" Tried Mala Chili for the first time last weekend, and I’m already planning my next visit! We went all out and ordered multiple dishes. The mapo tofu was a stunning dish, perfectly spicy and well-balanced. They also serve an impressive selection of cocktails. Service was quick, and the staff definitely had a good understanding of the menu. If you're looking for a place with authentic flavors, this place has it all! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food had its great moments, it also had some not-so-great dishes. The spicy wontons were perfect, bursting with flavor, but the sweet and sour pork was a letdown—too greasy for my liking. I can't deny that the service was top-notch, attentive and friendly. Given how good most of the dishes were, I think it’s worth another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, I can't say enough good things about Mala Chili! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The food was simply outstanding, with dishes packed full of flavor, showcasing authentic Sichuan cuisine. Our server was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the menu. We can’t wait to come back and try even more from their extensive selection! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Mala Chili with some family and was pleasantly surprised! The service was swift and friendly, even though it was a busy night. We ordered the spicy chicken, cold noodle salad, and drunken chicken. The spicy chicken stood out with its bold flavors and was crispy, which we loved. They also brought our food quickly, and I can't wait to go back and taste more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes based on the reviews, but sadly they fell flat. The spicy dishes weren't too spicy, and the ingredients didn't taste fresh. Service was okay, but seemed a bit scatterbrained at times. I doubt I would return because I can find better Chinese food elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Mala Chili, I am reminded of authentic Chinese flavors. The spicy chicken is simply the best I've had in Austin. Service has always been friendly and attentive, and I've come with friends as well as solo and they treat every guest well. Definitely recommended for anyone who loves real Sichuan cuisine!
