Spicy Mafia is perfect on a super cold Toronto winter. Opened just recently at the border of Markham and Scarborough, I gave Spicy Mafia a try around Christmas time. Spicy Mafia is not your AYCE hotpot you see everywhere, they do a la carte style which I was pretty happy with. For around 14$ per pot that comes with your choice of noodle, one meat side and a bowl of mixed toppings, it's a pretty good deal and enough food for one person. Soup bases are great here, and if you like spicy soup base, they have great selections as well. Only negative I would say about the a la carte is the meat, it only comes with 4 slices of SUPER THIN meat, which when you put them in the pot, they break apart easily.
I was recommended by one of the servers to try their signature Szechuan chicken which you can order as a side dish. When it came, it didn't look to appealing because of this green sauce thing on top of the chicken but I LOVED IT!! The Szechuan spicy is amazing and I love how it numbs your lips after eating it! I highly recommend!
