Hotpot (Malatang)is a famous Chinese street food originating from Sichuan. Customers choose meats, vegetables, noodles, and tofu, which are then cooked in a boiling, spicy, numbing broth flavored with Sichuan peppercorns and chili. It is affordable, customizable, and loved for its bold, mouth-tingling taste and lively dining experience.

My friend and I ate here on a Saturday afternoon. The weather was fair and there are options for indoor and outdoor dining. There are plenty of ingredients to choose from: bok choy, fish balls, imitation crab sticks, fish cakes, tofu, ramen and/or egg noodles. The ingredients look fresh and well-maintained. Once you are finished choosing your ingredients on a large bowl, the cashier will have it weighed and you’ll choose your preferred broth on the menu. I opted for chicken broth and chose it to be not spicy. The total price varies per weight, but it’s worth it especially if you’re craving authentic hot-pot like soup. Once you finish paying, they’ll lend you a buzzer and it will beep once your order is ready.
We only waited for less than 10 minutes, and I was impressed with the presentation and service. I added some green onions on top, right before eating it outside. The broth has an umami flavor, while the egg noodles and vegetables I chose were not overcooked. I also love the chewiness of the fish balls and tofu. I’ll be back again if I’m craving some Fast Hot Pot by UC Irvine.

Once I got my food, I was like wow! If no one had ever told me, I’d have thought it was the Year of the Pig coming up, because then why this looks so much like the pig feed . This is totally an art The art of how easy is to make money out of costumers pocket. You just put regular sesame sauce on the boiled food, and give a big name “Beijing” then you can trick people. Love it love it love it

I really like this restaurant. They offer a wide variety of ingredients and several soup bases to choose from. The beef bone broth is my favorite.

It appeared there were only 2 people working while we dined. This location still has the prior Ramen tenant name on the building but it is hot pot. Walk in and grab a bowl and tongs to select your items. The doors were not super clean and left open- probably because there were parties ahead of us. They were out of several vegetables and meat so we had to ask them to restock. There is a small sauce bar next to the for-sale drinks display. You get to the counter and select your broth and pay by weight. I did not notice that the scale was tared to the weight of the plastic bowl. We ordered 3 bowls and each bowl is given a number. However they were done around the same time- took maybe 10 minutes. Everything tasted okay. On our way out we noticed that the door said 2 am for closing time but definitely looked like they were about to close when we left around 9 pm. They should consider updating their operating hours on their storefront.

I used to come here alot. Since that nice lady at the cashier left, the quality has not been the same. Today I ordered a 32 dollars dry pot. It was extremely salty, ended up leaving half of the portion. Told the new guy at the cashier that it is really salty, maybe check with the chef to avoid other customers’ complaints. He straight up just ignored it
Hopefully next time it would be better or at least the cashier check with the chef if customer has any comment on the food

The old customers of this restaurant. The food is very good, the taste is very good! Fried chicken is delicious! Strong Amway! The important thing is to repeat three times: really delicious and delicious. In addition, the restaurant has a barbecue and is open until two o’clock in the morning! Come and try it!

Nothing “fast” about this fast hot pot. Nearly 45 minutes to wait for food. Might as well go to a regular restaurant and get some actual service with the meal.
A decent portion is $15-20 and there are plenty of other options in the area around that price. Avoid unless you want to turn a quick bite into a 2-hour meal.

This was a great spot to eat, a large bowl was $27 and it was enough for 2 people. The angus beef was my favorite meat, and the quail eggs were great.
