" Came to MáLà Project after hearing so much hype, and I must say, it lived up to its name! The dry pot I had was both spicy and flavorful, containing a mix of meat and veggies that complemented each other well. Service was prompt, though the restaurant was quite busy. I love that I could customize my bowl, and still have space for dessert. The vibe was lively, making it a perfect spot for casual diners. You can count on me returning with friends!

" Let me start by saying I absolutely loved the authentic flavors at MáLà Project! We had the pork belly dry pot and chose a spicy level that was just right for us. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the food was out in no time. The cozy, bustling atmosphere added to the fun. I also got the chance to try their famous eggplant dish and it was indeed a winner! I am already planning my next visit. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving great Chinese cuisine!

" Just visited MáLà Project for the first time, and I have to say I am blown away by the flavor! The build-your-own dry pot feature is super fun and allowed me to personalize my meal completely. I went for a mix of medium spiciness which I found just right – not too overwhelming! Each ingredient tasted fresh, and the portion sizes were more than enough for one person. The staff was incredibly friendly and handled the busy environment well. I will certainly be back soon to try more of their delicious offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" We were highly recommended to try MáLà Project and it was a delightful surprise. The dry pot is a fantastic way to enjoy a variety of ingredients, and the flavor profile they offer is remarkable. Plus, the service was swift and cheerful, making for a pleasant dining experience. I didn't love how busy it was—it felt cramped at times—but that’s just a part of the vibe here. I'm eager to come back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting MáLà Project was an absolute treat! The vibrant atmosphere immediately caught my attention. I ordered a custom dry pot with chicken, fish, and tons of veggies. The spiciness was right on point for me; I absolutely love the bold flavors of Szechuan cuisine. Another highlight was the quick service; our food came within ten minutes. It was a bit crowded, which made it hard to chat, but the food made it worth it. I will definitely be returning for another busy night of delicious eating! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an okay experience here. The dry pot was decent, but nothing particularly wowed me. I went for the medium spice level and it didn’t pack the punch I expected. The service was friendly, but it felt a bit rushed. The atmosphere was lively, but that made it hard to have meaningful conversation. Overall, it was good, but I wouldn't rush back for it.
