MaLa Canteen 食之堂也

"I enjoyed eating here! They have a lot of options which were a little intimidating at first, but the food turned out great. The menu has both Chinese and English so it was easy to order. The server was really friendly and gave some recommendations. I recommend the skewers and accompany that with a couple of dishes depending on the size of your party. The dishes had a lot of flavor. The skewers were all nicely cooked and seasoned. The portions were on the larger side, which is nice so you can take home the leftovers."

"I like the tinfoil BBQ sections. Mala Tang was ok. Pork knuckles were awesome!"

"Not sure what happened with this restaurant, used to go there every week. Sadly, they don’t offer quality food anymore. Ordered the dry pot to go today and the dish is not even fully cooked. Called them and they said you can bring back the food and we will recook it for you. Are you serious?? Are they gonna put the touched food back into the kitchen to cook again? I will definitely not come back anymore."

"One of the best mala I have had in Maryland or DC so far ! The spicy and flavor are just prefect! Also have great started for both veg and non veg. The popcorn chicken with spicy oil and dry rub were great ! Do visit if in the area won't regret the place !"

"We ordered several items and mostly the skewers were delicious. The fried rice and the popcorn chicken was really good but the eggplant with noodles was OK. The server wasn't friendly and that was a bummer but the food was great. I liked the restaurant decor. It was pretty cool as it had a modern look for a Chinese restaurant and I liked it. It also has a fake bakery section which gives a good look while entering the restaurant. Overall, a chill place to enjoy a good meal and I definitely recommend this restaurant. Added more photos from the second visit. The servers and service was great this time so I updated the reviews."
