Here you'll find the streets filled with diners sitting at tables gathering around bubbling hot pots, in which dozens of dried chilies bob up and down in an oily red broth, Mala Bites which is the popular skewered dish and the authentic Sichuan stir fried dishes.Our Spicy Pork Wontons won Arlington's Best Appetizer.Our Sauce Bar is available nightly for those who like to create their dipping sauces.We are conveniently located near VA Square Metro Station and a 5-minute walk from Clarendon Area.

    The food and service are always great. The highlight for us was probably the spiral cookie dessert with banana ice cream - not only delicious but a great presentation. My only suggestion would be to lower the music - it was a bit difficult to hear each other.

    We travel from Potomac, MD to eat at Mala Tang. The food is authentic, delicious and an experience. We love to do the hot pot when we have a large group as we can all share the proteins and veggies to put inside. When we are a smaller group we love the dry pot. The vegetables they offer are very fresh and unique. The service is always top notch and the price is very reasonable. We can't wait to go back!

    Lucked out and came for the first weekend of their Bottomless food and drinks brunch and it was well worth it! Planning to return as soon as I’m back in town. Tried new menu items and loved everything we had. Highly recommend.

    The food was very good. We ended up eating at the counter. It was hard for the four of us to communicate. I’d go back to try different things on the menu.
