" If you're looking for authentic Sichuan food, Mala Class should be at the top of your list. I was blown away by the layers of flavor in each dish we ordered. The spicy beef noodle soup had a rich broth that was both comforting and warming. The dumplings were delightful, with a perfect texture. The only downside was that it took a while for our food to arrive, but it was absolutely worth the wait. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. I will definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the owner, Kevin, who took the time to explain everything on the menu.
