YGF Malatang 杨国福麻辣烫

Great experience! Simple concept simply pick your ingredients and pay by weight. After your bowl is weighted pick your broth. Super friendly staff that are helpful every step. Your hotpot is brought out and is delicious. For around $15. a very good value.

I recently visited YangGuoFu that it exceeded my expectations. Their bone soup was exceptional—rich, flavorful, and surprisingly healthy. The vegetables and meat were fresh and high-quality! The service was attentive and friendly, contributing to a pleasant dining atmosphere. The environment was inviting and comfortable. reasonable prices for such high quality food. It was a great experience, and I can’t wait to come back!

This is my third time coming here to eat this week! Today I tried spicy mix, and it was really delicious. I got to pick my favorite healthy vegetables and meats, and after they were cooked, they were topped with a flavorful sauce. It was not only tasty but also healthy. I will definitely come back next time and highly recommend it to everyone!

I wouldn’t recommend this place, especially for groups of six or more. There’s practically no service—everything is self-serve, and no one even came by to refill water. When asked about it, the owner claimed that weighing the food and bringing it to the table counted as “service.” While I understand the mandatory 18% service charge for larger groups (since that’s standard in many restaurants now), the owner’s attitude was off-putting. She seemed overly eager about the money, saying things like, “It’s allowed by law; no need to select a tip again, just pay quickly,” which felt rushed and unprofessional. Overall, it’s not a place I’d return to, and I hope others won’t have the same disappointing experience.

Hot pot concept of picking your own ingredients (meats, vegetables, noodles), paying by weight and choosing a base (beef soup, tomato soup, dry mix). Went for dinner on a Friday evening with no wait, although store was decently full. Really enjoyed the tomato soup. Food came out quick. Store is located in a busy shopping center with lots of other restaurants and dessert options nearby.
