The best dry hotpot I ever had. I thought about it so much the next few days after having it. Think I can have it the entire week if I could. Service was great, she kept asking me if the price was ok and if I wanted to take some toppings out, I could. Will def be back!

Came here for dinner with my friends on a weeknight craving malatang. It is self service for the vegetables, noodles, and some proteins like fish balls, etc. You grab a bowl and tongs and fill your bowl and they weigh it. Meat like beef and lamb are a flat price add on for $3 at a set amount. The selection of ingredients isn't as extensive as other places I've been to, but they had the staples and basics. I got beef add on with broth at medium spice. The broth is delicious and flavorful. Got medium but probably could've handled spicier since I've had the same broth at other places. The medium here is probably more of a mild in my opinion. Dry pot is a little more expensive than broth and 3/4 of us got that. The beef add on had plenty in it, I didn't think they'd give that much meat so I liked that a lot and overall enjoyed my meal. Everyone else enjoyed their dry pot as well, no complaints. We also got some bbq skewers but I didn't try those so I can't give my opinion. Service was friendly. We had a slight language barrier but we all worked through it fine as time went on. They packed our leftovers up for us and you pay at the counter.

Wasn't so familiar with malatang specifically, but we've had plenty cultural variations of it. You put what you want in a bowl and they add the broth. Good amount of potential ingredients and was a sizable dish-was able to share one bowl between two people. The broth was nice. We also grabbed some meat skewers which we probably didn't need-didn't add much to the meal. The meat in the broth was nice. I'm a little confused about the offerings for the dipping sauce as it seemed a bit random, but it did the job. We were the only ones there when we went so everything came quick.

Great service, nice selection of ingredients, they had all my favs! Really good amount of spice and flavor in the dry mala. Very good guabarou too. Highly recommend!

4.5 stars! I was craving something SPICY, and decided to check out Rahongbu based on my friend's recommendation! The restaurant appears to be largely self serve. We were a bit unsure at first (Do we pick any table? Do we just go for it or do we have to talk to the staff first?!), and there's a bit of a language barrier. But there are large bowls on the side to pick & choose your desired items, and then you pay up front and select either dry hotpot or malatang. The dry hotpot is a bit more expensive than the malatang. Meats are added separately at the counter ($3 each for beef or lamb). Table numbers are assigned when you bring your bowl up. I opted for the medium malatang, and my fiance got the mild dry hotpot. I was surprised to see that my completed order looked like a lot more food than expected. They cut up the larger items inside (napa cabbage, fish tofu, etc.). Medium spice was the perfect amount of heat for the malatang, but I might try the spicy next time. The broth is really tasty and slightly nutty, but not overwhelmingly so. Dry hotpot seems to have more flavor & the spice is more concentrated, so mild for that was almost the equivalent of the soup medium. Rice comes with dry hotpot, not with the soup. I had so much broth leftover towards the end, and packed this to go for round 2 with some additional noodles at home. Prices are reasonable. For the both of us after tax and tip, this came out to around $50.

This place is probably the best malatang in the area. I would take the hike to come back here. Yummy broth, pretty hole in the wall spot with limited seating but never too crowded so you could really just walk in. A lot of the things here are self service but it's still good! Make sure to get the gwobarou as a side dish!! Portion size is pretty decent so you can share with the table (:

We got the medium spicy and it is enjoyable and we can finish it without being too spicy. The food is great. There isn't a lot of service and the place is clean. The fried pork is a must get. I see a lot of the other people eating the soup version too.

So happy I found this spot!! The closest mala spot to me used to be New World Mall, but I'm so glad this restaurant opened. It's not hard to find parking and service is great. When you walk in, you pick up a bowl and choose what seafood, veggies, and starches you would like to add. You can put as much or as little food in there as you want. I always get the cheesy rice cake, lobster balls, fish tofu, fish balls, noodles, enoki mushrooms, and veggies. After you put everything in a bowl, they weigh it and tell you the price. At that time, you can decide to add meat. which is an extra cost. I always add fatty beef but there other options too. The order comes with one white rice. You can choose a seat and they'll mix it up for you with the sauces and serve. SO YUM!!
