Well I can see why people are obsessed — everything measured in weight usually makes mala pretty damn worth it… probably except for the instant noodles. $17.20 for this huge bowl for sharing, I was pretty satisfied after. I went for medium level of spiciness (or, zhong la). Thought it was a good enough of spicy for the medium level, but thought it was way too numbing. Would have appreciated slightly less ma and perhaps more la here, but since it is soup based, I do think they all added up pretty well. I did find it a bit too salty and msg-laden, feeling especially thirsty after the meal.
