Kachina - Southampton

We had a great time. we had the buffet. everything was delicious and the waitress was very friendly. would definitely recommend it.

We came here for a birthday meal. it was very quiet with excellent fast service and delicious food. beautiful atmosphere and very pleased we came here. we were very fully appreciated after our starters so that we could order a pudding instead of a main....We would definitely recommend.

We have been loyal customers to this restaurant/collection for many years and saw that it changed the hands a few times, but recently the quality of the food has changed, I remember telling me about the previous owner, it would change the hands again. sadly, the new owners do not continue to have the excellent standard of food we know and love. the first thing that was tonight was that they forgot one of our courts, so they had to call and come back to collect that. the noodles burned, but were not crispy, they had like a smokey aroma for them, so maybe woollen oil was too hot I am not sure, but were not pleasant. the yung chow fried rice had a soggy texture, and we didn't eat it. but the satay huh, kung po and my suppe were good. I really hope this was only a bad night, but will think twice about the order of them in the future.

I brought my old daughter to the tasty bite here, we had the buffet option and loved that huhn satay so much we had extras. it is nice to be in the position to be as many appetizers as they want, so they can try many. we ended up with satay, ripening, seaweed and brewed toast, all coming on a sharing plate. they can order as many appetizers as they want, including suppening and eating pancakes, but are limited to a pornstar. our net came with rice or noodles. we both wanted the egg frying to get such a sharing dish. that was after all the appetizers, suppe and escape! the staff was clearly very busy, so I wouldn't immerse for a fast meal, but it was new years day and they were very friendly and apologetic. the word of the intention on the parking lot. there is a parking space behind them, but they only have to park in the first rows while they are entering. I thought the parking place would be behind the restaurant from the side of it. there are cameras that issue fines when parking in the gym.

Picked the restaurant as we'd been shopping nearby and looked like a local place to try. After looking at the menu we opted for the buffet menu. We walked into the empty restaurant and were sat next to the bar. From where i was sat...there was at least ikea candles that had seen better days dumped on the bar and bottles of cleaner within easy reach which wasn't something should be on show inches away from a customer or potential child. After ordering a few starters and a round of drinks which were clearly from the soda bottle, the starters arrived on a small platter plate. The smoked chicken was very sweet and quite dry I was concerned that I'd break a tooth! The satay prawn was ok but the chicken tasted slimy so I immediately spat it out. The seaweed tasted greasy. My biggest bugbear was the #waiter took our orders still in his coat!! Mongolia lamb was dried out and the occupying sauce was salty and overbearing taste of star anise... this was swapped and I was asked if I wanted a different sauce so suggested plum and was told that they didn't do it? So I used the sweet sour sauce instead.. I then wanted to cut our losses and go but my husband wanted to give them the benefit of doubt and even then they don't give you a fresh plate for mains whereas I was worried that the meal would repeat on me so I just ordered jasmine tea. During the wait I went to the toilet up the very narrow and sloping staircase and got to the landing dimly lit by what I can only describe as some kind of lurid uv light which possibly wouldn't have looked out of place in a brothel!! The toilet cubicle you definitely couldn't swing a rat in, let alone a cat in. I finished washing my hands and went towards the hand drier to be met by a dodgy string curtain and at least bottles of toilet cleaner just strewn on the floor with a plunger and other undesirable objects on the floor.
