Asia Palace in Duisburg

So unfriendly...I will never go there.

I always enjoy going there. The food is incredibly fresh and delicious. Everything is always hot, and everything from the grill is fantastic. They also have a great selection of drinks.

Good price for buffet and drinks, big choice of drinks 🥤👍🏼 Unfortunately, the advantages ends here. Food quality is poor. Ready food is staying for TOO LONG there. Salads, sushi, vegetables are wilted. Food that needs to be cooked is cooked with TOO MUCH OIL, you can feel it at every bite. We took the same amount of food as always, but we were full after first plate, so that was unusual and strange. Most likely because it was made with huge amount of oil, and maybe outdated. Also you feel taste of bitterness after any food. Concluding, it was the WORST all you can eat experience ever.

For an all-you-can-eat place, it's okay. But what's noticeable is that the VAT for the restaurant industry was reduced, yet they've raised the price here by €1.00.

Not recommended... Food was lukewarm and had been sitting in the display case for far too long... For me, it was the first and last time 👎🤮

It was my first time eating at a Chinese restaurant, so I was very surprised by all the delicious food they had to offer.

It's too crowded, too loud. Guests are eating more than they can handle and vomiting in the toilet.

It's like a bistro! But the price per person is like a 5-star restaurant. The staff are incredibly unfriendly! We didn't even see a smile. The toilets were rusty, smelled awful, and even the lights didn't work properly. The tables and floor were filthy! There was only one person there to clear the tables, but she never came to our table! We had to clear it ourselves, and they want almost €40 for that??

We were very satisfied. We've been to many all-you-can-eat buffets, and Asia Xi is among the better ones. The selection of drinks and sushi, in particular, impressed us. The food was always hot and delicious. The selection was also good. At the fresh grill buffet, we felt the meat selection was limited. The squid wasn't well-prepared and was very rubbery. However, our daughter really enjoyed the lamb chops. The many flavors of ice cream and soft serve were also a hit with our family. It was very clean and well-organized, and the service was first-class. The restaurant was about three-quarters full, but it wasn't too loud. We were able to have a good conversation. We will definitely come back.

The food was very varied and delicious. You could put the seafood on a plate, and it was cooked and fried before being brought to your table. The selection of drinks was also very large, and unlimited drinks were included in the price. Overall, definitely worth a visit.

Fantastic Chinese buffet with an excellent selection! We had a wonderful visit to this Chinese restaurant, primarily because of the outstanding buffet. The selection was impressive, offering a wealth of authentic and delicious dishes, from appetizers to main courses and desserts. Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care. There truly was something for everyone, and we were able to sample a wide variety of flavors. Although it was a buffet and there was no direct table service, the staff was very attentive and kept the buffet area clean and well-stocked at all times. The drinks were also very good and complemented the dining experience. This restaurant is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to enjoy a rich and high-quality Chinese buffet. The quality and variety of the food make it a must-visit. We are very satisfied and will gladly return!

It was amazing 👏 every thing was very delicious😋

A reasonably nice place. But the food was cleared away at 9:50 PM even though they're open until 10:30 PM. I found a hair in my sushi—outrageous! I want my money back. The hygiene wasn't great either. The spoons weren't clean, but the cutlery was dirty. Really embarrassing 😞 Would I recommend it? NO

It's really cheeky that the place says they have to clear up by 10:30 pm, but they've already cleared away the food an hour earlier. That's not what I call service.

I was there with my family today. What I really liked was the selection of drinks. Otherwise, I won't say much because I don't want to offend anyone. Everyone should have their own experience. But it's definitely not comparable to Asia Star Food, where I usually go. Today I wanted to try something different and regretted not going to my usual place.

We've been there 30 times since the reopening, and the food, drinks, and service have always been good. We've also never had a problem paying in advance. It's just that some people stuff themselves and leave. Now they come back and at least pay. What's noticeable is that with each visit, the clientele, the dining experience (if you can even call it that anymore), the noise level, and the hygiene in the restrooms have steadily and drastically deteriorated. You feel increasingly uncomfortable and check that all the zippers on your jackets are still closed. On our visit on December 26, 2025, at 6:00 PM, we only looked out the windows (a clan party on the right side) and at what was going on outside. It felt more like being in Kabul or Kolkata. We had to shout at each other to agree that we couldn't put up with it and went to another restaurant. Unfortunately, we can no longer recommend this place for people who want to enjoy a civilized and peaceful meal.

The food is generally just OK, HOWEVER... this place is a hidden gem for people who love seafood. Giant prawns and scallops for grilling without having to fight anyone for them, because the locals are only going for the (cheap) precooked dishes! In Asia these would have been gone in minutes. Just for these it's great value for money, though honestly the rest of the selection is just so-so.

The food is delicious, but unfortunately it's too crowded in the evenings.

Absolutely catastrophic, I've never experienced anything like it! Raw meat was served, and not for the first time! The toilets were filthy! We all vomited after our visit! Absolutely not recommended! We'd rather not show people the pictures of the toilets! A report will definitely be filed with the health department.

It was lovely 🎄 I'd love to do it again ☺️🫶

Some of the food was cold, some of the chicken tasted like rubber, and the chocolate fountain was out of order. If it weren't so expensive, it would be perfectly fine, since drinks are included and there's more than enough choice.

Many meats were undercooked, and the food was lukewarm, if at all. It was the worst restaurant I've ever been to. The service was so-so; my half-full plate disappeared suddenly, and many empty plates took ages to return! The clientele was very rude and lacked manners! The noise level was unbearable! 25/12/25 2:30 PM

I can only give this restaurant one star. The service deserves zero, as it's simply nonexistent. You have to pay €38 per person right at the entrance before eating, and then you're given 2.5 hours to eat at your table. There's no cutlery on the table, and no waiters to bring you drinks. You have to get bottles from refrigerators. You have to pile up your used, dirty dishes to be collected later… The food itself contains a lot of deep-fried items. The sushi looked very dry. The food lacked flavor. I missed many dishes. Not a single pork dish was offered. That was a real shame… Overall, it's an absolute mass-production operation with no service whatsoever. The noise level in the large hall made conversation impossible. I paid €76 for two people. I paid €61 for two people at a Croatian restaurant with high-quality food and service. That included three alcoholic drinks per person. We will not be going back to Asia Xi or recommending it to anyone!

The toilets, however, need to be cleaned regularly; they are absolutely filthy.

The food was great and the service was excellent. The cleanliness of the toilets left much to be desired.

I don't understand the hate from the people here. I was really sad when the Asia Palace closed and happy that it reopened under a different name. We went to eat today on October 5th, 2024 and the food is great, tastes just as good as before, great selection of drinks. If you don't like it, go to a restaurant for 400 euros.

That's really the last time we'll be there. We thought we'd give the place another chance, but unfortunately, it's getting worse and worse... the staff are awful... it completely ruins your appetite. We even got up to clean our table ourselves because the lady who was supposed to be serving us clearly didn't want to work. 😂 Well, I can't say anything positive except for the drinks, which were amazing! I'd give them 5 stars! 💪🏼 Instead, take your time and go to Essen Asia Zushi.

The drinks selection is excellent; there should be something for almost everyone. The food is good too. But I have to say, I've seen cleaner toilets at train stations.

Large selection of food. The quality isn't anything special, though. Draft beer is included in the price, as much as you want! Therefore, the price/performance ratio is absolutely fine.

Absolutely worth the price 🤩 paid €118 for 3 adults and 1 child, such a massive selection of different meat, fish and vegetables that can be grilled just for you with your choice of sauce! Amazing choice of good quality and unique sushi, and amazing variance of traditional Chinese cuisine 😋 with lots of veggies if your feeling healthy 👍 in addition there was a large selection of different desserts like fruit, cakes and ice cream, and unlimited drinks - tea, coffee, fizzy drinks, beer and much more. Absolutely one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to as the food is on top, the interior design is incredible, and super child friendly with a medium sized soft play area!

As always, we were very satisfied with the food and drinks. Due to the number of guests, it was very noisy, making conversation difficult at times. But we'd gladly come again.

Awesome restaurant, I'd love to come back again.

We went there with our children and grandchildren for our 30th wedding anniversary. Everyone enjoyed it.

Definitely better than expected. All-you-can-eat can be awful, but the food was good quality, replenished quickly, and served hot. The selection of food and drinks is also truly enormous. Our older child loved the playground. Unfortunately, they were also thrilled with the machines right in front of it (claw machine and similar). It's a shame that they didn't ask us at the beginning if we were familiar with the place, as we had to figure things out on our own (whether it was the flow of drinks and the live cooking stations, or even just finding our way around, since we needed the changing room very quickly). Unfortunately, they also didn't ask if we needed a high chair, so we had to get one ourselves later. The woman who asked us was simply gone too quickly.

The food is mediocre at best. The men's toilet is broken and leaking water. I reported the problem to a staff member, and they just walked away! Otherwise, it's pretty packed. It's ridiculously loud and overpriced!!

Huge selection Lots of meat to grill fresh, sushi and Asian classics, and dessert. Something for everyone. Buffet with drinks €34. The prices have increased quite a bit in recent years. And in my opinion, the quality of the food has declined considerably. We went there again today after a long time, and I admit my enthusiasm was limited. But the staff was very friendly. Everything was clean. But unfortunately, it doesn't taste as good as it used to.

A restaurant this large should at least have its own parking lot, and the service leaves much to be desired.

Everything was great, we'd love to come back.

Terrible restaurant. We celebrated our child's birthday. All the food tasted like it was from the day before yesterday. Plus, I had to register for a large group of people, and they completely forgot about it. They seated everyone like they were in school...I don't recommend it.

A complete rip-off! The food was average, but the grilled meat was overcooked and practically burnt, and we waited 40 minutes for it! The noise level next to the children's playroom was unbearable; I thought they were stabbing each other! But the worst part was the toilets: clogged, covered in urine, and broken. They were so dry you couldn't even dry your hands, the air pump was broken, and there was no toilet paper! It was on par with a bad train station toilet. For that price, it's a complete no-go! Never again!

Unfortunately, the food is often only lukewarm, but otherwise it's super delicious.

The quality of the food and drinks is very good. The ambiance could be better. Due to the size of the premises, it can be a bit noisy due to other guests.

Super delicious and a lunch buffet from 12 to 3 pm including all drinks for only €14.90! A huge selection!! 👍😷😋😋 Now it's December 2nd, 2025 And the price has more than doubled, wow!!!! 🧐🧐🧐😂😂

The food was partly cold. We were a group of 25 people, so naturally, more talking than eating took place. After 3.5 hours, we were told we had to leave or pay an additional 4 euros per person. This was outrageous, as the restaurant was relatively empty. The toilets were awful. You either had to wear diapers or go outside in the bushes.

Disgusting! That's all I can say. My husband and daughter got food poisoning. The behavior of most of the visitors matches the hygiene standards – abysmal! Never again.

Uncomfortable atmosphere, some of the food tasted like nothing... If you just want to stuff yourself and get drunk on beer, this is the place for you...

There's nothing wrong with the food, nor with the selection of drinks. However, the staff's behavior was completely unacceptable. We had a Christmas party and reserved a table – for the usual three hours. But after those three hours were up, we were practically shown the door, as an extension wasn't possible. Without any warning, we were told: "Time's up, you have to leave now." My colleagues and I found that outrageous.

Plenty of choice. Quieter today, being a weekday. But everyone was as nice and friendly as ever. The food was good.

Everything was fine again. We'll definitely come back.

This was my second time there. The food is very good. The selection of dishes and drinks is plentiful. It's quite large and crowded, but there weren't long queues. What I don't like so much is the clientele.

Awesome food and lots of drinks option

It was a great, inexpensive restaurant; everything was perfect. I highly recommend it. I'll invite my friends over. The atmosphere was peaceful, and there's a dedicated children's play area.

The food was really good. All you can eat for €33 including soft drinks and beer was a great price. The only downside was that the chocolate fountain wasn't running the whole time and the chocolate didn't look very appetizing. The noise level was also high; it's not suitable for meeting up with people you haven't seen in a long time.

The food was very good as always 😋 The service was friendly and pleasant. The plates were cleared quickly. We were very satisfied. My daughter only complained that the chocolate fountains were unfortunately out of stock 😅

Fantastic place, the food is top-notch! All you can eat and drink is a great offer! I'll definitely be back.

We were there for the first time today, and unfortunately, it will also be our last. We've tried many different buffets, and this one was the worst of them all. The food was lukewarm, small pieces with more breading than meat. We were there for over an hour, and in that time, only one dish was refilled, meaning many items were simply unavailable. What was there was sometimes inedible—too dry, burnt, or too salty. A lot of it was just pre-made or canned food. We sat in the room to the right of the entrance, which was extremely noisy due to screaming children from the indoor playground. You really had to watch your step, otherwise, you'd quickly find yourself bumping into a child. The only positive aspects were the selection of drinks and the service. All in all, too expensive for the food offered.

Very nice atmosphere. The food was very, very good (except for the salmon, which wasn't so great). I'd gladly come back again ;)

Super nice and delicious as always!

The food in November 2025 was only half as good as before the reopening. Many items were undercooked and oversalted from the deli counter. The restrooms were filthy; all four out of five were broken, and one was out of order. It's no longer worth our while to go there. (What a shame)

The food is delicious and there's a wide selection. Unfortunately, it's extremely loud. We were there with children, and even they found the constant shouting annoying. It's almost impossible to have a conversation without shouting, but the food is very clean and tasty.

We went there for lunch. We've tried several other buffets at different restaurants, and we really enjoyed this one. The staff was super friendly, and the food was delicious. We'll definitely be back.

The first impression was already strange; we had to pay first, and then we were shown to our table. It's a self-service restaurant, basically. There was a large selection of drinks in refrigerators. We were offered a generous buffet. The food was okay; the fried shrimp were very tasty 😋. The buffet was constantly being replenished. There were many customers, and they weren't very polite or well-behaved. We found it unacceptable that they were clearing away plates that were already full. The noise level was very high, almost unbearable. It's more like a cafeteria, and the area around the play corner is like an indoor playground. We prefer quiet and will avoid this restaurant in the future.

Everything was great: good food, good atmosphere, friendly staff!

We've eaten there several times before, and it's always been great. Unfortunately, today we were seated in that large, train station-like hall behind the buffet. It was far too loud; you couldn't even have a decent conversation. I hope next time we'll be seated downstairs to the left or right of the main entrance. It's much more pleasant to eat there.

The service and staff were great, and I also liked the ambiance. I'm of two minds about the food: the pre-prepared hot dishes were good, but unfortunately mostly just lukewarm, and the sushi was less impressive. The desserts were truly awful (except for the fresh fruit) – convenience food, almost tasteless. The Mongolian grill offers a great selection, but the food was poorly prepared: the meat and fish were completely overcooked (the beef was tough, the octopus dry and rubbery, both inedible), and the thinly sliced ​​vegetables were burnt and partially charred. A real shame.

Very good service, customer-oriented. Food 10 out of 10

Large selection of drinks and food

The only thing I have to complain about is that the cake for dessert was still so frozen that even the chocolate from the fountain on top of it hardened immediately.

Very tasty cuisine. This is not the first time we have visited this establishment. I recommend it👍

Cold food, simply disgusting. It doesn't even look good here, and the food is cold and tasteless.

Unfortunately, some of the food was cold. It tasted very good. The service was friendly, and they immediately saw what was ready to be cleared away.

The food could have been a bit hotter, but the taste was great👍

Always delicious, there's a great play area for the kids, and the food is always good.

Not a particularly nice ambiance. However, all-inclusive with branded drinks. Excellent value for money.

The ambiance is very nice no matter where you sit. Sure, when it's full, you'll have to wait a bit and it'll be louder, but that's the case everywhere with a buffet. I got a bit of everything. The only downside was that the milk fountain was out or broken again... otherwise, it's a paradise! Despite the line to get in, we were at our tables in less than 5 minutes. You have to pay in advance, but then everything's included except for schnapps, various beers, various colas and juices, as well as iced teas and coffee variations.

In my opinion, the food was a bit too greasy, over-fried, and arrived too cooked after the grilling. We enjoyed the croquettes and sweet potatoes. There's also a wide selection of drinks. The price per person is €33 gross. This review was submitted on a Friday evening at 8:00 PM.

The food was generally delicious. Unfortunately, some items at the buffet were lukewarm, not hot. Two pieces of beef that came to the table from the grill were cooked all the way through. The noise level was reasonably good, but at times the number of guests made it too loud to have a normal conversation. The value for money is excellent 👍

I ate there on Thursday, October 16, 2025, and it was absolutely delicious! 😊 The cashier was super nice and welcoming – I'd like to thank her again for that. I'll definitely be back! 💛

I love the food at Asia XY! The dishes are always freshly prepared, incredibly delicious, and lovingly presented. The fried noodles and fresh sushi rolls are especially delicious! The portions are generous, and the prices are absolutely fair. The staff is always friendly and accommodating – you feel welcome. Takeout is also super convenient, and the food is always prepared quickly. For me, it's clearly one of the best Asian snack bars in the area!

This is my first time here. And the food was cold. And tasteless. Drinks are simply cleared away even though you're still standing at the buffet. Friendliness is appreciated.

Everything was great! Always happy to come back

It doesn't look that great from the outside, but it's nicely decorated inside. There is a very large selection of delicious food and drinks, which are already included in the price

At first glance, everything is very beautiful. But when you sit and look closely, many places raise a question in your head. The restaurant is large, not cheap, but the tables and in many places, both leather and tabletop, are all peeling and scratched. Food - Sushi is edible, not like in other places, dry and overdried rice. Unfortunately, there were no famous crayfish. Everything else is delicious and fresh, it seems. Desserts are beautiful. Ice cream for every taste. Drinks, well, sooo many, I really liked that there are large refrigerators with drinks in one row, your eyes just run wild. The staff is friendly. I really liked the girls who clean the tables. The hall itself is quiet and calm. But we were on weekdays, I don’t know about the weekend. For food, 5 stars out of 5, staff 5, only 4 for the fact that the chef of the restaurant is stingy with money to clean the ugly leather country tables. 5 to everyone except the boss😀😀😀 But thanks anyway.

Warning!!!!! The food was very dry and not fresh. Very expensive at almost €35 per person, and then no service. Unfortunately, I couldn't eat yesterday. The sweets were not fresh and not refrigerated. Danger of poisoning!!!!!!!!! Never again!!!!!!

Disappointing - never again The three of us were in the Asia XE in Duisburg to the all-you-can-eat (€ 100) and have very regretted the visit. In the restaurant it was extremely warm because the air conditioning was deliberately switched off - allegedly so that it can "cool down". This made the stay uncomfortable because you could sweat while sitting. The food was unfortunately too crispy, too dry and disappointing. For this price and under these conditions, neither quality nor comfort is correct. Unfortunately no recommendation.

The staff was very unfriendly. I personally didn't find the food tasty.

Superb quality, a rich, unrivaled selection. Everyone is sure to find something they like here. Highly recommended. Only the clientele leaves something to be desired. People in tracksuits or shorts and barefoot in slippers is inappropriate for such a classy buffet restaurant. A certain dress code should be observed. Otherwise, everything is top-notch!

We've been there several times, but today we agreed it would be our last visit. The food was often empty, it took ages to refill or restock, the tuna at the salad bar looked like it could walk and had a strange color, food (fried rice) sat on the floor on the counter for ages before it was wiped away, and one chocolate fountain was apparently broken today. We don't even want to get into the noise. Our 4-year-old loves to play, but what was going on today was just unacceptable... just screaming, wrestling, incredibly loud noises, and a much too crowded children's play area with no manners at all. At times, I really thought to myself, "Where have we ended up today?" Indoor paradise for €80 😂😂

Title: Unfortunately, a very unpleasant and unfriendly experience We were at the restaurant with family and friends and were looking forward to a pleasant evening together. Unfortunately, this was significantly marred by the behavior of one of the employees. The woman who was responsible for clearing the tables seemed very unfriendly from the start, with no smile on her face. She yelled at us several times because our children were supposedly too loud – even though there were other families with children in the restaurant, and she didn't object to their noise. What was particularly shocking was that she even yelled at our three-year-old boy just because he was playing with a napkin at another table. We were also asked to pick up items she had dropped herself. This all created a very unpleasant atmosphere and, for us, was not something we should expect as a guest. The food was fine, but friendliness, respect, and a professional tone should be a given in service – especially in a family-friendly environment. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back. We had a large table with 15 people.

Super friendly staff who were accommodating to our requests. Unfortunately, some guests couldn't behave and mistook the buffet for a fight, which I found very unpleasant. Perhaps this restaurant could also consider charging extra for food that is pointlessly scooped up and left uneaten.

One of the few all-you-can-eat Chinese restaurants where the food is high-quality, fresh, and delicious. However, when the place is packed, some families act as if they're the only people in the place, chatting loudly and without shame. Parking is also only available in the Kaufland parking lot, as the restaurant's parking space is very limited.

It's a bit like a canteen, but the food is good and you have a wide selection of drinks

The translation in German: Everything is excellent. Everyone is happy. All drinks are delicious and included in the price. There's no music, so it's very loud. The food selection is extensive.

YES! I got takeout last night, which was late at 9:30 PM. Two fried noodles with duck and one with beef, vegetables, and egg, and I have to say it was delicious and the portions were generous. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Great all-you-can-eat Great value for money

Everything was great, service and food were top-notch! I'd love to come back!

I simply recommend it. Everything was delicious, the staff was very friendly, and the restaurant was very quiet and clean.

We were there for the first time today, having made an online reservation yesterday. We received a friendly welcome, had to pay immediately, and were shown to our table. There was a wide selection, from salads you could put together yourself, dishes that were already prepared but kept warm, to freshly prepared items that were then brought to your table. There were also lots of sweets to choose from and a huge selection of drinks, all included in the price (Coke, Fanta, Sprite, water, juices, and even beer). There were five of us together, and we all enjoyed ourselves; we would come back. The only thing I personally didn't like was the toilet. It was okay, not dirty, but the toilet brush was anything but hygienic. The toilet seat was somehow very loose. The cover on the other toilet was missing from the flush. Something was broken off one of the soap dispensers, so the soap just ran down the dispenser. But if you put aside the impression from the toilet, it was a really great experience and it was delicious, everyone was friendly, and the empty plates and bottles were always picked up from the table.

Very tasty - always happy ☺️ parking is just not so good

We were satisfied with everything, very nice atmosphere and delicious food
