    Set with Tomato Flavored Broth

    Food 4/5 DIY concept. You picked your ingredients and choice of soup base. They will cook it and bring it out. Awesome hotpot choice Service 3/5 fast and efficient Ambiance 4/5 a lot of tables. Came in Friday night, got seated right away

    After hearing great things and seeing such rave reviews, I was excited to try Mala Town. Unfortunately I found it to be rather disappointing. Let's start with the pros. There's a decent selection of ingredients, everything was well laid out and clean. It's a fun DIY hotpot concept, upon entering just grab a bowl and tongs and fill it up with your desired ingredients. At the checkout counter, weigh the ingredients and choose your broth. It's a nice alternative to AYCE hot pot, especially for those who don't eat that much. Service is minimal as it's primarily DIY, but they were friendly enough and efficient. They cook the food and bring it out to your table. The ingredients were good and I enjoyed the complimentary jasmine tea. The biggest con for me was the broth itself. The broth is really the focal point of hot pot and it can make or break the meal. I got the mild beef bone broth and found it to be very heavy and overly salty. It was creamy which I didn't expect or particularly enjoy. It was also very orange-looking for beef broth. I thought maybe they gave me tom yum by mistake but it didn't taste like tom yum. In addition, it was pretty spicy for a mild broth. I don't think it tasted terrible, it just wasn't to my liking. Too heavy and salty. My partner got the medium dry pot mix and it was also not what either of us expected. All of the ingredients were cooked and then a sesame and peanut sauce mix was just poured over the top, not mixed in at all and did not have the flavor of a dry pot. We expected it to taste a bit more like a stir fry. The sauce poured over the top was very thick and super salty, making it a goopy mess. It was very spicy but lacked flavor, not good at all. After we left I looked at pictures from other reviewers and the dry pot we got looks very different from what others have gotten at this same place. I don't know why it was so different? Overall I liked the concept and fresh ingredients. I'd like to try malatang again but probably somewhere else.

    SOO GOOD!! I loaded my bowl up, they had great options compared to other malatang places, and they even had scallops! The beef slices were tender, the broths were delicious, and the sauce bar was perfect with all the best sauces. The worker was very friendly, and they checked up on us. Also, the complimentary tea was sooo good. It was just the right enough amount of sugar. The restaurant is clean, organized, and they buss the tables quickly after guests leave.

    What I liked most about this place is that they cater to vegetarians. I came here on Sunday with my friends and we all enjoyed our hotpots. The service was friendly and they were eager to please. The complementary tea was a bit sweet but it was nice to have a cool drink on such a very hot day. The hotpot was healthy and delicious, I was able to find exactly what I wanted and the environment was so friendly that it makes me want to return.

    Parking: located in a strip mall with parking lot in front of restaurant Service: cafeteria style to fill bowl with choice of meats, veg, and starches. You then pay at the cashier and choose your sauce or soup flavor. Staff was friendly and cleaned our table before assigning us. Ambiance: casual Food: Got the savory dry mix, but tried a bit of my parties soups and everything was solid. A great comfort meal post EDC

    I loveeee Mala Town!!! Their 50% off promo was very dangerous for me... HAHA As you line up to select what you'd like to be in your bowl, you'll choose what soup base you'd like at the counter as it gets weighed, and once you are seated, there is a bar for you to create your own sauce next to complimentary water and tea. I like the set up of the restaurant! Not only is the food delicious (I personally love the Mild Signature Beef Bone Broth but also have been getting the Sweet & Sour Tomato), the service is always great, and during the super busy times, seating can become limited, but I would say that seating is usually available. Parking may become sparse because of the lot it is in alongside other hotspots in the plaza.

    Come to Mala Town now for discount! Mala town has been my go to spot for amazing hot pot that is fully customizable. I love getting the tomato soup base because it is so sweet and tangy that pairs well with a lot of the vegetable toppings. Service is quick, as you pick and grab your toppings then take it to the counter. They have a sauce bar where you can get your spice fixing from chili oil, garlic, chili flakes, etc. Limited time they are offering 50% off every Tuesday and Wednesday!

    All over tik tok I see ppl go to build your own hot pot. Cant lie I got severe fomo so I NEEDED to try at least once in my life and I pleasantly had driven to this place. Me and some friends were a lil bit confused on what to do at first as there is nowhere in AZ where we can build our own hot pot but Paul was so kind and showed us how the hot pot process works . We were given a bowl and began loading up. We were told most ppl get 1.5 lbs typically. The bowls are priced via weight with that being $15.99/lb. Yeah I love this. I was so excited I was grab happy and ended up with 2.8lbs regardless I was happy. Everyone I was with all got different broths one being the Szechuan and another being Bone broth. Both were so delicious. We were assigned a table the cooked our hot pot in the back and was brought to our table. My brother unfortunately had been grab crazy and got 5lbs but even after we finished all our food he was happy he could take it home and keep eating. (Mind you we still had to drive to AZ by the time we got back ME AND MY FRIEND DEVOUREDDDDD EVERY SINGLE BUT THAT WAS LEFT). I think me saying I love this place is an understatement I LIVE LAUGH LOVE ESPECIALLY ADORE MALA TOWN The staff members were all so kind and funny. Paul for sure made our experience the best. We told him we come to Vegas often and now this will be our go to. So thank you Mala town for the amazing food and hospitality. a huge thank you from my belly cuz now I craveeeeee mala town. YYAYAYAYAYAYA I LOVE MALA TOWN

    This was such a chill and easy place to get Malatang! They had a variety of options for you to include in your Malatang which I liked. The service was quite friendly too, giving us complimentary drinks. The Malatang itself was filling and tasty, especially with their various options. I enjoyed the meat and cheese balls I had in mine. I'd recommend for any Malatang cravings.

    Different type of noodles

    Very clean and so much fun to select from buffet style ingredients station. Also I loved the selection of different types of broth. Customer service was very helpful and polite. They explain how to make it taste as you like. You don't need to be shy, just ask them, and they will help you . Old building but they keep very clean and spacious. Only problem is very hard to get the parking lot. Space is limited. So be prepared for that.

    Complimentary sauce station
    Jenny P.

    Craving soup and found this gem that offers so many options and best of all you choose your ingredients that you want in your soup. The flavors of all different soup base are very delicious. I got the Tom Yum and had all the flavor you need to pair with any protein and vegetables. Everything in the soup building station looks clean and fresh. When we got to the cashier, she helped us with any questions and also helped us with making a decision with our soup base. Jasmine was at the cashier and she was very helpful and friendly and made the experience at Mala Town so much better and welcoming! Can't wait to be back!!!

    This is my go-to Malatang place in LV. The service is super friendly and the ingredients are pretty fresh. There a large selection that you can choose from to add to your broth or dry noodles. There is also a sauce bar that includes unsweetened tea that is self serve. The place is also pretty clean and has a good amount of seating. I've tried the signature beef broth and the tum yum. My favorite has to go to the signature. It is super flavorful and does not feel too oily like other places. The tum yum is good as well but the signature beef has a more complex flavor. I was sad when I went in today and they were sold out of the beef broth! They are currently having a 7.99lb deal on tuesdays and wednesdays before 6pm but I think it is ending next week so definitely take your chance and go soon!

    Is there gluten free options?

    Are there VEGGIE Broth options?

    Yes. They have a tomato broth option which is sweet I believe.

    As someone with a severe shellfish allergy, is there any shellfish mixed into the broth choices?

    Hi, We cook each bowl with separate pot and for the broth , no shellfish mixed. Thanks

    Do you have to pay for the other ingredients or you only have to pay 15$ only?

    It’s weight by pound. 14.99/ibs for all ingredients

    Do you have to select type of noodles and are the noodles weighed too?

    You select for a wide variety of different toppings, veggies, proteins, and noodles before everything is weighed together. Then you select your broth and enjoy. You can even order rice on the side if you prefer that instead of noodles.

    Do they offer rice?

    Yes: they do

The wagyu and ingredients were fresh, the broths were flavorful, and everything was consistently great from start to finish. Our server, Christina, was amazing.

Our server was also very nice and attentive. My disappointment is with how the menu options were presented. I arrived at noon for lunch and was only given the full-price all-you-can-eat menu. Based on what I was shown, I thought the $45 tier was the least expensive option available. When discussing the different tiers with my server, I explained that I really wasn't interested in all the extra sides and additional items--I was simply looking for meat, vegetables, and rice. He even tried to talk me out of choosing the lowest $45 tier, but at no point was I told there was a separate lunch menu. It wasn't until AFTER I had eaten and received my bill that I asked whether there was a standard menu where you could order a smaller meal. That's when I was handed the lunch menu for the first time. I was honestly shocked. The lunch menu was exactly what I had been looking for from the beginning and would have been plenty of food at a price that fit my budget much better. Had I been presented with it when I arrived for lunch at noon, I absolutely would have ordered from it. Instead, I ended up spending around $70 on lunch because I believed the $45 all-you-can-eat tier was the lowest option available. I understand that I could have specifically asked whether there was a lunch menu, but when you arrive at noon for lunch, I don't think you should have to know to ask for a menu that isn't presented to you--especially after explaining that you're only looking for meat, vegetables, and rice. Good food and genuinely good service, but discovering a more appropriate lunch menu only after I had finished eating and received my bill left me feeling really disappointed and unfortunately overshadowed my first experience.

So that's what happened to us when we were supposed to try a popular Japanese BBQ spot nearby, but with a two hour wait, it would not work out for us.

Staff here from the host to the ones that take your orders and especially the food runners are very much on top of their game. Anything ordered from the kitchen came out within minutes. You are never without any meats to cook or sushi to eat. The self serve vegetable bar, sauce bar, and other accompaniments are up to you. Such a large variety of options.

Highly recommend if you're looking for solid hotpot without breaking the bank!

There's options for shabu meats, nigiri, rolls, and appetizers. The veggies for the shabu are self-serve, as is the sauce bar. Honestly, my biggest complaint is that the table is definitely not big enough for both shabu + food orders at the same time. As a result, we ended up ordering sushi first and shabu later, to ensure there was enough table space. Maybe getting some tiered dishes or having a side holder for the shabu like maybe hot pot spots have would help here. The sushi was pretty solid and I really appreciated how the nigiri didn't have too much rice. The shabu meat was also pretty solid quality. We ended up going about 4-5 rounds until the kitchen closed at around 11 pm. Service wise, it was hard to get our waiter's attention. The waiters also messed up a couple of our orders, in one case forgetting to put it in until we ordered again, leading to way more food than we wanted. We also ordered soju, which they forgot about and took us 15 minutes to flag them down to get. Why 4 stars and not 5? The price and quality warrants a 5, but the lack of table space + the wait staff mess ups warrants a deduction.
