With one location already open in Union City, California, Mala Town is an exciting new fast-casual concept “merging traditional flavors with modern innovation”. As the brand looks to expand, Mala Town is planning to open its second location in Las Vegas, at 5960 Spring Mountain Road, Suite 1D.
“It works a bit like a salad bar, where customers pick up whatever ingredients they like. It’s priced by the pound. Then you choose how you’d like it cooked,” owner Eric Gao told What Now on Thursday.
“Dive deep into the heart of Asian culinary traditions with MalaTown,” says the brand’s website. “We promise a sensory journey where every ingredient tells a story of authenticity and flavor.”
The brand’s “authentic Mala-Tang experience” allows guests to customize their dish with a variety of ingredients, like Chinese Cabbage, Spicy Beef, Bamboo Shoots, Shiitake Mushroom, Fish Tofu, and more. Most important, Gao says, is the broth.
“Our signature is our beef broth. It’s because because of this broth that we’ve opened so many locations in China,” said Gao, who addss that the brand is related to a chain with more than 6,500 restaurants in China. “It’s not like traditional hot pot; it’s more like something fast-casual for people who want to have a good meal at an affordable price. It can be healthy, it can be a post-workout meal, it can be a family gathering. We’re also going to have vegetarian options with our tomato soup broth.”
