Delicious Chinese food with lots of Vegetarian options. You can pick a custom blend of proteins and vegetables and they’ll be cooked for you at a spice level you like. It’s a very simple and casual setting, but the food’s great!

Absolutely unacceptable experience. Came here to dine in, made it very clear at the counter, and they still tossed everything into to-go boxes like we were an afterthought. When we asked about actually eating inside the restaurant, the waiter had the audacity to tell us we “still need to pay tips” — for what service exactly? Handing us takeout boxes and shooing us away?
The attitude was unbelievable. Zero customer service, zero respect, and somehow they still expect a tip before offering even the bare minimum. The whole vibe felt like they couldn’t care less about customers. Honestly one of the most irritating and unprofessional dining experiences I’ve ever had.
Save your time, money, and sanity. There are plenty of places that actually want your business — this is not one of them. Never coming back.

The food is actually really good, but if you’re expecting good service, this isn’t the right place for you. The service is really bad, to be honest.

I want to gatekeep this place, but I want this restaurant to do well. We've been eating here for a few years, their drypot can't be beat. It's really delicious. You pick what you want to go in, and pick a spice level, and they'll cook it for you. Dining in also comes with a nice complementary sweet tea, which helps with the spice. We usually get it with rice. They're a good spicy for casual spice eaters. Probably not stupid spicy for those who really fixate on it.

I decided to give this place a try even though some of the online reviews weren’t great but honestly, it didn’t disappoint! I ordered the Chongqing Fish Bowl in Flaming Red Oil with a small spicy level, and it was super tasty and authentic. Love that you can choose your own spice level too!
The portion is generous and totally worth the price. Don’t let the reviews scare you off it’s definitely worth a try!

The flavor is different now, not good like before. The service is really bad. Their facial expression is not welcome at all. It was the best Mala Xian Guo in San Jose, Cupertino. But now, one of the worst. Aint gonna come back again.

Good food but service is so so bad, no smile, seems like want to shout to costumers. Servers have really bad behavior.
Used to love this place, but it’s horrible this time since they changed their management. Dishes are different, no Yibin noodles anymore, no knife cut noodles. The lamb and beef in the dry pot was from yesterday, even the steamed rice was not cooked today (some very dry rice). The old lady even coughed in front of our dish… Horrible and DONT COME!

The dry pot tastes good, but then other dishes are not so great. Nice staff. Maybe would be better to put more effect on quality control.

The clerk at the counter was dishonest when paying the bill. The tablemate paid the bill in two separate bills and gave no change for the banknotes. It was obvious that 2 meals for 14.99USD were paid for 40 US dollars, and there was no change at all. I put it away and said...that's good! ! !
