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.

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.

The medium spice level was too spicy; I couldn't eat it & had some pain.

My husband & I, first time eating here & we were not disappointed. The server took her time explaining the dishes & food was delicious. I ordered Wanda & hubby explored with intentine soup. Just be cautious because its really'asian' when it comes to spicyness level. My husband was sweating just from medium spicy (middle level). Believe me, his tolerance for spicyness is high. I took a mild version & still tasted the heat.
Will come back for sure. A hidden gem in west island.

Really good sichuan cuisine! The wonton soup was delicious. We were asked about our spice tolerance before placing the order. I ordered the super spicy numbing soup & it did not disappoint! Cannot wait to go back & try other dishes. Also, the restaurant is very clean which I appreciate.

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!

Really good experience & good food for lunch, be careful it's very spicy. Ask for non spicy if you do not tolerate it

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.

You can select the spice level you would like. For those who have never tried spicy food, i recommend you go for mild because spicy seriously hits.

It's nice spicy taste! Unfortunately this time they have no rice but staff lady prepare for me. Thank you! It's looks very spicy but not too spicy & easy to eat. Also they can adjusts the spiciness for us. If they have different spicy taste,more good.
