We came in late one night and the service was still great! The two ladies working were very nice and friendly, and very helpful when we had questions about the menu. We ordered: Corn Rice Roll: really unique item. We've never had anything like this anywhere else, and it was delicious. Pork & Preserved Egg Porridge: standard porridge for a cold night. HUGE portion, also really delicious! Fried tofu, french fries, and popcorn chicken were also very standard, but generous portions. The teas were fairly good - not outstanding, but not bad, either. The Malatang was definitely the highlight, though. Plenty of options at a reasonable price, and the portions were HUGE. The flavor was great, too! The other food was great, but the Malatang was the most amazing, no doubt. Would absolutely come back just for this.

The fish balls & takoyaki were super fresh!! A tad hidden but can see this place gaining alot of attention if more exposed.

I came here with a friend about two weeks ago. We ordered Malatang and I also ordered a honey green tea with cream. The Malatang and the honey green taste good, but for the cream, I don't think I would get it again. Staff here is really friendly though!

12.14.18 After a busy productive morning, came here to go some lunch. It just opened not too long ago when I stepped in so it was pretty slow, only one table was filled. I got some comfort food that I can't make at home. The rice roll and porridge. The beef and pork rice rolls and the frog porridge. It was pretty good. My bf thought the porridge was a little too salty. The rice rolls we're good but portion was so small. At least the porridge filled me up. Hahaha

Nice customer service and good food!!

Tried both the Ma La Tang and the Dry pot, both were very delicious but I would suggest they make the dry pot less salty, that would be perfect!! Still coming back though! The way this works is you choose what you want in your pot (dry or soup), if you're hungry you might end up picking a bunch of stuff and it can get pricy, also, once they cook it the portions become huge so unless you are super hungry I'd say pick 5 things including the meat which you choose at the register, that will really be enough.

I like the flavor of their dry pot and how we can choose the amount of what we want to put in there. I also like how inexpensive they are. Their dry pot is good and well as the beef rice rolls. I've been here a few times now and would come back to try different things on their menu!

It's alright. Came here on a weekday afternoon and had no issue with finding parking. I don't think I'd be able to say the same about the parking situation if it was a weekend evening though, since there is a Chinese seafood restaurant in the same plaza and the parking situation here is awkward af. Since the place is supposed to be known for their malatang and malatang is one of my favorite foods in the world, I had to order it. You take a bowl and a pair of tongs, pick your favorite items from their refrigerated section, and hand in your bowl at the counter. They charge you based on the number of skewers you take. Soy items, mushrooms, and meatballs cost around $1.50 per skewer while vegetables are $1.50 per skewer. You can select your choice of carbs and meat at the end when you hand in your bowl. Meats cost around $3 while most carb options (glass noodles, rice cakes) are $1.50. You can also ask to have fried eggs and other types of meat/seafood/random organ meats for an extra charge. Refer to the menu photo for the prices. The base price is $1.50 for soup and $3.99 for "dry pot." They also have a massive chalkboard above the malatang item section that you should read before making your order. The spiciness level was perfect for me, but hardly "extra" spicy. Also, the chilis were burnt and had this annoying burnt smell that kind of made it worse. There was also a super thick layer of oil over the top that kept the heat trapped in my bowl. Although the malatang took around 15 minutes to come out, I couldn't actually eat it comfortably until 40 minutes later (yes, I was keeping tabs on the time) because there was still a lot of steam coming out of the glass noodles 30 minutes later. I generally don't like to complain about waitstaff in restaurants because it's not an easy job: they take a lot of b******* from assy customers on a regular basis. I appreciated that the waitress checked in on me to make sure I liked the food and to see if I needed anything else, however she commented that I probably was taking forever to eat my food because I ordered a spiciness level that was too spicy for me. I don't care about comments like that, but I can see how this might piss off other customers. Also, like I mentioned above, it wasn't that spicy. The skewer thing is kind of cool because that's how actual malatang is done in China- you pick your skewers and get charged based on the number of skewers in your bowl. However, the skewers here are awkwardly skimpy. For example, when you take a skewer of fish tofu, it's actually 2 pieces cut in half so it looks like 4 pieces on a skewer. That's expensive af for $2.50. They do the same thing with the meatballs. Also, many of the vegetables/mushrooms were super oxidized. It would be better if they would place covers over their items when business is slow so stuff doesn't sit out like that at 3pm. This place seems to be owned by Cantonese owners, as I overheard the people at the table next to me chatting with the waitress/guy from the back during my meal. Also, they had a few Cantonese items on the menu such as congee and rice noodle rolls. I might try those next time. They also have your typical boba shop wifi, drinks and snacks such as fried chicken, fries, and appetizers. Extensive beverage menu as well. If you come here during the little gap between lunch and dinner, it's quiet and the music isn't too loud, so you can do some computer work and tuck in to a nice drink/snack if your appetite isn't ready to stomach some dinner yet.

We went to Street Party tonight for dinner. We ordered the Hokkaido milk tea, pork belly over rice, spam fried rice and frog porridge. The portions are very generous and reasonably priced. The frog porridge was much larger than I expected. It easily fed three people or two very hungry people. The porridge had a lovely ginger taste. The frog was plain tasting but there was plenty in the porridge. The spam fried rice was quite large. My daughter ate about 1/3 of it and we took the rest home. The spam was soft and was quite good. The pork belly over rice was unexpectedly spicy. It was delicious but after awhile it was too much for me. I ended up taking half home. As far as parking, it's located in a mini mall which has plenty of parking, including underground.
I love 麻辣烫 the spicy n numb feeling is so addicting. My bf recommended this place and I definitely will come back. The service is good because they are there to assist you . There's no wait n when u order your drinks it comes out pretty fast. It was my first time seeing how big the bowl is and the taste is authentic as the ones in China. The drinks are pretty cheap $3-4.50. There's a bit salty tho but everything is pretty good. If u love spicy n numbing try this place. The prices of the malatang is by picking the variety of veggies meat. AT the end my meal was about $25 not included tips I think is ok. Btw I order sea salted black tea n my BF order watermelon juice.

If you're looking to customize your hotspot this is the place. Although there is only one flavour soup base it's still pretty good. Considering the prices and the large portion size I would definitely recommend coming back. My sister and I shared a large bowl and we couldn't even finish it ! It only costed us $15 for all the toppings :)

This place combines a snack food and boba tea shop with self-serve hot pot bar. If you are confused on what to do, there are instructions on the board on how to eat the hot pot and the workers will help you out as well. You pick all your toppings at the bar into a bowl and then you select your proteins, noodles, or rice at the end. You customize the spice level and whether you want a dry pot or with soup. Street Party maybe known for their spicy dry pot but other than that, their hot pots porridge is good too. The porridge has a great flavor and there are lots of different protein options with it. My mom loves coming here so we've been a few times. All the times I came, there was no wait and we were seated immediately.

Interesting concept, can be kind of confusing your first time, but the staff is pretty helpful at explaining. All of the menu items are standard, but the DIY hot pot is the real star. There is a self serve hot pot ingredients bar where you basically pick whatever veggies, seafood, etc. that you want in your hot pot. Save room for the meats, because you order those at the end! They take your items and cook it for you and serve you your hot pot. Overall the food was pretty decent, but the DIY is a little bit on the pricey side. Yes, you get to add a lot of things, but I wish they came in smaller portions so you can get more variety. As is, if you want to try many different things, you're looking to pay $20-30 for a bowl of hot pot! At that price point I'd rather just go to an AYCE place as the quality here isn't exceptional enough to justify that price.

Came here on a Thursday night for some malatang with my sister. I can't say it was a complete let down, but it wasn't the greatest either. The soup was pretty diluted so it's quite bland and tasteless. Everyone knows the soup/broth is important when it comes to malatang. The concept was good because you get to make your own. From veggies to protein, prices varies. In the end, I paid about $18 for my malatang alone. Kind of overpriced for its quality, but at least we tried it, and now we know it isn't all that tasty for the price you'll be paying. They have a minimum of $25 if you are paying with credit cards, which I think it's a bit overboard, $10-$15 would be reasonable, since they're not supposed to have those minimum requirements to begin with. So if you're dining by yourself, make sure you have cash so you don't need to order other unnecessary items to make it to $25.
