Sorimmara is one of those spots where you grab a bowl, pick ALL your own meats, noodles, veggies, and toppings, and then choose between malatang or mala xiang guo. My favorites were the Rose Mala Xiang Guo and the Black Mala Xiang Guo：both packed with spicy, numbing mala flavor but completely different vibes. read more

Too expensive, missing key Malatang ingredients. Used to love this place but recently it's gone down hill I can't justify coming back. Also on a weekend 3 hours before closing they "Ran out" of green onions and the garlic was barely chopped - ended up having sauce with quarter sized garlic cloves I used to prefer this place because it's Korean style Malatang but not anymore man - how could you have no green onions and charge like $40 for a 2lb bowl read more

*this place charges by the weight *not "1st time/new comer" friendly If you want to know if the food was good, then yes I'd say it was good. I tried the broth malatang level 4 spice and the dry malatang level 3. If you enjoy spice and numbing/tingly feeling, it's there. Personally the level 4 was not spicy so I was disappointed. Besides the food, everything else was terrible! Service and overall experience needs work. This was my first time here and did not understand how everything worked. We were immediately given a table number but then we were off to fend for ourselves. To be clear the staff were friendly they just weren't helpful to provide a good experience. Some things should be made more clear to prevent all the issues I ran into. Apparently there's a 1lb minimum which forced me to go back and grab more food which then made me wait behind a whole horde of people while my partners food was already being made. Maybe a scale should be somewhere so we can weigh our food before going to the front to avoid so much back and forth. The place is terribly small so it felt I was shoulder to shoulder with everyone when grabbing ingredients or even sauce and water. Some noodles do not go towards your 1lb minimum forcing you to get even more food. So now sitting down waiting for the food, my fiancé got his food and we had to wait maybe another 10 mins for my food to come out. I wish she would have waited to push his food so our foods could come at relatively the same time. Feels small but everything all together just ruined the experience for me. read more

This was my FIRST TIME trying malatang, and I absolutely fell in LOVE! Mala pricing was super fair at about $14.99/lb. My bowl wound up being a little over $25, so don't be overzealous with what you want! They had a great range of meats and veggies. There were some chair/table and booths in the back. Parking was convenient and easy, free parking lot in front of the restaurant.The people working were really nice, especially when I told them it was my first time. This place has a lot of options like different types of mala and other food combos. It was a great introduction experience. The food came piping hot and within 15-20 minutes? There was some waiting time but I think that's fair considering that they are essentially making your food into a hotpot. I chose the second level of spice, and they don't joke around with their spice level. I could definitely feel the numbing spice feeling. Also, I was able to get my soup to go because I could not finish. I'd love to come back and try a different mala option. read more

I had no idea what I was in for except, " Let's try something totally new!" If you're into the kind of spice that leaves dabs of sweat along your nose, this is the place for you. Thank you to the staff for helping us navigate the menu and the bar where you pick your own ingredients for them to cook. My dry hot pot featured the Mala pepper, and thank goodness I opted for no "tingly sauce" because even at a Level 2 Medium Heat, my tongue was burning. (I later learned that numbing tingling sauce was made from the...Szechuan pepper!) The place is new and clean. Several large groups come in so the ingredient and sauce bar gets a little backed up. Anyway, my pretty bowl came out and sat on a hot plate until the last bite. I survived...(dab, dab) read more

Went for dinner Sunday night and ordered the Malatang and Rose Mala Xiang Guo. There is a self service station with lots of variety of veggies, noodles, and other ingredients. The price is determined by the weight and I liked the ability to customize the ingredients. There is a range of spice level from 1 to 5 and we tried level 3 for the Malatang and 2 for the Rose Mala Xiang Guo. Surprisingly the Rose Mala Xiang Guo was spicier than the Malatang even though it had a lower spice level. I was expecting the Xiang Guo to be dry hot pot but it was very saucey. Both dishes were really good, especially with the ingredients soaking up the flavors. My favorite were the chewy, wide, glass noodles. The total came out to be $129 which is pricey in my opinion. read more

Sorimmara Duluth - Malatang, Rose Mala Xiang Guo - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Food is amazing if you need to let your stress out by eating something super spicy. After I was done, my stress was nonexistent! We got the level 2 and to our surprise, we were a bit struggling and will stick to level 1 next time so be cautious when choosing! I took a star off due to service. I know it just opened and I'm sure it'll improve but we were a bit lost just as much as the staff. When you first walk in, the sign states to take a seat so we did but no one came by so we went to ask. The staff didn't clarify that we need to select a seat, leave something behind to reserve it, grab a pot, and start grabbing the topping/ingredients. Did notice that after our mix up, staff clarified to other incoming customers. When asked about what some of their ingredients were, they didn't really understand and overall was hectic when checking out but know that they will weigh your bowl for the charge. Also, some of the ingredients are extra so those blocks that you pick up from the topping stations will add extra charges. Make sure you know what level and type of mala (dry or soup) and within dry option, they have other flavors to make it a quicker process. During check out, I tried to custom tip them but it would not work so ended up selecting one of the recommended options which I did not like. My husband had the same issues since we had two checks due to additional order being added later. The ingredient/topping station and sauce station is pretty small but sufficient to make your bowl of choice. I didn't initially know but since it's by weight, would grab more meat next time. I had selected dry rose mara and it was tasty, both from the flavor wise and spiciness. Also they give it to you with a burning candle to keep the dish warm as you eat it. Mara/hotpot craze is still big as there's been so many hotpot places opening in Atlanta. I would beat the rush hours, otherwise you'll be waiting quite a bit since the restaurant is pretty small with about 10 tables. Oh and the creamy shrimp was so so good! The texture is so good, being chewy in a good way, and the flavor was delicious! It also helped curve the crazy spiciness! A must get! read more

Such a great concept! Such a great service! And most importantly such great food!! I honestly had it only once last week but I crave it already! I want to go again asap! If youre reading this you should go now too!! If you are into spicy food i recommend that you get extra hot or more because I got hot and it was not spicy at all.. I love how all the ingredients are fresh and you are able to put as much things you want in your pot! read more

This is a build your own DIY spot, that charges based on the weight. My fiancé was bit by the mala bug and this has become our go-to spot. She always gets the malatang level 4 heat and I get the mala xiang level 3 heat. Her broth was pretty good from what I tasted but I enjoy the dry pot more. It has a good kick and balanced numbing spice. The dry pot packs a punch in terms of flavor over the broth version. We also got the chicken guobaorou and I'd skip it. Their sauce bar has a good variety of options. Space is small and service is minimal. read more

Sorimmara Duluth - The food bar - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Came here for dinner around 6pm on a Thursday and there were a few tables already. After putting in our order, it got super busy and there were many people waiting outside. The ingredients station was pretty clean and everything was labeled. The sauce bar was pretty stocked but definitely a smaller station. Everything from plates, water and utensils are self service. We opted for the soup mala for about $15 per pound. We decided to go for the level 2 spice. The level 2 wasn't too spicy for me and I thought it was the perfect amount of spice. We also ordered the creamy shrimp guobaorou. They come and pour the cream at your table! I really enjoyed the chewiness and texture but didn't love some type of spice they put on top (Maybe parsley?), but that is just personal preference. Overall, I really liked the shrimp. It was $17 though, which I thought was a little steep for the amount you get. I enjoyed most of the ingredients in the mala (you choose yourself lol) but I didn't love the beef cuts that they had. After cooking it the ingredients, most of the beef slices were stuck together and were tough. Not your typical hotpot style beef slices. Other than that, they do have a wide range to choose from. We didn't wait too long for the food and the service was friendly. Definitely recommend coming early or when the hype dies down since they only have tables on one side of the restaurant. read more

We got here around 5:30pm on a Monday to beat the crowd and there were about 4 tables seated. They have a sign above the ingredients to choose from that directs you on what to do. FOOD: Cream Shrimp Guaobaorou ($17.99) - I do think it's a little overpriced for what you get, but it was still tasty. They pour the cream sauce at the table for you. It's very creamy, sweet, with a hint of lemon so can't go wrong with this flavor combo. Malaxianguo - Level 1 ($21.92) - We opted for dry pot since we didn't want soup. Level 1 spicy was between Shin Ramen and Fire Noodles from my experience. You can also opt to not have the numbing peppercorns added so let them know if you don't like the tingly sensation! I enjoyed that you get to choose the ingredients you want and the price is determined by that. SERVICE: Getting the ingredients, utensils, and sauces are self-service, but they do bring the food out to you. They initially brought us the wrong one but it was corrected right away! It also looks like they have some kinks to work out in terms of communication with customers and staff, but I did see the owner/manager(?) explain the process to whoever looked confused. VIBE: It's a bit smaller than I was expecting since tables are only on one side of the restaurant, so I can see how it can feel crowded if there's a wait. I personally felt that the table where they have the sauces and bowls was very compressed. Only 2 people can really get ingredients and sauces at a time so not the most efficient layout. OVERALL: I would give it a 3.5 rounded up to a 4 since nothing was super outstanding but I do think I will crave it time to time. It's the only Korean-style Malatang place I know in Georgia as of now so I would give it a try if you like a more mild version of mala! read more

Korean style mala 麻辣 Mala (Xiang Guo) 麻辣香鍋 dry pot stir-fry started trending in the US around 2009, starting at the New World Mall Food Court in Flushing, Queens. Since then this Chinese classic dish, has become popular in Korea, and adapted more to Korean tastes. The pay by weight, customized, buffet style selections, have some great noodle, ttoek, protein, and vegetable options. I always put too much in my bowl! Each individual serving in placed on a personal flame burner to keep warm. I've written entire articles on Korean style mala, so feel free to ask me any questions in the comments. This chain hails from Korea. What makes Korean style mala different than the original chinese mala? Firstly, ma 麻 = numbing + la 辣 =spicy. Unfortunately, the term "mala" is used when food is often just spicy and not numbing. Here, the mala is sweeter, but still thankfully has both spicy and numbing flavor. The sauces are smooth here; not containing pieces of chili pepper, peppercorn, garlic, ginger that is typically in mala. This makes for an easier eating experience. There are also spice grades, and cream (rose) versions. Featured items: 1 麻辣香鍋 마라샹궈 Mala Xiang Guo - Mala dry pot, customized. 2 奶麻辣香鍋 로제마라샹궈 Rose Mala Xiang Guo - Cream added to the regular dry mala to create a deliciously smooth rose sauce. 3 鍋包肉 돈등심 꿔바로우 Pork Guobarou - Thin sliced pork, deep fried crispy in rice flour batter. Covered in sweet sour sauce. Highly addictive and the crispy texture is perfect for dipping in the mala sauce. 4 奶油炸蝦 크림통새우 꿔바로우 Cream Shrimp - Quality snappy shrimp, deep frued crispy in rice flour batter. Covered in "cream sauce" that is very similar to sweetened condensed milk. Also, great for dipping. I can't wait to visit again and try the 麻辣燙 마라탕 mala soup & 짜장샹궈 jajang black bean sauce version. Why visit here? Quality ingredients Fully customized Buffet style by weight ingredients you select Actual 麻辣 fragrance, numbing + spicy. Served fresh and hot per person Large assortment of noodles and ttoek, great for those noodle connisoures. Sauce bar Friendly staff that is super helpful Perfect for to go and online orders Casual atmosphere read more

It's alright. I can't tell the difference between a Korean malatang and a Chinese malatang, which is the original one. The food choice is alright, nothing special, some regular stuff. They do look cleaner than some other malatang or hotpot places I've been to. The price is above average. They don't allow you to take food that worth less than $10, which means you HAVE to spend over $10 per person every time you come in. I don't like that. Btw, they charge for the rice. No service whatsoever as it is a help yourself restaurant, you take everything by yourself. The little stove under the pot they serve you is a joke. The only purpose of it is to keep your food not cold for about 1 min. After 1 min, the fuel runs out. It doesn't affect the food at all but I just feel like it's way too unnecessary with extra steps to have the same food. The malatang flavor is more authentic than some Chinese places surprisingly. Overall a 3.5 to me, I gave it a 4 because it's pretty clean inside and it matters a lot to me. read more

A little bit more expensive than other malatang places but it's still so good! The broth is rich and flavorful, and they have a wide variety of ingredients to add inside. The spice levels get a little more serious here though. I tried the rose base and it was so spicy. If you're a weak spice person like me, definitely order on the more conservative side! read more

Greetings received immediately upon arrival. First timers we're given instructions on how the concept works. Very friendly staff. You grab a bowl and collect your food ingredients including meat, vegetables then proceed to pay. There are different ways to cook your food and spicy levels as well. Self serve water and sauce station. Fresh ingredients including meats, fishballs, meatballs, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, lotus, bok choy, bean sprouts, fishcakes, and so much more. The concept is pretty cool. Ambiance is nice as well. Definitely will come back again! If you don't like spicy this might be a challenge. read more

Sorimmara Duluth - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Came with 4 friends and I ordered the rose Malatang but my order came out 15 mins later than theirs. Cashier said it takes a while bc it has to be stir fried but we think they mightve used the wrong base and then just tried to add rose bc it came out really light with a puddle of small liquid at the bottom--tasted more watery than flavorful or stir fried looking tbh. Also have to say I don't love that the meat is prepackaged in portions so you can't control it. Plus, not opening the noodles and weighing on the side doesn't help you gauge how full your bowl is and gets you to spend more. Will say it's pricier than other places I've been as well -- a solid $10 more than I usually pay read more

Needless to say, the hype was just hype. The delivery of that hype is just not matching. So I've seen this place pop up frequently on my social media feeds. So I finally bit the bullet and tried it. This franchise is located off Steve Reynolds in front of The Rey on Reynolds apartment complex in the same plaza as Ebisu Life store and Steami's Lobster. It's a small place with a dark paint job with good lighting giving it a chill vibe inside as they play top 40 radio. The business model on how they service you is self-serve so there isn't much of a "service" as they are not servers like a conventional restaurant. This is completely a self-serve place. The way it works is you decide your choice of protein from beef to chicken to pork. Then you move onto your fungus, noodles, and veggie choices. And they offer a wide variety from wood ear, bean curd, enoki mushrooms, potato slices, bok choy, napa cabbage, instant ramen noodles. There is also a hot pot sauce station as well with all the necessary sauce fixings like sesame sauce, chopped garlic, cilantro, scallions, soy sauce, chili oil, vinegar among other sauce options. Then you go up to the counter to pay. They ask if you want soup or stir fry, you choose your spice live, they weigh the bowl, and they seat you. After a bit, they come back with your food either in the broth or stir fry. It comes in a bowl with a heating stove to keep your food warm... That's the basis of how to order food from here... So let's talk about the food. It's a Koreanized version of Taiwanese hotpot or stir fry. Instead of it being all you can eat hot pot, it's just a one stop shop type deal. The beef isn't that good of quality but it's thinly cut so it cooked pretty fast and I could eat it decently. Everything is cooked well. It's not bad per se but it is hotpot if you get the Malatang (tang is Korean for broth or soup) which is what I chose for this visit. The broth is mediocre at best. It was missing a certain depth of flavor to it. And to be honest, level 3 spice isn't spicy at all. There wasn't a ma la to the whole deal. It was just a bit too bland and not spicy enough to have that full mala experience that this place is named for. For level 3 spice, I was supposed to walk away with a bit of pain and numbness but, I didn't even break a sweat. I was a bit disappointed at that considering I had this expectation of experiencing the MaLa but I did not and to me, for that to be missing was just a let down considering the employee looked at me as if level 3 was going to be spicy but it wasn't even spicy at all. All in all, it's not a bad model but there are some things that need to be fixed. Deepen the flavor of the broth. Give level 3 spice a 30% boost in spicy and numbyness for that MaLa, and that should make it work. This is a good place to come to for a decent early dinner with friends and family or a casual date spot. read more

Ok mala for what you can get in Georgia. It is on the oilier side, and also on the pricier side. The taste isn't bad, but as I said it's good for what you can get in the area. However, the staff was kind of mean. Maybe it was because it was a bit crowded, but it really soured my experience here. Overall would say okay food, and if you really want to sort of taste what mala dry pot kind of tastes like this is kind of close. read more

Decided to try this out on a Sunday afternoon around 3:30pm. There were two tables dining and one was the kitchen staff taking their lunch break. An employee explained how it works. First seat yourself and make a note of your table number. Grab a bowl and choose your ingredients from the bar. Go to the cashier, weigh your bowl, choose Malatang or the dry pot version, your heat level (1-3), and your table number. You'll get an order number tile so they can match table to order number. Good quality control measure there. One nice detail at the ingredient bar is that the meats are in a separate cooler. They are also individually wrapped. Some people have criticized other local establishments for being less sanitary by having people's dirty hands touching the tongs which fall into the meat bin. Not a problem here if that bothers you. Grab a plastic bag of your favorite meat and add it to your bowl. I opted for the Malatang at Level 3, Extra Spicy. The food came out in about 10 minutes. Since you build your own bowl there's not much to say about ingredients. That was all on me. What can I say about the soup? It was pleasantly hot and there was a nice amount of mala. I didn't have to slow down due to the heat and I could have drank the bowl after finishing all the meat and veggies. It was satisfying, but I could have gone for a Level 6 spicy if they offered it. They also offer Level 0 spicy upon request according to one of the signs. Nice clean interior to the restaurant. Well lit and the music isn't too loud. Free wifi password is printed on the bottom of the receipt. I was skeptical of the weigh it yourself approach but it takes up less room than a conveyor belt system. The conveyor belt sushi and hot pot places tend to be geared to groups (I don't need 6 quail eggs). Selling by the pound lets you pick which ingredients you want and how much you want. If you're not starving you don't need to go with a whole pound. Overall the food was above average and the convenience/experience is why I'll be back. read more

Sorimmara Duluth - Malatang Level 3. - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

I've been wanting try malatang for a while now so i'm glad this place opened. You put the ingredients you want from the ingredient bar then you pay by weight. The ingredient bar was super clean and the toppings seemed fresh. The prices were $14.99/Ib for malatang(soup version) and $16.99/Ib for mala xiang guo(dry pot). After trying both, I definitely prefer the soup because the dry pot was a bit over cooked and had too much sauce. The dry pot was also spicier than the soup even though we got the same level. Taste wise, I wish the mala flavor was stronger because there was barely any tingly sensation but the veggies and meats tasted fresh. Would recommend to anyone who wants a milder version of Chinese hot pot. read more

I ordered the rose mala Xiang. It's a buffet style order where you grab a bowl and you put alllllll the stuff you want to be cooked in the rose mala sauce and the kitchen will cook it for you. They will charge you for the weight of the bowl. It was delicious and I enjoyed the warm dish especially on a cold evening. My favorite was the cheese filled toppoki and the glass flat Chinese noodles. read more

Sorimmara Duluth - Rose mala xiang - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Got to recently have my first experience with Korean Mala style cuisine and was not disappointed! Sorimmara is located in Duluth off of Steve Reynolds Blvd in front of The Rey apartments. There is a decent amount of free parking but there are other businesses attached. The grand opening was on May 3 and thanks to the algorithm Gods on my IG I saw they were offering 50% on fried rice by showing the ad at checkout. Upon entering the restaurant was well lit and had vibrant colors and a few tv's playing K-pop videos. Their mascot is this cute panda and he was all over the walls. I went around 4:30-5 and it was quite a few people seated as well as ordering. I wasn't quite sure of the concept but at first glance I saw a cooler that housed various meat,veggies, noodles, and tofu akin to a self serve station at a hot pot restaurant. There was also a cooler for drinks, free water, and a sauce station that even had suggested recipes( I loved this because I never know what sauces to mix at hotpot). I was greeted as I walked in and was told I could be seated anywhere. I was a little confused due to the positioning of the counter, it seems like one side is to weigh your disposable hot pot bowl once you've made selections. As it was a lot of people and I wasn't getting hot pot I kind of just grabbed a seat until I decided to go to the counter and ask the process to just order a to go meal. The guy at the register was super helpful and I feel like he may be the manager, but he explained how the process worked and when I said I wanted fried rice he knew about the ad also! I asked him for a suggestion and he said I should go with the Mala Mayo Fried rice, which I had my eye on anyway. After ordering I waited for about 10 min while watching the other families that were obvious pros enjoy steaming bowls or soup hot pot as well as dry. My order came up and I made my exit to the car. Once I opened the plate the aroma was intoxicating! I'm a sucker for a good fried rice and this looked amazing. The hot rice with the melted kewpie mayo, fresh veggies, pork, and seaweed on top was a perfect bite! My only gripe would be maybe the portion size which is probably fine for anyone else but I wanted more seeing as without the 50% off the meal would've been $14.99. Overall I would go back just to give the full hotpot experience a try. read more

Came here from Boston while visiting my family due to many recommendations and this place definitely met those expectations! You get to choose your own ingredients and type of mala (and spice level) and pay by weight. I was blown away at the flavor of the mala tang broth. It was numbing, spicy, and had this complex flavor that left me sipping the soup after I ate all the ingredients. I loved it so much that I came here an additional time during my four day trip. I wish we had a place like this in Boston read more

I've been looking for a malatang place like this (choosing your own toppings and then paying based on weight) in Georgia since 2018, so I'm so happy that Somimmara has opened here in Duluth. Spice level can be customized; they say level 2 is similar to Shin Ramen, and level 3 is slightly less than Buldak which I found to be accurate. Staff is very friendly, and there are a variety of options for toppings! The place is a bit small, but I've never had a problem with finding a seat. Would definitely go again! read more

Used to come here nearly weekly (it was THAT good), but the mala is sadly unrecognizable and completely watered down now. I don't know what happened to the old cook(s), but it seems like all different staff now and my last few visits the rosé drypot was watery, vegetables hard, and just an overall complete decrease in flavor intensity. Won't be coming back unless there's big improvements, sadly. Would love to see them bounce back read more

Sorimmara Duluth - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

I've seen a lot of TikTok and Instagram reels of Sorimmara so I wanted to try it out. It's really similar to any other hot pot places. Only difference is the sauce, broth and how you pay. They have bowls that you pick out the protein, vegetables and noodles for the pot. I think looking at it it's no different from the ayce hot pot. You'll end up paying for the weight in total of your bowl. The sauce was pretty good but me and my friend end up sharing our bowl and our hot pot. It came out fast. The broth was really flavorful but I had hoped that the pot was bigger so we can have more soup in there. The employees were constantly cleaning up and refilling the food stand. It's more self service style here. We can in and got seated right the way but then left kinda lost because we don't know what to do. The one who helped us out I think either was the manager or the owner, I think she saw we were lost and confused finally came up and helped use out. She explained how it work. Recommend to do the hot pot since it's our first time here. When the food came out she gave us instructions to mix the dipping sauce. It was clean and organized. Like I said it's no different from other ayce hot pot around and I think we ended up having too much food because it's our first time trying it out and we got a bit of everything to try. I would recommend you to try it out for the different experience but me myself don't like it enough to come back ( not their fault by any means). Maybe the stir fried is more unique but the hot pot didn't impress me. Oh and they do have free donuts for dessert but I didn't get any. read more

Went back and ordered level 1 (mild) spice malaxiangguo and it was MUCH better compared to level 2- I enjoyed the flavor without it being too spicy. Also tried the malatang at level 1 spice, and it was definitely less spicy than the malaxiangguo at the same spice level. The mala flavor is delicious and so flavorful for both dishes. Looking forward to trying the guobaorou and rosé malaxiangguo dishes. read more

If you like malatang, this place is a good choice. Let's start with the seating situation. You're lucky if you come when it's not busy and you can get seated right away. Otherwise, it's going to be a mess. You put your name on a waitlist, but there's no one checking it or making sure you're being seated. The sauce and ingredient bar is right next to the door and very small, so you'll be running into people the entire time. It's really an inconvenient way of setting up the space. Price is pretty fair until they take your bowl back to cook it and it comes back with a bunch of ingredients you didn't pick. Both times my friend got noodles and they forgot to add it in. And both times I got a variety of veggies that I didn't originally pick to put in my soup. Good thing I wasn't allergic to anything that hopped into my bowl, otherwise that would've been very bad. Although it's not guaranteed that you'll get what you want, at least it'll taste good? read more

Great options, great flavor, and amazing ambiance! But.. one of the workers seem a little off putting. Every time my family and I go, there's this one lady who just stares at costumers (including my family and I) while we are eating. Which is very uncomfortable, not only does she stare at you with judgmental eyes, she also can be very passive aggressive. I love this place really!! But this lady makes the atmosphere very uncomfortable! Making me not want to go back. read more

I've dined at Sorimmara several times now, and each time was a pretty great experience! I was very excited about this Korean malatang franchise to open in GA, and it did not disappoint! I liked the option of being able to customize my own bowl - only thing is that the area where the ingredients are is small and a bit crowded. They offer a good variety of toppings, and several meat options! Their shrimp app (being very popular in Korea) was also very good. Overall, I definitely recommend this spot! read more

Food good, people nice. I like the customization and how I can load my thing up with as many rice cakes as I want. They cook the food in whatever broth you choose and they always make it taste amazing. My only grievance is that choosing the spice level can be somewhat inconsistent since I always go for level 3, and it is either not spicy enough or the perfect amount of spice and I don't know which it will be. read more

This was my first time trying Malatang and let me just start by saying I don't believe it is for everyone. The numbness from the soup takes away from the other flavors. The broth tasted very artificial to me. I found the price point hard to justify for a self serve noodle place as well. read more

I really loved my rose mala Tteokbokki. I picked up Togo last week. What kind of grossed me out was that my to go had bits and pieces of other noodles in my food. I know they use the same pot of hot water to parboil the food for everyone's dishes. But they need to do a better job with removing the prior bits and pieces before cooking the next customers dish. If I order tteokbokki I don't expect to have ramen and other types of pieces that don't belong in my dish. 4 stars for the food because it was delicious read more
