Mala Town 自选麻辣烫 in Stuttgart

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

I come every time and it’s so good

Great place with extraordinarly delicious food

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.

At Mala Town you can choose your own ingredients and then have them prepared with a soup of your choice. Everything tastes super delicious! There are few seats, so you have to wait for a seat at peak times. But you can also order everything to take away. The preparation is then relatively quick.

A lovely little place with delicious food. You get to entirely customize your meal, and the staff is very helpful in explaining how to do so.

I actually can't understand the hype. Price-performance does not match. Taste okay, nothing special. Unfortunately not again.

the food is really yummy, you can choose yourself what you want in your ramen from a selection. the place itself is a bit run down.

Sandra even ate shrimp with the head on.

Super delicious food and above all fresh!

A little overwhelming at the beginning because you put together your own ramen content, but it worked well. The shop is very small, which means that you may have to wait a while to be seated and to order or put things together. There is a good selection of ingredients and everything was super tasty. I will gladly come again.

It was super tasty, I will definitely come back

You choose the ingredients and the broth yourself and then the soup is prepared for you. At the end you can add different toppings. The taste is really great and the price is completely fair. You pay per 100g. There is also a huge selection and suitable broths for vegetarians. Despite the lack of space, things are civilized because they are well organized. Employees are very friendly and helpful if you have questions or are there for the first time. There are some tables both inside and outside. We will be very happy to come back!

Super cozy. Service is very friendly. And the most important. The food. Price performance top. Sounds like a medium-good soup. But it's not like that. The soup is top and very cheap.

1. Out of 10 points, give it 4 points. 2. Ordered two portions, one spicy soup and one spicy mix. Both portions were not hot, even slightly lukewarm. I didn’t understand how the freshly cooked rice could feel like it was about to go cold. The taste is also average, because there are few types of dishes, there are few choices, and it is not cheap, which is understandable for European consumers. 3. There are few types of optional dishes. The meatballs are domestic cheap frozen starch meatballs. I don’t have to be too strict about how good they are. After all, it’s not easy to import. The beef rolls are not very fresh, and most of the vegetables except spinach are cabbage. There are several kinds of mushrooms, noodles and noodles, potato slices and lotus root slices, which are basically most of the dishes.

Eating without getting full I love soups, especially Thai and Chinese soups with or without coconut milk. But in this restaurant I didn't like the soups at all: there wasn't enough choice of meat, the taste was either so hot (for "medium hot") that you couldn't recognize the taste of the soup anymore, or bland for "not hot at all" that you... bored. First of all, it should be noted that you can ONLY eat SOUP in this restaurant (otherwise a "non-soup dish", which I have not tried), and that is very unsatisfactory if you want to be full and are not on a weight loss diet. Second unsatisfactory point for me: There are a lot of ingredients, but in the soup they are not cooked and are too hard (some mushrooms are really tough and inedible), some bamboo shoots are hard and cannot be eaten, but otherwise there is very little choice of meat: except Some slices of beef cut to the millimeter that were tasteless when cooked, I found no chicken or pork, no duck, but small sausages (for soup?) that I didn't try. The broccoli was yellowed, the bamboo strips were hard, as were the oyster mushrooms, only the prawns tasted good, as did the noodles, as well as small, thin mushrooms. There were also fried eggs that tasted bland and out of place in the soup. But no matter what you eat, you won't feel full, because for us in Europe, soup is not a main course, but an appetizer. You can then expect the main course. In addition, the restaurant is not cheap, but too expensive if you try - albeit in vain - to get full. We took two soups and a Minetal water (which strangely enough I didn't receive but paid for) and paid €38. Well, for a one-time experience it's fine, but for me it was: once and never again. I just didn't like it. I don't want to make a comparison with the French food I'm used to, this food has no chance at all. Maybe it's something for young people who can't cook themselves but imagine they're eating healthy??? I also don't understand the praise I've heard about it. No comparison to a Thai soup with coconut milk or a well-cooked Chinese chicken soup, let alone a Chinese duck dish. The restaurant is in an unpleasant basement, you definitely have to get a table outside on the street.

Small and cute. Don't expect a cozy restaurant. BUT the ramen is SO impressive! Absolutely delicious, fresh and can be put together to suit every taste.

Rarely give bad reviews But when it comes to your food, I have no choice.

This is great place for when you are craving hot pot. You get to choose your own ingredients and soul and your hot pot is made for you. There are all kinds of options, vegan too. The prices are reasonable. There is a little less space to sit but it still feels good. Nice place 👍

Saw it on Instagram, then tried it! The concept of choosing your own soup contents is an interesting one. Ultimately it tasted really good. A little more guidance on sensible combinations of ingredients would have been helpful. Some seating outside. Would recommend it for testing!

Best ramen in Stuttgart. You can choose everything yourself and the price is calculated per g. Cheap and super tasty.

Extremely good! The coriander alone completely resets your cerebral positions. I won't even begin to talk about the rest.

Super cool place! You can choose a products for your soup and kind of broth) The soup was veryyyy tasty, staff is pleasant and prices are very good for size of portions and taste!!! Highly recommend if you in love with asian cuisine!

The food was really delicious and we were able to have it packed without any problems. The staff was really lovely. Can only recommend it😊

The best Ramen I have eaten in Stuttgart! I love the fact that you can choose your own ingredients! The price is great and the portions are generous. I like it so much that I have invited all my friends sometimes I pick it up and take it home since there is always a lot of people and the restaurant is quite small, so you have to bring some time with you. At first they had really good containers for the food, they were green and there was no possibility of leaking and the food stayed pretty warm, now the have changed the containers and I personally don’t like it at all, the food get cold and there is way less broth then with the other containers! Please bring the containers back 💡

Great modern Chinese cuisine with a great ambience. As soon as you come in you can grab a bowl and choose from a large selection in the fridge - lots of choice in vegan/vegetarian options as well as meat and fish, all at fair prices. The restaurant is in a residential area, so parking is scarce. It is small, very popular and therefore often full, which can lead to waiting times. That's why I choose less busy times. In summer there are significantly more tables outside than inside. Sometimes certain products are sold out, but overall it's always worth a visit. I've been there many times, taken a lot with me and was always thrilled. The staff is also very friendly.

Small restaurant where you can either eat on site or take away. You can put together your own food there. Price is based on weight. Was delicious :)

Food is really very tasty. At first I thought that the 100 gram price was too expensive, but including the broth, one portion is a really fair price. Very small shop, waiting times are to be expected.

Very nice staff, cool concept and very tasty food. The ambience is fine. ATTENTION: I and my companion have now noticed twice in a row that some ingredients are removed again after they have been weighed in the kitchen. Since we weren't sure whether we were exaggerating the first time, we counted everything out the second time we visited and lo and behold: there are only half of many of the ingredients left! That doesn't work at all and is a complete disgrace. The concept itself is expensive but that's really the height. I would have been a really good customer... BE CAREFUL

The shop is very cute and small, there is always a lot going on. The staff is super nice. There is a lot of food selection and good prices I'd love to come back😊

very tasty authentic food & good selection for vegetarians/vegans🥬🍜, unfortunately accompanied by longer waiting times and few seats :/

The food is very tasty, the idea is innovative. Price is okay but the place is very very small. Would be great if they found a big restaurant.

It was very delicious. Can be very expensive if you choose too many ingredients as you pay by weight. Portion at the front in the picture approx. €16, portion at the back €28.

Small restaurant for good soups. You put the ingredients together yourself and then choose from different broths.

The food tasted really good. Despite waiting almost 45 minutes to be able to eat on site, it was worth it. The staff were very nice and helpful. However, the atmosphere is generally cozy and very small, which is why there are sometimes long waiting times. Overall it's great and I'll definitely be back

A very narrow and small shop. We had to wait a long time to get our turn, even though it was the middle of the week. The food was extremely tasty. I ordered the Classic broth with just a slight spiciness and was very happy with it. The selection of foods such as vegetables was sufficient, although I found the selection for meat lovers to be quite limited. The staff was very friendly. I will gladly come again.

It tastes really delicious, you have to wait outside until there is room, it's a bit tighter inside and you can't get many people in at the same time. Otherwise really good

Fantastic food with a punch! My wife and I loved the simplicity of the menu. Plenty of fresh produce and proteins to suite anyone's preferences. We also loved that we could make the broth mild but add as much chili oil as we liked to turn up the Scharf! Get there early though, otherwise you'll be waiting while to eat at this hidden gem.

Really nice place for a Malatang experience. The specialty chilli broth was really good. I recommend going for the middle-spicy level, as the mild-spicy level was too mild for my liking

Unfortunately very few places, but the food is even better =)

If you want to experience a Hong Kong style "hole-in-the-wall" diner without leaving Germany, this is the best place to go. You can't make reservations, and the space is extremely limited, so at peak times, expect to stand in queue. When you arrive, go inside and at the counter you will get a buzzer and an approximate time when you might get a table. We arrived around 7pm on a Wednesday and had to wait about an hour - it's part of the experience. The diner closes early, so plan accordingly. The inside is unbelievably cramped, with small wooden stools to sit on. When you finally get a table, you are given a plastic basin and you choose the meats, vegetables and noodles you want. Keep in mind that the vegetables shrink and noodles expand - that tiny looking glass noodles pack is more than enough. You can then choose your soup base and pay immediately. The mala base is extremely spicy, with the numbing Szechuan pepper, and absolutely delicious. With sweat pouring down my face, I finished it to the last drop. Make sure you buy a drink upfront - when the fire hits your mouth, it's too late. The walnut milk is great for quenching fires. A small selection of canned beer is also available. If you choose to take away, the waiting time is less, and from what I could see, the takeaway items are very well packed to prevent spilling. I would recommend this place if you want to experience real, unapologetic mala soup, which hasn't been toned down for the tender western palates.

Unfortunately, I have had mild food poisoning since my last visit (on February 7th). But the food itself was delicious. It's a shame, hopefully that was a blip.

Tried Mala Town for the first time today and all I have to say is “WOW”. The place is very small so unless you luck out to get a seat you will have to wait outside. Totally worth it though. The food is so good and you buy as much as you can eat as the price is per hundred grams. I love that you can choose the spice level, and what goes in your soup. An absolute treat.

The food was delicious, unfortunately it wasn't possible to make a reservation, so we had to wait outside for an hour. An indication of peak times or current waiting times would be super helpful. Otherwise cool concept!

Food is amazing but waiting time and seating area are crazy… Hard not to be hit by people sitting at other table

I'm very sorry for the bad review, but unfortunately I didn't feel well at all after the meal. Too bad because it was delicious, maybe a little overpriced, but the service was nice. Hopefully just a blip.
