We were in Novi for the motor city Comic-Con and wanted to try out a new restaurant. I actually…read moreasked chatGBT for top 10 restaurants for dinner and this was on the list! It's very close to the former suburban showplace and located in a strip mall. There was availability in the shared parking lot. When we walked in, I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the decor and layout of the restaurant. It was busy but only had to wait for a few minutes for them to get a table ready. There were seats at the bar which seemed like a good atmosphere if you chose to sit there. We sat by the window in a 4 top for just the 2 of us. My seat was comfy on a bench. There were many items on the menu that we wanted to try but asked our server for recommendations. My husband ordered wonton soup for appetizer and then Mongolian beef. I ordered the Thai basil chicken. We ate it all! Everything was flavorful and hot in temperature and served just at the right amount of pace. I also ordered the white flower cocktail, it was good and can't quite determine what part of it had a little kick to it! We ordered hot tea for our dessert, they certainly know how to make jasmine tea just right! Restrooms were clean and it's a cozy yet a little upscale vibe but not dressy. I was worried as I had my Star Wars t-shirt on but I layered with a sweater! We will definitely return as I'd like to splurge and try the Hong Kong short ribs!

Once you enter the two set of doors, there will be a cart full of huge bowls and tongs. Once you one of each, you'll take a few steps to the toppings of your choice. You can get as much as you'd like... just remember it can add up quick especially if you get more than a lbs. I love spice and heat, but stick to spice level one. After you get your bowl weighed, they'll give you a number once you pay. You also get the option of adding in: ramen, udon, or rice on the side. They offer water with small cups that's on the other side of the cashier and canned pop/ Asian drinks (for additional cost). Even though it can get busy, I've never had a problem getting a seat. This place is always clean- table and restrooms. Service is friendly and pretty quick. Once you're done, you bus your bowl to the back- where the trash can is located. This is a perfect restaurant on a cold day. Can't wait to eventually try out the stir fry and dry dishes!

Welcome to Mala Land. Don't be intimidated. You just walk up to the spread, add your choice of noodles, veggies, meats and so on. Then take it to the counter. They put it on the scale. You tell them which broth you would prefer. We went with the Mala Tang spice level 2. The broth is fabulous, the noodles, the meats and the bean curds tasted divine. It definitely does the trick.

I am so glad I discovered this place today looking to try some different take out. I live about 25 minutes from here and will continue to drive here for food.
