China Lounge Rote Laterne - Düsseldorf in Düsseldorf

I also ate here, a lot of it was ready-made from the supermarket, no understanding for it... High prices and you get Aldi quality at horrendous prices in my eyes 0 stars

Overrated. I was really excited about this, given a great menu and great pictures and reviews. And it was 'alright'. It just wasn't memorable. Hot and sour soup sounded amazing - dish #2 on menu. When it arrived it was ouster sauce with hot water on it. No heat, no sour. A miss. Ordered number 11 - grilled chicken satay skewers. Only when it arrived, they were not grilled but DEEP FRIED and no satay sauce or salad. I sent the dish back and it was refunded. Dim sum was quite nice, chicken and prawn. Nice taste, pastry and bit thick but fine for this local place. Enjoyed it. Finally the Beijing Spring duck for main, with rice. Half my duck was awesome and fresh and the other half was grey, smelling bad and immediately it arrived, some flies gathered around it!! That was a definite risk from the chef. All in all, a little bit of everything. You will likely enjoy some dishes and not others, a bit of a lottery it seems.

The food was quite good, the service was fast, but not particularly sales-oriented. The ambiance on the street corner... Well, I've had more comfortable seating.

Many people recommended it before I went there, and it was even praised as the ceiling of Dusai Sichuan and Chongqing on Xiaohongshu. I and my three friends were full of expectations and ordered Mapo Tofu, boiled beef, stir-fried water spinach, twice-cooked pork, hot and sour potato shreds, and a large bottle of purified water. Seeing that other guests had lychee drinks on the table next to us, including a yellow drink on the menu with two lychees on it, we said that we would order one according to the lychee drink of the guest next to us + the picture on the menu, and the result was unexpected. 1. Mapo Tofu, the spicy taste is average and very light, maybe they forgot to add salt. 2. Stir-fried water spinach was replaced with stir-fried lettuce because they said they didn't have water spinach, and the taste was okay. 3. Pickled pepper bullfrog was objectively okay. 4. Boiled beef, no dried chili was seen, all of it was splashed with chili powder oil, the taste was very salty, and the fragrance of the original chili could not be felt. 5. Before the twice-cooked pork was served, I confirmed with the middle-aged female waiter who could speak Chinese that we needed spicy green pepper fried pork, so that it would be delicious. As a result, when the dish was about to be served, they said that there was no green pepper, only vegetable pepper. 😂, I was speechless for a moment. I argued with them and asked why you didn’t tell me when we ordered the dishes. As a result, the female waiter’s attitude was very bad. She said that I told you later that there was no green pepper. I said that if you told me that there was no green pepper at the beginning, I might not order it. She said in a very impatient manner that you don’t need to tell me, the dish will be ready soon. I am afraid that I will return it, so I casually said that it cannot be returned. 6. Hot and sour potato shreds, similar scene, I emphasized that it must be green pepper and must be spicy, but it turned out to be sour and pickled. Fried potato shreds with peppers overturned my perception. I have never eaten such bad potato shreds. 7. Three kinds of drinks, the water was finally served correctly. One of them was lychee soda, the waiter saw the customer next to us and told us that it was lychee mango water. Lychee soda was another kind. In order to avoid trouble, we just drank it. It was bitter. I don’t know what the hell it was. Overall evaluation: The taste is very ordinary in Sichuan cuisine, not worthy of the name. The waiter is not familiar with the drinks, and the drinks are wrong. The middle-aged female waitress has an extremely bad attitude, which overturns my perception. It is the worst Chinese meal I have eaten in Germany. When I checked out, I found that the boss is Indian. I hereby declare that I will not go there a second time. I hope other friends will choose carefully.

I had it delivered, and it was really delicious. But there was way too much plastic packaging. It diminished the enjoyment of the meal.

Yes. Very friendly service. The restaurant is also very clean. The food came quickly and was very tasty.

The food was only spicy but otherwise flavorless. This was the case with the appetizer (bao) and the main courses. The drinks were all warm with ice cubes, whether soft drinks or cocktails. One main course was served in a bowl, not in half an annas as stated on the menu. And so on... Everything was great two years ago, but we don't come here like that anymore.

The food was okay, but could definitely be better. It certainly looked good, and was nicely presented, but the flavor was rather bland. A bit pricey, in my opinion, at an average of €18 per meal.

I called to inquire about the Peking duck on offer and to pre-order it for six people, as is common at other restaurants. The first person on the phone couldn't speak a word of German, the second barely, and called someone who was supposed to speak better German. The background noise was deafening; I immediately got a headache. Before I could say a word, the person I called hung up. Absolutely great service... NOT! I will definitely not be visiting this restaurant again.

The restaurant runs two menus that correspnd to two dining spaces. One is the Germanized food served with more refined plating, the other menu is famed to make even the Sichuan natives happy. After picking up so much buzz about this place on Chinese social media, I finally paid a scouting trip, sat in the Chinese room and ordered two deceptively simple dishes. IThe dry-roasted string beans is my go-to acid test. If the chef passes this test, the kitchen is solid. So many things can go wrong. A common deficiency is that the beans don’t have this tell-tale wrinkled look. That would’ve been plainly visible. That would tell you that the beans haven’t been sufficiently roasted on low heat. My beans today are perfect. They also absorbed the rich flavors of the spices, something hard to achieve because of the texture of beans. As is usual in Germany, broad beans are used instead of the slender string beans, but that’s not a problem at all. The cooking top notch. The tripe salad is also 10/10. Now I feel comfortable bringing my folks and friends over. Will keep you posted on other dishes.

It is clearly stated in the app that chopsticks are desired. Additionally emphasized again in the notes. Nevertheless, neither chopsticks nor napkin came, not even an emergency solution such as plastic cutlery. Since I ordered the food to the hotel and of course there were no chopsticks or other cutlery available, I simply couldn't eat it.

The taste is very authentic! ! ! Good news for Dusai Sichuan and Chongqing people! ! The portions are large, the food is served quickly, and the price is good. I will come again. The service is also very good

Always happy for the duck. Friendly service!

The most authentic Chongqing spicy Chinese food I have ever eaten in Germany. I couldn’t even drink 2 drinks to suppress the spiciness, but it was really delicious and had a very authentic Chinese food taste. The waiter said that I could ask for it to be a little less spicy in advance next time!

Chinese menu available with authentic sichuan dishes. Very tasty.

It tastes good if you can make it abroad. Thumbs up.

Great food served fast. Perfect place to meet up with friends. Dont forget to Reserve a table. Its always full.

Super super delicious! Boiled beef becomes a god! Enter the soul in one second

My partner (Asian) and I visited this restaurant for the first and likely the last time. The staff seemed unsure and led us to another room down the street, where we got strange looks before being brought back. It became clear that the second room was for Chinese guests, who received different food, while the first was adapted for Western tastes. The food was tasty but not authentic. I’m more curious about what was served in the other room.

One of the best restaurants to enjoy authentic Chinese food in Germany. Even though it doesn't look like a restaurant from the outside and certainly doesn't look like a standard Chinese restaurant from the inside, everyone can look forward to excellent and diverse Chinese cuisine. Handmade noodles, perfectly sautéed vegetables and a great use of a variety of spices. Again and again and again with pleasure.

Very tasty and authentic Chinese restaurant.

It's really great, delicious and plenty of portions.

The best Chinese food, authentic Sichuan style - but only if you speak Chinese. The dishes are hidden in the Chinese menu. I find this very regrettable! ! Das beste chinesische Essen, authentisch nach Sichuan Art - allerdings nur wenn man chinesisch kann. Die Gerichte sind versteckt ineiner chinesischen Speisekarte. Das finde ich extrem schade!!

After waiting for a long time, the food was not delicious. . .

If you don't like Asian food stamps with a buffet, this is the place for you. The restaurant is manageable and cozy without any flashy Chinese kitsch. The audience is well mixed in terms of age. The food is fresh and good.

Generally a great restaurant with authentic dishes that are fresh, tasty and visually very appealing. Full marks for that and I'll be happy to come back when I'm in Düsseldorf. Unfortunately I have to deduct a star for the service. Ordering the drinks and serving them took quite a long time. Reordering was also difficult. Also a star deduction for the ambience, as it is quite cramped and loud. Not recommended for a cozy meal for two.

Good food, friendly service, cozy environment. They offer vegetarian and non vegetarian options. We were there on a Friday evening and the place was busy, so best to make a reservation. Can recommend.

Rarely eaten so well away from the mega temples with buffet... absolutely recommended🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Finally a really tasty Chinese again. No “all you can eat” where everything somehow tastes the same. Maybe some people think the shop is too dark, everything is red, but the Chinese are also called “Red Lantern”. We liked it and it tasted very good.

Friends who like to eat Sichuan and Chongqing flavors are in luck! Also, their kidney beans are really delicious. If you like spicy food, you can try adding majia spicy drops.

Sichuan style veal is simply terrible, a lot of very Sichuan pepper took away all the spiciness and left half of my face numb. Upon request, the dish was replaced, it was simply washed with water and brought as if it had just been boiled. This is terrible, it was not tasty at all and went in the trash, I didn’t get anything for the high price! Teach your cooks to distribute the correct amount of spices, I have been eating Chinese food for 15 years, but what you are selling is impossible to eat!

The dumplings are highly recommended!

Chinese food is really good but the concept of this restaurant is really discriminatory. Chinese guests eating authentic Chinese cuisine and Western guests eating adapted Chinese dishes are accommodated in two separate rooms, completely isolated from each other. The menus are also completely different. That reminds me of something. If I accidentally wander into the lounge full of Western guests, the staff politely tells me to please eat in the next room. I will not be returning and cannot recommend it. I will not spend money in this restaurant and I will not use my money to vote for a world like this.

Dark and cold. The food is nothing special but the prices are high. Treat Chinese guests and foreign guests differently. The POS is located at the counter, but no credit cards are allowed. Tax trap.

Delicious food, unfortunately slow service at peak times

Insanely delicious duck and homemade pasta! Simply great!

Food was great, service a bit weak. Would totally recommend

It’s delicious. The lady boss is very nice. Even if it’s too busy, the staff won’t worry about serving the wrong dish. When it’s too busy, you may have to wait a little longer.

So delicious! So delicious! ! Really, I am from Chongqing, and my son is

Great little restaurant, unusual dishes with unusual names, very tasty, good service, definitely recommended if you like something unusual Chinese food

The overall taste of the food is good, a bit spicy, the spicy and sour potato shreds and cumin mutton are delicious. The small drawback is that the food service is a bit slow when there are many people, but it is understandable.

The new Sichuan chef this year tastes really good and the price/performance ratio is very good. A meal for 4-5 people costs about 80 euros and can be taken away.

Food was ok, but the service clearly untrained. Bottles are not opened at the table, glasses are not poured and many basic catering rules are not adhered to. We had ordered a lot and wanted to use the empty table next to us, but that was not allowed because it was reserved. That was a lie, because they place the menu cards on the tables of reserved tables. The question from when the table was reserved was also not answered. With a lot of insistence, it was finally allowed and during our entire stay no one came in for this table... What we experienced, another guest also experienced, given the comments, see Google. For the owner, you are not just selling food but an entire experience. We as customers pay money for this. It is not the case that you can expect less quality at peak times, if you want to do that then you should have opened a snack bar. You don't feel completely welcome there, a bit pushed away and mistaken for a pile of money and then the next one comes along. Too bad, never again. There are plenty of places in Düsseldorf where you will be helped more friendly, even on Saturdays and Sundays...

Super tasty and there were some vegan and vegetarian dishes to choose from!

"My colleague said he never agreed to the reservation for you." - After the colleague in question even showed me (and promised) a separate room for booking.

After an extremely long wait of over an hour (despite a reservation) we received our food. Unfortunately the taste didn't meet our expectations. We are very disappointed and will not visit the restaurant again.

The food was okay, except for the sweet and sour pork ribs, which tasted too weird. The landlady was so weird. There were so many seats outside, but she let us sit in the corner and said she had already booked it. Moreover, a friend wanted to sit by the window, but was told that there were not enough people for us. Later, someone with fewer people than us sat there. I originally liked it, but I don’t want to go there anymore.

The ingredients are not fresh. The twice-cooked pork is so smelly that it’s hard to swallow. It’s not authentic. The level of cooking is not even as good as the buffet for Germans.

My son is brave! Chongqing people really eat until they burst into tears! The boiled beef is super fragrant and the spiciness is just right! The stir-fried pork sausage is really delicious, crispy on the outside and plump and chewy on the inside! Mom’s hoof flowers, hoof flowers are soft and waxy, dipped in water is the taste of home! Twice-cooked pork, alternately fat and thin, so fragrant! Close your eyes and rush!

Nice restaurant with a large selection of different dishes. The respective dishes are also very large. If you ask, you can also share the food because extra plates are then provided. Very friendly waiters. Small deduction because I personally didn't like the cocktails that much, but it's also a matter of taste, my friend, for example, found them delicious 🤭

Lots of choice at the buffet. Restaurant has many seats, play area for children and changing facilities upon request!!!!

The Sichuan cuisine in Dusseldorf is the best. I came here twice in one day. It is comparable to the Chinese food in Paris. The boiled beef and shredded potatoes are authentic!

Very authentic Sichuan cuisine, especially the boiled beef, spicy and refreshing, so delicious. Highly recommended!

The food was still sizzling when it was brought to the table. Definitely everything fresh and highly recommended 👍🏻

The food was very tasty. The dumplings were to die for. The homemade sauce for the duck had a slight gummy bear taste, very bold but if you like it, also very ingenious. Plus delicious cocktails at a very fair price. We would love to come back 😊

Authentic Sichuan cuisine in a very cute little restaurant.

The starter was very tasty, the main course unfortunately didn't have much taste but was enough to fill you up. The service was very nice and the food came quickly.

Very tasty food, nice service and acceptable prices, clean toilet. I will gladly come again.

A nice authentic restaurant with good value for money. We ate outside - the proximity to Worringer Platz is noticeable, but not annoying. We recommend!

Perfect food. Unfortunately the service is a bit soulless.

I feel uncomfortable if I don’t eat for a week

Small but no less delicious restaurant, located a little away from the Asian food shops. Clearly for me: thumbs up 👍

Really good east asian food! Really helpfull and polite staff!!

We ate there as a prelude to the musical. The landlord was very attentive and always helpful whether the table should be moved or additional cutlery was needed. The meals were all plentiful and tasty.

Amazing! I was a for one day in Dusseldorf and they help me very well on whatsapp! I went there and the give me the english menucard and i ordered and it was very fast! Amazing food ! I love it!!!!

The food tastes very good and fresh. The prices are a bit high, but the portions are large and filling. The service is also good and the employees are very friendly. Unfortunately, my pasta arrived cold, but was replaced immediately and without any problems when I pointed it out. I can definitely recommend this restaurant! :)

The food was ok, fresh, but without much of its own taste. Only the hot sauce made it tasty. The service was subpar. When served, sauce spilled onto the table along with a piece of pepper. We waited in vain for an apology or for the sauce to be wiped away. When we left the location our greeting was not returned. Never again!

Where do I begin? What about the creative names of the dishes on the menu? With the selection and the well thought-out concept? The quality of the food? The speed at which the food was at the table? Or the warmth with which we were greeted, even though only 2 people and (possibly) a temporary worker sent drinks and food? It was outstanding. Turning the simple into something special definitely applies to the fried noodles and fried rice that we ordered for the children. Decorating the fried rice in a halved, hollowed-out pineapple 🍍 is a great idea. Looking at the menu, you can tell that someone has pursued a creative idea and yet hasn't forgotten that a cold store is not infinitely large and that fresh produce is a prerequisite for this type of food. Accordingly, the ingredients are limited, but the variations are limitless. The food was fresh. Very fresh. And prepared to perfection. I have absolutely nothing to complain about. On the contrary. I urge everyone to visit this restaurant. Otherwise you'll miss something.

Cozy, a little dark, food is delicious

The food here tastes excellent and authentic - not Germanized. The service is great, toilets are on the upper floor and can only be reached by tilting your head for LARGE people. We met 80% of customers here of Asian descent, which alone speaks for authenticity. The menu makes you smile at some of the names. 🤗 Gladly again...

We really liked it! The food was delicious and the service staff was very friendly!!!

Based on the ingredients available in Germany, this restaurant represents the most authentic Sichuan (Chongqing) taste. But the hospitality and helpfulness of the service even outweighs the professionalism of this restaurant。 I gave it five stars because Google only gave me five stars to choose from. Top-level definitely!!

The food is delicious, the portions are generous, and the service is very good

Very nice staff, great atmosphere. The restaurant also has 1-2 more vegetarian dishes on the menu than you can see online. The food was super delicious. An absolute plus point: problem-free and quick reservations possible via WhatsApp. We'd love to come back.

A good place to meet friends. Lots of atmosphere

Very nice place, good food, very nice service. Spent the first date here (by chance). Wonderful....

The Chinese woman who wants to be strong in her life angrily eats three bowls of rice and strongly recommends the boiled beef

Most of them are delicious and authentic. Sichuan cuisine should be among the best in Germany. The boiled beef is the most authentic I have eaten since I went abroad, and it is even better than some places in China. The boss lady is from Chongqing and has good quality control! The average person eats 20 yuan and 30 yuan to eat! Strong recommendation, strong recommendation!

Food was good, varied selection and large portions.

Invincible, the most authentic Sichuan and Chongqing cuisine I have eaten in the past 6 years since I have been in Germany.

Food top. Service OK. Nice restaurant.

Very good food. The restaurant is a bit small, but cozy. Service very accommodating. Food was at the table quickly

Unfortunately the food wasn't good, I've had much better experiences in the past. It was very busy and noisy, but the service was quick and friendly as always.

Very tasty food, but quite cold in the restaurant

Eine Katastrophe. Wir waren ohne Reservierung vor Ort und haben gefragt, ob noch ein Tisch für vier Personen plus Kind vorhanden ist. Im Hauptlokal waren Tische verfügbar. Nach langem überlegen (ca. 5 Minuten) behauptete der Kellner das die Tische reserviert wären, wir aber direkt neben an ins Lokal könnten. Gut, gesagt getan. Hier war es sehr kalt. Keine vernünftige Heizung, lediglich ein Gerät was total schlecht funktioniert. Zudem gab er uns für das Kind einen total unbequemen Stuhl. Wir haben uns dann einen Stuhl genommen von den anderen Tischen (das ganze Lokal war LEEER!!!), jedoch meinte er das ginge nicht da gleich Gäste kommen würden. Ok. Das Essen kam. Es schmeckte alles andere als gut. An Ananas und Hähnchen wurde gespart + überteuert. Wir sind erfroren, trotz essen (was normalerweise mit der Zeit auch wärmt). Wir saßen gut eine Stunde und es kamen keine Gäste, das Nebellokal (wo wir drin saßen & hindisponiert wurden) war immer noch leer & alle Stühle noch verfügbar. Sowas von unsympathisch. Nie wieder.

zu salzig und Sehr langsamer Service

Bei der Bestellung hat die Hälfte gefehlt für den Preis kann man erwarten das man bei 2 Gerichten alles bekommt

Absolut empfehlenswert! Das Restaurant Rote Laterne kombiniert sehr schmackhaftes, authentisches und frisches Essen mit einem unaufdringlich freundlichen Service.

Leckeres Essen, etwas teurer als die anderen Ramen Restaurants. Service ist nett. Geheizt wird mit einem Gasbrennofen.

Sehr zu empfehlen. Ambiente sehr gemütlich. Service super schnell und mega freundlich, obwohl es voll war. Das Essen war mega frisch und unglaublich lecker. Durch diverse Unverträglichkeiten kann ich nicht alles essen. Nach diesem Essen hatte ich jedoch keinerlei Beschwerden!!!

Ich bin jetzt schon öfter in der Roten Laterne essen gewesen. Bisher habe ich immer das selbe bestellt und das wird sich nicht ändern. Das falsche Hühnchen. Unglaublich lecker. Das Personal ist super nett. Das Essen kommt schnell. Bis bestimmt ganz bald.

Wir haben heute über. „ Uber“ Essen bestellt. Einfach nur grandios. So lecker und schmackhaft. So tolles chinesisches Essen habe ich lange nicht mehr gegessen.

Wir sind hier eingekehrt und waren nicht zufrieden. Äußerst kühle Atmosphäre und die Mitarbeiter:innen erscheinen lustlos. Getränkepreise unverschämt, kein Bier vom Fass. Die Gerichte schmecken fast alle gleich, ertränkt in Sojasoße. Die bestellten Gerichte werden in einem viel zu kleinen Teller unappetitlich serviert. Da passt die Beilage (Reis oder Nudeln) nicht mehr drauf. Uns hat es überhaupt nicht gefallen. Eine Empfehlung!!!

Sehr leckeres Essen und gute Auswahl auf der Speisekarte. Waren zum zweiten Mal hier und kommen definitiv auch wieder! Nette und schnelle Bedienung. Als Tipp für Gäste: besser etwas wärmer anziehen, denn die Räumlichkeiten sind nicht so gut isoliert und im Herbst/Winter ist es relativ kalt.

不要被名字或外观所误，大胆入。有中文菜单，豆腐麻辣鲜香，好久没有遇到如此正宗的麻椒了。

Food is authentic, service is over the top. Super friendly stuff, 10/10 recommended

Wir haben gestern das erste Mal im Restaurant "China Lounge Rote Laterne" gegessen. Die Reservierung verlief über WhatsApp, was sehr unkompliziert war. Als wir ankamen, wurden wir ohne Wartezeit direkt an unseren Tisch geführt und auch gleich bedient. Die Getränke kamen rasch, und die Essensbestellung wurde prompt aufgenommen. Wir haben uns alle für die heiße Platte mit Garnelen und Nudeln entschieden, und das Essen wurde recht zügig serviert. Es erinnerte uns ein wenig an den Bösen Chinesen, was aber keineswegs negativ gemeint ist – es hat uns geschmeckt. In der Umgebung gibt es ausreichend Parkplätze in den Seitenstraßen, und ein Parkhaus ist ebenfalls in unmittelbarer Nähe.

Hallo, sie sollten mal an der Qualität der Speisen, die Sie liefern arbeiten. Am 08.10. haben wir bei Ihnen im Wert von 70€ Essen bestellt. Eine ,,Platte“ die laut Angaben für 4 Personen reichen sollte kam an und war alles andere als eine platt sondern hat gerade mal so für zwei Personen gereicht. Die Nudeln waren nicht abgeschreckt und klebt wie Kaugummi aneinander. Das Essen überwürzt und dem Preis überbaute nicht angemessen. Das mit das schlechtes chinesische Essen was ich bisher hatte.

Sehr leckeres Essen, eine Reservierung am Wochenende empfiehlt sich.

Ich muss sagen wir waren echt enttäuscht, bei den "guten" Rezensionen habe ich viel mehr erwartet. Die Kellner sind zunächst einmal sehr langsam und können sich dann drei Gerichte nicht merken. Wir hatten unser Essen erhalten und ich muss sagen genau die Sachen die wir erwähnt hatten wurden dennoch nicht beachtet. Zudem war das Restaurant nicht voll und wir haben 60 min auf unser Essen gewartet. Nach dem langen Warten dann doch noch was zu erhalten worum man zu Beginn gebeten hatte es anders zu machen ist echt unmöglich. Ich kann es echt nicht empfehlen. Und Freundlichkeit wird da auch nicht so groß geschrieben. Dementsprechend kriegt nur das Ambiente von uns zwei Sterne.
