Chunli Malatang Gangnam-jeom
춘리마라탕 강남점 Malatang is the Sichuan-style numbing-spicy dish where you pick your own ingredients and pay by weight; the post does not explain the name Chunli.
Compiled from 1 blog posts read in fullSources →
A malatang shop on the third floor of the CGV Gangnam building at 438 Gangnam-daero, near Sinnonhyeon Station. You fill a basket with ingredients, it is weighed, then you choose malatang (2,200 won per 100 g, from 7,900) or stir-fried malaxiangguo (3,300 won per 100 g, from 15,900) and a spice level from 0 to 4. We read just one post, dated 12 August 2026: an office worker who went alone on a weekday lunch and paid 19,300 won for level-2 malaxiangguo with beef. Rice and pickled radish are self-serve and free.

What sets it apart
- The one post found it easy to eat here alone: at noon on a weekday there were spare tables, and the writer, who works nearby, says this is the place they keep coming back to.
- On waiting, the only note is one post saying there was no queue at noon on a weekday. Nobody wrote about evenings or weekends.

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
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 1 (of 1 posts read) |
|---|
It is on the third floor, but nobody mentioned lifts, a step at the door, or getting in with a wheelchair or stroller. That means unknown, not absent.
Nobody said where the toilet is or whether it is split by gender.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · 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
- One post says prices have been creeping up: meat used to be take-as-much-as-you-like, but by August 2026 it is charged by weight at 3,900 won per 100 g, and the same basket costs more than it used to. The post doesn't say when this changed.
- The only post is a solo visit, so we know nothing about coming with friends, family or a group.
- Opening hours come only from an info block copied into one post (daily 11:00-23:00, last order 21:30), so they are unconfirmed. The phone number 02-555-6388 is from the same block, and nobody said whether you can book.
