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

Overall, reviews for Mala Tang show a mixed bag of experiences. Some customers found the food to be lackluster and service to be lacking, while others enjoyed the delicious flavors and large portions. The atmosphere was described as reminiscent of a bus station, and the service was criticized for being slow. However, many praised the authentic Chinese menu options and recommended the restaurant for both vegans and non-vegans. Despite some negative experiences with service, the general consensus seems to be that the food at Mala Tang is worth another visit.

I always enjoy the fresh ingredients that are used in the shabu shabu at this restaurant. It's a favorite spot for me and my friends to visit.

Find another place. The only thing good about this place is the exotic feel and friendly server, but even so, the server can lack professionalism. First, the br...
