YGF Malatang 杨国福麻辣烫

Got the fish maw and chicken broth again—honestly one of my favorite comfort meals! The broth is so light yet flavorful, with that perfect balance of richness and freshness. I added marinated chicken and a mix of veggies this time, and it all came together so well. The fish maw has such a delicate texture that soaks up all the goodness of the soup. Definitely hitting the spot today!

It’s so flavorful and a filling meal with my own choice of ingredients. If you love bold, spicy flavors, Malatang is an awesome place to eat at. You build your own bowl with tons of fresh ingredients — noodles, veggies, meats, tofu, you name it — and they cook it in a rich, flavorful broth. Perfect balance of spice and savory. Super filling, super satisfying. Ideal for cold days or if you’re just craving heat. 🌶️🔥

I love Malatang so had to try this place while in the neighborhood. It starts at $15.99 per pound (it adds up real quick so be careful). I chose the ingredients first then my soup base. I got the classic with medium spice (though I wish it was a bit more spicier). I didn’t even realize they had a sauce station right next to the register until I was done. My bowl ended up being $25 which I was really full from. The grade here is still pending and looks like they bring up the ingredients from the basement to refill the station.

Friendly self serve make-your-own bowl. Whether soup or dry-pot options. Food was fresh but the dry pot sauce was a little pasty, but great flavor. I really liked being able to pick my own ingredients. Wish the little paper cups were just slightly bigger, made four trips up to get water for my meal...overall great taste, fresh food and friendly crew!

Food tastes amazing!! The place is very organized and comfortable. There are a lot of variations for food food options. Definitely recommend if you wanna get a taste of Chinese food. Best place to eat and feel cozy!!

The food is mediocre and is a little flavorless. I asked for more hot sauce and peanut sauce but I was told that they ran out, which are pretty much the two key sauces for the dry mix.. the young female staff was really rude and appeared to really hate being here. A lot of the green leaf veggies were spoiled and turned yellow. Really disappointed as I was expecting much higher based on the reviews, which was probably received due to a lack of similar restaurants and competition nearby.

Malatang was amazing! They offer a variety of flavorful broths, including: • Beef Bone Broth – Available in mild, medium, and extra spicy. • Tomato Broth – A delicious vegan option. • Spicy Mix – Rich and bold, but contains nuts. • Fish Maw & Chicken Broth – A new addition that’s light and refreshing. Highly recommend!

Delicious food, never disappoints! Great variety of options and plenty of choices in terms of topping !
