Kungfu Malatang - Boston

I visited this restaurant before randomly, and it left a lasting impression on me so I came back only two days after. I missed the malatang I had in South Korea, and this restaurant is set up just like it! You can choose your own veggies, meat, noodles, etc as much as you’d like, and they weigh it by the pound. You can also choose the spice level; we got the medium, which wasn’t that spicy.We got a total of 3.4 pounds, which came out to about $47. The broth was very good and warm, although I was expecting more of a mala taste (it was a bit too faint). The service was fast, and the Korean server was incredibly kind and receptive to our needs. Overall, great service good food.

I am all time malatang lover. The food tastes great but get salty after eating for a while. I think the soup base contains sesame. The chili oil is making the soup to be salty and oily.Food: 4/5

The price is calculated by weight, it depends how much you get in your bowl for Malatang. There’s a rule that you have to get at least 1 pound. The server are nice a patient when explaining. You can also adjust the level of spice that suits you. I have my bowl 1.5 pounds, and it cause nearly 30(include tax and tip) but everyone have to give minimum 10 percent of tip if dine in. Nothing really surprise me, it just standard Malatang and a bit overpriced. I’m also confused about the meat section because there’s no label, so you may accidentally get the wrong protein you want. Overall, standard food, overpriced, good service.

We ordered Malatang and we love it. This is my first time dining in. I usually order on RICEPO but their portion can barely feed one person. It gets a bit salty in the end (maybe it’s because of their seasame/spicy oil sauce? Their service was great! (especially a server who speaks korean Food: 4/5

Fantastic. Service was super polite and helpful without being pushy at all. Delicious, super fresh ingredients and wide variety. I had no trouble at all eating vegan here, and my dining partner was just as satisfied. Pricing was great. Seating and atmosphere are low-key, but for a slurpy meal like Malatang, that’s just what I want. The medium spicy was PERFECT.
