Walked to the area from a nearby hotel looking for somewhere to have dinner. Saw this place had…read moresome nice outdoor seating and went inside. I waited a while before a server came, by then I was ready to order. I was surprised they did not have fountain drinks, only warm bottles of soda. After I ordered, another guy was seated outside. He sat there a while without anyone going to his table and he left. My appetizer took about 20 minutes to come out. I ate half of it with the intention of taking the rest of it with me for later. When the lasagna I ordered was brought to the table, I had been there for almost an hour. I also had to stop the server from taking away my partially eaten appetizer. I was expecting a slice of lasagna, but it appears they made them one at a time in a skillet in the oven. It was served extremely hot, enough that they put a sticker on the skillet saying so. The cheese around the edge was burned, and it ended up being a meat, cheese, and noodle mess. I ate as much as I wanted to, then waited for my server to come back so I could get the bill and box. Eventually, I was one of only 2 tables left in the place, and none of the servers were visible. I saw there was a way to pay with my phone, so I just ate what I was going to take with me, paid, and left just under 2 hours after I originally arrived. Far too long for 1 person to have 1 appetizer and 1 entrée.

By the menu, I thought this would be an upscale experience, it was not. The other food was okay, I enjoyed my husband's lasagna, but again. There were maybe 4 big bites at a pretty steep price tag. With the exception of the lasagna (which was still overpriced), it tasted like cheap eats. I do not wish to be mean, I just cannot believe they're charging those prices for that quality and quantity of food. I truly hope others have better experiences!

They even help us pick out, or specially cook gluten-free options for my Nan. Buffet is a misleading term, what you are presented with is a menu of every Chinese starter you can possibly think of, yes that includes crispy duck! You can order as many dishes as you like before moving to your main (if you have space left) and another great selection of dishes. This 'buffet' only costs £15 a head and the staff are accommodating, friendly and fantastically welcoming. Thoroughly recommended!

Since it is between the KFC and a tattoo parlour, and generally in an area full of chain restaurants I have walked past this place without much of a glance. Luckily a friend recommended it to me when I said I hand't found a good Chinese place in this city yet. We went for the all-you-can-eat dinner buffet and everything was good with some standout items like the crispy shredded beef and the chicken wings.

Tangs offer a great lunch buffet menu. Everything you order from the menu is freshly made when you order it, its not out for grabs on plates and portables hobs like most other places due when there is a buffet. The variety of food at the restaurant is very impressive considering its location, and the food never fails to impress. The waiters and waitresses are all very nice and pleasant and make you feel comfortable and relaxed. Perhaps the only downside of the restaurant is that its neighbour is KFC

Don't miss the onion straws, they were addictive. I was disappointed in the mozzarella with beetroot, way too much beetroot that overpowered the dish.

My children have certainly told me that some of their favourite shows were ones we've seen at The Point.
