My new favorite place.
Best hot pot for vegans.
All noodles are vegan according to waiter.

Get the miso broth.

It was obviously burnt, but when I asked the waiter, he said it was normal.

It was amazing. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was quiet and clean — it felt like having hot pot in an upscale place. The price was very reasonable, and even though it’s an hour away, I’ll definitely be coming back again.

Used to be our favorite hotpot place, now they don’t even serve hotpot? Disappointing for a 25 minute drive

We came for hotpot and found that it was no longer offered, but was now a dimsum restaurant. I am so happy we gave it a try! We got about 6 different plates off the menu and every single thing was delicious, piping hot, and with exceptional service. It was my husband’s first time trying dimsum and he had a fantastic experience. We will absolutely be back!

Mala Hotpot is a place I have been going to for years, and I love the hotpot there. However, they have recently pivoted to not serving hotpot, perhaps just during the summer months it seems. Really sad to see, since I don't think this change is best for the customer experience and enjoyment of good soup. Soup is good year round, even if it is warm out. I will update my review in September, when it seems like hotpot will be returning to Mala Hotpot.

Always very good food and service

Even without hot pot, the dim sum was the best in the city! Definitely coming back soon.

Went at 7pm, no employees to be seen. Waited 10 minutes, rang the bell, called the restaurant, tried to find staff. Nobody around. They were not busy at all, and I'm assuming it could be due to the lousy service, or complete lack there of.

Very peaceful and great service. I’d bring anyone here.

Small, simple place with delicious hot pot. The veggies and dips/sauces are included with each combo! The mala broth is amazing.

Mala hot pot is a fun, fun Chinese restaurant located in evendale at the corner of Redding and Glendale Milford road in the same parking lot as CAM, Chinese American market. It is a medium size restaurant that is bright and super clean. There are many tables that have built-in burners set in the white marble table tops. There are many tables that have four or eight burners. You need one burner per person. I think there's a room that has even larger tables. Also. Although you can order pre-made noodle dishes, the funnest and most common thing to do is to the order the make your own soup option. They have several different flavor broths . You order what type of sliced meat and what kind of noodles you want to add to it. While you wait for the robot to deliver your sliced meats, You take a bowl to the the salad bar that has vegetables, tofu, fish balls, lobster balls, and lots of other stuff. Then you dump it all in a bowl and cook it for a while. It's a fun thing to do with friends. One of my buddies said the spicy broth was too hot and spicy for him. I had the chicken mushroom broth which was basically like a chicken soup, very mild. I thought it was delicious. They are only open for lunch on the weekends; otherwise dinner only. I thought it was a unusual, very interesting, fun, and delicious spot to eat with friends. Families with children would have a great time.

First-time here. We came for dinner while we were in town. The food was great with many options. You basically have your own hot pot that is turned on and pick out different foods you would like.

The meal includes a vegetarian buffet that you can add to your dish or soup also. You can order on your phone or with the server.
