Customer Reviews
I had a great experience at Mala Town Express! The food was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I was craving. What really stood out to me was the customer service, the employee who helped me was so nice and friendly, made me feel welcome right away, and was patient while I ordered. It’s always a better experience when the staff is warm and attentive. I’ll definitely be coming back! 😊
Great selection of ingredients and friendly service! Very reasonably priced. The dry mala stir fry was more creamy than I expected (a lot of sesame paste) but it was delicious. I would come back again if I’m in the area!
Very nice Mala tang (mini hotpot) place! Clean and cozy inside, food was tasty and the broth was flavorful. Ingredients look fresh, though the seaweed was a bit fishy but everything else was delicious. It’s self serving so we didn’t expect services, but the staff were super friendly and brought us our food. Most importantly, the price is very reasonable. This is supposed to be the kind of street food and I’m not a big fan of places that charges almost $17 per pound. Here it’s only $13 per pound if you round up. Will recommend it!
This is my fourth time here, and I’ll keep coming. It’s that good!!! Price is decent compared to other malatang places, and the flavour always hits. Go to spot.
I got the tomato soup base — it was rich and flavorful, kind of like the one at Haidilao. My friend chose the chicken broth, which was light and savory. All the ingredients were super fresh. I had bamboo shoots, shrimp paste, kelp, cheese-filled fish tofu, and sliced beef. Personally, I loved the shrimp paste the most. You can grab your own dipping sauces, the food came out fast, and the owner was really friendly. I didn’t know how to use the water dispenser, and he even came over to help me get some water himself.🥹
