I have been to DLY several times this past year and it is one of my favorite mala hotpot places. It is a newer spot and I like it's small, nicely decorated atmosphere.The first time I went I was shocked by how spicy the medium spice mala broth is (in a good way)! They do tell you it is spicy and it makes me sad to see people give lower reviews only because the broth was spicy because that's what szechuan/chongqing broth is! Theirs is especially spicy though even compared to medium at other places in Boston.I only get the spicy mala broth here. One thing I like is that after 10 they give 20% off discount! Prices are still comparable to other premium hotpot places but the late hours and discount sets it apart from other places.I love their knife cut noodles and it's only $1.99 per order. Other ingredients I have gotten are the beef plate and boneless short rib, bok choy, tofu skin, tofu puff, and enoki mushrooms. They also have other specialty dishes like milky beef, beef tripe, etc. Although it is not my favorite spot of all time in Boston, I think the late night hours and late night discount make it better than other places in some ways. The service here is quick and everyone is friendly and attentive to all your needs. Highly recommend this spot but definitely don't get the spicy broth if you don't like extremely numbing spice.

Nothing really special about this hot pot but every ingredients are fresh. Mainly ordered all the combo so we can try little of each.

BEST hot pot in Boston! If you’re interested in quality food the price is worth it. The meat is the best we’ve had out of all the hot pot competitors we tried in Allston. The service including management has been excellent. As soon as we enter they make us feel at home. We never felt rushed while we were here and were always able to leisurely enjoy our time and food. They never fail to let us know of any promotions or offers either. Highly recommend. ?
