Went with friends, parking was horrible. This is in a "food court" where there's only another restaurant that was open on a Friday night. Walking in, I was a little surprised with the set up. There is no flow. It would have been nice if there was something that said to " Start Here!". You basically get a bowl and tongs from in front of the counter and just get whatever items you want to add to your bowl. They then weigh the bowl and you tell them what kind of broth you'd like. The end product is delicious. You can take it home if you can't finish it, they provide you with containers. The patrons are 99% Chinese so you know it's good and legit. However, don't believe all the markings on the food because some are mismatched. The dining area could be much cleaner and inviting.

Best instant hotpot/Malatang in Irvine, love the dry style and beef bone broth. You can adjust your seasoning by yourself. Recommend: when you order spicy dry dish, add more sesame sauce and crashed peanuts! Much fresher ingredients and better flavor than Zhangliang Malatang. Also, they don’t really ask high tips as a fast food restaurant, but still with pretty good service.

I ordered ubereat for the first and second time and the portions were enough to fill my stomach, and I ordered rice balls for the next one. The taste was a bit off, and the portions ordered at Ubereat were much less. I just ordered a lot of things and the portions are still very small.

Food is ok, price is ridiculous too expensive. Easily 40+ for a malatang. There’s no service. You have to serve yourself including bringing dishes, cleaning the dirty table left by previous disgusting customers, taking away your dish after dining. The shop next door is playing super noisy music and has bad smoke to make you cough.

The spice level here is perfect and very happy they built mala so close by to where I live. Highly recommend!
Cashiers have very bad attitude. The food I ordered have not been ready for 30min, they have no resolution but let me wait. The food is bland, the rice tastes like it’s from yesterday. Would not come back.

I've eaten at your restaurant at least 20 times. Initially, I thought everything was great! But recently, on more than one occasion, I've noticed missing items from my orders! The most outrageous part is, I can understand if you've run out of rice!! But you cannot just split what should be one serving into three bowls!!!! So disappointed, such an unreliable business!!

Such good food, you can put any ingredients you want in the broth. I would totally recommend the black fungi.

The food is good however the bone broth is very salty and left my throat super dry after eating to the point where it felt like I had a sore throat. Service was fast and it was clean inside.

The food in here is really nice and it is the traditional Chinese soup. I come here many times repeatedly and the price is resealable as well.
