Our Review!

Hands down the best malatang spot in National City! I loved how fresh all the ingredients felt—crisp veggies, plump seafood, and tender meats. The broth options (I went with classic spicy) had so much depth of flavor, and the staff was super helpful when I was picking my spice level. The vibe is casual and cozy, perfect for a quick lunch or a chill dinner. Already planning my next visit to try the mala xiangguo!

This place exceeded my expectations! The customization here is unbeatable—so many toppings to mix and match, plus broth choices that cater to every taste (tomato, mushroom, and tom yum, yes please). My bowl was packed with flavor, and the portion size was generous for the price. Service was fast even during a busy evening, and the restaurant felt clean and welcoming. If you’re craving bold, authentic spicy hotpot, this is the spot.

I’m obsessed with Zhangliang Malatang! The mala spice here is just right—aromatic, fiery, and not overly greasy. I tried their seafood hotpot combo, and every bite was fresh and satisfying. Bonus points for the cute octopus mascot decor and the Lucky Wednesday promotion (got a free drink, win!). Whether you’re a malatang veteran or trying it for the first time, this place will make you a fan. 10/10 recommend!
