Temporarily closed for business for the second time! I called the restaurant telephone number and the owner told me they would reopen again in about two weeks. Not sure exactly why this keeps happening, but definitely will be back for their delicious soup base! read more

I got the medium spice secret soup special (beef and pork bone mix). My girlfriend got the medium beef bone. the ingredients here are great and they don't skim out on you at all. The soup base is great and nearly 4lbs of food is only close to 40 bucks after tax with two persons (We paid in cash). We couldn't finish it and took it home next day and just add some noodles and that's another meal. The soup is a bit oily though so if you want less oil you can get the beef bone soup instead or lower the spice. But I love it because the oil carries the flavor over after you take it home for a second meal. Bonus: They don't charge for your sauce that you can pick and choose to your liking, you also get served water with a tea bag inside of a jug. read more

LXF Malatang - Hot Pot Near Me - Walnut, California

Its a self service hot pot with beef bone, pork bone, or secret soup base. They just opened three days ago, so it was empty. Just us. We were about to go to the pizza next door when we saw this place. Inside is spacious but a bit hot. The lady was very friendly read more

This is our favorite Malatang spot, we have been to a lot.. from San Diego, LA, and the Bay Area. We love their secret soup and their meats and veggies. It is a smaller location but their service is fast and efficient. If you like low-key but delicious Malatang spot, this is the place to go. Also, we don't live in the area but we drive for an hour just to have dinner here. read more

I was craving something hot and spicy for lunch, and as a fan of malatang, I found this place on Yelp and decided to check it out. Right now, they're running a promotion--$9.99/lb instead of $13.99/lb --which is a great deal! They offer a wide selection of meats, vegetables, and noodles. I chose the pork broth with medium level of spiciness, and it was perfect. The sauce counter has plenty of options, allowing me to customize the flavor to my liking. The only small hiccup was that they only provided disposable plates for the sauce instead of bowls. A small bowl would make mixing and dipping much easier. Overall, the food was delicious, and the customer service was excellent. The lady, who I believe is the owner, was very friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I'm so excited they opened a hot pot place in Walnut that goes by weight. The current special is $9.99lb. The person who told me, which I believe is the owner, said it would last for about a month so I'm assuming until the end of January 2025. After that I believe it will go back to the price of $13.99/lb. We've only done take out. They asked me if I wanted my soup and ingredients together or separate. They have the mala type of soup and have a good selection of ingredients. They have the wide potato noodle and rice noodle and a bunch of other dry noodle options on the top of the counter. I like that they offer pigs blood and pig intestine as well. They don't have tomato soup or satay sauce, which can be found in maybe other hot pot places. The soup is more on the liquidy side versus the thick brothy type. The owner is super nice even though her english is limited. She tries her best and is really kind. There's about 12-15 tables and they weigh your food towards the back of the restaurant. I'll be back and I hope they stick around! read more

This review is for a delivery order. My goodness... of all the Malatangs I've had lately this one has the BEST soup taste! It's so rich and overall has a surprisingly great taste. I've expected much less from the pictures but trust me the TASTE is good! The portions are also pretty good; I've had places where they are too skimpy. They have a good deal right now on DD, would continue to order as long as they have that! read more

This was one of, if not the best Malatang hot pot places I have ever been to. The food tasted so fresh, and they were constantly restocking items. The soup was flavorful, and having a self-serve sauce bar was amazing. My plate was only $18, and after eating until full, I still had half to take home, and the server even packed it for me without question. 10/10 would come back! Walls and floors were clean, and nicely decorated as well. read more

I actually love this place; I always get the tomato broth and I'm a big fan of rice noodles so I always load up my bowl with rice noodles (probably more than I should since it is by weight lol). All of the meat and toppings were being refilled when I went during peak hours, but even when I've been there during off hours, someone is usually checking to replace anything empty. I'm also a big fan of their sesame sauce compared to other malatang places I've been to in the area, and their sate sauce is good as well once mixed with other things. Service is just normal, nothing exceptional but maybe that's because I don't speak mandarin. I make this place my weekly stop whenever I'm with my girlfriend in the area and we share a $30 bowl which comes out to $15 a person and that isn't so bad. Parking is bountiful as it's in a big lot shared with Vons. Hopefully this place stays open for a while and that people see this review and make the trip to try it! Definitely a great lowkey hole in the wall compared to the larger and busier malatangs I've been to. read more

Pay by the pound hot pot spot in the Vons complex. Came here with my parents for dinner on a Sunday around 5:30 and we're able to have our choice of table, though by 6:30 the place was full and people were waiting to get seated. The concept is that you pick which items you want in your hot pot and then get it weighed so you know how much to pay. From there, you also pick the spice level and type of broth for them to cook it for you, and then bring it out. I opted for the special broth which was a mix of beef and pork at a medium spicy level, and was satisfied. There's a good section of meats, veggies, and noodles. There's a sauce bar as well for you to create your own combinations. They bring your pot out to you once it. Is cooked and you can use the smaller bowls to eat from it, or eat directly from the pot. There's a water dispenser for you to serve yourself. Credit cards are accepted. I ended up getting 1.5 lbs of food but the prices are still reasonable and I had leftovers the next day. read more

This place took over Ramen Ken and just opened less than a week ago. They don't speak English very well, so it can be slightly confusing at first, but it's straightforward. You serve yourself by grabbing the ingredients. You pay based on weight, so grab as little or as much as you want. Bring it to the counter and the staff will weigh it for you. You can then pick your soup and how spicy you want it. Grab a seat and make your sauce at the sauce bar. They will bring out your food to the table when it's ready. You pay when you are done eating. It is quite affordable and it is close enough for residents of Walnut to enjoy hot pot without having to drive out of the city. The staff is very nice and friendly. Here is hoping they do well! read more

Extremely great and fun service. I loved how sweet the waiter was to my friends and I when I asked her how to make a chopstick holder out of a chopstick wrap, she even gave us free dessert. I loved how cheap the food was- including how diverse their variety of food was and the homely-feel aesthetic in the restaurant. read more

I can't say enough good things about this hot pot place. I like their selections and how they don't put all the ingredients at once. I like pumpkin slices and every other malatang places I go to manage to melt it completely cos they put everything all at once, but not LXF! We'll keep coming back here! read more

Affordable & reasonable pricing for home-style Chinese Malatang. The food quality is fine. The manager and staffs are very courteous. Wish to go more often, but the pricing was raised. So it's economical to just eat at home using the same hotpot sauce that you can buy from the market read more

I've been here twice now and it's been really good!

Their sauce bar is also really nice and the restaurant is small but cozy. read more

I liked this place so much that I came back with my daughter (picky eater) to let her try. She does not eat spicy at all, so she ordered the bone broth non spicy. I ordered the special broth medium spicy and it was so good. I think the best part is the dipping sauce bar, with a lot of choices including peanut butter and sesame sauce. My daughter liked her food and asked me to come back often. read more

Absolutely delicious broth. Great for people who want hotpot and don't want AYCE. You fill up a bowl with what you want and bring it to the register. Tell them the soup you want and they weigh your order. Then they cook it for you and bring it to your table. They don't just drop everything in the pot and cook to boil. I think they cook things in order so they're all at the right amount of doneness. It's been days since I tried this place and I still think about the broth :) As for parking, it's located in a plaza so there's plenty of parking. read more

Stopped by this place for a weeknight dinner with my parents and was very happy with our experience! You basically just get a bowl and choose which ingredients you'd like at a self-service bar, then you pick out your broth and pay by weight. They have lots of noodle, veggie, and meat options. I chose the pork bone broth and it was delicious! My parents both got the secret broth and I think I actually liked theirs better. The workers don't speak the best English but they're very friendly and helpful. We'll definitely come back here again! read more

LXF Malatang - Pork bone broth - Hot Pot Near Me - Walnut, California

Food is pretty good and the price is right. I think they need to hire a couple more worker to help that single lady who's doing it all. Speaking of that. I asked when I order if I can a bowl of rice and she's said okay. While waiting for maybe water cups and chopsticks another party came in and got seated and oh they got their water and all that while I'm sitting here like a smuck without anything. So I went up and got my own stuff anyways I got my order first while my wife order came 10 min later. I asked if she had my rice after after 10 mins and she said oh making new batch maybe 10 mins so that's already 20 mins in. After my wife order came I went to see where my rice was and she said oh another 10 mins. Okay well if I knew I wasn't getting my rice I would have gotten some noodles then but nope I didn't even bother asking the third time. Never the less the food is pretty good sooo I'll bring my own rice next Time read more

I think this might be the best Malatang I've had in this area. I love how there's tons of choices of soup base, even for the non spicy options as well! They also have lots of choices of ingredients, some of which aren't even available in any other places. Everything is clean and you can tell they spend a lot of work on making sure the ingredients are in good condition. Definitely recommend this place! read more

I love LXF MALATANG ^_^!! The owner is so sweet and really cares for her customers and the broth is very flavorful, I recommend the secret broth which is just the beef + pork broth mixed together.

Great place for malatang. Price is very reasonable and the secret broth is tasty. Sliced meat selection might be on the smaller side, but they have all the other hot pot staples. I like that they give a ton of soup, enough to take leftover broth home. There's really only 1 lady at the front doing all the serving, but she's quick considering she's doing everything herself. Definitely a place I'd come back to. read more
