First I'll start off with the quality of food. There is a decent selection of meats, veggies, noodles and fungi available to add to your soup. There are many options for seafood and non seafood lovers when it comes to the protein. They also have multiple different types of noodles including handmade ones, which are quire delicious and soft when cooked. You can choose between soup or dry, mild or spicy. Cost is based on weight, usually per 100g and can get a little expensive per person depending on what you add in. Cooking time is usually pretty quick depending on how busy they are and the wait staff service is reasonable. I have had a previous experience where I specifically added 3 pieces of a particular item (baby squid which is noticeable) and found they weren't present in my soup after eating half of it. They rectified the situation by adding in the missing ingredients to my soup, but it makes me question why they were missing in the first place and how many times I've paid for a specific weight and been short changed in the kitchen. The restaurant itself is nice and well set out, with an extra condiments table provided which has garlic, sauces, chilli and shallots to add to your soup in little serving bowls. Overall I enjoy this restaurant and their selections, but will be dubious about the servings in the future as I've caught them out once, but have felt previous times I haven't received all the items I have paid for as well. Hopefully it was a case of they were left in the bottom of the pot and ended up being an honest mistake.

Have eaten in this shop for more than 3 months (since December)and I witnessed the dramatical increasing of the price per 500g here. The quality and staff attitude are wonderful to me. Free water. However, if you go late at night, the sauces usually run out as well as napkins. The main reason why I will NEVER come back there is the unreasonable increase of price from $15 per 500 kg to $16.5 and $ 18 per 500g this week. This is insane and incredible. Malatang is my favorite food and I'm super loyal to this shop however I will find other food instead.

There is a decent selection of protein and veggies to select. They also have a variety of selection in noodles. One can either choose for dry or soup option as well as spice level. The ambience of restaurant is cozy and the wait staff are really good. Reasonable price in terms of weight. Wait time was reasonable. Overall a great experience

I got the fish in my malatang , and it has a strong smell like it was off.. and the fish ball was still cold. The soup base was very sour, I don’t know if it was the topping I choose or the soup in general. Spent $65 for the 3 people and definitely would not go back… sorry

My favourite Malatang in Brisbane! Excellent customer service, very clean and tidy, wonderful food, the soup just taste right. And the price is competitive. Highly recommended!

You can chose what’s ingredients you like and decided how spicy you wanted! When you wait for food, there is a TV to watch and some extra sauces you could add on the small bowl which you dipped with your food!! Very delicious even for 4 years-old kids!! (No spicy of course) Highly recommended!!!

Selection of ingredients is great. The variety of choices easily accommodate every dietary requirement (vegetarian, vegan, gluten free etc). Broth spice can be selected when paying. Have eaten here many times and never been disappointed!

we come here all the time and usually they are really good. maybe they changed owners whatsoever, for whatever reason, it was really disappointing when we came in today. we asked for mild but the food came really bland and barely had any taste. the food tasted like nothing. the soup was also really bland, tasted like some chilli sauce with water. a lot of the potatoes were still raw and uncooked, the konjac wires had absolutely no taste. these were the things that we usually get but they actually disappointed me today. although i agree that the store is much cleaner and hygienic now, but the food quality has gotten ridiculously worse. overall, i don’t think i’ll come back again.

We really enjoyed the food here every time we came. Also they will add new items to the menu from time to time. The dining environment is very clean. Staff are helpful and friendly. You can prepare your preferred sauce yourself!!! Highly recommended. You won’t be disappointed.

Great malatang. Creamy delicious soup. Dry option is just as awesome. New favourite malatang unlocked

h a n d s d o w n ✋😌🤚 the best malatang. first of all, location and vibes are amazing, super cosy almost secret underground restaurant. soup base is so good and usually the handmade noodles are amazing, last time I went though it seemed like they used pasta instead, hopefully that was a once off thing. staff are always very friendly and happy to help, our meat got taken out one day (I think they cook it seperate to avoid overcooking) and the worker v kindly went and cooked us more in replacement. out of all malas I would say this one is the fastest in service and probably more likely to get a table at due to it being hidden. I love how many options there are and how you can choose what you want and how much. great for a date or for a nice hot bowl of noodles.

The only non-spicy soup was a tomato based soup but still yummy.

Absolutely delicious! Excellent value for money as well

One of the cleaner malatangs place Brisbane. Good selection and decently priced.
