How we read reviews →CBD malatang counter. build a mala Sichuan hot pot by weight, fast and open until 11pm.
A fast-moving, no-reservations malatang counter on Elizabeth Street. weigh your own bowl of Sichuan-spiced broth and toppings, eat quickly, and move on; open until 11pm daily.
Build-your-own malatang by weight with a collagen bone broth or vegan-labelled soup base option, plus a self-selected range of meat, seafood and vegetable toppings.
Reviewers from both Korea and China describe the mala broth as close to the real thing, with one comparison praising the depth of the numbing spice.
Priced by weight (400g minimum per flavour, with an extra charge for a second broth), generally seen as reasonable for CBD dining, though a few reviewers found it pricier than expected.
