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.

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...

Nice casual hotpot place with lots of options, very efficient system, but it wasn't always clear what the foods were as the labels were worn out, & for people not familiar with the ingredients it was a bit of a random draw. Kid-friendly, but be careful with those super hot linquids slushing around - bibs recommended (for adults too;))

Malatang was super good & the flavor was very similar as in China. They offer various items to customize the food. Really recommended to visit once.

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.

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 👍
