We love this place! We’ve been here a few times, and the food never disappoints us. The restaurant is very spacious with a large variety of food. The flavor is very authentic. Malatang tastes great and comes with plenty of meat and veggies. I highly recommend the brown sugar rice cakes.

This is my favorite Malatang place in Bay Area! The spicy dish is so authentic and tasty~! VERY BIG PORTION and fair price. The spicy boil dishes are very good, don't forget to try. We order the deep fried pork every time. The little sausages are so special, highly recommend to add on. $1.99 Brown sugar jelly cup is nice dessert at the end.

Food was good, but spicy! We loved the small snacks such as fried rice cake and sesame balls. Price is on the steeper side as I didn’t expect to pay $78 (dinner for two, tax and tip included) for Malatang. To be fair, this is not your typical cost-by-weight type of malatang, and their appetizer portion is quite big for the price. Overall, enjoyed our experience there.

Malatang is a street food/soup which is traditionally served really spicy and steaming hot, and you get to pick what gets added into the soup. At Old Street Chengpan Malatang you not only get to customize the soup by choosing the type of broth, the meats/proteins, and the veggies, but you also get to choose your spice levels. This selection process/customizing can be really fun and adds another layer to the experience. If you have never had a malatang before, I highly recommend it. It makes for a delicious shared experience with family and/or friends. Do try the very playful Brown Sugar Rice Cake, and if you are a little daring add a charming little Fish Roe Lucky Bag to your Mala Tang.

Ambiance - 5/5 Great experience wit unique decor, the dining area gives off the old street vibes for sure. When you walked in, immediately you are greeted with this nice Chinese decoration. Even their mugs are unique and give the old street vibes. Food - 5/5 we ordered some skewers, malatang and tomato beef brisket noodle soup. I said their malatang is the best and the highlight here. We ordered the mild spicy Cheng Du soup base that comes with less soup and serve on a big platter. The broth is clean yet super flavorful, tasty with a good strong hint of spice. The heat level was just nice for us as we get to enjoy the broth without the numbing/burning hot effect. Their fried tofu and quail eggs skewers are seasoned just nice and only complained is the portion is small as I was expecting more than 3pieces of tofu per skewers. But then again these are not the normal cold tofu (it's the better grade, chewy version). We ended with their rice cake. It's so good and addictive. I couldn't stop eating and have to hold myself back to save the last piece for my family. It's crunchy on the outside but super light and airy inside (unlike most other rice cakes which are usually fairly dense) And very soft and chewy. Service - 5/5 Very good, observant and attentive. They provided us with extra napkins without us having to ask for more. I will for sure come back again.
