Hotpot in Cambridge

Excellent food! BUT!!! Be careful not to overfill your basket this can get CRAZY expensive. We paid £58 for two pots of soup and had to takeaway the rest. And in all honesty I don't renember seeing a price sign.

I visited Mr Wang Hot Pot which is specialised in Malatang, a common type of Chinese street food. Malatang is named after the key ingredient, mala sauce, the word mala referring to the sensation of spicy numbness in the mouth after eating the sauce. The sauce is primarily flavoured with Sichuan peppercorns, douban paste, and chilli peppers.As I went in, the first thing that called my attention is the huge fridge full of ingredients like meats, sea food, vegetables and noodles. Then the sound, which was a cheerful atmosphere full of Asian people. To me, it means that the food is most likely to be genuine. I like it!Before ordering, I talked to the staff as I didn't really know how the hot pot worked. They were very helpful, and took the time to suggest which could be the best combination based on their expirience and my taste. The best part of it was that he took his time to find the best for me.Once you have your ingredients in a basket ready to pass it to the kitchen, you have to choose the soup for them. I chose the tomato soup, as they told me that it was one of their most popular ones. It was very tasty, and then I found out that it is slow- cooked for 10 hours!Once it is served, you need to wait a bit as it is too hot to start! The smell was delicious and the flavour was divine and very comforting as the night is cold out side.I strongly recommend the tomato soup if you come to Mr Wang Hot Pot and don't hesitate to ask for help as they are very helpful.

Good hot pot. Huge selection of ingredients to choose from and friendly service.

Best skewers we had so far in the UK. Wide variety of ingredient options and they are fresh and high quality. One more restaurant in our favourite list.

I am so lucky in Cambridge, because I can find the hot pot ( malatang) here ,and the taste is amazing which is the same as before I ate in China, I will bring my family here to eat really Chinese hot pot ( ma la tang)

This is a tidy little place in Cambridge,1st time going for a hot pot although i was hoping to have a table with a live flame below which would cook the pot as I would add my food.However out came my lovely hot pot with all the items that I picked out before hand..the soup that it came in was tasty, wasn't over powering just needed abit of salt n pepper.I kept it safe my trying the thin sliced meat- beef which was tasty and easy to cook and the lamb which was ok,I would stick the the beef.Fish ball was not for me, far to fishy for me, and the thick cut of beef n chicken was also tender.Would of been nice to have some bread or rice on the side which I shall order next time I go.They always said the were halal which is a plus

Great authentic Hot Pot (火锅) taste.You can choose your own ingredients (which are plenty). You control portion and ingrediance.Restaurant offer mild to very spicy/hot hotpot soup. So everyone will find something for themselves. Great, quick service.I would recommend lamb skewers (羊肉串) for side. They are authentic and taste fantastic!

First time have tried this kind of way of selecting ingredients and liked it. The service is fast and friendly. The lady has explained very well how does it work and with my friend we have enjoyed the food. Worth visiting again.

Amazing food and service! We were on our way to another restaurant and saw this one and decided to go here instead. Staff were so helpful and friendly!

Interesting concept - you fill a basket with ingredients you would like to add, then pay by weight. The hot pot comes to the table already prepared with the ingredients. Flavorful broth and delicious hot pot!
