Zhangliang Malatang Hot Pot — Restaurant in Dublin

Came here with my family on a Sunday night around 7:30 p.m. and it looks like we opened the flood gates because when we first arrived there was one family and then suddenly the whole place was packed.

The service is excellence as the servers would always come around with water ready to fill your cup and seemed very kind when they delivered your bowl of deliciousness. The bowls that they serve your food in our huge because they definitely take into account how much food you could possibly get.

If you've never been to a spot like this, basically you grab a bowl and some tongs and pick out the different ingredients that you would like for them to cook together to make your soup. Fair warning: it feels like a buffet when you're grabbing all the different ingredients but just keep in mind that they weigh your food and charge you by the weight.

The way that I love to set myself up is by grabbing myself a piece of different things that I want to try and then of course a bunch of the ones I love such as quail eggs! Highly recommend trying the chewy "hot pot noodles"!

Another fair warning! The mild spicy is spicy hahaha so if you are a lightweight spice kind of person, I would save a mild is more like medium for lightweight...

They take the meat out of your bowl after it’s weighed. I grabbed one dry ramen, a bit of vegetable and rest is all meat, total weight is 1.27 IB. So roughly one pound of meat. My usual diet consists of one pound of meat so I know how full I am after eating one pound. But today it feels a lot less than before. I am quite certain that they take out the meat that I paid for. Not coming here every again.

Reply to the owner: Thank you for your prompt response and investigation into my profile. I experienced this issue at your place and accidentally left this negative review on the other Malatang place as it’s also in Dublin . After acknowledging my mistake, I feel bad for them, and since my food wasn’t taken away over there I left them a 5 star review. There has been multiple of instance of this issue from my friends, who didn’t know about my experience, shared with me that their portion is reduced after paying at your place. So if you check the security footing of any day you should be...

I stumbled this place while going to the outlets near by. I was going to go to the other hotpot place but it was all you can eat. Zhangliang Malatang offers a vibrant and customizable hot pot experience. I like how you pay by weight, I don't eat much so it was well worth it for me. The ambiance is casual yet lively, with modern decor that hints at traditional Chinese culture. You are allowed to pick between fresh ingredients, including meats, seafood, vegetables, and noodles, which are then cooked in a rich, flavorful broth tailored to your spice preference. The service is efficient and friendly, they were really nice and patiently explained everything to me. Overall, Zhangliang Malatang delivers a fun, flavorful, and high-quality meal that is perfect for both quick lunches and relaxed dinners...
