I have ordered 1053g of food-$38. Taste is ok. I do like the scrambled egg with it. The whole portion of lotus root I took is definitely not the portion of chips I get after frying. This is something I am doubtful 🤔. For this chips sliced …

We received another persons order but the staff were very friendly and efficient in changing us a new bowl. Food is good and consistent as always, it was really spicy and maybe it’s just us but the seat we were at was pretty hot haha. Would highly recommend! Thank you to the staff that helped us out.

Definitely a mala pace not to be missed. Food is so good and flavorful. Potato is sliced thin like a potato chips, it adds another level to the mala noodles, the extra crunch.
