All the food was so good, very big and clean inside, service was prompt, food came out super fast and super hot, and the price was very reasonable! We got greedy and ordered 6 dishes for the two of us (2 of them were carbs technically....) and it came out to 106 after tax before tip. We packed up more than half to go after eating. Lot of options for both spicy and not spicy food. Dry fried spring beans 4.5/5 Spicy fried fish with cumin: 4/5 (I wish the fish pieces were bigger and the fish texture was less mushy) Intestine in hot pot: 5/5 Chef special fried rice: 5/5 (Good wok hay) Sichuan cold noodle: 4.5/5 Sizzling Japanese tofu: 5/5

They have a super easy online ordering system right at the table which makes things convenient. We ordered the spicy lamb biang biang noodles and the non-spicy beef pulled noodles, and both had the perfect chew and incredible flavor. We also ordered the garlic green beans, but they came out so late that we were already completely full from the noodles, so we took them to go. Thank god we did, because they turned out to be pretty salty on their own and really needed to be paired with white rice at home. Overall, an amazing spot for authentic noodles! Absolutely love this place and will be back.

We came right before the dinner rush and I can definitely see why this place got packed so quickly…read more It isn't huge inside but there is ample seating, we were sat right away and the menu was fully online. Something I didn't love though, you order and pay through the online menu. Considering you leave a tip I don't fully understand how it works when we did this whole process ourselves. I also noticed other tables getting plates and bowls which we had to ask for. Overall, I felt the servers weren't too friendly either and seemed to rush through our table despite them standing around not seeming too busy. The food was excellent though! The soup had a great spice to it and super flavorful. The beef and onion was so juicy and addictive, the green beans were good too and had a slight kick to them.

Update: The bottom review was from my past experiences for years of dining here and ordering take…read moreout, which was always been pleasant. I haven't been back here till today and I was very disappointed. From what I remember the Chungking style roasted whole fish has always been a whole tilapia fish every time I will order it and I've always loved it. However, today I was very surprised and disappointed to see only half of the fish with mostly bones. What happened to the other half? Even on the menu it says, "Whole Fish", and not half. I feel like I was cheated and lied to. It's $30 for the dish, and to only get half? That's kind of a rip off. I ordered my food for pick up/to go but we ended up eating it at the restaurant at a table outside. They saw us eating there and offered to bring us tea, which was nice but I was confused with the whole fish, what happened to the rest of it? Most of their dish has Szechuan peppers so it's an acquired taste. This is the very first restaurant that I had my first taste of Szechuan cuisine. At first I did not liked it, i only had few bites of my food and I can still remember the weirdness numb feeling after-taste in my tongue, its tingly. It was a very strange taste so I gave it away to a colleague but then seeing her enjoying it so much.... I tried it again, and again, and eventually starts loving it. This restaurant is a hidden gem if you're looking for a delicious Chinese food. One of my favorites are the Chungking style roasted whole fish, it comes with cauliflower and other different veggies with lots of spices. The steamed whole fish with tofu and lots of spices was delicious too. The stir-fry thinly sliced pork with Chinese green onions, was very tasty. They also have a delicious beef noodle soup, the beef was so tender, the broth was rich and I love the bokchoy in it. I love the stir-fry eggplant as well, it's kinda sweet and salty, that was so delicious. I also Love the cumin lamb stir fry... that's fun to eat, I enjoyed that a lot. I really love the steamed pork with preserved mustard too, the pork was very tender and fatty--- I enjoyed that a lot with rice. They have a lot of really tasty and delicious dish here. They serve a lot of good food it'll take my review too long if I'll name it all. They also have cold dish, for $13 you get to choose three different entree where they serve chicken feet, different veggies, lotus root, some cut of pork and beef and etc. I love this restaurant, it's authentic and they are very nice too. The restaurant is beautiful.

Food is always fresh, delicious, comes out piping hot and fast!…read more There's a reason why this place gets so busy, the service is awesome, quick, friendly, and straight to the point. It's a small shop with about 10-12 tables, but very warm and cozy. They also do party platters. So in case you're in a pinch, they'll get your orders to you with a quickness!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience at Tasty Malatang Chinese Cuisine was…read moredisappointing because of the customer service. According to the restaurant's posted hours, they close at 10:00 PM. My family and I arrived around 9:15 PM, expecting that we still had enough time to order dinner. As soon as we walked in, the server immediately told us they were already closed. My mother politely pointed out that the posted closing time was 10:00 PM and simply asked if the kitchen happened to close earlier than the dining room. Instead of explaining the situation professionally, the server responded in a very rude tone: "Well, you guys can eat and order, but at 10:00 PM you need to be gone and out the door." Another employee then stepped in to back him up, making the interaction feel even more uncomfortable. I completely understand how the restaurant business works. I've been around the industry long enough to know that kitchens often stop taking orders before closing or that staff are trying to finish cleaning at the end of the night. If they had simply said, "We're sorry, but our kitchen is already closed," or even, "We can still serve you, but we're finishing up for the night," we would have completely understood. There was no reason to speak to us disrespectfully. What made this experience frustrating is that we never came in with an attitude or demanded special treatment. We were polite from the moment we walked through the door. We simply asked a reasonable question based on the restaurant's posted business hours, and instead of receiving a courteous explanation, we were met with unnecessary hostility. Customer service is just as important as the food. A welcoming attitude can make guests want to return, while a rude interaction can overshadow everything else. Unfortunately, this experience left such a negative impression that I won't be returning. I also would not feel comfortable bringing my family or recommending this restaurant to friends because everyone deserves to be treated with basic respect. I hope management takes this review as constructive feedback and reminds their staff that even when it's close to closing time, a little kindness and professionalism go a long way.

My first time here and it won't be the last…read more Parking: 5/5 I arrived on a Saturday evening and I found parking in the plaza location of Shancheng. So did my other friends. Not sure if I just got lucky because parking on Convoy can usually be troublesome for how popular it is, but perhaps we just came on a lucky day. Customer Service: 5/5 Lovely staff. I arrived before our party of 7 and they were able to accommodate us by offering two table options. Thoughtful and friendly people work here. Hotpot: What a selection! I loved the mushroom broth, the assortment of fresh veggies from bok choy, romaine lettuce, lots of mushrooms options - my favorite is the enoki, and I loved the tofu skin. Beef lovers and seafood fans will enjoy this place as well. One of my fave items we ordered is a shrimp paste dish for our hotpot. That was delicious. I also love how they have a sauce bar. Snack Bar: I frequented the snack bar. The coconut jelly and coconut crackers is my favorite. They have a lot of snacks to pick from and it's complimentary! Ambiance: This place is gorgeous. Lots of interesting architectural decor. I had a great time capturing photos of the restaurant while I waited for my party to arrive. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this place.

Parking can be a bit rough since it's right on Convoy so we parked on a side street but there is a lot right in front if you're feeling lucky. We got the split pot with bone broth and mild spicy and the spicy side was SO SPICY! The flavor was there but I definitely preferred the non spicy side. They also have an extensive sauce/snack/dessert bar with unlimited sesame balls, shrimp chips, and other Chinese desserts which I thought was unique. In terms of the actual hot pot ingredients, they definitely use high quality stuff and have a large variety to pick from! Overall, it was a good experience, but if I were to come back I probably would avoid the spicy soup base.

From the moment we walked in we were greeted and told we could sit wherever we'd like. Our server was David and he was so kind and attentive. The food portion was enough to eat there and bring some home which was great. My dad was in love with the egg rolls because they were soo crunchy, he only wished they were bigger. The food was quick to come out and easy to leave us stuffed. My mom loved their tea and my dad tried the Tsingtao beer. Honestly, one thing that left me surprised was that place isnt busier

This is NOT that place If you want dumplings, which is why we came, you got it and they do it well. Most of the dumplings, you choose steamed or pan fried. Here's what we had: XLB, steamed vegetable dumpling, pork and cabbage for pan fried, spicy chicken, cucumber salad, pork bun. And chicken noodle. The dumplings were handmade and the filling so good. Our favorite was the vegetable dumpling, the amount of flavor was so good. Everything we ate was good. Spicy chicken was definitely back of your throat true Szechuan spice. The cucumber was probably made fresh, so the sauce flavor wasn't as infused but overall still really good and smashed. The server was super nice and the food came out fast. It's clean and basic, but I'm here for the food. We will be back

When we arrived, we were warmly greeted and invited to sit at any available table. Ordering was simple through a QR code at the table. We ordered the Orange Flavored Chicken, Cucumber Salad, Xiao Long Bao (8), and Crab Meat & Pork Xiao Long Bao (8). I also ordered the Mongolian Beef to go. The Orange Flavored Chicken was crispy and flavorful without being overly sweet, making it a great way to start the meal. The Cucumber Salad was light, refreshing, and finished with a pleasant aromatic flavor. For the main dishes, the Xiao Long Bao had a rich, savory broth that paired perfectly with vinegar. The Crab Meat & Pork Xiao Long Bao was especially satisfying and filling but a little dry. The Mongolian Beef is spicy and savory. It goes well with rice. Although the restaurant is small, it feels comfortable and welcoming. During our visit, the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, which made for an enjoyable dining experience. Overall, we had a great first visit and would happily return.
