Review Summary

Many patrons highlight the inclusive halal options, the cozy and clean atmosphere, and the popular complimentary ube soft serve as standout features of their experience. While many reviewers praise the friendly and accommodating service, particularly from specific staff members, others report inconsistencies in service speed, long wait times, and occasional organizational issues during peak hours. Opinions on pricing are mixed, with some finding it reasonable for the generous portions and others feeling it can become expensive depending on the weight of the ingredients chosen.

Nice place to eat a big soup hot pot style. Lots of choice. Tasty broth & sauces. Ice cream offered for dessert. Negative point: tables are too close to each other.

Very disappointing experience. The attitude we received felt extremely poor &, honestly, it came across as discriminatory. We waited a long time just to be seated, then were largely ignored with almost no service during the meal. What made it worse was that after the meal, other tables were given ice cream, but we were not. We asked about it, & even after that, the staff responded in a very dismissive & unmotivated way. Overall, the service felt neglectful & unfair, & it left us with a very bad impression.

The food was incredible. I am gluten free & there were many options to choose from including some very exciting noodles, not just your classic vermicelli rice noodle. My bowl came out fairly pricey but unlike other restaurants the portions are very generous, in addition to being high quality ingredients. The sauce bar was such a trip, so delicious & fun!

Terrible place, don't waste your time & money. They've raised their prices so much that it's not worth it anymore, & they added so many tables you can barely walk in there. Greedy business. The service is also terrible. We had to wait so long to get seated even though we were on the waitlist, & again waited so long for the food. The staff are also horrible. It says unlimited ice cream but when we asked for seconds the server the tall black guy gave me an attitude saying'really? again?' & never brought it for us waiting so long until we left.

Good when they first opened. Now, it's horrible. First, tables are so close together that it's so likely a server will spill hot soup all over you. There was a very rude server, tall black dude who refused to serve us. He was dismissive & made weird comments. They should hire better people. Wouldnt come back again. A shame because the food is ok.

i dont think enough people understand they are having a dish called Malatang in chinese. The concept of mini hot pot has been around for a long time in china & yet this place gives zero credit to where this concept comes from. There is no indication inside the restaurant whatsoever. The place looks like a poke restaurant. Just feels like westernized / repackaged for instagram. The food & service itself where fine. But as a chinese this felt like a weird experience seeing my culture being repackaged for the sake of attracting a wider audience. I am not sure what the owners are thinking about that but looks like they are profiting off of a trend if they are not going to explain to the people what the food is about & where it comes from.
