" As a frequent malatang diner, I was excited to try YGF Malatang. The first thing that caught my eye was how clean everything was. The staff helped me navigate the ingredient selection process, which was great as it was my first time here. However, I found the broths less flavorful than I expected. They aren't bad, but I was hoping for something more robust, reminiscent of the ones back in China. Still, the freshness of the ingredients made up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" YGF Malatang is the place to be if you love customizable bowls! The selection is fantastic and allows you to create the flavor profile you want. I opted for the tomato base and it blew me away! It's not traditional malatang, but it feels like it has its own personality. The service could be improved, but the food was great overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" YGF Malatang has quickly become one of my favorite spots for quick and delicious food! The ability to customize my bowl is a game changer, and I really liked how fresh the ingredients tasted. The spicy broth was just enough heat to satisfy my cravings! Can’t wait to go back and try different combinations! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing all the hype about YGF, I decided to check it out. The selection of ingredients was great, and I could have spent all day mixing them. The flavors in the broth were decent, but nothing too special stood out. The clean and tidy space impressed me, and the staff were quite friendly. Worth a trip if you are nearby and in the mood for malatang. " (*Curated Review*)

" A fantastic spot to enjoy authentic Malatang in the heart of the East Village. The flavor was spot on, and I truly appreciated the ability to create my own ideal bowl. I particularly loved the hand-cut noodles they serve. My only issue was the wait time during peak hours, but the food quality makes up for it. Highly recommend if you're a fan of spicy dishes!

" Being a malatang aficionado, I found YGF Malatang to be a solid option in NYC. The authenticity in flavor is impressive, and the ability to customize makes for a fun dining experience. However, a couple of the soups I tasted lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for. I appreciate the clean setup and attentive service. Overall, a nice spot for malatang enthusiasts. " (*Curated Review*)

" YGF Malatang was pleasantly surprising! The way you can pick your ingredients and create your own meal is fun. I went for the spicy mix and it was a treat! My only issue was that the seating was quite tight, making it feel a bit cramped. Additionally, there were a few inconsistencies with portion sizes, which left me feeling a bit shortchanged. Still, overall it was a positive experience and I’d recommend it to anyone craving malatang. " (*Curated Review*)
