I LOVE the Mala Town in Milpitas so I was excited to see another one open up by the outlets. I visited on a Thursday around dinnertime and the restaurant was fairly empty - no wait! The way it works is that you grab a bowl, some tongs, then add whatever you want to eat as your heart desires. Compared to the Milpitas location, I thought the variety of meats and toppings were on par. This location did feel a bit messier however... they weren't refilling things regularly in the bowl area or the sauce bar. The sauce bar was a bit of a mess and the meats all looked lazily/messily cut. Apart from that... everything tasted as you'd expect from Mala Town. I'd recommend the medium spice level. Keep in mind the mild is still a bit spicy if you don't have a good spice tolerance, too! LOTS of seating here which is nice. Parking can be a mess on busy weekends. read more

Ordered a dry-pot mix, which was just mildly spicy in a peanut sauce. The sauce bar with herbs, Sichuan peppercorn oil, and chili oil helped bring it to a proper spice level. For $16.99/lb at a clean-feeling restaurant, it's worth another visit. (For now, drinks are free with an online review, but they don't check to see a review is done.) read more

I visited their San Mateo location which was really good so I was just a bit disappointed with this location. Don't get me wrong, the broths are still really good and I love that they have an additional sauce bar but all of the meat was just extremely overcooked and dry. Service was efficient and friendly otherwise. read more

What a fun spot to try! Lots of seating inside and many options. Fair warning: no need to fill up the bowl entirely unless you're super hungry! I made that mistake and definitely had leftovers! I tried the tom yum soup base and it was great, I didn't need any dipping sauce on the side because the broth was so flavorful already. Very yummy and lots of options! Will definitely go again! read more

Wanted to try someplace new before shopping at the outlets, so decided to give this place a try. I didn't like the classic bone broth, which ruined it for me. It was extremely creamy, like cheesy?? You could literally smell it, it was so overpowering. I think "creamy" or "cheese" broth would have been a better name for it. It did not taste like any bone broth I've had before. I tried my bf's mild signature bone broth and that tasted like most other mala bone broths, just not numbingly hot since it was mild (which I really appreciate the they allow you to choose your spice level for that one, as I cannot handle a lot of spice). Meat selection was average (but I did like that they had a lean beef and fatty beef), but I felt produce, seafood, and noodle selection was more limited than other places. I appreciated that they didn't have a minimum weight because I usually get under 1 lb and that way I can get my kids their own bowl to share (instead of having to put their stuff in my bowl and picking a broth based on their preferences, instead of my own). Interior nice and clean. Service meh. Sauce bar was sufficient. TLDR; I would recommend Zhangliang Malatang instead because I think their broth is better and they have a bit more selection. read more

First time here and I'd say I would come back for some solid soup. Very spacious and casual, would come here with friends for sure. Great selection, maybe need more on the meat side and their meat quality is okay. However, love their other sides like their variety of vegetables, tofu and fish balls. Just know, the spicier your soup, the more oily it is, but thats the only trade off. They have a decent sauce bar and love what they use for their soups, great at retaining heat. Me and my partner got the sichuan soup and I got their new beef bone soup. Good recommendations, both tasty. Maybe it needs more depth, but again, decent overall and the service is nice. Oh, almost forgot, their homemade yogurt... I WOULD COME BACK JUST TO GET IT tehe. read more

Food was great! My boyfriend and I were afraid it wasn't enough broth based on the pictures and reviews on here but I believe it's just a different pot/bowl compared to similar places! It was just the right amount. The bowls may look small in the picture but, it's more wide than depth and it has a generous amount of broth. I would say I do prefer this type of plating than a regular bowl. We also came around Saturday afternoon with seeing only few people inside already, not as busy as I thought it would be. They played some old nostalgic music which we were both very appreciative about haha. The staff was very nice, have no complaints for service. Overall first experience here was 10/10.

We were excited to see another malatang restaurant open in the East Bay but unfortunately, it missed the mark and we won't be coming back. Some labels were missing from the toppings and some were empty. When we got to the sauce station, there were quite a few fruit flies flying around. Looking into the sesame oil pot, there were a number of them drowned in the bottom of the pot. The green onions were low and it was all soggy. Halfway through eating, we found a fruit fly in the bowl of soup. After that, we saw the worker clear dirty bowls from the dining tables, take the freshly cooked food bowls from the kitchen and work the cashier all with the same gloves. The only "cleaning" of the gloves was wiping it with a rag. I hate leaving negative reviews but all these red flags are highly unsanitary practices. We had high hopes for this place but we'll be sticking to our usual YGF and Zhangliang. read more

Broth was flavorful compared to AYCE hot pot! I never sip on my soup at hot pot but found myself having a spoon of soup every other bite. I am subtracting a star because I feel like the meat could be of greater quality - Wagyu beef is advertised but wasn't at the bar. Their "marbled beef" was a bit chewy. But because the broth was yummy and the concept is convenient as well as the kind customer service, I would come here again! OH, and they have Konjac noodles for those on keto/low carb or GF! read more

The takoyaki came in about 5 balls and while they didn't include all typical takoyaki toppings it was still pretty good considering it came as a combo!

Pho Lovers is a solid go-to in Dublin when you want something quick and consistently good…read more Everyone comes for the pho (and it's legit), but don't skip the Bò Né sizzling platter comes out hot with steak, eggs, and that garlic butter sauce...so good. The caramelized pork bánh mì is another win crispy bread, great flavor. Also highly recommend the pho dip bánh mì with oxtail broth super rich and perfect for dipping. Drinks are underrated too grab a sugarcane juice (passionfruit one is ). Ambience is casual and no-frills nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable. It's the kind of spot you come to eat, not hang out, and it does that well. Fast service, no fuss, always hits.

***3.5*** Came here…read moretwice. The first time we came bc Marufuku was packed. Enjoyed the pho and banh mi so much wanted to come back and bring Hubs. Their banh mi has freshly baked buttery baguette. They hollow out the middle and fill it with meat and their julienne radishes and carrots. I think it was satisfyingly good and one I haven't had in awhile. And least not in the Tri Valley. The second time around, the pho to me was a bit underseasoned. The banh minh was still fresh and tasty. Drinks were still good and thirst quenching.
