Zhangliang Malatang

Located in downtown San Mateo pretty close to the movie theater parking structure. And it is close to ritual tea, Molly Tea and other bubble tea places, very convenient. I like to come here to get my Malatang fix. The traditional pork bone soup is pretty good and it is not as expensive as the other place in downtown San Mateo. Still offers pretty good variety.

This is spot to go if you want something like hotpot but don't want to cook yourself but still get to choose your own ingredients. I go here when I don't want to do hotpot but want some soup and choosing my own ingredients. This location has a lot more ingredients to choose from compared to the many others malatangs I've been to. That means the things are usually fresh if they can hold such a large selection. And I do see the staff consistently checking on the ingredients which is important especially when there so many people hovering over it, even tho it eventually gets cooked. Service was good, quick cooked up my meal the place is decently new could add a little more vibe but maybe their style is for convenience quick in and out style eating. It's in a little blocked off striped which i

Great selection of ingredients and fast service! The mala xiang guo was slightly too oily for my preference but had great flavor. Everything was well cooked and at a reasonable price. I would come back again if I was in the area!

SOO YUMMY!! So much selection, they had all different kinds of fish, veggies, meats, and fishcakes that were so delicious! The broths were good and the sauce bar was awesome. So much food, it lasted me like 4 meals, and was $32.

This has been my most favorite Chinese restaurant. There are a few other Malatang places but this one is fresh, flavorful and the staff are always welcoming. My favorite soup is the bone soup. For someone who can’t eat spicy, this has a hint of spicy flavor yet light enough to handle. And the dry one(forgot the name) is also my favorite. Mostly important is its clean! Love this place and definitely recommended!
