KungFu MalaTang

KungFu MalaTang on Brighton Avenue gives you two main ways to order: malatang, with ingredients in a hot broth, or mala ban, a mixed preparation without the soup. That choice changes the whole meal, so start there before working through the rest of the order. The menu also lists vegetarian versions of both styles.

This is a practical stop when you want a single bowl rather than a long meal around a tabletop hot pot. The restaurant’s ordering menu separates the soup and mixed dishes clearly, and staff can help with the ingredients and heat level if you’re trying it for the first time. Iced soy milk, tea and bottled drinks are available alongside the food. You’ll find KungFu at 155 Brighton Avenue in Allston.
