Review Summary

Mala Express is described as a hidden gem in the west island with hearty portions and authentic Sichuan flavors. The dan dan noodles are noted for a homemade feel, though some would like more ground meat and cucumber. The spicy wonton soup is warm and comforting, with bok choy adding a nice touch. Dishes are generously portioned, often enough for two. Spice tolerance is discussed before ordering, and although medium is sometimes too spicy for some, mild versions still deliver heat. Favorites mentioned include ganew noodles and beef soup with rice noodles. The service is described as friendly and patient, with the staff taking time to explain dishes, and the restaurant is noted as clean. Overall, Mala Express is seen as a reliable lunch spot or quick dinner option with reasonable prices and the potential to return for more.

Very authentic Sichuan flavor, & the chili oil is incredibly fragrant! I have a big appetite, so I ordered extra noodles-the portion was very generous! 🌶?🍜
he only downside is that they're closed on Sundays, & I'm often in Kirkland on Sundays.

I ordered from here for the best first time, It is unlike any Chinese restaurant I've been to, super authentic, very very tasty, this is my new go to... Just to add, I find the prices to be very reasonable, especially considering the quality & flavor.

One of the most authentic Sichuan eateries I've been to in Montreal. Great flavors, affordable prices & fast service make it our go-to comfort food spot.

For what it is, as in authentic Chinese food, i have no gauge to rate, but the food was simple & tasty. True it is not washed down with Canadian flavors so to say, so it is more for my palette to adjust vs the other way.
