WOK BAR

"Great service. Mala was a bit strong and salty for me."

"One my go to for mala soup. I think I tried most of mala place in Ktown, and I think this place has best ingredients with good flavor. However I feel like their price increase recently is downfall With this much price, Id rather go other place. Also didnt know they had minimum weight. Plus I feel like they cook longer than before or cook changed or something. Noodles were all over cooked. Small things made me put less stars Their service is very nice though. Kind and fast. Clean too. The ingredient bar is kept clean also which is a must. Im still coming back, I always thought this place was 5 star. Hopefully next time I come back I can bring this back up"

"A friend from Korea wanted to eat malatang, apparently it’s really popular in Korea. I believe she ordered level 3 in spiciness and wholly moley it was like fire in my mouth!!! I love spicy food so I was very surprised. The food was good, just be cautious on which level you choose."

"I usually don't like malatang (that Chinese numbing spice) but this place actually pretty good. You can choose to do dry or wet (soup based) - and you pay by weight. They have a little section where you load up your bowl with whatever you want and you just hand it over to the counter and they'll weigh it, charge you, and bring it out. Load this thing up with meat and fishballs! Seating won't accommodate more than four people and space is a little bit tight. Parking is a little rough - they have a tiny lot and valet at certain hours."

"It’s very interesting and amazing to have a Korean owned Chinese sichuan spicy place in this neighborhood:) I’m loving it! The taste is very good and almost authentic to what I normally have in China. You walk into the restaurant, grab the bowl and pick the fresh ingredients from the bar, then you can pick how spicy (1-4) you want in the dry pot or soup pot. I wish they could also provide the variations of the pepper corns since the numbness is a crucial flavor in Sichuan spicy cuisine. Haha One thing a bit confusing for me is that they call themselves WOK BAR spicy hot pot, but it’s not the traditional Chinese hot pot dining experience. Anyways, I am super excited about this place near my home, and will definitely come back soon!"
