You order using a QR code and pay at the end at the cashier. Prices were decent. A bowl of freshly made noodles was around 15 to 16 dollars. It was a large bowl of noodles! We appreciated they provided the table with a pair of scissors (those noodles were really long!) Staff was friendly and got our orders to us really quickly.

Everything we ordered came out fresh and well-prepared, and you can really tell there's care put into the food. If you're a fan of the type of food you get at 88 Bao Bao, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. In my opinion, it's a step above, with a much wider variety of dishes and plenty of choices beyond the usual favorites. Their beef rolls are especially worth ordering, they're much more substantial, packed with flavor, and very satisfying. Another thing that really stood out to me is the space. The restaurant is relatively clean, open, and spacious, which makes the overall experience much more comfortable than some of the smaller, crowded spots in the area. If you're ever near 99 Ranch in Concord, put this place on your list. Great food, generous portions, good service, and a comfortable atmosphere make it well worth checking out. I'll definitely be back to try more of their dishes!

While sitting there, we watched staff at the counter focus entirely on packing a massive backlog of takeout and online orders instead of attending to dine-in guests. When we did see staff, our waitress seemed completely unapproachable and never smiled-we actually saw the delivery robot more often than our server. While the interior is nice, the music was uncomfortably loud. Dine-in customers shouldn't take a back seat to online orders. It completely ruined our experience.

We looked at the menu and ordered, and then we got some of banchan / veggie side dishes for our meal. We ordered the following - Japchae - noodles appetizer. Was a very decent size for an appetizer as well. The kids really enjoyed this. Tofu Stew - i usually get this spicy, but since my daughter didn't want spice, we got it not spicy at all. Tofu was soft and the beef was alright. This dish was on the more saltier side in our opinions, but wonder if the spice they would have added would have balanced out the saltiness. The side of rice helped cut the saltiness as well. Bimbimbap - love these stone bowl rice dishes! Was pretty standard and we added a fried egg on top as well. My son was a fan of this dish. I expected a bit more. Kalbijjim - the must dish to get here! We ordered the MINI one since we were sharing everything, and we didn't add on any toppings. The dish came and it was really big and amazing. However, either the person didn't hear me or ignored me, it turned out it was the regular size as we were charged $80+ for it instead of the $30 mini size one. It was really tasty - both the short ribs on the bones and not on the bone. There were radish, potato, and rice cakes mixed in there as well. If we knew we were getting a regular one, I would have liked some toppings such as corn or something... not too sure what happened there, but it was still really tasty. We had a bit leftover and were given a box with no lid. They would seal the box with the plastic wrap thingy. Would come back again.

Before I get into the food I need to say their Thai Coffee was literally just sugar. My first sip…read morewas like a sugar bomb. I got it to go, no ice so I could have it the next morning. It was soooooo sweet I had to add espresso to it to even make it remotely drinkable. That was an absolute disappointment to be honest. Food: I got the spring rolls as appetizers. Very fair sized spring rolls. I loved them and prob the best part of the meal. I added shrimp for $3 extra? But they add something inside that makes it a little more bright and it was really good. The dipping sauce was great too. Idk what it was but it def was better than a standard peanut dipping sauce. I got the Khaopiak (chicken udon), and my sister got the Khaosoi (minced pork noodles). Mine was not spicy, the broth was clear but I don't think mine supposed to come spicy. The broth is very rich and it tasted very good. Noodles are handmade and they had great texture. I did add a ton of the chili oil that was provided at the table and it def added the kick I wanted. My sisters Khaosoi definitely looked like it was supposed to be spicy, and she has been here before and said it def lacked the spice. I wonder if the people taking the order forgot to ask about spice level? If your name is SPICY Joi, your food should be spicy? Our friend got the Khaopoon/Chicken Curry but idk if she liked it lol. Overall, disappointed by the coffee. Noodles were missing spice, and the best part of the meal was my spring rolls.

Whenever I go here, I get the tomato broth with different veggies--bok choy, seaweed, lotus root--pork belly, fish roe balls, and fresh ramen (my fave). The ambience is chill and the people there are nice. There is ample seating for lots of people. The interior has a nice pop of color as well. I will definitely continue coming here!

Located in the Park & Shop, just a bit further right from 99 Ranch, you will find yourself at…read moreZhangliang Malatang, wedged between quite a few other eating/beverage places. Zhangliang Malatang offers a soupy experience, where you get the options to build your own soup. The soups themselves are already flavored and made, but what you do get to edit is what actually goes in it. It's a decently sized place, while lots of small tables could certainly be pieced together if need be for larger tables over at the booth side of the restaurant. It's basically all self-service here, from what you want in your meal, to the condiments (which there are plenty) that may go with it. They do offer things other than just soup based cooking style, as they have a stir fried chow mein of sort too if you decide to go that route, though do beware that apparently they only have the one sauce for that cooking style, and it's pretty spicy, so if you go that route just know that there will be no flexibility for that at all flavor wise. How about the ingredients here? I've been to other similar places like this before, for example, Tang Bar, which also does this pick your own ingredients thing and they soup it or stir fry it for you. I'd say between the two though, the quality of ingredients at Zhangliang is probably a bit better than those other places, though selection options are about the same, but Zhangliang still have a few options that I usually don't see at the other spots. I also feel the ingredients here just feel fresher overall, albeit still frozen for some, but even then fresher. Again, you can make your own base here, so you don't have to get the noodles if you don't want to because it will just come as a soup regardless. If you just want soup and not noodle soup, that's fine. Though, a bit of warning, everything is counted by weight (minus the soup), so just don't get too happy putting stuff in because it all looks so good because speaking from personal experience, it will go over your expected cost very quickly depending on what you got. Watch out for that noodles weight! Service here is usually pretty good. Even though it's self service mostly, you still have to go up to the front to pay, and then let them know what flavor of soup base or cooking style you want. Never had an issue, they were willing to answer questions and such. The condiments bar while you are waiting for the arrival of your food to get prepared and finished is usually where you should go. I generally just pack up on the garlic for the most part because there can never be too much garlic in your soup. That's right, I said never! Just kidding. But the point is that there's plenty of condiments and you can get as much as you like. I also personally like to make a sesame peanut sauce since all the ingredients are there for me to do so for when I pull food out of my soup I can also dip them into that sauce, similar to what you do at hotpots. Once you get your food, you will be able to test out the ingredients first hand since they're not ready to be eaten. I feel almost everything I get each time I go in, I've been happy with them being in my soup, so no complaints there as it's always been tasty. Final verdict, Zhangliang Malatang is a great place to go to if you're in a soupy mood. The Malatang part is also for those who are spicy adventurous and interested in making their tongue feel the burn. I've had the spicy stuff here before and it is indeed very spicy, but I would not recommend for most if you can't handle it. Noodles are always great, but they are deceptive because that's usually where much of the food weight will be coming from in your bowl if you go too heavy. Ingredients over noodles for the best bang for buck. I would recommend this spot for those who are in the mood for hotpot, but don't want that tenuous and slower hotpot experience.
