Mala Town

I've been here twice and personally, I am not a fan of their mala tang soup base. However, their other dishes on the menu are soooo insanely delicious. I've had the braised pork belly over rice in the past and the pork belly is so tender (could be more tender tho!) Recently, i tried the dry noodle w mushroom beef sauce and the mushroom+beef were so flavorful. There's also a kick of spice in the dish that's not too strong. It's a perfect amount of spice. I also love how the vegetables on the side are sliced so thinly. I will say, it was a bit too oily and made my lips feel like an oil-fill for a bit but nonetheless, I'd still come back!

Very affordable. I come here with my friends and it’s always nice. There’s a variety of options to order except for the soup options, but that’s okay since I always stick to the tomato soup base. The only downside is that they don’t give you a lot of noodles. Instead, I typically always see a lot of toppings. They give you such little noodles that you can’t even see it when you first receive your bowl. (For the photos I had to scoop the noodles up)

Got the signature spicy soup and service was quick and friendly! Took a star off though because they didn’t give me any noodles 🥲

Tried Mala Town today for the first time and I enjoyed my experience! The restaurant is nicely decorated, clean, and the menus are extremely easy to read/understand. The prices are fair and the amount of food I got in my customized bowl was great. If you're craving hotpot, a custom noodle bowl can help that craving! We also got the pork soup dumplings. The skin is a bit thick but the pork and soup inside was flavorful and they did give the black vinegar and ginger to accompany it.

Really tasty spot for pork and mushroom dry noodles! The flavors were great, but topping to noodle noodle ratio felt a bit off. The cold jellyfish salad had the perfect balance of tangy vinegar and heat. It was super refreshing and flavorful

Price affordable and food delicious. It is a very good place to hang out with friends. Their service is excellent. Seems like they are always ready for a chitchat and giving customized recommendations.

A decent restaurant, the staff is sweet and lovely. They give us a student discount like 10 percent off if you have student ID. The food at the restaurant is not really authentic but good enough for us to enjoy. Me and my friend order a bunch of stuff and the price came out least than 100 dollars for four people so the price is good.
