What is Mala?
Two characters, two sensations. Mala is the signature of Sichuan cooking and the reason some dishes on our menu tingle.
Má 麻 is numbing
It comes from Sichuan peppercorn, a citrusy husk that makes your lips buzz. It is not heat.
Là 辣 is heat
Dried chilies and chili oil bring the fire. We rate every dish 0–3 so you can choose.
Together they balance
Numbing softens heat; heat sharpens numbing. Rice and a cold drink reset your palate between bites.
Start with Mapo Tofu
It is the classic introduction and can be ordered milder.
