PIXIU MALA HONGTANG LA K-TOWN (피슈마라홍탕 엘에이점)

Definitely my top 5 favorite restaurant in Ktown!! The food is so good, probably because the selections here are always so fresh and so clean. It’s always a pleasant experience to dine in here. The people working here are also very kind and helpful.

Btw, if it matters to you, they have THE cleanest restroom I have ever seen in Ktown.

Pixiu has been my favourite mala hongtang place ever since I discovered it. As a vegetarian I struggle to find good food places in Korea-town and this place did not disappoint. I’ve been a regular here now, the owner is so kind. For someone who has a spicy Indian palette like me, I would recommend to make your own malatang and get the soup with the spice level 2. It’s heaven in a bowl. Everyone I brought to this place loved it too. Especially my mother who was visiting from India. She said it’s a unique dish and something so well cooked you feel like you’re home.

I love dry hotpot! This place they price the meat per portion separately from the ingredients that you customize and sell by weight. But I do have to say the brisket quality seems slightly better than other similar spots in LA?

Very thoughtfully put together restaurant. Seems especially family friendly vibe. Parking lot small but most times I’ve been they have a valet for $3 (cash or Zelle).

Nice people, I highly recommend!

The two of us got charged for almost a hundred dollars for the food, I really don’t know why. It didn’t even taste that good. The owner never checked on us again after she gave us our food. Everything was definitely overpriced. No wonder we were the only customers that night.

Food itself was ok but the price was astromical. We paid 80+ for 2 people. Ridiculous prices!

Edit: After your reply I see that I was over charged. I did not get insanely large amounts of food. I could also afford the food. I was charged way more than 16 per pound. So that's why my bill was high.

Service was below average. Nothing special. The older lady who was the cashier had no expression on her face. Won't return, nothing special. Food was good but served in plastic and soup not hot enough to cook veggies I got. Disappointed.

says open at 11am on google business page, but was not open when i got there at 11:10

It is honestly pretty avg quality for Malatang hotpot as in pretty solid. But, the price alone being more than most comparable places makes it a "it's fine" in my book (my friends and is bowl alone easily ended up being $30-39 each). However their pork was the crispiest juiciest thing I've tasted in a while and although it was also super expensive, it made the experience. I would literally come back for the pork side alone. Valet parking $3 which sucks. All in all, it sits squarely in the it's fine tier but the pork by itself is A+
