My braised beef soup was very good. Spicy and hot helped me fight the cold.
Customer service was not great. No greeting, no courtesy.
The restaurant was clean and organized. I wished they played Chinese music than Jazz.

Mala Tang was incredibly nice to donate some meals for a YMCA Arlington Tennis & Pickleball Center event and our members LOVED it! They will definitely be eating at Mala Tang again soon. Our meal came with a spicy chicken, ribs, rice and broccoli. Everything was seasoned perfectly and very tender. The YMCA will definitely be sending members and working with Mala Tang again in the future.

This is the most authentic Sichuan style cuisine I’ve ever tried , love the atmosphere and service there . I would 100 % recommend their dry pot and of course other dishes as well . They also have a combo hot pot option which comes with one individual pot . Highly recommended

This place is legit – real Sichuan food with great flavor. The dishes we asked to be made extra spicy like Mapo Tofu did not disappoint, and their milder dishes tasted great too. Good service as well. Will definitely go back.

Traditional Sichuan cuisine has been an awesome addition to the DMV since 2011.
✨️ Pork soup dumplings: A great starter, in my opinion, with classic flavours and just always hits the spot!
✨️Custom mala dry pot: A spicy dry pot we got with noodles, chicken and veggies that is definitely a sharable dish and crowd pleaser.
✨️ Mala bites w/ Mala broth: This was SO good! You can get various skewers and the broth was deliiishhhh. We got beef skewers and quail eggs, which brought the meal together.
Overall, a great place for Sichuan with
hot pot to dry pot and delicious mala bites. There are definitely options for everyone to enjoy and I can see myself coming back here with my mum!

We visited here thinking this was a real authentic Chinese food place, and left with mixed feelings.
Service was actually decent. The food, not so much. We ordered an scallion pancake, and found a lot of pepper inside (see picture). This was absolutely not authentic. We also ordered steamed beef dumpling but received fried dumpling instead. For the hotpot combo, it was OK with a good balance of seafood, protein, and vegetable. For some reason though we were charged an additional broth $3.95.
From the outside, this place looked very authentic Chinese. Yet there was no one speaking Chinese, from reception to waiter. The menu was English only and it was hard to read through translation. Pictures from previous reviewers showed a much nicer menu and apparently that was no longer the case. It seems the restaurant is under new management. It is a rather exotic than authentic place.

I was seated quickly, and the service was just the right amount of interruptions… not intrusive or neglectful. The hot pot was very good, but I should have gotten beef; the chicken was a bit rubbery even after short cook times but not their fault – definitely my inexperience. The soju was really good as well.

The worst food poisoning I’ve ever had.
The worst service I’ve ever had.
I came here and ordered chicken and garlic sauce, it’s really not that hard to mess up. It came out and it looked fine. I ordered a coke with lemon, but they.. don’t have any fruits? That’s a first. So I ordered a coke. I was given a room temperature can…. the entire time I ate my poorly prepared food, there was an older employee sitting at the bar and she was staring at me intently for no reason. It made me very uncomfortable. When I returned home, I had the worst stomach pain I’ve ever had, the worst diarrhea I’ve ever had, and the most violent, visceral, soul crushing vomiting I’ve ever experienced…. All because of this run down, careless, poorly ran trap house with a couple of pretty cubes to distract you from how much you’ll be puking. This restaurant is like the horrible ones that end up on those tv shows with Gordon Ramsay, absolute nightmare. Terrible, DO NOT COME HERE!! SEND A HEALTH INSPECTOR!! DIRTY, UNPROFESSIONAL, OVERPRICED, AND SICKENING!!!!!!!!

I’ve tried Mala Tang a few times and stuck with some of the more traditional dishes, such as the dumplings and the kung pow chicken and fried rice. There’s nothing inherently wrong with the food, but it’s simply not good enough to keep me coming back. I’ve been searching for a go-to Chinese restaurant in the DMV. Unfortunately, Mala Tang isn’t it.
