The food was delicious, but when I was almost finished eating, a piece of wire came out.

The malatang itself is very delicious. It's not too greasy, and it's just delicious and tingly. It seems to be made well.But I always order it as Extra Spicy, but the person taking my order puts it in Spicy, so it tastes spicy. I wonder if he did it on purpose, but he says that every time I go... It's already happened 3 times. Even though he always emphasizes that it's Extra, it says Spicy. One time, it tasted spicy. I asked for more because I didn't have enough, so they cooked it again.

Ordered thru delivery app. Tried the 1.5lb beef with tripe/assorted veggies hot pot with chicken gizzard and quail eggs skewers. Hot pot broth was clean and flavorful. Didn't come with any sauces. I decided to order from this place because they had bunmoja (noodle like rice cake mochi?). I've been wanting to get my hands on them to try since I love chewy texture. Had good amount of meat and would definitely order here again.

The best malatang place in LA.... I crave it every week and I do come here every week. I came here with my friends today and they said they liked it so better than the ones they tried in Korea!! We also ordered sweet and sour pork for the first time today and it was soooo delicious... you all must try this.... The service is always awesome, quick and attentive!! Please come here and eat everyone, you won't regret it...

People were very, very nice and patient. There was one spice that pervaded most of the food which I didn't particularly like but that's just me. Everybody else in our large party liked it. Worth a try.

You grab a bowl, pick what you want from the cold bar, weight it and you can either get it dry or with soup. Great variety, delicious skewers and they have fen hao zi noodles!!! OBSESSED!!! I love how I can order malatang and skewers at the same time. Their skewers were grilled to perfection and the seasoning was the highlight... very very flavorful. This spot hits for malatang when you're in ktown. They also have parking underground or meters if you can find a spot. Will be back for sure.

Table is sooo dirty. After we order food, they first serve our soup to another table and we had to order again and wait for another 30 minutes. The second time they take some food out in the kitchen after they weigh the food. This is Ridiculous, we pay 2lb but only get 1.8lb??? Shrimp is gone bad and they still serve it. WORST experience ever.The tables were extremely dirty and the store smelled bad. After ordering for the first time, it was served to someone else's table. After ordering for the second time and waiting for 30 minutes in vain, we found that the vegetables we ordered had been changed, the spinach was replaced with coriander, and the yellow noodles were missing. I don’t know how much I cooked after paying 2 pounds. Very outrageous. The shrimps are still being sold even if they are spoiled. I don’t know how to comment on A’s hygiene. I suggest you report it and check again.
I don't really crave mala hot pot but this spot made me crave it for lunch on a cold winter day. You can choose from a variety of toppings and it's priced fairly at $16.99/lb. The employee and owner are extremely friendly and even gave me and my friend some sesame balls for dessert as a service! You can also ask for white rice on the side! If you love mala or hot pot, def give this spot a try!

I think this place is new, replaced something else previously at the Derby Plaza. The place is really clean, they validate parking for the garage underneath. You pick your own ingredients for the malatang, either soup or dry pot style, and choose level of spicy. Mild for us had a kick but still enjoyable as we don't typically eat too spicy, so I appreciate there's a low level spice, but still has a good amount of numbing! While we dined in there were numerous pickup and delivery orders, but not too many sit down diners, which was actually nice. The staff are very friendly and attentive. We also got squid legs, lamb, and gizzard skewers. I think they were all nicely done, the lamb was well seasoned and juicy. Will definitely add this to our list of favs!

Best mala tang in K town! I ate mala tang and lamb skewers both were so good! Fresh veggies and flavorful broth! You can get a free soda if you pay by cash :-)

Came on a Saturday night and there was ample seating. They had a solid selection of self serve items including sliced beef, fish, fish balls, squid, quail eggs, veggies, and noodles. We ended up with 2.7 pounds of food that was more than enough for 2-3 people. The dry hot pot flavor was spot on, and medium was just enough spicy but not too much. Their lamb skewers and squid came on a hot plate and were tender. They do serve alcohol and give rice per request for both dry hotpot and soup. Pay after you eat and don't forget to validate your parking before you leave.

Hello, the spicy hot pot taste is good and tasty to eat regularly. I've tried hot pot and sweet sour fried pork, stir-fried version of hot pot. It was good, but after visiting 4-5 times, there were some pieces of noodle which I didn't order and a piece of scallion. I thought they boiled the ingredients after other customer or they put food waste to my hot pot. They seems kind and it was award. I just passed I thought it was mixed from previous customer's not from trash. The right after this experience, there were more pieces of short noodles looks like from trash and the cabbage taste like the bad and smells bad which is not fresh. They act like nice and kind, but they seems they might something on customer's food? I can't trust their service and cooking method, I will never go this restaurant.
