Authentic Chinese food. The place is owned by a couple. They come between Flushing and Harrison every day to bring the fresh Asian ingredients here. Eating great Chinese food in Harrison is a luxury, but they make it possible🫡
Come for the food, you won’t regret it. Sichuan food at its finest, this is not your typical American style Chinese food. Parking is difficult but there’s street parking nearby. Haven’t had Sichuan food this good outside of Flushing, Queens. Mapo Tofu, lamb cumin, and cold tripe/meat appetizer are 🔝⭐️
malatang is always delicious and fresh and the staff is very kind!
