Our take: Tao Jie Mala Hotpot appears to be a mixed bag, with strong advocates for its grilled fish and mala xiang guo, but also significant criticism regarding other dishes and pricing.

The Grilled Fish, particularly the sauerkraut version, is frequently highlighted for its freshness, meaty texture, and value at $18.90.

Some patrons appreciate the chef's flexibility with requests like less oil and salt, and the use of Japonica rice is a notable detail.

However, the sauerkraut soup itself can be overly sour for some palates.

Conversely, the mala xiang guo receives mixed reviews; while some find it fragrant and fresh, others are disappointed by a lack of authentic mala flavour and perceive it as overpriced, with one customer paying $25 for a portion deemed not worth it.

The fried French beans are described as forgettable, and the dried chilli fried chicken cubes (辣子鸡) are criticised for being tiny, hard, and inedible.

We think Tao Jie is best approached for its grilled fish, which seems to be its strongest offering.

Skip the fried chicken and be prepared for potential inconsistencies with the mala flavour.

What customers say

Tao Jie Mala Hotpot receives mixed but generally positive feedback, with many customers praising the freshness of ingredients, particularly the fish in their grilled dishes, and the customizable spice levels.

While some find the pricing affordable and portions generous, others express disappointment with specific dishes like the 'laziji' (fried chicken cubes) due to tough texture and small portions, or find the mala lacking in authentic flavor and overpriced.

The friendly staff and chef's willingness to accommodate requests are frequently highlighted.

Very disappointed with the mala. Totally missing the signature mala taste and aroma — honestly one of the worst mala I’ve eaten. But since already bought, die die also must finish the food 😫. The pot…
