喜辣猫麻辣烫Xi La Mao Mala Tang

Located in Chinatown, Xi La Mao Mala Tang is a Harbin-style eatery celebrated for its signature creamy sesame sauce blended into spicy mala broth and dried stir-fries. Guests can customize their bowls with fresh ingredients priced by weight, complemented by an assortment of grilled skewers and fried sides like waffle fries.

Commenters are largely enthusiastic, frequently describing the creamy texture from mixing sesame and mala as exceptionally "shiok." However, some diners caution that prices can be steep at around $20 a bowl, with a few reporting missing ingredients like fish and potato slices after cooking.
