Very delicious. The soup is freshly cooked every day. I like to eat all kinds of beef delicacies. I can taste that the original soup base is made from beef bones. If I come to travel again next year, it will definitely be my first choice restaurant.

Fresh ingredients, fast turnaround, great taste! I will say that the original soup base is not as spicy as the Zhangliang I went to in China, but it's still authentic & delicious 😋

If you have food allergies or even a basic expectation of hygiene, avoid this place at all costs.

We specifically mentioned dietary restrictions when ordering, only to be met with blank stares & zero understanding. After making our food with the allergens, their brilliant solution?'Just take it out.' Because apparently, removing a solid ingredient magically eliminates all traces of allergens.

To make matters worse, they completely mixed up our soup broths-three different orders, three different flavor preferences, all blended into one chaotic mess. What's the point of customizing your malatang if they're just going to stir everything together like some kind of unfortunate science experiment?

The staff seemed utterly lost, the service was a joke, & the experience left us frustrated & hungry. If you value your health, your time, or even just decent food handling, go literally anywhere else.

Pros & cons. Pros: it's a really fun concept. Love the wide selection of ingredients you get to pick from to create your own bowl & dipping sauce. The bowl is also huge & you can choose from different soup bases. The seating is also nice & comfortable. Cons: the price by weight. I really don't think we can justify it. Yes, you get a lot in the bowl & you'll feel very full afterwards. However the avg bowl is going to be around $45 so get ready to spend. We even saw other ppl being shocked by the price & returning some ingredients. Honestly it's the most expensive soup I've ever had. Personally for the price you can just go to AYCE. I think if they're charging an AYCE price, they should at least make it AYCE style. Also there was no music in the background. It was very quiet & it made us feel even more strange about the amount we spent on a soup bowl. We were very excited to try this place & I wish I could have wrote something more positive. If they consider changing their price we would be more interested in going back.

Pretty decent bowl of mala soup. I think the owner is a Lady GaGa fan, "Always remember us this way" on loop for my entire meal. Seemless transition.

Pretty good price in China town. This is a famous chain restaurant & this location isn't too crowded. I paid $26 & am very full. Wide selection of ingredients & soup base is very tasty.

This place reminds me of Big Way Hot Pot in Vancouver, but I have to say it's far from perfect. I suppose it's just opened not long ago, so they still have time to improve as they go further. The vibe & service are decent, both scoring 7/10, & it's impeccably clean at 10/10. However, the food falls short with a rating of 5/10. Personally, I still prefer having a soup base for my hot pot rather than just dry. Will consider to go back.

They offer a wide selection of choice, the mala based soup is a bit spicy but not overpowering the other flavors. The only downside is two of the vegetables I picked had a sour taste even though they just brought them to the shelf while I picked my ingredients. I understand it's hard to make sure everything is 100% fresh, but that one or two items that are not ruin the whole experience. Better quality control needed for sure.

Hidden gem, you pay 3.50$ by each 100 g of food you choose for your soup (veggies, meat, pasta, seafood, everything is the same price) & then you select your broth (2$). Our soup came to around 17-18$ tax in, very good portion. Be careful, the extra spicy broth is officially the spiciest soup I've eaten in Montreal (& I normally eat very hot food).

This was my first experience I have never tried hot pot before & I liked the concept of picking your own ingredients & paying according to weight ! The spot is kind of hidden in china town I never noticed it before But I am happy I discovered it ! I asked for the vegetarian soup which is tomatoes soup & told them I like it spicy & it was awesome ! I paid 16 dollars ( taxes & tips included ) Kind of feels like your own mom cooking a soup for u & the spot was super comfy & the service extra kind . I asked the waitress questions & she was very helpful ! I will be going back for sure ❤️

Clean, fresh, & the waitress was friendly & welcoming. Most importantly, the price is really decent!! I tried the classic soup base. It was milky & tasted, not too spice. Highly recommend!!

Best malatang in Montreal. Lots of seafood option. I like spicy bone soupe, not that much oil so that I will not have irregular after eating spicy soupe.
