ducks nuts! Doesnt look like much from the outside, but if you dont go in, youre missing out. The staff here are the best, super friendly and engaging, dishing out free shots at will. The food is also top shelf, all in all its a really great place to go.

The food on mamas menu stands erect, like the spine of man.

One of my favorite bars in the city. Jeff makes it a great time, the food is amazing, and the crowd is fun.

I came here for a large group event. After a random order for vodka sodas and beers was placed, I decided to open my own tab, as this seemed like the place where the only way I could have fun was if I was drunk. Upon trying to place my order and open my own tab I was not only personally ridiculed by the overweight bartender, but he announced to my table that I had tried to open a new tab and that new tabs would not be accepted because “we can venmo each other because technology”. Excuse me but technology not only allows for venmo, but for advanced POS systems that can accommodate multiple tabs. Will never return.

What a random but great find. It’s a divey sports bar but also a Malaysian restaurant. Staff were great - so friendly and handing out Jameson shots.We enjoyed the fried chicken (so crunchy) and the Sambal cod special

Great hidden bar. They make you feel like a local. Its like cheers, they know my name!🤣

Don’t be confused by the door. The food is phenomenal and the staff are friendly, genuine, and hilarious. I love this bar.

Great food and staff! The free J-mo shots were awesome! I ordered the stuffed cod with mash potatoes which was very tasty but I don’t think the mash potatoes were real which was a bummer. However, the lobster special and ginger wings were both excellent!

Family friendly environment.. I LOVE IT

Incredible food. The pork belly was to die for and the crunchy rice was perfect. Also the staff are super friendly - one of my favorite places in Manhattan.

Great atmosphere, lovely owners. Even my mother loved this place.

Alcohol and food is amazing.They have the best owners.All colors friendly.Please please please come.

Amazing food and great drinks. Owner is awesome and has a habit of getting the customers to take shots of Jamison. Lots of shots of Jamison.

Great drink prices, welcoming owners, and the food is amazing. Homemade dumplings and fried rice are my favorites. Also great wings and tacos!

Their crispy chicken is epic

This place was very loud. The owners should really do something about the acoustics. It could also use a little fixing up. The staff was very nice, but the food was mixed - some of the Asian inspired food was good, but the seafood was only decent, but very overpriced for what it was.

Actually pretty disappointed. Love dives. And servers were nice. Bar crowd is very odd. Part irritating and part obnoxious. Not that much fun. Food is fair. Hardly fish market food.

Hole in the wall but great food and awesome atmosphere! Loved the fried rice and scallion pancakes. Very authentic Chinese/Malaysian food.

Cool spot for food! Never knew there was a restaurant here! Its pretty hidden behind a cracked glass door (I would totally just walk pass it if my friend didnt stop me!) the food was surprisingly good, especially in an area where there arent that many options close by. Check it out if youre near south street seaport/near pier 16 or 17! seats are limited at the back but do go and try your chance.Its an interesting place for Asian food, bar is pretty loud here but the foods good! They dont have a lot of seats, maybe 8 tables or so for the food area. mama noodle in the picture tastes good! Ginger wings were just ok. My friend and I also shared a curry pot which was ok too.

My home away from home. If you do anything while in NYC, visit Fish Market

Wonderful food!!!Thanks for everything youve done to support the NYC SEA Paddle (an event held by the Surfers Environmental Alliance) that supports autism and the environment.

The owner of the bar had his staff beat me up and throw me on the street 5 minutes after i walked in. Im not sure why. likely a racial issue - i am dark skinned. Dont go here if you wish to remain safe

Fish market quite possibly is the perfect bar, the staff is fun, the drinks are cheap, the food is great, and its really hard to find and get in which makes only those who know its there have more.....

Rude disrespectful disgusting workers

My new favorite place in the city! Although you have to know how to open the open to this hole in the wall gem, you are in for an amazing surprise! The most delicious food, the most friendly service and music! I will definitely be back 👍

Would not even let us order, one person was 22 and their I’d wasn’t accepted.Seriously, place was disgusting anyway

People probably frequent this place to take advantage of the affordable drinks and frequent shots of Jamo but those in the know understand that the star of the market is mama, whose kitchen whips up some magical curry chicken, crispy fried rice, and chicken wings

This place is so nice and homey. The food is absolutely delicious and you can tell its made with love. The noodle dishes and ginger fried chicken are refreshing and truly so well made.

Great local dive bar with amazing food - get the fish soup, ginger chicken wings, and crispy fried rice. Bartender is super friendly and expect to drink lots of whiskey with everyone

Great food and the lobster special is awesome! The owners walk around giving shots!

When I first walked in I thought I went to the wrong place. If you visit youll know what I mean. That said, the food was great! I had the curry and I wasnt disappointed

This is a watering hole, with friendly faces, easy laid back atmosphere, some patio furniture and good vibes. Choose your poison carefully.

Genuine atmosphere, lovely bartenders, dog friendly, great location off the Seaport, highly recommend

The food is consistently fresh and tasty, cashiers provides awesome service. I love how clean it is and mood. I highly recommend this place.

Delicious foods!

Hard to find a quality place that also charges you fair prices. both the Asian-style and seafood-based dishes are amazing. Will return often

I don’t know about the drinks, but the food is soooo good, definitely coming back for more!!!!

By far the best hidden gem in New York.

My favorite dive bar! Jeffs mom runs the kitchen and Jeff is a convivial host! Love the drunken fish soup and complimentary Jamesons!

Cheerful and mostly like a bar looking environment, with loudly talking clients. If you can stand this atmosphere, the seafood and mostly oysters and clams are excellent and very reasonably priced. They also make offers to the beers, if buy them by the bucket. Its location is very easy to find, is by the Brooklyn bridge.

I came upon this interesting place after walking out of what, used to be, one of my favorite places in Little Italy which, unfortunately, is now an extremely crowded, noisy and overprice tourist trap. I left Little Italy very HANGRY and decided to seek out seafood and found the Fishmarket on a Google search. The reviews looked good so I decided to have Uber bring us here. Upon arriving, I thought we were dropped off at the wrong location because, although there is a sign out front, the outside of the restaurant appeared dingy and closed down. There was a couple outside smoking cigarettes so I walked up to the door (Cracked Glass and all - with No Door Handle) and tried to wedge my way in. One of the guys out front showed me the trick to get it open and held it for us. As soon as we stepped in the door we saw that the place was ridiculously loud and packed and, due to the crowd, we didnt see any tables. We looked at each other and, with the last incident fresh in our minds, we decided to vacate quickly and walked right back outside. When exiting, the guy outside asked us why we werent staying saying that the food is awesome and that there were tables available in the back. He pried the door open again, walked us in and motioned to the bartender to hook us up. I thanked him and the bartender (an Asian dude wearing a Mets jersey - who, by the way, is a true professional) noticed I was edgy and asked me what I liked to drink. I told him that we were here to eat and he said I know that. What would you like to drink? Beer? Scotch? Tequilla? I definitely needed something alcoholic by now and asked him to get me a local craft beer, which he did. He wedged us through the crowd to the tables in the back and hooked us up with a table in the corner with plenty of room. As I was quickly swigging down my beer trying to relax, another, more polished, Asian dude (who I later found out is the bartenders brother) came over to the table with a magnum of Jameson and said have a shot with me. He poured us a shot and drank it with us and moved on to the next table and, I must say, my hangry mood started to change and I was beginning to feel happy. Mama (an older Asian lady - the bartender and hosts mother) came out of the kitchen and handed us menus which had a very good and unique amount of menu items (Mamas Specialties (curries, seafood, etc.), Italian, Shellfish, and more - all at great prices for Manhattan! We started with steamed clams (butter, wine and cilantro - amazing!), raw oysters, fried calamari (crispy, tender - better than Little Italy) and awesome bread to dip into the clam juice! After our appetizers (and, yes, a couple of more shots of Jameson with our host), we chose two dishes off of Mamas Specialties - Spicy Shrimp Green Beans and Shrimp Curry - and, as the guy out front promised, they were delicious! By this time the crowd was so loud that my ears were ringing as they were singing along to the songs on the jukebox and, best of all, I didnt care! I was enjoying the vibe and feeling content. This awesome family turned what wouldve been a miserable night into a fabulous evening! I highly recommend visiting this awesome place through the broken door with no handle and having an enjoyable time!!

Denied my completely real vertical ID (I am 24 years old). Super sick!

Absolutely amazing wish I could give 6 or 7 stars. Best restaurant I have been to in a long long time. Just say yes to this amazing place

The door is hilarious. The food and atmosphere is relaxed and awesome. I really really liked this place. I can’t wait to go back when I’m more hungry cause seriously the food was amazing!

Really good Malaysian/Chinese menu, good liquor selection for most mixed drinks, great staff!

Amazing authentic food, always a good vibe !

This is a very nice place! The personnel is friendly and helpful. The moment you get inside you feel like you are a part of this tiny chaotic world. Wish I’ve found you earlier!

Great food fun staff

Nice people, solid fish sandwich and tacos, staff walk around and do shots. Great spot very casual

Truly a legendary NYC hidden gem. Love this place. Open late night

Dive bar. Great Malaysian food. Mama Lim is a beast in the kitchen and a culinary genius. It ain’t for everyone but they don’t care.

Such great food, try the pork belly and fish soup 🥘. Unpretentious and super nice atmosphere. Loved it

This restaurant can be hard to notice from the outside. The staff and owners are friendly. I ordered their curry chicken which was quite tasty and comes with a small bowl of rice. The owner came around and offered free shots to anyone who wanted. A friendly environment with good food, would recommend.

Fun hole-in-the-wall spot with great food and drinks. Lovely environment and welcoming staff.

Incredible. From out of town, small place that didnt look like much. Incredible staff and the food was out of this world. Highly recommended

Food is amazing. Jeff is great. Prices are good. Bartenders are friendly. Been there many times.

I love this place!friendly staff,and the fried rice is delicious

Always a fun stop.

Would not return. Food really subpar. Drinks low quality tables and restroom dirty. Please do not believe food reviews Cheaper drinks great for young crowd loud and crazy

Great bar. Free shots. I love it

Jeff is the man and the food is made with love as food used to be made. Im a picky mofo about what I put into my meat shield and this is one of my favorite places on the island.

Place is crazy. That pork belly and crispy fried rice. Every time we go to New York. We make a trip to this place.

Local place, generous portions, good food

When You come to Fish market You may arrive as a stranger but Youll leave as one of the family. The vibe here is always friendly and good timey. The kitchen helmed by Mama, cooks up Malaysian specialties. Dont forget to snag an order of the Gingered Chicken wings which are addictive and a perfect accompaniment to a nice cold brew. There is also a separate menu available of standard American fare for the less adventurous folk .Weekends the place can get really crowded but there is also some outdoor seating available now. Proprieter Jeff roams around and keeps everything running smoothly and will gladly share a nightcap or two of Jamesons with You.

This place surprised me.. the drinks are drinks but oh man the fooddd... Ordered the Beef Rendang, Crispy Fried Rice,Stuffed Eggplant and Ginger Wings. So delicious! It is very dive-y and so hard to get a table but Ill definitely go back for the food!

Unexpectedly cool place. Definitely we will come back. Good fish. They offer shots.

Best food and atmosphere in NYC.Great place.

I thought this is very nice place to have Fish, shrimp or lobster... It is very low key. Not very impressive at the first sight... The service is slow... The owner is crazy or always drunk... They never give receipt for the service... they charge prices that there are different from the menu... sketchy place... Not very clean...I do not recommend... Not sure, maybe they take fish from Hudson River... Please do not go there...

One of the best places in Manhattan. A destination to see. It ain’t fancy, but it’s impossible not to have fun.

Is one of the best places i’ve ever visited in my life, staff is awesome, remember, Drunk fish soup delicious

They have an amazing lobster special on mondays and wednesday. Looks like a dive bar but the food is really tasty!!!

Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Great space, food, drinks and prices. 5 stars!

Food was outstanding and great service! Definitely recommend if youre in Fidi

Great crowd, great drinks, great food. A place you where you can kick back and relax.

Its great

Great bartenders and great service. Dont take my word just show up 🤷‍♂️

Best Malaysian food this side of the Atlantic! Get one of every appetizer and thank me later.

Great vibes and food! The place is a little beat down but it definitely adds to its character

You can have a great time and celabrate with a Asian fusion and American food. Recommend ribs and BBQ.

Amazing dive spot. Chinese food is actually really good. Crispy fried rice was the truth!!

In my opinion: my experience with this place gets worse by the visit. I remember the food being delicious the very first time I went and I have been bringing my friends to the place but unfortunately have not been able to get a table since then. I was once told they had no more table seatings even though a group of 5+ customers were leaving their table. Some bartenders should pretend better that they enjoy working there lol. If you appear young, expect a negative demeanor.

Great atmosphere. Owners are amazing and a lot of fun.

Great dive bar, wish I had of came hungry as the food looks great. It was my birthday and they really took care of us. Great juke box also!

Atmosphere was nice. Food could have been better. I believe I was served an old salmon.

Walked in and out within a minute. Horrible attitude and service. Rudest people alive. Do not recommend!

Awesome place for food and drinks. Great vibes. Family owned.

Have to get rid of their archaic policies … I guarantee no one underage is looking to go out in FiDi so not accepting vertical IDs is pointless

Great dive bar with excellent food, can’t go wrong having a night here

If only all dive bars could be this awesome. maybe its not a dive bar but the service is what i want from all my easy going bars

Awesome place to spend some time when on seaport.

Wait staff were interactive and friendly. Food was excellent. Absolutely enjoyed.

What a nice little nook! Great place to meet up for a quick cocktail and bite to eat. Prices are fair, good atmosphere and even better service.

Food and service was impeccable! Great hole-in-the-wall! Definitely recommend!

The place was very nice, the fish and chicken wings were very delicious, the drinks too, the place was quite hygienic but the tables were a little dirty, they serve you very well and they dont take long with the food, it only took about 4 minutes to deliver it to me , the truth is very good. 😁

Great dive bar with awesome people working here

Super packed tonight but the food gits everytime

Get the lobster! Accept shots from the guys that run the place! Fried rice, bok choy, its all great.

Excellent neighborhood spot delicious Asian Seafood Pub Fare on Water Street / Fulton St/Pier 17

5 stars for the drinks and food, 1 star for the blue lives matter flag.
