Very intimate venue, great food! One of a kind in York

Lovely meal, great service. Nice to find somewhere that give the choice of how you want your fish cooked(fried, poached or grilled) and a choice of chips or potatoes.

Friendly service and gorgeous food would definitely recommend.

Amazing atmosphere, great cocktails and tasty food! Will definitely be back. Thank you x

Great food and good service! The team are always very welcoming too! Very lucky to have a good pub with good food on the doorstep!!!

This restaurant never fails to deliver, quality food, expertly prepared and presented by courteous friendly staff. The investment in the restaurant design, gives a real feeling of eating Chinese Food in China, and the prices are reasonable. Thank you Maxis for another lovely evening.

Excellent food. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Lovely ambience.

Great Food that was fresh and really tasty. If you have a shellfish allergy they will try to accommodate your request which is amazing as most restaurants in Whitby don't anymore. Also book in advance as they are fully booked even in the winter season. Highly Recommend a visit to this restaurant.

5/5 Lunchtime special amazing , visited often never disappointed. Genuine Chinese decor, good staff. Will return again and again.

Thoroughly enjoyed cod and chip supper 2 November. Returned next night to try the curried prawns - delicious. Lo Nice venue, and excellent staff.

Great pub and fantastic food.....Best in the area by far !!

Thought we would just drop in, Monday early evening etc. but wow so glad we booked! The restaurant was heaving with diners. Service, menu choice and wine list were outstanding. From traditional fish and chips to oysters or lobster a feast awaits. It’s fame is fully deserved don’t accept a cheap imitation.

Return visit after two years away due to Covid. Enjoyable food with prompt service and attentive staff. The only negative point for me is the lack of low/zero alcohol drinks available. As I was driving, I would have appreciated my needs being reflected in the drinks available. For me, sweet soft drinks are not suitable for a meal. More and more people are looking for low/zero alcohol options for health and for safety. I feel that Sambuca needs to move with the times on this issue. Also, as nice as the parting gift of a tot of Sambuca liqueur is, I was unable to enjoy it as it is a strong alcoholic drink. At home it would be lovely, but not if driving.

We had a fabulous meal - midweek for my lad's 12th birthday. We clicked off with creamy oysters that tasted of the sea. Then a seafood pot - wow, monkfish - yum and haddock and chips for the birthday boy. Proper seafood, well cooked, proper portions in wonderful Whitby - what's not to like?

Disappointing. This place is on our doorstep so I really wanted to love it - but it just didn’t deliver. Inattentive bar staff upon entry - despite the place being very quiet. - felt like we were intruding. Not great for front of house! Early bird menu - very limited & still not all options available. Went for fish for main course & was full of bones but in fairness, this was corrected immediately & another fish prepared. Food ok but nothing special/ we were there during Teesside restaurant week but at normal prices I’d have thought it not worth the money - and the a la carte menu looked expensive but also very limited in choice. Just something missing with the atmosphere. You get the feeling the place doesn’t really know what it is, but just doesn’t really work. It’s not dress up or dress down. Not fancy or casual. Would maybe work better as a bar rather than restaurant - beer & gourmet burger bar maybe? Whatever … I won’t be going back in a hurry or recommending to anyone. A real lost opportunity for what could be a lovely venue in a great spot.

Me and my family have been coming to Fuji Hiro for YEARS, easily 15 years. I do miss the old faces but the new changes are welcome - the new additions to the menu are great, the sushi, fried chicken and steamed buns are an absolute treat but nothing will beat the best Gyoza I’ve ever had. I constantly tell people to visit Fuji hiro which I now regret as I tried to visit on a Wednesday and they were fully booked and when I went this Wednesday; I booked and it was extremely busy but staff were good even under the pressure. It is worth the wait and I can’t sing their praises enough.
