How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.

B2J's fish sauerkraut soup is just A++++. You need to try this! They use live fish and the fish meat is so smooth and silky. 😍 The service was also so prompt and so friendly. Lumira was our server today and she was fantastic!

The sauerkraut fish was very authentic, and the service was excellent, but the queue was very long, so be prepared to wait for an hour.

the chubby lady with a glasses was rude and unbelievable. she asked us to take my 3 years old outside just because she started to be acting up and cry instead of offering any help. I was like, come on, she's just a kid.

Used to be good, but today's fish has so many bones.
1★ · 2026-09-12
We used to recommend to friends but today is our last time. It was so salty with 8 pieces of fish and 8 pieces of meet. Probably half of the quantity as before. Very disappointed.

I've always had their signature pickled cabbage fish, but this time I tried the spicy fish, and it was fantastic! The soup also had pickled cabbage in it, and the flavor was authentic.
