Why spend money on 24 Gold when you can spend it on 19 Gold instead? lol 19 Gold in Bothell is located on the east side of Bothell-Everett Highway just north of 213th St SE. Same plaza as Panera Bread, and the Hot Pot spot is located adjacent to Panera Bread's drive thru entrance. I came at 11:30 AM right when they opened, and they already had a few customers inside. One of the employees was pretty welcoming and asked if it was my first time there. For me, it was, so she took the time to explain the ordering process here, though she did speak quite fast, understandably so though. After hearing her explanation of the ordering process, I discerned that the hot pot is a BYO where you select the toppings that would go into your hot pot, and then the chef cooks your selection of toppings with your selection of the broth. First, you grab a tray and tongs, kind of like what you'd do at a Paris Baguette. And then, you select all your toppings to go into your bowl, kind of like what you'd do at a MOD Pizza. Usually at a BYO pizza shop like MOD Pizza, I would pile on all the toppings I can to make a bigger pizza at no extra cost. Except one problem: It's not unlimited toppings for one price here. You get charged $14.99 per lb of your choice of toppings, and you pay after weighing the tray on the scale at the register. I tried to get a little of most toppings out there, but it was a pretty bad idea. The end result was that I chose over 2 lbs worth of toppings, so my hot pot would cost well over $30! Oof! So much for mentioning MOD Pizza lol. Perhaps a better comparison would be Yogurtland since the latter charges by weight, but the former does not. Also, you won't know how much you'd pay until you get to the register. I was given a numbered stand so that when my hot pot was ready to be consumed, a server would then bring it to me. I ordered the Non-Spicy Unami Seafood Broth not knowing how spicy the Original MalaTang Broth can get, even at Mild, or how rich the Super Rich MalaTang Broth is. Unfortunately, the seafood broth didn't really taste like much of anything. It felt pretty diluted that I thought I was slurping straight up water from my hot pot creation. As a result, I tried to dump my custom dip into the bowl, but it may have caused problems for my enjoyment. At the dip station, they had a multitude of sauces and accoutrements to complement the sauces. Similarly to how I built my hot pot, I built my sauces in a similar manner. Not a good idea because one of the accoutrements I chose was sesame seeds, and I believe those pesky sesame seeds caused me to cough a handful of times during the latter stages of my lunch. Luckily, they had plenty enough water on each table, but it got hard to enjoy the rest of my hot pot knowing I could be coughing uncontrollably at any time. One thing I did appreciate was how they put the meats at the end of the bar. Even though I'm not a vegetarian, I like this strategy as it prevents cross-contamination from meats into the vegetables since customers would reach the veggies before the meats. However, I did find the placement of the classic dips at the start of the toppings bar rather odd; I would have suggested placing the classic dips right after the register so that I wouldn't have to make a second trip to the toppings bar just to get some dip for my hot pot. The tray was pretty heavy on its own that when I was done selecting my toppings, I actually had to set the tray down on an empty table just to rest my hand! I really didn't want to drop the tray knowing I might have to pay for the toppings that dropped on the floor lol. Before you help yourself to the Malatang Self-Service Bar, you'll need to be seated by an employee first. I sat at a table in the near corner, A8 I believe, and the side of the table was starting to peel off*. Of all the numerous tables inside, they chose to seat me there? Overall, a decent visit that I can understand the overall rating of 4.7. The one employee I interacted with was fantastic, but probably couldn't have done more for 19 Gold to earn that 5th star from me. But lesson learned: next time, don't go too crazy on the toppings at a place that charges by the pound. The weight adds up really quickly, and you might experience sticker shock at the register! Lastly, they probably won't listen to my suggestion, but I do remember a Yelp friend mentioning a similar spot in SoCal where you guess the price of your bowl, and if you're on the money, it's free! But if you're close enough, like within a few cents, you get a decent discount. I'd love to see 19 Gold implement something like this as that would make things a lot more exciting at the register! lol * My visit was back in November 2025, so the table may have already gone through the necessary repair. A rather late post for this review I understand, but at the time, I had gone on a hiatus from posting reviews.
We stopped here for a light dinner, because we wanted to pick our own ingredients for personal hotpots. I really wished there was another broth flavor like bone broth or chicken, as I'm not huge on spicy. We both ended up with Non-Spicy Umami Seafood Broth which was ok... Maybe the mala broths are better? There were lots of ingredient options and a sauce bar. Staff was friendly, and the interior is nice! Plenty of parking in the plaza.
They offer a delightful variety of seafood balls, showcasing fresh and flavorful options that seafood lovers will truly appreciate. However, the selection of meat is somewhat limited, with fewer choices available. When it comes to their beef, it tends to be on the richer, fattier side, which may appeal to those who enjoy a more indulgent cut. Service here is efficient and straightforward--professional without unnecessary frills, making for a smooth and pleasant dining experience. I chose the seafood broth (Dashi), which was comforting and well-balanced, though it didn't particularly stand out or surprise.
Great place to get Malatang and other Taiwanese items! Prices are great and they have a wide selection of items at the food and sauce bar. Service was great, lots of parking, restaurant was nice and clean. I highly recommend and would come back!
Malatang is in Bothell!! Location is great, in a shopping plaza with lots of nice cafes and chain-eateries. The interior of the restaurant is clean, nicely decorated, and spacious. This is a nice plus compared to similar Malatang restaurants in the Seattle/Eastside area. Shout out to the staff, they were all EXTREMELY friendly, attentive, and provided great service. 19 Gold seats you at the beginning of the dining experience, and you are provided menus. You are then prompted to the food selection area, then to the weighing of the food. $14.99 / lb (as of 11/10/2025) for Malatang is a better price than competing locations. You pay after you eat, different than other competing locations as well. My partner and I ordered the super rich and tomato broth, which we both found underwhelming at first, requiring pinches of salt to taste. I ordered 3 Stars (Spicy), it was not spicy at all. The sauce bar had all the essentials and when combined with the newly improved salt added broth, our experience was greatly improved. Although 19 Gold comes equipped with all the Malatang essentials (around 80 ingredients to pick and choose from), it is a smaller selection than nearby competitors. The beer prices were fair and a huge plus were the chilled glasses that accompanied them. Major points for this detail. We thought that the meat quality was below par, and many non-meat ingredients were soaked in water. Although not perfect, I would still recommend friends and families to give 19 Gold a try because they offer great value, in a convenient location, with the interior well lit and decorated. Our party left feeling full and our soup cravings satisfied.
My new favorite soup spot! Oh my gosh! It's so good. Broths are flavorful and spicy if wanted. I love the tripes and bamboo shoots the most! Def come back...oh and the server is fantastic!
19 Gold prides itself as the first Seattle Taiwanese Malatang. While I've had malatang before, this spot is a bit different from other hot pot places. The menu offers protein and vegetable options to choose from to build your own hot pot bowl. Although there are fewer options than other malatang spots, it still the standard to build a good bowl. I got a variety of fish balls, beef and lamb slices, vegetables, and ramen noodles. They have broths such as original malatang, super rich malatang, rich tomato, non-spicy seafood, and dry mix. You can choose your preferred spice level. I chose the rich malatang broth. It was delicious, less oily, and less salty compared to other places, which leaves you feeling better after drinking the soup. Their sauce bar has everything you need from oyster sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, chili oil, sesame sauce, and more. Every bite of the bowl was flavorful, packed with a good amount of spice and sodium. You can't go wrong with what you build in your own bowl. Their service was wonderful, the staff was friendly, and the food came out fast. Something different at this malatang spot is that you pick your booth, they bring you your bowl, and then you pay after. I would definitely go again. I feel satisfied with my time here at 19 Gold, and with $15 for my bowl, I'd say it's worth every penny.
I was excited when i heard 19 gold opened in bothell. I like 19 gold in Fremont and i thought it would be a similar experience. Unfortunately, it wasn't. There is plenty of parking. Inside is open and bright. Picking up your own ingredients and paying was easy. I ordered super rich malatang broth and spicy level. Also ordered popcorn chicken. My soup was around $22 and popcorn chicken was $8. The service was fairly fast and employees were friendly. I would say popcorn chicken was fresh and good. Very crispy. However, my malatang wasn't even completely cooked. The noodles were still stuck to each other and tofu skin wasn't even fully cooked it was too stiff (as u can see in the picture). Broth wasn't too warm nor spicy, it tasted blend to me. I was extremely disappointed since I like malatang, but this place tastes like it's diluted for non-asian taste buds. I am not sure if i would go back.
Service here is great! Unlike other malatang spots, they will seat you first and you don't pay until after your meal. A bit unusual, but I'm not complaining :) The staff are all very attentive and they checked in enough that I felt well taken care of. The variety of meat/seafood/veggies were all pretty standard. They have a smaller variety than other malatang spots, but all the staples were there. The sauce bar had everything I needed, and the original broth was very flavorful. I also tried the malatang dry mix but I didn't taste very much flavor in that one. I hope that they add some more broth choices later on because there were only a few options. They also had some rice dishes on their menu that sounded delicious and I hope to try soon! The variety of drinks were also great but I hope that they add more to the menu, since their Fremont location has even more of a variety it would be nice to try!
Everything looked/tasted fresh and I love that I don't leave smelling like hot pot and the sauce bar- don't have to pay extra for this. The price is very reasonable and they have a wide selection of vegetables, noodles, protein and dumpling. I love it! Ambiance is kind of a hip upbeat vibe- fun to be in.
Not your traditional restaurant experience; you sit down and the server explains the process of ordering in which you go to the salad bar style area and fill up a tray of your hot pot ingredients. They weigh it up and you choose a broth and go sit again. And they'll bring out your prepared bowl. The food was good and fresh but for non spice broth you only get two options; tomato and seafood. The seafood broth was lacking richness and flavor. Also, this place is a microplastic nightmare; they serve your hot pot in a plastic bowl, the water glasses are plastic, and my to go container was black plastic.
Really sad and unsatisfying malatang. The broth is very watered down. I got super rich malatang broth with spice level of spicy but the spicy was mild at best. Also, the food is so undercooked and overcooked at the same time. The potatoes and kabocha all had a bite to it and were only halfway cooked but then the noodles were overcooked. YGF is way better in ingredients and broth flavor. Service is nice though.
I've had 19 gold in Fremont, so was very excited when they opened a second location with a focus on building your own malatang. It makes the experience fun in that you get to customize your soup to your liking. It's super easy to go overboard on toppings, so be a little strategic with what you get otherwise you end up accidentally ordering over two pounds of food lol. Their super rich broth is my favorite and everything ends up tasting so delicious, especially when you can make your own dipping sauce with the build your own sauce bar! I'd recommend ordering their popcorn chicken, it's super crispy and flavorful. Service is super quick, parking is easy, and the restaurant is well ventilated and clean.

I enjoyed eating here. Though this is a Malatang restaurant, I didn't order it last night because I was still full. Both my friend and I ordered the Popcorn Chicken & Egg rice. We loved it. I will try Malatang next time. It's Saturday night, busy, but the place is pretty big. I didn't wait long to be sitted and received our food. The staff were all friendly. Pleasant visit. read more

Love the Fremont location as it's always been consistent for comfort, Taiwanese food. This branch seems to be competing with the trendy pay by weight malatang, which I personally don't care for as much, but I see the perks. Flexible for more people and personal palates or portions. However, I love when restaurants offer specialties that they make all the time because they're typically better combinations and showcase a lot about the restaurant and craft. Unlike other malatang spots, you get seated first before grabbing ingredients which is a plus, because you aren't left hunting down seats. Also unlike other spots, you pay after the meal, which I find a bit weird. I'm already lining up to weigh my bowl and order any extras, might as well pay too. Adds a step after the meal to ask for the check or walk up to the front, just a minor inconvenience I think could be optimized. $14.99 per pound at the time of writing. Four soup bases and four levels of spicy (not spicy, mild, spicy, extra spicy). Overall, soup bases taste solid. Good selection of items, I think more fish ball variety than other spots, if that's your forte. I wish they offered boba at this location too, because it's nice to pair with hot soup, but they do offer a selection of enticing drinks (lemonades and smoothies look refreshing), so will have to come back for those. read more

We were excited to check out this new spot after noticing it just opened. Parking was complimentary, and the ambiance felt open and welcoming. Following the instructions on the wall, we selected our ingredients and brought them to the cashier. We chose the original malatang flavor and received a number stand while we waited. When our order was ready, the server brought it to our table. We also took advantage of the buy-one-get-one-free Thai tea promotion. The service was friendly and efficient, and overall, it was a great experience--we're glad we stopped by! 我們注意到這家新店剛開幕，特地來嘗鮮看看。店家有提供免費停車，整體環境開放且溫馨。依照牆上的指示，我們自己挑選喜歡的食材後拿到櫃檯結帳，這次我們選擇了原味麻辣燙，結帳後會拿到一個號碼牌，等餐點好了服務人員會幫忙送到桌上。 剛好遇到買一送一的優惠活動，我們也點了兩杯泰式冰沙。整體服務親切又有效率，是一次很不錯的用餐體驗，很開心有機會來試試看！ read more

Hi Michelle, thanks for your amazing review and feedback. We are also…
Arrived as soon as they opened. Greeted and sat promptly with an explanation of the process. Interior was well lit and comfortable. Grabbed a tray and tongs, the tray had two compartments so I placed veggies in one and meats in the other. Nice assortment of options although no blood, intestines, tripe, or tendon. Employee accidentally dropped my tray and the manager handled it smoothly. Opted for the original broth while hubby got the super rich. Both were good, I added prickly ash oil to give mine more ma. Also tried their popcorn chicken which had a good crunch and seasoning. read more

Went here for a Sunday dinner and it was not busy so we were able to get seated right away. The staff is super sweet and friendly!! Kind of giving a family service vibe which is nice. I was a little hesitant even the lowest spice level would be too spicy for me that they asked if I wanted to sample and good thing I did because right away I said I'll just take the non-spicy broth for my soup base. It's an eel broth so there is eels flakes in it but still good. I thought the options of vegetables good but the meats options there wasn't that much. Definitely want to come back to try their side dishes though!! read more

Stoked that a malatang spot opened in my area. The restaurant felt very clean and tidy and overheard it opened about a month ago. Concept allows you to grab whatever ingredient you like and place them on your tray. Bring your selections to the counter where it's weighed and you're charged by the weight. There are a few soup bases to choose from but I wanted it to be dry (without soup). Since I asked for mine as takeout, it was packaged really nicely. Don't forget to make your own dipping sauce at their sauce bar! read more

I normally don't write a review within an hour of leaving a restaurant, but I think 19 Gold deserves an exception. They opened about three weeks ago, so for the rest of their soft opening (until the end of June), they're offering 20% off. I love malatang and thought the options for food were great; they had plenty of different vegetables, noodles, and proteins. The sauce bar also had suggestions for common sauces that you could make. As someone who usually doesn't opt for a dipping sauce, I found this super helpful. I got the original broth at a normal spice level, and it was perfect for me. The level of customization was much appreciated, and I was also pleasantly surprised by how much food I was able to get at $15/lb for such a good deal. The employees were friendly and helpful, and I really liked the decor in the restaurant. They had a lot of different Chinese decor, and I thought the restaurant looked very clean and modern. I'm already trying to figure out when I can make good use of the soft opening deal again before the end of the month. Definitely would recommend! read more

Amazing! It's $14.99 per lb with your choice of broth. We really filled up our trays and they were having a 20% discount which resulted in about $30 for two people. The host was so friendly and wonderful. He informed us how it all worked, told us we could ask for very mild if we were worried about spice, and checked in to make sure we could handle the spice we ordered. (I got mild and my partner got medium, and we did great!) If you can't handle spice, there's a no-spice seafood base and a tomato base option as well as their regular (which my partner got) and the super rich (which I got! It was similar to a tonkatsu in richness if you're used to ramen). The whole experience was quick, delicious, easy. We're so excited this is close so we can head back soon! read more

Nice to have a ma la tang restaurant in Bothell. You pick your own ingredients (assortment of veggies, noodles, seafood, meat), choose your broth, and then they cook it for you. Definitely a good place if you like spicy soup. I wish there were more appetizers/sides and drink choices. Kinda surprised they don't have boba milk tea.

Very delicious malatang, decent prices. There are plenty of options including vegetarian. There isn't much service because you basically serve yourself, but the service we did get was very welcoming. Very chill atmosphere. read more
Really great experience! I love that it is customizable in size and ingredients as well as spice level. I was impressed by the variety from the fresh bar. A variety of mushrooms, egg, tofu, noodles, and proteins. Fish ball heaven! The restaurant is on the smaller side so I can see it getting busy. Popcorn chicken was good too! I had heard that the broth was running spicy so I only ordered two stars, but next time I would definitely order three. Also, be mindful when you are filling your tray. It would be very easy to make a very large expensive hot pot. read more
Tried this out once, and have already been back here 3 times! One of my favorite malatang spots in seattle for sure! I always get the original soup base with mild spice (beware anything above medium I feel is quite spicy). Ingredients are really fresh and the soup base is super flavorful. We usually also get the pork rice bowl and popcorn chicken, super good! Tried the red bean pancake once, wasn't super impressed though. Interior is very modern and has a good amount of seating. read more

An unexpected treat! My partner and I went together on a Sunday afternoon, and it was a good mixture of busy but still got great service. It's in a good location so parking was not an issue. The inside is pictured, and it's very clean. It's extremely easy and straightforward to just grab your toppings, and then you pick your broth at the end. I got a mixture of fish balls, an assortment of veggies, and beef. I really liked how the beef is fatty and soaks up the broth well. As someone who doesn't handle spice well, a level 2 (mild) was perfect for me. Overall, it was a great meal and I'd see myself visiting again! read more
I have always loved their first location and so happy they open another one in the North. Keep in mind that in this location the menu is limited because they are doing by lbs Malatang noodles style (like YGF). The options are good and the ingredients are fresh read more

We've been here twice in one week, that's how good this place is! The original broth is delicious and the meats and veggies are high quality and there's a good variety too! Their drinks are made and blended behind the counter too! Our new go-to malatang spot! It's definitely a must try! The staff are super nice too and explained everything on the menu and how to order read more

19 Gold Hot Pot has a great selection, and the sauce bar is excellent. I really liked the umami, non-spicy seafood broth. It's a solid choice if you can't handle spicy soup but still want something flavorful. read more
This is definitely now one of my to make your own hot pot spots. It's a classic pay by weight. But pricing is good, we get super full and spend about $50 on two people with drinks. They have a good selection. The options include various noodles, vegetables, protein, lots of fish ball options, including ones with roe, seafood, and your own mix your own dipping sauce I do feel like the service is super friendly here, you get greeted right away, get seated right away and they check up on you. The ambience is really nice. I would not say it gives anything super special but it is very clean and modern and has unique elements the exterior I would not say is really giving you really cannot tell what the inside experience or vibe is going to be just based on the outside, but it does have plenty of free parking because it is in a strip mall. I would definitely come here again, I have been here twice now, and when I am not wanting to go to a hot hot spot where I order something premade, which I still do sometimes because sometimes I don't wanna do it, but when I don't, I definitely would wanna come here. read more

My first time trying this type of soup base meal. Place is smaller but very clean. As I got there after they just open. You basically pick the ingredients you want in your soup and they weigh the tray and cook the ingredient in the soup of your choice. Your ingredients choices varies from vegetables to meats. I got mostly balls(lobster, fish, beef& etc) with alittle bit of noodles in the original malatang soup base at 2 star spicyness out of 5. I must say it definitely hit the spot and a nice change from pho and wonton noodle soup. I will definitely be back when the weather gets alittle colder. This is definite worth try if your looking for a quick soup base meal. read more

Great addition to the area that's starved of nearby Asian options. We first tried the Fremont location a couple of years ago and were happy to find good Taiwanese food in Seattle, even if it was a bit far. Nice to see a non-spicy tang option for those who want to skip the spice. Ingredients were fresh and plentiful, overall setup easy to navigate and clean. We got popcorn chicken as a side but we'll try some others next time. I recommend this to all! Hoping that once things settle they'll offer braised pork, rice plates, and other Taiwanese staples they offer at the Fremont location. read more

Ordered super rich malatang broth for me and rich tomato broth for my 7 year old daughter as well as a half-sugar mango green tea. There are so many ingredients to choose from. My favorite are lamb, fish ball and instant-type noodle and my daughter's favorite are quail egg and udon noodle. We both like the taste very much and finish the whole bowl! The service is also fast and attentive read more
