Used to live in Hong Kong and near WongTai Sing temple is a few Sichuan restaurants that are spectacular. Mala on Bellaire echoes that awesomeness. The Montrose and Katy locations not so much.
The Dan Dan noodles are spot on. Robust noodles that give just enough topped with minced spicy pork and just the right amount of Sichuan peppercorns.
Get the Ma Po Tofu as well. Both will give you that slick lip burn like nothing else.
Add the garlic cucumbers and dumplings...read full review

Tried the Crispy Spicy Chicken with Rice and the House Special Chicken Chow Mein, and both were good! The crispy chicken came with roasted dried red chilies that added the whole spiciness. However, neither dish was particularly spicy overall. The chow mein was okay but lacked enough flavour and was extremely oily, with oil pooling at the bottom of the plate.
