" The dry pot at MáLà is an absolute must-try! The quality of the ingredients stood out, especially the mushrooms and tofu. However, while I enjoyed my meal overall, I felt the portions could be a little more generous, especially for the price. The atmosphere was lively, but not overly crowded, making for a pleasant dining experience. Service was fast and friendly, but I did have to ask a couple of times for water refills. I'll definitely come back to give it another shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try MáLà after hearing so much about it, and it did not disappoint! The spices they use in the dry pot are distinctly authentic, taking me back to the streets of Chengdu. Service was prompt, and our server was jovial, enhancing our experience. Although the restaurant was quite busy, the ambiance remained enjoyable. Portions were decent, but I would love to see a small increase given the higher price. Overall, I'll be back with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon MáLà Project and decided to pop in for a meal. The dry pot was indeed quite tasty with a load of fresh ingredients, but the spice level was a little uneven for my taste. The service staff were helpful and attentive, making sure my dining went smoothly. The ambiance captured a fun setting perfect for dining out with friends. While the portions were good, I'd appreciate more options in that department. Overall, I left satisfied but not blown away. " (*Curated Review*)
