Information about this business (4)

In late April 2011 Sichuan Hot Pot comes to Arlington with the opening of Mala Tang in Virginia Square. Owner and Sichuan Master Chef Liu Chaosheng, known for his fiery culinary style featuring the famous Sichuan pepper, will oversee the kitchen and menu. The new venue, located near the Arlington Campus of George Mason University (3434 Washington Boulevard; Virginia Square Metro), is a...

The inspiration behind Mala Tang is Sichuan Master Chef Liu Chaosheng's hometown of Chengdu. Here you'll find the streets filled with diners sitting at tables gathering around bubbling hot pots, in which dozens of dried chilies bob up and down in an oily red broth. The hot pot itself is a pan that sits on a portable burner, surrounded by an array of small plates piled high with fresh...

Named for the hot and "numbing" sensation that distinguishes Sichuan food, this "fun" Arlington eatery is outfitted with special tables for individual hot pots that allows everyone to cook "in their own style and level of spiciness"; there are also other dishes that would be found in the Chengdu street stalls depicted in the back wall mural, all of them offering a "good value for the money."

Mala Tang Restaurant Review

For those who crave heat, and only the gastronomic kind, Arlington is home to a gem of a Chinese restaurant that has gathered together all the imaginably searing Sichuanese dishes and put them onto its sure-to-please menu. After all, the menu is subtitled “Sichuan hot pot,” and that’s no joke. The lunch and dinner offerings differ slightly, but at both times you can select a hot-pot to share or...

Good food and wonderful ambiance. Place was not so crowded and tables are spaced out well.

Mala Tang has great food, a very comfortable dining room and patient, but attentive, service. I loved the cumin lamb dish I ordered. It had heat but not scalp sweating heat. I will definitely pay more visits to this yummy Asian gem.

Went there for my son's birthday. Lots of fun, though I would not bring small children because the highlight is cooking food in boiling pots of broth!

We always go out for Asian cuisine on New Year's Eve and this year we landed on Mala Tang. We hadn't even heard of "hot pot", but we were excited to give it a try. They were accommodating to our party of seven and helped explain the hot pot experience. It was delicious! Will definitely be back!
