" I was really excited to try Zhangliang Malatang, but it fell short of expectations. The broth was very spicy—almost too much for me—which overshadowed the taste of the fresh ingredients. I appreciate the variety offered, but I found my experience less enjoyable due to the overwhelming heat. I might give it one more chance but would stick with a milder soup base next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience overall! The concept of choosing your ingredients is fun, and we enjoyed the variety available. The prices are reasonable considering what you get, though I wish they had more non-spicy options for those who can't handle the heat. Highly recommend for spice lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zhangliang Malatang is a mixed bag for me. The ingredients seemed fresh, and the staff was attentive, but I found the broth quite bland in comparison with other malatang spots I've frequented. Additionally, I felt the portion sizes could be a tad larger for the price. I might return to give it another shot, but I was left wanting. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic time at Zhangliang Malatang! The fresh ingredients were mouthwatering, and with so many options, I ended up trying a bit of everything. The spicy broth had just the right kick—definitely coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my recent visit. While the concept is fun and the selection is vast, the soup lacked flavor and was overly oily. The service was decent, but I expected more based on previous experiences. I may try again, but my enthusiasm is waning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an incredible meal here! So many fresh ingredients to choose from! I opted for the spicy broth, and it had the perfect kick! Tempered it with the sauce bar, and oh boy, I was in heaven. I’ll be back before I even finish this review! " (*Curated Review*)

" I think I may have set my expectations too high. The variety was great, and the self-serve idea is fun, but honestly, I found the broth a tad disappointing. I will still give it another try to see if it was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)
