Sinrungpu Maratang Dutamoljeom
신룽푸마라탕 두타몰점 Maratang is the Korean name for malatang, the numbing-spicy Sichuan soup; the posts do not explain the word Sinrungpu.
Compiled from 13 blog posts read in fullSources →
Sinrungpu Maratang's Doota Mall branch is a malatang counter in the basement-2 food court of Doota Mall in Dongdaemun. You fill a bowl yourself from a chilled display of vegetables, tofu and noodles, have it weighed at the counter, pick a heat level, and collect it when your buzzer goes off. Three posts give 2,500 won per 100 g with a 9,000-won minimum, and two put a single portion at around 15,000 won. Guobaorou on the side runs 16,000 won for six pieces or 9,000 won for a three-piece mini. You return your tray at the food court's drop-off. We read 30 posts dated July 4 to October 14, 2026; 17 were about the chain's Myeongdong branch and were set aside. All 13 that remain describe actual visits.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- Eight posts call the ingredient display clean, and they say what they saw: nothing spilled at any station, and no mess despite the crowds.
- You sit wherever you like at the food court's shared tables; seven posts say so, mentioning two- and four-seat tables and, in one case, group tables. Four posts found the space roomy, and one was surprised it wasn't noisy at all.
- The heat runs milder than the numbers suggest. Four posts said level 2 or even level 3 wasn't really spicy, and one added Sichuan pepper oil from the counter because level 3 felt like Shin Ramyun. A regular notes that level 1 comes as a plain white broth.
- Six posts describe the fried sides as crisp, guobaorou in five and the cream shrimp in one. The mini guobaorou is three pieces, which one post found pleasantly plump.
3 more
- No one waited for a seat. Three posts, one on a weekend, say there was no wait; one describes a steady line at the ingredient counter. Food took 5, 7 to 8, 10 and 10 minutes in the posts that timed it.
- Four posts came as a couple, two with a friend, one alone. One writer says they have been eating here for about nine years.
- Two posts mention a small hand-washing sink and a water station near the tables; one found the water not very cold.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.

Getting inside

It is two floors underground. Eight posts describe entering Doota Mall and taking the escalator down to B2; one mentions an elevator as an alternative.
No one wrote about steps at the entrance or getting in with a wheelchair or stroller. That means we don't know, not that there's a problem. It is a mall food court, and one post mentions an elevator.
The restroom is not inside the stall: one post says it's on the opposite side of the same floor. Another lists only 'restroom inside' without explanation, which we didn't count. Nobody said whether restrooms are separated by gender.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

What we do not know
- Only one post speaks from experience: right by Dongdaemun History & Culture Park station, and easy to find in the big Doota building. Others just repeat copied distances like 264 m from exit 8 of Dongdaemun station.
- Eleven posts list hours of 11:00 to 22:00, but all from copied listing data. No post gives this branch's last order or closing days; the 21:20 last order in Myeongdong posts belongs to the other branch.
- Since you pay by weight, there's no single meal price. Posts report 22,000 and 17,150 won for a bowl shared by two. The Myeongdong branch's 2,400 won per 100 g does not apply here. One post suggests a 10% coupon from Doota Mall's membership.
- Four posts give the same phone number, 02-3398-4106. Nobody mentioned reservations; at a food court counter, there may have been no reason to.
- Eleven of the thirteen posts repeat the same lines about being the ten-year-old original that started the mala craze and its secret rich broth. That is the brand's own copy, so we didn't count it. No post discloses sponsorship, though one says outright it didn't pay for the meal itself.
