What people are saying
Diners praise the service at Xai Xai's branches, and reviews repeatedly thank staff by name. Precious comes up most often: Tumisang (July 2026) wrote “Highly appreciate Precious. The best waitress for us”, and Tanaka (July 2026) said Precious's “service and hospitality is the reason why I come there”. Other reviewers single out Vanessa, Princess, Nicole and Mitchell for similarly attentive service.
Food praise centres on the chicken and seafood. Obinna (April 2026) ordered the chicken and calamari combo and found “Very flavorful flame grilled chicken with an amazing sauce”, and other reviewers highlight the prawns, garlic snails and generous chips.
Not every visit lands the same. Tatenda (February 2026) ordered the seafood paella and wrote that “The meal was bland and the rice was stale”, and another reviewer that year found the chips portion looked like a quarter of a potato. The restaurant now has branches at Ascot, Southern Cross Estate and Southern Comfort on Jaywick Road.
