FAQ
Which spice level do you recommend at Chipao Malatang? +
There are 6 levels, from 0 (clear broth) to 5 (max). First-timers tend to enjoy level 1 (mild), while regulars most often go for level 2 (medium). Levels 0–3 have no surcharge; level 4 adds 88 yen and level 5 adds 176 yen.
What's the hottest level at Chipao Malatang? Is the 10-level system gone? +
The current system runs from 0 (clear broth) to 5 (max) — six levels in total. Chipao previously used higher numbers, but revised its scale; level 5 is now the top. Surcharges apply from level 4 (+88 yen for level 4, +176 yen for level 5), and level 5 is plenty intense.
What are the recommended combos at Chipao Malatang? +
When in doubt, go with medium (level 2) + garlic chives, maitake, and gyoza (about 411 kcal) — it's the classic. For a lighter option, try clear broth (level 0) + bok choy, wood ear mushroom, and tomato with a medicinal-herb arrangement (about 356 kcal). On days you want something different, mild (level 1) + cilantro and pork with the tom yum arrangement (about 462 kcal) hits the spot.
How many calories does Chipao Malatang have? +
It depends on your choices, but the combos featured on this site range from about 356 to 462 kcal. The lightest option — clear broth with mostly leafy greens — comes to around 356 kcal; the classic medium combo is roughly 411 kcal. Swapping glass noodles for shirataki or tofu noodles cuts it further.
Can I swap the glass noodles for something else? +
Upgrading to wheat noodles or adding an extra portion of glass noodles typically costs around +150 yen. Whether low-calorie options like shirataki are available depends on the store. Note: skipping the glass noodles entirely saves you 50 yen at by-weight stores, or earns you one free topping at set-style stores. Check with your local store for what's available.
Can I eat here while on a diet? +
Absolutely. Going with clear broth (level 0) and keeping your toppings leafy-green-focused can bring the total down to around 350 kcal. Swapping glass noodles for shirataki or tofu noodles reduces the calories even further.
Does the ordering system differ by location? +
The standard system is by weight: base price 620 yen (soup + glass noodles), with toppings at 3.1 yen per gram. Some stores use a set format instead — 3 toppings + soup + glass noodles for 925 yen. Soup arrangements such as medicinal-herb, tom yum, and dan dan are +150 yen each. A few locations, including Iidabashi, also offer mobile ordering via in-store QR code. Check the official site for your specific store.
Is takeout available? +
The rice dishes (Chipao Egg Rice, Scallion Chicken Rice, and Shabu Pork Rice) are available for takeout. For the malatang itself, it varies by location — check the official site to confirm.
