Diners rave about the flavorful broths and the impressive variety of desserts, especially the premium ice cream.

"Food was very affordable and there’s a super wide variety of sides/drinks/dessert available! Super value for money! Meat trays are ordered on ala carte buffet basis while the others are free for all to take. Try to make reservation or go at off peak hours to avoid the queue."

"Good food. Good company.
I especially liked that the side dishes were unlimited — we were able to pick and enjoy the ones we all wanted. I was with two other friends, so we were able to share the sides. I super appreciate the crew and their gentle reminder about our time. The hotpot experience was so good, we totally forgot about the time — haha! Overall, worth it for its price!"
Roxanne Robes

It’s an all you can eat setup so definitely come hungry. Service is quick and they keep everything well stocked. The vibe is lively, especially during dinner hours, so it’s a fun place to go with friends."

Our Favorite Taipei Restaurants - Taiwanese Secrets
Hot pot is of course one of the staples of eating in Taiwan, but spicy hot pot is where the real aficionados go. Spicy hot pot places are incredible, a flat-rate price and from then on anything you can grab with tongs and toss into your pot is fair game. Stores almost always have free deserts also, and Mala Yuanyang is no exception, offering unlimited Movenpick and Haagen-Daaz ice cream.
