About Zhangliang Spicy HotPot: The Streetfood Mala Tang hotpot Our Authentic Sichuan Food (Chengdu traditional food) At Zhangliang Spicy HotPot, we use the methods passed down in Sichuan, where it originated. The Malatang idea was formed from the hard workers on the Yangtze River in Sichuan. We stir fry over 20 different kinds of Chinese herbs and spices (including the prickly ash Sichuan pepper) before adding our Beef bone broth and our secret chilli oil mix before boiling it all together for 12 hours. This is how we create the most authentic Malatang soup base you know and love! We warmly welcome you and bring a piece of home here to Los Angeles.

4.2/5 ### Zhangliang Spicy Hotpot in Rowland Heights is a gem for anyone craving a quick, affordable, and satisfying hotpot experience, earning its solid 4.2/5 rating. Unlike some pricier chains, Zhangliang delivers a no-frills yet flavorful meal that hits all the right spots for spice lovers and hotpot enthusiasts alike. The setup is fast-paced—perfect for a lunch break or casual dinner—with a customizable menu that lets you pick your broth, proteins, veggies, and spice level. The spicy broth is a standout, packing a punch with numbing Sichuan peppercorns and a rich, savory depth that lingers without overwhelming. Ingredients feel fresh, from tender beef slices to crisp lotus root, and the portion sizes are generous for the price.
Compared to Boiling Point, Zhangliang edges out with better value and a more authentic mala flavor profile. The service is efficient, though it can feel rushed during peak hours, and the ambiance is lively but not fancy—think functional, bustling, and unpretentious. For under $20, you’re getting a steaming, customizable hotpot that’s leagues above fast-food alternatives. If you’re in Rowland Heights and need a quick hotpot fix, Zhangliang’s your spot—just bring a tolerance for heat and a love for bold flavors.

Actually don’t know 5 stars for service is appropriate since we kind of serve ourselves! Anyhow, it’s our first time here. We were kind of lost because there’s only one person behind the counter and he told us where you sit and that was pretty much it. We sat down and don’t know what to do. Then we see other people came in and started to get their own bowls you get food. Then we realize that that’s how it works. So you get a seat. Then go grab a bowl and start to fill up your bowl with the food you want like veggie, meat…etc. Then you give the bowl to him and he’ll weigh your bowl and ask you what kind of soup made you want. There are like 4 choices. I chose the basic bone soup and my wife had the tomato base. It’s going to be a lot of food if you fill up in your bowl. We couldn’t finish and had to bring home left over. We’ll definitely come back and this time we know exactly what we want. The beef is very good. So go for beef.
Overall the food was very tasty. We liked it very much. Very simple choices and not overwhelmed like some giant hot pot places where you don’t know what to get. It really worth a try if you like hot pot.

This is a place that theres a rawr food counter where you grab the food you want and give it to the server. They have different soup bases and whatever you chooses, they will use the soup bases ( 4-5 different options ) to cook the food. Pretty popular for the past few years in US that came from china.
This place locates in Diamond plaza. You have to drive all the way in to where Midoh, MeloMelo, The Alley boba is. There’s alot of parking here and underground parking toward the middle of the parking lot. It can get busy finding a spot nearby on nights because Chubby Cattle is a few stores away and its a popular spot for people to go.
The interior of this place is bright with orange and white wall. Once you get in, the left side is where you grab your food, the counter is straight ahead all the way inside.
I got the pork bone soup bases with mild spice level. This place only have spicy soup but mild spice is not that spicy because I’m someone that can’t handle spicy. Lots of different food to pick from. Soup is rich.
The server that assisted me doesn’t show alot of smile and when I asked him questions, he didnt seem that friendly. Not sure if he is just too bored / not enjoying his job / or thats how he is but you cannot be like that as customer service. You don’t need to please people but the way hows hes presented can really turn people away.
I wanted to give this place a 4 because the food and settings are all 4 but the server’s presentation had me make the decision of giving is a 3. Don’t get me wrong, he’s not mean or he said some bad things but
He needs to be aware of how he’s presenting himself.

Always come here for the bone broth soup. Great friendly service and free desert is a bonus!
Make sure to get the mild if you cant handle spice. the medium is pretty spicy.

I visited the store around 5 PM yesterday. We got the food very quickly; however, the dry pot taste had changed. Mala paste is not getting inside the veggies and meat, so we explained to the staff who wear glasses whose English is not good. We noticed the flavor changed very obviously, so I asked the chef had changed it or not. The staff said yes, so we asked the cashier guy to fix the 2 dried pots for us. They just added more paste and served it to us. The food was very salty and could not able to eat at all. I complained to the staff, but he do not take any action did not even say sorry. I am a regular customer and visit the place almost every other 2 weeks in a month. It is very disappointing, and I will not be coming back again.

Somewhat different style of hotpot, if it can be considered this. An apt description of what kind of restaurant this is, is more of a create your own bowl place, where you just grab the various toppings/veggies/noodles/beef in whatever magnitude and order you want.
However, note, there’s a procedure that you need to do, which is not written anywhere or how to do anything here. The staff either don’t really speak English, or they have a low mumble voice, either or, it’s very hard to communicate with them. They are also pretty rude and brash on the procedure of things and gets frustrated pretty quickly when you don’t understand what they’re saying.
You are supposed to sign up on the Yelp pad to get seated, though based on observation, they have no one coming out to seat anyone, even with tables empty. If you sign on the pad and find your own table, since you’ll need a place to sit after giving your order to them to cook, they’ll get pretty pissy.
Other than that, the food is priced at $13.99 per pound for soup bowls and $14.99 for bowl mix. What I find somewhat scummy is that the scale isn’t rated so your end price also includes the bowls weight, which itself isn’t light.
The food itself was alright, they had some interesting toppings, which I didn’t grab. Note that the Traditional Pork Bone broth has to come with some level of spice, which is suspicious, as if you had a traditional bone pork broth, you would want to let your clientele to taste the many hour simmered broth…unless they used powder to make their base and then use spicy oil to help cover that fact.
I’m not sure if I’ll come back here again, even though the food was alright, as I think you’ll have a better experience elsewhere.

The food was just okay, but the people there are very nice and helpful to very attentive. They really do their best to make sure that the customers are happy and comfortable. The food choices for the hot pot are really good with lots of vegetable, seafood and red meat, and noodle choices. The only problem with this place was the broth. The soup base, we both had the bone broth, was really lacking in flavor and just meh. We were pretty disappointed in this because we really had pretty high hopes for this one. Perhaps we should have tried a different type of broth.

I was very excited to try this place and it definitely lived up to my expectations! First, the array of toppings for your soup is amazing. They have almost anything you could think of when it comes to hot pot. The price isn’t too bad at $13.99 per pound (as of 12/11/23). The pork bone broth is creamy and delicious with the perfect spice. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice satisfying warm meal.
