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 the dan-dan noodles & spicy wonton soup through Uber Eats. The dan-dan noodles tasted homemade, like something my Asian grandmother would make. But I wish there was more of the delicious ground meat & cucumbers because I ended up with a lot of noodles. The spicy wonton Soup was mildly spicy, warm & comforting. I loved the addition of the bok choy. It was the perfect winter dish. Both dishes were big portions, enough for two people. I will definitely be ordering from this place again.

Our favorite Chinese noodles in the west island. I don't understand the negative reviews. The noodles are so tasty & food is authentic. The owner is such a sweetheart too & you can tell works very hard. A great lunch spot or quick dinner with reasonable prices. I've been here over 5 times & will keep coming back. My favorite are the ganew noodles & beef soup with rice noodles.

Delicious dan dan noodles. The hot/sour cucumber was great (huge portion too). Genuinely spicy, so only order something strong/spicy if you can handle the heat. You'll feel like Chester Bennington circa 2003 afterwards, absolutely "numb". But just like the hit song, it's absolutely addictive!

Easily the best Szechuan noodle place in the Greater Montreal. Downtown spicy food lovers are missing out big time. Really hope they could open up a restaurant in downtown.

I always order the Dan-Dan noodles with the mala Nubi wonton soup. In both cases, mild is just enough 😉

The good: If you are looking for "authentic" Chinese noodles on the west island, this is the place to go. I ordered the Dan-dan noodles. Easy/free parking. Excellent prices. Portions are good. Very satisfied with the food & service.
The not so good: Table for 2 was quite small. The soft drinks could have been colder. The atmosphere is just so-so.
Overall... if you are looking for good, inexpensive food, this place highly recommended.
