Mala Town

I'd like to start this off by saying, I am NOT good at handling spice. And the medium spice level, which is generally something I can handle, was so spicy, I immediately regretted it. That being said, the ingredients are very fresh and flavourful, and the soup base itself is also very tasty. I liked the "open bar" concept here, it's very unique for Canada. The staff were incredibly nice and very polite as well. The only thing I wasn't too fond of was the space inside. It's very small and can only hold about 10 people comfortably. But other than that, absolutely amazing place, truly a hidden gem!

Went almost Halloween day, the restaurant surprisingly clean than other Malatang restaurants which it became my favorite. I ordered mild spicy with lamb, IT WAS SO GOOD!Food: 5/5

Near concept where you customize your bo of noodles and options to add additional protein from the kitchen, but food was fairly pricy for what it was. They also auto-charge you 10% gratuity.Food: 3/5

Generally okay place. It feels like comfort food to me. If you like choosing your toppings, and making DIY noodle bowls, this would be your place for Mala, schezuan and Curry flavoured soups. The price is per kilogram of the ingredients you pick out in a silver bowl not sure if the weight of the silver bowl is taken to account already - maybe its used as a base price. Overall, I would recommend it for the experience. Vegetarian options: Peanut-friendly

The word Express on their name is a bit miss leading. It is not fast during lunch or dinner time but is not bad. It is a great concept that you pick your own food you like and the portion you prefer. It is a bit messy at the food selection station as food can drop into other container as people pick their own. Is also nice that you can choose your own spicy and num level. Water is not provided here but they are selling it at a reasonable price. Not much service here as they just cook the food in your bowl and give it to you. Is a bit pricy as the price you pay here you can get bigger portion at other noodles house

Amazing experience! I recommend the mild spicy level, anything beyond that is VERY spicy!Food: 5/5

Had this comfort food of mine as work lunch! Never disappointedFood: 5/5

A really good noodle soup place - lots of variety whether it is the noodle types, vegetables, meats or soup base. You pay according to the weight of your selected ingredients and extra for soup base. Fast service and it’s a clean and cozy dine-in space.

First time trying malatang and I was really good!! I love how you can choose your own ingredients to put in your noodle soup, the veggies were very fresh and the serving area was kept clean. The soup itself was delicious, a simple broth that compliments the veggies and meat well! Just beware to not go overboard with the self serve area...I got a bit too excited and my noodle soup was $30 LOL but I got a huge bowl so it was worth it . Definately coming back again

Good quality malatang self chosen ingredients gets cooked and served with or without a soup base. A bit on the pricier side rate per kg but this concept of by weight is a niche market. I got the medium non-numb spicy option and it was moderately spicy as expected. I would recommend people give it a try and see what they think of it themselves. Try all the different vegetables they have available! Lots of spicy and numb spicy levels. The place was well kept and decorated with natural wood colors. Nice staff.
