the pork bone soup base is so good. We get this like every weekend. But the tom yum tasted like dial soap for the one time I tried it and I will never try it again.
Kind of upsetting they don’t have pork blood or duck blood like lots of malatang places, but I hope they would have it along with more selection in the future.

Really good mala dry pot! The ingredients were fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The spice level was just right—fragrant and spicy without overpowering the flavors of the food. Everything was well seasoned and super satisfying. Portions were generous too. Definitely a great spot when you’re craving mala xiang guo. Would come back!
First time trying Mala Mala and the food was actually really good. I liked being able to choose exactly what I wanted, and the broth had plenty of flavor without being too overwhelming. Everything tasted fresh and it was definitely satisfying if you’re craving something spicy and comforting
The only part that confused me was the seating. The restaurant wasn’t very busy, but almost everyone was seated right by the windows. Normally I wouldn’t care, but it was especially...read full review

Mala Mala is a recently opened malatang restaurant with a great selection of options, including Tom Yum soup, bone broth, and dry pot. The restaurant has a comfortable and spacious layout, and the food bar and sauce bar are clean and well-maintained. The selection of vegetables, meatballs, meats, tofu, and protein options is decent, and the ingredients are super fresh and restocked frequently. The sauce bar is well stocked with a really spicy chili oil, ground fresh red peppers, chinese bbq sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame sauce, vinegar, sugar, salt, cilantro, and green onions.
The Mala Beef Bone Broth is rich and seasoned perfectly, with a clean taste without being overly heavy, and is worth coming back for. The House Stir Fry comes with garlic chunks, pieces of ginger, and peanuts, and the flavor is really delicious, not too strong and not spicy. The dry pot is stir-fried rather than mixed together with sauce and is better than most dry pots at other malatang restaurants in the surrounding area. The pork broth is not spicy enough for some tastes. The chicken broth has an up charge of $2 but is totally worth it.
The service is good and the food comes out really fast. Staff are able to accommodate a shellfish allergy. The restaurant is quite loud and busy, and there can be a wait on weekends, about 40 minutes. Parking can be rough. It is a better spot for people who already know what they want, since most of the ingredients don't have labels. Overall, a very enjoyable hot pot experience with fresh ingredients and a good variety of choices.
