About David’s Master Pot (Box Hill)

Box Hill’s go-to counter for custom málàtàng delivers serious Sichuan heat without the wait. Grab a bowl, pack it from the chilled ingredient bar, and pay strictly by weight—simmered in spicy broth or tossed dry from the wok. Regulars count on the complimentary bowl of rice to temper the chili oil. Utensils pull right from the under-table drawers, and brown sugar sticky rice settles the heat at the end.

  • Custom DIY Bowls: Pile fresh greens and sliced meats into your bowl and pay by weight before the kitchen boils or wok-tosses your order.
  • Signature Mala with Free Rice: Every hot pot soup order arrives with a complimentary bowl of steamed rice to balance the fiery chili broth.
  • Self-Serve Table Drawers: Dine smoothly at comfortable communal or solo tables with hidden under-table drawers stocked with cutlery and napkins.
