Malatang Bubbles in Stone Casseroles with Sesame Broth
Slurp through sesame rich malatang in a compact dining room with help in Mandarin and English.
🍲 Sesame Takes the Lead
Stone casseroles arrive bubbling at Yu Lao Tou Malatang, bringing a rich sesame sauce broth and chewy mung bean noodles to the table. Tender slices of fatty beef sit among greens in a deep, dark bowl. There is plenty to catch with your chopsticks before returning to the broth.
The Sichuan roots are there, though the sesame focus makes this a milder alternative to heavy spice. Savory richness leads the meal, with the noodles adding a chewy contrast to the tender beef. Take a spoonful between bites and let that sesame flavor have its moment.
The Flushing dining room is compact and clean, with quick service and staff who can help in Mandarin and English. On Roosevelt Avenue, it is open daily from ten AM to eight PM. You can make it a midday bowl or an early evening meal, with the same sesame focus at either end of the day.
