Great malatang place. Quick and easy as well. When you walk in when busy they will tell you if a table is free and give you number. Then you can just fill up a bowl of food from the bar. Everything from veggies, noodles, meats, fish, balls and most things you can find at a hot pot place.
I like the normal broth one medium spicy. It’s not crazy spice so you can easily get spicy without issue. The dry pot is good but a little too sweet with the peanut sauce they put in. Prices are good and it’s a nice place. I like to come here a lot.
The blonde host refuses to seat us after a long wait because she hasn’t waited enough time for the people in the queue who didn’t show up. They leave the table open and wait for whoever is first in the queue for 5 mins, and then after time’s up, they wait for the next one in the queue for another 5 mins. Very inefficient. Go somewhere else if you see more than 5 tables before you.
Nice for one person meal
Lots of veg choices and broth is flavorful
6:30pm no line but waiting to get weighed took a long time; once ordered service was fast
Came here about maybe two weeks ago? Although the line for it was quite long, I do think it was worth the wait. I got the tomato broth and it was so savory and delicious. I actually prefer this tomato broth over the tomato broth in one of the other malatang places nearby. I also think their signature broth is quite delicious. Good selection of noodles, meats, and toppings. I really enjoyed dining here and despite the hectic dinner rush, the staff was pretty organized. I will come back again and recommend this place!
Normally I would give good reviews but the takeout(delivery) portion size is just tooo small. It barely covers the bottom of the bowl. This costs 31 dollars after tax.
The flavor was decent, but I felt extremely thirsty all night after eating it. They must have added some kind of special seasoning, which doesn’t seem very healthy.
My current favorite malatang spot. They have all the ingredients/sauces I want and everything is always fresh in my experience. The value is good compared to other malatang places I've been to, and they even give fruit most of the time. I like the tomato, golden chicken, and signature mild spicy beef broth. Favorite ingredient is obviously the beef--I get at least 10pcs each time. 😌 Currently they give a voucher per pound for the next visit; I usually get around 1 lb, so it's perfect. They also have takeout available which is super convenient. Seating is best for smaller parties, and the space is considered small. Service is good and quick. The wait can be long and parking can be annoying during peak hours, so I like to come early.
Excellent place to have a delicious hot soup.... Friendly staff and atmosphere. I highly recommend.
The food here is incredibly authentic and absolutely delicious, with fresh vegetables and meats! It’s hands down the best YGF Malatang I’ve ever tried in California, including places in L.A. ,Irvine even Cupertino. The staff are always attentive and thoughtful, even offering a free drink for my child on occasion. My child and I consider this place Michelin-worthy! The only downside is that it’s a bit too far from Cupertino. Thank you for the staff and manager there 10 out of 10:)
10 minutes before they closed, they refused to serve dine in, only serve to go. Then, they should change their opening hours to until 1:50 pm instead of 2:00 pm.

The beef bone broth is good. I usually get mild. There are a ton of ingredients to choose from. It’s around $20 for 1.3 lbs as they charge by weight.
I had a truly disappointing experience at your restaurant today. Despite there being plenty of empty tables, the server insisted on making me, a solo diner, move to a smaller seat at the back row without any clear explanation. This unreasonable and disrespectful attitude was downright frustrating, it felt like I was being singled out for no reason. I hope management addresses this issue and ensures that customers like me aren’t treated like this again.
Amazing malatang. The broth is so rich and flavorful. This places gives Haid Di Lao a run for their money.
I went with my Chinese friend, and it was absolutely incredible. The food was so good it blew my mind. We spent around $45, which included 1 pound of food (priced at $15 per pound) and two drinks. I loved being able to customize everything and pick all the ingredients I wanted—it made the experience even better.
I asked the staff about the spice levels, and they warned me that the extra spicy was really intense. As a Korean, I opted for the regular spicy this time, and honestly, it wasn’t very spicy at all—probably mild by Korean standards. Next time, I’m definitely trying the extra spicy!
The ingredients were super fresh, and there was plenty of parking, which was really convenient. The place seems pretty popular. We didn’t have to wait, but I can see there being a line during busy lunch hours.
Also, there’s a fantastic boba spot nearby! Grabbing a drink there after your meal is the perfect finishing touch. I’ll absolutely be going back—it was just that good!
Easy and simple malatang. By weight.
There is a sauce station don’t miss it.
