About Tang Chao Chinese Restaurant

City-centre Southampton, so handy if you're already out with the pushchair and someone's hungry. It's hotpot and Chinese comfort food — pick-your-own-toppings malatang around £13, beef brisket ramen about £11, a £32 dinner hotpot, plus a buffet with plenty of variety that families rate highly. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, unlimited drinks, and cold dishes that regulars single out. The mood is warm and casual rather than hushed, and the staff are usually friendly and quick to top you up; bring cash, as there's often a discount for it. Worth knowing: peanuts have turned up in the ramen without warning, so flag allergies before you order, and opinions on cleanliness and service swing a bit — one week people call it the finest hotpot in town, the next they grumble. Regulars still go weekly.
