A good place to eat after playing in Golden Gate Park.You can choose your own vegetable and meat soup base. There are many choices, and the dishes are very fresh.My favorite is the spicy soup base, which is very authentic.The service attitude is also very good, and there is free hot tea.I will come again next time.

Good soup and cheap. I picked the Szechuan classic. They warned me that the soup is really spicy so I asked them to dilute it a little bit. The spiciness was really toned down but the soup was still pretty flavourful. The most disappointing thing was the meat though. Beef sliced was hard to chew. I would opt out for fish ball or meat ball instead for protein

Writing this regarding their mala tang (design your own noodle soup option) in hopes that this place can step up on their quality. The ingredients don’t appear too fresh the time I went. For a medium size bowl, it comes closer to 30$, which to me isn’t worth the price.Perhaps they can lower their prices, attract more customers, use their ingredients to ensure freshness. Otherwise, I’d recommend a larger restaurant that does Mala Tang in other parts of the city (Stonestown)
One of my favorite restaurants in the city. Design your own soup by choosing from among sixty-ish nourishing and funky ingredients (all types of mushrooms, greens, noodles, meats, dumplings, roots, etc) and then cooking them in your broth of choice.My favorite is the Szechuan Pickled Cabbage Soup, but others are good too.The people working here are kind and friendly, and there's always hot barely tea for free.Would particularly recommend to warm up and nourish after a botanical garden adventure.

Disappointing experience.... The Mala flavour was lacking. No hint of Szechuan pepper numbness.The ingredients were not fresh.... The soup was bland.Sorry, I'll only return if I'm super desperate for malatang.... Need to find better options

Went here on a whim and so glad I did! The mala tang style involves putting vegetables, meat, tofu, noodles, etc in a basket. You pay by weight and choose a broth. The woman at the counter was super helpful in giving advice about the broths, sauces, and appropriate amount of food.We tried the Szechuan green peppercorn broth, kimchi broth, and the classic Szechuan broth. And we got to try the hot and sour. Everything was delicious! The kimchi and the green peppercorn broth are both lightly spicy, whereas the classic and the hot and sour are definitely more spicy.Overall, a great customizable experience in a casual setting. I good place for groups of people with both omnivores and vegetarians or groups with people who eat different amounts of food. I’d definitely come back.Vegetarian options: You choose your own ingredients and there are lots of vegetables, tofu, mushrooms, and noodles that are all vegetarian.
