Description

Mala Sichuan Bistro is nicer, cleaner and friendlier than most places you'll run across in Chinatown. Thankfully, the food is still as inexpensive and authentic-Chinese as you'd expect from a place with menu items like "Top Notch Pot of the Outlaws" and "Prosper at 5 AM." The ultra-hot live tilapia dishes are the most popular, but tea-smoked duck, cumin beef and dan dan noodles are equally good — and slightly less spicy — options as well.

    Was very disappointed. Garlic sauce was very bland even though menu said it was supposed to be spicy. It was made with garlic powder instead of real pieces of garlic. Definitely a place for the Americans not the Chinese.

    My standard go-to restaurant is Mala Sichuan Bistro. I know it has been pretty well documented that this place is good, but I love it. We like to mix up our order, but we almost always get the water boiled fish and the Mala bamboo shoots. Be sure to give their red oil the respect it deserves, and avoid wearing any light-colored shirts. Once, the oil splashed up and ruined my favorite "OU sucks" shirt.

  • 2012 | Best Chinese Restaurant

    There is no better nor more consistently excellent Chinese restaurant in town right now than Mala Sichuan, thanks to the peerless stewardship of owner Cori Xiong and her team of highly trained Sichuan chefs. The flavors in Mala's water-boiled fish or mapo tofu are clean, vibrant and piercing, while less heat-heavy dishes such as the Funky Stick Chicken, Arctic surf clams or Four Joy Lion's Head show off the less spicy -- but no less invigorating -- side of Sichuan cuisine.
