AI Summary

A CBD malatang counter where you build your own spicy Sichuan hot pot bowl, priced by weight.

Casual, self-serve counter style - pick your own ingredients and broth - that gets loud and crowded during peak late-night hours.

Build-your-own bowl: choose noodles, vegetables, meat and seafood, then a soup base or dry stir-fry style and a spice level 1-4; free rice with every order.

One reviewer notes it's especially popular with Chinese diners, taking that as a marker of authenticity for the malatang and Sichuan dry pot.

Priced by weight at roughly $4.30/100g with a ~$17 minimum; most reviewers call it good value, though one felt weighing the metal pot and tongs with the food inflated the bill.
