" I brought my family to Mala Class, and it was a hit! The restaurant is charming, and Kevin welcomed us warmly. The kids loved the dumplings dipped in chili oil, and my husband couldn't get enough of the beef noodle soup. I appreciated how accommodating they were with the spice levels for the kids. I found myself continuously going back for more of the mushroom fries—they were addictive! If you’re in Highland Park and haven't tried Mala Class yet, you're missing out on something special! " (*Curated Review*)

" Nice place with great food. The Dan Dan noodles were the best I’ve had—perfectly spiced and very filling! My only complaint was that the service was a bit slow on a busy night. However, the atmosphere was lively and vibrant, which made it enjoyable overall. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Highland Park. I'll be coming back for sure, especially to try the wings everyone keeps talking about! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Mala Class last week and was thoroughly impressed by the experience! The ambiance of the restaurant is charming and welcoming. The owners took the time to explain the dishes, which made trying Sichuan cuisine for the first time more exciting. I ordered the mapo tofu and it was deliciously spicy yet comforting. The staff maintained a friendly demeanor throughout our visit, and I left feeling satisfied and eager to return. Highly recommend giving this place a try if you're in Highland Park!

" Delicious food and friendly service. We had a family dinner and ordered a bunch of items to share—definitely order the chicken wings. They are massive and so flavorful! The ambiance was cozy, and the tables were set up nicely for large groups. My only issue was a slight delay in getting our food, but it was a busy night, and I understand. The experience was well worth it. I’ll be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)
