I personally really like this place. When i first went in there was no one there because it was 3 pm in the afternoon. It was my day off so I decided to go out and get my munchies on today.
I was greeted very kindly and nicely by the lady at the front desk. We conversed for a bit and she asked me if it was my first time here. She recommended me to try the "ma la tang" selection for my first time and so that is what I went with. I got the medium spicy option, which is the middle spice level here.
I really like the food here. It's truly ma la, meaning numbing spicy in English. The numbing feeling comes from cracked peppercorns I believe. I got a combination of various offal, meat, veggies, etc. I got just over 0.2 kg of selection today and it came out to approximately 5 bucks without a drink. I didn't really need a drink because of the fact that there was already soup in the actual dish.
If you are someone who recently came from China or Asia or a North American native or someone who comes from anywhere, this is a place worth coming to. It doesn't matter if you are vegetarian or a meat lover, they will cater to your taste buds and preferences.
I wasn't even hungry when I came here but I left a satisfied customer!
