Zhang Liang Spicy Hot Pot

I was craving mala xiang guo and this hit the spot. Located right of main street, this fast casual restaurant is your classic malatang spot. You fill up your bowl with the ingredients you want, weigh it, and once they cook it and it's ready, you just pick it up from the counter! They have a variety of veggies, fish tofus, and meats for you to add to your malatang. I would say that their selection is a bit smaller than I'm used to, and a lot of their meats were already marinated (which I don't like). But, their veggie selection was good and fresh. I got their spicy mala xiang guo, and it came with a side of rice. It was good, but I felt like it wasn't spicy enough so I went to go make my own sauce. I wish there was just a bit more seasoning sauce in their mala xiang guo. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed it.

the staff and everyone there was super nice and friendly, but i just don’t think the soup base was too good. great selection of ingredients and items for you to pick from but the broth itself wasn’t my favorite and i honestly think that’s a huge part of malatang so i suggest maybe changing the soup based but other than that the staff were extremely friendly and even offered recommendations to my friends and i who were thinking about what we wanted, would be back to try something different next time and hopefully change my opinion

I came here with my boyfriend multiple times already, we tried dry noodles style and hot pot soup style but we like the soup style the most! Soo yummmm. Price is acceptable, place is clean and no line. We definitely keep coming back!

we came in for dinner around 8:45 and they were closing at 9. They were super nice and let us order and eat here. The food was really good and we go the dry hotpot. Food was fresh and quick! Highly recommend

Yummy food and good price! It is clean and cozy

Buffet style malatang! Brialliant idea to mix the most popular Chinese dining theme together, hotpot and malatang. Another franchise store from China, modern, simple and fast. The soup base is long-shimmered oxtail soup, and the flavor and texture are quite unique, mild and thick, unlike the typical malatang in the area. This store reflects the new Chinese dinning culture very well, fresh look for a period, and it will evolve to something newer once people are getting used to it. Many people has complained about the price, but we were happy about this dinning experience. Just slightly on the high side 😉

I come in to the store as a new customer, they explain me how the service work, you get to choose your own ingredients to prepare a soup and love it!!! Little expensive but it's worth it!!!

I dined here with my friends, and the portions are huge! I could barely finish my meal. My tip: don't over-fill your bin when you're choosing your ingredients.
