Mala Town in Las Vegas is such a solid spot for hot pot. The portions are honestly huge--you can easily split a bowl with someone and still feel full, which makes it a great value. The broth options are super flavorful, especially if you like that spicy, numbing mala kick. Everything tastes fresh, and you can really customize your bowl to whatever you're craving. What stood out the most was the service. The staff were so kind and welcoming, and the lady helping us was especially sweet and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Only reason it's not a perfect score is it can get a little busy, but overall I'd give it a strong 8.5/10. Definitely a go-to if you're in Vegas and want something warm, filling, and flavorful. read more

It was so good ! The mushroom base was super good and staff very friendly! Super fast service.

One of our fave hot pot spots in Las Vegas Chinatown. What I like about them is you fill your own bowl with different veggies, meats and pick your broth. It's delicious! My favorite pick of broth is the tomato. The service here is incredible! Staff and owners are always super nice and ensure we always have the best dining experience. This place is on our go to rotation. If you never been, don't skip and be sure to check this spot out. read more

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. read more

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.

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! read more

Mala Town - Hot Pot Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

It's a pick-your-own-bowl kind of deal here! You come in and are immediately greeted with a lineup of veggies, noodles, and meat. No server came up to us to give us the low-down on how this works; you were just there to grab one of the bowls and start filling it up with things you like. The options they have were plenty, though, all kinds of cuts of meats and different Asian veggies and noodles to add to your dish. Although, if you were to go to a sit-down or all-you-can-eat hot place (like Chubby Cattle), I do believe they have a lot more options over there. On the bright side here, you don't have to worry about over ordering since you're getting everything at once; they charge you by the weight, so try not to be like me and get too many noodles and hike up your price. They have different soup base options, and I chose the spicy beef one. It wasn't that spicy at all to me, but they did have a sauce station where you can add more spice and toppings to your liking, so that was nice. This is a great spot if you want a quick hotpot trip without all the wait at the other places, but not so great if you want a really great hotpot hangout with friends. read more

My hair stylist introduced me to Mala Town. He obviously has great taste so off we went. Mala Town is clean, first of all. It's obvious they clean their bathrooms often. They have a great selection of ingredients and you will always see the staff rotating and refilling the selection to ensure freshness. The quality of their meats, veggies, noodles, and other goodies are top-notch. They don't cheap out on ingredients and you can taste it with every bite. And their broths! Fantastic. They graciously have water and jasmine tea on tap. Staff are friendly and very accommodating to folks with disabilities like my mama. Please come here and support local businesses! read more

We went to Mala Town on a Saturday for a late lunch. Parking is easy in the plaza. Ambiance is simple and cafeteria like. You order everything from a buffet and it gets weighed at the end. At the time of our visit, pricing was $15.99 per pound for everything. Then you pick your broth (bone in our case) and they prepare everything in their kitchen and serve it to guests at their table. Our favorite part of the experience was their sauce station where you can create and mix your own sauces from lots of options, including fresh minced garlic, cilantro, chili oils, and more. Overall, we enjoyed the place, however flavor wise and based on the quality of the ingredients it falls slightly short of truly outstanding. read more

$90 for 3 of us, including tip. That threw me a bit off when I saw the receipt. Recommend, don't pile on too much, don't let your eyes pick the items as it can be expensive lunch. $15.99 per lbs. it's like a chipotle of hot pot. You get a pot and get as much veggies, noodles, seafood and meats as you want, then pick a broth and they cook everything and bring it to you. The workers are great, helpful and keep the place quite clean. We were greeted and also shown our table. I order did it on the meatballs and didn't finish. Best part is that you can table the remainder home. It's a very healthy meal if you don't get too much carbs. read more

Mala Town is located at the Commerce Corner in Las Vegas. It is a small little plaza, but it has a good handful of businesses. Free parking may be limited due to small lot. Come early! This restaurant was bright and clean with good seating space inside. After entering to the left, I grabbed a bowl and a set of tongs. I moved forward to the veggie and protein stations to select the ingredients for my mini hot pot. I was seeking for more veggies and less protein. Most of the veggies were fresh. Some of the protein didn't look too good, hence, I skipped the protein. I got mostly spinach + other greens, cilantro, lotus, mushroom, tofu plus a few more items. I chose the original broth flavor with medium spice. Staff was okay. Price was reasonable... $15.99 per lb. My bowl was a tad over 1 lb that cost me less than $20... pretty average nowadays. After paying for my bowl, I was given a table number. Then I walked over to the condiments bar to grab some toppings and choice of water or passion fruit juice. Next I sat down at my assigned table and waited. Wait wasn't too long. Bowl was delivered to me. Staff did not return again after delivery. However, there was a gentleman who walked around the tables asking customers if everything was okay with their meal. He just didn't walk to my table which was fine. He probably knew I was just visiting, but still. Great service to people should be no different regardless. Anyway, soup was piping hot! Flavor was savory and delicious. Spice level was perfect. Btw, lots of soup given. It was one great veggie mini hot pot! YUMMY! I ate everything. Nothing leftover, but soup! LOL If you're looking for a malatang experience in Las Vegas, this place may be for you. read more

We came here bc I have been seeing it all over socials so OFC had to try! It was a little slower when we went. The restaurant itself is a light bright area with a few tables scattered around. I wouldn't say it's a large place but it is a good size. When you walk in you grab a bowl and tongs and go down the line. There is so many options to choose from. I chose all my favs and kinda went overboard on the meats lol. Be careful bc it can get pricey lol once done, you check out with the cashier and she hands you a table number. There's is a fantastic little area with tea, water and a whole bunch of sauces to add/use for your meal. They prepare it pretty quickly and it came out piping hot when they delivered to the table. I definitely want to come back soon as the food was delicious!! Their broth really enhanced all my choices of meat and veggies and noodles. 10/10 read more

Pretty good option for a non all you can eat spot! It was a pretty straight forward situation, walked in everyone was friendly, and was super quick.

The restaurant is def super casual, plenty of seating and super chill. Coming again for sure next time im craving hot pot! read more

Came here for dinner on my first visit. I tried the Tom Yum soup. It was okay. They have a good selection of meats and veggies, I added quail eggs, brisket, pork belly, beef belly, lobster balls, and noodles. They also have a sauce station where you can mix your own sauce. I came back for lunch today and went with the beef bone broth. I liked it better than the tom yum. This time I added a couple of quail eggs, a braised egg, a piece of pork intestine, baby octopus, cuttlefish, squid, mushrooms, and a couple of green mussels. I skipped the noodles. The pork intestines and baby octopus were a little too chewy, which was a bit disappointing, but overall, it was great. Customer service was outstanding both visits, and the place was clean. Will definitely be back. Planning to try the sukiyaki broth next time. read more

Busy busy busy on an 8 PM Sunday evening, and not enough staff to keep up. We came in to a line that was about 10 people deep, and lots of containers were empty. Had to wait for them to replace multiple items. A few labels were also missing. One of the tongs I picked up was drenched in a raw meat's marinated sauce so... that was kind of gross. Prices were a bit steep for a pound seeing that the selection of ingredients was pretty sparse, $15.99. The young staff member with the earphone on was passing out the soups incorrectly with multiple tables, starting with placing a wrong soup at ours and not double checking if he was correct or not--he just stood there with the soup although we expressed that it wasn't ours and were visibly confused as to why he was still standing there assuming it was one of ours--he set it down anyway and left. Had to flag down someone else to take it away. Then saw the same guy place a to-go order at the table behind us, and the customer said that order was for "B6" and not "C4", which is a crazy difference to me... Sauce bar was clean and had plenty of selection, there's also free iced tea which was yummy! Got sukiyaki but wish I got the signature broth because it had a pretty good fusion flavor to it. read more

I've been to the one in the Bay Area, so I was excited to see mala town in Las Vegas. I really wanted to try their Tom Yum soup base but they said they were out of it until further notice. So I settled for the tomato based broth, which was pretty good. For some reason I wasn't in the mood to try anything spicy that day otherwise I would've tried their Szechuan broth, which is my go to. It was very clean and there was no wait when I went for dinner on a weekday. I like that you can customize your bowl to your liking. I love the variety of toppings you can get especially different types of tofu, rice, cakes, and they even have my favorite fishballs with roes!! in terms of meat they had pork belly, beef belly, and other options as well. It's not the highest quality of the meat for hot pot, but it does the job. The pricing was pretty reasonable. My bowl came out to be about $25 with tips. After you pay, you move onto the sauce station where you can make your own sauce on the side. My request is that they add ponzu. Otherwise it's perfect. When you sign up for a membership, you get points and you also get three dollars off of your next purchase. I can see myself coming back here and trying different broths. I really hope the next time I go they have tom yum! read more

I really think the hot pot here is actually really good. My only gripe is that the price here is actually a little more than other competitors. I think at one place I spent $25 to the $35 I spent here for basically the same thing. I think if you're going to charge as much as a AYCE spot then it's probably better to go there. I will say this too the Beef Broth is really good though. read more

Malatown is my go-to hotpot spot in Vegas!! You build your own bowl (~$15.99/lb), pick your broth, and they cook it for you. I always go with the spicy beef bone broth--super rich and flavorful. The beef is the star here... fatty, tender, and just melts in your mouth. What I love is you get that hotpot fix without having to overdo it like AYCE. Perfect when you just want something warm, filling, and customizable. What I got: * Prime beef brisket * Sliced beef * Lamb * Fish tofu * Fried bean curd rolls * Shrimp balls * Crab sticks * Udon noodles * Chili oil + chili flakes Easily one of my top Vegas spots! Must try :) read more

My Vegas local sister recommended this hot pot spot after a day of shopping in Chinatown, so we came here on a double date. Since it was our first time, she showed us what to do. We grab a bowl and tongs and fill up our bowls with whatever we want in it (veggies/meat/etc). Then we take it to the end where the worker will weigh it and ask what type of broth soup we want. Once paid, they will cook it in the back and bring it to our table! Neat hot pot experience! I remember getting the spicy soup as well as my bro in law, my sister got tomato, and hubby got the chicken broth. The spicy was spicy'n lol. I would definitely come back on a rainy day or take it to go if I'm feeling under the weather because that spicy soup will clear it out if ya know what I mean! read more

Mala Town is one of my favorite restaurants in Chinatown. Customize your own hotpot - grab some tongs and a bowl when you enter and begin loading up on vegetables, meat, seafood, chicken... then make your way to the counter where you'll choose a broth for all your delicious ingredients to cook in. Your meal is charged by the plate, and then you can build your own sauce to go alongside your hotpot. How can you go wrong with a meal you completely customized yourself? When you come to Mala Town, you're in great hands with Paul and his team. Great spot for a quick solo meal or lunch with a friend. Thank you Kuya Paul for always being kind when we dine! read more

This place was pretty clean. When you enter you grab a bowl and tongs. Pick your veggies, seafood and meat. You go to the cashier and weight your bowl and pick your broth. I got the medium Sichuan broth and my husband got the medium bone broth. My broth wasn't as hot as I was expecting so maybe next time I might try the hotter version. My husband on the other hand was sweating from the medium bone broth. Our total for both soups were 60 bucks which is a bit expense but it was good so I thought it was worth it. read more

A local favorite!!! Actually probably only favorite Chinese type of restaurant in local Vegas!! Spicy dry style is MY FAVORITE!! I RAVE OVER IT!! Super addicted to that sauce!! Packed with flavor! Anyone who loves Indian food, or Sengal West African food because of the delicious amount of spices?! You'll love the dry style! Paul will make you feel welcomed!! He really makes the place, and got us as returning regular customers!! If someone wanted to make their restaurant succeed, they need a Paul in their business!! Tea and water is included! Apparently a friend from China explained mala style is customized food from hot pot to dry. We originally thought malatown was just going to be extremely spicy mala stuff....it's not. We come here at least once a month, and before it was twice a month. We'd use to dine in. And then just started doing takeout cause we're lazy. And sometimes dine in ourselves or with visiting friends. And its super easy to take your sauces and condiments to go. As picky locals, this is our one of our Chinese comfort food places. They've changed a little over time (slight change in broth and ingredients) but it's still great takeout or dine in. They have great takeout containers now too. Any questions? Talk to Paul, he knows everything and great at explaining the process. 1. Broth or Dry Pick? 2. Then what broth/flavor to spicy level. Our picks: Spicy dry mix is our #1. Packed with flavor!! Reminds me of Taiwan's street boiled food in a bag. Potatoe thick noodles are a must with the dry mix. Their fresh made sauce is addicting!!! Or at least I'm an addict for it!! Their mild spicy is pretty darn spicy, maybe considered a medium for me. So good!! This dish is supposed to be paired with a light peanut sauce. But I don't need any sauce when eating this. - I'm a sensitive eater. So I'm shocked I can eat this without issues. Its house homemade, so it's fresh!! Great quality!! Then tomato soup as our #2 (cause Tom Yum no longer exist). Sichuan Broth - Can only be minimally medium spicy. Not as salty than expected which is nice. The SO likes to pick this but ends up overpowered when tasting my dish, and comes back to my dish. Chicken Fish Maw broth - Tasty broth but it's too oily for me. Beef broth - Has dairy so I couldn't try it. But everyone else thought it was a bit light? --- Ingredient notes to self to avoid and get again, on top of our usual... - Potato thick noodle (if get dry mix) - Tripe (they use to have more inners but didn't see as much this time) - Shrimp cluster is fresh in texture. Might be made in house? Some parts have no taste, and some parts where you can taste the shrimp/seafood. - Lamb slices - Tofu skin. - Scallop wasn't worth it. Overcooked last time but I'm a picky scallop peeps - A-choy, lotus, yam. Sauces/condiments: Garlic, cilantro, green oil, hili oil, numbing oil, light peanut-ish sauce (SO's favorite), black vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, shacha, oyster sauce. Drinks: Free water, and tea. The tea is pre-sweetened and good for ppl who enjoy sweet teas. The fridge next to the cashier has a variety of drinks to pick from too. For this who are sensitive to super temperature hot food, it'll take time to eat. The spoon is metal so watch out if it get hot too. This is a kinda late update review. I thought I updated this review but it was stuck on draft. No matter. Since they've been open, we've been visiting at least once a month or more. Enjoy! Paul works weekends now if you want to learn more about everything, and learn to figure out your favorites over time. read more

Malatang is always a fun concept to eat so I was excited to try this place out! I was impressed by the selection of noodles, veggies, and fish balls as there was so much variety- honestly top tier compared to any other malatang place I've been to. However... I'm not a fan of any of their meats as they were all very chewy and didn't taste fresh but since the other 3 categories carry so well, this isn't a huge issue for me as the pot was still very well balanced. We were shocked by the level of spice our "medium" pot got, you can see the photo for reference. It was a herbally spice too, which wasn't really my fav so we scooped most of the spice out and it also just made it quite oily so we'd opt for mild next time. Everything else was good though, our pot shared between 2 people cost over $50 for over 2 pounds worth of food. The customer service was great too, the workers were friendly and efficient. I'm not sure how often I would crave Mala Town but I can see why it's so popular and can't wait to try different variations next time! read more
