We’ve made multiple visits to Mala Sichuan Bistro. This is an excellent place to try authentic Chinese cuisine that’s served family style. Great prices and portion size.

I went here last night with my boyfriend as a date night. We wanted to try this place as it had really good reviews and we wanted to try something new. This place is amazing! The atmosphere and ambiance in the room feels like you are going in the past in China. From the hanging lanterns to the wood structures is was simply gorgeous. We were sat quickly and by the time we sat down we had our drinks ordered. When we looked at the menu there were so many great options to choose from. Dan Dan noodles, crispy wings, vegan options, etc. I ordered the spicy crispy beef and my boyfriend had the pork. Both dishes were so flavorful and it came with a huge complimentary bowl of rice! If you like spice get the spicy crispy beef but be careful!

If you’re craving authentic sichuan food, this is the place to go. Their spices hit the spot and satisfy very well. Popular restaurant as it seems the owner is doing well with several others across Houston. This can be reflected as the food quality is phenomenal.

They weren’t lying when they said, sichuan food is all about flavor. The generous use of sichuan peppercorns elevates the flavor of each dish they serve but if you aren’t familiar with this pepper, take it easy, the tingly feeling in your mouth isn’t for everyone. Absolutely loved their Dan Dan noodles – yum! Perfectly paired with the dry fried double veggies, I just wish they added more bamboo The water boiled fish fillet was fantastic, don’t let the “water boiled” term mislead you. It does stand up to the 3 chili rating, it’s packed with flavor and is spicy. I enjoy it layered on top of a bed of rice that comes hot in the box. The sour and spicy wontons were also amazing! The place has nice decor and is well kept, the hostess was gracious. The service was fast and they have optimized the place with plenty of seating for couples and bigger groups. Really recommend it for sichuan specialities.

Loved the food here, we had ordered Cumin Lamb, Spicy Crispy chicken, spicy prawns…everything was super delicious! We ordered the Chocolate Nutella layered cake and it was amazing, it also came with a surprise sparkler on it. The ambiance is great too! Love the interior decor.

Lovely experience, great dishes. My 2 favorites are always cumin lamb and boiled fish fillet. Though they aren’t as spicy as the one in Bellaire but still very good.

Wow! My boyfriend read about this bistro, so we wanted to try it! We went in for an early lunch (11am) and had the place to ourselves. Everything we had was really outstanding, and we enjoyed mixing them together. We ordered the spicy prawn, kung pao chicken and the green tea matcha rice. We did have leftovers but not many!

This place was a wonderful surprise. Located in the shopping center next to H-Mart, the neat spot has some delicious food with great service. The flavors were something I wasn’t used to, but definitely wanted more. As the menu suggested, the MA-LA flavors were numbingly spicy but delicious . Keep an eye out for the chili peppers on the menu, the food can get spicy but still full of flavor. (If you want a decent challenge order the beef ribs [pictured with jalapenos], they can numb your lips but you can’t stop eating them)
