Large variety of options, and cheaper than many other Malatang options! Around a 15 minute wait.

Tasty hotpot made for you - comes with rice and a red rice porridge dessert. I typically load up on veggies and like both the golden chicken soup broth and dry mix spicy hot pot. Cost is by the pound ($13.50 per pound as of this writing) - IMO, the variety can't really be beat at that price unless you and 4 friends all chip-in for hot pot at home together and I'm certainly not doing that every week Note: they only offer takeout, typical wait time after you hand them your picked ingredients is 15-20 min. read more

I was really excited to try Chengduer Malatang, it's located in a very convenient spot next to the streetcar, buses, and light rail! It's take out only but they have three seats if you decided to eat there. The food selection was fine! My favorites were the large sweet potato vermicelli and the beef slices. I was a little disappointed by the lack of fish and veggies but the noodle selection made up for it. Unfortunately even the extra mild spicy was too hot for me. I think they tend to give a more concentrated broth than other malatang places. The packaging is so cool! There's a seal and a plastic lid for the malatang so it's extra secure. It also comes with rice and red bean soup. I'd come back if I wanted malatang in CID but I think I prefer YGF more, up in Udist. They have a better broth and more options. The one plus of this place is that the staff's music taste is great :) read more

Chengduer Malatang - Mild spicy - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Located in the heart of international district, this is one of my fav spots for malatong! It's a pay by the weight, which is nice for days when I'm too full for an AYCE hot pot. They have great variety in the selection of noodles, vegetables, meats, and other sides. Quick and friendly service, and they also have sanitary covers on the foods, which is a nice touch. read more

I'd do 3.5 stars, ordered the regular and mild. My regular was spicy, hot and super delicious. My girl got the mild and it wasn't super mild for her, the beef she found inedible and for some reason didn't like it at all. Both orders came with rice and a cooling purple rice dessert. I found the servicing size perfect, flavors good (purple rice was good) and the cost was awesome. Napkins they provide are a bit too light/too thin to do anything especially for a spicy noodle dish that's super oily. read more

Love this place for best Mala Dry Pot / Mala Xiang Guo in Seattle. Just enough Mala and the included toppings of green onion, garlic, etc plus included rice make it the best deal in town. Definitely consider for takeout when you don't want to commit to full hot pot next door. read more

Super friendly staff and cheaper than nearby malatang competitors!! It's $13.50 a pound and has all the staples of every good malatang place :) Also has a bunch of different types of noodles to try (taro noodle, yam pasta, soft pasta) Good for takeout!

We love this place because they have decent Malatang options, package our orders with rice and bean soup, and is extremely convenient for a quick and yummy meal. Keep in mind they only do takeout. read more

My partner and I have been eyeing this beautiful location after one of our favorite Malatang places closed. We finally came in on my birthday and it is absolutely adorable in here. The food is very well kept and maintained, the atmosphere is clean and pleasing to the eye. And the staff was really kind and communicative. I would highly recommend this location to anyone who loves traditional Malatang with a little modern spin. read more

Came in for a pickup order one day off Chowbus. Normally these apps give a lot of leeway but despite an 11:40 pickup they hadn't even started by the time I got there. On top of that, the person they were trying to help had been waiting for 10 minutes because they had some issue with their payment system and ultimately had to cancel their order. We finally received our order at 12:05, so 25 minutes after the expected time. I'm not sure how recently they opened if these are new restaurant opening pains or what, but it was surprisingly difficult to get food in a timely manner for what is presented as a quick option Food was fine, 3.5/5, pretty standard. But since it's DIY you can potentially run into skill issue. read more

Food is always fresh and the staff are very kind and helpful. There is a good selection of items to put in your malatang and the price is great for seattle. read more

Really nice place next to Chengdu Memory!! I love the hot pot next door but without a big group, it's hard to justify eating there. Having a Malatang place here is a genius move by ownership. We got the golden chicken broth and the extra mild spicy one. Comes with a free bowl of rice also which is great! 5/5 all the way! read more

$13.50 a pound for malatang which is pretty cheap Each item has its own grabbing utensil to prevent cross contamination Taste wise, a bit salty read more

The packaging is unreal for the low price. Like bro, this is too good to be true. And the internal design and how clean the inside of the store is next level compared with other Malatang stores. And thank you Jacqueline for taking my order although it was like 1 min after closing time already . I will make sure I come earlier than 9PM in the future! read more

We visited chengduer malatang on chilly night and we were immediately pleased by the staff and friendly atmosphere. The food is clean, fragrant, and delicious. Will be coming back for more! read more

Really appreciate how clean it is here, especially since it's a self-service type place. Selection is pretty decent too. I would prefer a chicken base that uses pure chicken but given the super yellow color of the broth, I'm guessing that they add bouillon. Not a deal breaker but not my personal preference. Biggest negative is that it took like 40 minutes for them to cook our food. read more

Chengduer Malatang - Food bar area - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Absolutely unacceptable experience. I placed my order at 12:19 PM and didn't receive my food until over an hour later. This is a build your own takeout malatang restaurant, so I expected a reasonable wait--but not one that took up my entire hour lunch break and then some. What made the experience even more frustrating was the complete lack of communication. The cashier never apologized, never warned anyone that the kitchen was running behind, and never offered a single update. About 40 minutes in, I finally asked for a status update and was simply told, "Almost." That was it. After my coworker received her order, the cashier looked at my other coworker and I and said our food was ready, but there was "no one in the back to pack it." We then had to sit there for another 10 minutes waiting for someone to put it in a bag. Meanwhile, we watched multiple customers who ordered after us receive their food before we did. After wasting over an hour of our lunch break, the food itself was incredibly disappointing. The ingredients were overcooked, the broth was bland, and it absolutely was not worth the wait. The service was disorganized, the communication was nonexistent, and the food didn't make up for any of it. I won't be coming back, and I definitely wouldn't recommend this place if you're on any kind of time limit. read more

Chengduer Malatang - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I had high hopes for this place since it's one of the few to-go malatang spots nearby, but my experience was extremely disappointing. I came in during my lunch break, and there weren't many people ahead of me. Despite that, my order took over an hour to be ready. Even more frustrating, I watched multiple customers who arrived after us receive their food first. There didn't seem to be any organization or consistency in how orders were being prepared. For a business that's takeout only, order management should be one of the biggest priorities. They really need a better system for tracking and prioritizing in-store pickup orders versus online orders. Waiting over an hour for a simple takeout order during lunch is unacceptable, especially when others who came later are served first. Unless the ordering process improves, I wouldn't recommend coming here if you're on any kind of schedule. read more

The best malatang in Seattle, yes better than YGF. The toppings was so fresh and high quality. Sure not a huge variety but the broth the and items were so good. Food took a bit long than expected. Overall I'd recommend and come back! Didn't know it came with rice and a dessert. read more

Cute and clean! Food looks fresh and delicious! Yum, I would come here again :) I love Malatang and this was very easy to figure out. The staff was also quick to help explain the process of grabbing a bowl and tongs, adding the ingredients I wanted (needs to be a minimum of 1lb) and then choosing the soup base/flavor. I opted for the dry mix spicy hot pot. It is To Go only, no seating available. read more

Cute spot in ID, came here for a friends birthday and the experience was great. Staff was friendly and answered all question. Wish they had more options to pick from! read more

Yum!! Came on a Friday evening and there was no wait. The selection is pretty decent. Cleanliness was a little questionable but seems to have changed since I went. The broth here was super super tasty!! Perfect amount of mala, spices, and meaty flavors. I like how they give you a side of rice and the sweet bean dessert. Price is also reasonable. I have yet to try their sister restaurant next door. Pretty reasonable price for malatang in ID. The only con here is it is takeout only which may be inconvenient if you live farther away. Definitely must try malatang spot. This is a close second after ygf for me. read more

Terrible service. Came for lunch with coworkers. Spent our whole lunch just waiting for the food. My order was submitted at 12:18pm and I didn't get it until 1:18pm. It wasn't even hot and we spent our whole lunch waiting for food. We never got an update while waiting. When we asked how much longer the response was I don't know. There were 6 people that came in after us that all got their food well before we did. No apologies for the long wait no nothing. Food was over cooked, I'm assuming because it just sat for so long. The flavor was bland. Definitely not worth the wait or the money. Service is horrible. For how long we waited it is not worth it. read more

Chengduer Malatang - After waiting an hour all I got was overcooked bland food. - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Super tasty and great packaging. They have this noodle called the soft hollow pasta and I haven't seen it at any other malatang place in Seattle. It's the best noodle ever. Service was great! The two girl workers were very nice. Be aware that this place is small so expect them some time for the order to get ready. I just walk around Chinatown and come back later to pick up my order. read more

Solid spot for malatang. The service here is pretty good, all the available ingredients on display look fresh. The last time I ordered from this place, the soup was flavorful and it came with rice bean desert that was a nice touch. read more

It's a nice and easy alternative to the full hot pot experience next door. The ingredients are fresh and cooked well, wish there was a bit more variety in the options to match other malatang places in the area. Also, just a warning that the mild option is still very spicy but delicious! read more

The food was good. But wished they had a scale so we could weigh our own food. Too easy to over spend.

Food is good with lots of options! Wait time takes about 20 minutes but worth it. Will come back again.

This place really amazed me!! Very beautiful inside and product looks fresh and clean. They are just soft opening the 2nd day, got a pair of cute panda bowls as gift. And the most important is, the food tastes very good. It's a must come back spot! read more

This place was empty when I arrived, shortly after noon, BUT it was the Monday after Superbowl. It is a take-out only spot with a 1 lb. minimum. There were lots of fresh ingredients to choose from, and the cashier was kind enough to let me know I could top off my bowl that was shy 1 lb. I ordered #2 extra mild spicy broth and found it quite spicy (equiv. to 3 stars at a Thai restaurant). Overall, the flavor was good, but on the oily side. I like that they cut the napa leaf when they took it in the back to cook. Everything was packed nicely and the soup lid was sealed shut to prevent any risk of leaking. Bonus was that rice, dessert, utensils, and a fancy takeout bag were included. The bag made it easy for me to carry the 6 blocks back to the office and kept everything piping hot. Note that the utensil pack contained the teeniest of napkins. Since the soup was on the greasy side, you will need at least a couple of full-sized napkins as you will be continuously wiping splatter from your face, and the surrounding area while you eat. Small price to pay for a delicious lunch. read more
