YGF Malatang 杨国福麻辣烫

For an old white guy it was great! After figuring out how to make my own order it was a breeze. Nice fresh ingredients. Sitting down to wait on order with a pager. They must have felt sorry for me, they brought my order to me. That’s great service. And the food was delicious. Mild to moderately spicy. Plus I did great with chopsticks!

Whenever I don’t know what to eat, I come here! It’s the perfect lunch spot for busy office workers — quick, satisfying, and always hits the spot. The ingredients are fresh and well-balanced, with a great variety of proteins and veggies to choose from. Whether it’s the spicy hotpot or dry stir-fry, it’s consistently delicious and comforting. Highly recommend for anyone working nearby! 🍜🥦💼💕

Tried YGF Malatang and really enjoyed it! The broth was flavorful, the ingredients were fresh, and everything came out super quick. It’s a great spot if you’re craving something comforting but don’t want to wait long. Definitely a place I’d come back to when I’m in the mood for malatang

I really enjoyed the food here. I ordered the soup, and the broth was very flavorful. My friend ordered the dry version, which had a rich and bold taste. However, the staff didn’t ask us about our preferred spice level, so we had to request an adjustment afterward. It would have been better if they checked with us in advance, but overall the dishes were delicious.

I had a great first experience here! The broth was rich and flavorful with an authentic mala kick — just the right amount of numbing and spicy. They offer a wide variety of fresh ingredients and sauces, so you can fully customize your bowl to your taste. The place is also very clean and well-maintained, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you’re a fan of mala tang!

One of few places in the city for per pound malatang. Service was quick and lots of seating. Decent vegetarian options and broth/base selections. The dry mix is not very spicy (even the most 🌶️ one) some of the sauce bowls seemed cleaner than others. Seems less oily (healthier?) than some other spots I’ve been to but flavour was also less delicious imo. Not sure if I will be back

You have had a chance to visit other locations before and the overall experience was outstanding! This particular location has not left any positive impressions, food was ooooooook, place was not very clean, restroom was dirty and even lacked the paper! Will not come back! Wish them to do a better job!

Wow I love this concept !! Self serve hot pot ! So efficient, affordable, and great for everyone to eat EXACTLY what they want. A little difficult to figure out how it works but my friend was there to help me out. Only other con is that you can't be 100% sure of cross contamination but it didn't matter for me because I don't have any food resctrictions. Would 1,000% go again.
