Good Food, Interesting Pricing
The restaurant calculates the total weight of vegetables, meat, and skewers without individual itemization. I visited in the evening and there was a promotion for 1 can of Sapporo beer for $1 (limit 1 can per person). I enjoyed the meal.

New Restaurant with Dirty Dishes and Poor Atmosphere
My experience at this new restaurant was disappointing. Upon arrival, I noticed that the serving dishes were still wet and DIRTY from their dishwashing process, with food bits still on them. It's pathetic to have these issues as a new establishment. The restaurant also offered a poor variety of ingredients and an impersonal and vapid eating atmosphere. I would advise taking your hunger elsewhere.

Good Soup Base, Great Price
My experience at the restaurant was positive, particularly with the soup base. While the ingredients were limited, they were sufficient for the meal. I did feel the sauce section could be more extensive, but the overall price point was great!

Interesting Broth, Good Service and Price
I chose the pork bone broth with black garlic and selected a spice level of 3. 5. However, it didn't taste like the mala tang I'm used to in Korea. Korean mala tang typically has a peanut sauce base with a distinct spicy kick, but this version, likely due to the meat broth, tasted more like Vietnamese cuisine than mala tang. Despite this, the taste was good. I also appreciated the service and price, which were excellent, leading to a high rating for them. ☺

Inconsistent Food Portions
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The staff was great and the atmosphere was pleasant, receiving a 4 out of 5. However, the food quality, rated a 2 out of 5, was disappointing. Every time I visit, I notice that a significant amount of what I put in my bowl to cook doesn't return in my soup. I've had instances where I added over half a bowl of meat, only to receive just a couple of pieces in my soup. If you are charging by weight, you should be returning every piece of that bowl to your customers in their soup. This issue also applies when taking food to go.

Cleanliness and Service Good, Food Lacking
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The place was clean and the staff was kind, which contributed to a pleasant atmosphere. However, the taste of the food wasn’t great. I was surprised by the high ratings this place received, as the soup, in particular, didn’t taste proper mala.

Great Chinese Malatang Nearby!
My experience at this restaurant was great. I'm happy it opened up near me, making it convenient to get quick and easy Chinese Malatang. The food was excellent (rated 5/5), and the service and atmosphere were also very good (rated 4/5 each).

Hidden Gem for Malatang Lovers!
I'm incredibly surprised this place doesn't have more people. The owner is so kind and the ingredients are fresh and hella yummy. Great vibes and great food. I got the black garlic broth but others I was with got the tomato broth and pork broth. You cannot go wrong with any. If you're craving malatang, THIS is the place 🤤!
