The “House Malatang” was sooo delicious. And reasonably priced! (How it works is you choose the vegetables and meats that you want, bring them to the counter, choose your soup, and they cook it all up and bring it to you) Definitely going again ?

Delicious malatang spot off of Grand Ave in Palisades Park. Choose your ingredients and you are charged by the weight of them. Prepared with or without soup and by level spice (you can start at 0 and go up by 0.5 if you can't handle heat well). The staff is very accommodating. The food is delicious and the place is clean, highly recommend try if you are into malatang. Free dessert (tanghulu) if you pay in cash.

Quiet and peaceful. Nice service worth the stop, if you enjoy heat try 3rd level it’s worth the burn. It’s good flavor, by the pound restaurant. Worth a try.

This is quite addictive. Ever since I had my first experience here 3 weeks ago, I've been having a craving and will definitely visit again. I'm usually a soup person, but I loved stir-fry over soup version here. The soup version had strong peanut butter flavor to it, and I'm not so much of a sweet side when it comes to soup. Regardless, getting both of them was a great choice. Strongly recommend trying both at the same time!!! Perfect match ? •••• Parking can be a bit challenge. Try to avoid busy hours.

We ordered food to pick up: 3 spicy stir fry dishes, 1 malatang, and 1 guo bao rou. When we got there, they forgot the guo bao rou and rice. I'm glad I checked before leaving! When I told them about the missing items, they took the bag back and added the forgotten items, but it took a long time. While we waited, we saw others who came after us getting served the same dish we were waiting for.

It would have been nice if they had said sorry, but they didn't, so I was annoyed with the service. The food was okay. I've been to this restaurant a few times, but this time, it had no spice at all :(

Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend ordering for pickup. It's better to dine in at the restaurant instead.

Pretty tasty spicy soy dry pot! Not tons of choices of veggie and meat but pretty enough.

Great food - mala tang (boiled veggies and protein) and spicy pot (stirred fried veggies and protein) are both good. They can go very spicy so I'd suggest going with 1 and at most 2 if you can't handle spicy food.

You can pick any vegetables or protein and the servers will weigh the food.

No reservations needed. Wait is short. Small parking lot in front of the store.

This place is SO GOOD! Better than wok bar. Addicting Mala shanguo. Level 1 spicy is spicyyy. You can ask for 1.5 which is super spicy but satisfying. 2 is probably the max spice level anyone should go with. Love the free tanghulu with cash purchase. Actually left to go to an atm to get cash. But so worth it!

This is my 4th visit. The dry pot, malatang, and all the side dishes are delicious! They are very consistent, which I love. Personally, I think they have the best malatang in NJ.
