Lovely food. If only food hygiene rating was at least a 4 we'd go often.

I rarely leave negative reviews and give businesses the benefit of the doubt but the food I collected from Tangs on Friday 29th December was shockingly bad! To be fair, the crispy duck my partner had was quite reasonable but the sweet and sour chicken balls I ordered were UTTERLY shocking! There is NO WAY that they had just been cooked...the chicken inside was virtually solid and dried out like it had been sitting in a fridge for 3 or 4 days. Out of the 9/10 pieces I found 3 that weren't too nasty but chucked the rest out. Even the cat, who found one on my plate in the kitchen, couldn't stomach it and discarded it on the kitchen floor. The sweet and sour sauce was fine. Often the only way that management discover that their kitchens are letting them down is for someone to complain and, as Brits we rarely do this, so now is the time to review your kitchen procedures before your reputation is harmed further. Your "Scores on the Doors" visit must be pending so time for action, guys!!!!

Had a lovely all you can eat meal here for our Christmas eve lunch. Loved it, the service and staff were great, the kids loved the serving robot, and the food was lovely. Don't need to eat for a few weeks now ? would definitely go again.

Very nice, tasty food, 1st time trying Thai food didn't disappoint. Thought the robot serving food was great fun ?

Service extremely quick and friendly. Nice people. Food tasty and plentiful. The dessert is hit and miss but not a key part of my meal. I would definitely recommend. Good for karaoke too apparently!

I'd not been to Tang for several years. When a nearby event finished, our group of four remembered this restaurant and decided it was time to return. The restaurant is a bit of a Tardis. You descend stairs as you enter, turn the corner and bam, you are facing a very large and smart restaurant. It always used to be smart, now it seems extra smart. We were greeted politely and then guided to our table. Prawn crackers were already on the table along with some sauce. What a nice touch. My immediate impression was how charming and attentive the staff were. Everything was so genuine and friendly, when we arrived, during the meal and when we left. We chose fixed menu P. In the past, the main focus of the restaurant was a large help-yourself buffet. Buffet is still offered once a week, I forget when, but we experienced seated dining with service at the table. The food was excellent and staff checked that we were happy with how things are going. Our drinks and tea were regularly topped up without fuss. Great food and great staff made for a very happy evening. We did have one surprise. It was a big surprise. I will not mention it here so you too can have a surprise when your food is brought to the table. You can look forward to it. The food portions were very generous but as the quality was so good we had to try to finish everything and then climb the stairs as we left. It was well worth it. The management clearly has worked very hard to keep the Tang operating at the highest quality of service and food and I can commend them on a job very well done. I will be back sooner rather than later.

Restaurant: It was empty so the atmosphere was non-existent. Food was good - roast pork was the highlight. Service was amusing - they use a robot.Takeaway: Best Chinese in Basingstoke (of the ones we've tried). Shredded smoked chicken is superb.

Our new go-to place to celebrate, the food and service are both amazing. The set menus provide more than enough food for 4 people and the staff are very friendly. Highly Recommend!
You have to see the robot waiter!!!Very impressive.She/he/it talks more than my ex wife, and about the same level of intelligence......cheers Greg Hall LR MRICS MCIOB MASI MICE and Architect.

Excellent! we were a table for 4 people. Superb service and the food was very tasty, hot and delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed by all. The robot was a delight and even came out singing Happy Birthday to myself, and carried a beautiful ice cream with a candle. Well done Tang - we will be back soon ! Thank you
