We each had a delicious traditional soup with the original noodles and vegetarian/vegan toppings. The staff was very friendly and explained how and what to pick and we did not have to wait for a table. I tried level 2 spiciness, which was definitely challenging even though I like spice 😂. My boyfriend took level 1 and said it was just right. If I'm ever in that area again I'll come visit for another soup! 🤤👍

Pretty good mala for Japan. It is legit spicy from level 6 onwards. They have 10 spicy levels. Ate in and takeaway both before. Just wish that they would give more soup as I always order quite a bit.

Overall, I like this place. I eat here at least once a week and switch up the base of the soup broth between mala and tom yum. The tom yum is shoer flavorful but sometimes too salty. The service here is usually great but I don’t rate food based on friendliness of staff. I like my soup hot and a couple times my noodles weren’t fully cooked but when it is not too busy, they always serve it hot and fresh. I like the atmosphere, music and how easy it is to dine as a solo diner!

Food was delicious! There was some confusion with the orders and seats, but the staff was very friendly and quickly fixed it. Will definitely come back!

Visited because 麻辣湯 had a reputation for being delicious. There was a queue 10 minutes before opening. There were about 10 seats, so if your place in the queue was within that number, there was almost no wait. You choose your own ingredients and spiciness, then they cook it, but I wished they'd made the presentation a little more appetizing. I was disappointed because the presentation looked no different from a lunch I'd casually throw together myself and put in a bowl. It tasted good.
