    Dry Mix
    Josh O.

    Parking: located in a strip mall with parking lot in front of restaurant Service: cafeteria style to fill bowl with choice of meats, veg, and starches. You then pay at the cashier and choose your sauce or soup flavor. Staff was friendly and cleaned our table before assigning us. Ambiance: casual Food: Got the savory dry mix, but tried a bit of my parties soups and everything was solid. A great comfort meal post EDC

    Customer service was amazing. Paul took care of us, you can tell her really cares about this business Food is awesome

    I loveeee Mala Town!!! Their 50% off promo was very dangerous for me... HAHA As you line up to select what you'd like to be in your bowl, you'll choose what soup base you'd like at the counter as it gets weighed, and once you are seated, there is a bar for you to create your own sauce next to complimentary water and tea. I like the set up of the restaurant! Not only is the food delicious (I personally love the Mild Signature Beef Bone Broth but also have been getting the Sweet & Sour Tomato), the service is always great, and during the super busy times, seating can become limited, but I would say that seating is usually available. Parking may become sparse because of the lot it is in alongside other hotspots in the plaza.

    This was such a chill and easy place to get Malatang! They had a variety of options for you to include in your Malatang which I liked. The service was quite friendly too, giving us complimentary drinks. The Malatang itself was filling and tasty, especially with their various options. I enjoyed the meat and cheese balls I had in mine. I'd recommend for any Malatang cravings.

    Come to Mala Town now for discount! Mala town has been my go to spot for amazing hot pot that is fully customizable. I love getting the tomato soup base because it is so sweet and tangy that pairs well with a lot of the vegetable toppings. Service is quick, as you pick and grab your toppings then take it to the counter. They have a sauce bar where you can get your spice fixing from chili oil, garlic, chili flakes, etc. Limited time they are offering 50% off every Tuesday and Wednesday!

    Craving soup and found this gem that offers so many options and best of all you choose your ingredients that you want in your soup. The flavors of all different soup base are very delicious. I got the Tom Yum and had all the flavor you need to pair with any protein and vegetables. Everything in the soup building station looks clean and fresh. When we got to the cashier, she helped us with any questions and also helped us with making a decision with our soup base. Jasmine was at the cashier and she was very helpful and friendly and made the experience at Mala Town so much better and welcoming! Can't wait to be back!!!

    All over tik tok I see ppl go to build your own hot pot. Cant lie I got severe fomo so I NEEDED to try at least once in my life and I pleasantly had driven to this place. Me and some friends were a lil bit confused on what to do at first as there is nowhere in AZ where we can build our own hot pot but Paul was so kind and showed us how the hot pot process works . We were given a bowl and began loading up. We were told most ppl get 1.5 lbs typically. The bowls are priced via weight with that being $15.99/lb. Yeah I love this. I was so excited I was grab happy and ended up with 2.8lbs regardless I was happy. Everyone I was with all got different broths one being the Szechuan and another being Bone broth. Both were so delicious. We were assigned a table the cooked our hot pot in the back and was brought to our table. My brother unfortunately had been grab crazy and got 5lbs but even after we finished all our food he was happy he could take it home and keep eating. (Mind you we still had to drive to AZ by the time we got back ME AND MY FRIEND DEVOUREDDDDD EVERY SINGLE BUT THAT WAS LEFT). I think me saying I love this place is an understatement I LIVE LAUGH LOVE ESPECIALLY ADORE MALA TOWN The staff members were all so kind and funny. Paul for sure made our experience the best. We told him we come to Vegas often and now this will be our go to. So thank you Mala town for the amazing food and hospitality. a huge thank you from my belly cuz now I craveeeeee mala town. YYAYAYAYAYAYA I LOVE MALA TOWN

    Busy Plaza in Chinatown is where you'll find mala town. Parking was a bit tight but cars are going in and out quickly so you'll eventually find out. Mad line and crowd inside the restaurant means good business! We grabbed our bowls and tongs and added everything to be made with the spicy Bone broth. Their spicy is very spicy so he aware. While seated and sipping on complementary water and ice tea, our bowls got served. While piping hot, we started denting the bowl. Super hot (temp) and spicy (spice) yet delicious but we couldn't finish so took left overs to go. Grab your own Togo containers, utensils, and bags. Will be back soon!

    Came here during EDC weekend and it was packed. It's a self serve restaurant where you pick your own toppings and then they boil it into your choice of broth. I like that they were well organized when seating people after they've ordered. There's a sauce bar at the end of the room for your meal. My tomato broth was a bit watered down.

    Mala Town is a buffet style hot pot where you pick your own ingredients from vegetables to protein and choose a soup base and they cook it for you. Really fun concept with great variety. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Great experience overall and definitely planning to go back soon.

    I see why this place is so highly rated by so many people! I love how you can pick so many different meat, vegetable, and soup options. Skip getting the corn on the cob because it is pretty heavy, so opt for the baby corn. The line went by fast and the food also came out quick. I recommend getting the signature bone broth. I also love how there is a tea option for drinks and lemon water. There are a bunch of seats and tables inside. The workers were all very nice especially the cashier! The bottled drinks on the shelves are also very good.

    food, ambiance, and service were all 10/10. There were so many options and all the ingredients were super fresh. The soup was also really yummy. I'm not usually the type to write a review but Jasmine was so incredibly kind. She's either the owner or their very best employee ever. Her hospitality and friendliness made the experience extremely enjoyable. It's just a bit off the strip but it's a calm place to have a hearty dinner. I hope she gets to open a shop in hawaii soon!

    This place is mid. The beef came from the F1 track because it can support the cars with how rough and tough it is. They have the nerve to charge $$$$$$ and have not even CHOICE BEEF. THEY ARE LITTERALLY USING THE WORAT BEEF POSSIBLE. $160. Go SOMEWHERE ELSE. Service was good the kid was super nice

    Is there gluten free options?

    Are there VEGGIE Broth options?

    Yes. They have a tomato broth option which is sweet I believe.

    As someone with a severe shellfish allergy, is there any shellfish mixed into the broth choices?

    Hi, We cook each bowl with separate pot and for the broth , no shellfish mixed. Thanks

    Do you have to pay for the other ingredients or you only have to pay 15$ only?

    It’s weight by pound. 14.99/ibs for all ingredients

    Do you have to select type of noodles and are the noodles weighed too?

    You select for a wide variety of different toppings, veggies, proteins, and noodles before everything is weighed together. Then you select your broth and enjoy. You can even order rice on the side if you prefer that instead of noodles.

    Do they offer rice?

    Yes: they do

The first time we ordered the duck, fried rice, the salted egg yolk prawns, noodles, the eggplant (my favorite). I loved everything except the duck. I did not enjoy that as it was a little too far from the roasted duck I was expecting. The service is friendly for a Chinese restaurant and the food comes fast and piping hot and I really enjoy that you can see the chefs making your food. It really adds to the ambiance and know that your food is freshly made. After watching some videos of what other people liked to order, I decided to get the crispy beef and that single dish is life changing. If you order nothing else at chinamama, order the crispy beef. Its sweet. Its savory. Its crispy. Its honestly perfect. If I were to only eat that and the eggplant for the rest of my life, I would be happy.

We ordered the two-item combo with roasted duck and honey-glazed BBQ pork, along with wonton soup and chow mein. Everything was delicious, especially the duck. The wonton soup was also very flavorful, although I wish it had come with a few more wontons. I also thought the vegetables paired really well with the meals. The restaurant is a bit small and cramped, so it may not be the best place to dine with a large group. The service was quick, although we did feel a little rushed, likely because of the limited seating. Overall, the food was excellent, and I'll definitely be back.

My first impression was really positive. The restaurant has a modern, stylish vibe, and the interior is beautiful. I also loved the tableware--the plates and chopsticks were really nice and added to the overall dining experience. We had a large group and reserved the private dining room, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. As for the food, it was decent but didn't really stand out, especially for the price. We ordered around 8 dishes (you can see them in my photos). The crab was a little disappointing because the meat was quite dry. On the other hand, the fried eggplant and the king prawn were both excellent and ended up being the highlights of the meal. The rest of the dishes were good, but nothing really wowed us or made us feel like we'd come back just for the food. Overall, I think you're paying a bit of a premium for the beautiful environment, modern atmosphere, and comfortable dining experience. If you're looking for a nice place for a family gathering or dinner with friends, this is a solid choice. The ambiance definitely adds to the experience, even if the food itself wasn't especially memorable.

It is located in the Trop Plaza on Tropicana Ave and Decatur Blvd. Plenty of parking. Spacious inside with lots of seating. Klaws and other games were near the entrance which I find interesting especially in a Chinese restaurant. We were greeted and seated right away. They weren't super busy on a Monday late morning. Our server was pleasant and amicable. He attended to us frequently throughout our dining. Other lady servers brought us our food timely. Thank you All! Menu offers quite a variety... reg dim sum, delicious dim sum, chef specialties, house specialties, super dim sum, vegan no-meat dim sum, congee, noodles, rice dishes, appetizers, entrees, lunch specials, and more. Prices of the dim sum vary from $5.98 and up. We chose a handful of dim sum and one Shrimp & Pork Wonton Egg Noodles. Overall, dim sum was decent. A few of them could have been better in preparation, flavor, and taste. Wonton noodles were tasty. *Bean Sauce Chicken Feet - skin was on the tougher side, could have been more tender, sauce was too thick, flavor was okay *Crispy Taro Pancake - top layer was crispy, but taro fell apart when picked up by chopsticks *Egg Tarts - light and flaky crust with soft, smooth & jiggly egg custard filling, amazingly good, definitely would get again, wished it came with 3 instead of 2, they are bigger than normal egg tarts, but still *Fried Pork Ball - just okay, nothing special *Golden Sand Lava - huge baked bun with lots of oozing sandy egg yolk, must get! *Shrimp Dumpling - full of shrimps in thin skin, tasty filling, good size, worth the price! *Shrimp & Pork Chives Dumpling - more chives than shrimp and pork, flavor was mediocre *Shrimp & Pork Shumai - surprisingly flavorful, but wished there was more shrimp than pork Glad we got a chance to try this place. I would return to try their other dim sum and lunch specials in future LV visits. Worth stopping by if you haven'ty already.

Tripe stew had good flavor but texture was mushy (passed the point of tender) Service was fine, staff was available when needed, but overall felt quality/ambiance could be better. Maybe better during prime time or breakfast.

It can be pricey, depending how much you order, but totally worth it. Would very much recommend & would definitely return. * Final Grade: A+ or 9.6/10
