I am a big fan of this place, my friends and I have been coming here weekly. This is perfect for when you are craving something like hot pot but am not wanting to go to a place that's all you can eat. I enjoy how it is pay by weight and that it comes to your table already cooked. I always get the Malatang (#1) level 2 spice and it's is the perfect level of spice and flavor to the point where it is not a painful spice. The service here is good, no complaints here. As for the restaurant itself the dining area is spacious. I don't think I've ever seen this place packed but I think it's also so hidden. Overall, I love this place and can't get enough of it. read more

Sorimmara - Carrollton - Chinese Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

As a typical malatang restaurant, there is a bowl building area where you can pick your veggies, meat, noodles, etc. I like their options here as there are more Korean style fish and rice cakes. The process is easy, but it may be a little confusing as a first timer due to the setup. When you bring your bowl of ingredients to the register, you need to remember your table number which is a little annoying; They seat you down without telling you a number but ask for it later? It's like a guessing game. The pricing here is not bad at all, but they require you to have a pound (lbs) at the least. Some may not like that but I do not mind. There are options for soup type and my favorite is rosé mala because this is the only place that does it, and it is so good!!! There are also options from the menu that you can order such as rice balls and fried shrimp but malatang is the main appeal. read more

Sorimmara - Carrollton - Rosé malatang - Chinese Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

Really enjoyed trying out Sorimmara! Similar to the other malatang places where you pick which ingredients you want and the price is by weight. They offer malatang and the dry version, but also unique flavors like rose too! They also have a sauce bar stocked with everything you need. The malatang comes out with a wax burner to keep your food hot while you eat. I like that the interior is huge and clean. They also have big tv screens so you can watch videos as you eat. Great spot to hangout with friends. read more

Great place to make your personal hotpot and/or stirfry. There are 5 different ways to prepare your fixings which you start off with a bowl and grab all the things you want cooked in it. Be careful! It is weighed by the pound, so it can get pretty pricey the more your eyes are hungry. There are other things on the menu to order if you don't want to do a personal pot. The waitress was very helpful on helping what to do and how to order. Nice big restaurant that can fit a lot of people inside with a cool vibe playing all kinds of asian pop music. Overall cool experience! read more

If you've been wanting to try Malatang in Dallas, Sorimmara is the place to visit! I visited for dinner around 9pm with a group of 6 people. It wasn't busy and they had plenty of tables. Once we got our table, we went to the self serving station where you grab a bowl and fill it up with everything you want for your stir fry dry noodle or soup. You are required to get at least 1lb of food so be aware!!! They had an array of meat, veggies, and noodles in stock. Once you fill up your bowl, you take it to the cash register to weigh where your bowl is priced per lb. You also choose what mala flavor you want for your bowl. After you pay, you can go to the self serve sauce bar to make your own dipping sauce if you would like. Their rose mala xiang guo is my favorite! It's a stir fry with a cream sauce that is packed full of flavorful! Their malatang soup is also delicious; both have a strong szechuan flavor. I love spicy food and their spicy lvl 4 is pretty hot. Next time, I will stick to a spicy lvl 3 as it's more comfortable to eat. I've also tried their tomato xiang guo and it reminds me of spaghetti - strong tomato flavor (good but not a favorite). We also tried their cream shrimp guobaorou. The shrimp was nice and crispy and came with a sweet mayo sauce. I got a little over 1 lb of food and it was enough for me to take home as leftovers. Overall, the food was very tasty and I would recommend trying them for malatang! They are open 7 days a week and until 11pm! read more

Finally, Sorimmara is in Carrollton and I went on its first day to experience Korean styled mala dishes after trying in Korea. I tried mala xiang guo and pork guo bao rou while others tried malatang. I got mine in level 3 and I perfectly enjoyed mine. If you are not good at spicy, I'd recommend 2 or even 1. There is a sauce bar where you can follow the recommended sauces or create your own. Their Medal Sauce which is sweet and spicy sauce was really good, but their peanut sesame sauce (with chopped green onion and slight chili oil) was my favorite and it went well with my mala xiang guo. They have fresh ingredients when I went except meat were all frozen. Overall, it is my favorite mala spot! I can't really say the service was great since it was their first day of soft opening and everybody was just getting adjusted. One down side was the music - way too loud for me. It was stressing me out. I will be definitely returning, but mostly for take out if the music is blasting outrageously. read more

I finally tried mala here and I loved it! I love that they have so many various ingredients that you can choose for your own mala soup. I would come back with my friends here! read more

One of my favorite new restaurants in the Carrollton area! This was my first time trying a Korean-style Mala and it was great. You build your own Mala bowl (price depends on weight) and there is a huge variety of veggies, meat, and toppings for you put into your bowl. From there, you tell the person at the counter what Mala flavor you'd like + the spice level. The staff is very friendly and offered suggestions and modifications when needed. Aside from the bowls, there are lots of appetizers and side dishes to choose from - we got the tteokbokki and it was great with a good portion. The restaurant itself has ample seating, so you should be able to get a table no issue. Highly recommend especially if you like spicy foods! read more

My family and I went to this new Korean style malatang restaurant in Korea town. You pick out what veggies, meats, and other items you want in a bowl and then tell them how you want to cook it and what spice level you want. They charge you based on weight. My goal was to get the bare minimum of 1 pound and ended up getting 1.5 pounds... so make sure you keep weighing to make sure you don't go over by a lot i got the rosé mala xiang guo. My mom got the jjajang mala xiang guo and my dad got the regular malatang. The malatang is soup based while the xiang guo is stir fried. They do add numbing peppers so that kind of threw me off a bit. Overall I liked the rosé one the most. I really recommend the curry ball and sausages. The tteokbokki (rice cakes) were just ok to me. They also have a sauce bar where you can make your own sauce or any of their premade recommendations. Overall I thought it was good but I prefer a place where you don't pay by weight. The portions are huge though (maybe bc I went over on my target weight oops), you can definitely share one bowl between 2 ppl read more

The soup broth was good! We walked in and they walked us through the process of grabbing a big clear bowl to fill up whatever we would like in our soup broth. Then you weigh the bowl at the end of the line and they will bring out the hot pot to our table. One bit of an inconvenience is the Bunsen Burner is not hot enough and doesn't stay burning long enough. I would prefer this to be a buffet at the amount of money we paid for 2 people. read more

Sorimmara - Carrollton - Their soup base was good. Medium Spicy is not spicy at all. - Chinese Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

I stopped by Sorimmara on a whim after seeing they were finally open. I got the malatang, which you build yourself at the bar and pay for by weight, as well as the cream shrimp dish since they were offering 50% off if you followed their Instagram. The soup base was super good, it was perfectly spicy at level 2. The malatang has peanuts by default, but they have a sign by the register disclosing this and stating they can be removed. I appreciated this as someone who has food allergies because it can be tricky navigating menus sometimes. The atmosphere was lively, they played kpop and had music videos projecting on the wall. The service was super great, I was promptly seated and was frequently checked in on during my meal. Staff also went out of their way to show me the different recipes listed on the wall of the sauce bar, and showed me how to control the flame on the soup. Overall I had a great visit and can't wait to come back with friends! read more

First of all, I don't write reviews too often, but the service here was exceptional yesterday, so I am inclined to say something. The workers were so helpful and kind as it was my first time visiting this type of restaurant. They guided me on what food offerings to put in my bowl and what flavor broth to choose as it is different from other shabu shabu/hot pot style places I have been before. For me, I chose the number 2 level of spiciness, which was perfect for my liking and the flavors reminded me of a mix of cham pong and ramen, which I love. Make sure to put some korean sausages in. I also ordered the cream shrimp goubaorou dish, which was exceptional. They use potato flower that made it crispy and chewy at the same time. The sauce flavor was similar to honey walnut shrimp dishes I had before, but the texture and crunch made it one of my favorite dishes. Overall, I had a great experience here and will definitely be back when I'm in the area. Make sure to ask for Alina as she made my family, and I feel so welcomed and created a comfortable atmosphere. Great job guys! read more

I went with two friends and it was one of the worst experience I've had a restaurant. I ordered a rosé xiang guo but they gave a me a mala tang. When I told the waiter the order was wrong, they took the boiled ingredients and stir fried it without giving me the option of getting new ingredients. My friend order a mala fried rice and they put the plastic plate on a burner. The plastic parts splattered all over her and the worker didn't do anything about it. She just took it off the burner. On the other hand, our mala tang and xiang guo burner was never lit. All of these mistakes were responded with the service of two drinks, worth $5 dollars ($5 dollars for 6 at H-mart), and we paid the full price of $90. read more

Our party had someone very allergic to peanuts. The sign that says that there's peanut sauce in the broth is on the scale so when you put your bowl on the scale you can't see the warning. The person at the cashier didn't warn us either. We had to get a second bowl without the peanuts but it came out with peanuts anyways, so the restaurant gave us the second bowl for free and we got a third bowl. However, we suspect there may have been cross contamination because after taking allergy medicine she didn't get better. I think the restaurant needs to take a stronger initiative to warn people about the peanuts. The food was good and the servers and managers were nice, so it's a shame the at we had this experience. read more

It was so delicious. In particular, I highly recommend the guobaorou type. Hygiene is also very clean read more

Loved this place. The hot pot with heat is great but the noodles tend to overcook quickly. We loved the sauce bar. There are a lot of great protein options but I felt the variety and freshness of veggies wasn't as good as other places in the area. read more

I was on biz trip in the area and happened to stop by during the soft opening day 8/16. The ambiance is modern, roomy and clean so it was easy to go around without bump into others. I ordered Malatang and cream shrimp Guobaorou. Mala soup base here is different than other Mala restaurants. In this place you can drink soup base and it was so good!!!.( most Mala places are not easy to drink soup due to its very spicy and oily flavor). The cream shrimp Guobaorou has nice texture like Moch, sauce was really good and has good size shrimp. I cant wait for trying other menu in next time.. read more

Probably one of the best mala I had in a long time. Highly recommend this place. The staff were nice, and the mala was super fresh.

Food & service were very good! Best Mala place in DFW. Willing to come again soon. Mala level two was good but will try level three next time!!! read more
