Tang Bar

I really appreciate the pay-by-the-pound option compared to AYCE. With all-you-can-eat, you often feel pressured to maximize value and end up overeating. At Tang Bar, the ingredients are fresh, and I like that they offer a lower-sodium option, my mouth didn’t feel dry afterward, unlike at some other hot pot spots.

Personally, I prefer bean sauce over sesame, but what they provide works well. We tried the hot and sour broth, which leaned a bit more on the sour side.

I could have gone to a hotpot restaurant for a much better meal for the cost of almost $45. The staff at the counter was very nice, and with the long line behind me; I didn’t try to see how much weigh is my food and was the b

Ordered the VEGAN mushroom broth, but noticed what appeared to be animal fat pieces in the soup. I’m not sure whether this was a labeling issue or cross-contamination from other orders, but it was concerning. I’d suggest preparing vegan dishes in a separate pot to avoid cross-contamination. I’m glad to see a malatang restaurant offering a vegan option, but you need to be more careful with how you handle the food
