Mala Town 自选麻辣烫 in Stuttgart

One of the best "home made favor" spots in the city. The food was on top and the staff was really nice and patient. The restaurant itself is really small (micro-small) so it's always better to have that in mind, specially is you want big groups. But the food is definitely worth it

Delicious food, not the most comfortable place to sit but okay! :)

The food is truly wonderful; even after five visits, it doesn't get boring. Prices are perfectly reasonable; it's just a matter of mixed costs. Seating is very limited, especially when it's too cold outside, so you should expect to wait, as there are only about eight seats.

That was a wonderful dining experience. Excellent food, highly recommended.

Very, very tasty and a good, fresh selection! We'll definitely be back.

The best cure for homesick 😋. So delicious and authentic.

It was extremely cramped inside. There were two of us. We were moved to a larger table because our trays didn't even fit on the table. They then sent us to another table. A large portion of the meat selection simply wasn't refilled... it's deteriorated dramatically.

It was very tasty and there is a large selection.

The food was delicious. They deserve more customers. As a Turkish-Japanese person, it was great 👽

This is definitely not the cheapest restaurant, but you can put together the bowl completely yourself. Besides that, it's the best Asian food I've ever eaten, after local Asian. HUGE recommendation

It's delicious, the peppercorns are very fragrant, and the bamboo shoots are especially delicious.

Very delicious food! The soups are freshly cooked every day and are truly delicious. The vegetables and meat are very fresh. Highly recommended.

The food is very tasty, but it gets expensive quickly. Chilled drinks are available upon request. The tomato broth was too sour for me, but the bones are delicious. No waiting time :)

No need to explain it is too bad.

The soup selection is truly diverse, and there are also plenty of options when it comes to ingredients. Of particular note is that there are three different vegetarian soups – something you rarely find. The staff is also very friendly and helpful.

I love soups and was very satisfied there. The selection is a bit smaller than in Reutlingen (where I had mala for the first time), but it's sufficient for a varied and delicious meal! Thank you for the little extra, because they didn't have the fermented eggs there 🙏🏻

It definitely tasted okay, unfortunately, even the spiciest version wasn't spicy at all. The selection of ingredients for the soup is very large, but the soup itself was a bit underwhelming. It's definitely healthy and better than other fast food. The price for two people, with well-filled bowls, is just over €60.

The place is interesting, with calm service, typical of the local culture. The food is authentic: you choose the ingredients, they are weighed, and the broth is added to your desired spiciness. Unfortunately, both times we've been here, we've had significant intestinal problems. I believe there's something wrong with the washing of the vegetables or the food preservation. Please check and fix it. I love your restaurant and would love to continue coming. Thank you.

You have to order it with chili instead of mala to get mala tang! I didn't know and ordered mala, so I got mala ban ㅠㅠ The mala ban was tasty, but it had a lot of peanut sauce in it, so it was greasy and heavy.

Excellent malatang in stuttgart. You can choose what you want from vegetables to meats to noodles and then customize the base you want your food cooked with - I like their original malatang base the best (this comes without a broth). They don't take reservation and can be quite popular, especially on weekends, so be prepared for a little wait as seating is a bit limited.

Good ingredients for mixing and matching. The broths are super delicious.

We tried this concept for the first time. It was super delicious, the service was friendly, and everything was prepared fresh and quickly.

A short break in the Far East. Highly recommended. Extremely friendly staff.

The idea is great: Using a large bowl, you can assemble your favorite fresh vegetables/meat/noodles from a larger refrigerator into a soup or a regular main course. You can then further refine your finished soup with various toppings (spring onions, fried onions, sesame seeds, tahini, etc.). The taste is excellent. I only found it a real shame that we arrived quite punctually/early, but the refrigerator didn't offer much choice. When I visited Mala Town two weeks ago, there wasn't even any bok choy, bean sprouts, carrots, zucchini, or even mushrooms – which are the absolute basics of a soup. Plus, there weren't any seats left inside. Unfortunately, it had also rained that day. Luckily, we were able to snag a table under the umbrellas and dine on our warm soup outside. I really like the concept. The location is just a bit shabby. I'm definitely not convinced. I'll only order takeaway in the future.

Very tasty food, mixed as a soup according to customer's wishes. The slightly spicy sauce is definitely a bit hot. Very friendly staff.

"Here is not Stuttgart, here is Mala Town" is what you see once you enter. So true! Such fun concept: you grab a bowl, pick your own fresh ingredients from the fridge (noodles, veggies, meats, sea food, tofu – all super fresh), then choose a broth. I went for the mushroom one – so good in the end! You pay by weight, and there's a sauce station to mix your own combo. We ate outside and loved it. Unique, tasty, and definitely not your average Stuttgart lunch spot. Not our first time here and will be back again, for sure!

It was really tasty, with a lot of choice.

what i love: - foods are constantly good here, always taste the same. - i love mushroom soup base, flavour is very gentle and decent. - im addicted to the food here apparently 😭 i recommended this to many friends and all of them fell in love with it. cons: - small space, which leads to long wait time and it is usually crowded so be prepared that u might have to wait 15-20’ before coming in

I'd love to give it 4.5 stars. The restaurant is cute, and the selection is good! The broths, especially the bone broth and mushroom broth, aren't strong enough for me. I've seen completely different broths from nearby restaurants that have a lot more flavor. The price/performance ratio is absolutely okay; unfortunately, the drinks are noticeably too warm. The seating is decent, but rather simple. I'd still happily come back, even if it's not quite perfect.

If you want to eat worms, come here. She said they were vegetables, and I didn't get my money back. Disgusting!!!

The food is incredibly delicious, and the wait times are no different from other restaurants. The space is very small, but we've always found a place to sit. It has its own charm and isn't your run-of-the-mill modern sushi shop offering 300 dishes. Simple and delicious. We won't go anywhere else for ramen.

Nice small place. Feels like you are back in China. Tasty as much as you are good to mix it.

Very, very cool shop, you can put your own food together and the broths are also very tasty

We arrived for lunch just after it was open. The place inside was rather small. But they have more tables outside. Delicious malatang with fresh ingredients and plenty of choices. The classic broth was tasty. They provided 2 different chili sauces, the Chinese with sesame and the spicy south east Asian one. The older lady who cooks was friendly and enthusiastic.

A really great little shop with a special concept. You choose your desired ingredients from a well-stocked cooling shelf, from which a fresh soup is then prepared. The taste is absolutely top – and all at a very fair price. It's a bit cramped inside, but when the weather is good there is also comfortable seating outside. Rather inconspicuous from the outside, but definitely a big recommendation!

I would definitely recommend the restaurant because the people are very polite and nice. Good service and concentration!

Super super delicious! I can highly recommend the mushroom broth for mushroom lovers. Drink could be a little better chilled. Very nice places outside in the sun. Quiet street, so almost no annoying traffic. Price-wise, it's also very affordable for ramen. ;)

Very good malatang. We were very satisfied and, above all, returned full and happy

We went there twice and both times there was something in our soup that we didn't put in. One time it was an indefinable ball/core, another time it was a surimi stick. Especially considering that we're vegetarian, that's really not possible... Otherwise it was tasty and there is a lot to choose from. Unfortunately it's very narrow and not comfortable inside, but you can sit nicer outside.

Great little restaurant with very authentic food. The selection of ingredients for the soup is very good, and there are plenty of toppings as well. We'll definitely be back again. 😊

I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone with an authentic Asian craving. The mala spice broth (Sehr scharf version) is an asian spicy dream. Not overwhelmingly spicy. The selection of toppings and meat and vegetables is also incredible

Everything written. Everything said. It's simply delicious. DIY soups. Top selection. Top quality.

The taste is great and the boss is very handsome

Just perfect - feels like being in China ;)

I enjoyed it very much! Lots of ingredients to add to your soup and good selection of toppings and sauces for dipping. The employee was super friendly, the concept was new and I loved it. Small restaurant that has charm due to the concept and atmosphere. You need to bring some time with you as it may take some time to get a place. Highly recommended :)

Although there are many new Mala places now in the city, this is still my favorite one. But unfortunately they changed the fish cake cube. Hopefully they bring back the original fish cake cube.

This was absolutely delicious! Such a comforting experience. There's no limit for the ingredients you want to add in your bowl. And multiple broths to choose from! I love spicy food, and I ate the chilli broth, level 2 of spice and it was IT!!! Specially in this cold, it hits the spot! However if you don't deal well with the spice, even the level 1 might be a bit too spicy for you. I wish there could be a bit more variety of meat, however the veggies and variety of tofu makes up for it! I super recommend. The price is actually super worth it for the amount you eat and you still can pack it to go in case you can't finish your meal right at the spot! The place is tiny, so if it's full, it can be a bit loud, and the wait might take a while, so make sure to arrive a bit earlier. Thank you for the food! I will be coming back! + 2 fans from Portugal. 🌟🫶

Certainly the best restaurant for Mala-Tang in Stuttgart! Unfortunately it's a bit small shop, but very tasty and authentic. Recommended!

very tasty & super nice staff :)

Very delicious food, fresh and a great choice of ingredients, original, a cozy place and atmosphere, clean as well as very friendly people running it.

So so delicious food at good prices. Everything fresh and very friendly staff!! Over and over again

Really tasty and a good selection!

always super tasty and card payment possible

It tastes really tasty but the broth was a bit too small. Otherwise small and cozy. :)

In the basement of a house you can collect various ingredients from the refrigerated counter in a bowl. Then choose the soups from mild to spicy. Food was delicious and almost identical to Beijing. The audience is young, dynamic and colorful. Everything is a bit cramped, but worth a visit.

Very small but good Malatang shop. Good for dates or meeting friends because you have something to do

Really very tasty soups. The broths in particular are very convincing because they have such a strong taste. There is also no shortage of ingredients and the service is very friendly. However, the restaurant is so small and cramped that you can hardly get a seat (just wait) and you can hardly move around inside. Really not suitable for strollers etc. Otherwise great and authentic!

A small but fine restaurant where you can put together your own soup. You get a bowl into which you fill fresh ingredients from two cooling shelves according to your personal preference. You hand the bowl over at the counter, choose a broth and then pay based on the weight of the ingredients (excluding broth). The bowl goes into the kitchen, where the soup is finished being prepared. The beeper you were given earlier tells you when the soup is ready. You can then finish the soup with various toppings (garlic oil, spring onions, etc.) and then enjoy it (but be careful, the soup is very hot!). The restaurant is very small, I think I only saw 4 small tables. There are 4 more seats at the bar. That's why you should be there early after opening or accept longer waiting times. But the wait is definitely worth it. If you can't make your soup, you can take the rest with you for €0.50 for packaging. Or you can order the soup to go from the start.

Very good but I have to wait a long time

The environment is very good, just like in a late-night canteen. The spicy hotpot is delicious, I like it very much. It is slightly spicy but not very spicy. The mushroom soup is very healthy. The service is very good. You must eat the crispy pork! The freshly fried ones are delicious, and there are also chicken nuggets! Very fragrant! There is also my favorite Jiaduobao herbal tea!

They are also open today on Christmas Day. They are so user-friendly and the service is very good. They provide patient and gentle guidance throughout the process. I commend the cashier lady (who also wore a cute hat) because the freshly fried crispy pork and chicken nuggets are still delicious. We were given a small plate, which made us feel very warm in a foreign country! I ordered the mushroom-flavored Malatang. The snack table was also very clean. The snacks included millet, spicy oil, chili, garlic, green onions, etc. The fried onions and peanuts were very delicious and highly recommended (it’s free). I forgot to take pictures after eating, haha, I took two pictures at the door! Don't waste my beautiful cheongsam

I tried Mala Tang (Chili special) at level 2 and it wasn't spicy at all, and Mala Xianggu (Mala mix) was normal spicy, but it tasted like it was mixed with 90% peanut sauce and 10% chili oil. It tastes more spicy than the malatang and mala xiangguo I had in Korea. I wish it was a little spicier. Overall, the taste itself is not bad.

Authentic Chinese food prepared by authentic chinese people

Very nice staff and delicious food to recommend ❤️

I ordered ramen with green pepper broth, excellent!

Delicious food!! And beautiful place! A little small inside for when it's cold! But, recommended!!

Is it because I am too good at cooking that I feel like this spicy mix is ​​not that delicious? Mainly it's a bit salty and not very fragrant. In addition, the place is really small, so remember to go in advance for meals

The sitting arrangement has limited capacity. Make sure to have enough spare time if you want to eat here.

Very tasty and healthy food. The price is also okay. I'm looking forward to next time. Thanks!

The location is small and I always take it out every time I come here, but it is really delicious and you won’t feel uncomfortable eating it at all. The ingredients are fresh enough and the price is really affordable. Wish business is prosperous☺️

Really great idea and really tasty. Very small so you might want to consider whether you don't want to take it with you. Next time I will definitely try this because they have such sweet take away options.

Malatang without soup is very very good!!

Very tasty food. I always go there.

Today was a bad experience for me. My wife and I have been here many times but this place is terrible, the tomato soup is very little and cold, even though we were asked to add tomato soup and warm it up, the variety is not much.

Mala Town is a great tip for anyone who wants to put together their own soup. We arrived around 6:30 p.m. It was already busy at the time, which is why some of the ingredients were no longer available. What pleasantly surprised us is that the ingredients are not refilled, so you have the feeling that everything is really fresh. There is also a great selection of broths. The toppings were great too. We'd love to come back.

There is too little meat to choose from, otherwise it is quite satisfactory, suitable for those who like vegetarian food. Great place to have lunch.

Super delicious soup that you can put together yourself. But be careful, mine cost over 22 EUR. But it was really good. Shop is very very small inside.

This is really amazing, super tasty and everything is fresh. The shop is quite small and cramped.

Delicious: but be careful of the slimy noodles... I didn't have it, but my companion... The consistency was “exotic”

Very tasty and sweet concept!! I paid around €11 for a large bowl

The selection of fresh ingredients for the soups is very good, and the service was friendly and quick. I had a vegetarian mushroom soup that I was very happy with. It would be nice if there were vegan broths in the future. Since there are only a few tables, you may have to wait a bit in the evening. However, we had no problems at lunchtime. Overall, I am very satisfied and will definitely come back.

Super tasty, you can put together the ingredients for the soup yourself.

Really cute little shop. There are a few tables outside, but there aren't many seats inside. You can put everything together according to your taste and if it doesn't taste good it's your own fault 🤣 the spicy broth isn't very spicy. But it's all a matter of opinion. Definitely recommended, eating is also super quick. The beeping of the pager also lets you know when the food is ready.

Best best bestest food I have ever eaten in Germany ! So perfectly delicious 🤤

It's a shame, I would have expected that at least the ramen was homemade. I had the normal broth and I can also buy all the other ingredients 1:1 in the Asian shop. Friendly staff. At that price I'd rather be served and get more for my money.

Flavorful bone broth that perfectly complements the customizable ingredients. The selection is vast—fresh veggies, meats, and a variety of noodles. Great spot for malatang lovers!

Very small restaurant if there is no outdoor area. The service is quick and very nice. To-go is also available. Great selection of ingredients for the Malatang soup! I had chilli broth, which was delicious. Great selection of extra toppings There is also a small selection of drinks.

Super nice service! Delicious and high quality food and appropriate selection. Very, very big recommendation. I hope you get even bigger :)

Good at upselling. Not good in taste

It's great that there is such a small restaurant. There were some options for meat and vegetable side as well as dipping sauce on site. To me it looks like ramen, sukiyaki or hotpot, but great idea.

Small shop with a cool idea. You build your own ramen bowl like Lego, hence a Lego ramen. Was with the boys and had us very full. But you pay a lot, unless you're a saver and smarter than me. I'll be honest, I wanted to fill the thing full of my favorite ingredients and I didn't care about the price. Still highly recommended and delicious.

So delicious, really love that you choose all your own ingredients, the staff are friendly. It is quite expensive, but worth it!

Great place with extraordinarly delicious food

I come every time and it’s so good

Food is very tasty and the self-service concept is very funny. A must for every frame fan! Unfortunately we couldn't finish our portions because it's a lot more than you think 😅 Only 3 stars for service purely because of the self-service concept

Very tasty authentic food, unfortunately expensive, 2 soups with meat noodles and a small drink for around €45

Nice authentic place to eat, food taste very good. Place is small but cozy.

The food is very tasty because you can put it together exactly how you like it, there is a large selection of pasta, vegetables, fish and meat. There was also tofu and fried tofu. The service was very friendly and helped us since it was our first time there. There was a small selection of soft drinks. In addition to the soup you put together, you can also choose toppings and mix them yourself in the small bowl. The ambience is very nice inside and fits well with the general vibe of the restaurant. There are also a few tables outside. It is very busy and you definitely have to expect a waiting time at peak times, but this is also regulated with a system. The price is very good because it is weighed based on the food. We would definitely come again.

Simply delicious, you can put together your own meal and the soup will be served to you in no time. Hot, fresh and super tasty. It's very narrow there and you don't have too much time to spend there, but I will definitely drive another 50km to sip a delicious soup there ♥️

Super delicious food with lots of vegetarian choices. Staff is very friendly. Occasionally longer waiting times during peak times. Unfortunately, the room is very small and it is very uncomfortable to sit because you are often in the way of the guests coming up.
