I had an amazing experience with the service, which was truly fantastic. My water was constantly refilled, and it was lemon-infused! The texture of the noodles was superb. However, I felt that the spiciness level was lacking. I ordered extra spice, but it still came out fairly mild, so if you have a low tolerance for heat, this is a great spot for you. For spice lovers like me, you might still enjoy the dishes, but something will feel like it's missing, haha. The portion sizes are also very generous and reasonably priced!
The zha jiang noodles and stewed pork burger were outstanding. The other dishes also had authentic flavors. China offers a vast array of incredible regional cuisines that deserve more recognition. We appreciate how this restaurant sets itself apart and stands out from all the others that simply mimic popular trends.
Two stars for fresh and somewhat good flavors, but nothing special. Nothing craveable or that would have me go back. Barely any lamb in the spicy cumin lamb in sauce. Not worth the price charged. Ratio of noodles to veggies to meat was way off. Very disappointed.
The food was excellent, and the service was very friendly. I tried the pork dumplings in sauce and the Spicy Tingling Beef soup, and both dishes were incredible. I will definitely be returning to order more!

Malatang was completely lacking in flavor. There was no numbing sensation or spiciness whatsoever. This was quite disappointing, especially considering the price and the fact that I ordered it extra spicy.
I. Love.This. Place. Everything I’ve had, ESPECIALLY the dumplings noodles, are PHENOMENAL. Everything I get I normally devour or take home to eat the next day. Not a drop wasted.
Consistently so, so good. Seriously. The D1. Pork dumplings in sauce 酸辣猪肉饺 might be my favorite, but the H2. Pork"zha jiang"in sauce 炸酱干面 is a close second.
This restaurant is consistently outstanding. It's my favorite local spot for dining. They serve the absolute best dumpling soup in the East Bay.

Best hand pulled noodles you will have in the Bay Area. Recommend getting every dumpling dish too.
The noodles are excellent. Take their warning about the "numbing spicy" heat seriously.
