Mala Sichuan Bistro, Houston TX

This food is great, every single time. Can’t beat it. I got the boiling beef and sautéed garlic cabbage with of course super fresh white rice. Service is great, punctual, and food is cooked fresh to order and perfectly spiced and combined every time. Will definitely recommend and bring family and friends back!

The food was really tasty! It was our first time coming. Everything was seasoned well and the food came super quickly! We highly recommend this place.

Great food, reasonable price. The flavor of Mala is really authentic and reminds me of Sichuan. Pretty legit.

Sweet and spicy dumplings were a delicious starter. Chelsea recommended the spicy and crispy chicken for our main, and it was great! Super nice and attentive.

Very tasty and authentic Sichuan food. The tea smoked duck is the highlight of the menu. Service is very quick and people are great. Will definitely be back.

This is our family's go-to in Chinatown. The staff is very accommodating with children and the food never disappoints.

Friendly, compassionate service. The food is very nice. It seems like an authentic example for Chinese.

Never had been, and wat a big surprise, this place is delish. I highly recommend. It quaint but great.

The food was just wow. Every single food items exceeded our expectations.
Great service on top of that with a smile.
Highly recommended.
Long menu with a choice for every palate, order the spicy ones and you won't regret.

Was very good as usual. Wife loves the water-boiled fish. My go-to is the cumin lamb. Service was prompt. Small dining room, so come early to avoid waiting.

Great service, excellent food, and authentic flavors. Our go-to Sichuan/Chinese food spot in Houston. Highly recommend to anyone who’s seeking quality eats.

Every single dish I have ever ordered was fantastic! I have been going here for years and have yet to have one thing I didn't love.

We live an hour away, and still try to come at least once a month.

Never disappointed. Always leave looking forward to the next trip

Ok this white 50 yr old man just had first taste of Sichuan. It was excellent.
Started with cucumbers in oil and chili flakes it was delicious and refreshing. Next we had the house dumplings these pork dumplings were soft and had a delicious sauce. We ordered the salty and spicy chicken. This spice is like nothing I’ve ever had before. It reminded me of when you lick a 9 V battery and the tingly feeling on your tongue what is the equivalent of the spice. The chicken was excellent we next had the Mala Spicy prawns. The batter they were fried in was is the perfect consistency. We also finished our dinner with the house plum tea on ice. It was very refreshing and help cool down the spice from the main dish. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone I thought it was outstanding. The only surprise was the two main dishes we ordered came with no vegetables like I find at normal Chinese restaurants.

Service was exceptional! Highly recommend getting at least three dishes for two people. Looking forward to visiting again.
