Yang Guo Fu Malatang

Enjoying a hot bowl of soup on a chilly New York evening — perfect comfort food! With so many fresh ingredients to choose from, it’s a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Asian flavors. The staff were warm and attentive, making the experience even more delightful.

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!

Wonderful service and fast hot noodle soup! Their cucumber salad also mellow out the spiciness of the broth. If you're not into spicy, don't sleep on the fish more soup. It is not spicy and authentically delicious!

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! 🍜🥦💼💕

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

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 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!

I've been meaning to try this place and I am so glad I did!! I have been looking for mala restaurants where you can choose your own ingredients and get it made. There is a place with similar concept in ktown but this place is MUCH cheaper and also bigger. I liked the ingredient and sauce options. Love that they don't have different pricing for veggies & meant; just weight based pricing. We went on a weekend afternoon and it was mostly empty. Not sure why there aren't that many reviews as it's been open for a while, but I strongly recommend for those that's been looking for this style of mala tang/dry hot pot restaurant!
