everything is customized, from the broth, meat, veggies, etc. you can really curate to your tastes! both the dry pot and the soup base are delicious!

Delicious and fun way to get to pick the food you want! The man working at the counter (came on a Tuesday around noon) was super nice and made the experience even better.

One of the best Malatang restaurants I've ever been to! The food was excellent and the workers were all very nice and pleasant to talk to. There are also a lot of different bases and ingredients that can appeal to anyone's palate.

Got the chicken and noodles with vegan style Mala stir fry and max spicy, It was really good. Chester helped me pick stuff and explained how the system works there and recommended me options that go with my dietary restrictions (No beef and no pork). It was very much worth the visit for me and I do hope to come back again when I go to philly.

Don’t know why this place is so lowly rated, it’s 13$ per pound of food, which you can pick and choose, and it tastes amazing! If you don’t think it’s flavorful enough, there’s a sauce station to help out.

We are returning customers and this time we ordered 3 take outs during the busy hours, and one of the orders had missing items of my beef, lamb, fish filet, octopus, and lettuce. It is literally almost a pound of items missing and mostly soup base in the take out. We called in the restaurant to report about this (we called twice because we found out it was missing beef and lamb at first, then we found out there were more missing items) so we hope to resolve this issue. The person (sounds like the owner) answered the call admits that they found our orders of beef and lamb in the kitchen but did not admit that they are missing others. He is rude and interrupts our dispute every time we try to clarify what items were missing. He even reiterates about other items (rice noodle) that we did not mention about, which were irrelevant to our problem. He later changes his words and saying that we are lying to them, but why would a customer call in twice and lie about the food? It was ridiculous because we selected our own items and picked up our own food in the restaurant. But the guy only responded in a terrible attitude that he can only afford a 25% discount next time we dine and no apology. Not returning to this restaurant anymore.

Boss walked out to talk to the cashier guy and boss looks like he takes no accountability whenever somebody’s food has something in them, not sanitary and gets diarrhea.

Always have a good time here, food is always good, staff is friendly as well.
My favorite soup option is the original malatang.
Recommend paying in cash.

Something about this place changed, most likely the cook. Been here multiple times over the years and it's always been fairly consistent. However this time was so bad I won't go back again. Ordered a dry mix and one with broth. The one with broth went from decently flavorful to completely bland like water and for the food inside it's not much better.
The dry mix one was even worse. The ingredients are barely cooked through, the squid and tripe is very very soft a sign of it not being cooked enough, and unlike before where everything is dry and seems to be stir fried, this time it was sitting in a pool of water. It wasn't prepared correctly and was downright awful.

The food was good and my friend wrote a review about the girl with no glasses, but I also wanted to write one about the girl with glasses. We went here before and maybe that day wasn’t the day for them but the other service girl WITH GLASSES. Was very quiet and I could barely hear her, there was no smile on her face either.
