With its unique style and daring levels of spice, the Sichuan way to hot pot quickly gained popularity around the world which led Sichu Malatang’s owner, Jeff Li, to bring the Malatang experience to Manila. Sichu Malatang was then first opened in 2019 in Double Dragon in Pasay, and with its success, they now opened their 2nd location in Mall of Asia to cater to more customers in the area. But with this kind of success, it won't be long before we find a new branch popping up in other parts of Manila as well.
