Food is 10/10, as well as the service. We love Paul, Vicky and Jasmine, they always make us feel welcome every time we come in. This is our go-to hot pot/soup spot in all of Las Vegas. As a matter of fact, we are headed there right now! read more

Came in for lunch on a Thursday and it wasn't too busy. The concept is so simple but so genius. You get a bowl and tongs and load up on all the toppings, carbs, and proteins you want and then choose your desired soup base and spicy level. It's $14.99 lb which is a bit expensive I felt for a hotpot bowl. But you're in charge of how much food you get which I love! Great for big and small eaters. We ordered 3 bowls with 3 different bases. Everything was super delicious! I definitely recommend the beef and the tomato soup. Medium spice was perfect for me! They also have a small sauce bar with all the basics for hotpot. Overall, great experience and I'll definitely be back! read more

Mala Town is a build your own hotpot concept. When you walk in, there's a big clear bowl to gather everything you would want in your hotpot and tongs. There's a huge selection of vegetables, noodles, and seafood. With the meal selection, there's a smaller variety of beef brisket, pork belly and lamb. The beef slices were very fatty. As you head down the counter, the cashier will ask you what type of broth you'd want in your hotpot and they'll take the bowl to heat it up in the kitchen. For $14.99 per lb, anyone can easily overestimate how much food they're eating. There's a fridge full of different drinks next to the cashier and if you leave them a review on either Yelp or Google then you can snag yourself a free drink. After paying, there's a sauce station to assemble your own sauce which includes sesame oil, chili oil, soy sauce, scallions, oyster sauce etc. There's also cups to fill your water or iced tea. The concept is new and intriguing to Vegas. I enjoyed the idea of picking out my own ingredients to go into the soup versus having a preset hotpot entree. I tried their mild beef broth which didn't taste anything special to me but it was good. They also gave aprons which was super helpful to avoid getting your clothes dirty. Overall it was a decent experience. read more

Mala Town - mild beef soup broth - Hot Pot Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

The food is amazing, the service is quick and friendly. There's so many options, just grab a bowl and load it up it's about $15 per pound and when you check out you choose your broth base. If you don't do spicy do the chicken broth. I tried the beef broth and it was still too spicy for me. The place is clean and nicely decorated. Definitely want to come back and try even more things. read more

Super excited that Mala Town opened up in Vegas! We now have another option for malatang! The only other places that have the same type of set up is Yunnan Tasty and Best Hot Pot. Malatang roughly translates to "numbing soup." So beware that if you do choose to have spicy, it'll most likely be the numbing type of spice. This is essentially a version of hot pot. Instead of cooking your food at your table, they cook it for you. You get to choose your ingredients, your soup base, your spice level, and they cook it all for you and bring it to your table! When you walk in, you grab a bowl and a pair of tongs and choose what you want to eat. They have a large variety of options to choose from -- the largest that I've seen in Vegas for malatang. Once you are done picking what you want in your bowl, you go to the cashier and they will weigh it. The food is charged by weight -- $14.99/lb. You get to choose which soup base you want: beef broth (mild, med, hot), tomato soup, chicken soup, or a dry mix (mild, med, hot -- similar to stir fry). They also assign you a table to sit at when you pay. I've had the beef broth in medium spice twice and it was delicious both times. It had a good amount of kick but not enough to knock you out. My husband had their chicken soup and it was very delicious -- full of chicken flavor. If you don't like to do any spicy foods, I would recommend the chicken. He has also tried the dry mix in mild and that is his favorite. The dry mix makes it so it's full of flavor but the only down side is that it doesn't keep as hot as a soup base. If you enjoy using a sauce with your meat or veggies, they do have a small sauce bar. It has all the necessary ingredients like soy, sesame oil, vinegar, cilantro, green onions, garlic, and chili oil. Both times we've gone, it was during their soft opening phase. We all got a drink for free but the selection of drinks change. First time they had soda but the second time, they didn't. I think my only gripe about them is that they don't have two of my favorite ingredients to put in malatang: pig intestine and pork blood. But they do have everything else I liked. Hopefully they will add more to their variety as time goes on. Definitely recommend if you like this type of hot pot! read more

Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - you pick the ingredients you want into a bowl that they'll weigh for you at $14.99 per pound. Then you select a soup base that the ingredients will be cooked in. There's a little self service sauce bar and drinks bar with water and lightly sweetened jasmine tea. We had one bowl at 0.8 lbs with the medium beef bone soup and another at 1.5 lbs with the hot beef bone soup. The soup base is earthy and slightly sweet with a hint of garlic. The ingredients seem fresh and we really enjoyed the food overall. Service: 5/5 - friendly cashier who explained the process for us and was patient while we debated our soup base. You sit at any open tables and they'll bring the food out. Ambiance: 5/5 - well decorated restaurant with music coming from two speakers. Love the green accents and chairs. The little plant island in the middle have the most adorable plushies!! Value for price: 4/5 - at $15 per pound, it is a little on the pricier side since it's almost $40 for the two bowls. However, very convenient due the the variety of ingredients and a delicious soup base. They do give a free drink for reviews on google or Yelp. read more

Delicious, affordable, and unique! So happy we found this place. We loved that we were able to customize our own bowls. There's a vegetables, seafood, noodles and meats to choose from. After you fill your bowl, you choose a soup broth, and they take it back to the kitchen where they add your broth and present all your food beautifully in your bowl! It's $16 per pound, we need up paying $50 for our 2 bowls pictured. I also loved the sauce station you could use to add things like garlic, green onions, cilantro, sugar etc, to your bowl! Lots of seating, and very clean! read more

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

Came here for dinner with 2 friends on i believe maybe their 3rd? super soft opening day (they were still doing decor/setting up but open for business). Mala Town is the newest member/replacement of this spot, just east of Jones, on Spring Mountain, replacing where the long time standing KJ Kitchen had once stood, and 1-2 after that followed and had gone since. Overall, a pretty simple process. By the door, there is a rack of clean tongs for you to use when picking your items along with large bowls for it all. Simple pricing of $14.99/lb. You go around the "buffet" and grab as much as you want. They have beef/lamb/pork/spam/tendon/tripe to various meat balls/sausages/seafood to various mushrooms, sliced veggies, green veggies, noodles, etc. Decent variety. Bit sad that they dont have actual pork blood (more of a korean style, reminds me of a soondae but imagine a block of it instead), pig intestines, tofu, bean curd. Oh well. At the end is the cashier where they weight what you have while asking what soup base you want (selection between their SIGNATURE BEEF BROTH with options of Mild/Medium/Hot, SWEET & SOUR TOMATO SOUP, CHICKEN SOUP, and SAVORY DRY-MIX which also has options for Mild/Medium/Hot). They have a promo currently (as of 01/15/24) that gives a free drink of your choice from the mini fridge to the left of the cashier (soda/teas). They have a small "sauce bar" on the side including minced garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame sauce, shacha, chopped green onion/cilantro, sesame oil, and some others. (No fish sauce). Also self serve iced/room temp/hot water on the side as well. Food actually came out pretty fast, which was surprising. Small metal pot holding all our food. The SIGNATURE BEEF BROTH I had chosen at mild spice was decent. Milky white, decent flavor. Definitely very mild spice Lol. Would love to try other broths if not medium/hot on their beef broth next time ! As it was still SUPER soft opening period, they were still putting up decor/plants around while we were eating. Also, since there wasn't much promo, we were the ONLY ones dining at the time we were there. Can't really say much about service since there wasn't really much to be done besides them bringing us the food initially. read more

After months of anticipation I finally walked in and ordered. I went a little after noon and the there was no line and a lot of available seating. First impression.. was that establishment was clean and they had plenty of options for veggies, vegetarian, and meat. I wish they had regular eggs but they only had quail, I was recommended by one of the workers to go with the beef broth medium and just add spice to it by grabbing it from the sauce bar. The sauce bar has soy sauce, garlic, chili sauce, green onions, climate and sesame seed oil. They also had fresh water and sweet jasmine tee available, other refreshments were available for purchase. I mixed chicken, shrimp, beef, pork, lettuce, and book choy. My price came up to $13 I took it easy for my first try. I will return to try the dry mix bc I wasn't too pleased with the beef broth, it lacked flavor but that is my only complaint. Service and ambiance was a 10. read more

We loved the food but we appreciated Paul at Mala Town Restaurant more! My two friends and I recently dined at Mala Town in Las Vegas and was blown away by the experience. Paul's vibrant personality and exceptional service truly elevated our meal. His bright energy instantly lifted our mood, making the dining experience memorable. The food was fantastic, with a great variety of options including their complimentary sauce and tea bar. Paul suggested two bowls of rice with our two huge platters of meat and veggies and he brought over three clean bowls for us to use! I highly recommend visiting Mala Town and seeking out Paul for an unforgettable meal! 11/10 would recommend him and this restaurant wholeheartedly! read more

I love this place! The workers are always sooo nice and welcoming! Will be coming back again :)

Women who rung us up was very kind and welcoming and helpful as it was our first time!! Great way to spend Lunar New Year!

Solid good hot pot. There is decent msg in their beef bone even if I asked for none. Ingredients are fresh and good quality. Clean and nice young staff. They tell me there are 7000 locations in China so you gotta know it's a hit. Open 2nd day when I checked in read more

3.5* The bowl weight is not counted in the calculations, but the bowl is HUGE, so it adds up fast. For reference, mine was $25 at $14.99/lb. I liked the following ingredients that I added: potato noodles, intestines, squid, octopus, spinach. I regretted adding the tong ho (stems too thick and hard to chew), beef tendon (heavy and flavorless), imitation crab (it was not the Japanese kind but rather an imitation crab fish puff). The flavor of the dry pot was not what I was expecting. I thought it would be a spicy dry pot like sichuan style, but it was actually a 90% peanut based sauce that was not very spicy. I would probably have preferred the malatang or bone broth instead. read more

Went and tried Mala Town with a friend and was met at the door by Paul who welcomed us in with a warm smile and explained the whole process to us. He truly made our experience incredibly enjoyable. It's rare to find people who actually care and show kindness to customers. I will be returning for this reason alone. He made sure we got exactly what we wanted and made sure we enjoyed what we got. He was never annoyed or bothered by our questions or needs! Thank you for your kindness Paul!!! Now!! THE FOOD! What an incredible idea to create your perfect ramen dish! The taste was indescribable. The flavors were so mind blowing. Truly the best broth and ingredients I've ever had. We left with full bellies but still craving more! Went back again and was served by Jasmine this time. I can't get over how inviting and kind the people are that work here. I was hesitant to go in with my baby but I was really wanting another ramen bowl. I was pleasantly surprised when Jasmine took care of me and my baby and made us feel MORE THAN welcomed and my sweet baby spent time talking and playing with her. She even rushed over to double check and double sanitize and clean and set up a highchair for us! She made sure I was enjoying myself and not stressed and she made sure my baby had everything he needed to eat and made sure he also had what he liked to eat. She was so kind and so helpful and I have to say this is my favorite place to eat because of the food for sure but MOSTLY because of how kind the people are. read more

My fiancé was craving some type of hot pot and saw this place all over her social media so we went to check it out. It was a unique style of hot pot. It's not like the regular places where they sit you and make your soup in front of you. This place is opposite. You pick your food and then give it to them and they make the soup. They then bring the soup to your table. I'm my opinion it was pricey. $15.99/ lb. So if you want lots of meat and veggies it's gonna be up there. My sons like it and so did I. Can get busy so plan accordingly. read more

Food was good, the Szechuan was spicy as they warn. You enter, grab a bowl and set of tongs by the door and just go down the line. Premium meats at the very end, as of writing this it's $15.99 a pound. When you check out and get your bowl weighed, they tell you which table you'll be seated at (C1, etc) and they'll bring your cooked ingredients to you. read more

The food quality and service are always super consistent, and I don't think I've ever had a bad experience. It's a great option whether you're starving or just want a smaller meal. The Tom Yum broth is always my go-to because it's slightly sour and spicy without being overwhelming. There are also so many options for vegetables, noodles, and meats. Paul is always so friendly -- every time I talk with him, it feels like I've known him forever. He consistently checks in to make sure everything is great, and if there's ever an issue, he's quick to fix it. I was first brought here by friends, and I'll definitely be bringing more friends to try Malatown! read more

This place was amazing. Food is really great and you can pick the ingredients you like. The signature bone broth is legit.
