Spicy Mafia opened up where the old HOPO (by Chatime) used to be. Same concept but everything comes on the side for you to add yourself instead of already being in the hot pot. All hot pots are $12.99-13.99 before adding additional toppings.
I enjoyed the dinner but felt the meat was lacking, I chose pork and they gave five thin slices, maybe thats why they offer the add-ons for additional cost. The rest of the toppings were decent. You get a choice of three different noodles or rice as your base and two sauces.
Their original spicy (2 chili pepper sign) is actually quite spicy, even for a spicy lover like myself. Their "mala" broth - an oily, spicy, and numbing Chinese sauce/broth is indeed ma la. Enjoyed it.
The service was so-so because they lost our order even though the server took the two papers away, but they are still in their soft opening stage, won't deduct any marks for that. They offered us free pop for wasting our time waiting. People who work there are quite nice.
Overall good value for a non-AYCE hot pot restaurant although wish more meat was given in the $12.99 base price without additional toppings. Also wish they didnt run out of a few meat and noodle options (they didnt have beef or rice noodles during Friday dinner hours). Lastly, if you want a better deal, visit them now while they still have their BOGO!
