    Very authentic Sichuan hot pot, with fresh ingredients and no pre-prepared dishes, highly recommended.

    Handcrafted by a true Chongqing native, each hot pot base uses pure beef tallow simmered with over thirty spices for three hours--rich in CLA, oleic acid, and vitamins A, D, E, K--authentic, healthy, and flame-resistant.

    The best and most authentic Sichuan hotpot in Atlanta! ! ! !  Super delicious. The ingredients feel delicious.

    Delicious hot pot. It's perfect when the weather cools down. The food is fresh. The hot pot base tastes just like the one you'd find in Sichuan, China. I love it.

    Wow!!!! 10/10 hot pot experience! The owner Alina was so hospitable and attentive, she made me feel right at home! The broth was so rich and flavorful, the meat and veggies were so fresh and tasty, it was amazing! I will most certainly be back but next time I'm bringing friends!

    So good

    Before coming, you should definitely expect VERY typical Chinese service, meaning if you want something, you have to go and ask or just get it yourself. It's not offensive to them and it's also what they expect of you, rather than the American tableside service of waiters coming up to check on you every few minutes. With that being said, it's not unusual to look up and have trouble finding the employees (there was really only 1 main person who was both hosting, taking orders, and serving while I was there). It would also help to have a Chinese speaker to better explain what you want/need. The broths weren't as flavorful as I was hoping, but I have yet to find a truly flavorful location in Georgia (I come from the SGV in Cali, so IYKYK). However, they have a VERY vast selection of sauces, so it made the food taste good regardless of the broth flavor. Another hack for any situation where you have bland broth is to go to the sauces and make some broth base to throw into your broth--it'll amp up the flavor too. People do that all the time at Din Tai Fung in China. The mala broth with level 2 out of 5 spice level was barely spicy (couldn't taste it), so ramp it up for 3 or more, especially if you are used to actual mala broth (those of you who are accustomed to Chongqing level spice...go up to 5, you won't break a sweat). I do eat fairly spicy though, so if you're spiced out by kimchi then you should stick with 1 or 2. 3 or 4 is probably the usual Szechuan spice level in GA and 5 is probably a little more than that. The meats aren't the best quality--they're not particularly soft and flavor is rather bland (I couldn't tell what was beef, pork, or lamb!), but it's not awful. The fresh fish paste and shrimp paste are quite good, and the veggies are nice and clean. They don't give a whole lot at a time though, so if you're big eaters, plan to hunt down the employees and order often. Overall, this place is the best I've had in Georgia so far, but not by much, and a far, far cry from Cali. If anyone knows of any other AYCE chinese hot pot places in GA, let me know! I'm still on the hunt!

    FOR THE AREA...its nice! Actually very great in my opinion because the authentic chinese hot pot options are not toooo vast in this area. For the experience and everything, i wouldnt say it's anything "special" .. just standard and authentic. There was a sauce bar and everything, but i noticed their chili oil had tons of whole chillies in it, which is pretty cool. We had a table for 4, and they sat us in the center. Water was leaking from the roof... they just told us to scoot over. We felt kinda weird by that since they were not busy at all and didn't suggest us to be moved. So needless to say, typical chinese service. But what can you expect anyways. My problem was more with the broth too. Mushroom & Spicy broth was chosen, Spicy broth was pretty good, but the mushroom was lacking any drop of flavor.. i dont know if it is me or what but i just have had a lot better.

    At the end of the meal, so yummy!

    MLBB Hot Pot is one of my favorite spots in Metro Atlanta. This is a terrific AYCE hot pot spot…read morewith an incredible selection of items. There even is a soda fountain if you're anything like me and live off Diet Coke. Service has always been on point during my family's visits to MLBB. Drinks get refilled quickly, additional broth is added almost before we ask, and dirty plates get whisked away very quickly. There's a lot of premium or "premium" type of ingredients like pig intestines that you don't really expect to find at that many hot pot spots. I love pig intestines, and I'm proud of it. Heh, but like really, don't knock it till you try it. I'll always recommend MLBB first for people looking for a hot pot spot in the Metro Atlanta area.

They have skewers with bite sized meat wrapped around different veggies and mushrooms. I got the impression that they care about their customer's every bite. The veggies, fish balls, and other perishable ingredients were kept inside the refrigerator. The shaved meats, appetizers, and other dishes you can order through a QR code menu. The table was set up conveniently with mini trash bags that were out of your way (you can put the finished skewers), a small cart next to the table for you to put empty dishes or drink bottles and whatever else you wanted. They also bring out the meat and set them here. It gives you more room on the table for you to actually enjoy your meal. We got the two flavor broth today. The Malatang is actually spicy so when you order classic spicy, ask for medium spicy. The other broth we got was the mushroom broth. They were both good but the spicy soup for us was tongue numbing spicy that made my tea tastes like seltzer water. Haha I have learned my lesson for my next visit here. If you haven't tried this place already, put it on top of your hot pot or soupy restaurant list for a chilly or rainy day. Please let me know what you thought of it after your experience! They offer plenty of parking in this plaza.

    This was my FIRST TIME trying malatang, and I absolutely fell in LOVE! Mala pricing was super fair…read moreat about $14.99/lb. My bowl wound up being a little over $25, so don't be overzealous with what you want! They had a great range of meats and veggies. There were some chair/table and booths in the back. Parking was convenient and easy, free parking lot in front of the restaurant.The people working were really nice, especially when I told them it was my first time. This place has a lot of options like different types of mala and other food combos. It was a great introduction experience. The food came piping hot and within 15-20 minutes? There was some waiting time but I think that's fair considering that they are essentially making your food into a hotpot. I chose the second level of spice, and they don't joke around with their spice level. I could definitely feel the numbing spice feeling. Also, I was able to get my soup to go because I could not finish. I'd love to come back and try a different mala option.

The good: No limits on what or how much you can order -- you can select everything at once instead of waiting between rounds. The space is large, well-staffed, and I've never had to wait for a table. The menu has a wide variety (beef, pork, chicken, seafood), and the meat quality and seasonings are excellent. Service has also been great -- the team is still learning since they're new, but they're friendly and eager to help. The bad: Ordering through the tablet can get confusing since it doesn't show which items have already been delivered. It leaves you guessing whether to reorder or wait. Hopefully, they'll fine-tune that system soon. Overall, the positives far outweigh the negatives. I've already been back and plan to keep coming -- this place is a great imo.
