Qing Shu Malatang

What is Qing Shu Malatang? Qing Shu Malatang is a customizable Chinese hot pot restaurant located in the bustling Milliken commercial corridor at 4733 Steeles Avenue East in Scarborough. Originating as a widely popular street food in Szechuan, malatang allows diners to personally hand-pick fresh vegetables, proteins, and noodles from refrigerated display shelves before having them flash-cooked in bubbling, aromatic house-made broths.

Qing Shu Malatang Menu & What to Order Diners begin by filling a large bowl with choices like thinly sliced beef, fish fillets, quail eggs, king oyster mushrooms, lotus root, tofu puffs, and chewy sweet potato glass noodles. Next, choose your cooking style: the Signature Spicy Beef Bone Broth (spiked with Szechuan peppercorns for numbing heat), a mellow and comforting pork bone broth, tangy tomato soup, or the dry-tossed Mala Xiang Guo wok stir-fry. Complete your meal at the self-serve sauce station with crushed garlic, chili oil, and sesame paste.
