Mala House on 21st and Broadway is hands-down one of my favorite lunch spots in the city. I come here frequently, and every time, it’s consistently fantastic. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive— Chen and Cliff, especially, always go above and beyond to make every visit feel special. Shout out to both of them! The food is absolutely delicious and the service is lightning fast. Whatever you order, it comes out in no time, fresh and flavorful. I highly recommend their lunch special—it’s an incredible deal where you get a main dish, white or brown rice, and an appetizer. My go-to combo is the hot and sour soup with spring rolls to start (both are SO good), and for the main, the General Tso's chicken or orange chicken—both are packed with flavor and the portions are generous. The ambiance is also worth noting: the music is super relaxing, which makes it a great place to take a breather during a busy workday. I totally, absolutely love everything about this place. Keep it up, Mala House!

The salt and pepper lamb chops were absolutely delicious! I'd return just for this dish again but looking forward to trying other dishes next time. The staff were very attentive and very nice even though it was clearly busy. Can't wait to go back!

Overpriced, delivery driver tried to get over on me, Took a chance ordered lunch from them this afternoon small shrimp lo mein 2 shrimp rolls and bottle coke.. delivery driver came said little to nothing just snatched my 20 away no change or anything and I’m already confused because the order was more than expected I stood in the doorway to see if he was gonna pull off and he did lol called the store lady who took my order called him and he returned my receipt and I had to tell him there was supposed to be change and he says oh you want change? Wtf lol the shrimp rolls were disgusting had a dirty taste to them.. the lo mein i don’t know yet.. bad experience..

I ain’t gon hold you it’s one of the worst Chinese food spots I’ve ever had in life. Everything is bland and tasteless! The orange chicken is full of dough, no chicken is inside. They give you a lot of peppers and onions but no beef. The spring rolls were nasty. A complete waste of $50
