Their meat & veggie selection is good. They also keep the food section pretty neat & tidy. I personally like the Szechuan Sauce which seems to be a mix of sesame sauce & chilli oil.
My only point of critique is that their broth recipe is not consistent. I received my dish too salty a couple of times now. But, I have also ordered the same thing before where it came out just perfect.
Would love for it to be more consistently balanced!
Really nice experience at La Soupiere Malatang & definitely a place worth trying if you like to do your own meal.
The concept is simple: you grab a bowl, pick whatever ingredients you want, & they cook everything for you afterward. There's honestly a huge selection & everything looked fresh. Lots of choices for meats, fish, vegetables, tofu, noodles, etc. You can also make your own sauce on the side, which is a nice touch.
One thing though: it's very easy to spend way more than expected without realizing it 😅. My honest recommendation is to avoid loading the bowl with heavy items like noodles if you want better value. The fish, meat, & other ingredients are definitely more worth it in my opinion.
For us, the wait was around 20 minutes, which was perfectly fine. If you're with friends or good company, the time goes by quickly anyway.
The place itself was clean, including the bathrooms, which are locked & require a key from the staff.
Overall, good food, fresh ingredients, fun concept, & a nice atmosphere. I'd definitely go back.
Impressed by the wide selection for malatang. I chose the tomato broth, which was rich & comforting, & the sauce bar offered more than enough ingredients to craft a delicious, personalized sauce.
Typical Chinese malatang place. Very similar to big way hotpot but more expensive. They have all sorts of ingredients/selections you can choose from & some very interesting seafood selections.
It's by weight ($4.49/100g) so some cheaper items may cost more than you think. Theres many soup base options to choose from including my personal favourite, the tomato soup base. They also have a sauce bar which includes all your hotpot sauce necessities.
At the end you get a free ice cream but I couldn't finish mine because I was stuffed from the actual meal. Service was good. Would come again but I find myself spending too much at these places, which is a me problem.
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.
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.
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.
