    dry mix - no good
    Clarisse T.

    hmmm more like 3.5 stars. spicy broth was good but the dry mix was not. i literally didn't taste much for the dry mix and flavor wasn't good. ingredient comparison with other MLT are on par EXCEPT the meat - they def seemed lower grade. service was attentive for the .5 star. will come back for try again tho, hopefully they changed the meat.

    2.4/5 Food. - low quality ingredients - lamb was exceptionally gamey - very fatty beef and no lean beef available - very fibrous old vegetables - soup was actually just bad - overcooked vegetables and noodles I was starving too and I couldnt finish my bowl. I grabbed my usual spread at a mala tang place so no variance there. Their system clearly needs improvements.

    Mild beef bone broth
    Kit W.

    Really liked the broth here. This is the mild beef bone. It was very good without being too heavy and fatty. Good selection of veggies and noodles, great fish balls but only two meats (beef and lamb). Would have liked some pork. $14.99/lbs - same as most of the places.

    We went around 5 PM on a Sunday, right when they opened, and the place was almost empty. The shop is newly renovated -- clean and spacious overall. It's priced by weight, at $14.99 per pound . The ingredient section is an open refrigerated counter, and the selection is pretty complete -- common vegetables, tofu products, wide noodles, meatballs, and various meats. We chose two soup bases: the non-spicy pork bone broth and tomato soup . The pork bone broth had a subtle peanut butter aroma, light and flavorful, and totally drinkable without feeling greasy. The tomato soup was nicely balanced between sweet and sour -- our kid loved it and drank quite a bit. The sauce bar is self-serve and has plenty of options . I especially liked the green Sichuan pepper oil (藤椒油) -- it adds just the right aroma when paired with the lighter broth. If you enjoy a bit of numbing spice , try adding just a little -- it goes a long way. We weren't too hungry this time -- one adult had about a pound of food, which felt just right. Not too much, no waste. Overall, the soup bases here lean on the lighter side, which is great for when you want something warm and satisfying without feeling heavy. Next time, I'm planning to try their spicy broth options to see if they're just as good.

    Beef Bone Broth

    Walking in, we were greeted warmly and directed to pick our hotpot ingredients. I love that they have the bowl sanitizer in the front so you know their equipment is cleaned. You also get your own individual tongs to pick your items with. Selection is pretty good - veggies, noodles, tofu, meats, etc. FYI, though, the veggies are located next to the raw meat, so there is potential for cross contamination. The beef bone broth was very tasty - my friends got the spicy beef bone broth at medium level and the sour spicy beef broth. The bowls were big enough to have leftover for later.

    New Malatang spot! The price here is standard at $15 per pound and I really like how many options they have at the sauce bar. The meat selection is more limited compared to other Malatang places as they just have beef and lamb. I also usually get a side of rice instead of noodles with my soup, but they don't offer rice here. I really liked the broths I tried, as they had some unique flavors that stood out from other Malatang places. They also gave us complimentary dessert which was very tasty!

    My first time trying malatang! Upon entering, there is a sauce station to diy your own sauce in front and then sanitized bowls and tongs on the right inside the cabinet. There was a lot of options to choose from - meat, noodles, veggies, seafood, tofu, eggs, even you tiao (油條 - fried chinese breadstick). They measure by weight at $14.99/lb. I got the beef bone broth and my friend got spicy beef bone, it was yummy! Decor is also super cute inside.

    Does the price per pound include the weight of the broth? Thanks.

    no it doesn't. Just the weight of the ingredients.

I don't remember much about the place so I got no positive or negative experiences I can compare to this visit. I have been to many similar buffets all over Northern California so my expectations are not too high here. My first attack was the sushi bar. Very good sushi selection for lunch. Comparable Tomi and World Gourmet Buffet in Fremont. No complaints. Made my way to the hot foods. Some familiar and some different items. First time seeing curry beef. The stir fry rice noodle they had was bland so I put the curry over it. It was good, I got a second helping. They had a pork ribs soup with either wintermelon or radish, couldn't tell what it was but it gave the soup some sweetness to it. If you're Asian you might have had it at home. It is light and soothing. Different than the usual hot and sour soup which they had but I skipped. Those were the two items I wanted to talk about in my review as no other Asian buffet had these. There are other typical items, aren't much different from other places so I'll keep this short. Must finish your meal with soft serve ice cream! It's comparable to McDonald's just doesn't have the strong vanilla flavor McDonald's has. I got a second cone for the road. I will come back one more time with my dad as he loves buffet like I do.

Maybe avoid the cook oysters, my brother and I both had one and got sick from it. My mother ate the same food except the oysters and she was fine. The one thing I liked was that food stayed decently warm. Service was nice

We came on Saturday evening and they had just run out of biryani which made me SO sad but it's a good reason to come back! It's spacious with plenty of seating so would be great for bigger parties too. My bf has a nut allergy so we could only order the andhra chicken curry and the goat curry (which are the same, btw just different meats.) The flavor was truly flavor-ing, and it had just the right amount of kick. I loved the spiciness!! Only note, there were quite a bit of bones in both entrees and I'm taking off a star for this. In the chicken especially, it seemed there were more bones than actual meat which was sad because the chicken was SUPER tasty. Tender and juicy and held the curry just perfect. The naan was also delicious as I prefer a thinner, flakier naan and they delivered! Also you MUST get the mango lassi here, they didn't skimp on the mango and it's the perfect reprieve from the spicy meal Will definitely be back to try their biryanis.

    I've passed this restaurant multiple times and finally got around to trying it on a Friday night…read more We waited 10 minutes for a seat at the bar. The inside is quite packed and very clean. There are many tables and 10 or so seats at the sushi bar. Upon sitting, we had our drink orders taken immediately. There are daily specials posted on the board, one paper menu for nigiri, rolls, and hand rolls as well as a regular appetizer and entree menu. I ordered the sushi special which was an assortment of nigiri with a fatty tuna roll. Every slice of fish was fresh, buttery, and had the perfect amount of rice. The bluefin tuna nigiri melted in my mouth I wish I ordered more. A standout for us was the Toni special roll which has your choice of fish inside with seared salmon and scallop on the outside. Needless to say, the service, the speed at which the food was served, and the quality of fish were fantastic. Easily one of the best quality sushi spots close to me.

The restaurant was mostly empty during the weeknight. Started off with the miso soup and it was pretty watered down, unlike the ones I've had in Japan. Moved on to the Salmon Nitsuke and it was ok. The belly parts were fatty and the other pieces were rather dry...bummer. The Tomi Sushi roll was the highlight with super fresh scallops and spicy tuna topped with some raw onions and aioli. The spinach with seasme paste was lacklustre as the seasme was rather muted...bummer. The Gen Z staff were too excited in helping out which was challenging as I was trying to figure out what to get on the menu...
