Rahongbu ma la tang

I came upon this place when I was craving Mala and I was not disappointed when I went it. I was prepared for that typical oily/greasy feel when I went inside but it was so clean and well-kept. The process of placing an order was also very no-nonsense, which I prefer. I got the soup and my partner got the dry, and I liked his better 😛

This is a cozy and clean spot for Korean-style malatang. It’s priced by weight, and you get to choose your ingredients and spice level, with optional beef or lamb add-ons. The process is easy and mostly self-serve. They also offer dry pot. If coming here, you must try their guaboro!

I tried both their Malatang and Mala stir fry. I definitely liked the tang better that stir fry. The nuttiness of the soup blended so well with the spices! I also tried their 꿔바로우 and it was delicious! Nothing that I could really compare it to. Can’t wait to go back!!

Food is good but its so expensive. Ive been here multiple times to get takeout. I always get the malasangguo (dry hotpot). They have a fridge where you use tongs to choose all your veggies/meats. I fill up at least half of the large bowl they provide but when all the ingredients are cooked, it seems so little? I love tripe and so everytime i come here, i make sure to load up on that but when i get home, it seems like theres only 5 pieces in the container. Not sure where they all disappeared to or if theyre charging people and then taking majority of the ingredients out in the kitchen to scam people. They charge your ingredients based on weight and tell me how this tiny little container (see attached picture) costs $30?! Its the size of those regular size takeout noodle bowls.

I ordered from this place today and went to pick up the food at their restaurant. When I got there I saw add ons that I did not add and I told them very politely of the situation. It was something very simple about an add on I did not add and they wouldn’t try to work with me about it and tried to bring hell to the customer. They kept on arguing with me and took it to the next level. They took my food to the back in the kitchen and opened it up and looked like they did something to the food and took a lot of stuff out. It looked like they tampered with the food heavy and I even asked them you didn’t spit in my food did you because that’s what it looked like they were doing in the back. Why did they have to take my food to the back and open it up?? When I got home and opened it up there was barely any meat in the meat dishes I ordered. I ordered a soup and it did not taste right at all. Minutes after eating the food I had a very bad stomache ache got diarrhea and vomit. I couldn’t believe any restaurant would do something like this. This was my worst restaurant experience ever.
