Had some friends in town, so wanted to check out this spot. It’s a really chill spot, the food was good and came out quick. Staff was super chill! Everything was amazing! Will be back

Food and service were amazing! For those who like spicy, level 3 was sufficient to enjoy the dry pot with nice heat. Would def recommend getting a few apps as well!

Super cute place! The atmosphere was really nice and there was a photo booth in the bar/dining area. The servers were also really attentive. Food was good and very flavorful! I don't normally eat spicy food, but the Little Spicy (2nd level of spice) was good for me. The dry pot pairs well with rice or noodles so I would recommend getting it together. The scallion pancakes were also super crispy and the sauce was good! The mala dry pot was enough for 2 people (+ takeout). Overall, a great meal and I would recommend for a yummy and filling dinner.

Have you ever ate at a place and enjoyed the full flavor of every dish that you tasted? Well this place was wonderful. Each dish was unique and so flavorful. I loved the soup, fried rice, and fish. We made our own drypot too. The mixed drink I got was tasty. And they have a happy hour until 7pm, with $3 off. The staff was friendly and helpful. And the place was not to busy. I hope to visit again soon.

Fell in love with Dry pot my last trip that during this past weekend when visiting NY, I ate dinner there two days in a row. I am obsessed with the great taste. The staff is amazing! Shout out to Ben and Ryan....they are great. I hope they expand to the West Palm Beach area soon.

I loved the place. Please know that the acoustic is very loud in the back room. The front room is quieter. Book accordingly. The food is nice, a bit spicy. Ask for mild in case you're sensitive. Service is nice and the decor is lovely.

Greenpoint has not many authentic Chinese restaurants, MáLà is definitely one. I like their dry pot, you can choose your own ingredients and the level of spicy, they prepare it for you. Depending on how many items you like to put in, it could be enough for 2-3 people. Another item I want to recommend is Beijing ChǎoBǐng, it is a dish from Beijing region and mixed with Chinese pancake slices, veggies, and pork or beef. It is hard to find in restaurants in nyc but Mala Project has it and it tastes amazingly.

Vibrant and cozy interior with delicious food. My friends and I shared a dry pot which was great. However the tastiest dishes in my opinion were the cold noodle salad (spicy) steamed beef dumplings and the scallion pancakes.

The service was great, and the atmosphere was a Brooklyn vibe. However, I was a not blown away with the food. The dumplings had thick dough that overpowered the filling, and the house noodles had very little meat included. The duck tacos were served cold and overpowered by the guacamole on top. I would definitely order the scallion pancakes again with the amazing dipping sauce. Overall, a pleasant experience, but the food fell a bit short of expectations.

Cute place. Came here based on Reddit lunch discussion. Service was a little cold. Dry bowl lunch special was over seasoned - could hardly taste the lamb flavor over all the spice and sauce. The middle option on the tip (22%) was selected when the credit card machine was handed over. I’d never seen that before.

We dined here for Valentine’s Day after I personally confirmed the prix fixe details with the general manager beforehand. I wanted to make sure the experience would feel organized and special, which is why I called in advance. When we arrived, we were seated promptly, which we appreciated. However, the execution of the prix fixe meal did not match what was discussed. We had to ask for the Valentine’s menu after initially being given the regular one, and only our entrée was served at first. The other courses that were included — including dim sum, the dry pot, and dessert — were either delayed or not properly presented as part of a structured multi-course experience. For a holiday prix fixe at this price point, the overall flow felt disorganized and incomplete. It didn’t feel like a curated Valentine’s experience, it felt more like a standard meal with pieces missing. To their credit, management did respond afterward and offered a partial refund, which I appreciate. I’m sharing this feedback because I think holiday service, especially at premium pricing, needs stronger coordination and attention to detail. I hope this helps the restaurant improve going forward.

Missed the mark, I came here with my family after seeing it plastered all over social media and it was not the experience we were expecting. From the moment we walked in, the girl at the front informed us she needed the table in an hour and a half because we didn't reserve, but on their own website and on Resy, their reservations for this evening were completely open. We came as a family outing but it was very undesirable, even the waiter? (Maybe?) And the same host wouldn't stop coming to the table like they were trying to hurry us to order to get in and out. I won't be back to this location based on this experience. We ordered drinks and Duck Tacos to go because it was just not the welcoming vibe we were hoping for especially when we eat Dry Pot in Flushing all the time. The Duck Tacos took a bit which is fine as I saw tons of Togo orders going by. They tasted okay but they were also cold? My only intuition is they tried to westernize a Bao. So now I don't know why we waited so long for them. Maybe it's better to order out than visit this particular location of the chain. Your mileage may vary, it wasn't for us.

Neither food we ordered nor my drink did was good. especially if you guys love eating protein, meat this place is really bad, amount of meat they put in plates just a joke. Flavors were off too. Definitely not coming back

We found hair in our delivery order. Food was great otherwise. Will never eat here again, this was disgusting
