Buddha Lounge Kiel in Kiel

Nice place. We didn't eat, so can't say much about the food

Vegetables overcooked... Good show! Food was OK but nothing special ☺️ Sushi platters overpriced...

The Buddha Lounge in Kiel is absolutely recommended! The food was delicious, the portions were just right, and the atmosphere was very pleasant and inviting. Particularly noteworthy is the friendly and attentive staff, which makes the visit even more pleasant. The location is also well connected, which makes getting there easy. I'd love to come back!

Great culinary experience and extremely tasty too. We like to come again and again. Highly recommended, reservation is highly recommended.

Top food, large selection, great music and good ambience, great staff and a friend got a free cake because of his birthday

Super tasty and nice atmosphere... I can only recommend it!

We were guests with 23 children and adults. The preliminary discussions went really well! The food, the presentation of the food, the ambience (despite the size), the service were super tasty / eye-catching / super nice and fast. We will definitely come back again!

We had a business lunch for numerous international guests with different diets (vegan, lactose-free, ...). All wishes were taken into account. Very harmonious atmosphere. Pleasant service. Early reservation is certainly helpful. Great! 👍

Great service, great food, great ambience

I like the lemongrass and beef bowl. Reminds me of Vietnamese Bun Pho. A compromise on the ambience because it gets a little too loud for me personally, there are no sound-dampening elements.

Lemongrass Bowl - 👍 was very satisfied. Food was very tasty. 10 people all got their food at the same time. The ginger lemonade was also a hit! Service was very friendly and prices were reasonable. A lovely evening…🍜❣️

The food was very good, the waiters remembered a lot and were very friendly, the only thing in the front area was a bit too loud, a partition between the rows of tables would be appropriate.

Very nice atmosphere. Really good food. Had summer rolls and papaya salad on my first visit. And decided: I'll go there again! Very happy with my lemongrass bowl with beef today.

Highly recommended, extremely tasty sushi and very nice service

Super great service, very fast, short waiting times for service, drinks, starters and main courses. Very nice interior design and design. Food also very tasty. Prices were okay. It can't get any more expensive.

Underground service. Waited 1.5 hours for sushi, reason: so many people ordered sushi. Do not offer sushi if you are unable to bring it to the table in a timely manner. And then, when paying, the cheeky question "and what about tips?"... Sorry, anyone who answers so rudely and then literally slaps the food on the table is not entitled to a tip and will never see me in the restaurant again . Conclusion: NOT recommended if you still value service

Many friends and I have had dinner here many times. It's really good, the food is delicious and the water comes out quickly, the customer service is very good. I will definitely come back here often. I already love this place

I've been to the Buddha Lounge twice now and I'm disappointed. Visually, the food is beautifully presented. Unfortunately the taste is very bland...!

The Buddha Lounge is a real highlight in Kiel. The reservation went smoothly and the atmosphere is modern and inviting. The dishes were not only beautifully presented, but also absolutely delicious - everything from the flavors to the freshness was perfect. Definitely the best culinary experience we have had in Kiel so far. Unreserved recommendation!

The food was very tasty, but when we wanted to pay, a lot more things were booked on our table than we had ordered. Things from neighboring tables were booked on ours, then they made me pay even more than what I ordered, which unfortunately I only noticed when I was outside! I had 1 large dish, 1x small makkis, a soup and a drink. I paid for 2x main course, 1x small makkis + the soup and the drink! It was tasty but you paid €11 more than you should have? No thanks !

Super delicious food, Nice staff,

It is quite loud when all tables are occupied. Otherwise everything was very good and friendly

Super delicious food in a nice atmosphere. A table reservation is recommended, and is definitely mandatory on weekends. The sushi is to die for and is spectacularly prepared with dry ice. The bowls are also excellent, as are the flying noodles. The service is discreet, but always there. Unfortunately we couldn't leave a tip when paying with a debit card. In today's world, when cash is becoming increasingly rare, this is a no-go.

Great food, great location and great staff. Would love to come back.

Food was good, but the service was a disaster...After waiting for 1.5 hours, we asked where the food was. Then it came at some point. None of the waiters had the idea to let us know that it would take longer and to ask if we wanted something more to drink. The employees are not only unfriendly, overwhelmed and incompetent, but also brazen. A tip was EXPECTED at the end after the poor performance.

It's super tasty, very nice service, great service

Very, very tasty food, you can also see it, unfortunately the rooms are much too crowded and therefore too loud, making it difficult to have long conversations.

Surprisingly good quality. Definitely worth a second visit.

Wir haben einige Jahre in Asien gelebt und können ganz gut beurteilen, ob ein Restaurant authentisch und die Qualität der Speisen gut ist. Und ich muss sagen, es war hervorragend. Das Essen war 1 A und auch fürs Auge wurde etwas geboten. Einzig am Service haperte etwas, das mag daran liegen, dass das Restaurant bis auf den letzten Platz besetzt war und man einfach nicht hinterher kam. Aber auf nochmalige Getränkebestellung mussten wir unverhältnismäßig lange warten, ebenso auf die Rechnung. Dies tat dem Genuss allerdings keinen Abbruch.

What else can you say? An actually good restaurant with prices that have steadily increased. An espresso costs 3.40, a 0.25 liter beer costs 3.70 and Fritz Cola costs 4.60. I can no longer support or recommend the Buddha Lounge at these prices. Everyone has to know for themselves. The four of us over 100.- for 4 drinks and 4 meals....... it's no fun for us.

Friendly staff and a taste experience and super tasty drinks. Just try it

Very good restaurant with excellent food, good staff and great ambience. The prices are reasonable. Highly recommended.

Habe keine große Erfahrung mit sagen wir asiatischer Küche. Auch wenn hier recht viel Wert auf Show gelegt wurde, war der Service flink und angenehm, die Wartezeit kurz und das Essen prima. Der Fisch war ausgezeichnet, alles schön dargeboten. Viele Familien und Grüppchen, man muss schon etwas lauter sprechen. Blick auf die Förde, leicht vom Hauptbahnhof zu erreichen. Reservierung empfehlenswert. Preise in Ordnung, ziemlich große Karte. Ich komme gern wieder. Danke!

Absolutely delicious, finely decorated location, cool dishes, would be happy again. Fast, accommodating and very friendly

The food was very tasty, the service was friendly, attentive and very quick.

We have always been loyal regular customers of this restaurant and have often visited it with our family. Unfortunately, our last visit left us very disappointed. Although we had reserved a table, the waiter wanted to seat us with our children in an uncomfortable spot at the entrance, even though the table we preferred was free. We finally sat down at the table of our choice, but from that moment on our food was not fully served and the service was rude and unfriendly. This was an extremely unpleasant experience that left us leaving the restaurant in a bad mood. A restaurant should be a place of relaxation and enjoyment, but instead we felt unwelcome. We hope that management keeps this behavioral issue under review as such incidents damage the establishment's reputation. Guests come to have a good time and enjoy a delicious meal - that should always be the focus.

Always very good food and friendly service. It is always recommended

Food as always very tasty. Went there with a stroller. Everything great. Restaurant was very busy and therefore it was actually very loud.

Tasty and varied. Staff would like to be a little more motivated. But otherwise we would like to come back

A gorgeous Vietnam restaurant with Aisa fusion of cuisine. Here guests can find creative and nicely deco of meals. The location is also fine by the water bank. The price is higher than the general other but worth of trying and the service is adequate. Be honest even though I don't feel the taste specially delicious but the fact is the new way of presentation shall impress the western clients.

Delicious. Great view. Courteous staff.

Die Lage ist super, der Service ist top und das Essen ein Traum. Wir kommen definitiv wieder. Wir können es nur weiterempfehlen.

A very nice restaurant, super nice staff, the food beautifully prepared. We had starters, main courses and dessert. Everything tasted great and we will definitely eat there again.

If someone wants to eat quickly and well, then I can recommend Buddha.

The place is very impressive and the food is excellent. It's a really great place to celebrate a wedding anniversary or a birthday, for example.

Mooie interieur, leuke presentatie van de gerechten en een heerlijke smaak. Dat bij elkaar maakt een dineetje echt een succes. Dit allemaal goed betaalbaar en met een vriendelijke bediening.... aanrader.

Great food, nice location. We'd love to come back. One star deducted because a tip of 10 euros was included in the bill. I would like to make this decision myself.

Very good value for money! Food arrived super quickly and was very tasty! Reservations are recommended on Friday evening! Even after asking about a birthday dinner on the phone, the table was beautifully decorated in advance and there was even a tiramisu.

Very tasty and fresh, I and my family liked it. Would love to come back.

Today I spontaneously visited the Buddha Lounge with three friends. Unfortunately, this wasn't a good choice! The waiter was simply more than unfriendly! We had only been sitting at the table for 3 minutes when the waiter came and wanted to take our order and we were obviously still browsing through the menu. My girlfriend ordered the flying noodles, which also tasted very bland. In the middle of eating, the waiter simply reached into her food to retrieve the fork that the noodles were placed on. Very unhygienic, just sticking your hands into your food without asking!!! You had just put your fork aside and the waiter, who had been circling the table the whole time, simply took the plate away from your face, even though the others were still eating. We were also forced to tip, even though we certainly didn't want to give one after this stay. Never again!!

Super delicious food and a very attractive atmosphere

The food is quite good but the waiter in the outside area didn't work at all. I have never experienced such unfriendly service. We probably won't come back.

excellent sushi. the curry had a peanut sauce too watery, impossible to find any taste. they should make the sauce consistent and tasty. they charged with 10% tip included without warning me. when I offered more tip because I didn't know they have already charged it, they didn't say anything. my wife noticed the amount was too high, and they offered to give the tip money back we enjoy paying tips as long as it's clear as it is in any other place where you simply add the tip you want to pay. never had been through this in Germany before. please make it VERY CLEAR to your customers that you're already charging a tip.

The food here has gone way down, The last few times I wasn't happy with either the seafood soup or the flying noodles. Prices rose sharply over the year and quality declined. The seafood soup didn't taste good, the ingredients and spices used didn't match. Tomatoes and dill have no place in a Tom Yum-style seafood soup. The flying noodles had a very thin sauce that was barely noticeable, the noodles had no taste of their own and the portion of meat was very small. For the now relatively high prices, I think the food is extremely bad.

they charged the tip on the bill without telling you. I have never seen this in Germany before. So, you end up paying even more tip if you do not double check your bill. Not nice approach.

A great meal and friendly service. It was nice to be there often. The place is always full, so it must be good. Come back soon 👍👍👍👍👍

Very nicely located restaurant with delicious food. I had the "Flying Singapore". Very, very highly recommended!

The food is beautifully presented and very appealing. The taste is also very good. Given the number of visitors, it's clear that the employees are under stress...but I still think you should remain friendly. Sometimes I had the impression as a guest that you were annoying, which I unfortunately didn't like. The food ambience and the presentation were still very nice... we'll still be back

Great food, large selection and huge portions.

The ambience and layout of the shop is very nice, the food also tastes good and is presented very aesthetically. However, I unfortunately have to say that the staff/service really leaves something to be desired... hectic, not really attentive and the most important thing is that friendliness is missing and that should be the A&O (and I visited the store for the third time and it was every time the same 😕) important point that the Buddha Lounge should take to heart, then the overall package would be right ☺️

Not up to par. Slow service and tasteless food.

Great food, beautifully prepared. Can't beat the taste. Unfortunately too few service staff. We waited over 1 hour for our food. No small compensation from the restaurateur...disappointed...had to order everything again because the order form was missing...

I was here for the first time today. Many people have already raved to me about it. And what can I say: Best Asian ever. The food is incredibly tasty, the ambience just makes you feel good, the service is top notch and the prices are very humane. I'm already looking forward to the next time

Fantastic colorful Asian food, bit of Thai, bit of Cambodian food, bit of Vietnamese. Excellent. Nice location, view of the harbor, friendly service.

The Buddha Lounge is a highlight for me every time. As soon as you enter, you are greeted by an extraordinary interior. The service is very quick and helpful with any questions you may have. .....and when the food is served you are almost speechless. Beautifully prepared and presented in a very unusual way. As I said: always something very special for me

Yesterday we were in the Buddha Lounge again for a long time. It was very disappointing. I ate the Lucky Bowl. The bowl was 50% filled with lettuce leaves. Then much cheaper corn. An inedible asparagus spear, very briefly cooked and therefore hard broccoli and carrots, both of which cannot be eaten with the cutlery available. Rice was ok, edamame and egg were also ok. Overall disappointing and not filling! We won't be coming back.

Schönes Ambiente, tolles leckeres Essen und sehr freundliches Personal Gerne wieder - auch wenn die Lage auf der anderen Seite der Förde ist.

Very good food, especially sushi, is served in a very visually appealing manner, the shop is clean and the staff is very friendly, value for money is right, especially at lunch. There was water and a quiet place for our dog. Only when it is full in the evening is it sometimes noisy and the preparation of the dishes takes a little longer. Overall 5/5. I'd love to come back.

The food tastes great as do the cocktails, both are worth the money. The portions are also generous. The service is simply great, authentic and modern at the same time, the young waiter was very humorous and serious at the same time. The ambience is brilliant, the few trucks that you can see from a window front didn't bother me personally. The restaurant is very close to the water and the interior design has its charm.

Fantastisk sted - med hygge og mega dejlig mad 👍 Kan varm anbefale dette sted hvis man er til Vietnamestisk mad - der blev også serverer sushi . Dejlig og velsmagende - søde personale.

Good food, but a bit slow service on what looked like a busy thuesday.

I had dinner there with my family a few days ago. We all paid separately. The waiter placed a device in front of her so that she could give a “forced” tip, which was very cheeky! When I paid I wasn't given my change back (small money) and was taken for granted to keep it as a tip. I then immediately asked for my change, even if it was only small change because you don't do that! I've never seen anything so cheeky! I mean, you tip yourself and don't just take something as a waiter!

A modern and high-quality restaurant. The sushi is very tasty and beautifully prepared. I can highly recommend the homemade lemonade. We will definitely stop by here again. July 10th, 2024 We stopped by the Buddha Lounge again. It was, as before, a celebration.

The location is really nice, the service was very friendly and the food was delicious. Above all, a lot of effort is put into the arrangement, which makes visiting the restaurant a small experience.

Very tasty food, with a great ambience. The staff is also very attentive

There is delicious sushi right at the harbor with a great view - I have a new sushi favorite in Kiel that's awesome!!!...❤️❤️❤️

We have been to the Budha Lounge a few times now and are always very satisfied. Consistently good quality and it always tastes good. The service is always very friendly. We really enjoy coming here ☀️

The vegetarian version of the coconut soup initially arrived with a coriander topping, even though a corresponding allergy was pointed out. The soup was replaced, but now there were numerous pieces of chicken floating in it. The service staff apologized again. The gyoza were largely tasteless.

Nice restaurant, delicious food, pleasant atmosphere. Terrible staff. An old, thin man with glasses (a waiter) is an aggressive, hysterical narcissist. He begs for tips and becomes hysterical if you don't leave anything. The rest of the team consists of wonderful, smiling waitresses who know how to communicate with guests.

This restaurant is really very good. The inside and outside look very cozy and are furnished with love. The waiters are very friendly and attentive. The food is wonderful, there's nothing wrong with it. The only negative point is the location. The restaurant is located on the east bank of Kiel. The passers-by and some of the other guests are forgettable and behave like assistants.

Very good value for money, very generous portions and incredibly friendly staff. All in all: a visit is a visit and is more than worth it!

Top service, wow price performance top

We've been there several times now and it's always been delicious!

Simply wow, a real treat from the first moment to the last second. Both the furnishings, the service and the food are absolutely insane.

Always special and particularly good.

We were there for the first time yesterday. What can I say, clear 5 stars. Everything was perfect. Great food, super nice service and a wonderful ambience. We'll definitely be back :)

Very tasty food with top fresh ingredients. The sushi ship (109€/ entitled) is an eye-catcher and very tasty. Maybe a few sauces with it wouldn't have been bad, I didn't ask...enough for 4 good "eaters". Service is sometimes overwhelmed... it's understandable given the rush, but always polite. We will definitely come back! Reservation in advance makes sense.

Schon auf der Terasse wurden wir freundlichst empfangen und zum Platz geführt. Ohne Hast konnten wir in Ruhe wählen und uns wurde bei Fragen zum Essen alles erklärt. Die Präsentation des Sushi mit kleinen, rauchenden Vulkanen war natürlich für die Kinder ganz besonders. Es schmeckte aber auch, nichts blieb übrig. 85,00 Euro für 5 Personen mit Getränken, da kommt man gerne wieder

Not to everyone's taste. But very well prepared, lemonades are very good. Unfortunately a very loud atmosphere.

Very nice restaurant, great ambience, nice staff, delicious food, great presentation! Highly recommended. No parking spaces in the surrounding area!

Were there for a friend's JGA with 7 people. It was a great experience, the service was great and the food was beautifully prepared and very tasty. It wasn't too expensive either, about 50 euros per person. Will definitely come back.

We had baked duck, it was super tasty, crispy, just great, we'll be back.

We had dinner here for a family celebration. We had booked a table and were warmly welcomed. The restaurant has a lot of long tables and that alone makes it very noisy when everything is full. Well, the atmosphere could be better, the service was very friendly, but he didn't always understand us and we had to ask for drinks. Everything went well with the food and everything was hot, tasty and very well seasoned. Clear recommendation.

There was hair in me and my companion's food... Disgusting.

Super delicious place, really good food and pleasant service, right in the heart of Kiel

Super delicious, just too many spider webs on the outdoor lights and a bit disoriented service personnel, a notch away from perfect. Cheers!

Great restaurant, food was great!

Excellent sushi, in a good location. Let's go again. True, the little one is a little expensive.

Always delicious and fresh food in a nice atmosphere.

Great location close to the water. Reservation absolutely necessary. The food was really tasty and fresh. The service is very friendly and always attentive. There are enough parking options nearby
