China Restaurant Eisenach Nin Hao in Eisenach

Limited selection. Mediocre food. Unfriendly staff.

The most German Chinese food I've ever had. Everything was bland except for the chicken and duck. The sauces were all flavorless, as if they'd been diluted with water. The soups tasted just as bad. Anyone who likes Asian food will unfortunately be disappointed here. The ambiance is great, even a little robot that clears the table is nice, but unfortunately, the food is absolutely disappointing.

Very extensive selection and very tasty. Everything was also labeled.

I don't understand some of the comments. Yes, you have to get the drinks yourself. What's the problem, please? At a buffet, you have to get up and get your food anyway. We were very satisfied with everything; the food was delicious, and the price for the lunch buffet with drinks was great. We'd love to come back <3

Very quiet. The buffet was very extensive.

A very nice receptionist, but that's about it. The food is terrible; they simply defrost, reheat, and maybe even fry it. It's in keeping with the concept, but there are certainly higher-quality products available. The drinks selection is reminiscent of an Albanian rest stop from the 1970s. The dining room was very cold and more reminiscent of a cafeteria. For €26, the offering is clearly too little. Kids love it because a machine takes over some of the service. That alone isn't enough to make them come back.

Unfortunately, I agree with the previous speakers. You're not offered any service, you have to get your own drinks – no one even comes to your table to pay; you do that in the entrance area when you leave. A robot clears the table when one of the few employees sees the plates piled up on the table. The buffet had a very, very small selection, much of it lukewarm or even cold. The cutlery, plates, and even the floor were greasy; your hands were sticky, and you could slip on the floor. It was an experience – we'd rather continue to drive to Göttingen (just as far as Eisenach is for us), pay a bit more (€5 per person), and have a huge selection, great service, and you feel like a guest rather than a passing shop.

Good buffet restaurant, somewhat limited selection of dishes, but very tasty and good quality. Not cheap in terms of price. The ambiance is okay, with a bit of a dining room feel.

Have always been satisfied so far.

Chinese people used to always smile. Not anymore. You can see why. We wanted a quick bite to eat at 2 p.m. one weekday. There was hardly anyone there. My wife and I didn't want a buffet. They pointed out its advantages. But we ordered from the menu. That would also be the last time the waiter came to our table. It felt like an experiment! After a short while, a robot called our table and brought the drinks. Luckily, we had the same thing. Things get more interesting with four people... It went to the kitchen and immediately returned with the first meal. Without any information about which dish it was! The other meals looked almost identical. It used to be called "service." Today, you decide which meal is yours. Great future. You could even place your own plates on the robot. So, clear away! Next, I'll do the dishes. Never again! No personality. You feel like a cow in a barn being processed. Or better yet, like at McDonald's. Order yourself, pick up, and clear away the tray. You only realize you got peanut sauce from your friend when your allergy kicks in and you're taken to the hospital. It's a shame, it's actually nice inside.

Nice little Chinese restaurant. Highly recommended. All-you-can-eat with drinks and coffee and cake for €14, now €15.90. Totally fine, though. You should get there by 12pm, as they don't refill as much as they used to. The little robot cat is a cool highlight.

A year ago, I would have given it 5 stars, but it's deteriorated considerably. During my visit today, the selection wasn't extensive, and everything tasted the same; it was nothing special. They didn't refill the food promptly either. They had chicken, yes, but I couldn't eat the duck today; it just wasn't available. A real shame!

Unfortunately, we were disappointed with our visit. The sushi didn't seem fresh, and the rest of the food was either lukewarm or quite sticky. Upon arrival, we also had to find our way around on our own, as no explanation was offered. The only small highlight was the chocolate fountain—although the fruit that accompanied it wasn't quite ripe either. Overall, unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it.

Upon our arrival, we had to figure everything out on our own, as the staff unfortunately didn't explain anything to us, and communication was difficult. Overall, the food was very disappointing: It tasted like it was from the day before and was mostly cold or lukewarm. Unfortunately, it wasn't a good experience for us.

We like going here because of the good selection. Okay, I've had much better sushi, but it's not really a sushi restaurant. The staff is always very friendly.

Here you'll find everything your heart desires: soup starter, main course, and dessert.

Friendly staff, solid buffet, outstanding value for money

I ordered two Chinese dishes here based on the photos (beans with chili deep-fried and scrambled eggs tomato). The scrambled eggs tomato were perfect, but the beans had nothing to do with the actual dish (they had onions instead of chili, and they were the wrong beans, and they weren't deep-fried either). My mistake was definitely not asking how much it would cost beforehand. But €28 for tomatoes, egg, and beans was way beyond my imagination and I would call it a rip-off.

This is our fifth time here (from Hanover by train). The lunch buffet is very good. Less than €15 per person including drinks. 100% recommended. The staff recognized us. 😀

We were here for the evening buffet on a Friday in June 2025. We didn't need to reserve a table. We enjoyed the food, and we also liked the selection. It was criticized elsewhere as "not very plentiful," but I wouldn't agree. The price of €22.90 is reasonable, especially since soft drinks and coffee are included. Unfortunately, the latter was only "okay" at best in terms of taste. The main courses and the two soups were all good, so we were satisfied.

Clearly recommended, spacious, lots of room, friendly service and delicious food!

The restaurant was closed for a long time. So we were curious... and we weren't disappointed. 😀 We'd love to stop by again. See you then.

There is very tasty food at the buffet everything is freshly prepared

We had an extremely positive experience here today. The food was delicious and the value for money very good. Highly recommended!

Yes, great location and very good food. The food could be a bit hotter.

We were here for the buffet today... all in all, we were disappointed... lukewarm to cold food... not a huge selection... we just wanted to try it out and are now sure that if we're going to eat Chinese, it's on Thälmann Street in Eisenach!

In my opinion, the buffet wasn't very extensive, but it was sufficient. Taste okay, staff wasn't very good for me, I had to find out how everything worked even though there were 2 employees there. My question about WiFi was answered in the negative even though a network was available.

Really good play area for children Food and drinks all you can Drinks not so good

No recommendation!!!!! The food was inferior Tk goods. From Dickmans, cream puffs, cheap ice cream or thawed cakes, you can get everything that the supermarket freezer offers. Does that justify a price of €22.50? No, definitely not. The food, especially for vegetarians a correspondingly tiny selection, which was to be expected, was actually quite tasty. Standard noodles that you drown in soy sauce to give them flavor, incredibly delicious spring rolls (tk of course) and badly peeled oranges on skewers. There was also cheap marble cake to choose from (not frozen but from the plastic packaging in the supermarket) and cheap Kaufland ice cream. The sushi was homemade, but just very boring, simple sushi. The only vegetarian option was cucumber and lots of rice. The only exciting thing is the robot that ensures that you have to get up and sort your plates yourself. At the end there was coffee, which you get from the buffet. It tasted particularly sour and cheap. I'm sure it's worth a visit...if you own the shop and you can make a lot of profit from low-quality food with particularly low product costs. Then yes, then it's worth it. I *wouldn't* go again, but once you've been there, you can try to make the best of it. The baked bananas and sesame balls are good.

Unfortunately we were bitterly disappointed in this restaurant today. The food was cold, without any taste. Spices were completely missing. When we asked, we were given salt and hot sauce. The edge was lost on the way to the table. The vegetables tasted like cardboard. The crispy chicken pieces were from the deep fryer, that should be added. We definitely don't recommend it.

We were here on a Friday around 7 p.m. The price-performance ratio is very good. The selection of food was good and there was plenty of everything. Also hot and very tasty. Soft drink selection is also good. We can recommend the restaurant. And if you don't like the buffet, you can also order ala carte and order drinks separately. The beer from Paulaner is very tasty 😋

Very good food and also great value for money. We ordered twice from the menu but the buffet is also highly recommended

The buffet is highly recommended, with a large selection of many different dishes. Just don't go too late, as some things are a bit colder.

Leftover food and not really tasty, unfortunately not a large selection of food. Soft drinks suck. The cashier said they could have spoken to the staff. We had a buffet and the staff had to pay attention to when and which items had to be refilled and not the guest, especially when there were customers on site. Peanut sauce was not available, the sauces that were available didn't taste good either. For the price you can eat very tasty somewhere else.

Definitely not a recommendation. It would no longer be refilled, the sauces in the warming bowls had dried up and some of the meat, and fish was no longer available and was also not refilled. The taste was disgusting, even the coleslaw didn't taste good and the lettuce wilted in the bowl. There is no peanut sauce and the soft drinks from the dispensers were also inedible. It's been a long time since I've seen such a bad and uncomfortable restaurant and been treated so poorly. Only the chocolate fountain is probably a highlight for the kids... whoever needs it.

Delicious, rich buffet, the robot cleans up.

Drive an extra hour there because we don't have such good authentic food in our area. Everything is just right!

This was our first time at a Chinese restaurant and it was a great experience.

We came across this restaurant by chance and were so pleased that the food was delicious, the selection was absolutely sufficient for us and it was clean and tidy for us. We would definitely like to come back when we are in Eisenach - it was really tasty.

Always again, delicious, lots of choice and plenty

They even have a driverless transport vehicle for technology students.

For 22.90 euros, a fairly straightforward buffet. There is also very little refilling when there is a rush. The Chines on Thälmannstrasse has a much larger buffet on offer for one euro more.

Very reasonable prices compared to other restaurants in the area. The food on offer is great and tastes excellent. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is courteous and fully motivated. We'll definitely eat here more often now 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I still know the house as a cinema from back then and that's the only reason I went there. CONCLUSION You can't go wrong! Great buffet, friendly service, very tidy and clean atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

There is something for every taste and the buffet is really great

Friendly people, everything clean and tidy. The atmosphere is more like a large canteen. Still somehow typical of China. However, we didn't like the food at all. Buffet price 22€/p, duck meat and vegetables were very salty, prawns were delicious in garlic but also oversalted. And the squid rings cold, hard and dry. According to staff inquiries, they had been in the buffet for a few hours. Unfortunately no see you again for us.

Very tasty and very nice atmosphere. I'll go again!!!!

Food large selection and very tasty

There is absolutely nothing to complain about when it comes to the price/performance ratio. (buffet)

Simply a great address. You can't go wrong here.

Naya... - The taste of the food was not very spicy - Hot sauce, which is offered, is not spicy - Buffet is poorly filled - Noodles were burnt - The cutlery used to serve yourself at the buffet is sometimes so hot that you burn your hands - Two person buffet including a wine and a beer €40.40, rather expensive and not appropriate for this quality. + Drinks were delivered quickly + Friendly staff I don't have to have it again now. This was one of the worst Chinese restaurants I have ever visited.

It was my first time there, but I already know some Asian buffets. The price is really great. The restaurant was very busy. Unfortunately it didn't convince me at all. The food is not very seasoned and a lot of it is fried to death. Authentic spices are simply missing. For me, most of the dishes were bland and cooked without love. Mass production. Unfortunately it doesn't come close to the Chinese buffets I've visited so far, such as the gourmet temple in Forchheim. I won't be going back there any time soon. But as I said, the house was full, so it must convince most visitors 👍😉 I was full, but not with pleasure.

It was again very good and the staff was friendly, the price-performance ratio was also very good

The Chinese restaurant mainly serves buffet style. But you can also order individually. On my birthday, the buffet was still full shortly before the end. What's interesting is that non-alcoholic drinks are included in the price. The restaurant is really recommended.

Good Chinese lunch buffet for €14.90 including drinks. There are meat as well as vegetarian and vegan dishes.

Here too I was surprised. The buffet was always refilled and delicious. Drinks from the vending machine were included in the price.

It's a shame, the quality of the food has deteriorated significantly. The price has been increased by 3 euros per person. For us it was the last visit.

Soft drinks, tea and coffee and even ice cream included in the menu.

Well.. Location terrible. Service clears up far too quickly. You're basically still eating... food is warm but tasteless... I don't have to go there again

Everything was great. Always happy again.

Buffet with a good and extensive selection. I can recommend.

A typical Chinese restaurant. Food and service was good

Our day today started very early, so we were there as soon as it opened at 5 p.m., even though the all-you-can-eat buffet we had chosen wasn't supposed to start until 6 p.m. Nevertheless, we were welcome and were allowed to help ourselves to drinks and sushi. There was also soup soon. The food afterwards was of course very fresh, tasty and wholesome. A great buffet with everything on it, even fresh salmon! It was more than worth the 22.90 euros. Thank you for the hospitality!

Very tasty food, great selection and everything was always filled immediately...very child-friendly and great value for money 👌

Food was cold to lukewarm, very little selection and then crappy at two beers.

We were there for the last time!! The prices have been increased and as soon as there is something more going on, you wait in vain for new food. The food was tasteless, extremely greasy and unfortunately almost nothing was refilled the entire time we were there. If you offer a buffet, you should be able to fill it up quickly and promptly. I'd rather not start talking about the cleanliness of the toilet.

Great restaurant! The staff were very friendly and understanding - even if it was a bit wilder with our two children. The food was delicious and the price for the buffet was absolutely reasonable. We'd love to come back!

Very child friendly! Even with a separate play area for the little ones.

Food was really great and great value for money

It's worth a visit, it's simply brilliant!!! 😃😃😉😉

We were there yesterday, September 15, 2024, for the first time, but certainly not for the last. The choice of food is plentiful, from sushi to TWO soups and salad to a chocolate fountain. Everything available. And the service when refilling and clearing away is quick and friendly.

I was totally surprised at €20 worth of food thanks to the buffet and drinks. Except for alcoholic people, they get paid extra, I think it's good👍. When there are mixed drinks, a traveling Roby☺ comes to the table and brings him something different. Class

It is positive that the soft drinks and various types of coffee and tea are included in the buffet price. However, the Bains are only refilled sporadically, so the buffet always looks empty... It's a shame, the taste of the food was quite good.

It was really very nice and good there. The atmosphere was very nice and the staff was very nice and provided good service. There was a great selection of food to choose from, everything was hot or at the right temperature for the food. Me and my partner are in a very positive mood and would love to come back

Very, very tasty, nice service and I think the Robi is great.

Delicious food served in buffet style. I recommend. You can eat delicious food at a reasonable price. Nice atmosphere and atmosphere of the restaurant.

Selection Good. Prices reasonable. The funniest thing is probably the robot that you can call with a buzzer to take away dirty dishes

Very tasty buffet with a large selection including soft drinks for a price of €19.90 per person. Restaurant very nicely decorated. If we're near here, we'd love to come back.

I decided to visit this Allyoucaneat restaurant during my vacation in Eisenach. But I was very disappointed that the food from the buffet was only lukewarm and the taste was average at best. All of this was bearable until I tried the sushi, which was the worst sushi I had ever eaten. At the end I tried the dessert, which only consisted of purchased products such as cream puffs, jelly and small cakes. With the ice cream you could even see which supermarket or discount store it was bought from. At least the drinks flat rate with soft drinks and coffee specialties convinced me.

Nice staff, nice atmosphere, great selection, central location in the old town.

Best Chinese restaurant I've ever been to, not only in terms of the ambience but also the food, very tasty, huge selection and by far the best price-performance ratio, even with a play area for children, very nice and well implemented respect

It was really tasty again 😋 The buffet is just great.

Too few options for a Buffet restaurant, the food did taste ok but i could feel that it was just heated.. but what could u ask for the price of 20?

Very nice there, great food, great service. Great value for money, highly recommended

I recently visited Nin Hao restaurant in Eisenach, and while the food was delicious, my experience was completely ruined by their unethical practices. I went during the 12-2 PM all-you-can-eat offer, under the impression that I could order as much as I wanted as long as I ate it there. However, to my surprise, I was charged an extra 5 euros for "ordering too much." This was never mentioned anywhere in their offer terms. The unexpected charge felt like a scam and left a bad taste in my mouth. I’m definitely never going again. Beware of hidden fees!

Great restaurant with lots of space to linger. However, in order to really take advantage of the extensive offerings, you should show up within the first hour after opening, as there won't be any "refills" later and you will then eat what is left over from the big battle at the buffet.

Unfortunately, the meat quality is not good and there is little choice for vegetarians - more like just side dishes. It seems that a lot of things are manufactured and warmed up industrially. The aquarium should be cleaned again. The facility is great.

It's a Chinese Buffet Restaurant with 20+ dishes for all you can eat with 2 different soups and multiple desserts and fruits. The menu is also accompanied with drinks as well. The menu is nicely combined with noodles and rice with different assorted vegetables and sauces. The vegetarian menu can be limited with most dishes dominated with meats. Service is very generous and quick. The rates are great in the afternoon and good in the evening. The ambience is very calm and can enjoy the food pleasantly.

Great buffet, soft and warm drinks included 👍🏻

If you love Chinese cuisine, you've come to the right place. All dishes are freshly prepared and warm. There are plenty of drinks to choose from and if you want extras, call the friendly service. Everything was super clean. We are here at least once or twice a month. Buffet is the best. You simply can't beat the price/performance ratio for the card.

Inexpensive but also appropriate quality, buffet mainly fried dishes, prawns from the press. Drinks (mostly sugar drinks) included in the price.

Very Very nice and friendly staff, the addition of the Robot is just the icing on the whole experience. 11/10

Great, delicious food 😋 Buffet, there's something for everyone. Non-alcoholic drinks included in the buffet price. Beer is half price during buffet time. Price per person unbeatable and recommended.

We ordered and picked up. That also went smoothly. However, it was the worst Chinese food we have ever eaten. No seasoning whatsoever, we looked for vegetables in all four portions. None of us were happy with our meal. You probably don't put that much effort into eating out. It's a shame, we won't be ordering here anymore, there are much better Asian cuisines in Eisenach.

Food was cold to lukewarm, the selection was expandable. Almost all dishes were very greasy/oily and tasted accordingly. The staff was relatively friendly. Unfortunately, the restaurant is very loud and not well lit.

Great value for money. Food very tasty and the selection is good.

Since we were too late for the lunch buffet and way too early for the evening buffet, we only had a choice from the menu. It was still very tasty and plentiful. Very positive: the barrier-free entrance and the exemplary disabled toilet. Only the hand dryer was mounted too high.

Great food, the robot cleans up. Cool restaurant, especially for children.

The service is self-service. But the buffet has been well replenished. There was a sweet helper to clear the table. Only to recommend.

Price performance fits. Food was good, but nothing more.
