Vibrant and cozy interior with delicious food. My friends and I shared a dry pot which was great. However the tastiest dishes in my opinion were the cold noodle salad (spicy) steamed beef dumplings and the scallion pancakes.

Delicious Szechuan (spicy and numbing) food! I always love this restaurant since the flavors are spot on and the dry pot items are full of veggies.
The prices are a bit steep! I had to downsize my day pot to 4 items so it wouldn’t be crazy expensive. Tip 1: if you use Instacart+, there might be deals! I got $15 off $35 (before taxes). Tip 2: the lunch menu saves a ton of money! Go there 12-4pm and save!

Initially we went to a nearby restaurant without a reservation, and we were turned away. Walking past, we could see the really cool decor of MaLa and tried our luck. Ben was able to accommodate my party of 5 without a reservation. We enjoyed everything! Ben’s customer service, he was very welcoming! We made great recommendations for food items. I will most definitely be returning whenever I’m in New York.
