    I can always count on Yin Tang for a good malatang meal Your bowl is fully customizable so you are in complete control of everything! Great selection of veggies, seafood and meat. My favorite broth is the tom yum

    This is one of my go to places because you can choose all your favorite hotpot ingredients and pay for what you choose. They have a good selection of items and the broth is delicious. You can choose whether you want it in a soup or "dry". You can also select your spice level. Once it's cooked, they'll bring it to your table. There's also a small sauce bar area as well, but the food is already flavorful enough. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's not too big of a space, so sometimes there might be a little bit of a weight.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is kind of random, but their door is sooooo heavy to open.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's plenty of parking in the parking lot of the plaza.

    Great food! I know there are some differences btwn the places but they're minor enough for me to compare. I prefer it here over malatang (the one nearby), the food is better and it was cheaper too). Service was decent, nothing crazy nor expected, but the food was good. I can't really eat spicy so i got spice level 2 and it was perfect. Would come again

    First time trying this spot and am already waiting until I'm in the area again to come back. They had a plethora of options to include in your bowl and everything seemed very fresh and clean. I got the broth medium spicy and it was the perfect amount of lingering spice to elevate the dish without overpowering it. There was a waitlist when we went on a Saturday night but were able to sit indoors until our table was ready. I loved the egg noodles, imitation crab, broccoli, enoki mushrooms, potatoes, and much more. I would definitely recommend coming here especially on a cold night!

    Met up with some friends for dinner at Yin Tang in Carrollton. This is another popular Chinese malatang spot in the city. When we sat at our table, nobody came up and addressed us at first. We just walked up to the front where the self serve soup toppings were. You first get a bowl and put in whatever veggies, meat, and various toppings you would like. They have much less options than yonny, I just kept it simple here and basically got a bunch of meat. They also have more limited soup base options here, with an option of original, tom yum, tomato, or spicy dry mix. I decided to get the original spicy broth. After they take the bowl to cook, I checked out the sauce bar. It's pretty limited, and I made my sauce way too vinegary. After getting my soup, I had to add a little salt to it as I thought it was a little bland but it was much better after that. The lobster salad ball was my favorite topping, I did not expect such an explosion of flavor when I bit into it. It was lowkgenuinely life changing, everything else was good in general

    Good broth flavor here, although it's a little bit salty. It's one of those places that's nice to go when you're craving a bowl of hot pot but don't want to go out and get all the ingredients yourself. You pick your ingredients, bring them up to be weighed 14.95/lb and they give you a tag number. Then they bring the bowl to your table. I also noticed that a lot of couples share one bowl, so you don't have to order individual bowls.

    The portion sizes here are MASSIVE and you can choose what broth you want your food in. I got the mild spicy mala and wish I went with a spicier option--there was not much heat to it. There's a large variety of items to choose from which is very nice. The only downside I would say is that for the dry pot option it tastes like they just boil the food and mix in a little bit of peanut sauce.

    I mean what more do you need ? Great prices, kind service, the food is cooked after you pick everything out and it tastes delicious. The bowls are huge though, i could barely finish it [[HIGHLIGHT]]it's kinda quiet in there but it's comfy[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and it was such a wonderful experience. The soup was absolutely delicious, and the variety of food options was impressive. I can't wait to return again!

    I got the medium spice original hotpot soup. The soup is really good. I also liked that I could add my own toppings. I add a variety of noodles, veggies, and meats. The price is fair too.

    Tom yum soup base
    Hannah N.

    I've been in twice now and think it's pretty good. You get to customize your bowl with ingredients and either pick your soup base or opt for stir-fried. Ingredients are plenty including various veggies, noodles, seafood, and meats. There's also a little sauce bar that's included as well. They charge you by the weight of your bowl, and you pay at the end of your meal. I came in this last time for the new tom yum soup base, because if there's tom yum soup then I'm there. Alas, it was just ok. The soup has one level of spice which was just below a medium to me. The first aroma I got was coconut and gave me curry vibes. As for the taste, there was a hint of lemongrass, but I was missing the strong sour and spicy notes. I would just stick to the original spicy soup base. It's pretty solid. I usually prefer hot pot cooked at the table because I like my soup scalding hot but this is a nice alternative.

    An establishment I would highly recommend should you desire to satiate your hotpot fix 5/5 Food, high quality ingredients you can select to add into your soup, broth comes thereafter, original signature broth remains my favorite. Can select spice level as well. Small sauce bar but the essential options are there 5/5 Service, of all the times I have went, soup comes out at a timely manner and servers were sweet and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]3/5 Ambiance, standard establishment, clean, nothing too flashy. Ample seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Go to spot for quality and affordable hotpot. Not AYCE, pay by pound.

    For the $12.99 per lbs, is the weight of the bowl included or it's subtracted from the gross weight?

    We went around 12:30pm and there were people waiting. The lady that checked us in said it was a 30…read moreminute wait with 2 parties ahead of us. As we were waiting, we noticed that 4-5 tables were done eating and paid their bills. All got up and left, the staff quickly cleaned the tables. The cleaned tables were empty for another 15 minutes. The lady that took our names down took a while to call the next customers. Seems like we were waiting just to wait...she sat one party down and waited another 10 minute to sit the next group... anyways, after we waited for a good 40 minutes, we were finally called to be seated. Sat down and was immediately served with water and took our order down. Time for the food review: Chicken popcorn - nice crisp and texture, but lacking flavor. Felt like it needed a dipping sauce. Pork lard rice - disappointing, bland Pork intestine with green mustard - this dish was okay.. Crispy garlic salted fish - fish was nicely fried and flavor was good. Probably the best dish so far Crispy pork chop - this is the reason why we came here.. we wanted to find a dish like May Ice cream. Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment. The pork chop was extremely salted. From the skin to the pork itself. Walnut shrimp - this dish was foul. Who puts sprinkles on the side?! Tasted like I was eating an ice cream shop. The shrimp was also dry. Overall, not worth going and waiting. Food was lacking.

Came during the soft opening in September 2025 with excited expectations based on what we've heard, hoping to find a new go to Taiwanese spot. Unfortunately we didn't find what we were looking for. I admit this was the soft opening and things may improve, and for their sake I hope they do. Biggest issues for us were lack of flavor in the meat and multiple proteins being overcooked. The sauces they used had the flavor but it seems like the meat just wasn't given the time to marinate because the meat itself was bland. That coupled with proteins being a bit dry from being overcooked and you don't have a good combo. If they can tweak their prep process to let the meat marinate then it would solve most of the problems though. The best dish was the fried pork chop rice by far. A bit on the sweeter side so it just depends on how you like it. The bok choy it came with was basically raw though had more crunch than the pork chop. Service was also a mixed bag. The server was super nice and helped give us recs but it just seemed like they were still getting the hang of working in a restaurant. A glass of water got some food in it so the server took it away but they never brought us a new one. Again, soft opening so I give that some grace, but food has to be more on point for a new restaurant to make it. So all in all, there are definitely some kinks to work through for them. Normally I wouldn't write a review for soft opening but given that there are old reviews here plus food quality missed the mark more than I think it should've, I think people on Yelp should get a heads up.

We were greeted right away and the restaurant is welcoming with an assortment of booths and some large round tables. The server was friendly and she provided great service throughout our meal. We started with the steamed dumplings which were honestly middle of the road and we the weakest part of our meal. The entrees were uniformly outstanding. We had the Beef Chow Fun which tasted great and was less oily than versions we have had elsewhere. We also had the combination crispy noodles which were well prepared with tender beef and some great shrimp. We capped it off with the General Tso which was delicious. Yes, completely inauthentic but so tasty!! This restaurant is absolutely one of the best Chinese spots in the DFW area. Highly Reccommended!

But the reviews were suspiciously glowing, so curiosity (and hunger) won. We pulled up and I took one look at the building: older, unremarkable, zero curb appeal. Classic "meh." Inside, several large round tables with lazy Susans, red tablecloths, and Chinese lanterns. They first sat us in a booth but I requested later on to be moved to a large round table since we ordered A LOT. But back to when we first sat in the booth - As a Chinese woman, the second I spotted the older seats with ripped upholstery, it hit me like a culinary prophecy: this place was going to serve me some incredible, authentic Chinese food. I don't know what it is, but there's an inverse law of Chinese restaurants: the less fancy the exterior (and the more the booth looks like it's survived several natural disasters), the better the food. Apparently they skip Instagram-worthy renovations and put the budget where it belongs--on the plate! This is now hands down in my top 3 favorite Chinese restaurant in North Dallas - I can even say it's on the very top. I haven't forgotten about the staff. They deserve 10 stars. Super nice!

I'm assuming it's for sanitary reasons. The per pound price is a bit higher, but it's justified- the flavor of the stir fry was really flavorful, all the ingredients are very fresh. They also give you a loyalty card where you can get free items if you order X amount of times.
