    Lamb Mala Tang (마라탕) with rice with little shared Mala Xiang Guo (마라샹궈).
    James J.

    I couldn't find good mala place but Love this place first time visited today and was soo good. Bringing me memory when I was eating Malatang in Korea. Service was good and clean place to seat. I think name changed to You Like Malatang instead of You Like Skewers. Got 2nd spicy level and if you like spicy like me get the 3 rd level.

    Best mala restaurant in NOVA! The restaurant is inside the Kmart in the food court, so it might be a bit difficult to locate. The mala broth tastes clean and not as oily as some other places. You can pick the ingredients you'd like to include and adjust the spice. The mid spicy wasn't too spicy luckily. Will definitely be coming back

    I'll think about this Mala Tang soup for the absolute rest of my life. That broth is top tier

    It reminded me so much of Korea's mala tang restaurant in Korea! Its a Chinese dish but one of my favorite hot pot styles and so happy I finally found a awesome one in Fairfax! The mild was the perfect spice level. Still you can feel a little bit of tingle of spice but not too spicy. They are so well cooked with the veggies. You can choose any type of toppings and you can add meat too! Perfect meal for cold weathers ! The people taking orders were friendly as well and it was a easy vibe to dine in.

    You like skewers is located inside the K market food court. They have been around since the beginning of this market opening. I have never tried their skewers but tried the malatang twice. The ordering process is somewhat self serve. You grab a bowl and tong and put in whatever ingredients you want. There is a good variety of ingredients. My favorite is the thick glass noodle and the quail eggs. There are 4 spice levels and I usually go with level 1. You can always add more chilli oil if you want as they have a little jar of chilli oil near the pick up. In terms of food quantity, it feels ljke a lot but I would say it isn't cheap. But the taste is very good! The broth has a rich flavor and the spice level is accurate. If you want to be full, you should be prepared to spend around $25. There are open seating options as the tables are shared for everyone to use. It is an open atmosphere so there isn't much privacy. The staff are helpful and friendly.

    Bowl with broth and selected ingredients

    My daughter introduced me to this unique eatery which is located inside the K Street grocery store with multiple options to the small businesses. The area was very clean and spacious. As you walked up, you take one plastic container, a tong and gather your selected ingredients on the left side from various proteins, vegetables, noodles. You then bring it to the counter, they will weigh it and you have two options how you want your dish to be served which is dry or with broth. We did one of each. When your device was buzz, your food was ready for pick up. On the tray, you have your noodle dish which also comes with a bowl of white rice. Both dishes were delicious and for leftover broth, you can add the rice to soak up all that deliciousness. Once you finished your dish, just bring the whole tray up to the counter and they will take care of it. It was a great experience because it was like a hot pot but without the full table side experience. I will definitely make another visit.

    The attached pictures are only a small percentage of the amount of times my boyfriend and I have come here this past year lol. After falling in love with build-your-own malatang in the west coast, we've been dying for something similar over in the DMV. We both knew this place existed in Kmarket but didn't realize they had the option for malatang until we saw the little shelves of ingredients. Even though it's a small, unsuspecting spot in the food hall of Kmarket, this might be our favorite malatang! The ingredient options are more limited, and it is a shame we have to add the meat portions for an additional price after we pick our ingredients but the flavor is so delicious and consistent that we really don't mind it anymore. You can also choose between Malatang (soup) or Malaxiangguo (dry pot/stir fried). The soup is so deep in flavor with that numbing spice making it so addicting. My favorite ingredients are the woodear mushrooms and fish ball with roe. So yum! My boyfriend and I share a bowl because there is a 1lb minimum that is hard to reach by ourselves without the meat. They don't skimp out on the broth though, so it's definitely enough for the two of us! They offer many other items including skewers and spicy stir fried dishes (we tried the gopchang and it is so yum!) The skewers are also delicious, covered in the many seasonings and spices that make it so strong in flavor and numbing but addicting. We come here so often the employees probably wonder where we are if we miss a weekend haha Definitely try this place out!

    Food is great, i can eat it every single day. Spicy chicken feet is delicious and the noodles is a bomb.

    About a 2-2.5: I do love me some skewers, and I really wanted to like this place - however, no dice! You Like Skewers is part of the K Market food court offerings, and their menu includes fried skewers (chicken, beef, lamb, ham sausage, squid cartilage, whole squid, and squid legs), rice noodles, hot pot (mala tang), and dry hot pot dishes (dry hot pot, spicy chicken gizzards, spicy chicken feet, spicy gobchang, and galbi with rice). We tried their 3-skewer special, so we opted for the chicken, the beef, and the lamb - honestly, I didn't see the need to have a buzzer/pager, as the skewers themselves didn't come out piping hot, recently friend, and/or fresh - they were room temperature, and the seasoning was all just cumin - nothing else. I was pretty sad that they had run out of the squid legs, so if you're interested in having that as an option, make sure you go there earlier in the day. I did see other patrons ordering dry hot pot dishes, so maybe this is what you go for. The staff here are friendly, and there are plenty of seats the court. I'm glad I was able to give this place a try, but wouldn't return. +avoid the skewers - too cumin heavy and not freshly prepared +friendly staff +located in the K Market food court +plenty of seats in the court +plenty of parking

    Dry hotpot (carry out)

    Omg! If you really like spicy spicy mala Chinese hotpot, you will like their dry hotpot! So spicy with mala and the numbing peppercorns. Tasted very flavorful and the ingredients were fresh like the meat (we got beef, which I think they used chadolbaekki, Korean thinly sliced beef), lotus roots, cabbage, tofu skin, tofu fish cake, thinly sliced potatoes, cilantro, thin rice cakes, bokchoy, napa cabbage, bean sprouts, thinly sliced bibletripes, and a few other ingredients. It is $26.49 including tax, a bit expensive. I will still get it again since it is yummy! I don't know how their skewers are like but I can tell it has a lot of Chinese spices on it from seeing some of the pictures posted. **update on skewers** 7/23/2021 - we tried the skewers, chicken, beef and squid. It's definitely not for me. For those of you who likes a lot of cumin and spices, I say give it a try. But if you're like me and can't handle too much of cumin, you might not like it. Service was friendly and our dry hotpot came out within 10 minutes.

    This is a honest review. The goal is for the restaurant to improve. Please don't delete it again…read more Food wait time was extremely long ( more than 45 mins) even though the restaurant was practically empty. The food tasted like it wasn't prepared by a real chef, or more like it was made by someone who had never even tasted their own cooking. It explains why the restaurant was empty vs. full house when it first opened. Honestly, any Korean restaurant in the DMV area is better than this. I don't understand how someone can screw up Korean food in Korean town. Every restaurant in the area gets better and better. Competition is high. The price is on the high end. I don't mind paying even more but please deliver in terms of food quality. They are 100x worse than my last 5 visits a while back. I'm a foodie with over 5k dmv followers. Please take this as a feedback to improve. I dine out everyday reviewing restaurants. When I say this is bad, this is bad. That's why this review comes from my 1 star review account. Back to 19xx.

From my understanding, this place is owned by the former owner of Khan, which was a well respected establishment in the area. I've only hung out upstairs, but it's a calmer vibe than a lot of the other hotspots in Annandale. There's no DJ and it's not super crowded, but the music is good and it truly is a place to just drink and hang out with your friends. The food here is actually phenomenal. From skewers to shareables like the potato pancake to entrées like the spicy creamy pasta, I've been very satisfied with it all. But really, what tops the food is the service. We've had the pleasure of being served by some of the nicest people, Bruce the manager, Scott, Jack, who we now call Jack Jack, and Hayden. Need a place to drink? Chung Dam got you.

The atmosphere is great for socializing, though it can get pretty loud on weekends. Service is fast and friendly. Food is hit or miss. Most of the smaller dishes are decent, but some feel overpriced. We took one for the team and can report that the $9 corn cheese was incredibly mid. The khanpoong chicken is the only main meal worth it to us. A Korean friend also recommended the bossam and skewers, and I'd agree the skewers are worth ordering. Donkatsu was okay, and the kikurage was good but probably only good bc I got the sauce on the side. Overall, a good late-night hangout spot, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way for the food.
