Sooo yummy and fresh. Tastes just like amazing authentic Chinese food that we have back in Chicago’s Chinatown. Highly recommend the fried tofu appetizer on a skewer. I loved it. Also, the soft tofu is yummy (gotta like cold tofu though and hard boiled eggs). The dumplings/“ravioli” with pork and green onion were soooo fresh. Green scallion pancakes were great too!! Totally recommend, you should check it out in Milan if you’re in the area!

I'm truly grateful that I could still enjoy malatang past 10 p.m. The staff were very kind, the little shop felt warm and cozy, and the malatang was delicious. It was the perfect way to end my first day in Milan.

Don't order the usual Chinese dishes. Instead, try the MA LA TANG. You can choose your own ingredients, which are then boiled into a delectable soup served in a cute bowl. Highly recommended for a weekend brunch at a street-side table for quite a reasonable price.

The restaurant is quite small with limited space, but when it comes to the food, the taste is excellent, and the prices are very reasonable. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended! อร่อย
