We were craving comforting fish soup with big portions, so we went to Fish With You 鱼你在一起 at Crystal Mall on a Saturday afternoon. It turned out to be a great choice because the servings are really generous. What we ordered: * Hot Onion Boiled Fish with Pickled Cabbage (spicy): Tangy, spicy, and addictive with a bold kick. * Royal Tomato Fish (non-spicy): Light, slightly sweet, and comforting. This is perfect if you want something mild. * Deep Fried Squid: Crispy, savoury, and a great snack to share with friends. * Passion Fruit Tea: Refreshing, fruity, and my favourite drink here. * Classical Milk Tea: Smooth, creamy, and a nice way to balance out the meal. Overall, we had a satisfying meal. It's a great spot for a filling, shareable meal, especially if you're with a group and want some variety. Food: 5/5 Should Try! Service: 5/5 Kids: 4/5 Yay! They have a non-spicy flavour. Price: $20-$30 per person Presentation: 2/5 Parking: 3/5 Free parking is available inside Crystal Mall, but it can be challenging on weekends since it's one of the most popular Asian malls in Burnaby. You can also use metered parking just outside the entrance for convenience. The restaurant is street-facing, so you can enter directly from the sidewalk. Tips: * Order small portions if you want two add-ons, or go for large portions if you want four add-ons. * Unlimited premium rice (white or brown) at no extra cost. * Can accommodate larger groups. * Accepts cash, debit, credit (possible surcharge), and WeChat Pay. read more

Came here with friends on a Saturday night for dinner and thr place was pretty full. There were two groups waiting ahead of us so we left a number for them to call, but didn't need to wait long before tables opened up. The interior feels similar to a food-court style rather than a restaurant. The menus are on a huge laminated piece of paper. The selection is pretty good and they have beef dishes alongside the fish ones, as well as fried meat stripe. There are non-spicy to very spicy options, so it wasn't terrible finding something that fits everyone's spice level. We got 2 large soups to share between 5 people and it was sufficient. The restaurant has free rice refills, which is great. We got the less spicy beef slices option and the sour fish. Each of the large options allow for 4 selectable toppings, such as additional vegetables, enoki, vermicelli, black fungus, bean curd, etc. Everything tasted great! My friends are not a fan of spice so we got the dishes, but I really want to try the spices options next time. Service was okay - the place has QR menus to order with but they were nice enough to let us order in person instead. Food comes very quickly (although the bowls for the fish soup are shallower than they first appear). There are not alot of wait staff so sometimes we have to wait awhile before one is available, but they are very attentive when they do come around. read more

It was the first time visiting this restaurant for me and i have heard great reviews about it. we ordered 2 different types of broth base, Laotan snakehead fish and Green pepper basa. Flavor wise, both were very good and flavorful and fish were nicely cooked. However I found the green pepper soup base to be very salty to my preference. But flavor was there. But i did enjoy the fish in the soup which went very well with the rice noodles and rice. I might go back to try another soup though and s read more

This chinese style restaurant is really good. The fish feels so soft and tender and goes well with the soup.

Caught the end of their 15% promotion but $30 for 2 people is already quite cheap. $30 for basa filet, $38 for snakehead fish or beef. The place was full and there were 2 servers but one was quite busy doing all the drinks and the till so server was a bit tough to flag down. They apologized for forgetting about us and gave us complimentary milk tea. It was not bad. We got the green sichuan peppercorn soup and it was so good. Perfect amount of numbing for me. The only thing I wish they can do better is have equal amount of add ons. There was so much bean curd skin but so little siu choy. The rice is also quite overcooked so they should add less water. It's nice to have an option of multigrain rice. Price point is good and I would definitely come agaib. read more

Saturday January 4th 2025 @ 12:30 noon. Ordered the *RECOMMENDED * #H Hot Onion Boiled Fish w/ Pickled Cabbage fixed dish (招牌热炮酸菜鱼) and I absolutely loved it!!!!! The first 20 minutes of tasting the soup WILL BE SEARING HOT (and hard to enjoy) but afterwards the flavour truly shines through. Plus the unlimited rice bowl refills. So when you scoop a half-spoonful of rice and dig into that soup, each bite fills you up with warm umami heaven Even for a SMALL portion, there was enough food for 2 full adults. Snakehead fish was buttery-smooth to the mouth, and they put in a generous amount of protein. Price for what I got was definitely worth it. I also ordered the Milk Tea $4.95 but the price wasn't worth it but it was nice n cold. Service was fast, helpful, and consistent. Interior was friendly-looking and bright! Overall, I highly HIGHLY *RECOMMEND* Fish With You I would absolutely come back and I'm already thinking of trying another soup base. / FIVE STARS. read more

I went here for a lunch few weeks ago. I've never tried hot and sour fish so I was excited to try this place. We ordered large size of Hot Onion Boiled Fish with Veggies ($37.95) with 4 toppings. I only saw 2 toppings for large sized pot which were broccoli and sweet potato vermicelli. It was strange as the menu clearly said 4 toppings can be added for large and 2 toppings for small. Soup was nicely seasoned, but it was too greasy. Food was good. Portion was big enough for us as well. I had to give 2 stars because staff only added 2 toppings for our food. Price was overly priced as well. I can easily buy a frozen kit from T&T or Price Smart to make one for myself instead of paying $40 for this. read more

My friend and I came here on a weekend for an early dinner and I got the Laotan Boiled Fish with Pickled Cabbage (toppings: sliced celtuce and sweet potato vermicelli) combo which came with a popcorn chicken and iced lemon tea. It was a lot of food for one person and I had some leftovers to take home with me. They let you have unlimited refills on the rice when you dine in and they also sell bags of their rice if you are inclined to buy it. The service was alright. I found a piece of hair in the popcorn chicken and they immediately offered to give me another plate or switch to the crispy pork. They have small tables for 4 to 6 individuals and a larger table in the middle of the restaurant for sharing or for large parties. The restaurant is very well lit and the orange theme is quite vibrant. read more

Visited this place many times since they opened in 2023 and it's not until they roll out their recent anniversary promotion this June that I realize they've opened for over a year. They are deserving of 5 stars for their consistent soup flavors, efficient service and good value. We have ordered their non-spicy tomato broth plus other spicy specialties broth and I enjoyed both soup base. The spicy version was quite spicy for me in the beginning but over time, it grows on my palate. It really hits the spot and was extra comforting on those cold rainy days. It's easy to order...kinda like a simplified hot pot meal. You choose your preferred soup base and choice of meat then select 4 toppings to include in the pot. Voila, your meal is ready and comes with unlimited rice refills, which is one of their selling point, offering good value and a guarantee that you will not leave hungry. My favorite topping is their sweet potato vermicelli and for the meat option, we usually stick to ordering the fish (墨魚). I posted the receipt as i find it amusing that it translates as snakehead fish on receipt; to me, it tastes like cod and has cod fish texture. There are also group sharing combo menu options such as meal for two which includes 2 drinks and choice of more cooked food items. Menu has many appetizer or other cooked items such as fries that you can add to your meal. Free parking is available inside Crystal Mall or you can pull up to the metered parking spots just outside its entrance for convenience. If you live or work close to Crystal Mall or plan to frequent the place often, you can also purchase a VIP cash card for $200, $300 or $500 for further discounts. read more

This vibrant spot is a great place for reasonably priced meal deals with hefty portions. I only got size small soups and they were so filling with good amounts of protein and veggies. The broths I tried were so tasty, surpassing my expectations. The soups come with a choice of two sides, popcorn chicken or pork, a lemon tea, and unlimited rice! Recommendations: *Princess tomato sliced beef with lettuce + bean curd (this is the best tomato broth I've ever tried!!) *Laotan sauerkraut fish small basafish with enoki mushroom + baby cabbage *Takoyaki *Durian ball read more

Yum! Located on the side of crystal mall, this restaurant was nice and bright. Highly recommend the top 1 best seller, the large laotan snakehead fish ($37.95). The large can be shared between two people and you can pick 4 side dishes to be added. With dine in, you also get unlimited rice! The snakehead has a really good texture and better than basa. We also got the tomato sauce one too, and it's quite nice but we enjoyed the classic spicy sauerkraut one more. For dessert, the deep fried durian balls were really delicious. read more

First time at fish with you I got to try their super value for two such a good deal and lots of food! It's free unlimited rice and we decided to get sliced beef with their pickled cabbage and chilli soup base I love the sour and pickled veggies and choosing 4 toppings for the large portion I got bean curd, tofu, black fungus, and crystal vermicelli. The extra toppings were so filling and they did not hold back! I got crispy popcorn chicken for the side and orange fruit tea and milk tea for drinks. This place does not disappoint, the portion is huge and it's all about sharing and caring, family style eating from one big pot and some rice. I love dipping the rice into the soup although a big oily it's so good and gives the rice some flavour. I'm definitely coming back and wanna fish again and try their basa fish or snakehead and have puffy fishy lips from this deliciousness read more

Looks like the latest entrant for the whole AYCE empty carb trend that is trending these days. This restaurant is the 2nd location (original is in NYC) and features AYCE white rice. Yes. Rice. This place opened April 2023. Parking is available in the Crystal Mall underground lot. The restaurant faces Willingdon (W side of the mall, on the exterior), about halfway down the mall. Took me a while to find this place. Pro tip - there's a small exit to Willingdon from the inside of the mall, right next to this place. The interior is white and bright orange. Nice and cheerful. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is honestly a bit on the pricey side. As of the time of writing, dishes start at $18 or so. The one thing I really didn't like though is that the bowl sizes are misleading. They are wide, but very shallow. See photo for reference. I'm not sure the soup was even 3cm deep. Knock 1 star off. Because of the shallowness of the dishes, my buddy and I ended up loading up on white rice. There wasn't even enough soup to cover the refills. I can feel immense sadness writing this review. With that said, the wall of rice cookers is pretty impressive. I don't think I've eaten this much rice in one setting in years. The rice is all self serve, with communal paddles. Something to keep in mind. Thank goodness the pandemic is somewhat over. As for the taste, the soup has a nice heat from the peppers. The spice isn't the type that melts one's face off. To be honest, I have trouble justifying a return visit. I can get more soup and food for 40% less money at Yunshang in the same mall. Oh well. Off the bucket list. read more

counter-service chinese fish hotpot/soup place. Theres a couple locations here, I believe it may be a chain from China? Anyway, you get seated, then order on your phone via QR code. They bring the food to you. When you're finished, pay at the counter. There is a 2% surcharge for credit card. Avoid it with cash or debit. I didnt see this written anywhere but the guy told me when I asked to pay with credit card. They basically serve a variety of chinese fish soups, mostly spicy/numbing ones. I had the green chili version which was extra numbing. Some soups give you a choice of ingredients in it. Theres also a number of side dish options, and drink options. I got the combo for 2. You get a large portion of the soup, one side, 2 drinks. You always get unlimited white rice with the fish soups. Total $52 or so plus tax and tip. Its plenty of food for 2. And the soup is pretty good, intensely flavoured, tender fish slices. Service is relatively quick and friendly. This is not fine dining in any way, so I don't expect much. This is for a quick casual meal. Its in the Crystal Mall, so plenty of free underground parking. But its one of the street-facing stores so you need to enter from the sidewalk. read more

I'm always amazed how many different unique Chinese cuisines are branching over to the western world. Fish With You is no exception. Serving Sauerkraut Fish stew, seems to be the newest trend on the west coast. The restaurant is located in Crystal Mall, but the entrance into it is outside the mall. The interior is bright and clean. Once you're seated they have a QR code on the tables to order from. But they also have plastic menus if you have questions or rather have someone to take your order. There are 4 main soup/strew bases to choose from: Green Pepper, Hot Onion Oil, Princess Tomato and Laotan. You can have it with either Snake Head Fish or Basa. You also get to choose 2 items to go along inside your strew such as; tofu, enoki mushroom, sweet potato noodles, broccoli, wood ear mushrooms, baby choy or lettuce. Not into fish? No worries. They also have a small selection of Beef Stews. And if that is not in your wheel house then chick out the snacks like the popcorn chicken, fried tofu bites, shredded potato salad, deep fried buns with condensed milk or the glutenous rice cake with brown sugar. One of the drawing features is the fact that you can ask for more rice. Yes, its UNLIMITED rice! Whether you're by yourself or with a family, they order a set that fits your appetite and budget best. Smaller portions will run you about $17.95 where a larger portion will cost $29.95. Honestly its a lot of food. But if you're looking for variety do get the Combo for 2 ($49.95). It comes with either popcorn chicken or fried pork, 2 drinks and unlimited rice. This combo could easily feed 3-4 people pending on how hungry you are. My fam and I ordered 2 of the Combo for 2, with both the fried pork and popcorn chicken (both excellent by the way), with the Princess Tomato soup and the Hot Onion Oil Snake Head. We got to try all the drinks: Wheat Flavoured Milk Tea, Iced Lemon Tea, Orange Fruit Tea and the Passion Fruit tea. All of them were great and refreshing. Out of the two stew we got my preference was the Hot Onion Oil. The flavour was great and over rice it was the perfect combo. The fish slices were thin and tender with no bones (bonus!). But be warned that they do put that wonderful numbing spice in it. If you're not a fan just be mindful and don't be surprised if your tongue feels weird. Overall the meal was great and we got leftovers! If your looking for something new definitely want to be full come check out Fish With You 鱼你在一起 ! read more

Love this place! Great value, yummy flavours. I went on a Saturday around 11am, only 2 other tables there. Spacious and clean interior, I like the bright orange and grey scheme. The rice is UNLIMITED AND FREE (self serve), but the waiters were very attentive and got us rice, and refilled our tea. If there's a little wooden fish on top of the rice cooker, it means it's still cooking so don't use these ones. The free tea is quite good too. Located on the outside of Crystal Mall (it's not in the food court). Got a small 'Laotan Snakehead Fish' soup ($21.95) for lunch to share between mum and I. It comes with two toppings, and I picked black woodear mushroom and enoki mushrooms (some other options are beancurd sheets cabbage, tofu, vermicelli, broccoli and lettuce). Spice level was one spicy chili on the menu, and it had a strong kick. I think this was the sweet spot for me, and I can't do any spicier (for reference I love shin ramen, it's perfect, and I can eat a tad spicier than that too). It had up to 4 spicy chili indictors, and I think I'd start crying at that point. It's topped with peppercorn Pretty impressed with the portions, lots of soup, with very fragrant oil & chilies on top. Large chunks of tender fish, and loads of sauerkraut. Good portion of the toppings too. I'd love to get a large portion to-go next time, so I can use the flavourful leftover soup and make some noodles for an extra meal at home. read more

The Laotan Snakehead fish is amazing! We had it with sweet potato noodles, bean curd, enoki mushroom. You can definitely share the L with four people! It was huge! I shared the combo with my friend and we were able to save it for another meal! PS: don't bite into the round peppers! And you will be fine Tbh the popcorn chicken and drinks were just ok... I left my waterbottle there and the server kept it for me for two daysbest service! read more
