Lai Lai Malatang

Best malaxiangguo in NOVA. It is very authentic, full of flavour and good quality. Everything in the malaxiangguo is well cooked and very tasty. The sesame source is also the best I have ever had. Owner is also very friendly.

Delicious malatang and very friendly owner. I liked that it was not self-serve and likely more sanitary than regular malatang. Also such a treat that they had 锅包肉, a specialty from my family’s region in China. It was so delicious and fresh, and we loved it!

Yesterday I ordered mala tang and guo bao rou. Both were so delicious. The owner was very friendly. I wish they would open a store in Centerville too.

This place is inside the 99 Ranch Asian grocery store. We were browsing pork buns next door but when we saw Malatang, we just had to try it. The staff didn't speak English that well but at least he was able to take our order correctly. It strangely gave me a good vibe because I felt like the food would be authentic. I was correct! The Malatang was quite good but it's not the best I've had. For a grocery store restaurant, I'd rate this Malatang 7/10. The base taste is there. I didn't like that I had to pick the ingredients. I didn't know how much of what was enough. I was just checking boxes and we had a language barrier. It turned out I had too many noodles and not a lot of other ingredients. Maybe I'll get it right next time. The wait time was quite reasonable for freshly cooked food! The

The best Malatang in Town!!! Lai Lai Malatang is a great spot for flavorful, spicy street style hot pot. You choose your own ingredients and they cook it fresh—perfectly numbing and satisfying. The broth is rich, the portions are generous, and it’s super convenient. Great spot for a quick, comforting meal!
