Pure garbage. It will cause diarrhea. Avoid at all cost.

It is no longer the original good old BetterChef.

This new one and the previous one are both selling garbage.

We thought this was the restaurant next door the whole time, and didn't realize it wasn't until we walked out after our meal. Still, pretty good stuff. Bad day to wear white, though.

Malatang and fried skewers are yummy

Mala tong, I miss you very much:') I have been looking for the right mala spicy and numb taste for so long, and I've finally found you!! I would say, if it wasn't because it is in a popular location, with the Chinese wordings in front, I wouldn't have discovered this place has what I have been looking for, so I hope they change the English name into something that is searchable for those who is also looking for the mala soup!

You basically pick your own food choices, soup base, those in a stick are meant to be bbq, and the price is very good! Right when the bowls arrived, I already can smell that's the right taste! So touched ??

I think the store is well kept, especially given that they handle a lot of oil and spice, just think it would be nice to provide spoons but it's okay, as the soup is not meant to be drunk. I took home with the remaining soup (I brought my own containers), and will come back for more!!

None of the dishes you see on this page is there anymore. It WAS very good
This restaurant has been rebranded as a Malatang Place, which is sadly not as good as its neighbor.

I went to eat today and found that the price has become cheaper and they also have spicy food, which tastes good.

It's a pity that such a good location, the taste is really average, bland as water, and the price is high. It is easy to cause diarrhea,I don't recommend eating here,

PSA: This is no longer the good old Better Chef for authentic Szechuan Chinese dishes.

It inherited the name and turned into some garbage super greasy fried skewers and tasteless malatang bs.

Malatang ingredients seems to have a funny smell, did not really enjoy. Soup flavour also wasn’t very strong, felt watered down.

Good Chinese food at a fair price. The 3 dishes plus 3 bowls of rice were enough for the 3 of us. We enjoyed all 3 dishes, but the pork belly wasn't quite as tender as I had hoped. Also, a previous time we went and ordered the shredded pork in sweet bean sauce, they completely forgot about the wraps it was supposed to come with. Would return to have a meal with friends when were craving Chinese food!

They changed the name and serving spicy hotchpotch. The food, taste, service are all below average. My friend pinched her finger by a broken chair, they don’t even check their furniture quality. That is very dangerous. Will never come back again.
