" Having tried various malatang spots, I was pleased with my first visit to Mala Town. The place was immaculate, and the selection of fresh veggies and seafood was commendable. Each component tasted vibrant. I selected the spiciest broth available, and while it was flavorful, I was hoping for a more authentic Sichuan spice level. Nonetheless, I will visit again to explore more of their offerings, especially the signature bone broth! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been craving malatang for a long time and was excited to see a new place open nearby. Mala Town did not disappoint! Their broth was flavorful and the ingredient selection was impressive. The environment is clean, and the staff is eager to assist. However, the spice could be tweaked; I personally enjoy a stronger chili flavor. Overall, I had a great experience and look forward to sampling more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" The concept here is quite fun! You can mix and match ingredients and make your own unique hotpot combination. The atmosphere is joyful and vibrant, which makes it perfect for group outings. However, I felt the broth was slightly on the oily side, which overshadowed the other flavors. Nevertheless, everything felt fresh, and the staff was really attentive. I'd definitely recommend it for a casual dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mala Town is a new gem in the area! The ingredients are fresh and there are so many choices, it’s almost overwhelming! I especially loved their spicy dry pot; while I like spicy food, it could have used a bit more kick. The staff was attentive, checking in on us frequently, which was nice. The ambiance is bright and welcoming, making it a great place to meet friends. Overall, I would recommend giving this place a try for a fun and customizable hotpot experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had an excellent outing at Mala Town! With three kids, it can be a hassle to please everyone, but they loved picking their ingredients and watching it being cooked. The staff was helpful and friendly, ensuring our dining experience was enjoyable. However, we found the variety in the soup bases a bit lacking compared to other malatang spots we've frequented. Overall, I felt the atmosphere was casual and relaxed, making it perfect for families, and we'd happily return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved dining at Mala Town! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly. The self-serve concept is fun, especially for those who love to customize their meals. Everything tasted fresh, and the broth options are diverse. We specially enjoyed the spicy broth, which had a lovely flavor, but it was slightly on the greasy side. The cleanliness of the place was impressive, and we look forward to our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a solid meal at Mala Town. The self-service was a nice touch and made the meal interactive. I enjoyed the variety of ingredients available, but I didn't find the spicy broth to be as hot as I was hoping. It was still a flavor-packed experience, and the cleanliness of the environment definitely stood out. Overall, I’d say it’s worth a visit for malatang lovers. " (*Curated Review*)
