Big portions too, great for sharing whether it was appetizers or the dry pot bowls. There were many people dining at Mala Project for the first time and it was really helpful when Paul made recommendations shared the usual favorites as well as his favorites. Super attentive and we had a really great time! Would def go back and hope to have Paul as our server next time too!! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
