" I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Tang Bar blew me away! The broth is exceptional, and the DIY concept made it even more enjoyable. I highly recommend trying the seafood options—they were superb! Just watch the balance of items; it’s easy to overdo it. Overall, great food and experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I rushed to try Tang Bar because of all the buzz, and it turned out to be worthwhile! The experience of custom-making my hot pot was delightful. The only downside was how cramped it felt during peak hours. The broths are flavorful, and I enjoyed trying the different spice levels. I would go back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! This place has quickly become my go-to for hot pot cravings. The self-serve concept feels very unique to the U.S., and I appreciate that the food is made fresh on the spot. I opted for the chicken broth, and it was everything I hoped for—full of flavor! Definitely a little on the pricier side since you pay by weight, but the quality justifies it. I can’t wait to bring my friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tang Bar is an experience in itself! I loved customizing my bowl with fresh ingredients. I was impressed by the variety of broths, in particular the spicy Sichuan. Warning though—the long lines can lead to a slightly chilly meal if you don't find a seat quickly. Worth the wait—delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" We went to Tang Bar looking for something different, and we found exactly that! The flavors were bold and captivating, especially the spicy broth. I was impressed by the freshness of the ingredients used. We did have a long wait for our food but found a table easily while waiting. If you're after something authentic, you won't be disappointed here! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Tang Bar, and I'll say it lived up to the hype. I was amazed at how you could mix and match ingredients, and the soup base options are fantastic. I recommend the pickled veggie soup base. However, I wish the seating was more ample; it was a bit tricky to find a place to sit. Regardless, the food was unforgettable! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is the place to go for anyone who loves Malatang! The variety of ingredients is incredible, and the ability to customize your bowl is truly a treat. The staff is friendly, but be warned—it can get super busy on weekends. I had the spicy broth and it was just right for my palate. Definitely a repeat visit is in my future! " (*Curated Review*)
