Asien Palast in Gotha

Best buffet ever. May God bless your life.

Everything is very tasty. The drinks package is also great. They have a large selection of bottled drinks, even for those who don't want alcoholic drinks like elsewhere, with syrup mix from the vending machines. For 19.90, it's great value for money. One of the waitresses is a bit brusque in her manner.

A culinary experience! For the price, the selection is more than adequate! The buffet is filled with a wide variety of dishes and is always well-stocked! The service is very friendly and attentive! The premises are neat and clean! But by far my favorite part was the freshly prepared dishes! An all-around fantastic experience. I also like the fact that there's a €5 surcharge for unfinished plates or drinks! Very sustainable! We'll definitely eat there again!

Typical Asian cuisine. I was surprised by the self-service concept for drinks. The buffet price of €29.90 per person is okay, because you can eat and drink as much as you want. Children pay less. It's €19.90 for those under 12, and €9.90 for those under 7 on a Friday. I didn't film everything. There's also sushi and some raw ingredients to fry. The service during clearing was also very quick, and everyone was very friendly. As for the taste, I can only say it's typical for a buffet. Nothing extraordinary, but everything is well prepared and quickly replenished.

Always good. Good value for money. Something for everyone, from sushi to classic Asian and vegetarian. Super delicious dessert bar.

You can eat buffet style here. I've never seen such a large selection. It's incredible what's on offer. Ready-made meals and products that are freshly prepared individually. A hefty price tag, but it's great value for money. Selected soft drinks are also included. We were a bit shocked by the notice that there's a €5 charge for unfinished plates. But it makes sense. Try it first, and if it tastes good, you can have it later. It's better to run out and refill your plate than have it all end up in the trash. Be disciplined about spending the €5.

Of course, I don't expect the taste I've experienced on my travels to Asian countries from a buffet restaurant like this. But of all the Asian buffets I've tried so far, the Asia Palace was by far the worst! Taste: Below average to very bad Dry and tough meat, sushi with rice that could be described as a sticky, tough, and dry mess... And the highlight: a huge blob of mayonnaise on many pieces of sushi - it tastes awful! Additional highlight: We were still feeling nauseous for two hours afterward, even though we didn't eat much because of the taste. Service: We were denied seating on the outdoor terrace despite repeated requests; the impending rain wasn't cited as an excuse, of course. Besides, we could have sat inside; there was plenty of space. Inside, people rolled their eyes because we couldn't decide on a table right away. It was more of a demand than a request that we book the buffet with a drinks package, so we assumed it was mandatory, which it later turned out wasn't. Then they immediately stated, in a rather odd way, "You don't need more than an hour." The cards at the table said you had 150 minutes. That's why the comment about the 1 hour seemed a bit odd. Generally, we were treated coldly and unfriendly from the start. ...

The best food I've ever eaten! Very friendly, respectful staff and a beautifully decorated interior make you feel enchanted!

Very good restaurant and nice people 👍

Great idea, always happy to do it again.

All in all good for this price for the buffet

We were there for the first time today and were very satisfied. The front-of-house cooking was particularly impressive. The vegetables and meat were very good. The buffet dishes were also very tasty. The staff was very friendly. We would be happy to come back.

Very pleasant place to linger, food is terrific.

Friendly staff, the food was delicious too. Desserts were delicious too. The chocolate waterfall was a big hit with the kids. We'll be back again and again.

Very tasty, you always leave just before you burst. Highly recommended.

For us the best Chinese in Thuringia

In my opinion, the food leaves a lot to be desired. The selection is very limited and not a great one for the price. The meat was very overcooked and tasted poor. You only get one napkin; if you need another, you have to use a tissue from a paper box.

The first thing we saw was this horrible rubber palm tree, so we deducted one point for the ambiance. The homemade juice was very tasty. Unfortunately, the food was overcooked, the selection wasn't that great, and the only ready-made vegetables were mushrooms and beans. The taste was so-so. We had to ask for salt and pepper, as well as toothpicks, and they weren't on the tables. Cutlery wasn't provided either. Initially, we were given a napkin with sunflowers. We needed a second one, but we got it. You know those gray ones from the vending machine? Oh well... We couldn't find a wheelchair entrance, but people over 80 get a €2 discount. And as a smoker, I'd like a covered smoking area.

I was there for lunch. It was quite busy and the food was amazing. I'd love to go back. 😆

If you want a quick bite to eat for €28 per person, this is the place for you... The atmosphere and ambiance aren't designed for a cozy evening... As soon as you sit down at the table, a sort of checklist is placed on which everything is noted, including your arrival time. Even if you want something from the menu, it's better to go elsewhere... We had to pay a €1 service charge for this, and were constantly checked to make sure we weren't eating from a different plate. The food was okay.

Love to go there to eat. Incredibly tasty and the staff is incredibly friendly. The children also feel very comfortable there. Everyone can find something to eat there.

The food tasted really good, hence four stars. Unfortunately, the service was sometimes a disaster and spoiled the whole visit. There were three people on duty: a man, a short woman and a tall woman. The gentleman and the little lady were very friendly, attentive and polite, high praise for that. Unfortunately, the tall woman is completely different: extremely unfriendly, impolite and completely inappropriate in her communication. Quote: “If you eat from the menu and your colleagues eat the buffet, you have to pay €1 extra because we can’t tell who eats what.” The tone was completely inappropriate. Another incident: There was an 11-year-old child who, according to the menu, was supposed to be charged a child price of €19.90. The waitress asked for ID (!) and didn't believe us that children of that age in Germany don't have one. We didn't want a fight so paid full price, very disappointing. Here, too, the reaction was with an unfriendly tone and evil looks. Conclusion: Food was good, but unfortunately not a recommendation due to the extremely rude service. Very unpleasant experience, we will definitely not be coming back.

Very tasty and extensive buffet. And what I really liked is that you want to be sustainable. If you overload your plate and produce waste, you pay an extra 5 euros for each plate. I think that's great. The selection of drinks is huge. The staff is friendly and considerate. Very clean and welcoming. Priced completely reasonable. The restaurant has improved a lot since my last visit a year ago. That's rare.

Overall, the restaurant is worth a visit as it offers an extensive selection of food and drinks. Parking is located directly behind the restaurant. Unfortunately, there is a service person who does not work optimally in this position. She leads guests to tables that are unappealing, even though there were plenty of other seats available that you weren't allowed to choose from - and nothing was reserved. The way she places the guests together in close proximity during the meal is also unfortunate. I also find it unpleasant and unprofessional that she continually clears away dishes while eating.

We were there yesterday for lunch at the buffet. The food tastes excellent, the selection is very good. The huge selection of drinks is also very good. We would definitely like to come back, even if it is a longer way there. It's worth it.

We were in a larger group for the lunch buffet. Food was very tasty and the selection was great. From starters, soup, sushi to main courses and desserts, such as ice cream and chocolate fountains, you can feast heartily for 150 minutes. The service always quickly clears away the “leftovers”. The only complaint was the limited space in the aisle at the buffet. There would be a little room for improvement. Otherwise highly recommended! The little birthday present was also very nice! We were very happy about that.

Unfortunately the food was a disappointment. In addition to almost exclusively fried food, there was a section with “fresh” raw meat, vegetables and fish. It was tough and partly inedible in taste. Maybe it was a little too long. But there was a huge selection of drinks and something sweet. Unfortunately, the service is super unfriendly, the prices are unjustified and the plates and cutlery are sometimes very dirty, hence the rating.

Stopped there today by chance. Absolute top. All you can eat buffet had a selection that was second to none. Drinks, desserts all included in the price. The visit was definitely worth it. But I'll drive almost 90km again at any time!!

Thank you for the excellent and harmonious service. Due to the traffic situation yesterday, we passed by by chance. We were immediately warmly welcomed and our birthday dinner left nothing to be desired. We'd love to come back. Thank you very much. We have now celebrated 3 birthdays here. Always the best. So again today on March 1st. Many many thanks.

We had dinner with 16 people on Saturday. Very friendly service, great organization and the food (buffet) was really excellent, very varied, something for every taste. Drinks are included and there is also a large selection. We'll be happy to come back when we get the chance!

We were there for dinner today. We were shocked right from the start. It went to the table and you had to immediately decide whether you wanted buffet or a la carte. The buffet now includes drinks (beer, non-alcoholic), wine costs extra. However, you have to get this yourself from refrigerated shelves. Contrary to the online menu, the prices have been increased significantly - 29.90 euros for adults, children aged 7 and over 19.90 euros. We still decide on buffet. We then had to decide how and with what we would pay. Then came the next big thing, we got a piece of paper saying that you have 2.5 hours to eat - if you exceed this, you have to pay €5 per person. If you also leave something left over when eating or don't drink the drink, you will also pay a fine of 5 euros per person!!! Halfway through the time our cutlery was put away and you almost had the feeling of being thrown out. The person was also very unfriendly, no grin, no nice word, on the contrary there was always a "stupid" comment from the older waitress. When we paid, we simply kept the remaining money and didn't even ask if we wanted the money back. To be honest, we won't be coming back any time soon. It's a shame.

The taste was not that convincing and it was very cold throughout the entire restaurant If you want to fill your stomach, this is the right place 😅

We were here with 16 adults and 2 children on the occasion of my birthday. We were very satisfied. Everything tasted good. Even though it was pretty full, everything was quickly refilled. And there were birthday presents too. Thank you.

I can recommend this restaurant with a clear conscience

First of all: easy access, free parking, in the evening the entrance area is nicely lit and the anteroom is invitingly designed Friendly reception, polite table allocation, pleasant room climate, visually the interiors are very well maintained, Food: (crispy sweet/sour duck) is recommended!! Conclusion: We were completely satisfied!!! Thank you very much

The buffet with live cooking is generally very tasty, but the staff could simply be friendlier and make guests feel welcome!

I can recommend it, the food was very tasty.

Simply great 🙂! If you're craving Asian food 😀, feel free to visit this restaurant! Good selection, freshly prepared, enough space and everything was clean! Oh yes and really tasty!

I had the pleasure of dining at this amazing restaurant in Gotha, and I must say, it was an incredible experience! They offer a buffet with an unbelievable variety of dishes—there’s something for everyone. The food is fresh, delicious, and plentiful, and the price is extremely reasonable, especially considering everything that’s included. What truly stands out is the drinks—they are all-inclusive! This is such a unique feature, and I’ve never seen anything like it before. The variety of beverages available is truly impressive, and it adds so much value to the dining experience. The owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. There’s also plenty of parking available, so there’s no stress about finding a spot. The atmosphere is spacious, clean, and comfortable, making it one of my favorite places to visit. I’m so impressed by their generosity in providing such a wide range of food and drinks at such a reasonable price. It’s clear they genuinely care about their customers. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food, amazing service, and fantastic value. I can’t wait to return!

Unfortunately the food was very cold, the beans were still frozen!

Very tasty food. And the buffet was always refilled.

A very nice restaurant with plenty of choice. The buffet food was very nicely presented

Christmas dinner buffet👎 ..... incredibly full, endless queuing, atmosphere like in the school canteen, expensive .... overall not again....

Great food and huge selection. Buffet with drinks. Great

Went for dinner today with 5 people and were very happy with the selection of food and drinks. You can only receive. Would love to come back

Taste is debatable. Not over watery fried rice. No smile when you eat a la carte instead of the buffet. You have to pay an extra euro for this.

Always worth a visit. You will receive a very friendly welcome there and the food is first class.

Food was delicious, everything was fresh, clean and it was always well refilled....large selection...I would say something for everyone....

Culinary highlight in the middle of Gotha. Great ambience and excellent food.

Unbelievable price/performance ratio. Nice buffet and even drinks included in the price. Of course, since you get everything yourself, you can't say anything about the service. But given the price, that's bearable.

Food from the buffet was sometimes cold and stale. Service very unfriendly.

We reserved a table at 7 p.m. When we arrived we were told to wait a moment. After a few people walked past us, we were told after waiting 20 minutes that people had sat down at our table without a reservation and there was nothing they could do. They just left us there. Afterwards we left the restaurant. Totally chaotic and unfriendly. Very unfortunate.

All you can eat really good quality. Very convenient that some drinks such as water, beer and fruit juices are also included. The grilled fish is very good.

One of many Chinese restaurants in GTH. It was probably only recently opened under a new name, so it is very clean and has an attractive atmosphere. The buffet food with a fairly large selection of dishes and many different drinks is ok for the fixed price. The food could be warmer/hotter.

Very nice atmosphere. The staff very nice. Even though the greeting and bringing people to the table is almost like a barracks tone. But still very pleasant. The food is super delicious. If you don't find anything here, it's your own fault. We'll be back.

I used to enjoy eating here with my parents as a child and nothing has changed to this day. Very tasty food whether a la kart or buffet. We always enjoy coming here.

Good evening dear Asia Palace team!!!! We were there for dinner yesterday with the family, what can I say, 5 stars are definitely not enough, the food is really excellent, we have often been to the buffet at various other Asian restaurants, but this one was truly a culinary roller coaster ride, and the entire team was also courteous And what's more, it's nice, you feel welcome, like you're with friends, what rounded it all off is the fact that the food isn't thrown away after it closes, no, in the evening people in need come and get the food packed and are allowed to take it home , that's more like good hearty, that's definitely not our last visit, and thanks for the beer corks, LG Manuel & Jeannette

Visited for the first time under the new concept. I have to say...GREAT CONCEPT!!!! Also a significant improvement in taste and selection!!!!! Definitely coming more often! Ambiance and service great as always. Thanks!

Food delicious (average) but not authentically Chinese and also inexpensive if you have a lot of space in your stomach.

A pan-Asian restaurant with an all-you-can-eat buffet. You can also put together the ingredients fresh and have them fried according to your own specifications. The highlight that I didn't know about until then: there is a drinks flat rate with which you can get the glass bottles with your favorite drinks from a variety of refrigerators. The quality of the food is okay, but when it's full it's also quite noisy. But it's definitely not a mistake to go here.

Great food and all inclusive buffet. A huge selection of drinks, especially limos, spritzers and juice. And the buffet even has plenty for the little ones. We'd love to come back.

And it's always a great experience to come back here. I like to come back again and again. Great food, great service and a “cold water with gas without vegetables” 😉 or maybe a hot Saake

We were there for the lunch buffet. Everything was very tasty, well presented and with drinks included a great deal. There's even a chocolate fountain. The atmosphere is very nice and everything is very clean. We will definitely come back and recommend it 100% 👍👍👍

All-in buffet with drinks included

I love buffets and when even fresh products like squid or frog legs can be put together with vegetables and then fried, it can only be perfect! Drinks are included in the buffet price - nothing more is possible!

I've already eaten there and can say that the food is a real dream, the portions are large and extremely tasty. The employees are extremely friendly and always keep everything very clean. Left a very good impression. Conclusion: definitely worth a visit!

Large selection of many delicacies. I was here for a buffet meal and it was great. Eat as much as you can manage for 2.5 hours and non-alcoholic drinks and beer are also included in the price.

The best Asian food in Gotha. With a nice buffet and a large selection. Always delicious 😋

A lot of the food was not fresh and was reheated and the sushi was not tasty the waitress was not friendly and was nervous

The food was good, fresh and tasty. Very acceptable price for the menu including drinks

New concept where drinks are included in the price. A very attractive offer for people who have a craving for Chinese (Asian) food. Mongolian grill is one of the highlights in the restaurant, where you can have fresh ingredients prepared right in front of you. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Can definitely recommend the restaurant!

mediocre food, selection is less than at previous owners and prices much higher The grill tastes okay, the buffet area has very narrow space, making you bump into people a lot or be unable to pass through

Everything tasted good. Friendly service even though we ate allacard. Price-performance is right.

At the beginning we were surprised that the buffet was almost 10€ more expensive. We had to quickly decide whether we wanted the buffet or other dishes and whether we wanted to pay with cash or card. If you want to stay longer than 2.5 hours, you have to pay more. But at least the drinks were included in the price. The food wasn't bad but for 29.90 per person you can have a much tastier meal with soup and pay less.

Everything was great, just the prices were too high

We stopped here during a bike tour. Everything was friendly and clean. The food was extensive and very tasty. We will come back in any case.

Everything was very tasty 😋 and drinks included

We like to come here for a buffet meal. Everything is always freshly made and super tasty. If you eat buffet style, drinks are included. Everything from water to coffee and juice to beer. There is a small outdoor area and on weekends there is a show kitchen where they freshly prepare raw food. There are different prices for the buffet. This always depends on the time of day and day of the week. It is cheapest during the week for lunch. Most expensive on Sundays and public holidays. But everything is within the scope of what you get. Of course you can also order from the menu. There are also some delicious dishes there. And there is the option to order and then pick up your food. All in all a nice, bright and clean restaurant. The employees are always friendly and the service is very good. We'd love to come back.

Been here again for a long time. New operator, a little remodeled, especially the buffet section. Really good offer, great selection, nice service and it is always refilled straight away if something is empty. I can only recommend it because the price is right.

Everything has been great since it reopened. Great buffet, nice service, you can finally eat very well there again

Delicious food, nice staff! And birthday presents! Large selection at the buffet and show kitchen! 🍜 In addition, new staff, new rules, new prices, drinks are also new - self-service!

We were there for dinner today. We were shocked right from the start. It went to the table and you had to immediately decide whether you wanted buffet or a la carte. The buffet now includes drinks (beer, non-alcoholic), wine costs extra. However, you have to get this yourself from refrigerated shelves.

If you also leave something left over when eating or don't drink the drink, you will also pay a fine of 5 euros per person!!! Unfortunately, the restaurant was so overcrowded that the food wasn't replenished at all. A note to the staff resulted in us not even receiving a goodbye when leaving the restaurant. We have never experienced anything like this! The quality of the food was also not recommended! In any case, no one will see us here anymore!

Food could have been hotter otherwise 👍

Friendly people, the food is really plentiful. I got something from TGTG. 1 surprise bag is enough for 4 people

I'm disappointed and angry! Yesterday I ordered fried noodles with duck and dark sauce to take away. Did the waiter say €18.90!?!? I have fallen away from the faith! I told him if that wouldn't be more expensive? Since all can you eat costs €30.00 with a drink! Was unreasonable! For me, the restaurant was full... and I didn't want to make a fuss, so I gave him €20 and didn't give me the rest of my money! Bottomless impudence! So I won't eat there anymore! And recommend! Because there wasn't even a concession.

I just think it's beautiful! It tastes great, we love going here!

Simply great and delicious. Eat until you can't fit any more in your stomach. We had a buffet, where you can try everything, even if it's the frog's leg. What can I say, even the frog leg was delicious and tasted like tender chicken, all white meat. We'd love to come back.😍👍

TOP restaurant, buffet for 29.90 euros per person including beer, lemonades, juices, water, coffee in all varieties, food was again very tasty, the selection was plentiful, highly recommended

We were very satisfied! We chose all you can eat & drink! Buffet is plentiful & beautifully presented! Service attentive & friendly! Thank you for the lovely evening! Kind regards & see you soon.

It was very delicious! The ambience is as you would imagine. The service was friendly and attentive. We chose the buffet and on the one hand there was a very large selection and on the other hand it was very tasty. It was regularly replenished. What we particularly liked was that you could put together what a friendly local cook would prepare for you. All in all it was a successful evening! 👍🏻

Food is really good and they offer a great variety of dishes.

Visited the restaurant for the first time and was very friendly and quick to escort you to the table you ordered. The entire service was very friendly, quick and accommodating. All food was freshly prepared and always refilled. A large selection and also freshly prepared gluten-free for the granddaughter. Very nice atmosphere, we felt very comfortable here. Five stars plus.

The quality of the food has improved a lot after the change in ownership.

Food was delicious, service was friendly. Unfortunately, the buffet was always empty and could still be expanded

Was here for the first time. I liked it. The choice of dishes is large. The service is good. You can eat deliciously. I will come again.

A very bad situation is a break for employees who work 12 hours a day

Everything was super tasty, everything was fresh and tip top and very friendly staff. We'll definitely be back

Very good selection, quality, everything was right, service was very friendly

Buffet with a good selection, very friendly service, humorous owner and the food is very good.

Celebrated my birthday at the Asia Palast today, great food, great service, great ambience, always a pleasure
