I love the food here! I always get the Mala Hot Pot Pork Level#1 Spicy with Rice! My Favorite!

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!

Love this place. It's pretty addicting! Been going here for more than a decade. The first owner was so nice and I miss him. The new owner is super nice too. The food is always consistent and soooooo delicious!!! I had it twice this week.

I love this place so much that we come every Wednesday, we call it "Wuji Wednesday". My favorite is the Shrimp Mala with a side of cauliflower. The service is great, the owner is super friendly and funny. His staff is always nice and attentive to our needs. I wish they would expand or relocate somewhere near the Southside but it's always worth the drive. I always leave here happy and full :)

Opening hours and holiday schedule at Wujis. The mala lamb level 5 was an absolute delight! The balance of spices was impeccable. The tender meat paired with the perfectly seasoned sauce created an explosion of taste that left me craving more. Each bite was a delightful journey through layers of rich, savory goodness! Will definitely come back again!

My friend and I came here on a Wednesday night at 7PM, and we were not expecting to see a lot of people in the middle of the week. The parking was pretty packed, so expect to drive around a bit if you come around this time. However, Wu Ji's Mala House had a good amount of people, and we were seated right away!! The service was awesome and quick. I got the House Beef Pot but with the Mala broth (level 2). It was soo delicious - the meat was tender and the broth was so good!!! If you like spicy hot pot then you should definitely come to Wu Ji's Mala House. It may look like a small pot, but it will actually fill you up.

We love the lamb mala hotpot here. My spice level is 4 or 5 cuz it’s not good if it’s not spicy. It’s definitely authentic and the portion is decent for me. We’ve been going here for about 10 years now and the taste is still the same.

First time eating there, and that was a great experience.The service was really nice, the server explained everything and recommended things from the menu.The concept of the place is simply Chinese hot pot with different ingredients, and you can also choose the level of spiciness.My husband really liked the fish cakes.Everything was fresh and delicious.I really recommend this place.

If it doesn't burn my bootyhole, I don't want it. I am a loyal Wuji's patron even if it feels like the price goes up each time I stop by to eat, lol. I never change my order: Beef Mala w/ glass noodles (or sometimes rice). Side of tendon, ramen & enoki. Lvl 4. They don't skimp on the meat or internal organs. Their broth is salty & spicy! They have other pot options "house pot" which doesn't come with internal organs if you aren't into that stuff & different spice levels. Service has always been great. Oh! If it's your birthday, you can get your pot for free!! Just bring a friend

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!

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!
