About Mala Restaurant

Mala Restaurant is a popular spot for authentic Sichuan cuisine, known for its rich flavors and genuine Chinese taste. The busy atmosphere and crowded seating are complemented by good service. Their BBQ and dried stir-fried chicken with spicy Capsicum are must-try dishes. The dry stir-fried chicken has a dry, mildly spicy, and aromatic flavor that many find uniquely delicious. The restaurant also offers the Seafood Mala Bowl, which is delicious with a nice portion, and the pig ear, sliced perfectly like in Taiwan, is highly praised. Side dishes like jellyfish salad are available, though some find it less flavorful compared to Korean styles. The mala dry pot is considered by some to be the best in town, with the right kind of fatty beef and a good mix of ingredients, although more options could be added. Service is quick and friendly, and despite the challenge of parking, the quality of food makes visiting worthwhile. The restaurant is often packed, indicating the high quality and popularity of the dishes. Highly recommended for food enthusiasts seeking an enjoyable dining experience.
