such attentive customer service & the food is really yummy! The shop is also really clean and well organized, definitely will return :)

The medium spicy beef broth was so tasty. Def has a lot of Szechuan pepper in it. Their beef & lamb were fresh. Just wish they had more options for vegetables .. we really liked the noodles they had. The only thing yin tang has over this would be that yin tang has fish balls with roe in it. Otherwise we would come back to mala master if it wasn't so far.

Build your own sauce! I love chili and garlic, excuse my breath

BYOS Heaven Build Your Own Soup is the name of the game here. There's a tidy and easy to follow layout. Choose your broth, pick out your favorite ingredients, and BOOM soup is ready! By the north wall, you will find a BYOS table. (Build Your Own Spice) and it's fun! Choose spicy or savory condiments to complement your soup. YUM I chose the bone broth as I'm an avid spice chaser. I do wish there was another option for broth as the bone option is the only one that can be spicy. Service was quick and relaxed, no micromanaging here!

Second time I've been here at it's just as good as the first. The servers are extremely polite and accommodating, the food and portion sizes are absolutely incredible (I always have left overs), and the interior is peaceful, yet eye-catching (my fave part is the restroom signage). I will continue to show this placeoff to anyone looking for a great bowl of soup!

Elle C.

SO GOOD. The broth hits. Got spicy because the guy said that crazy is crazy spicy but...I'd say the spicy is probably like maybe a 5. Will get crazy next time. Good selection of ingredients and a self-serve sauce bar. My friend LOVED the pepper oil which I think is like a peppercorn oil, so if you want some more numbing action add at will. Service was great. Clean interior and plentiful parking. Bonus: Get a free rice when your order is $20.

Pretty good place! I've been looking for another place like this in the area. Their broth is very good however I wish they offered more options for things in my pot. They can also have more choices on their skewer options. I would come back here. Service was good and a full house on a Friday night!

angela s.

The "buffet" selection was fresh and plentiful! Lots to choose from and all presented so well. The customer service was great, since we had never been there we appreciated the instructions on how things worked. I chose the beef bone broth and although I like spicy I kept it mild so I can add more spice later at the sauce bar. I mixed sesame, chili, oyster, scallions and garlic together and it was delicious. The hot pot definitely came out piping hot in these big beautiful bowls which made the experience even more authentic. It was delicious, I'll definitely be back!

First time trying this place! Beef skewer tastes good, cashier is very friendly, explained to us about the spicy level ! The area is clean and bright.

This hot pot place is decent. Its serve yourself style. They give you the bowl with tongs and you get to pick your ingredients. After, they weight it for you. $12.99 a pound. The soup has a few levels of spice and the base is a choice of either beef broth or sweet tomatoe. The meats were on the fatty side. There is a sauce bar.

A newly opened malatang restaurant, $12.99 a pound. It is set up as a self serve bar to choose ingredients then give the bowl for them to weight and cook it. They have various types of noodles, meat, seafood, fish/meatballs, and vegetables but selection is smaller than other places I've tried. They have tofu skin, fried tofu, spam, 3 types of meat/fishballs. For meat, they have liver, sliced beef, pork, shrimp, mussels, squid, scallops, and tripe. They have lotus roots, bean sprouts, rice cakes, baby corn, bamboo, sliced potatoes, woodear mushrooms, and several types of greens. They have a tomato broth and beef broth with various heat levels. I chose to get a bowl of slices of spam, fishball, lotus roots, chrysanthemum leaves, bok choy, napa cabbage, bamboo, wide glass noodles, and quail eggs with medium heat beef broth. The wait time was not long, I used it to get the dipping sauces. They have sesame paste, sesame oil, chili oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, chopped garlic, chopped chili, and barbeque sauce. They also have a fridge of skewers that you give them to cook. They did have lamb skewers, sausage, sweet potato, and vegetables. The bowl came hot with plenty of broth, it did have a good amount of heat. I did not eat the broth much but got my toppings to dip into my sauce bowl. I forgot to ask if they sell bowls of rice alongside the hot pot or if they have a dry, broth-less version which I've tried at other malatang places. The staff is nice and the restroom is clean.

My husband and I ate here for lunch today. They are located right next to Mr. Dumpling. We arrived as soon as they opened at 11:00am. There are plenty of indoor seating. Since it was our first time, we asked if they could explain to us how it worked. They told us to grab a bowl and start filling it up with whatever we wanted; fresh vegetables, seafood, meat etc. Then we take the bowl to the cashier to be weighed. My husband got the tomato soup and I got the beef bone soup. My husband picked the udon noodle and l picked the thinner ramen style noodles. You pay by weight and our soups came out to about $17. They cook your creation in the kitchen in the back. We saw they had skewers in the fridge too so we picked a variety to try and an order of sweet potato fries. Our food didn't take long to come out. The skewers came out first. We are able to grab sauces and garnish with garlic, green onion, cilantro, chili, sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce etc. Our soups came out and the broth was so flavorful for both. It's a chill ambiance and I can see us coming here when the weather is cold. It's December now but why is it in the high 70s... lol. We will definitely be back.

Mala master is my new favorite hot pot place. With fresh ingredients and amazing pricing. With a pay by the pound pricing, its prices beat all of the other hot pot places in SGV and OC. They have ingredients that are not as common in other hot pot places, which I greatly appreciate. Including sweet potato noodles, woodear mushrooms, all the meat / fish balls, tofu skin, and more.

Bethany C.

On one of our date nights we almost went to one of the places next to this, but last minute decided to try this place out. They were so welcoming, helpful, and nice. The food was DELICIOUS, 10/10. I don't think I would have ever forgiven myself if I chose the place we were going to first that night. STOP READING & GO TRY THIS PLACE RIGHT NOW!!

Visited this place recently, excited to know there was a malatang closer to home! I really appreciated the staff willing to serve us towards the end of closing time. It's inexpensive and the broth is very good! They got a tiny bit ways to go when it comes to variety and its fair to say give them time to build the sauce bar but for now they do well to compensate with their yummy food! We tried the veggie skewer which needs to be eaten quick or else it gets soggy but there's still many other skewers to try! The ambience was great! Quiet and relaxing but it was towards closing time lol but the staff were always there ready to assist. It's great! Good try for people who want to dip their toes into the world of malatang will come again and more frequently read more

Been hoping for a malatang place to open in rancho and finally got my wish. Been to yin tang in Ontario and multiple places in Rowland so basing this review in comparison to those. All in all, would definitely recommend for anyone who hasn't had malatang or anyone looking for something in the area! Food- 5/5 clean set up with names listed above food items small and neat sauce station soup was flavorful and warming for the winter Service- 5/5 employees walked us through anything we didn't already know food came out in less than 7 minutes I would say water was filled anytime it reached 75% staff was friendly and welcoming Ambiance- 5/5 nice and quiet with a variety of music in the background clean restaurant with workers always keeping things clean but still out of your way read more

If you're a fan of Malatang, this spot is a must-try! You choose from a wide selection of fresh ingredients--meats, veggies, and noodles--and they're cooked in a flavorful, spicy broth that's perfectly balanced. The medium spice level was just right--spicy but not overwhelming. The beef, tofu, and mushrooms were my favorites! read more

This dinner was very delicious and affordable. Price is 12.99/lb which is cheaper than other mala tang places. The beef bone soup is very flavorful and melds well with the spice. You can adjust spice to your liking. I got crazy which is the highest level spice but if you're used to eating spicy, it's not that spicy. The service was great . The ambiance is also nice.

I rarely write reviews and wanted to gatekeep, but this place is all that and a bag of chips. We were curious since the ratings were high but it lives up to its hype. From the moment we entered everyone is nice and they are attentive. The ambiance is nice and the music is good. If your spice tolerance is low start with mild. Definitely, recommend the beef seekers and the sweet potato fries. If you go to one place in Rancho, please give this place a try. The portions are extremely generous for the prices and the customer service make it's a Michelin experience in my eyes. read more

This counter-serve local chain distinguishes itself by focusing on freshness, notably serving chicken that is never frozen and breadsticks made from scratch daily. I love the generosity of the sauce application, with flavors ranging from classic Buffalo and tangy sweet chili to mango habanero. The "Epic Chicken Fries" are a top-rated choice, featuring hand-cut fries topped with chicken, melted cheese, and a chipotle ranch drizzle. Standard combo meals are well-regarded for their value, typically including bone-in wings or tenderloin strips served with two soft, oven-fresh breadsticks and a side of veggie sticks. For something different, the "Pizza Sticks" utilize the restaurant's signature fresh-baked breadsticks topped with buffalo chicken and mozzarella cheese. True to its 1982 roots, the restaurant does not use freezers, heat lamps, or microwaves, ensuring that every order is made fresh. The menu still features the same core items that built the "Wings N' Things" empire, including tenderloin strips, double-dipped wings, and signature fresh-baked breadsticks. Overall, Epic Wings is praised for its consistent food quality and friendly, fast service.

So right there we're starting off pretty good. I ordered the Lakers legendary garlic, lemon pepper rub, hot honey rub, and Hickory smoked barbecue. Their lemon pepper was super flavorful and my favorite of the four. Coming in second was the Lakers legendary garlic, then the hot honey rub, the barbecue coming in last. Nothing wrong with any of them that was just my preference. I found them all cooked well, seasoned well, very tasty, quick service, and major bang for my buck! If you're in the mood for wings, I think it's a definite go to spot! The restaurant itself is very small and not ideal for big groups or super sit down which is OK.

We're already looking forward to coming back to try the food. So far, definitely a 5-star experience great drinks, great vibe, and friendly service. We'll definitely be returning!

This review is wayyyy overdue! Been coming here since they opened and have enjoyed every visit…read moresince. First shout out to Casey, Puro, and David.

Adding this review a bit late, but the state in rancho has great food with an amazing atmosphere…read more It's in Victoria Gardens so the overall vibes, cleanliness, and quality of everything is welcoming and safe. Their old fashions and high balls are fantastic. And our server Jackie was AWESOMMMMMM. The complete positive vibes really brought great energy to our table and just made the experience great. Will definitely be back in the future. TY!

Food is good but portions are small. Service is absolutely horrible…read more Had to wait an hour to even be served a beer. After the meal all plates are empty. Glasses are empty and there's no one in sight to discuss with me. Places only half full won't come here again Service sucks.

Stumbled upon this place but man what a happy accident! Some of the best hot pot I've ever had. The set up is a build your own soup, priced by weight. I like this idea because you can add however much you want of your favorite items. My boyfriend and I shared a bowl for around $28 - the serving size is pretty big and we ended up with a decent amount of leftovers even between the two of us. We barely waited 5-10 minutes for them to finish preparing our soup and our expectations were exceeded! The perfect amount of spice and flavor, we were in heaven. This is a mala restaurant so beware when they say spicy they mean it! I went with mild as I'm not great with spicy but it was manageable for me but definitely had a kick. There's also a selection of skewers and a really great sauce bar. Service was 10/10 - staff was very attentive and kind, constantly cleaning and refilling water. I'm excited to come back and show my family this hidden gem! read more

Absolutely loved this Malatang place! You get to pick exactly what you want -- from tofu, mushrooms, and lotus root to beef, fish balls, and glass noodles -- then they cook it in a rich, flavorful broth that hits all the right spicy notes. The sesame sauce on the side? Chef's kiss. The place was clean, organized, and had a great vibe. Staff were helpful and everything was super fresh. It's the kind of meal that warms your soul and leaves you craving more. Highly recommend for anyone who loves bold flavors and a build-your-own experience. I'm already planning my next visit! read more

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant.The ingredients were super fresh, the broth was flavorful and spicy (just the way I like it), and the variety of options was impressive -- from meats and seafood to tons of veggies and noodles. The staff was friendly and patient, helping me choose the right spice level. I loved the self-serve style -- it was fun to pick my own ingredients and see it all come together in a delicious bowl. If you're looking for authentic, customizable Chinese comfort food, this place is a must-try. I'll definitely be coming back！ read more

I was so surprised to see a Malatang spot open in Rancho Cucamonga! My boyfriend and I were just wandering around a plaza when we spotted it and knew we had to check it out. The Malatang was absolutely amazing. The bone broth was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spicy, and they had so many fresh ingredients to choose from. They have tomato soup base as well. There were also fried skewers!! The beef and chicken ones were really juicy and packed with flavor. Services was very friendly. Definitely will come back. read more

I recently visited this new restaurant with my family, and we were thoroughly impressed! I ordered the bone soup base, which was incredibly flavorful and rich.The skewers were another highlight; they were perfectly seasoned and super tender. We also tried the sweet potato fries , which was a delightful surprise, crispy on the outside and soft and sweet on the inside. The quality of the food, service and inviting atmosphere, made for an unforgettable experience. I'll definitely be coming back again. read more

This malatang spot truly impressed me with its rich, flavorful broth and wide variety of fresh ingredients. The balance of spice, numbing heat, and savory depth in the soup is just perfect--exactly what malatang should taste like. Everything from the tender meats to the crisp vegetables was cooked to perfection. It's clear they use high-quality ingredients and stay true to traditional Chinese flavors. If you're craving something bold, comforting, and genuinely authentic, this place is a must-try! read more

I recently visited MalaMaster and was impressed by the flavor and variety in their mala soup. The broth was rich, spicy, and aromatic--just the right balance without overwhelming the palate. I loved the selection of ingredients, especially the quail eggs, enoki mushrooms, and tender meats. The portion was generous, and the presentation in a large bowl made it even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was clean and modern, and the service was prompt. A great spot for satisfying a hot and spicy craving! read more

Mala Master is hands down one of the best malatang spots I've tried. Super fresh ingredients, fast service, and a flavorful, numbing broth that hits all the right notes. You pick exactly what you want, choose your spice level, and they deliver a steaming bowl of pure satisfaction. The sesame and garlic sauces at the condiment bar take it to the next level. Portion size is generous, and prices are fair. If you're craving malatang done right - this is the place. Highly recommend! read more

I had a terrible experience at this place. The food had a strange flavor and was difficult to eat, definitely not fresh. It felt like they weren't putting any care into their dishes, super salty as well. On top of that, the service was awful. They seem like they don't want to be there. They clearly need better training because it was obvious they didn't know how to provide good service. I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more
