Reviews for Tang Bar in San Francisco, CA
This is a complicated Resteraunt to review. This is my third visit and My comments are consistent with all three visits. The... selection is excellent and the freshness and variety is the best I have seen. The flavor is super addictive and the mealexcellent. The spice level is what makes this restaurant a challenge I want to be clear I’m not struggling with the spicelevel. I’m challenged by the inconsistency in the spice level between dishes and between visits. One day it’s spicy andawesome and another day it’s too spicy to eat. My next visit I’ll ask for the spice on the side so I can control the heat. Be attentive that this is a buffet so you can order but find no tables when they are crowded. They seem to be getting morepopular each time I go. Read more
Food: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Overall: A good noodle option in the mall that offers variety and personalization albeit... a little on the pricey side since it's pay by weight. The extended review... Food: 3.5/5 - The selection of meats, noodles,and veggies is good. Of course the price can be easily high if you go for the heavier stuff (of course this is noodles). Thebroth is tasty and definitely compliments all of the chosen toppings. Service: 4/5 - Not a lot of service other than thecashier but they are all very friendly. Ambiance: 4/5 - The seating isn't too tight and the interior is pretty well decorated. Read more
Nice concept and great food, only issue we had was it was MUCH spicier then expected. We got the "Just a Kick" so, careful... underestimating the spice here! Other then that the food was great, got the fresh ramen noodles and shrimp, fish cakes alldelicious! Ran us about $20 but it was enough for two. Other cons were they isnt much seating when busy, so you may have to sitcafeteria style. Also for anyone with balance problems, carrying the giant bowl back to the table can be a little nervewracking Read more
This is a great place for customizing your own hot pot! They have so many options of meats, veggies, noodles, etc. The... difference between this place and typical hot pot restaurants is you can put as little or as much of an ingredient as you wantrather than having to order a whole plate of one thing. I always get the Szechuan spicy broth. It's got great flavor and is theperfect level of spiciness for me. Finding a table can take a while during peak hours especially if you have a larger party butyou should be able to before they finish cooking your food since it can take a little while. Read more
Affordable and so delicious! I had an assortment of meats and veggies with fresh ramen noodles in chicken broth and it was... delicious! For $11 I got wonderful, filling soup with different types of meats. Just what I needed for lunch on a windy day! Read more
Tried with Sichuan flavored soup bowl. It was very tasty but spicy. They serve good food. They have decorated inside real nice.... But it was dirty in my all 2 visits. Very bad smell was coming from table top. They put an open trash inside seating area, whichalso was foul smelling. Read more
I love the selection of items they have here too choose from. It's can be a good thing or a bad thing by charging based on... weight, but definitely some good food. I believe it was $14.99 per pound. They have several broth options as well as dryseasoning options. We tried the hot and sour broth and the szchuan spicy one. The szchuan spicy does have a kick and a goodnumbness to it I am looking forward to trying the dry seasoning next time. Read more
Came in on Saturday for a late lunch, they were consistently busy. Lots of choices, vegetarian friendly. Pick whatever you like... and everything is $14.99/lbs, they even have a scale before the register so you can weigh it yourself. Only issue is sincecustomer pick their own foods, I saw couple people took things out of their bowl and throw them back to the fridge which madethose food cross contaminated. Read more
