My moms broth was too spicy for her and the staff gave her a mild broth without us even asking. Nice people, great food. Kimchi broth is gas.

Excellent ingredients, great broth, spotless everywhere, free drinks an unexpected bonus. I decided to finally visit this restaurant after seeing it a few times and it did not disappoint. If you don't know what malatang is, you choose a bunch of ingredients and a soup and the staff cooks it for you. Everything looked pretty fresh, but I mostly had beef and lamb with ramen noodles in pork bone broth. After paying a little under $15, I was on my way to the sauce station when I saw that they also offered water, jasmine tea, and some kind of grapefruit juice drink for free. The tea was hot and not too strong. For the sauce, I chose to mix soy sauce with sesame paste and garlic because it's a reliable combination that works with anything. My order was brought out about five minutes after I paid. Everything was cooked well. The broccoli had a slight crunch, the fried tofu wasn't soggy, and the ramen was still a little chewy. The meats were all tender. I decided to try the broth and it had a rich flavor on its own. I finished feeling full and went to the restroom, where I was delighted to see it squeaky clean and smelling fresh. This is an excellent place to get malatang and the price ($14.99/lb) is comparable to other spots in the city. I'm sure their menu items are good too.
