About Us
The Art of Sichuan Spice, Perfected
Yang Guo Fu Hotpot (Malatang) is a celebrated Chinese fast-food chain renowned for its authentic Sichuan-style mala tang — a richly spiced soup base infused with Sichuan peppercorns and dried chillies that creates the signature numbing-hot sensation. Our Sydney location in Dixon House Food Court, Haymarket, brings this beloved street-food tradition to the heart of the city.
Guests select their own ingredients — vegetables, proteins, noodles, and more — which are then cooked in our signature mala broth and priced by weight. It's fast, customisable, and packed with bold flavour in every bowl.
