Okay, based on your fun and detailed Chinese review
Yummy Malatang in Charlotte, NC! ๐ I randomly found this place on Xiaohongshu this week. Gotta be honest, when I first saw the name "Sushi Naru Pho", I thought it was just a sushi spot! ๐ฃ Since moving to Charlotte, I hadn't had Malatang in ages, so I couldn't resist checking it out this weekend. And... it was pretty good! ๐ ๐ช Shop Vibe The place is pretty spacious, not too crowded, and super clean. ๐งผ They have a self-service kiosk at the entrance โ perfect for my fellow socially anxious friends! ๐ ๐ฅข How to Order Just like in China! You pick your favorite ingredients from the fridge for either Malatang or Xiangguo (savory dry pot), then pay by weight at the counter. The selection is great and everything looked fresh! ๐ฅฌ๐ก ๐ฒ Taste Test We tried the Tomato Soup Base and the Malatang Soup Base (Mild Spicy). The Malatang broth was a bit light on flavor (maybe because we got mild?), but the Tomato broth was rich and delicious! ๐คค The fried dough sticks (Youtiao) and fried chicken were awesome โ so crispy! The chicken was super tender inside. ๐ Pro tip: Dip the Youtiao in the tomato soup โ it's a game changer! ๐ฏ Besides Malatang and tomato soup, they also have dry pots, sushi, and bubble tea! ๐ง The menu is quite diverse. Definitely trying the dry pot next time! ๐ฐ Price We spent a little over $60 for two people. They have their own parking lot, so no stress about finding a spot. ๐ ฟ๏ธ After eating, you can even check out the nearby outlets or mall. ๐๏ธ Overall, this place totally satisfies those Malatang cravings. It's such a rare find here in Charlotte! If you're in the area, you should definitely give it a try! ๐ ๐ Location Info Name: Sushi Naru Pho Address: 8943 S Tryon St A, Charlotte, NC 28273 Hours: Mon - Sat, 10:30 AM - 9:30 PM #Malatang #InternationalStudentEats #ComfortFood #FoodieFind #CharlotteNC
