Malala Chinese offers an exceptional dining experience in a very tiny yet nice space. The service is extremely kind and helpful, with staff willing to accommodate requests for preferred spiciness levels. The food is flavorful and true to Chinese cuisine, featuring dishes such as crispy spicy fish flounder, Dan-Dan "burning noodles," and the highly praised Mayo Tofu. Customers have also enjoyed the Mapo Tofu, which is described as very good and authentically spicy. Portions are generous, making it an excellent choice for groups to try an array of menu items. Many customers have loved favorites like stir-fried bok choy, fried chicken mini dumplings, chicken with broccoli, and Mala chicken. While prices may be a bit steep for some ingredients, the overall quality and freshness of the food make it well worth a visit. The restaurant offers lunch specials that come with an egg roll or soda, and many appreciate the quick service and bold flavors. Despite the low prices, the generous portions and authentic taste make it a good spot for everyone.
