J.: Excellent food — on par with the other Málà locations. Minor service hiccups as the location is brand new, but everything was made right. Great addition to the neighborhood, will be back again!
Michael G.: Delicious food in a cozy setting! The dry pot is a must - load it up with ~7 things and share with the table
Alana Winter: Dry pot is addictive
David: Mala bowl was really good. Seemed pretty authentic — wood ear, daikon, szechuan peppercorn. Mmmm still tingly.
Savannah Petrick: the xiao long bao are juicy and the skin is a good thickness but the meat isn't super tasty. duck buns are yummy. service is really quick & the place feels authentic, especially by midtown standards.
James H.: We enjoyed the warm service and good dim sum. The shop is clean and nicely decorated with very good soup dumplings, buns and noodle dishes. A welcoming experience.

Tara DeVincenzo: cold tofu and veggie appetizer was a delicious surprise
The Corcoran Group: Just like its downtown brother, you come to this Chinese hotspot for their amazing soup dumplings – get both the crab and the pork – they’re one of the best in NYC.
Josther Gonzzalez: Nice place,, nice food!
