Asia Paradise in Bochum

A fantastic selection of drinks and food. Delicious dishes… Clean, tidy buffet… Clean restrooms… We're thrilled with everything!

Sometimes the food is not so spicy.

If there were fewer stars, I would have given them! The warm food was cold, the pudding was instant and inedible! All in all, bad and too expensive!

Things have gotten better again. For a while, the food wasn't worth recommending, but now everything is as delicious as it used to be.

Simply a bad restaurant, overwhelmed and unfriendly. You make a reservation in advance, but you're stuck there and not allowed in. We don't even want to start on the food. I'd recommend going somewhere else.

Mass processing, unclean and totally loud

You can eat well here. The price-performance ratio is good. A very good selection of food and drinks. I'd be happy to come back.

A very large and varied selection of food and drinks. The food can be prepared live and then brought to your table by a robot. Some dishes weren't quite as warm. The taste is highly recommended.

The food is okay: a large selection and filling. The staff are also very friendly, but on weekends it gets too crowded for me, and the staff couldn't keep up with cleaning the tables.

Here you can find delicious Asian cuisine. Price-performance ratio is okay for lunch during the week.

Delicious, very large, worth it :)

A dream! Delicious buffet, very friendly service. The ambiance was okay and clean.

It was beautiful...a hair in the rice, not...

This restaurant, which offers delicious food with an unlimited concept, offers a less diverse menu during the day, but in the evenings, it offers a fantastic selection of grilled dishes and unique Chinese cuisine. We were pleased with both the quality of service and the delicious flavors.

This was our first time at Asia Paradise. We booked the buffet with a drinks package. I have to say, the buffet had a very, very large selection. I've never had such a selection in a restaurant before. The drinks selection was also fantastic. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the ambiance was perfect. We will definitely be back.

I've been there twice now, and I can't complain. It's usually difficult to have a conversation at that volume.

So, the food is okay. A very large, delicious selection. Even if you only take two small portions, you won't be able to try everything. Three visits are better. The fried noodles were a bit dry. Empty plates are cleared quickly. The butter biscuit is delicious. But the ice cream is a dream. Unfortunately, I find it very unhygienic. Everyone touches the ice cream spoon. The container with the water in which the spoon sits should be changed much more often. The water looks awful...

The best lunch buffet you can imagine! The selection is huge, fresh, and delicious. The value for money is simply outstanding – absolutely recommended!

It's very tasty there, a bit hectic, but all in all, OK. We were unlucky that someone at the next table was video chatting with their partner, and it was very loud, so we could barely talk.

Plenty of choice and delicious food. Especially the Mongolian section. There's an activity area for children. It's relatively noisy when there are lots of people.

Very nice Very accommodating Large selection of food at the buffet

One of the cleanest Chinese restaurants I have visited, in addition to the large size of the restaurant and the excellent service. I repeat, cleanliness comes first.

If you leave it, it's brought directly by little robots, not by staff. The ambiance is very spacious, and accordingly quite loud. You can book a drinks package for the buffet, which is definitely worth it.

Everything was very tasty, nice service, normal prices, and a good selection.

The food was delicious, and branded drinks were included in the price. We enjoy coming here.

Great food, huge selection. But the atmosphere isn't great (far too loud)!

One of the most luxurious restaurants in North Rhine-Westphalia. The food is very good, the place is spacious, and the service is excellent. It maintains the good quality of the food and the flavors are varied. I highly recommend it. It is a wonderful Asian experience.

Huge selection of food. All drinks included! Including Coke, Fanta, etc., branded drinks, as well as standard sparkling wine and beer. Fresh mussels, fish, meat, etc.

It's lost a lot of weight, and it used to be better. The selection hasn't changed. We were disappointed last time. 😞

Amazing selection. Everything is top-notch. The sushi and shrimp are amazing.

No, the noise level is like that of a train station.

The buffet offers excellent value for money. I personally prefer the times when the Mongolian buffet is offered in addition to the "regular" Chinese buffet. With this, you can put together your own uncooked vegetables and raw meat, as well as the sauce and the amount of sauce, on a plate. These items are then freshly prepared by a chef, visible to the guests. I only have two minor criticisms, which is why I rated this restaurant only 4 stars instead of 5. Firstly, the drink prices are higher than those of the restaurants in my area (I live in a neighboring town of Bochum). Secondly, finding parking is often difficult, as the restaurant usually has a lot of customers, and there are obviously not enough parking spaces for this "rush." Correction: We ate here a few days ago for the first time in over a year. Unfortunately, I have to say that the quality of the food has deteriorated significantly. The same unfortunately applies to the service. We had to wait a very long time, and even for the Mongolian food, which was specially prepared fresh, we had to wait over half an hour, even though there was no line when we dropped off our food. I think that's a real shame.

Unfortunately, it's different every time you visit. Sometimes it's delicious, sometimes it's unfortunately burnt. I wouldn't go on the weekend, I think the chef would be overwhelmed by the amount. During the week, it's been okay so far.

Price-performance ratio is very good 👍

Yes, price-performance ratio is simply great

I loved it so much workers were super nice everywhere I went. They were also smelling at me there was so nice.

Today I ate at the lunch buffet for the first time and I have to say I was extremely disappointed. I chose a variety of dishes. These included duck, chicken, small spring rolls, croquettes, breaded shrimp, beef with onions (although there were more overly thickly sliced onions than beef), and shrimp in sweet chili sauce. All the dishes were cold. My companions' food was also cold. When we told the waiter that the dishes were cold, we were told that the water in which the containers were sitting was boiling, so the food couldn't be cold. We were supposed to stir the food, but that wasn't possible with the duck, which, like the chicken, was sitting on a thick layer of onions. In my opinion, this meant that the heat couldn't reach the meat at all. Even after stirring, the food didn't get any warmer. The selection was good and plentiful. The dessert buffet was okay. There are various types of fruit, cookies, ice cream, tiramisu, jelly, baked bananas, baked pineapple, baked custard, cream puffs, two chocolate fountains with white and dark chocolate, etc. I've eaten here several times in the evenings, with the Mongolian buffet, and have always been satisfied. The selection is even larger in the evenings, and the food is delicious. If you eat at the buffet, you must order a drink; otherwise, there's a €2 surcharge. If you pile too much food on your plate and leave food unfinished, you'll be fined €5. But I haven't experienced that before.

Amazingly delicious food and a wide selection. All-you-can-eat with a drinks package is just €30. The sushi is top-quality. Everything is refilled every five minutes. The staff is exceptionally friendly. Family-friendly, as there's also a play area. Restrooms are spotless. A large selection of drinks is available. The food is very well prepared and brought to your table by robots. The only downside: the parking lots are always full.

Yes, definitely on all occasions.

Disappointing Service – Not a Recommendation We wanted to visit the restaurant around 9:30 p.m. – according to the opening hours, it should have been open until 10:30 p.m. But the receptionist rudely informed us that they were no longer accepting guests. No mention of changed kitchen hours, no apology – simply: "We're not accepting anyone else." This is not only disappointing, but also unprofessional. If a restaurant plans to stop serving guests early, this should be communicated clearly and transparently – ideally directly in the opening hours. This wastes time and ruins what should have been a pleasant evening. We will definitely not be coming back.

Very large selection of food. Very tasty food. Friendly staff.

Everything was great as always, we often eat there and are always very satisfied, but this time it felt like 40° in the restaurant because the air conditioning wasn't working. I hope it works next time because it was really unbearable.

The restaurant reminds me of large animal stables - noise, noise and more noise.

Totally fine. Delicious and good value for money.

We've been to many Asian restaurants, but we were impressed with this one. 5 stars all around.

I was there a while ago. The buffet food is dry and not as good as in higher-end restaurants. But the selection is quite large. The chocolate fountain and the entire dessert counter are very appealing to children.

Simply fantastic! 🔥 Delicious, fresh meat and a truly wide selection – there's truly something for everyone here. The store is huge and beautifully decorated, with a cool atmosphere and everything that goes with it. Highlight: The "I can do it" grill and drink taker are really fun! 😄🍤🍹 Great for families too – there's even a small play area for the kids. We'll definitely be back! 🙌

Sehr lecker. Gehe gerne dort hin essen.

Rude staff... Couldn't be worse. Not worth 1 star anymore

Conditional recommendation. There's an all-you-can-eat buffet. You have two hours. Everything is self-service. As far as I understand, drinks from the provided refrigerators are also included in the package. Everything I ate was delicious. And a very extensive and, in some cases, exotic selection! Criticisms: It's too big, too hectic, and too loud for me.

The quality of the food wasn't that great, and the temperatures also left a lot to be desired...

Very rich selection of food. The food is delicious and for different tastes. I didn't like the smell of cigarettes that permeated the dining area.

The fish meat (zebra, beef, lamb & chicken) was very tough and inedible, the rest was okay, like everywhere else...

It's like any other Chinese restaurant. Nothing special in terms of meat, fish, or vegetables. So, unfortunately, it's nothing special. The only thing I liked was the selection of drinks. Otherwise, it's okay. So, unfortunately, it doesn't get full stars.

Many choices taste very delicious

The best open buffet restaurant in North Rhine-Westphalia

We were there for the first time today, and we were thrilled. A huge buffet, and the Chinese dishes were hot. The Mongolian grill also offers a very large selection.

Very large selection of cold and hot dishes. I can recommend it.

Truly unfriendly staff. I've been a customer for years and never go back. The worst place I've ever been to, I wouldn't recommend it.

Good food just a little bit expensive.

We used to love coming here often...but now you sometimes have to wait 15 minutes on weekends with a reservation...then add the crowds at the buffet and the extreme noise...train station hall feeling

Horrible service!Place stinks!Dirty dishes!No parking places!In one word you can call this place ASIA HELL!

Really recommendable the food was delicious and the selection was plentiful

Worst experience of my life.Took one beer from the fridge and a toothless waiter came at me screaming as if I committed a horrible crime.They made a big scandal out of it.Of course I paid for it.Very unfriendly staff.Food overrated.Dirty plates.You cannot choose your personal flat rate.Very bad experience.The staff are most probably former shepherds or they simply took them from the side of the road and put them there as waiters.I strongly recommend to keep away from this so called "restaurant".

Actually delicious, but the waiter was very rude, saying there's no à la carte and lying to make a profit. What a pity.

Great, a wide range of dishes to choose from, and to suit everyone's taste

It was very tasty and there was a lot of choice...

We ate there yesterday for the first and last time. The taste was a disaster. The spring rolls were still frozen in the middle, the asparagus was only half peeled, the rice was far from fried, and gelatin cake isn't really my thing either... Visually, the selection is very appealing, but looks aren't everything. We definitely won't be returning, and we can't recommend this Asian paradise to anyone. I'd rather pay extra for the drinks, but the food was good.

The Chinese man at the entrance is a complete idiot. I've been going there for five years. Even though he had free tables, he wanted me to sit with the kids in a secluded spot, away from the other guests in the restaurant. Only he knows him. I politely asked him to sit at another table. There were plenty of free tables, and I had a reservation. He said we should just sit there if I didn't want to leave the village. I took my kids and left.

The meat isn't cooked well (poultry). The staff's friendliness leaves a lot to be desired. Won't be back.

Rich buffet at a reasonable price.

The food there is incredibly varied and delicious. The flat-rate drinks package is highly recommended, especially in summer. The service is mediocre. The atmosphere is rather poor: extremely loud and hectic. Hordes of children run and scream around. It also desperately needs better ventilation in summer so you don't sweat like crazy while eating. Based on the food alone, the restaurant is absolutely recommended—but only during the week and not on weekends due to the crowds.

It was very crowded, the food was delicious as always, but there were a lot of rude people. I think the couple next to us cheated out of paying.

We ate there for the first time yesterday. We were absolutely thrilled. The food was delicious, very clean, and the selection was great. The price/performance ratio was right. We'll definitely be back.

Was ok but the cook in the tea room needs to change and has no idea

I don't know where to start. Super delicious, huge selection, always hot, and a super nice atmosphere! I paid €32 for all you can eat and drinks, and it was worth every cent.

You shouldn't go on Sundays or holidays. It's incredibly loud. You can only shout at each other. The crowd isn't always appealing.

Einfach nur lecker und Grösse Auswahl.

TO GOOD TO GO Review: We've picked up To Good to Go portions from Asia Paradise several times in the evening for €5. It's like a surprise box with many different delicacies. The boxes are always well-filled and delicious. Pickup times are always arranged on time.

*Unfortunately disappointing – poor service* I went to the dinner buffet today. The food was okay, but the *service was a disaster*. During my entire stay, the table wasn't cleared once. When I tried to change money to use the ATM, the change was refused – very *child-unfriendly*. Furthermore, as a customer, I had to walk 20 meters to the cash register just to get my receipt myself. Overall, *not a hospitable experience* – that's not how I expect service. I won't be back.

Those who like to get into the hustle and bustle can certainly get their fill there

The food is great and there is something for every taste.

Saturday evening and a spontaneous idea: let's try the Asia Paradise! The buffet is clean, tidy, and plentiful. All the dishes were hot or well-chilled, fresh, and delicious. 5 stars so far! The ambiance is like a train station concourse during rush hour, and the noise is simply unbearable. Masses of children running around (restaurant or playground?) without any parents or staff intervening, and adults who were still getting a bit louder due to the terrible noise level. The service was fast and friendly. So, if you appreciate good food in a noisy train station environment, this is the place for you! People who prefer a sophisticated and quiet atmosphere on a pleasant evening are definitely in the wrong place! You can visit the restaurant for the food, but don't forget earplugs, and loud crowds shouldn't bother you either, nor should running toddlers.

I can't recommend it at all. There were four of us there, and the treatment was very, very bad...the worst treatment in Germany...I can't recommend it.

A very nice restaurant. Good selection of food and drinks. There's hardly anything they don't have. Everything is delicious and fresh.

Yes, the food is really good and varied, today, Mother's Day, it was too full for me personally and therefore the waiters couldn't work as carefully as usual

The offering is very tasty and varied. A visit there is worth it. A nice atmosphere and nice service. When it's full, and it almost always is, It's sometimes a bit too loud for me personally. But it is also a very large restaurant. Good parking options.

I was here for the lunch buffet and all I can say is that it tastes very good, there are plenty of refills and it's unbeatable for the price. Gladly again

Finest feeding stamp with “over-fattening” guarantee! Fast and friendly service, plus a robot that brings the food directly to the table - provided it isn't bothered by wild children. This means that the culinary fat reaches the hungry consumer even faster. Classic Chinese buffet meets Mongolian grill - here mass processing is perfected and implemented with impressive efficiency. There's even a little extra for attentive guests: To the left of the toilets you'll find the owner's children's legendary "homework table" - a sure sign of a really good Asian!

Food was delicious. Buffet was always refilled. Price performance fits.

Very good food, good service 👍👍👍👍

Food cold, ambience looks loud, service only clears plates

Food was great! One star deducted for the loud clattering of dishes, it's annoying

I used to enjoy going to this restaurant often. Unfortunately, the quality of the food, the service and the atmosphere have declined significantly. Meat is sometimes not cooked through properly, is tough and usually not cooked through. There was a feeling of time pressure when eating. The greeting was cold and dismissive. More like you weren't welcome. Although there weren't many people there, the atmosphere was relatively loud and unbearable. Unfortunately, the service and ambience are no longer right for the price.

I can't understand the negative comments. The food is extremely tasty, large selection of dishes and desserts. We were there on Easter Monday - of course it was full and therefore loud, but you have to expect that when you go to such a big restaurant. The staff was stressed but still friendly.

A truly wonderful one Seafood restaurant with a great buffet! The selection was diverse, everything was fresh and incredible yummy. The service was friendly and attentive. I would love to come back absolutely recommended!

Food great!! The service just wasn't as friendly last time. But everyone has a bad day sometimes.

Very good restaurant. In my opinion the best in the region 👏👏👏

The food and selection is great, but because it is so large and busy, it is extremely loud because it echoes a lot

High noise level, not a comfortable atmosphere for eating. Unfortunately the quality of the food is only moderate. Reasonable price-performance ratio, but for the money I'd rather go somewhere else next time.
