🇺🇸 Charlotte, NC | Spicy Dry Pot (Mala Xiang Guo) 🌶️

Took a bite, and thought: “Wow, this is amazing.” Stumbled upon this spot randomly, and I’m so glad I did! The spicy dry pot here is so flavorful—packed with that smoky “wok hei” (breath of the wok) that makes it super addictive. One bite, and it felt like I was back in China instantly 🇨🇳.🌶️✨ It’s a tiny bit heavy on the salt, but pair it with a bowl of white rice? Perfect balance. Just like the mala spots back home: you pick your ingredients (weighed by the pound), then choose between mala soup (hot pot style) or dry pot.😊 The ingredients were fresh—crunchy veggies, tender meat, and all the usual favorites. Bonus: The place just opened recently, so everything feels new and clean. It’s spacious too, which is nice for a casual meal.👩🍳💋 Oh, and they’re not just about mala! They also serve ramen, sushi, and drinks—so if you’re with someone who isn’t into spice, there’s plenty to choose from. Price? $13.99 per pound—reasonable for the quality and portion. If you’re craving that bold, spicy, homey flavor, this is a must-try.👩🍳 📍 Sushi Naru Pho8943 S Tryon St, Unit A, Charlotte, NC 28273 #USA #CharlotteNC #MalaXiangGuo #SpicyHotPot #SpicyLife #NorthCarolina #Charlotte #FoodieFind #CharlotteFood #CharlotteTravel #CharlotteEats #CharlotteChineseFood
