    Sometimes you just need a warm savory soup for the chillier days. To my knowledge this was a relatively newer addition in the complex, and follows the malatang trend of picking your own ingredients (huge variety) and broth. I usually don't opt for many spicy things, so went for the chicken broth which was ok enough. Hard pass on the dry style sesame mix, which was difficult to eat with its odd paste-like texture. As the kitchen preps the dishes, ours came out surprisingly altered/ topped with herb garnishes (for visual presentation aesthetics?) - unfortunately not favored by my young son. Service was nice and inside was designed to be aesthetically clean, with a unique flowing river running through the large central community table. At the end of the meal, you can give your receipt to redeem ice cream, for which we received a Great Value/ Walmart brand ice cream sandwich; well at least my son enjoyed it.

    Decided to hit up Tang Bar after my workout today. It's a Mala Tang (spicy hot pot) place packed with Chinese character. Originating from Sichuan, the dish lives up to its name. Environment: Probably one of the better-decorated spots in the whole Bellevue area. Clean, pleasant color scheme, and comfortable seats. Service: The staff enthusiastically helps you check out, reminds you about any allergens, advises on the spice level--just the right amount of attentive service. Food: Dozens of choices, a complete selection of veggies, meat, and protein. The beef quality could be improved; the wagyu was quite tough and lacked a rich beefy flavor--definitely a drawback. Supplement: A long time ago, because their wool was needed for clothing, Sheep couldn't be used for meat in the U.S. This policy was later changed, and people slowly started accepting mutton. Due to local breeding requirements and supply issues, sheep can't be raised for very long before being sent to market. But the key thing is, whether mutton tastes gamey depends on the animal's age--the older the sheep, the less gamey it is. So, personally, I wouldn't recommend putting lamb in your Mala Tang.

    Tang Bar has personally become one of my favorite malatang places. The store is large and well decorated. They even have live fish in one of their tables. The staff were friendly and reserved a table for us while we were in line getting our food. The ingredient selection is one of the largest I've seen for malatang and they provide gloves when picking ingredients. I personally really loved their spicy broths, because I find most malatang places' "spicy" is not spicy enough. Although, don't be fooled by their sign. My friends and I all found the "Hot & Sour" to be the spiciest level they had, and it had a KICK. But other than that, they don't have much variety in terms of their broth types, and we found that their mushroom broth lacked flavor. The sauces and prices were standard for malatang. Whilst not everybody's favorite malatang place, I will be coming back for their spiciest broths and to try their other mixes and drinks.

    The definition of something for everyone. Build your own hot pot bar with dozens of ingredient choices including at least 8 different kinds of noodles, then pay by the pound. Picky toddler? Made a small bowl with rice noodles, bee, pork belly, and sesame sauce. Vegetarian? Simply skip the meats and load up on the seemingly endless array of veggie/mushroom/tofu options, with vegan mushroom broth. For myself I went with pork, beef, lobster fish balls, napa cabbage, wood ear and enoki mushrooms, house noodles, rice noodles, and the spiciest szechuanese sauce (no broth). They have a sauce bar with another 10 options for mixing/dipping the sauce my food came with was so flavorful I didn't need to supplement. $50 fed three of us, a great deal for the quality and quantity. I would definitely come back.

    Best decorated Malatang places of all the popular ones that I've seen. The Malatang format is different from hot pot in that they do the cooking in their kitchen, you just pick the ingredients, and I have to say, the Tang Bar selection is impeccable. Its layout is beautiful with the variety of meats, veggies, and other assorted sides. Love seeing Wagyu among the numerous beef cuts, all at the same price! I also appreciate the option for low sodium soup which maximizes the umami, especially their chicken broth. Even the sauce bar is well laid out, and the chopsticks rest under a sanitizing UV light ready for the taking. The staff are well trained and all in all it's a great experience from soup to nuts (ha). Don't forget to grab an ice cream bar before you leave, and take the leftover broth home to reuse at home!

    They replaced Swish Swish. We came on a heavily rainy night this week when the parking lot was basically empty and there were only a few customers inside. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the hype built by influencers on social media. They close at 12 AM, and we were there hours before closing, yet the food bar, especially the protein section, was already very picked over, with only a few pieces left of each option. It was disappointing that they weren't replenishing food when it wasn't even close to closing time. I do appreciate that they require gloves before getting food. Some of the non-meat items were cut extremely large (maybe intentionally?), but since you're gloved or using tongs, you can break them into smaller pieces. I wish the sauce spoons were bigger. I did like that they have a UV disinfection device for their chopsticks. All of the nicer tables and booth seats had "Reserved" signs and weren't available, which felt odd on such a stormy, slow night. I highly doubt that many people had reservations. It felt more like they didn't want to deal with cleaning those tables. As a result, we had to carry our plates to a table right next to the entrance. Speaking of cleaning tables, the first thing I did before sitting down was wipe down our tables, which clearly hadn't been cleaned after the previous guests. On a non-busy night, with so few tables available for use, you'd expect much better. To make it worse, my friend put her white rain jacket on the seat and it ended up with a large stain. She's still upset about it. The chicken broth I chose was comforting on a cold, rainy night, but the flavor was mild for me and definitely needed dipping sauce. My friends ordered spicy broths and said they weren't as flavorful as YGF's. We made our own dipping sauce. The soy sauce they used was extremely salty and overpowered everything, while the sesame paste was so light that I couldn't taste it. There were a few pieces of "wagyu" left when we arrived. Whether it was real wagyu or not, it seemed to be thrown into the pot with everything else at once, as it came out overcooked and super chewy. The regular beef tasted much better. The highlight of this place is the interior. It's beautifully designed and decorated.

    Came here after working out - wanted something soupy. They weigh your bowl after you choose your proteins and carbs (14.99/lbs). The selection is amazing as there are a lot to choose from - noodles, meats, vegetables. When you get to the end you choose whether you want dry pot or with soup - I ended up with soup - and how spicy you want it. I like coming here during the opening hours on the weekends since it's not packed and I can sit next to the fish in middle of the restaurant. It's a clean environment and is constantly getting cleaned up.

    Okay! This was my first time at Tang Bar after seeing a few Reels and TikToks about it. The interior was nicely decorated, and I was amazed to see a running stream with live fish in the middle of the table! As for the food, the selection was good -- there's a wide range of meat and vegetables to choose from. For the broth, I went with the mild malatang. I'd say I can handle spice pretty well, but the mild was still a bit too spicy and not as flavorful for me. One thing I hope they can improve is allowing customers to choose whether they want the crispy beans in the broth. I found them a bit hard to eat and didn't want to waste them. Other than the spiciness and the beans, I would come back to try the other broths.

    Clean arrangements, has less sodium option, opens late, have a lot of parking. Broth flavor is good the food choice could be more. overall recommend

    Tang Bar is immaculate in vibes and options when it comes to making your own bowl for malatang. I mostly enjoyed the selection when it came to choosing meats because they also had wagyu! My bowl came to around $15 and I got it with the hot and sour broth. It was so delicious and not too greasy or as salty as other malatang places I've been to. My bowl was ready pretty quickly too! Can we just talk about the interior of Tang Bar though? It is so perfectly curated in nice decor and I thought it was so interesting that the center has a water centerpiece that included actual fish! What an interesting choice of decoration!

    Same plaza as Asian family market, next to supreme dumplings. The sign was not lit up so we almost missed it in the dark. It looked pretty clean and there's a wide selection of ingredients (they even have pea shoots!) that were well stocked. It can be hard to find a seat here. Got the "just a kick," which is made with their chicken broth and a little spice. I like that they had the option to have less sodium. The sauce bar is kind of small but the food was already flavorful from the broth that I didn't think I needed it. My friend got the hot and sour, so I tried that but thought it was a bit too sour. The large table in the middle has a water feature in the middle and small goldfish swimming in it.

    Came during their grand opening weekend for a very late dinner. It was predictably crazy busy! It took about half an hour to get inside. Staff was welcoming, the restaurant was clean, and the food items were organized and labeled well. Because it was the grand opening weekend, it got a bit crowded inside as people were waiting for their soups to finish and to get sauces made. But that's a one off issue. The taste of the soup (I got the hot and sour) was rich and ingredients were fresh. Would recommend.

    Plenty of parking but also is really packed around dinner time, even on a weekday. When you enter, you grab gloves, a metal bowl, and tongs in which you grab the various ingredients you want in your soup or sauce. They have quite a selection of different meats, seafoods, vegetables, and noodles. It definitely makes it hard to choose what to put in your dish with only so much room in the bowl. Upon reaching the end of the counter, you choose either MaLaTang which is served with Broth or Savory Mix which is served with sauce. You can choose no spice all the way up to a 3 spice. I ended up picking the Szechuan Spicy which is their 3 Spice and hottest item, as a Savory Mix. After paying, you provide your name and they have a screen in which they call out your name and number and you pickup your food at the expo. Alongside that is also a self serve sauce bar with your typical mixtures. Vibe was overall good although I wish the layout was a bit more spaced out as the walkway to our dishes were tight to say the least. Flavor was definitely there but I will say that I am disappointed at the lack of spiciness when ordering Szechuan as I was expecting a numbing feeling. Hope there's a way to bring up the spice level in the future as the spice levels felt very inaccurate.

The quality of the meat and vegetables, in my opinion, was much higher compared to those places where you're able to get multiple rounds of meat or select your own vegetables/sides. The broth (I had kombu) was pretty light, so it wasn't the best. The service was pretty friendly and the only fault to them was they didn't come around to refill our pots with hot water.

But then, with a party of 10, I would think we would get extra attention but I guess since tip is already included after 5 in a party, they just called it in because I had to ask for more plates, more napkins, spoons, & water because the setting at the table was for 2, and we had 4. No one even asked us if we needed any more broth nor did they ever come to ask if anyone wanted a refill of the AYCE meats. Not that we could eat anymore but no one even offered. And, since everyone had to order the same meat plates, and one person wanted the wagyu, we all had to get wagyu at our table. Doesn't seem fair to me especially when they don't even offer more but I guess that's policy. When my son and I come in by ourselves, they are very attentive and always ask us if we need more of anything. But it was hard to find anyone to come to our table. They never checked on us after they brought the broth and meats the one time. So let me say I was very upset that the tip was included because really, no one served us unless we asked for more things. No one checked on us. Then I had to go and find someone so we could pay our bill. They apologized again for not seating us together but what could I say at that point? I'm not going to make a scene but it ruined a special night when all of the family couldn't sit together. Very disappointed with this visit especially when it's one of our fave places and we frequent it often and spent a good amount of $ that night with 10 people.
