This is a traditional ma la soup or stir-fry place with self-select ingredients. I think the price is ok, while you can buy them and DIY at home yourself and much cheaper. But then don’t come here.

Delicious, but I didn’t leave my phone number.

The food was very yummy. I like how I can choose as much or as little as I want in a bowl, and this place offers so many great and authentic options. It was my first time there, so I asked a few questions, and the lady was patient with me. When my mala hotpot was served, the bowl immediately caught my attention. It was designed around Chinese traditional theatrical elements, and I found it a cute way to learn about the culture. I will definitely visit this place again.

This is a self-service Souping joint. Choose the ingredients and the soup base, weigh-and-pay. It’s a chance to have as much (or as little) proteins and/or noodles one wants.This place has indeed lots of potential to be an outstanding Souping joint???. The soup base choices are certainly flavorful. The variety of soup ingredients is commendable.However, many of ingredients are frozen, pre-processed items. Worst amount them is spam meat, an unhealthy nitrate-preserved material that should be avoided ???. Then there’s what is labeled as crab, but it’s that awful FAKE surimi concoction manufactured to look like crab meat☹️☹️☹️. There’s even a processed vegetable patty (vegetables are meant to be eaten whole).Several of the noodles are also dried factory-made very starchy material (useless calories!!!).Why not add more fresh ingredients? Fresh slices of meats for example, and maybe be get rid of those various balls that are made fillers.

Food was great. The service... well they gotta work on that ?
Way too expensive for something you can just go down the street for at hunan bar. Food was mediocre, just toss in a pot with broth and boil. Pays by weight so don’t get a hard boiled egg lol like me. Like 30+$ for a bowl of ramen. Are you joking.

very disappointed. Their food make my stomach hurt for two days. The weight of food is much lighter after they cooked. My friends got lots of beef but when they come out, there are only few of them. Too expensive and food is not fresh.

Expensive since you have no other choices in Pittsburgh. You need to order over $20 to be full. The taste was okay though.
Delicious food and nice staff ??
