Mala Restaurant
4.2 (702)restaurant
4.2 (702)An Allston go-to for bold Sichuan heat, packed with numbing peppercorns, aromatic chili oils, and generous dry pots.
Description
Set along Brighton Avenue, the kitchen balances its heat-seeking menu with fast service and portions that run notably generous. The lineup moves from savory meat skewers, dumplings, and seasoned noodles to dried stir-fried chicken with spicy capsicum. Customizable mala bowls come packed with pork, beef, and fish tofu, unapologetically oily and salty in traditional fashion, while keeping tab totals refreshingly reasonable for Boston.
