Growl Growl - New Style Hot Pot Bowls 新派麻辣烫

was a nice experience. price is 17.99 a pound and you can get a lot of stuff for that. i would say it’s actually cheap considering th quality of the food as well. got the thai coconut curry broth and tomato broth and pleasantly surprised by the amazing flavor. staff seemed a little short which was the only upset but they did their best and was quite attentive. make sure you ask for the free ice cream at the end. i think its request only. the ice jelly bar was very kind, small selection but still nice to have that refreshing dessert at the end. will come back with more people next time and definitely worth the try. also since it’s christmas eve they gave away a present to us (not much, a littl bag of sunflower planting seeds).

Lots of beef and lamb options. The seafood selection is way more generous than your average Mala Tang place—squid, crab, clams—and everything looked fresh. Plenty of fish balls too. Grabbed a little bit of everything. I went with Sichuan style, medium spice (pro tip: if you're not used to spicy food, stick with mild—medium was a bit intense for me ). My friend got Tom Yum—sour and spicy, a solid choice if you want flavor without the heat. They have various sparkling sodas—we picked grape. Pairs perfectly with the spicy broth.

I honestly loved this place. The staff seemed very friendly, and the place itself was cozy and beautiful. The food was really good. You choose the fresh ingredients yourself, they weigh them, and that becomes the price you pay. Then you choose the flavor of the broth. In my case, I picked the coconut. It was very tasty, although a bit spicy for me. Still, it was totally worth it and I enjoyed it a lot. For dessert, they give you a free refreshing jelly where you can add whatever toppings you like, and also an ice cream that can be either matcha or chocolate. The staff were really attentive and kind. Overall, it was a very good meal. 💕

I really enjoyed this place. The space feels warm and relaxing, the hanging fabric on the ceiling and all the plants make it super cozy. The staff were kind and checked in just the right amount without being pushy. I got the Japanese tomato broth hot pot, and it honestly so good. The soup tasted fresh and comforting, and there were lots of veggies and toppings. It felt like a meal that’s both hearty and not too heavy. The prices are fair, and they even offer little extras like jelly, which I thought was a really sweet bonus. I’d definitely come back！！！

I love the "build your own bowl" style—you pick your ingredients, they weigh it ($17.99/lb), and it comes out perfectly cooked. We tried the Szechuan Spicy Broth, which had a rich and numbing kick, and the Szechuan Sesame Dry Mix, a flavorful sesame-coated version that was incredibly addictive. To round out the meal, we added crispy fried chicken wings and a chicken cutlet—both perfectly crunchy and great for sharing. Drinks were a highlight too: the Thai Tea was creamy and classic, and the Passion Fruit Pineapple Sparkling was refreshingly fruity and bubbly
