Malatang Fondue Épicée ZhangLiang

I adore Malatang so I might be a little biased, but I loved this place. You grab a bowl, load up on the assorted selection of ingredients, & then the price is calculated by weight. Though it does look like they have combo options too.

This place had a wide selection of ingredients, there was plenty of options! We ordered the spicy beef broth, & it was very rich & flavorful with a nice kick to it. The only thing that I would say is that some of the veggie items didn't look particularly fresh.

The staff was also super nice, offering to explain how ordering works & show you the ropes. Overall, very enjoyable, delicious experience & a fun & unique way to eat! We felt very fulfilled leaving this place.

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 😋

Food was absolutely delicious but it was kinda pricey. I went for the classic broth they have & it was mildly spicy with rich flavors. They also had a ton of options to pick.

Fun concept. Broths are good, comforting. Good if you crave mild or spicy Malatang as hangover food. You pay at the counter after grabbing the ingredients you wish them to cook for you, so don't expect too much service other than that. It won't necessarily harm your overall experience here. This is my go-to spot for Malatang in Montreal.

I've only been there for 3 times. Certainly there are some improvements to make. One is the inconsistent spicy & flavour. On my third visit I ordered spicy dry pot to go, it turned out the pot was tasteless & flavourless, not sure if chef forgot adding salt or used too less sauce...

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.

The broth was not that good, for the price I expected it to be flavorful & spicy. You get a better deal at the Lamb place next to it! The water was also really bitter :( won't come back for sure. The service was nice though the lady was friendly & helpful 👍

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 ❤️

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.
