About MaLuBianBian

Malu Bian Bian is a new hotpot restaurant that recently opened, modeled after a popular chain from China. The name "Malu Bian Bian" translates to "side of the road" and the restaurant aims to replicate the Sichuanese food scene with its decor and ambiance. The interior is designed to look vintage and features glow-up Chinese character signage, colorful furniture, and artistic murals.

The restaurant offers an all-you-can-eat hot pot experience for $29 per person. The food selection includes a variety of meats, seafood, and vegetables. Instead of a buffet spread, the food is laid out in freezers and there is a sauce bar for customers to customize their hot pot.

The restaurant's unique feature is that everything is served on skewers, making it easier for customers to find their food. However, the cups and plates are smaller to reduce food waste.

The ventilation is good and the music selection is praised, creating a pleasant dining experience. There is plenty of parking available in the shared lot and the restaurant accepts credit cards but prefers cash.

The service could be improved, as it is a bit slow and the staff speaks mainly Mandarin. However, the overall experience is recommended for those looking for a unique hot pot experience in the heart of Chinatown.

Some of the popular dishes at Malu Bian Bian include the crispy fried pork and brown sugar rice cake. Overall, the restaurant offers a consistent quality of food and a fun and unique dining experience.
