We absolutely love Oola Mala! From the friendly service, fun atmosphere, and generous as well as fresh portions are what have us coming back multiple times a week. It is a hidden diamond of the area.

So so so good! Must go! We had an array of items. Everything was delicious! The mozzarella sticks, yes totally random at a place like this, are some of my favorites in town!

Food was great and our server was knowledgeable and super attentive! Restaurant is very updated and clean. We will definitely be going back. We had the Crispy tart app Matador special roll Salmon party

Came for the Galaxy drink and stayed for the lamb hotpot. The Galaxy is a gorgeous shimmery tequila cocktail that tastes as good as it looks. They have a selection of hot pot combos, and I was very happy with the lamb hot pot. It was savory with a rich broth full of accompaniments that could easy become two meals. The price was reasonable and the ambiance was energetic and clean. It would make a fun date night or night out with friends.

We ate dinner here last night. Loved the food, got the tempura fried stuffed jalapeños and they were very tasty. We got a few sushi rolls, the matador was amazing. Overall super happy with our experience. The server was great. The restaurant had a cute interior and comfortable chairs.

Varied menu offering Spicy hot pot, seafood boils, sushi and more. They give a kids a token to play the claw game which is nice. The staff is great and helpful to pick out meals. We enjoy trying new foods and this place offers a lot.

I saw Oola Mala mentioned on a TikTok of the Durbin area and thought it looked fun, so I took my teenager for lunch on our day off. It's a new space and the vibe is super cute. We were seated quickly and served promptly. While they do have a bar with some really pretty cocktails, we stuck with iced tea and a blueberry soda. After all, it was lunch on a Monday. He ordered one of the ramen dishes and I had the udon noodles. Both were huge and came steaming hot. I had my noodles with just veggies which was perfect, and the ramen was loaded with pork, mushrooms, corn, and noodles. We didn't have sushi this time, but I saw several orders go by and it looks absolutely fresh and gorgeous. I can't wait to go back to try it!

This place is such a hip, cool, and entertaining place! I love how everything here is themed. From the chopsticks, to the napkins, to the takeout bag, when I say everything has the logo printed on it. I mean everything. They also have 2 claw machines in the front that are super cute too. As far as the food goes, I ordered the oola mala pot and my friend ordered the ramen. The oola mala pot had a wonderful soup base that you can tell took a lot of time to make. You get to choose how spicy the food you get too. The eggs are stewed with a little bit of your onsen egg runny middle, which could be a little less hard boiled, but the flavor is fantastic. The meatballs are all store bought and they're standard. The ramen has a lighter tasting broth and the meat is very well stewed. The service here is really good. They hire a bunch of what seems like either high school or college students and they all seem very genuine and eager. This place also does a great job of advertising on social media. Ok, well now there are some realistic reviews. The most competitive place against oola mala is the chain tasty pot off Southside. They sell very similar items, but the difference is that oola has sushi too but they don't have boba tea, but they do offer a selection of cocktails. I think this place is geared towards more western and aesthetic tastes. It's also a little more expensive here than it is a tasty pot, and Tastypot has more food and dipping sauces, whereas oola mala doesn't. I can see this place really thriving in the future when the area is built out.

Oola- la Mala- la has their food singing, "don't you wish your pot was hot like me"? The hot pot was so flavorful and large enough to share. The awesome server highly recommended the fried rice and it was "shrimply" the best I've had in years! They offer many cocktail options which is something you don't typically find at a Japanese sushi restaurant. I love my plum wine, but a variety is always nice! Oh and they give children coins after dinner service so they can play the toy claw machine. So cute! We will definitely be returning!
