Mala Mini

I can’t really eat spicy food so I tried level 1 the first time and it was still too spicy for me. I asked for not spicy the 2nd time and I liked it a lot as the broth has a hint of peanut favor. You can ask for some spicy sauce on the side. Minimum 1 pound of veggies/meat. The place was clean and service was good. It might be hard to find parking though

Real good Mala food at a convenience location. Food was fresh, made ready to order at the spot. Clean and well kept. Definitely going back again

My husband and I love a good choose-your-own-adventure type of meal, and this looked right up our alley. We felt a little turned around since everyone else seemed to know what to do and it was clearly our first time, but the guy at the counter was quick to explain how things work: Grab a clean pair of tongs and a bin to collect all of the fixings. There's lots to choose from - veggies, noodles, frozen seafood, and meats. When you've finished making your selection of add-ins, they'll weigh it at the front (it needs to be a minimum of one pound; every half pound thereafter exacts an added surcharge). From there, they'll ask about your preferred spice level and whether you want your meal 'wet' or 'dry' - 'wet' meaning in a broth and dry meaning stir fried. A note on heat levels: Beware of o

Jeremy at the register noticed it was our first time at the restaurant, and he took great care us and gave us very helpful suggestions. The food was absolutely delicious with a nice level of spiciness. I ordered level 1, and it was good enough for me. Others in my group wanted even spicier so Jeremy brought more on the side. We were very impressed with the soup, but the stir fry looks amazing too, so we’ll likely try that next time. The restaurant has a simple atmosphere but was very clean. There was a constant turnover of customers. If you pay with cash, you get a free little ice cream.

The malatang here is really good, and the service is great. There are a lot of options to choose from, so it’s easy to customize your bowl. They offer free froyo if you pay cash, and they also include a Yakult regardless of payment method, which is a nice touch. Definitely a place I’d recommend!
