    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.

It had a great mala flavor with a subtle numbing sensation, and the peanuts added a nice crunch and texture to the dish. The Tianjin Eggplant was simple but delicious, with flavorful pork that paired really well with the soft eggplant. Overall, the food here is comforting and satisfying.

I really loved the Mongolian beef, and the eggplant dish we got was good too. The chow mein was good. I did like the cucumber salad, but it would be better if it were sliced smaller, so the marinade could infuse the cucumbers. Service was friendly. Food was very fresh. I did notice the portion sizes were generous and we had plenty of leftovers!

WHAT AYCE Indian food from northern and southern India: chicken, fish, lamb, vegan, appetizers, desserts (plural!). Delicious! We tried stuff that we might never order in a regular Indian restaurant. COST $25 weekdays $28 weekends is VERY REASONABLE to me for a place that has no limit on what you can consume. We went on a Friday night, no time limit for us, but if they are super crowded I can see how they might put a time limit. FOOD 10/10 I wish I took a picture of the buffet line but I didn't want to be weird. There were so many choices, and several dessert items too, including soft serve ice cream, this place is a gem.

Like most Indian Buffets, they bring the Naan to your table, so it's fresh and this version was pretty good. They also brought Dosa (I hadn't had before) which was good at first, but I guess you have to eat it hot. The food wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible either, kinda like the OG Sizzler. I had a couple of plates of food and nothing really stood out. They had about 10 different choices for food, some cold items, and some desserts. The setup seemed like they didn't really remodel the space for a buffet. I don't think I'd go back based on the price and the quality. But it was quick and easy which is what I was looking for.

Skip Fogo de Chao cuz it doesn't come close…read more Here's the rundown: you're seated, greeted with fresh cheese bread, order your drinks, take a lap around the salad bar, and then it's off to the races. Once you flip that coaster to green, the parade of meat begins. At around $80 per person before tax and tip, you'll absolutely get your money's worth. The ambiance was excellent. Live piano music set the mood without being overpowering, the lighting was just right, and there was never an awkward bottleneck at the salad bar. Everything felt well organized, which made the experience surprisingly relaxed for such a busy restaurant at peak dinnertime. Now for the important part: the food. They started us off with their gold foil-wrapped tableside top sirloin. A little gimmicky? Sure. But it was delicious and made for a great benchmark against the rest of the meats. One thing I really appreciated was the lack of "filler meats." I genuinely enjoyed almost every cut that came around. A few were slightly salty, and a couple leaned a bit tough, but overall the quality was consistently high. Ironically the servers walking with the filler stuff were the friendliest of the staff and never pressured you to get them (grilled cheese, pork sausage, chicken, etc) Over the course of the meal I had filet mignon, several varieties of top and bottom sirloin, beef ribs, lamb chops, multiple picanha preparations, and even shrimp. I counted 16 servings of meat--probably somewhere around 2,000 calories if I had to guess. Surprisingly, my favorite item wasn't even the beef, it was the grilled pineapple. Juicy, perfectly glazed, warm, and just sweet enough to reset your palate between heavier cuts. I went back for seconds without hesitation. Hell at the end of dinner, it made me crave pineapple juice. Do not sleep on this. As for the meats, the beef ribs, spicy picanha, and bottom sirloin were the standouts: incredibly tender, flavorful, and worth saving room for. By the end I was so full that dessert wasn't even a consideration. I don't see myself coming here every month, but it's one of those dining experiences everyone should try at least once. If you're celebrating something or just want to spend two hours eating an unreasonable amount of excellent meat, this is the place to do it. 4/5 for food, rounding up for attentive service and fun experience. Would recommend.

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.
