Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"So glad this place opened up just a block down from the other Malatang place. Came here trying the tomato broth once and had to come back another time. Their tomato broth is creamy and full of flavor, and reminds me of those high end hot pot places where their broth just hits. Super fresh ingredients and they have a sauce bar so I’m sold!!! With any Malatang place you gotta be a pro at how much you put into your bowl or you will be spending more than $20. The second time I came in, they were quite packed on a Sunday evening. Coming back to try their other broths for sure."
"They have a sauce bar and ice cream!!! Lots of toppings to choose from I had the basic broth and it was pretty rich. Highly recommend malatang place to try!"
"Kind of like a buffet concept of grabbing your veggies, protein, and noodles. You get to choose the soup base and it is charged by the pound. I didn’t know what to expect but wow the broth was so refreshing! This is the perfect place to get away during the winter and warm up with delicious soup. Overall, very happy with this place!"
"The environment is sparkling clean and the service was great. We actually prefer the flavor here over YGF; the broth is richer and smoother, but it doesn't leave you feeling heavy afterward. Great job!"
"The bone broth is super good. It might be my new favorite broth. And they give you a good amount of it. There’s no spice levels so you’ll have to add peppers accordingly. I with they had more items to choose from, that is my only knock on it. When I went it was between lunch and dinner and they brought out the 3 meats from the freezer I’m guessing to keep them fresh instead of sitting in the refrigerator? A lot of handwritten notes here which leads me to believe it’s a mom and pop operation and a no frills menu. No dry style like most malangtang. Sauce bar has all the basics. Parking is so so in the area but free 2hr street parking. Overall the broth to me is one of the best and the amount of soup they give you is more than other places which are the bright notes and the draw to this place."
"Stunningly good. I had the bone broth (spicy) and my friends had curry. Everything was delicious. Loved the toppings & sauces as well. As with any malatang place be mindful of the weight of what you're adding to your bowl; I spent $17 while my friend (first timer) accidentally spent nearly $40 Service was great, above average ambiance for a fast casual place and again, the quality of the food was amazing."
"Great place to go on a cold afternoon. The broth was rich and satisfying. Very welcoming stall and a very clean dining area."
"Food selection is pretty good. I was hoping the broth would be more spicy, I got the spiciest level on the beef bone broth. The sauce bar was a bit lacking as well. The soup and food were very good overall. Quick service. Friendly staff."
