Spotted this place and the signage and vibes bewitched me into coming in. The build-your-own bowl was great, and they charge a flat price for it. (Lesson learned, next time I’m filling my bowl up to the brim.) Ooh right, the rice is free too. We got one, but you can get free rice per each bowl. So worth your money! The veggies and stuff there are pretty fresh, and the noodles (no matter what kind you choose) are all so chewy! It did take a little while for my bowl to arrive, but the wait was definitely worth it since the soup was warm and comforting. Service is very nice, and the background music is relaxing. Stop by here and give this place a try!

I had a great experience dining at this mala tang restaurant. The food was delicious and fresh, but what really made my visit special was the excellent service from Candice. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment I walked in.

Delicious and crazy affordable! We loved both the stir fry and noodle soup versions. Very authentic and spicy in the best way possible.

this is genuinely one of the best dry pot ive ever had.. and i am saying this as someone who is visiting providence from nyc and eats dry pot very often in flushing. i have gotten dry pot twice in the past 4 days of being in providence that’s how good it is. this place is more worth if you go in person and choose your toppings (it’s a flat fee, NOT based on weight). i get level 2 spicy and it’s pretty standard mala spicy. it’s a little pricey for a student’s budget (comes out to ~$20) but it’s technically a good deal cus it’s not based on weight (which can go upwards of $30 usually)
im honestly just posting this review because this place has pretty low overall ratings but most of the lower ratings seem to be from people who don’t/can’t eat mala, so disclaimer!! the flavor is genuine and good!!!

I tried this place for the first time after living in walking distance for the past 4 months. At first the lay out was a bit confusing, I’m not used to their self bowl creation method but the staff was extremely helpful and explained how everything worked.
The restaurant is well decorated and is a wonderful place to grab food with friends or solo. The food was amazing, I really enjoyed my bowl and I can’t wait to go back!
Overall, I had a very positive experience here, and thought it was fairly priced. Would recommend!

This experience was AMAZING! Seriously recommended!! My daughter and I sat down here for a nice lunch and we are so pleased. Food was awesome. You can make your own noodles to your preference here. The lady working here made us feel so welcome. The atmosphere is cute. Asian merch and music. We loved this restaurant. If you are in Providence, I recommend you to stop by!

I don’t understand the low rating from people. This is a very self explanatory, DIY, malatang/mala xiang guo joint. If anything, this is probably the easiest and most hassle free experience.
To the people who are complaining about it being overpriced, bad service, or confusing. There are signs showing you what to do, you can fill up your bowl to the brim; nothing other than the bowl size is stopping you from making this “overpriced” unless you add in a literal pound of meat. The flavors of the food were great along with the speed of how fast the food was made.
I’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone who likes sichuan or hotpot style of food. Coming back again as a regular.
EDIT: I visited 10/2 and everything has changed. While it was 17.99 flat for a bowl and you could fill it up all the way without additional charge other than the meat for 2.99 each serving; they have changed it to 14.99/LB flat including meat and it has gotten way more expensive compared to how it was before. I’d pay around 25 dollars for my previous bowl as I’d also add 2 servings of protein but today I paid 35 dollars for less food. This model will have me coming way less often now as it’s gotten more expensive for less.
