    Set with Beef Bone Broth Base 招牌牛骨汤套餐
    Terri S.

    SOO GOOD!! I loaded my bowl up, they had great options compared to other malatang places, and they even had scallops! The beef slices were tender, the broths were delicious, and the sauce bar was perfect with all the best sauces. The worker was very friendly, and they checked up on us. Also, the complimentary tea was sooo good. It was just the right enough amount of sugar. The restaurant is clean, organized, and they buss the tables quickly after guests leave.

    What I liked most about this place is that they cater to vegetarians. I came here on Sunday with my friends and we all enjoyed our hotpots. The service was friendly and they were eager to please. The complementary tea was a bit sweet but it was nice to have a cool drink on such a very hot day. The hotpot was healthy and delicious, I was able to find exactly what I wanted and the environment was so friendly that it makes me want to return.

    After hearing great things and seeing such rave reviews, I was excited to try Mala Town. Unfortunately I found it to be rather disappointing. Let's start with the pros. There's a decent selection of ingredients, everything was well laid out and clean. It's a fun DIY hotpot concept, upon entering just grab a bowl and tongs and fill it up with your desired ingredients. At the checkout counter, weigh the ingredients and choose your broth. It's a nice alternative to AYCE hot pot, especially for those who don't eat that much. Service is minimal as it's primarily DIY, but they were friendly enough and efficient. They cook the food and bring it out to your table. The ingredients were good and I enjoyed the complimentary jasmine tea. The biggest con for me was the broth itself. The broth is really the focal point of hot pot and it can make or break the meal. I got the mild beef bone broth and found it to be very heavy and overly salty. It was creamy which I didn't expect or particularly enjoy. It was also very orange-looking for beef broth. I thought maybe they gave me tom yum by mistake but it didn't taste like tom yum. In addition, it was pretty spicy for a mild broth. I don't think it tasted terrible, it just wasn't to my liking. Too heavy and salty. My partner got the medium dry pot mix and it was also not what either of us expected. All of the ingredients were cooked and then a sesame and peanut sauce mix was just poured over the top, not mixed in at all and did not have the flavor of a dry pot. We expected it to taste a bit more like a stir fry. The sauce poured over the top was very thick and super salty, making it a goopy mess. It was very spicy but lacked flavor, not good at all. After we left I looked at pictures from other reviewers and the dry pot we got looks very different from what others have gotten at this same place. I don't know why it was so different? Overall I liked the concept and fresh ingredients. I'd like to try malatang again but probably somewhere else.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    Very clean and so much fun to select from buffet style ingredients station. Also I loved the selection of different types of broth. Customer service was very helpful and polite. They explain how to make it taste as you like. You don't need to be shy, just ask them, and they will help you . Old building but they keep very clean and spacious. Only problem is very hard to get the parking lot. Space is limited. So be prepared for that.

    This place has it all!! There is so much combinations to choose from. The cold bar of ingredients is always clean and full. The tongs and bowls are always available and clean. The meats are so amazing and I love the fish. They have a pretty good selection of drinks near the cash register. I also love the ability to make my own sauce! That area is also very clean for the most part with occasional spills from customers. They provide cold tea (I think it is jasmine) and cold water with refills. This is one of the favorite places of my girlfriend and I!

    Complimentary sauce station

    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!!!

    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!

    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?

    Amazing ambiance, friendly helpful service, beautiful dishes…read more Both the duck soup and hot and sour soup was delicious. Crispy beef amazing! Peaking duck so good and it made into fried rice after was great. Green beans are solid Lamb chop was actually better than I expected Mopo tofu is different than I'm used to, it's alright, but I wouldn't get it again.

    Came here with a party of six on a Sunday night and there was no wait. The interior design of this…read moreplace is so elegant and beautiful. We didn't end up using the private room and just sat in one of the seats in the main restaurant and it was still a lovely experience. We were impressed with the plates and silverware. So pretty! We ordered: Crispy beef: 10 out of 10 Whole Peking duck: 9 out of 10 (the duck was a little small for the price and when they take the duck back to make your fried rice, I don't believe they use the same duck as the meat was very dry in our fried rice). The duck soup and hot and sour soup were delicious. We really enjoyed the table side experience and the duck wraps. The fried rice was good other than the dry duck pieces. Next time, we would definitely ask them to just leave the whole duck with us and just give us plain fried rice. Green beans: 9 out of 10 (standard.) Mapo tofu: 6 out of 10 (did not like the flavor as much as other restaurants.) Lamb lollipops: 10 out of 10 Seabass clay pot: 6 out of 10 (not worth a price, I've had better.) Old fashioned: too sweet Service was good, and the portions were perfect for six people with six items sharing family style. We all over-ate. Everything was tasty and proteins were cooked perfectly.
