Ma Lala Chinese - Astoria

We've been coming here for really spicy yummy food for years!Highly recommend the dry pot, general tso's chicken, mapo tofu

Must have the dry pot! Everything is good here though; and the people who run this place are lovely.

Absolutely amazing place. I've been here more times than I can count and everything I've ever had had been delicious. The spice crispy chicken might be the tastiest dish in NYC. Total hidden gem, highly recommend.

So great ?, I must've looked too immature as our server advised me to downgrade my spiciness level down, and try the spicy next time! Recommend the Ma La Dry pot, shown here is corn, mushroom ears and knotted noodles, ordered completely at random as I have no idea what most of the stuff is. It was tremendous! ?

Highly highly recommended. I love their Chinese soup dumplings. You must try the dry pots and the amazing choices of proteins and vegetables. Some of the best Chinese food in Astoria. Be careful with the spicy options. The number 4 level is really hot for most people.
