AI Summary

Swanston Street malatang hot pot where you build your own bowl, pick your broth and get free rice until 11pm

Compact, lively CBD hot pot room with Chinese-style decor and self-serve ingredient fridges. Cosy and crowded, a good late-night refuel.

Pick-your-own ingredients priced by weight, choice of mala or pork bone broth, adjustable heat, free rice, open 11am to 11pm daily

Chinese diners praise authentic Sichuan-style mala flavour and the build-your-own malatang format.

Around $25 per bowl, priced by weight; reviewers call it good value, with free rice a welcome extra.
