Stopped by Wu Ji's Mala House with a friend and loved it. The broth is well-simmered with a strong herbal flavor. The spicy pot is fragrant (not just numbing) and the braised beef tripe was excellent . Friendly owner and staff. Cash or Zelle only. Highly recommend the sour plum drink--perfect for a cozy hot pot on a cold day. read more

STAY FAR AWAY FROM HERE I'm a strong believer that a restaurant's cleanliness and service reflect the quality of its food and Wuji was an absolute disgrace on all fronts. I've never encountered service and food this terrible. I was in the area and decided to give Wuji a try, but the problems started the moment I walked in. The servers already had an attitude, and when I sat down, the table was so sticky and dirty it raised a red flag. Despite the restaurant not being busy, it was almost impossible to get the waitress's attention. The bathroom was also filthy, and if that's what they let customers see, I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like. When my pot finally arrived, I noticed lots of black specks floating in the soup and stuck on the veggies and meat. I brought it up to the waitress, and instead of addressing the concern, she gave me even more attitude and acted as if I was at fault for asking. The food itself was terrible. It was not only oily but constantly seeing more of the black bits float up was so unappetizing that after only a couple of bites, I decided it was safer to leave and eat somewhere else. I highly recommend staying far away from this place. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. read more

I rarely leave bad reviews, but this experience was completely unacceptable. My group ordered 4 beef pots and confirmed it clearly with the waitress. When the food arrived, she brought out 5. We politely mentioned that we only ordered 4, and she took the extra one back without any issue. A few minutes later, an older man (possibly the owner) stormed out and aggressively confronted us and insisted that we ordered 5. We calmly explained multiple times that we hadn't, but he refused to listen, raised his voice, and accused us of lying. He even yelled at the waitress and continued to yell at us despite us remaining respectful. The situation escalated to the point where we no longer felt comfortable or safe staying there. We would've been willing to pay for the extra pot just to avoid a scene, but his behavior was so hostile and unprofessional that leaving was the only option. I'll never return here and wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone who values basic respect. read more

I recommend coming after 9pm for their 20% off special. They offer different spice levels starting at 0.5%. As someone who can't handle spice too well I thought 1% would be good. The spice level was manageable but I would opt for the 0.5% level next time read more

Wuji's Mala House - Beef mala with level 1 spicy - Taiwanese Near Me - San Jose, California

Definitely didn't want to leave this review because I initially liked this place. My group and I came here and ordered 4 beef pots. Even though we confirmed with her that we were ordering 4, she misunderstood us and later brought out 5 beef pots. When she brought a 5th one out, and we reminded her we ordered 4, she brought it back to the kitchen. Shortly after, an older tall male worker came out and rudely asked us if we ordered 5 beef pots. When we told him we ordered 4, he told all of us to leave. The beef pots were all already served at the table and we tried explaining to him that we ordered 4. He brought the same waitress over and asked her if we really ordered 4 which she said that we ordered 5. His attitude was very hostile and he raised his voice to us and his own worker when he was questioning all of us. Since he didn't believe us, he kicked us out and we left. He lectured us and got upset for something that we didn't do and it was a very uncomfortable experience. My group would have been willing to pay for that extra beef bowl if the owner wasn't so aggressive and insisted we were liars. Definitely will not be coming here again and I hope nobody else experiences this terrible customer service. read more

My boyfriend and I came back here after not visiting for a while, and I was surprised to see that the original owner had returned after reading some of the reviews. They now have a happy hour from 9-11 PM, which I really like since I tend to eat dinner pretty late. We ordered the beef house pot and the beef mala pot. I wouldn't recommend the regular house pot unless you're into creamy, milky broths! The broth tasted a little better after a while but I still did not like it. On the other hand, the mala broth is super popular here and my favorite! I usually go with level 3 or medium spicy and it's just the right amount of spice for me! I always replace the mala ingredients since I don't like intestines. I did notice the broth has changed and a lot less salty now. Personally, I kind of liked the saltiness of the old version, but that's just a preference for me. I love the sate sauce here! I wished they had bigger bowls, since I like to take out my meat and vermicelli to keep them from overcooking. Overall, even with the broth changes, the food is still pretty good, and I'd definitely come back especially for the 20% off during happy hour! read more

Portions are in the pot are definitely smaller, for nearly $25 a pot it's a getting tough When my pot came it was like nearly filled only half way.. They def are stingier because you can tell the exactly portion every single piece of tendon, tofu, intestines n tripe. AND there glass noodle portion is smaller. I've been here way too much, I know the difference. read more

Wuji's Mala House - Taiwanese Near Me - San Jose, California

I'm honestly so disappointed. Looking back, I should have left the moment they said they ran out of rice because everything just went downhill from there. For context, I hadn't eaten all day. I was starving, which means just about anything should have tasted amazing. Instead, this was one of the most frustrating meals I've had. It was still more than an hour before closing when the server told us they were out of rice, and the server suggested ramen so I ordered it, at an additional cost of course. The issue is that the ramen came uncooked, but there wasn't nearly enough broth to cook it. My pot was drying up so fast I had to pour in my drinking water just to keep things from burning. That completely watered everything down, to the point where my level 5 spice (the max level) wasn't even spicy anymore. The glass noodles were very chewy. My fire went out before I could finish cooking everything because the ramen took so long. To make things worse, I had no water for at last 15 minutes. I placed my empty cup at the edge of the table hoping someone would notice. I used to really love this place, but this experience left me so sad and disappointed. I left full, but completely unsatisfied. I don't think I can recommend this spot as my favorite hot pot anymore. read more

It pains me to write this review with only 2 stars because my family and I have been loyal patrons of this restaurant for many years, but the reality is that our recent experiences over the past 3 months have been very inconsistent. For context, we typically visit this restaurant a couple times every month as we live nearby. My aunt, in particular, loves their Mala soup and it has become a go-to for us whenever we come back from international trips or are simply craving their flavors. We remember fondly the business manager who used to run these operations and were pleasantly surprised by the renovations last spring and the return of the original owner. As I mentioned though, since 2026 started, the soup has been more and more hit or miss. In January when my mom, aunt, and I came, the soup was not spicy enough and was thicker than usual. When we came back just two weeks later, the soup didn't seem fresh and gave everyone stomachaches. Every time we come, we order the same soup, ingredients, and spice level. Our latest experience was the most disappointing. We came and again, ordered the same soup, ingredients, and spice level 4, only to find that this time, the soup was twice as spicy as usual and it seemed to be a pot of only simmering chili oil -- there was none of the Mala spice or depth of flavor we have come to love and expect. Despite this disappointment, I do want to give a huge amount of credit to the incredibly kind waitresses there -- they took it upon themselves to serve us drinks and try to make the experience more palatable. But the soup was simply inedible and even when we took it home to adjust the spice, there was nothing that could be done to salvage the food and it ended up being a complete waste and an unsatisfying experience. We are still craving that normal level 4 spice, but the inconsistency has made this restaurant a gamble each time -- and a pricey one at that. I truly hope the owners will take this as constructive feedback and find a way to return to the consistency of the soup that my family and I have come to love. We have had many 4/5 star experiences here over the years -- it's what kept us coming back even when we had a few dine-in experiences that left more to be desired! But the combination of regularly increasing prices with inconsistent soup quality and portion sizes makes it very hard to choose this restaurant over others that are more reliable. read more

Wuji Mala is back in its prime, and I couldn't be happier. If you've been around as long as I have (13+ years!), you remember when this place had two-hour wait times and for good reason. Now, with Chef George back in action, it feels like the soul of the place has returned. The Lamb Mala Pot #5? Still flawless. It's like he never left. Balanced heat, bold flavor, tender meat--pure nostalgia in a bowl. They've also given the interior a much-needed facelift. Gone are the hot colors--now it's neutral, sleek, and clean. The new floors and upgraded chairs definitely elevate the dining experience. It's got that refreshed energy while still honoring what made it special. Bonus: They now offer Happy Hour from 9-11 PM with 20% off. If I lived nearby, I'd probably be camped out in the corner every other night. If you've never tried Taiwanese hot pot, or you're looking for a hot pot spot that delivers consistently bold, unforgettable flavor--Wuji Mala is it. Don't sleep on this place. George didn't miss a beat, and neither should you. read more

This place is beyond unacceptable. The food quality was awful and the vegetables were filthy. You could literally see dirt stuck on the vegetables and floating in the hotpot. It was clear nothing was cleaned properly before being served. I felt sick just looking at it. The staff were also unprofessional and made the entire experience even worse. It's obvious they don't care about cleanliness or their customers. I would never come back here, and I strongly recommend you don't either. If you care at all about hygiene or basic food safety, stay far away from this place. read more

Wuji is my fav hotpot restaurant, especially in winter time. I hope it can open on Wednesdays :) read more

I think the food and service was alright. This is a pretty quaint spot with not much decor inside. The beef mala pot had a good, deep flavor but was overly salty. I got medium spicy but looking back, I could've gotten a higher spice level. When you come here, keep in mind that they only accept cash, Zelle, or Paypal and when you pay with PayPal, there's usually a fee because you're paying a business. I recommend just bringing enough cash. Overall, this place was alright food, service, and ambiance wise. It was an okay meal but I don't think I'll come back again. read more

The worse hotpot restaurant I've been to by far... One beef hot pot $22 before tax, not much items inside... mostly covered with lettuce... The soup base - no taste. No other dipping sauce only soy sauce. Payment method: only accept cash or zelle. Damn... feel so shame to call friend here for her bday cos she said she wanna eat hotpot... read more

Love wujis for their intestines and tripe! Not a lot of other hotpot's have these items. Also the fact that it's spicy !

The newly upgraded space is bright, comfortable, and inviting. After hearing that the original owner has resumed management, I couldn't wait to give it another try. We arrived right at the first dinner seating at 6 PM on a particularly hot day-but thanks to the air-conditioning, it was perfectly comfortable. I ordered the 0.5 spicy mala beef broth, and my mom had the non-spicy creamy broth with lamb. The mala broth was just as it should be-rich, flavorful, and full of that signature taste I've missed so much. It truly brought back the original, delicious experience. We left completely stuffed and satisfied. I'm so happy this place is back to its old glory, and we'll definitely be returning for more hot pot soon! read more

Wuji Mala Hotpot is seriously so good. The owner is incredibly kind and generous--it feels like you're being welcomed into someone's home. The food is top quality: bouncy glass noodles, super tender beef, tofu soaked with flavor, soft tempura, sweet shrimp, and fresh, crunchy veggies. And the mala broth? Amazing. I recommend getting it on the side so you can control the spice level. The place is newly renovated and looks great. I was treated to this meal because my student is the owner's grandchild, but this review is totally genuine. read more

Wuji's Mala House - Taiwanese Near Me - San Jose, California

Wow! I never had Mongolian hot pot and I was lucky to try this place. It reminds me of Chinese hot pot in particular, schezuan hot pot. There was a lot of spice and oil which was not to my liking but it's a personal preference! I got the least amount of spice and it was too spicy for me but again this is a me problem and not the restaurant's. They had unique toppings in it like tripe and if you're a huge fan, this is a place for me. For me personally, I don't eat tripe so I wasn't a fan. Why is this a 4 star if I didn't enjoy the restaurant as much? I don't believe in giving a restaurant less stars just because it was not to my preference because the food was good and still high quality! read more

Disappointed :(. I've been a loyal customer since 2018 and recently made a special 1.5-hour drive to celebrate my birthday here (something I'd been looking forward to all year since moving away.) Unfortunately, I learned upon arrival that the birthday meal policy has changed and now requires you to bring a guest. I completely understand businesses need to update their policies, but as someone who came alone and prepared to tip generously (brought cash specifically for this), it was disheartening to drive 3 hours round trip for nothing. The staff explained the new policy, but there was no flexibility or alternative offered, even suggesting I call someone to join me (which wasn't feasible given I'd just driven from out of town.) I'm not upset about policy changes as businesses evolve but, some consideration for long time customers or those traveling significant distances would go a long way. A heads up on the website or a small gesture of goodwill could have turned this disappointment into a positive experience. read more

Before the food was too salty. Now the food is so bland. The beef here is not good quality brother. No flavor at all and the meat feels so rough and hard when you chew. Every time I eat here, I always leave getting the runs. Horrible stomachache. I don't think the restaurant is sanitary at all. I tried so hard to give this place a chance so many times, but I don't think I'll be coming back anymore. Not worth having diarrhea every time you eat it. read more

Food is always tasty and we keep coming back despite the questionable cleanliness. Specifically - 1. The dining room, and hotpot trays, are FILTHY. See attached photos. Dirt on the walls, open containers of dirty dishes and the SMELL. Ventilation is non-existent. Surprising for a restaurant that serves hot-pot powered by a flame. Also has a pungent.....urine like musk. 2. We witnessed the cook chain smoking at the front door. Not like 25 feet away from the door. Like, sitting in the chair that is used to prop open, the door. There was no escaping the cigarette smoke inside the restaurant. Oh well, haven't gotten sick yet. Yolo! read more

Eat here for many years!!! Always love their Beef Mala Small space but clean!! Recommend ask for dipping sauce on the side. 9/10

During my pregnancy 15 years ago, all I craved was spicy food. Wuji came to my rescue every time I needed something hot and spicy! They've been consistent with their broth and portions they give for such a great price! I remember when they were cheaper then but now it's like $23 a pot, which is reasonable considering how much they pack in that tiny pot! I usually order extra veggies because I love my veggies! You get the option to choose between rice or vermicelli to go along with your order also. Go with the rice. My friend and family have a tradition now, Wuji Wednesday where we come here for dinner after work and the Owner is such a nice guy! Always giving us the best service and if you've read my other reviews, good customer service is so important to me. This place definitely has that. If it's your first time, I say try the shrimp mala and beef mala, they're my favorites! But so are the other options! You can choose spicy or non spicy! I'll always be a fan of this place. read more

Ordered the beef mala spicy pot. Since it was my first time, I went with level 2 spice. It had a nice little kick, which makes me want to try level 3 next time. The fixings for the pots on the house (non-spicy) and spicy sections of the menu are different. You can ask to make the house pot spicy. Worth the try but not too high on my list if I wanted to get my one pot hot pot fix. A little more on the pricey side compared to other spots (especially those that have a lunch special). It'd be nice if there were sauces available to go with the meal. Not the biggest space but there are a couple booths inside and limited outdoor seating. Be mindful it is cash only! read more

One of my favorite hot pot places - period! My wife and I have been coming here for over a decade and it never disappoints! Wuji is in my top two places for Taiwanese style hot pot - Haidilao being the other. Wuji gives a more authentic authentic Taiwanese Mala experience. It's a hole in the wall restaurant with traditional ingredients. You can order a house pot or spicy pot. In my opinion, spicy pot is the way to go as they are known for and specialize in their mala pots. You can also order the type of meat in your pot - beef, pork, lamb, or shrimp. Each pot comes with an assortment of vegetables and other goodies! I typically order the spicy pot with beef. ***please read - they will ask you what spicy level you want (0-5) spicy level 1 is VERY spicy so tread carefully. Pro tip - you can order 0.5 level spiciness which my wife orders and she said it's perfect! I usually go with level 1 as I enjoy spicy foods :) The spicy pot comes with thinly cut slices of beef, napa cabbage, tofu, tendon, tripe, fishballs, and large intestine. It also comes with your choice of rice or glass noodles. The bowl comes with a generous amount of food and the mala broth is absolutely delicious. Aromatic, comforting, not too overwhelming with peppercorn, and extremely flavorful. It's served in an individual bowl with ethanol jelly keeping a flame underneath to keep your bowl at a boiling temperature. You will leave full and satiated after a pot here! You can also ask for their house sauce if you enjoy sauces! Make sure you bring cash as they are cash only. They accept zelle and PayPal too. Come try this place out - you won't be disappointed! read more

Recently renovated this is a classic hot pot location. The broth is very rich and worth tasting on its own. The spicy mala is always what I go for allowing you to customize your spice level. Other mala hot pot places rarely focus on the flavor of the broth where as Wuji has mastered a flavor that is addicting and spicy. Service was great and attentive . I highly recommend for spice lovers! read more

Amazing! Came here to eat because my aunt recommended it to me. Never knew such a good individual hot pot spot was here all along. I love how deep the flavor is for the mala pot soup. It is a bit on the salty side, but I really love that to eat with the rice. I can tell the quality of the meat is really good because of how tender it is. Each pot is loaded and the price is reasonable. You HAVE to ask for their dipping sauce, it is the best thing ever. Service is amazing and I would definitely be coming back here again soon. Also, CASH ONLY! read more

Pretty solid hole in the wall spot for hotpot! Has a simple menu of different meats you can get. The mala (spicy) options has items like tripe, tendon, etc that I'm not a fan of.

Hungover? Chilly? Under the weather? Need a facial? Or a free detox? Because you how that hot pot chili oil rolls... Bubble guts and the hershey squirts are the truth! On my perpetual search for outdoor dining, I found Wu Ji's Mala House on yelp. I'm not from the South Bay so I've never heard of this place but apparently they've been open for 16 years so obviously they're doing something right! Wu Ji's Mala House serves individual hot pots and they're open for takeout, delivery (Chinese apps), indoor dining, and outdoor dining in the Pacific Rim Plaza II. Arrived at 11 am, when they supposedly open but there were already two tables eating so maybe they open earlier. Mask mandate is lifted but the lone server still wears a mask and gloves. M E N U * Individual House Pots, pork bone broth, non-spicy ($19.45- $21.45) * Individual Mala Pots, spicy ($20.95-$22.95). --Mala pots come with offal, the house pots do not. --Includes choice of rice or noodles (clear or instant ramen), cabbage, and shacha (?) dipping sauce. --Spice levels for mala pots: .5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 which corresponds to the amount of chili oil. So, the higher the level, the more chili oil. --Extra sides ($1.95-$11): Beef, lamb, tendon, fish balls, pork, tofu, corn, noodles, egg, etc. Beer and sake available. CASH or Zelle only. F O OD * 羊肉麻辣鍋 Lamb Mala Pot w/ veggies, tofu, fish ball, beef tendon, beef tripe, pork intestine, veggies, tofu, glass noodles ($22.95): https://bit.ly/3rG1dA6 ***Requested spicy level 1 ***Added egg ($1.95) The lamb mala pot arrived with an instant flame starter that created a roaring boil that stayed that way until the flame went out about 20 minutes later. You can't control the flame and it shoots out at times so don't try to get a facial here.... You may end up with missing eyebrows. The mala pot was hot and comforting...perfect for a drizzly day. Love that the thin, raw slices of lamb were placed on top so you can control the cooking temp. You get one piece of fish ball, several slices of beef tendon (needed to be cooked longer), several slices of soft honey comb tripe, and several pieces of meltingly soft pork intestine. The veggies (mainly cabbage) and glass noodles were fine...I think I would try the instant ramen next time since I like thicccer noodles. I love spicy...like AZN burn your bunghole spicy but I'm glad I got spicy level 1. As other reviewers stated, the spicy levels do run spicier than the norm and though, it wasn't hella spicy, it still packed some mala numbing heat without the broth being drowned in oil. I had errands to run afterwards so not trying to get the squirts. The shacha (?) dipping sauce was savory, smoky, sweet and packed with umami goodness. TIP: Ask for a takeout container to bring the broth home, go to H Mart down the block for more meat, and BAM you can make another meal outta of this...maybe two meals. S E R V I C E Very friendly, attentive, and fast. Not even 30 seconds of bringing the menus to us, we were asked if we were ready to order. Lol. Typical. Our individual hot pots were ready in about 10 minutes. The owner and lone sever checked in with us several times, offering water refills and to provide a new flame when ours went out. Appreciated, though unexpected given there were reviews about the bad service. A M B I A N C E Hole-in-the wall with a handful of two-tops, three booths, and counter seating. There's 6 dog-friendly tables outside in the plaza. Even though it was drizzly out, the outdoor seating was pretty much covered. P A R K I N G Easy parking in the plaza. Overall, pretty solid individual hot pots. I do like Tasty Pot a bit more but being able to control the temp of your meats is big plus. Also, Wu Ji's is a locally-owned small business, not a chain so more reason to support these guys! read more
