"This pioneering establishment was one of the first to introduce the dry hot pot to the city. The marquee menu item is a sort of stir fry that lets you customize the ingredients and level of heat. MaLa Project is also famous for offering a broad range of Chinese ingredients, including offal, and not just a rudimentary list of vegetables, meat, and seafood. Both the East Village and Midtown branches are now open, and ready to cook up a dry hot pot of your curation. Order online." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff
