I really enjoyed my visit to Nudo Malatang. The food was tasty and comforting, and I loved how many toppings you can choose from (there’s something for everyone). The staff were friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience feel welcoming. Definitely a great spot if you want good food and good vibes.

So tasty!! I loved the marinated egg and all the different topping options. Definitely something for everyone here. Really friendly service. However easy to get carried away with toppings so check price as you go.

This is the second time I’ve been here now! The ingredients are so fresh and the tom yum broth is amazing. It’s very customisable to your taste, especially with the condiments bar. I would recommend the lamb rolls, beef tendon and enoki mushrooms 😍 10/10 would come here again :))

Malatang was absolutely delicious! The broth had the perfect balance of spice and flavor, and I loved being able to choose my own ingredients. Everything was fresh, and the heat level gave a satisfying kick without being overwhelming. A great comfort food and definitely worth trying again!

Upon entering the staff were very welcoming, as I had never had Malatang before and the staff explained everything from the ‘make your own’ bowl, to all the other options on the menu, I chose to make my own, doing my best not to over fill my bowl as it could be so easy to choose too much and end up wasting food, once I had chosen my fillings and soup I was given a number and chose a table to sit at, and made my own dipping sauce at the condiments table, it didn’t take very long for the food to arrive and it was piping hot from being freshly boiled, it was absolutely delicious and I enjoyed every bite, I would highly recommend trying it if you’re curious!

Very nice and delicious! Please think carefully before choosing ingredients, I put too much vegetables and payed a lot. There’s also menu with fixed price so you don’t overspend like me 🥲. Enjoy!

I had heard about this restaurant for a while and finally dined in with friends yesterday for a Chinese New Year feast. We ordered hotpot, a classic and much-loved dish in Chinese cuisine—I opted for the spicy broth, and it was fantastic! The selection of ingredients was abundant and fresh, with pricing based on weight, which made it super convenient. A helpful board on the wall provided guidance on the process and pricing. The flavors were authentic and absolutely delicious—a truly genuine hotpot experience! I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent hotpot spot.

Had a fantastic meal at Nudo Noodle House in Newcastle during a work trip. The vibrant atmosphere and friendly service made it a great spot to unwind. I tried the Lamb Satay on pan-fried noodles, and it was outstanding—rich, savoury, and full of flavour without being overly spicy. The lamb was cooked to perfection, tender and well-seasoned. As a fan of lamb, I couldn’t have asked for a better dish. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Yum yum yum 😋🤤. Hands down best food. You get a tub to make a selection of your vegetable and meat of choice. Which gets weighed at the counter. Select the broth and drink.Once payment is made. You can select your chosen condiments and wait for the boiled fresh food to come to your table. Slurp and enjoy.

Lovely experience. Concept was explained fully by very friendly staff member. Ingredients were all fresh and estimated prices on each. Scales available to keep an eye on what you're adding to your bowl. We tried the Malatang broth and the Tom Yum with various seafood and vegetables. Will definitely return

Questions & answers

01Is this halal?
Hi we do have many vegetarian and halal ingredients and soup broth to choose from. We have some meat like ‘Marinated Chicken, Chicken Wings, Chicken Gizzards, Chopped Duck. All of them are halal. However, due to our setup being similar to a buffet restaurant with all the food ingredients uncovered, they are exposed, and we are unable to 100% ensure there is no cross-contamination.

Very disappointed. Noddles were missing.
