This place serves pretty good Shanghainese food…read more I would most recommend the potstickers, the curry beef noodle soup, and the pan fried pork buns. Each of these taste delicious and are close to matching what you might find in a restaurant in Shanghai. Many of the other dishes are quite good as well. I enjoyed the Shanghai shu mai, the shrimp, and the green beans. The smashed cucumber salad was a little too heavy on the garlic for my liking, but it was still pretty fresh and crisp. And the lion's head meatballs didn't have egg inside (good, in my opinion) but were too soft and crumbly. There are highlight dishes and also ones that I would rather get elsewhere. The prices are a little inflated, but it's hard to do significantly better in SF. Overall, it's a nice addition to the bustling collection of Chinese restaurants on Geary.

Even though they weren't the best ramen I've had in SF, I was actually kind of bummed when I…read morediscovered that Fuku Ramen had closed. For one, it's always unfortunate when a solid ramen joint closes, but it also felt like they weren't here for all that long! However, I have to say - all of those feelings of disappointment dissipated pretty quickly when I saw that Mulan Malatang had taken their place! Especially since there are even fewer malatang restaurants around! Stepping inside, Mulan Malatang is quite similar to what Fuku Ramen was like, with its wealth of tables and chill vibes. However, the thing that stood out the most was their selection of offerings. Across their two refrigerated units, they have so much to offer - napa cabbage, yu choy, spinach, daisy crown, tofu, fish balls, fried tofu, egg pudding, king crown mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, lamb, beef, wagyu, mussels, fish filet, shrimp, ramen, egg noodles, vermicelli, quail eggs, and so much more. What's more, the quality of everything looks fantastic and they have four different types of soup broth to choose from with a few different spice levels. -- PORK BONE BROTH (Mild) with Lamb, Wagyu Beef, Fish Balls with Roe, Beef Balls, Yu Choy, Napa Cabbage, Enoki Mushrooms, Shirataki Noodles, and Ramen Noodles Aside from how I wish I had gone with "medium" spicy, this was pretty good! The broth had a nice porky flavor to it, the lamb and wagyu beef were of surprisingly good quality, the veggies were fresh and clean, and the noodles had a nice bite to them. -- PORK BONE BROTH WITH BLACK GARLIC (Medium) with Wagyu Beef, Lamb, Frozen Fish, Quail Eggs, Yu Choy, Crown Daisy, Tofu, King Oyster Mushrooms, Rice Cakes, and Ramen Noodles Not quite as garlicky as I had hoped for, but the amount it had and the additional spice in this helped a lot. I also really liked the frozen fish filets and rice cakes, but absolutely skip the King Oyster Mushrooms, as the stems were insanely tough to bite through. Since I haven't been to many malatang restaurants (yet), I can't say how Mulan Malatang compares across the board. However, from what I've seen, they seem to be one of the better values, as their price feels fair ($16.99/lb) and they're even currently offering a can of Sapporo for just $1 (dine-in only, limit one per customer). Add to that how the quality of most of their offerings seems to be pretty good and they definitely provide a solid bang for your buck. If I did have to come up with a knock on this place, it would be that neither of the broths that I've tried so far have been as interesting or dynamic as the one I had at YGF Malatang at Serramonte. Combine that broth with everything else that Mulan Malatang has to offer and this would easily be a five star review! Not that FOUR AND A HALF STARS rounded up is anything to scoff at.

Water & hot tea are self-serve. They don't have a huge selection of ingredients but the essentials were there. I got the pork bone broth with black garlic at a medium spice level - I liked the broth and it wasn't so spicy. The inside is spacious, and service was friendly. It was pretty warm inside the restaurant and also very quiet. Finding street parking nearby was relatively easy.

I ordered takeout and built the 麻辣烫 bowl with non-spicy tomato soup base, fish fillet, squid, quail eggs, seaweed, lotus root, and bok choy.

Good portion of meat and rice and kimchi you won't go hungry I ordered organic black tea with salted crema. Not sure if it was my favorite. I asked for 75 percent sugar and when I drank it it was sweet enough in the sense it is between two categories. It would be too sweet in the Chinese asian palate but just a hint of sweetness in the American standard. Also, I don't know what type of crema sugar they use but it might have something to do with tropical or coconut type sugar? Because the tea itself is only mildly flavored bitterness if it was tea on the regular right? Idk the tropical or crema flavored taste overpowered the tea flavor. Ambiance no frills only a few tables and it was not busy on Monday lunch time so no worries on not having a table to sit in. Again. The gentleman that was there was super helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was good. The drink itself has enough sweetness that I was good with. I go for the more sweeter side of things. I appreciate the hospitality!
