Dallas | Another Malatang Spot Opens β "Fish You" ππΆοΈ
After spotting posts about "Fish You" on Xiaohongshu, I dragged my mom along to try it on their soft opening day! π Located in Plano, this new spot offers more than just the usual malatang β it specializes in various sour fish dishes alongside customizable spicy soups. π First Impressions & Ambiance The space is spacious and clean, much larger than some recently opened competitors. The ingredient selection is fresh and well-organized, with a wide variety of meats, veggies, and seafood. We ordered: Clear Oil Malatang (Mild Spice) β Aromatic, numbing, and deeply satisfying Bone Broth Malatang (No Spice) β Rich and comforting, perfect for sensitive stomachs The broths arenβt sweet β theyβre savory and layered with spice notes. At $14.95 per pound, itβs priced similarly to Yin Tang and more affordable than Xiu Hai Fu. π Extras & Side Bar Rice Bar: Self-serve white rice and black rice with peanuts (a bit firm but tasty) Fresh Fruit: Oranges and sweet honeydew π Pickles: Crisp cucumber kimchi on the side Sesame Paste: Salted and rich β but if your soup is already bold, go easy to avoid over-salting Despite the flavorful broth, I didnβt feel overly thirsty afterward β a good sign of balanced seasoning! π¨ A Word of Caution: My Xiu Hai Fu Experience Last week, my second visit to Xiu Hai Fu ended badly β I had food poisoning with cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, and fatigue that lasted through the next day. π£ My friend who joined also got sick. Iβve since seen similar reviews online. It made me hesitant to try malatang again β so Iβm relieved "Fish You" delivered a safe and delicious experience! β Final Rating & Recommendation 4/5 Stars β A solid spot for savory-style malatang and sour fish dishes. Itβs not sweet or heavy, and the broths feel thoughtfully crafted. Iβm withholding one star for growth β hoping they maintain consistency and quality! Great for: Family meals, spice lovers, and anyone tired of overly sweet broths. π Address: Fish You 2313 Central Expy, Plano, TX 75075 #DallasEats #Malatang #DFWFoodie #SpicyFood #AsianCuisine #PlanoRestaurants #FoodReview
