The waiting area was quite packed with people just sitting there on their phones, not sure whether they was waiting for a table or not but we went straight into the counter where we was assigned to our seats. The table we was located on was very awkward. There was no way of getting out when the other table surrounding were being used. As a result, we had to squeeze past the little gaps in the pillars. Once we went to get our drinks, we headed straight to the food and it was amazing!! All the food was very hot and freshly cooked. The restaurant itself was very clean and the counters where the food were was exceptionally clean, the only bit that wasn’t clean was the chocolate fountain. There was chocolate all over the counter. I do get that that must be quite hard to clean and not any point cleaning it every so often so that’s understandable. My only negative comment on this visit was at one point we had about eight plate stacked up on our end of the table, but the main thing is it was cleared at some point. I really appreciate all of your hard work the workers do. I know it’s not easy having to maintain all the food and also having to be going round checking to make sure all the food hasn’t run out, so thank you to all of the workers. 9/10

Needed somewhere at short notice for 15 of us after a hard day's mountain biking, so decided on Tangs. Best decision ever - all you can eat for a set price, so no working out the bill at the end and the food far exceeded what I had expected from a buffet. I started out with a plate of Indian food, and I have to say the Aloo Gobi was the best I have ever had, the Naan bread was up there too! Then a plate of chinese - the noodles were amazing, although not much for vegetarians in the chinese section, so I just piled up spring rolls and onion rings. I managed to squeeze in a little dessert, and the creme brulee was delicious.

WARNING! Customers, please be careful when using ice-cream section, i.e. when you open the lid, make sure you open it up to the top for 180 degrees. I infortunately didn't know about it and only opened it 90 degrees and when I let it go, the thick and very heavy lid fell right on my son's head when he was leaning to get the ice-cream. That really hurt my son and he was crying out of pain. When I checked his head, the lump was growing big and I asked staff for the ice, however one of staff members from the kitchen holding ice still in his hand started blaming me that I should have opened the lid up to the top. When I said I didn't know about it and asked to give me ice quickly that he was holding in his hand, he started shouting back, saying: "Jesus Christ! No need to panick so much!" Naturally, I was panicking seeing lump on my son's head getting bigger and he was still crying. The staff member gave the ice and we left back to our table. Few minutes later, staff member found us to give us the cloth to wrap the ice in it (which I appreciate) but then he asked a question if there was a cut. I said there was no cut but big lump, to which he replied: "If there's no cut, then it's fine, why panick so much?" with the unplesant tone. To be honest, I expected at least to hear "sorry for what happened" but not blaming the mother worried for her child. My son told me later: "let's not come back to this place as the staff is very rude". Shame though, because I really liked the food. To the managers of the restaurant - in order to avoid any other child being hurt, please put a note on the ice cream lid for the future customers that it should be opened up to the top.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

Please disregard my review from a while back. This place has a 1 star hygiene rating 🤢 I’ve worked in places with 5 star and they were bad enough, hate to think what these guys are up too. Ring harmanswater Chinese , even that’s only 4 star so still not the best in terms of hygiene but better than bloody 1 😂 what are they even doing to get 1!

I actually went next door for fish and chips but they are "cash only" so I ended up ordering from J3. Chatting to the guy there, the place went under new ownership in November 2023, so very recently! I ordered crispy chilli chicken and egg fried rice. Although the dish had red chillies in it, it was not hot (in spice) at all, however it was quite a pleasant dish and a good portion size. Although it's hard to judge fairly on just one dish, I was only eating for me so there you go! I was not blown away by the meal but, conversely I ate all of it and it seemed better than the J3 (or even Forest Chinese before that) of old, which was inconsistent at best. My favourite Chinese is still easily Dragon House in Birch Hill, but the J3 seems better under new management.
