China-City in Kaiserslautern

We’ve been there a couple of times. Never really been impressed. This latest visit was the same. My wife found something in her food. The food came from their buffet. We figured out it was a piece of metal from a scrubbing of some sort. I took the plate to waitress. She criticized it was by talking to the kitchen. After this revelation we stopped eating and prepared to leave. Without hesitation or apology, I was given the bill. I was expected to pay for food that came with pieces of a scrubbing brush.

Sehr unfreundlicher Empfang, die Tischauswahl wurde uns sehr bestimmend mitgeteilt. Plätze in der Mitte sind so eng gestellt das ein aufstehen ohne Belästigung der Nachbartische nicht möglich ist.Die Auswahl am Buffet war beschränkt und wurde kaum frisch aufgefüllt. Die Ente war total vertrocknet und Nudeln hart. Alles in allem war es ein sehr enttäuschender Abend.

Unfortunately, the food didn't taste good at all...neither the cooked items nor the fried ones - some of the food was even cold... thawed donuts and a cake from Coppenrath and Wiese for dessert. Paid €30 per person - price/performance ratio is not right at all! There was a very unpleasant smell of drains/sewers throughout the restaurant. The smell in the toilet was almost unbearable. We definitely won't be coming back!

The ambience is nice but that was it, after the lady said that the buffet with drinks costs 29.90 we wanted to leave the restaurant... When she offered 22 euros just for food, we let ourselves be persuaded, which I still find too expensive given my lower hunger besides there is no other option. Nevertheless, we all thought that the food wasn't particularly good, greasy and often covered in far too much dough...the waitresses seemed unfriendly or rather unsafe. No matter what it is.....the annoying thing in the end was exactly the lady, probably the boss, who made us the offer of 22 euros, then later presented us with the bill for 89.70, i.e. flat rate with drinks... Me I suspect pure intention... audacity wins... anyone can spend their money there... I or we will no longer enter this restaurant, let alone recommend it to others. Pure rip-off for poor quality, you should definitely work on it, which is also confirmed by many other reviews.

We, two people, were guests for the lunch buffet today. I have to say, the price is absolutely right given the selection of dishes and also the typical expected quality. You get enough for the price, definitely a clear recommendation. The service and, I suspect, the new owner were also very friendly. We will definitely come back.

We looked online for a restaurant near Monte Mare, then came across China City, Kaiserslautern, we also checked the menu online and then announced ourselves by phone. The low price of €17.90 for adults meant I could ignore some dried-out sushi, some dried-out main courses and some stale pastries for dessert. However, the hammer came with the bill. Instead of according to the menu online €55.40 for 2 adults and. 2 children were charged a cheeky €92.60. When I asked how this was supposed to come about, I was told that the prices from the previous owner were still online, but unfortunately the current owner hadn't gotten around to updating the price list yet. If I had known the current prices, we wouldn't have gone there, we just wanted a snack for after swimming, as the restaurant in the swimming pool was unfortunately already closed. I simply call something like this a mess and a joke!! I wouldn't be surprised if the current owner has been in business for months and this is just a scam. Is to attract customers!!

It was very tasty, the staff was very friendly.

You don't have to go there. Food wasn't good, staff was friendly.

We often went to ChinaCity and enjoyed eating there. Now the management has changed, which doesn't always have to be a bad thing. There is the all-you-can eat option with drinks for 29.90 euros per person, which is not bad in principle, but: - the sushi was quite hard and dried out - At the buffet, the vegetables that we remembered from the previous one were cooked to death and the food itself was too salty - Floor was sticky and had streaks (not just in places, but everywhere there was no carpet) The new owner was very nice, but I don't think we'll be back any time soon. -

Unfortunately, the reopening has slowed down considerably Unfortunately, half of the fried food was cold and the taste of the other food was also rather less convincing. I think the increase in price from around €20 to €29 is greatly exaggerated, even though the drinks are included in the new price. On the whole, unfortunately, it doesn't differ at all from all the surrounding Asian restaurants, which I think is a shame

Alright. Good value for money. Very friendly staff.

There were 4 of us there yesterday. There is plenty to eat at the buffet and it tastes very good too. It's a nice atmosphere, the waitresses are all super friendly and nice. And in addition to the price of the buffet, drinking as much as you want is simply great, we'll be back.

Not recommended, save your money and go somewhere else.

She charges price of buffet differently for different people. And when you confront her, she pretends not to understand.

Great Chinese restaurant Under new management with much more selection. Great taste. Price-performance for €29.90 including drinks is ok

The restaurant has new owners. The atmosphere and quality of food has changed. Everything got better. Delicious. Very friendly. I will definitely go again on my own and with friends.

I know the new owner of this restaurant. She is a very kind and hard-working woman. He told me that he just opened his own restaurant. I went there yesterday with some friends for the first time. The restaurant itself is very quiet and the atmosphere is relaxing compared to the others I've been to. I really liked the idea of ​​not putting so much food on the tray because that way it doesn't stay cold and dry...the meat is very tender...variety of salads to mix...and unlimited drinks. The staff are super friendly and attentive, I can't complain about the atmosphere because it is very quiet, the interior decoration is quite good. I recommend you without a doubt. The new owner is very friendly, having known her as a waitress before in another Chinese restaurant. Went there with my boyfriend and some friends for dinner last night and I was very surprised how cozy and relaxing the place is. Staffs are so nice and attentive, calamari and shrimps are crunchy outside and tender inside…varities of veggies for a salad of your choice, meat for grill are so tender..I liked the idea of ​​not putting too much food in the tray, that way it keeps the food warm and not dry. The decoration is pleasant to the eyes. I highly recommend this one.

Ich kann das Restaurant nur empfehlen. Neuer Inhaber!!!!!!!! Tolles Buffet, alles sehr frisch und lecker!!!Sehr freundliches Personal. All you can trink plus Buffet all you can eat und das alles für 29,90 €.

Had dinner there again today after a long time. It's now all you can eat and drink. The selection was quite good and everything tasted good.

Waren heute nach 1 Monat wieder da, mussten feststellen, dass es neue Betreiber hat, war erst mal skeptisch, naja seit 25 Jahren Stammkunde da. Haette immer blind zum BUeffet gehen koennen, und alles waere da gewesen, wo es immer war. Zugegeben, ist erst mal gewoehnungsbeduerftig fuer mich gewesen, da sich vieles geaendert hat. Es hat sich geaendert: das Arrangement der Bueffets, mehr Auswahl. Mongolisch alles sehr frisch auf EIS. Die Preise : Mittagsbueffet 12,90€ Erwachsene, Kinder 6-10 Jahre 8,90€ Kinder 4 Jahre 4,00€ Kinder 5Jahre 5,00€, Kinder 6 Jahre 6,00€ Kinder unter 3 Jahren kostenlos . Beim Abendbuffet hat sich sehr viel geaendert. Da hat man die Wahl zwischen nur Buffet + Getraenke separat da kostet das Buffet 21,90 € glaube ich, oder Buffet all you can eat and drink! Fuer eine Flatrate von 29,90€ Erwachsene! Kinder entsprechend weniger. SOOO jetzt nochmals zum ESSEN, alles frisch, genug vorhanden, geschmacklich anders aber gut! Ich kann das neue Konzept weiterempfehlen! Die neuen sind erst seit 2 Wochen am Start. Sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, Daumen hoch, weiter so!

Went back today after 1 month, found out that it had new operators, was skeptical at first, well I've been a regular customer for 25 years. I could have always gone to the buffet blind and everything would have been there, where it always was. Admittedly, it took some getting used to for me at first, as a lot has changed. It has changed: the arrangement of the buffets, more choice. Mongolian everything very fresh on ICE. Prices: Lunch buffet €12.90 adults, children 6-10 years €8.90, children 4 years €4.00, children 5 years €5.00, children 6 years €6.00, children under 3 years free. A lot has changed at the evening buffet. You have the choice between just the buffet + drinks separately (I think the buffet costs €21.90) or the buffet all you can eat and drink! For a flat rate of €29.90 adults! Children correspondingly less. SOOO now back to EATING, everything fresh, enough available, different taste but good! I can recommend the new concept! The new ones have only been available for 2 weeks. Very friendly and accommodating, thumbs up, keep it up!

Lunch: All-you-can-eat buffet for 10.90 euros Update: New owners since June 1st, 2024. My accidental first visit in the first week didn't convince me: the spring rolls and wontons I loved so much were no longer available, the sauces were very watery and many of the dishes tasted the same (and had similar ingredients). However, a lot of things were still under renovation (empty drinks refrigerators in the entrance area, card payment not possible, missing or incorrect labeling of the food (by hand)...) I'm curious to see whether this will turn out well... Therefore downgrading from 3 to 2 stars. As I said: I'll give the restaurant another chance on another visit soon.

Ambiance and atmosphere: The restaurant impresses with an elegant mix of traditional and modern design. The lighting creates a cozy atmosphere. Service: Service was exceptional, with attentive and friendly waiters who were always present without being intrusive. Food and selection: The food selection is huge, from sushi to dim sum to Peking duck. Everything was fresh, perfectly seasoned and of the highest quality. Value for money: For a 5-star restaurant, Gourmet China offers excellent value for money. The all-you-can-eat option is very fair considering the variety and quality of the food. Special highlights: Live cooking stations, an extensive selection of desserts and a well-stocked drinks menu round off the experience. Conclusion: “Gourmet China” is a must for lovers of Chinese cuisine. From the atmosphere to the service to the excellent selection of food – everything is just right here. Unreservedly recommended!

I really didn't like eating in the restaurant back then, but since the new owners of the place came in and the restaurant and the buffet were renovated, everything is really worlds better, the new staff, the new dishes to choose from, the sauces, everything is really perfect up to the point Last point, no cold food, everything is fresh and warm, the salad is fresh and really well done and you can also tell that the staff and waiters really work there with heart and not just for the money. All in all, give the restaurant a chance is very suitable for family occasions and the price is technically very good.

The restaurant impresses with an excellent selection of dishes that consist of fresh ingredients and creative preparation. The friendly service and the cozy atmosphere make every visit a special experience. Including the staff is also very great and I would love to eat there again every time!

I had a wonderful dining experience at China City. The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome from the start. Our waiter was attentive and gave excellent recommendations. The food was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant for its outstanding service and great food. Looking forward to my next visit!

Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere 😁 Very satisfied👍

For the first time I was super disappointed, the buffet was poorly stocked, and what was there was only lukewarm, it's a shame that they didn't even fill out anything, and in the bowls, most of which only contained leftover vegetables (lukewarm). However, there were hardly any Guests there, which is not surprising given the quality. It's a shame it used to be great there Update 5/31/24. Tested the lunch buffet again today. It was fresh, hot, tasty and varied. Very good 👍

We wanted to spontaneously eat something small on Sunday because at first glance it seemed as if the lunch menu on Sunday only cost €9.90. In fact it was €17.90. Ultimately we didn't want to complain that the food was cold and there was little choice as we thought it would cost under €10. Even though we both had something to drink, we were charged €2 each in addition to the buffet (normal penalty for food without drinks). Ultimately just under €50 for 2 drinks, cold food and very little choice. There is much better for the price in Kaiserslautern. :-)

Food is no longer refilled like it used to be and hygiene is not up to par. Staff quite unfriendly. Unfortunately this has become a permanent situation. We'd rather leave it alone... We were happy to go there again and again because the quality was still much better for us - unfortunately it's over as standard as with the mass processing stamps.

I don't drink while eating for health reasons and I was told that I have to pay an extra €2 on top of the buffet price of €19.90! Explained that to the lady. She didn't or didn't want to understand it. I got up and left! I wasn't that hungry after all.

We used to enjoy eating here. I've been there 3 times now for the buffet lunch, but it was nothing. You're constantly standing in front of containers that only contain onions or vegetables. Meat is rarely replenished, you have to look for it. When the lady fills it up, it's empty in no time. Can't recommend it more. A pity

Food was good, service friendly

I go out for Chinese food very often but this is. More than bad. The choice is not worth mentioning, And many of the ready-made dishes have too much salt, so I only order drinks after I ask several times.👎🏻

A nice restaurant with great service. Gladly again.

Essen war die Katastrophe. Saucen waren ekelhaft Wirklich widerlich! Essen kalt und alles nicht frisch…

Gutes und reichhaltiges Buffet.

Das Essen war nicht schön anzusehen. Es sah alles nicht so frisch aus. Salat war trocken und teils braun. Buffet war kaum etwas in den Behältern und es war kaum jemand im Lokal Alles in allem nicht zu empfehlen

Preis ist niedrig ,aber Service und Qualität auch.

Das Essen war leider nicht optimal aber ich war auch sehr spät da zum Abendbufett

Der Vorzug dieses Lokals ist, das das Essen in deutlich ruhiger angenehmer asiatischer Atmosphäre stattfindet, als die anderen asiatischen Großraum Lokale. Dafür ist die Auswahl hier eingeschränkter, vor allem was den Grillbereich anbelangt. Service war aufmerksam, recht prompt. Zum Essen muss man nicht soviel sagen, wir hatten das Buffet zusammen mit dem Grill. Für 18 Euro pro Kopf geht das durchaus in Ordnung. Gourmetessen sieht natürlich anders aus, kostet dafür deutlich mehr. In Kombi mit einem Kinobesuch immer eine gute Option.

Eine angenehme Lokation. Es ist dort gemütlich und macht aufgrund der Größe nicht den Eindruck von einer Bahnhofshalle. Die Preise sind annehmbar und das Buffet hat eine geringere Auswahl, was aber trotzdem vollkommen ausreichend ist.

Alles halt sehr fleischlastig. Für Vegetarier fast nichts da

Buffet war gut, hätte aber etwas mehr Auswahl sein dürfen

preislich und qualitativ sehr gut👍

Das Lokal kann ich absolut weiterempfehlen. Ich über die Jahre nun schon viele Male hier gewesen. Ich wurde noch nie enttäuscht.

Ich habe noch nie ein Buffet gesehen mit so wenig Auswahl und das für 18 Euro

Eine tolle Atmosphäre. Leider war es essen nicht ganz so gut. Personal war wohl an diesem Tag nicht gut gelaunt. Beim Tisch abräumen nicht geredet oder gefragt ob alles in Ordnung wäre. Sehr schade. Aber es ist sehr gemütlich dort.

Einer von den besten in Kaiserslautern.

Located in the same building as the UIC movie theater, it's a small Buffet but was very satisfying. Service was great, it's clean and the food was always fresh.

Leckeres Buffet. Preis Leistung stimmt. Immer wieder gerne.

Muss man auch mal besucht haben

Sehr leckeres Buffet Klein aber fein Ich komme wieder... spätestens beim nächsten Kino Besuch

Das Essen war okay. Theke war sauber und gut gefüllt. Bei der chinesischen Bedienung konnte ich keine Freundlichkeit erkennen.

Gehen dort schon hin seit ich ein kleines Kind bin

Wir hatten das Mittagsbuffet und waren mit dem Essen sehr zufrieden. Das Essen war gut gewärmt, schmackhaft und abwechslungsreich.

Wir waren nach dem Kinobesuch hier mal wieder buffet essen. 2 Softdrinks und 2x Buffet kosten 43,20€ Viele der Gerichte waren warm, manche aber leider nicht. Es waren immer nur kleiner Portionen in den Behältern, was aber nicht störte, da das Restaurant zu dem Zeitpunkt nur wenig besucht war. Insgesamt war der Besuch OK, aber auch nichts besonderes. Für den aufgerufenen Preis hätte das komplette Essen heiß sein müssen. Eine gute Alternative zu den „Tempel“-Restaurants, aber sonst auch nichts besonderes.

This restaurant is located in the lobby of the movie theater. When I opened the door, I was amazed at how nice the restaurant is. A hostess greeted me immediately and service was very fast. I chose the buffet. All the food was plentiful and hot. If you are in the area and you are in the mood for Chinese food, this is a place you should consider. The restaurant is handicap friendly with plenty of seating available.

Preis Leistung stimmt hier und es schmeckt 👍

Das Mittagsbuffet ist zwar nicht sehr üppig aber das preis Leistungverhältnis top buffet und ein Getränk für knapp 13 Euro kommen gerne her

Leider sind die Bedienungen nicht wirklich entspannt. Neben uns waren noch 3 junge Leute im Lokal. Trotzdem waren die 2 Essen und die 3 Getränke zu viel. Das Essen war okay.

Wir waren mittags dort. Da kann man sich preisgünstig am Buffet bedienen. Essen war sehr gut. Getränke sind auch relativ günstig dort. Allerdings ist mittags eine kleinere Auswahl an Speisen verfügbar. Das Ambiente ist typisch für ein solches Restaurant und gemütlich.

various dishes from 11:30 up to 2:30 proposed as a buffet. Very distinguished lady serving for beverages of your choice- I often go for buffet at at lunchtime I recommend it! During wintertimes I am used to take a springroll and a soup first

Ich war im UCI Kino. Nicht im Restaurant. Keine Ahnung warum Google mir das anzeigt

Der beste Chinese den es gibt :)

Das Buffet war reichhaltig, der Preis angemessen. Das Essen könnte für meinen Geschmack etwas mehr gewürzt sein. Ansonsten ganz okay, aber auch nichts Besonderes.

So ein schlechtes China Buffet habe ich noch nicht oft in meinem Leben gehabt. Das Essen war nicht frisch, sichtbar am Gemüse und Obst. Das Fett/Öl war alt und die Frühlingsrollen haben nach altem Fett gerochen und geschmeckt. Das Essen war nicht richtig ausgezeichnet und zumt Teil nur lauwarm. Wir hatten alle noch am Abend nach dem Besuch Magen-Darm-Probleme.

Es wird kein Test benötigt wenn - ihr geboostert seid - eure 2. Impfung nicht älter als 3 Monate ist - ihr genesen seid und eure Infektion nicht länger als 3 Monate her ist. Waren am 13.01.2022 da, war wie immer SUPER!

Wir Assen vor dem kino Film dort, was soll ich sagen, um 20.00 uhr kaum noch etwas auf dem Buffet, das was noch da war, war lauwarm und hatte nicht wirkich einen Geschmack. Der Höhepunkt war dann der Versuch,das Rückgeld teilweise einzubehalten auf die Hoffnung das man es nicht merkt wenn die service Kraft einen auf "bin im Stress" macht. Erst nach 3 maligen vorrechnen bekam ich auch den Rest des Rückgeldes. Ganz einfach Finger weg von diesem Restaurant.
