China City Karlsruhe in Karlsruhe

I chose the buffet, to be honest the food didn't taste that good. Food is not fresh and cold. Employees are rude to customers. The price is very high although there is no good quality and not tasty

Ate at the buffet before a movie on Thursday. Free seating, no reservation necessary. Service was very attentive and friendly. The food and drinks were good. I'd be happy to come back.

My girlfriend and I had dinner at China City before going to the cinema, but unfortunately it was a disappointment. We ordered pasta and rice, but both tasted like they had just been reheated in the microwave - little flavor and an odd texture. The prices were definitely too high for that. Overall not good value for money. We won't go there again. In the youth generation they say: dead food.

Not recommended at all. The food is low quality and I felt nauseous afterwards, that speaks for itself. However, the service was even worse: terribly disrespectful and unfriendly. You're literally looked at askance, as if you weren't welcome. The prices are completely excessive for the performance. Cleanliness also leaves something to be desired, making the entire experience even more unpleasant. Here too, the way we deal with customers online is simply baseless and sometimes even racist - that is unacceptable and speaks volumes about “customer friendliness”.

Buffet's price-performance ratio is more than questionable. The food is of very poor quality and after the visit me and my wife had stomach ache. The service is almost non-existent. And the atmosphere is not comfortable at all. Even at this price, forcing the customer to order a compulsory drink is a disgrace

I had an upset stomach after eating from the buffet :( The food is delicious and there is enough to choose from, but I won't go there again. I've been there several times and have always been very satisfied so far. It's a shame. I also find it very off-putting how unfriendly and aggressive the operator responds to comments. I don't understand, I would rather take criticism to heart in order to improve my service and thank you for the feedback :)

Some reviews here read like a bad joke. Anyone who really knows our restaurant knows that the claims about 'radioactive food' and 'intensive care unit' have nothing to do with reality. Of course, not every visit is perfect - but if you have constructive criticism, you can express it directly instead of spreading absurd fairy tales here. We stand for good food and honest service. Anyone who wants to get a real picture is welcome to see for themselves.

Both the buffet and the food on the menu were really very good. What particularly stands out here is the extremely friendly staff. Recommended: Fried noodles with breaded chicken!

The food is a disaster - as if it were made for pigs. Dirty dishes and cutlery. Such bars should be banned in Germany in the 21st century. The employees would be recommended to take a German course - perhaps then they will understand that it is time to close this shop and stop poisoning the guests.

☢️The food was radioactively poisoned and I now have a massive amount of crap. I'm in the intensive care unit of the emergency room. Employees completely unfriendly. The fridge was open and he blamed me straight away even though I didn't do anything. I was threatened all the time that I would have to pay extra. NEVER GO THERE. The fun cost 78.80 euros for 3 people including 0.75 liters of water for 7.10 euros. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DIE, DON'T GO THERE☢️

We travel often in Germany and have never had such a small selection of Asian buffet food. The buffet is expensive and only worth up to 10eu. I noticed that there is no other buffet restaurant in this city. Such a big city and only one Asian restaurant without sushi at lunchtime - I can't believe it!

Unfortunately it's no longer what it used to be a few years ago. And publicly making humane, realistic assessments here in a racist way is really the last thing!!! And unnecessary propaganda for parties is completely misplaced and unacceptable!!! We don't go there anymore. In addition: quality of the food = just as unacceptable!

Absolute disrespect for people. I don't advise anyone to come to a restaurant who has such a terrible attitude towards people

Delicious buffet, friendly service

I came to a restaurant with a friend, wanted to order food, ended up being treated with disrespect by the staff, the glass of beer was all sticky and dirty, they immediately started discussing who looked what and what kind of thing, they were in a hurry, they were discussing clients, there was no very nice atmosphere, in the end we decided to only order a drink and go to another restaurant.

I went with my friends to dinner buffet, it was so pricey and not at all price worthy... Food doesn't matches my tastes and was salty and uncooked..... There was not so much verieties as much as expected.. 👎🏻

We went to the restaurant to have something to eat but then decided to just have a beer. However, the waiter kept looking at us askance, which made it hard to relax. While we were drinking, we noticed that there was dried dirt at the bottom of a glass. We immediately pointed this out to the waiter, to which he replied: "What should I do? We wash the glasses well, they shouldn't be dirty." After that he went away for 5 minutes, came back and said that we don't have to pay for the dirty glass. (As if we even planned to pay for it🫤)

Very tasty food in a cozy atmosphere. Friendly staff. Versatile buffet. Very happy again.

Today was the last time I was there, the food didn't even taste fresh and was almost cold, just a disaster and extremely expensive 🫰 from now on I prefer to drive a little further away to the gourmet lin in Rastatt, but eating more of it is much better plus drinks are included in the price no matter how often you drink 👍👍and the guy who works there is a bit strong, dark-haired guy, very unfriendly really 🫣🤦🏻‍♀️

Lower middle class food. No matter what you tried, it was unfortunately lukewarm to cold. The taste was reasonable. Given the price, I imagined something different. I was looking forward to sushi, unfortunately there was a lot to choose from small amount. Mongolian cuisine didn't really hit the mark when it came to cooking either fish or meat. It will be the first and last time I ate here. Too bad Addendum: I had stomach cramps and was completely sick the evening. Don't do it to yourself

So for 14.90 euros there is very little choice, you can't eat through other unabridged staff, I'm happy, I won't be coming back

Small buffet, cold dishes Unfortunately we weren't full...

got a too good to go there and all of the food was very good !! i will for sure come to eat here sometimes !

The selection of food at the buffet isn't too big but it's okay. The taste is good but nothing special. The plates are quite small.

Salmon very cold. Food not tasty, really not recommended. Service nice.

As a waiter, I have never seen such unfriendly staff, even though you don't actually have to interact much with the staff.

Rude boss, rude employees. The boss is very angry and aggressive. 👎🏼

The staff is friendly and on the ball. Hardly any waiting time. The buffet is not small, but not particularly large either (good standard, mmn.) The dishes are delicious and plentiful. The prices are fair. The restaurant makes a clean and well-kept impression. Only the toilet in the cinema foyer is a bit strange. I really enjoyed the visit and can highly recommend the restaurant.

it was just okay. Nice selection at the buffet, that’s it. The buffer didn't taste particularly good. actually a bit disappointing 🤷‍♂️

6 years ago it was one of the best Chinese restaurants I have ever eaten at, now unfortunately it is not what it used to be, lack of investment in the consumers' room, dirt, a broken fridge filled with cakes and there are many more to mention, and as for the buffet, the selection is worse than before, beef of a lower quality, fish of poor quality there is no heart in the cook who exposes it, but as in this case, the service is at the highest level, I hope that something will improve in the near future 😋

Beautiful restaurant, great selection of food, all you can eat or huge buffet, very nice and polite service, all 7 people in our family were extremely satisfied. We'll be back.

10/10 delicious, fresh and delicious again 😋

The food is very, very little, so you can stay at home!😆

The worst Chinese restaurant I have ever eaten at. There is very little choice of dishes.

The food is not much, you HAVE to order a drink and if you don't order one you pay €4. Lots of tables but all empty (lunch time). The dishes are really few and there is little food. It's just not worth it

We ate there today and I have to say I have never been disappointed. It goes without saying that the facility is getting old. But the Korean soup with the 8 treasures was really subterranean. It is common knowledge that you can't go wrong with soup in an Asian restaurant. They are usually always very good. It's completely different here and that explains why the waitress really wanted to take me to the buffet. I would have listened to it. The soup came and you could already smell that something was wrong with it. It smelled very fishy, ​​the crabs were inedible and the beef looked like it had been swimming in it for months. The broth was extremely, really disgusting and the broccoli was raw. All in all, the worst soup I've ever had to smell and see. You couldn't eat it. I then asked for the bill, which came without even asking if there was anything wrong... my change was given to me except for one euro, which I only got when I asked. I don't usually write reviews, but I've never experienced anything like this. There are so many good restaurants in Karlsruhe - do yourself a favor and don't go there.

Very tasty buffet with Asian dishes... sushi... you can also have food grilled... we'll be back

I've been a guest at the restaurant for a long time, but recently it's really gone downhill. The meat for frying is often frozen on the buffet and after frying it is like shoe leather. The service is really good and the ambience is nice too. But the food really took off.

I was here on 10/7/24 at 12pm. Ambience very nice, typically Asian. The young waiter, who surprisingly spoke German very well, was very nice and friendly. The lady who was there was also very friendly, only the older gentleman, probably the boss, looks pretty nasty and unfriendly, and there was no hello or bon appetit to be heard from him. I would be afraid that he would knock me out with a kung fu kick if I ordered something from him. This view doesn't fit in the catering industry where you deal with a lot of people. Food was ok, nothing special, any Chinese snack bar would do the same in terms of taste. Very little choice for a Chinese buffet. Many containers were empty and had not been used at all. Probably only in the evening. Small selection of main courses. What doesn't suit an Asian restaurant are fries. Salad was fresh and very tasty. Buffet and a 0.4l soft drink costs €20. Plates are very small, everything is just cake plates so that you don't put too much food on your plate. What bothered me were all the pieces of paper everywhere saying how you should behave and how much you can eat and who isn't allowed to eat and what happens if you leave something on your plate. I almost didn't dare to walk to the buffet twice, lest someone with the evil eye come and kick me out... Once and never again is my conclusion.

.crispy duck great... service top... recommended

When we walked in, we unintentionally left the outside door open and the waiter said "close the door please" in a very rude tone. Everyone has a bad day, but that's not how you treat customers. When we mentioned that the tone wasn't right, he just said loudly, "I said please." We asked him again that the sound wasn't right and he said we should leave. We then left straight away. Once and never again!

You can go, especially if you want to combine it with a visit to the cinema. You should ask for a proper invoice. Dessert minimal selection. I would stay away from the ice cream. You get full. But I don't go there anymore because of the owner's reactions to reviews here

Ordered beef fried rice to take away. Unfortunately it's not to my taste and I'm pretty disappointed. No bean sprouts, pretty German made with peas and corn, I don't like it at all. There's hardly any beef and only small fatty gristles, absolutely not tasty... paid a hefty 12.50 for it. However, the portion was plentiful... still very annoying, no longer an option for me.

Very good food, I took it with me from 2G2G and you didn't notice any difference in taste

Very nice restaurant and freshly prepared food.

Buffet always delicious! Food good and cheap, service nice

I've been a regular customer here for many years. As always, it tastes great, the staff is very friendly and there is a very nice atmosphere.

Super nice service, food came quickly and was very tasty.yyAnytime again.

I ordered from too good to go and I’m very happy with the order. It’s a large quantity and a large variety too so it feels like I went to the buffet myself haha also the food is really tasty

Food was satisfactory at buffet. However desserts could be better. Also "all you can eat" price increases if you don't order a beverage. Which forces you to buy a drink. That's why it costed more than I expected.

For the first time we were allowed to wait, then the waitress adjusted the outside seating with a skillful kick, which resulted in a loud bang. When we asked what it was vegetarian, they couldn't tell. The food was so okay.

Still our favorite in Karlsruhe...Always fresh Always friendly, familiar and no matter what happens, it is taken care of immediately...and now you can buy food boxes every evening at good prices, which also helps ensure that not so much ends up in the trash. ..Great idea even for those who can't afford a whole evening there... Thank you, you're great, keep it up... MKD

Unfortunately, the restaurant was a complete failure, only the fish smelled bad. Bar7 is far too overpriced. You pay way too much for what you get. Far too small a buffet for the amount you have to pay. 60€ for two people, even though you only tried two plates, which weren't even worth it. After that we didn't even feel well. There really are 1,000 better ones, that's not a bad point against the restaurant, but something urgently needs to be done about it

Bad behaviour from staff , not polite.

Food a la carte plentiful and tasty. Many dishes with shrimp (e.g. Bami Goreng). Also dishes from Pyongyang and Bangkok. Service distant but correct. Only the North Korean halogen lighting almost scorches your retinas.

Unfortunately the store was too full on Sunday, so we went somewhere else. But feel free to come by again during the week. Lunch buffet on Sundays 24.90 and weekdays 14.90. We're excited to see what it ultimately tastes like.

Noodles with vegetables were without vegetables, sushi was swimming in wasabi. This can happen during a delivery. However, when I called about the noodles, the employee shot back what he should do now. I was told to contact Lieferando customer service and hung up immediately. As I said, that can happen with the noodles, but then don't snap at me like I made a mistake.

This is The canteen that cooperates with the school initially required one canteen ticket + a mandatory drink to eat, but now it requires two canteen tickets + a mandatory drink to eat once. This way, it is almost the original price to eat this buffet, the minimum drink is 4.1 euros, two A ticket costs 11.6 euros. For students, a meal in the cafeteria is more than 15 euros. So what is the point of the school cooperating with you? Where does the subsidy for the cafeteria go? I said why don't you tell the school that you need two tickets now? This is not good and unfair. We will tell the school where the subsidy to this hotel went. The female boss inside said I just don’t want you to come to eat, so why should I accept the school cafeteria voucher? And they have to raise prices to prevent students from eating in the canteen. Only by being friendly can you make money, and you should always leave room for kindness, not to mention your guests. We said we wanted to write a review and report this matter to the school. The boss lady probably felt guilty and didn't say anything (because the rules they set were against the rules). It seemed that the boss's son actually said: Do you think we are afraid of you? Oops, we are so scared Diese Mensa, die von unserer Schule die Förderung bekommt. Am Anfang muss man Getränken immer gezwungen zu bestellen. , Minimum Getränk 4,1 Euro, Tickets 11,6 Euro, Schüler zu addieren, Mensa wird mehr als 15 Euro, So dass die Schule mit Ihnen zu kooperieren mit der Bedeutung des Zuschusses an das Restaurant und gehen, wo es geht? Ich sagte, warum sagst du der Schule nicht, dass du jetzt zwei Tickets musst, das ist sehr unfair und unverschämt .Wir werden der Schule ein Feedback geben, um diesem Restaurant Zuschüsse zu geben, wo genau es hingeht Drinnen sagte die Besitzerin: Ich will einfach nicht, dass ihr kommt und esst, also warum die Mensaticket der Schulkantine annehmen. Wieder und wieder werden Preiserhöhungen benutzt, um Schülern das Mensaessen zu verweigern. ienen? Wir sagten, wir würden einen Kommentar schreiben und bei der Schule darauf reagieren, die Besitzerin hat wahrscheinlich schlechte Gewissen und sagte nichts (weil die von ihr aufgestellten Regeln gegen das Gesetz verstoßen), und der mutmaßliche Sohn des Chefs kam mit dem Satz: Glaubst du , wir werden Angst vor dir haben? This canteen, which gets the promotion from our school. At the beginning you have to order drinks always forced. Today you have to pay for two canteen tickets+compulsory drinks to eat once. So it is almost the original price to eat this buffet, the minimum drink 4.1 euros, two tickets 11.6 euros, for students to add up to a meal in the canteen will be more than 15 euros, so the school with you to cooperate with the meaning of the subsidy to the restaurant and go where it goes ? I said why don't you tell the school now you have to two tickets, this is very unfair and rude .We will give feedback to the school to give this restaurant subsidies, where exactly it goes. Inside the owner said:I just don't want you to come and eat so why take the school canteen ticket. Again and again price increases are used to deny pupils canteen food. Why do you have to be stroppy to make money? We said we would write a comment and respond to the school, the owner probably has a guilty conscience and said nothing (because the rules she made are against the law), and the boss's presumed son came up with the phrase: Do you think we'll be afraid of you?

Today, July 27th, 2024, I ate in this restaurant at 8:00 p.m. Now it is July 27th, 2024 at 9:20 p.m., vomiting, nausea and feeling unwell. I don't recommend going here.

The food is not tasty, the rules are stupid, it stinks of fried food, the place sucks. Additional payment is for everything, for the bits on the table

Underground service. Unfriendly and disrespectful service.

The Chinese waitress was very rude and the restaurant is deceptive about consumption. This restaurant should go out of business.

I can't understand some of the negative reviews. I always found it very nice and cozy when I ate in this restaurant. I always found the staff friendly and the service was top, not too intrusive but always tried hard. The buffet offers a lot of choice and I also think the prices are quite reasonable. Always my pleasure!

Great restaurant, food (crispy fried duck) was a dream, service was very nice. 💪👍👌

Very good Chinese with a delicious buffet. Sushi is also highly recommended. Staff very friendly.

I went to this restaurant for lunch with my husband on Tuesday and the experience was quite disappointing. When we arrived, the waiter informed us that we could sit at any table as the place was empty. After three minutes, however, he shouted in the middle of the hall that we weren't allowed to sit there and that we should go to another table. We changed tables without any problems as we are understanding, but there was absolutely no need to shout in the middle of the hall, be so rude, rude and disrespectful. We felt repressed and humiliated by the waiter's behavior, which turned a pleasant occasion into an extremely unpleasant experience. We all have a bad day and I sincerely hope that this employee's day has improved in some way. I wish him all the best. Nevertheless, there is a difference between treating the audience respectfully and professionally and simply being unwilling to work. If this is the case, perhaps it would be better to watch TV at home. Furthermore, it is important to emphasize that according to the German Consumer Protection Act, consumers have the right to respectful and appropriate service. The Law Against Unfair Competition and the Civil Code stipulate that consumers must be treated fairly and with respect. This waiter's behavior can be interpreted as a disregard for these rights. The lunch buffet left a lot to be desired, with only a few Chinese cuisine options. The only thing we could find was chewy chicken with curry and noodles. Also, all the food was cold. The best part of the menu was the Coca-Cola which was wonderful. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant and we certainly won't be coming back. We hope that this restaurant takes steps to improve both the service and the quality of the food offered. It is essential that establishments learn to interact with audiences respectfully and professionally to ensure a pleasant experience for all customers.

Ordered from TGTG and loved it. Everything fresh, tasty and plentiful

Little choice, nothing fresh, we won't be coming back, too expensive for such poor quality

A very fair Chinese restaurant. Atmosphere as you would expect, reminds me a bit of Chinese restaurants from my childhood. The food is adequate with a very good price-performance ratio, especially at lunch. Service is usually quick and friendly. Unfortunately my order was already mixed up, which is annoying when you're a vegetarian and still receive meat.

Took the buffet option...good variety

Good buffet with a large selection. Mongolian grill is recommended. Good service and adjusted price

Yes, buffet food is not always the same as a cooked menu, it is not quite as hot and sometimes you get noodles that are hard from being heated over the long term. Fresh fruit, scoops of ice cream with sauces and a lot of choice make up for the little things. The friendly staff and the ambience do the rest. If you go there just for the food, you should order it from the menu, otherwise the buffet gets 3 stars and the rest 4-5...

Well-known great buffet like in the past. Everything is okay, what more could you want, so full points.

Keine optimale Preis-Leistungs-Combination. Nicht sehr lecker, das Buffet ist nicht groß, und die Teekanne wurde halb leer serviert. Not the best price/quality ratio. Not very tasty, the buffet is not big, the kettle was brought half empty.

The food was good, just way too expensive than expected. 1 adult and 2 children, a total of 73€, I think is far too much for a Chinese restaurant.

You have to reserve a table! It is always full. The buffet has a wide variety of fresh products. It also has a Wok to prepare dishes to your liking and lots of sushi. The staff that works is very friendly and always attentive to your needs. It has well-lit underground parking, easy to access and affordable.

After our visit to the cinema we wanted to sit together and chat for a while. The restaurant was busy, but we still managed to get a table. Since we already had popcorn in our stomachs, we only ordered a little something. Unfortunately, the spring rolls and wontons weren't tasty at all. As far as the main courses and the buffet are concerned, I can't judge.

Very nice staff and the buffet was also very tasty. Come back

Very friendly staff. Delicious cuisine, but some dishes contain too much salt for me. The choice of dishes is good. The grill is wonderful.

We picked up 2 pasta dishes to take away. (Pasta with vegetables and pasta with chicken) The portions for a total of €25 were large, but in terms of taste I really wonder what you could do wrong with this dish! I hate throwing away food, but both dishes ended up in the trash because not only did they taste like nothing, they were just oily and consisted almost entirely of sprouts. The last time there for us.

Large restaurant but little selection at the buffet, 8 main courses, some salad and fruit, ice cream and dessert. It's not worth the money. There are better buffet restaurants with more selection.

The staff are very accommodating and friendly, one can only praise them. The food is always fresh and is always refilled before it is finished. Very fast service and the atmosphere is very nice. I can only recommend it, best restaurant in the area

Buffet very manageable; Mongolian grill even more manageable; Dessert bad ready-made cake and ready-made flavored ice cream. Sushi very manageable. Many things are no longer being replenished.

The lunch buffet is really good. It's just under 20 Euros with a drink, the selection is great, and the food is tasty

Very nice atmosphere with good employees. But the lunchtime meal doesn't meet my expectations. The fried things are very hard and cold. My guess is that they are from days gone by.

We've been here a few times and it's always been an experience!!! Nice, clean buffet, it's always refilled, good selection and everything tastes very good!!! Nice, friendly, quick service, All in all, always recommended!!! 👍👍👍

Phew, we just have an order for delivery... given up. The delivery person was very friendly, but the food was a disaster. 2 soups, sushi, spring roll, tit pan duck and chicken. The vegetables in the soups were edible, the broth was so dark and spicy, you would think there was a BARREL of pepper in the broth. Tit pan - vegetables and meat, were more or less lying in a huge puddle of oil, inedible....the noodles: as soon as you opened the packaging, you were met with an extremely burnt smell, which unfortunately proved to be bad in taste, therefore inedible! Spring roll: unfortunately soggy. We thought we'd try something new, but the recessions on delivery... you can't understand it at all at that moment. Really a shame and not recommended!

Had ordered via Lieferando. Half was in the bag (sprinted?) and the other half was incredibly oily and so spicy that you couldn't really eat it. Unfortunately, half of it ended up where it wasn't supposed to. It's a shame, it had more potential

Wurde uns vor einiger Zeit empfohlen. Leider keine gute Empfehlung. Tisch war schmutzig, fettig. Teller vom Buffet waren im nicht funktionierenden Tellerwärmer leider kalt. Die angebotenen Spweisen waren ebenfalls nur lauwarm.

I've waited half my life for a piece of extremely delicate seared salmon. I rate this as extremely inadequate because I received unexpectedly poor service from the many specialist employees. greeting Reiner

Classic, ideal just before the cinema show. But depending on the film it can be very crowded.

Nice restaurant in a great location, in the middle of the city :-) Cozy atmosphere ♡ Food tasted very good, well seasoned, cooked to perfection :) Large selection of dishes, different dishes, drinks. Service staff are always friendly, you feel comfortable and in good hands! I've been there several times and would love to come back. You can also combine it with a visit to the cinema, as this restaurant is located in the building of the ZKM cinema :)

I love this place, it's one of the best Chinese restaurant in Karlsruhe.

I've been going there again and again for many years. We always use the all you can eat buffet and have never been disappointed. For around 15~ euros per person there is a large selection of already prepared dishes + the option of freshly grilled food. We recommend!

The lunch buffet. As has been the case for years, there will also be a very good lunch buffet in 2024. Good and large selection. The same applies to salads or desserts. Everything tastes good. You will also receive excellent service here. So thumbs up and clear recommendation from me!

Excellent Chinese restaurant! Delicious food, very friendly staff. Reasonable prices!

Very good restaurant with friendly service. All the dishes are simply delicious. Great selection. I'd love to come back.

Great team, warm and friendly atmosphere. Food tastes very tasty. Would recommend to everyone.

Again, I just don't understand why people don't make any effort

Super friendly and courteous staff - large portions and great taste
