This is the second time I’ve found a bug in food from Yin Tang Malatang in Irvine, which is honestly unacceptable. The first time it happened when I was dining in at the restaurant. I tried to overlook it, thinking it might be a one-time issue. But today, I ordered takeout, brought it home, and again found what appears to be a small insect in my food. This is clearly not just bad luck anymore—it raises serious concerns about their food safety and hygiene standards.

• Service is attentive and friendly, making the dining experience smooth and pleasant. • Food quality is decent but nothing standout—flavors feel a bit average compared to other hot pot spots. • Overall value leans more on the good service than the taste, so it’s fine but not memorable.

We put our name down first and when they call you in you start by grabbing a bowl and filling it with all the ingredients you want in your hot pot - various meats and vegetables. You pay by weight so the cost is just under $15/lb. I thought the price was on the high side. Once you get up to the counter to pay you pick the broth- 3 choices are original beef bone, Tom Yang, or tomato and you can pick spice level for each. I picked the beef bone at level 2. Once you pay they take it back to make your soup and they bring it out to you. They give you a small spiral bracelet with a number for your soup. There is a sauce bar so you can make your own dipping sauce. While you wait they bring out crispy wonton chips as a free service. Soup was not too spicy and overall very tasty. However I got move ingredients than I originally thought so I had to take leftovers home. At the end they bring a sweet jelly dessert at the end.
