"The seafood is all very good, especially the Camarones Apretalados and the Camarones Chipotle."

"Three By Sea is a great seafood combo of salmon, shrimp, and scallops."

"Also, even though the place is called a Ma La house, they do not seem to actually use any Sichuan peppercorn (hua jiao, the source of ma la flavor), so if you want it in your hot pot, bring your own!"

"For the spicy broth, it comes in levels of spiciness from 0.5 to 5. I found level 2 plenty spicy -- anything above that might be difficult to eat. And I love spicy food!"

"The view from the dining room is exceptionally nice."

"Get the brisket. Everything else is sort of meh."
