The choices of vegan ingredients for the dish are great and you will definitely find something you like - veggies, mushrooms, tofu or dumplings! You pay for the weight and therefore are able to create your own dish as you wish, considering the ingredients as well as the volume. There are three vegan soups available and a great variety of toppings that can be refilled as wished. Really nice concept and definitely a recommendation!
This place was a nightmare. You get everything yourself but they force you to tip. The food taste was just okay. I’d go to Tang bar or YGF instead.

This place is my absolute favorite! The food is incredible, the staff is super friendly, and the meat is always top-notch. I go there at least twice a week.

Best hotpot feast I've ever seen. I sampled extensively and enjoyed the wide section of fresh vegetables, fish, and meat. Did I mention their offerings include Wagyu beef?

Been here since it opened — staff are always super kind and the food is consistently good. Never short of anything from your selection (vs the other newly opened Malatang place where they keep missing stuff and there are flies in the ingredients)

The spice level was through the roof, but there was no depth to the flavor. It felt like they just dumped chili oil into the broth without balancing the seasoning. It was painful to eat, and not in a good way...

Malatang is basically precooked hot pot so you don't have to cook the food yourself. It's basically like Chinese fast food.
You get to choose what you want by picking raw food in a steel bowl and then they will cook it based on the soup bases you choose.
Zhangliang is a malatang place from China and they seemed to expanding to Bay area and I'm happy it's here.
The food will get boring after a while but if you haven't been here I'd recommend that you come here to try.
Choose the bone soup because it's the best and you can drink the soup after you finish the food.
Also I like the fresh fruit stand.
I think it's almost the golden standard for malatang because they have one of the best selection of ingredients and service is well trained. The place can be crowded but you still should be seated quickly since it's really just fast food.

The ingredients in this Málàtàng restaurant seemed old. The vegetables were wilted, and the meat had an odd texture. It definitely didn’t feel fresh, which really put me off !

I love this place and best of all it’s near my workplace. The one plus of this place versus the other ones is there is a fruit bar.
Usually I come here in the afternoon (before 3pm) and it’s not too crowded; the ingredients are fresh, and it’s pescatarian and vegetarian friendly.
Edit: I came back for like the 5th time hahahaha still as good as ever

Stop here for dinner 4 times in a week. Great!
This place is just alright. The mala tang wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t anything special either. The broth didn’t have the rich, spicy complexity I was expecting, and the portion size was smaller than I’ve had at other places. It’s fine if you’re in a pinch, but there are better options out there !
