Tasty, customizable experience for wet/dry individual hot pot. Pick your items, cost is by weight, they'll take it and then bring it to you for you to enjoy!

I was in desperate need to go to the bathroom, I asked the woman by the cashier and she said “ I’m sorry I don’t care that it’s an emergency you need to buy something before going in there. It’s only for paying customers only”
So I waited in line almost peeing my self right there ordered the cheapest thing 8$ dumplings and went to the bathroom. Took a closer look at the menu and everything was more then 5$
Thank you for showing us that you guys care
More about money than your customers. Great job.

My wife and I went out for Mala Xiangguo today; the portions were rather small, and the taste wasn't very good.

Full disclosure: I am a very picky foodie and I shy away from anything that looks like a buffet. I reluctantly tried Pixiu Mala Hontang over a year ago and it is now one of my top 3 favorite restaurants in Portland. I’ve brought many friends from different walks of life, and everyone loves it. It’s fabulous to have control over the ingredients. I always get soup and although I spend $40 (which includes a generous well deserved tip), I take home leftovers and get two extra meals out of it. The flavors are still amazing two days later. My husband always gets the stir fry and he swears by it. If you want fancy linens, this is not the place. If you want scrumptious, fresh, nutritious food (but you can also indulge in bacon and other meats)— I highly recommend Pixiu Mala Hongtang.

I went for lunch here for the first time and got the soup option. I got a stainless steel mixing bowl and added fresh cabbage, bok choy, sprouts, mushrooms, chives, shrimp, surimi/crab, dumplings, beef, and corn flour noodles. The hostess asked me whether I wanted a soup or stir fry. I opted for soup. I felt like my soup bowl came pretty quickly and everything was cooked in the most delicious vegetarian based broth. The broth had so much flavor and complemented all of my veggies, seafood, and meat so well. I loved it. I got a one star spice level and it was perfect for me. If you can’t handle spicy food, let your server know after you’ve put your bowl together so that they know to not add too much red pepper. Say that you want “zero stars” and add that you don’t want pepper. I definitely coming back here. It was a generous amount of food and it felt healthy.

Kind of unpleasant from the moment I walked in. No greeting and lots of unbussed tables. I honestly felt uncomfortable. I wish there were labels on the food items. There's a minimum of $15. My bowl was about $13 and she asked me to add more. Taste wise, it was okay. I got level 1 spice and it wasn't too spicy. I probably won't come back. The sauce bar is weak.
