Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Monster Chili Mala Hot Pot receives mixed reviews, with a significant number of customers expressing concern over pricing and perceived lack of transparency.

Several reports indicate that the listed prices for ingredients can be misleading, with additional charges for items like quail eggs ($1.50 for 3 pieces) and fried beancurd ($2 for 5 pieces), as well as a base charge for sauce ($2 for small, $3 for regular) and soup base ($3 for medium).

This has led to unexpected high bills, with some customers reporting charges of $16-$20+ for a single portion.

However, some patrons find the mala flavor to be "solid" and worth the higher cost, especially for those who enjoy a high spice level.

We think careful selection of ingredients is necessary to manage the final price, as noted by one reviewer who learned to keep their bill around $10-13.

The service is described as generally unhelpful in explaining the pricing structure.

We'd recommend this spot only if you're a mala enthusiast willing to pay a premium and are prepared to scrutinize your ingredient choices to avoid bill shock.

I seldom give reviews but the price is totally ridiculous. I ordered just enough for 1 pax to eat, and the weight is 390g. However, beancurd of 5 pieces is extra $2 and there is a base charge of $3! E…

I just ordered my bowl and hadn’t even received it yet when I realised I forgot to add Maggi. Since my food was still being cooked and already paid for, I asked to add it on — but was told it was “too…

Price listed is misleading. 2pcs of quail egg is $1. Soup base is $3 for medium(i don’t even know how they decide). Chinese sausage is also extra $2.
