Great food, great service, feel comfortable with hospitality
Overall a great experience. What made this experience great were the decor and the service staff. Food tasted good, but could be had at home (relatively simply) for a much more affordable price.Decor was unique and very enjoyable. I loved looking around while I waited/ate.Service was great. Our server was a male with glasses - I noticed he was super attentive to us and all of the other tables, rarely (if ever) idling. Lots of small details were paid attention to while serving us as well which was the cherry on top.Would return.
Best MaLaTang I’ve ever had in the states?Will come again for sure!
Trendy spot for malatang and dry pot along with other Sichuan dishes. Presentation is 100% and very photo worthy. Food is good but leans on the pricey side. I usually go on the weekends and have lucked out on missing the lunch rushes as each time I've been there the tables fill up quickly.Order through their 39miles website for fee-free pick up service. It's just their phone number .com - super easy to use! If you dine in, each table has a personalized QR code that leads to this website. You order dishes directly through it and the wait staff will bring everything straight to you. Dine in malatang bar you'll have to go up and service yourself and have it weighed and customized to your preference with the cashier. The bar is $14.95/lb and I find it hard to portion control myself each time! I've tried their soup (malatang) and dry pot versions and they're both good in flavor.Their "squirrel" fish (glanced fish in tomato sauce on their menu) is not the best I've had in the bay (try Little Sichuan for this dish) as the sauce is heavy on the sour side rather than perfectly balanced. The boiled beef in pepper is delicious and I prefer it over than in their malatang or dry pot versions.Overall, solid restaurant and the only one with the malatang bar concept on this side of the Bay from what I know. Great concept, good food.
Malaban is really authentic. Guobaotou needs long waiting, and it is customized to a more sweet taste, but it’s very crispy?? Overall like this restaurant as it’s somewhat authentic to my hometown flavor.
Long waiting time at 8 pm, the waiter told us 5 minutes but we waited half hour! The wait may be okay, but the food was just so-so and even bad. Malatang is okay, 锅包肉 is good, Malaban is bad...What's worse, very expensive and they charged me two rices instead of one which we confirmed with them with the number of rices!Not recommended if you are here for tasty food.
Not bad
Best mala tang in the Bay Area!
Malatang tastes average yet authentic. The service is awesome!
During pandemic, they collaborated with Weee, so now can order it from Weee platform, and delivery to SF. The dishes are good, but a bit salty.
