Tons of food not able to eat it in one sitting and reheating it tastes the same while eating on my lunch break.

Chaopan Malatang was really good. Fresh ingredients, though the fish tofu was firmer than expected. Portion was reasonable for the price, and I liked being able to customize the amount of spice (all of it!) and garlic (most of it!). Would order again.

The dish came with white rice, I did not realize that because it was not mentioned on the menu so I bought two extra rice sides. I got medium spice it was not too hot so it was fine. My protein was beef and lamb, the meat is not marinated so I would definitely recommend getting some sort of sauce: Garlic sauce is minced garlic , (I felt this extra sauce was needed as a garlic lover otherwise you will not have garlic in the dish), sesame seed sauce was rich and pure w/no other ingredients added so you may want to add soy sauce or sugar to bring out the flavor. The fermented bean curd sauce was something I never had before it just tasted strange I did not like it. I would recommend soy*, garlic*, vinegar, Chile and sesame sauces. I felt the dish needed some pickled vegetables, the daikon is spicy but not pickled. The black fungus is a weird mushroom with a strange texture that requires some getting use to. I got the Japanese noodles because I personally don't like clear noodles.

Spicy Hot Pot 1.2 Lbs was okay, but not as spicy as traditional mala dry pot. Deep-Fried Squid Tentacles were pretty good!

Classic Spicy Dry Pot portion was small for the price but it tasted great.
