Mala Kitchen

"Staff was great, super nice and attentive. Drinks were good, the friend sticks were ok so that’s were the start is missing. But great to drink and cool interior."

"Last weekend I visited this store. there was no restaurant that sells lamb skewers in Astoria. So while I was looking for it, I heard that it was newly opened . The food was so good. Their fish cake skewers have become my favorite. Mala Spicy Chicken was a good combination with steamed rice! I am willing to visit again :)"

"Preface: I haven’t left a review for a restaurant in years even when I love or hate them. However, I want people to be aware of this new place. Food: so salty and not authentic Schezuan. I thought small menu meant they specialized, but nope. Paid +$3 to add shrimp to udon dish and the shrimp were the size of my pinky! Service: Bad, server did not welcome us despite being the only dine-in customers. Did not light sternos for our grill for skewers until asked. This place is owned by Drunken Chicken which has gone downhill! Do not give this place business please. Let’s just say if you want affordable and yummy Schezuan food nearby just go to the similarly named place with the extra “La” in the title!"

"Was excited for a sichuan place to open in Astoria but the food is just disappointing. Ordered noodle and chicken wings and both are very salty. The noodle was so salty it’s not edible at all. Walked out hungry. Also menu is very small and the place still smells like cheap paint."

"This place just opened near me and my wife and I are enthusiastic about new restaurants, so of course we had to order from them. IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! Very authentic food and very attentive staff (adding a side of rice even when it was not an option on DoorDash). Can’t wait for them to expand the menu. I would order again everyday if I could!! Love it!"
