Mala Tang - Arlington

I have dined here before and been much happier with the food. This time, as soon as we were seated, our waitress advised they could only take cash as they did not have 'good internet' and could not use their credit card machine. Our choices: to leave or go to an ATM to get cash. I walked to Giant and got cash. The food was less than desirable. We all did the Dry Pot option and perhaps should have chosen the Hot Pot instead. The food was just lackluster. Of the of us, of us left more food than we ate and we did not take our leftovers. Our server, even though she was very nice, really didn't seem to be as well versed with the menu items as she shouldcould have been. I'm not sure what has happened but since I don't really care for 'Resy', which they are switching to and the overall experience we had, I won't be back

Love the hot pot selection. Good food. Very friendly staff

Food and service were OK. I had the vegetable lo mein, which was tasty after adding condiments, oils spices from the sauce bar. I also had the vegetable buns that were tasteless so I ended up asking that it be taken off the check

Birthday dinner for my year old. She brought two friends and we have a family of Lots of food allergies and requirements. Everyone ate and had fun. In the end, even with the tip was for seven who had a delicious and memorable meal. We ordered all we wanted and left only a few crumbs! Waitress from Russia was fantastic

We've always had prompt and friendly service but this night was off
