Reviews
When you enter the restaurant, you will see an array of meats, noodles, and vegetables. You grab a bowl, and you fill it up with anything you like. Everything is paid by weight. My favorite things to add to my bowl are beef, imitation crab, fish balls, spam, quail eggs, and every vegetable possible, aha. I also love the fresh noodles you can add! In addition, there’s a sauce bar. I always get sesame sauce, chili oil, and a ton of garlic. Yum!
There are different types of soups/stir fry available, but my favorite is the Ma La Xiang Guo (Spicy Numbing Stir-fry Pot). To me, it tastes better than normal hot pot. My favorite!
There was nowhere to park, I was forced to pay two blocks down the road to park my car. They charge $15 a pound and I swear they weighed the bowl or something without zeroing the scale. Very little food, somehow came out to 2 pounds. It was $30 per person, so $60, plus tax. Rice was a $1 upcharge. They charge you an additional fee if you want to pay with a credit card (pass the expense off on the consumer). Cash payment will lower your bill for obvious reasons. They still ask for a tip if you pay with a credit card on top of all the additional charges.
The service here amounts to responding to a vibrating token, then you go get your food at the front counter. When you are done eating, you carry your dishes and place them into a receptacle that houses them. The total bill for 2 bowls was almost $70. This is the only restaurant I’ve been to where I lost my appetite in disappointment at purchase. The value here is lacking.
Also, when you are picking your food, you use tongs to touch various red meats and fish, then you use the same tongs to touch vegetables and tofu later on. There is cross contamination galore and you will definitely experience the results later on when you make it to the bathroom. I will never return to this restaurant ever again in my life.
Several months ago, when I first found out the plastic in my food, they didn’t even ask me for a refund, but they just asked me to make it again. Ok, I assumed that mistakes can happen sometimes. Second time, I almost cracked my molar tooth. I was very upset and asked for a refund or whatever, the lady infront of the cashier handed me two bottles of their soda to retrieve my feelings and refunded me with a cash. I didn’t think it was still right, since it was the same exact plastic that was inside the food few months ago and now. I talked with the owner and he promised me to compensate the cost for the dental fee but he never answered my text or call.
I think the owner will know why I would leave the review, cuz you didn’t respond to my text accordingly at the timely matter. I know this owner owns other places in green st, so be aware. I am just amazed how this store would not even take care and just hand out customers to consume unsafe foods.
I opted for this mala xiang guo and the flavors were absolutely fantastic. The blend of spices and seasonings was spot-on, creating a delightful explosion of flavors with every bite. The ingredients were fresh and of high quality, cooked to perfection. Solid 5 out of 5
