Tangs in Bracknell Forest

Half of the dinner menu options stated online were not there. NO DIM SUM, only plain bao, no Sui Mai, har gao or char sui bao. No crispy seaweed, no lamb in black bean. Most of the dishes are just "filler" dishes, hash browns, spring rolls etc. the desserts also disappointing, only chocolate and strawberry. Poor selection of fruit, only melon, tinned peach slices and grapes. Chocolate fountain but only choice was a marshmallow. Just to clarify this was at a dinner service so a full menu was expected.

Came here for a lovely supper with my disability group, and have been here on many other occasions. As always the food was amazing and the staff were very helpful.

Went here a few days ago for a joint birthday meal, the staff are very friendly, the food is very good, the cocktails are fairly good and there are plenty of options for food. I will say however that the place could benefit from being cleaned more often, we were shown to our table and were immediately shocked by the amount of food under our feet! The table itself was clean, but clearly they don't look under the table when cleaning! It was fairly busy on a Friday night but there were plenty of spaces, aside from the cleanliness issue, I have no complaints.

My first time here but my partner has been a few times. At the time we went we must say it was quiet and there was loads of places to sit. Would say if busy book just incase. Loads of a selection, was surprised theh had kebab and pizza on offer but also has salads sushi, Chinese and Indian so something on offer for everyone. Loafs of options in food and tasted amazing. Loved the selection in terms of dessert from cakes, mousse jelly ice cream, fruit and a chocolate fountain. Would defo come back and good value for money.

We went for lunch and when we walked in there were 2 members of staff at the desk then they both walked away and ignored us. Un be known to us we were 10 mins before they were due to open, we only knew as we googled the restaurant and found out that way. There were staff huddled in the restaurant clearly not one of them had the common decency to let us know you weren’t open yet!!! Customer Service is awful we have visited the restaurant on a few occasions but never again.

Visited this place again on 29th May, expecting to see some improvement. Result is total disappointment: pointed the problems to two of their staff members, one seems to be the manager, but they seems to be helpless. Food : soups are cornflour water with some eggs, corn and soya sauce.. meat items are stale and seems to be reheated. Fresh item is the seafood kitchen where they removed salmon, prawns, and reduced quantity of availanle items. Never think about using their toilets, some asian railway toilets are cleaner. May be because of the preservatives in food, I am feeling uncomfortable now. Never again..

What an amazing experience for a weekday lunch in a small town with such a mind boggling choice of Eastern foods. I've never been to a buffet like it before! And it didn't end there - a wonderful choice of cakes and icecreams to finish off as well. All at a reasonable price.

Food was terrible, no salt in any of the dishes, they just boil or cook without any spices or salt. felt like eating everything raw. Not recommended for Indians, Indian dishes way too horrible. We were family and friends of 11 people for my daughter’s birthday, none didn’t enjoy , quite very disappointing.

First the positives - food was hot, there was lots of choice, and it was tasty (the prawn and salmon, freshly cooked, was delicious!). Unfortunately, there is a definite problem with the lighting in the restaurant. We had to move tables at least three times because every table we sat at had a flickering lightbulb above us which makes me feel sick due to a disability and, I’m sure, would be dangerous for some – it definitely needs sorting out. To give them their due, the manager moved us to a room at the back where the lighting was okay, but we were away from the main restaurant and there was no atmosphere. The disabled toilet is accessible for a wheelchair user, but there is a design fault with the sink and when you turn the tap on the water gushes straight over through edge and onto the floor. This is incredibly dangerous for anybody with mobility issues as it makes the floor extremely wet. I’m assuming the restaurant are aware of this problem, as there was actually a mop and bucket in the room. For these reasons there are some issues that need addressing before I would return.

Was undecided on what to have for lunch. Have not been here for over a year so gave it a go. £8.50 for all you can eat lunch. Very basic available, Japanese run out as I arrived, Indian was uninspring. The rest looked good. Had a salad to start, then started to work through the oriental dishes, all nicely cooked if lacking real flavour. Had a pint of Cobra (£4.10), which was really nice. To be honest for £8.50 it was good, more than filled me up, was well cooked and plenty to chose from. Staff were on the ball though a few smiles would not go amiss.

The staff were welcoming and efficient, the range and quality of food was good. The let down was the mens toilets where the urinals were constantly blocked. I would visit again

Not a huge fan of buffet style restaurants so my expectations were low but yet Tangs still managed to disappointed me. Firstly the buffet is tiny!!! It is mostly Chinese food the Thai offering was two curries, the Japanese was some questionable sushi and the Indian was only 3 curries the rest is variations of sweet and sour slop and school dinner pizza from the 90s (not a nostalgic memory worth recreating) The worse thing was that the salt and pepper prawns had not been deveined so literally I was eating sh!t which frankly sums up the whole experience.

I should have heeded the warning signs when upon entrance we were told there was no alcohol available, chocolate fountain was not working and drinks refill machine was not working. I shouldn't have agreed to pay full price based on this.Where to start. The plates on one of the stacks were so hot i couldn't hold them. Just plain dangerous. Also on the dessert section, the stated 'cold plates' were actually warm. I was watching as people spooned cream based deserts onto warm plates, yuk.The food itself was ok at best, really nothing special. I spent most of the evening wishing I had gone to Wagamamas instead.We asked at one point just for some tap water which turned up warm.At 16.75 each its not even cheap. Don't really get why people go to these places. I suppose they do once, realise the mistake and don't go back.

i went with friends just before the closure of resturants, and i went there for my birthday lastyear in april. looking forward to the reopen after the lockdown (:

I have been here a couple of times. Food quality is always the same. Help yourself buffet. Cheap meal out.

If you are happy with buffet style then this is definitely one of the better ones. Majority of buffet with chinese, Indian, thai and lots of similar. Also salads, fresh veg, fresh food and items cooked to order like fish, meats and pancakes. Always clean, always friendly and always keeping the food well stocked. Would recommend

Thought it time to re-visit. forgot it was Half-Term place was heaving, fortunately with the selection of food available for all tastes it kept the children quiet, well you cannot make a noise and eat can you! Like before great selection, sweet and sour soup was superb. not high cuisine but everything well cooked and tasty. Well staffed for the crowds. Only small point was the "Indian" area food was only "luke" warm which was a shame, all the other areas was piping hot.

Booked in with a large party on a busy Saturday for a birthday night out. Haven’t visited Bracknell centre much in recent years; it was so dreadful for so long that I rather got out of the habit, but have to say pleasantly surprised by both the town centre regeneration and the rejuvenated atmosphere of which Tangs is a good example. I didn’t have too many expectations as the budget pricing combined with the incredibly wide and diverse buffet menu leads you to question how good the quality could be? The answer is surprisingly good. Be hungry, be greedy, have a great time, with apologies to our neighbouring tables for our rather lively style of fun. Recommended.

Visited lunch time while shopping with my mother and wife. Selection of food was truly amazing. Chinese, Thia, Indian and Suchi. The food was of acceptable quality. Probably not as good as if cooked to order in a conventional restaurant, but tasty and as it is a buffet, plenty of it. Which at the lunch time price is such good value.What we really liked was the ability to take our time, eat a bit, chat and then try something different. No hurrying up from the staff, just discreetly taking plates away when finished and encouraging us to sample another dish on clean plates.Overall a very nice experience and we would certainly go back again.

I went to this restaurant with a bunch of friends for dinner. even though pre-booked table for us, we had to wait for a few minutes to find a space as the restaurant was really busy. Set up of the restaurant and decoration are cool and welcoming. Really helpful staff and service. Great food with varieties to choose. Had wonderful time here with friends.As the restaurant is located within The Lexicon shopping mall premises, it is easy to find the place and park in the mall parking. Weekends get always busy here.I will definitely visit this restaurant for a dinner again.

My first time here and found the choices to be extensive, great value for money and very clean. Would recommend and will visit again.

We go here a fair amount, food always good, good variety, something for everyone, clean, staff friendly, the only down point is booths are tight for space

Food really good and fresh and an amazing choice suit all including kids that might fussy!!!🤣 this is great for family's as there is something for everyone!

Decided to go with my family there and I was not very surprised. Food was ok, nothing to go mad, services was very good.

Went there for the first time for a pre-Christmas meal - I was pleasantly surprised. Quiet enough for talking to be easy, an amazing choice of food, which was excellently prepared, all at a reasonable price. Will definitely go again

Good price for a wide variety of food for lunch or dinner. Drinks are on top so a little more depending on what you drink. Food wise its got salads, Chinese, Indian, Japanese sushi and desserts. More food for dinner like dim sum, pizza etc...

This is a big restaurant that does only buffet. If you want sit down table service this is not the place for you. You pay for your buffet on arrival and then can help yourself as often as you like. They have a separate bar and you pay for drinks as you get them.

We has spent many evenings at TANGS with family or friends, just recently we had lunch with the grand kids, I was pleasantly surprised to see almost as much choice that is offered in the evenings. We have always had good food on our visits; there is so much to choose from Chinese, Indian, Sushi, English dishes etc. You also feel comfortable with cleanliness and standards of the restaurant. So pleased we have such a splendid restaurant in Bracknell new town centre.

Tangs is huge and clearly very popular. It is well laid out with a huge range of food options. I visited with high hopes after reading lots of really positive reviews, despite misgivings from previous bad experiences of all you can eat buffets. In fairness it's a lot better than your average buffet, but I still left feeling a little disappointed that it hadn't lived up to my expectations. Some of the food was very good and the dessert section looked particularly strong, but a lot of it was relatively bland and unappetising, particularly the main courses. They don't look to be skimping on ingredient quality so I guess, like most buffets, it's a matter of figuring out what is good and what isn't and sticking to the former. I suspect that Tang's will be a great option when you get to this point, but I'm not convinced I will return the 2-3 times required to get there!

Only joking. Was in Bracknell for some training and had walked past this place on a number of occasions going to other restuarants. reviews seemed good so took the plunge. Made sure I understood the "rules" before payment. Easy enough, pay the £8.50, hand ticket to one of the servers, taken too seat. Go to bar buy a drink. Grab a plate and off you go. Red wine was nice, large glass £4.50. Food looked good, fresh and hot. Plenty of choice of Chinese, Thai, Indian and Sushi. Started with soup, was very hot and spicy, lovely. worked my way through the rest, everything on the chinese/thai was excellent, very tasty and well cooked. did not try the sushi. The indian was ok, tikka and korma, not very exciting but ok. Servers were efficient and friendly. Ate far too much for a lunch time. Very good value will be back at some point.

This was only my second time here and I stuffed myself again. First time round I wasn’t sure about how the drinks system works (paying) but this time I knew what to do. The soft drinks like Pepsi it’s a one off payment which they refer to as bottomless drinks (big glass), but for all other drinks it’s payment per drink.

Excellent eating experience , from walking in the door we were seated in less than 5 minutes. Wood was nice and hot and very tasty

Gave Tang's a go given I was in the Lexicon and had been wondering what it was like, whilst also mindful of the mixed reviews.

I loved the place décor very nice and clean and the atmosphere relaxing and inviting. Very nice place for a family get together

This restaurant has really amazing food and awesome service. The servers are really friendly and fast. They have a variety of foods.

good food large variety tidy and clean restaurant staff fairly helpful and friendly will be returning

Kids love it, especially the chocolate, brilliant family environment. Once you bring your kids here . you know they will be sleeping well.

Didn’t really know Bracknell before today , my wife and I came to visit family friends. Normally not really a of buffets. On this occasion I was pleasantly surprised.

Staff were very friendly even with my rowdy kids, and definitely understood the value of customer service.

Visited on a quiet weekday for lunch, first time visit and such a great idea paying when you arrive plus helps if in groups with working out the bill! Drinks can be ordered at the bar and are reasonably priced and refillable drinks as well.

We had lunch. Lots of choice, hot and cold dishes. It’s is clean, staff clear away dishes quickly. Staff are informative and pleasant. You pay for drinks but can eat all you like.

Went for a lunchtime meal and whilst things like prawns not available there was still a huge choice. Eat as much as you like and at £8.50 the value was outstanding. As someone who used to work in Guangzhou I would say the cuisine is definitely Cantonese but extremely well cooked and for the price I think unbeatable.

The dishes were tasty, ranging from the Chinese sweet and sour, beef, chicken, noodles, various kinds of rice, crispy duck, curry, followed by some calorie-laden puddings such as chocolate cake, ice cream. There were also fruits(mango couli, lychees) as a healthy alternative. There is also a bar if you wish to have a drink , although we opted not to this time.The food did not disappoint as I ate very well, and needed to do lots of extra cycling to lose the calories!! You pay before you sit down, and have two hours to enjoy the veritable cornucopia of delights!

All the premium items like sushi were unavailable.

And so much of it , the choice is endless and all of excellent quality.I always eat too much and have to struggle to eat their incredible sweets and puddings , but I always manage, whilst promising that next time I will eat less .

Never been here before and found it a bit strange that you had to pay for your meal as you went in. We were seated to a table and we waited for the waitress to ask for our drinks, but nothing. In the end we had to ask and then found out you have to go to the bar and get your own ☹ Not my cup of tea when you are eating out in a place like this.

We have been to Tangs Bracknell loads of times but never take time to leave a review. I would just like to say thanks for putting up with my energic kids and making sure the food is always 5 stars.

I was staying at a hotel in Bracknell and looking for somewhere to have an early evening dinner on a Sunday. Tangs was recommended. It was a ten minute walk using Bracknell's warren of underpasses. However using a mobile app, I found it located in the town centre, in an area of a few restaurants. It was located up two flights of stairs on the first floor of the building.

Thanks again guys, you all take care of us when we come. I would like to say thank you to Joey the manager, for always taking the time to say hello and speak to me and my wife. Food and service are always A star.

What a good day out! Went to the new cinema in the Lexicon. Decided to go to Tang's for some food. Very impressed with the fresh food they offer!

Food was tasty and staff helpful. Really good value. My cutlery and crockery were clean. Looking forward to eating there again.

Went to Tangs for a team building exercise, enjoyed it so much we were thinking about having our Christmas dinner there.

Wife loved it kids loved, what else can you ask for in life? thanks guys will be back soon. Such a fun time.

This is a brilliant before the cinema. Trust me give Tangs a try! It was great for the whole family!

Quality exceeds the price. The price was so good I was expecting the worse. I was so pleasantly surprised.

something for everyone here and the bar is a nice feature, coming back soon. Really good quality, love it and have it way too often would recommend as it’s worth the money

Great food and plentiful an array of choice Indian Chinese even Sushi scallops Salmon there wasn’t enough time to eat everything on the menu so I’ll have to go back which is my excuse.

What a good choice for a family birthday. Visited this restaurant for a family birthday meal. Wanted to try this new restaurant, as we had heard positive things.

big variety of food cheap price and the service was excellent. No idea why the bad reviews, service was Great, cutlery was spot less, glasses clean, no signs of any bad hygiene, food was hot and fresh.

Will visit again and again. Thanks! The food was really amazing then the other buffet and we can drink the soft drink as much as we like. I really like the chicken

We were visiting the family who live nearby and frequently visit this restaurant. What a great idea. I wish we had one near us. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The food was lovely whatever you chose. The welcoming and waiting staff were all very friendly and polite. Lovely. Thank you

The staff in this establishment are predominantly young girls who are unable to smile. They are not welcoming or able to chat with the public. They lack any customer service skills whatsoever. I asked for a table and she barked the cost. I didn’t realise you pay first and apologised and was just ignored. Paid and showed to our table. Bad start to the meal.

We regularly visit Tangs, at least once a month.

This is a great place to eat and very good value for money. It does get busy, so make sure you ask for a quiet table if you want to have a conversation while enjoying your meal

I loved this restaurant. All Asian food and eat as much as you like.

Cheap and very cheerful! Indian and Chinese good selection and the food was hot and generally tasty. The sushi was really good.

Although we enjoyed our first few visits , more recently we’d noticed that after eating here one or some of us would feel unwell , mainly upset stomachs.

The food was So good with a big variety. And cheap prices as well and the service was excellent! Highly recommend! Brandi M

"Visited this restaurant for a family birthday meal. Wanted to try this new restaurant, as we had heard positive things.

The food was tasty and the staff was very helpful. Really good value. My cutlery and crockery were clean!

I’m really surprised at some of the reviews as we had a lovely time! the food was delicious and always hot...i went back about 3 times! the man on the door when we arrived was lovely and friendly too. the only reason i didn’t rate a five as our table was next to a dirty plate station, where food waste was scraped into one bowl and dirty crookery in another. it wasn’t nice sitting next to food waste whilst eating , perhaps a small partition wall could be put here to block it from eyes view? otherwise the place was lovely and we were not disappointed.

After going to the new cinema in the Lexicon came to Tang's for some food, Very impressed with the fresh food on offer, something for everyone here and the bar is a nice feature, coming back soon.

Visited Tangs for the first time tonight and we will be returning! Ignore the bad reviews - This is a buffet; if you want fine dining then spend the money on it but for an all-you-can-eat Asian buffet this place was fantastic! Friendly customer service, clean restaurant and constant re-stocked food! Can’t ask for any more from this style of restaurant - Would highly recommend.

Well, considering the price you pay for what you get it’s actually good value for money. If you really want the ambience and the 5* treatment then maybe you should look for 5* restaurants and pay the price!

Really good quality , love it and have it way too often!! Would recommend as it is worth the money!!

No idea why the bad reviews, service was Great, cutlery was spot less, glasses clean, no signs of any bad hygiene, food was hot and fresh. Will visit again and again. Thanks

Went to Tangs for my grandsons 21st birthday lunch. Brilliant food and reasonable price. Would definitely recommend.

When we arrived we were charged straight away (which is normal for a buffet restaurant), then was shown to our table and told we had to walk to the bar to order our drinks.

We visited Tang’s buffet restaurant recently. Very wide food choices, dishes in the style of Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian, Thailand, Indian, Italian and Mediterranean.

Food isn’t too great, the staff are ok.

I had low expectations when I heard my family booked this place for a meal, and unfortunately those expectations were met.

There's something for everyone at this all-you-can-eat buffet that includes dishes from India, China, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand and an amazing dessert bar with a chocolate fountain. The food quality is decent but not tip-top. The atmosphere is nice as everyone enjoys the great selection which also includes gluten-free and vegetarian dishes. Some items are prepared individually upon request (cooked/stir-fried while you watch).

OK, it's not going to win any awards for the food but that's not what you're paying for. Was a great introduction to Asian food for my kids with plenty of choice from starters, mains and desserts. I'd recommend the teppanyaki bar and have something cooked freshly for you, that was really good. Curry was also very tasty!

They have a lot of choices and healthy options for Pan-asian and Indian food, but not much for Italian. Could do reservations online or phone. Staff were ok. Atmosphere is conducive for intimate/family meals, parties, etc..even with young children. Desserts we're amazing- such a wide variety. Teppanyaki and dimsum were great as well. Quality of food is better compared to other common buffets (e.g. bigger mussels, good quality salmon, variety of dimsum). Healthy options available for those with medical issues.

One of my favourite places to eat, the Indian food is to die for - just wonderful. Sometimes the rice can taste a bit off, but usually it's great. There's a variety of puddings and a chocolate fountain in the evenings. The bar serves lots of drinks and does top up glasses (which always smell a bit funny). Great place to come as a couple or a family. We visit all the time and are never disappointed.

We had family gathering for our granddaughters 10th Birthday.We booked a table for 5.30pm for 5 adults and a baby.There is large selection of ready prepared foods from around the world plus section for ordering steak and fish to be cooked while you wait.Baby highchairs are provided.The staff are friendly and helpful.They are continually collecting used china and cutlery.The price includes never ending soft drinks.However my only gripe is having to pay for the drinking glass.

I’ve never been to Tangs before, a colleague in the office is a frequent flyer and I thought that I’d join her on a visit before she left for a holiday.

Great quality for a buffet style restaurant. There is a really extensive choice and all of if seems to be freshly cooked and continually refreshed. There is also a griddle chef to cook scallops and steak to order. It is also informal and quick if you just want to dive in and out.

Having decided to have lunch whilst at the Lexicon in Bracknell, my wife and I chose to eat at Tangs and we were very impressed with both the choices of dishes and the price. The buffet concept is unique and clearly very popular. A week time lunch at this establishment was only £17 for two and this admission cost enables one to have a starter, main course and a desert!! The cuisine is a choice of Japanese, Chinese, Malaysian, Thai, Italian, Indian and Mediterranean. Simply brilliant!! Highly recommended and we are already planning to book again in a couple of weeks time.

Myself and my parents are regular visitors to Tang's and never usually have an issue... However when we arrived yesterday (7/5) we were taken to our table by a rather rude member of staff. I'm not sure of his name but he's very young, brown/copper coloured hair and wears black framed glasses. He seemed to be dismissive of the fact my father is disabled and can't get up stairs in the restaurant easily and usually when we ask to be sat with clear, unobstructed access to the food the member of staff seating us will make sure this happens. However when we asked to be seated near the food we were quite rudely informed that the only available table wasn't cleaned. We asked if we could take it anyway as we didn't mind waiting for it to be set again. Upon asking this he threw the drinks menu down on the table and walked away and left it up to us to find another member of staff to set the table for us. Luckily as I say, we are regular visitors and never usually have this problem but if it were a first time visit, it would certainly have been the last.

We were really happy with the taste and the variety of food. Price is also very reasonable. The service is quick and always with a smile. Japanese, chinese and indian. Choices for kids and vegetarians. Great atmosphere as well.

I have been to Tangs many times since it opened and it is brilliant for families. The kids can get stuck in straight away and with so many different food choices my son has tried things to see if he likes them. He now enjoys sushi which is something I would never prepare at home as I can’t stand fish.

I've been to Tangs quite a few times as my son loves it, and have never been disappointed. Please bear in mind that it's an all you can eat buffet, so is not for everyone, but if you want good quality food quickly then this is great.

Stopping over from visit to Legoland, we decided to nip out for meal. Having been to several "buffet style" similar in Manchester was curious to see how Tangs would measure up.

eat as much as you like is not my normal first choice when one is eating out , but today i was treated to lunch by a friend and she took me here , it was amazing , all the food looked fresh , well cooked and appetising . I was so amazed with the clean beautiful restaurant with food that teased my taste buds with pleasure . An excellent meal with for once , real value for money , Thank you

Reasonable price for what you get. Lots of choice, fresh options and very attentive staff. Definitely a good option for groups with children or picky eaters as there’s something for everyone. Definitely get what you pay for

A bit disappointed with choice of buffet. Felt a bit like a canteen. No natural daylight. Staff very good. Not sure about having to go to the bar to order drinks. No actual table service. This maybe because you have to pay before you eat.

What can you say its an all you can eat buffet, been a few times and there is always a reasonable selection and to an acceptable quality, it' s fairly cheap and to an reasonable quality

I am realistic - I don't expect fine dining from a £10 all you can eat buffet. I have been to plenty of cheap and cheerful all you can eat Chinese buffets in the past and enjoyed many of them. This one though is pretty bad.

Seating was cramped with no alternative for another table. There were a variety of hot and cold food for starters mains and pudding. Fresh and tasty. Long waits at the bar for drinks as only one person serving.
