YGF Malatang in Milpitas

This is my first time here. The soup base is so delicious, drinkable soup base much better than other Malatang restaurants. The service attitude of the waiter is super good. Potato noodles are my favorite😍

Be cautious about the weight!!! They are trying to trick you! I had my food with 1.18lbs weight on the scale and then when I got the receipt, it showed 1.78lbs. And my daughters had the 1.57lbs with tomato soup (she had a lot of heavy weight fish balls, shells and eggs). You guys compare the pictures and have some sense of the weight difference. She already ate quite some and put one quail egg in my bowl when Im typing in the review. Very bad experience! I wont come back again!![Update] They seem to be very actively monitoring reviews on Yelp and other platforms. A few minutes after I posted my review. They came to me and offered me partial refund to remove my review. After I refused, a while later they showed me a video clip from WeChat to prove that no manual typing of the weight in their system. Maybe I’m wrong, but decided to leave the original review as is for you guys for precaution.

Join waitlist through the kiosk and wait to be called. Select your food into the bowl and weigh for the price at the register. Be seated to the table the staff assigned for you. A couple minutes the cooked bowl would be served! Delicious and fresh. Beef broth is tasty. Tomato one not bad only a little bit artificial. Will try the dry pot next time.

Monday night. Gets busy during peak dinner time. Enjoyed grabbing a bowl and tongs and choosing all the things that I like. In portions i choose. Sometimes you just want one beef ball. Everything looked fresh and was good. Just need to have parents not let little kids lean over and touch the food (was happening with the party in front of us). The tables are setup as 2 and 4. So it isn’t meant for large parties.You grab all you food and pay at the register and pick your broth. I picked the non spicy tomato. You need to be careful what you pick and how much. Your bowl can get heavy fast and you have a $40 bowl. They give you a number, you seat yourself and they bring your bowl to you once it’s cooked. It was super fast when we went. They gave only a few sauces. I like places with a lot of sauces to make your own recipe.I would come back.

Overall pretty good, the broth is decent and the choices of items like veggies and noodles also meat are supple. But the veggies were very under cooked. Like the bamboo shoot, yam, an potato. And it feels overpriced for what it is~~at this price range I rather eat hotpot~~

Good food and soup. Be careful of how much you put in your bowl.

I had a great time at the YGF Malatang. The broth was rich and flavorful, the meat was tender and fresh, and the vegetables were crisp and crunchy. The service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I would definitely highly recommend this place.

Love the food here. You can pick what you like and choose the spicy level. You can make your own dipping sauce too.Dry hotpot was good too. The cumin in the seasoning really leveled up the flavor

Gather a few good friends on the weekend for a malatang—a taste of happiness. The best MLT in SJ.

Very delicious, the beef bone soup was amazing!But surely pricy for the type of food.Long wait list
