La Soupière Malatang & Thé offers a customizable Asian dining experience in Montréal. Malatang is a popular concept in Asia: you choose your fresh ingredients — meats, seafood, vegetables and noodles — then select your broth, from mild to spicy. Your bowl is prepared to order.
We use only fresh ingredients, prepared daily, and our menu draws inspiration from a variety of Asian flavors. Every meal includes access to our complimentary sauce bar, house beverages and a free ice cream.
Overall, La Soupiere Malatang earns praise for flavorful, varied malatang with many broth and sauce options, a wide range of fresh ingredients, and reliable, friendly service, plus a free ice cream at the end and a bright, comfortable atmosphere in downtown Montreal; while some diners note that pricing is by weight and can feel a bit higher than comparable places, the breadth of choices and the quality make it a standout for both first timers and regulars.
A great twist on a familiar concept. Call it hot pot, or soup noodle, it is a fun new spot & deserves to be highly rated. The establishment is clean, many choices for your personal bowl, great drinks & nice touch with the ice cream. Service is really fantastic & friendly. Expect to pay a small premium but, given you get exactly what you want, it is worth it.

The waitresses weren't very friendly & took a long time to serve us: a friend of mine asked for a fork instead of chopsticks, & the soup went from hot to lukewarm. They should offer a wider selection of noodles. The broth is excellent, & the ingredients (especially the seafood) are very fresh.
First time ever having malatang & it was an amazing experience everything was delicious & so many options. The place is so cute & clean & the service is great.
Loved everything
Super fun experience & you get a great deal for what you're getting. $20 a bowl, yes, but that can be a bunch of shrimp & duck breast. Went with the classic base & it was delicious.
Went there with friends. Honestly a bit underwhelming… I took the dry base & it was basically the ingredients I chose boiled with sesame sauce & chili oil thrown on… Not worth the 30+ I paid for. They give free ice cream at the end which is nice.

Montréal has always been weaker in comparison to Toronto & Vancouver when it comes to good Asian food. I'm very glad that is slowly changing with many new fantastic establishments opening up, & one of the front runner in bringing this change is La Soupiere Malataang.
This is a truly incredible place. The raw meat selection is fantastic & very fresh. The vegetable options are decent but nothing to write home oabout. The meat selection is on the other hand is good. The broth options are fantastic too & they are incredibly rich & full bodied.
As a torontonian native & having tried Malataang in Toronto, I am happy that Montreal probably has one of the best Malataang restaurant between the both cities.
The drinks are great. The milk tea is an underrated cheat code in the city. For 3.99 it beats out many other milk tea spots in its vicinity.
The servers are incredible, extremely professional & will go out of their way to accommodate you fully. They are always checking in on you & serving you with a smile.
I really hope they can keep their early momentum going for a very long time.
C'était mon premier malatang. J'avoue que je ne comprenais pas trop pourquoi j'irais là plutôt qu'au hotpot mais finalement j'ai bien aimé mon expérience ! On a choisi le bouillon signature & il était bon. Les ingrédients sont variés & il y a plein de choix végétariens.
This was my first time coming here, & the staff were friendly.
However, I was disappointed with the soup. I tried both the mala & the tom yum, & neither of them tasted good. The malatang was bland & lacked the spicy, numbing flavor I was craving (I was really looking forward to it, which is why I decided to come). The tom yum was overly sour. I tried my best to finish the solid ingredients but left the soup. Overall, I'm very disappointed.

Similar to Chinese hotpot, the service is buffet-style with a selection of different soup bases. As someone who typically has a smaller appetite, I appreciated the pricing by weight (approx $4.49/100g). The soup choice is included in the price. The ingredients are quite varied, even for a vegetarian like myself. In fact, for a $35 pot, the serving was already more than plenty. The soup flavour for the #9 Singaporean was creamy & mild spicy. I really enjoyed the experience but I would say the soups are a bit too salty. I'd ask in future to see if this is something that can be modified. The staff were very welcoming & friendly, explaining well the system for a first-time customer. I would return, but with an emptier stomach.
This restaurant delivers an excellent dining experience from start to finish. The menu offers a wide variety of broths, including both mild & spicy options, each well?balanced & aromatic. Ingredient quality is clearly a priority - vegetables were crisp, meats were well?marbled, & seafood tasted fresh. Service was efficient & friendly, with staff checking in regularly without being intrusive. The space is clean, comfortable, & well?ventilated, which makes a big difference. Overall, a reliable & delicious choice for anyone craving a satisfying meal. The unli ice cream is a plus! :) will surely comeback to bring more friends.
My friends recommended me La soupière so I had high expectations. I went on April 6th on Easter Monday, took the Laksa soup base & it was just way too salty. Usually laksa soup should taste a bit sweet with coconot flavours but the soup base I got yesterday just tasted salty… I was super disappointed & will not go back again. Maybe the quality was less good as usual on a holiday but… again it shouldn't. I do not recommend.
Très belle expérience! On crée sa propre soupe. On choisi nous même tout nos composantes de soupe (Protéines, tofu, verdures & bouillons). Les choix sont très variés. Possibilités de milliers de combinaisons. Le prix est au poids ( 4.99$ / 100gr). On doit faire attention, çà va vite... 2 soupes pour presque 50$. Les gens entrent & sortent sans arrêt. Bon signe! Ce qui me dérange, c'est la possibilité de comtamination croisée. Comme les gens se servent eux-mêmes, & peuvent toucher à tout avec la pince...
There's a small waiting time but you can leave your name & your phone number & the restaurant will send you a message when the table is free. Do take in consideration that you might have to wait close to 30 mins for a table though. The restaurant is pretty small & it's pretty cramped inside. Going in between the tables is quite difficult so it made it a bit less enjoyable. The service was pretty friendly & patient, taking the time to explain to us how it works. The food was tasty as well. I really enjoyable the flavours of the soup, the light spiciness complements the rest of the flavour & the best part is that you can customise all of it. The meal can be different every time you go because you get to pick all the ingredients inside & that makes it so fun. It' only 4.99$ a pound but it does go up quickly so be mindful of that. In the end, it was about 20$ a bowl which is still acceptable for the portion. Especially if you are picking all your favourites.
