Great dry mala pot! You can customize what you want to add in your pot and choose the spice level. I recommend mild spicy (小辣) for people who don’t eat that spicy! The portion is big so you can share with the others.Their bento box is okay. Delicious and authentic but since every dishes were premade for you to choose sometimes it’s not very fresh.
Recommended dishes: Hot Spicy Dry Pot of Mixed Meat and Veggies
One of the best dry mala places in Boston! Their mala is very rich and flavourful aka spicy, so it is advised to get medium. Overall the selection for meat, seafood, and vegetables were plenty and it was also cooked well.

To be fair, you get what you pay for, which means their quality matches their low price. The whole place is run by Cantonese people so don’t expect anything authentic.The vegetarian mala tang was somewhat bland with a lot of msg, ingredients are extremely cheap but the quantity and taste were alright for the price.
Worse and worse, adding beef tripe and pork belly, only three pieces of beef tripe? $4?????? Are you serious? The prices are getting higher and higher and the food are getting little I've been eating for 5 years and I'm never going back!
Our favorite mala around Boston. Doesn't deserve the low stars
Tried almost all the mala around the area and this one is the best so far and the most value for money!

Some of the menu items come with a soup of the day, and my soup was just cabbage water. I was able to fish out 2 slices of napa cabbage with the rest literally water.
I order the Mala Pot two days in a row, and I think the quality of the restaurant is back. Worth a try!
Quantity is sooooooooo small

Small portions. The chili oil is not fragrant, just a bit salty

Standalone, no-fuss Sichuan Mala dishes, especially Mala Xiangguo are hard to find in Boston (or you gotta go to full-service restaurants for it, which cost muuuuch more). It says it is a restaurant, but it really is a hawker stall in a food court, and it is pretty much self-service. You order at the counter, they cook it up, and you go take it from there, find a seat, eat, and deal with the tissues / disposable utensils by yourself, and you have to return their big wooden bowl back to them.
